Money is free ly subscribed to purchase arms and ammunition for the insurgents. The Americans will never capture the rebid contraband vessels." - - UM ? mm - ? Miss Helen Gould is plainly Hie kind of woman this country produced in its sturdier and simpler days, lier modest disclaimer of special credit for her war-time generosity to the govern ment, because "an American woman should stand ready to serve her coun try to the extent of her ability," is ad mirably patriotic in its truest sim plicity. _ Whatever the administration may think of the action of tho senate with reference to the Hay-I'auncefoto trea ty, it is quite certain that its Ameri canism appeals to the citizens of the United States. The sentiment of tho country as voiced by tho independent press is absolutely against tho new treaty. If the canal is built and paid for by tho United States, the people naturally want its mangement to rest with us. The heroic light for liberty being made by the Hoers of South Africa, while not securing the substantial aid of tho v -rid, has .elicited its admira tion. ".?th a mere handful of men compared to their opponents, and with comparatively inferior armament they have successfully held at bay one of the greatest of modern powers, inflict ing dire losses that will take even "mighty England" years to forget and overcome _ During the past year Secretary of State Cooper granted chartei s of thirty one cotton milling companies, whose authorized capital aggregates $4,850, 000. During tho samo time permission was given fourteen cotton milling companies to increnso their capital, the aggregate increase of tho capital authorized being $2,045,000. During the same period commissions were is sued to twelve cotton milling company corporations, which have not yet ob tained their charters, whose authorized capital will be $1,405,000. This is cer tainly a tine showing for South Caro lina, and we doubt if it cnn be equalled by any other State in the South. The Directors of tho South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition will present n memorial to tho Legis lature a t its approaching session ask ing the State for an appropriation of $50,000 in aid of tho Exposition, and we sincerely hope that it will be unanimously granted. While this Ex position will bo hold in tho city of Charleston, it is-really u South Caro lina enterprise, and every County in the State will be more or less benefited by it. lt will be the first enterprise of the kind ever attempted in our grand old State, and every progressive citizen in our borders is interested in making it a big success. South Caro lina to-day is attracting the attention cf our entire country on account of the rapid strides we ure making in the manufacturing ?d' cotton goods, and this Exposition will bring thousands of visitors here to meet our people and learn of our resources, products, eli mote, etc. Sumo of these visit?n? will go into every section of the State, and some of them will invest their money and locate among us. The Statu rouhl not make h better investment ?d' the motley asked for, and we believe every member of tho Anderson delegation will favor the appropriation. -=-R-? u% m rn? m.,- - Th United States Circuit Court nt Kansas City has awarded damages to a person injured by a trust in what is said to be the lirst suit of its kind un der the Sherman anti-trust law of 1800 That law, whose provisions have met varying constructions nt tho hands of tho courts, provided that any person who shall be injured in his business or property by reason of anything de clared to bo unlawful by the act may sue in the federal circuit court and re cover threefold tho damages sustained by him and tho cost of the suit. The complainant in tho Kansas City case is a coal dealer. In 1800 he joined an or ganization called the Kansas City Coal Dealers1 Club, which he believed to bo a social organization. Ho afterward found that it was a combination to fix the price of coal and that it named the prices which should be charged by every dealer in the city. Tho dealer was unwilling to surrender his inde pendence in this fashion and withdrew from the club. He then found himself unable to buy coal from any of tho wholesale dealers who were members of the organization, and hence ho could _J- JIU-A.-A. riu.~ lint am nu jr vuunabio. iuv uvu.... v.*. the club caused his business to bo practically ruined, and he brought suit for damages under the anti-trust law.

For the past two years he has ably represented this County in the Legislature and is now entering upon his second term. < >n the door nf the House hu was recog nized as one of the leaders, and his ex perience there coupled with his nat ural ability makes him eminently qual ified for tlx; responsible position of Speaker. No abler or mont impartial member of the House could he secured for the position, and asa representa tive of the Democracy of the Piedmont section he deserves it. With the sin gle exception of a member of the Kail road Commission no State position of honor or trust is held under the present administration by any repr? sent?t!, coi the'up-country Democracy. In the counties north of Columbia tho majority of the Democratic voters of the State reside, and it is seldom that any of tho party leaders in these coun ties aBk for or get an office.

Three Men Killed in Abbeville, one being the Sheriff. U RE EN WOOD, S. C., Deo. i>0. At Abbeville last night, as a result of u drunken man's spleen and malice, thrco men were killed, one of whom was the Sheriff of the County. Tho story of tho triple tragedy sounds more like an accouir* of an oc currence in some western border town than anything that has occurred in South Carolina within recent years. About 9 o'clock last night, in the office of the Miller hotel, several gen tlemen were having a social game of cards. . One of the players was Wil liam Kyle, a northerner, who has been superintending the building of the ad dition to the Abbeville Cotton Mill. While the game was in progress John Ti-L. _-?. t vtnlnmnna ni*..??.. l/nuauj, a ouiuonucav uuvuuuuo vuaiau ter, entered the room. He was drink ing and in a quarrelsome mood. It is said that he had a difficulty with Kyle in the afternoon. In a few moments Dansby managed to have some words with Kyle and applied a vile epithet to him. According to the story of witnesses Kyle got up from his chair and remon strated with Dansby, but without making any demonstration of violence. Dansby drew his pistol, a 45-oalibre Colts, and when a bystander grabbed his arm he quickly ohanged the gun to thc other band and tired, the ball striking Kyle io tho nbdomen. The shooting occurred so quickly that those present hardly realized what had hap pened. Dausby then backed out of the room, declaring bc would shoot any man who attempted to stop him, and started to the home of his father-in-law, Toni Cresswell, who lives near the cotton mil). Tho news of the shooting quickly spread, and Policemen Johnson and O'Brian started in pursuit of the mur derer. They overtook him near Cress well's house, but Dansby stopped thom with his pistol and said he would shoot if they advanced. The police then wont to a ncuib; hnuso and tele phoned up town for assistance. lu a short tillie Shcriif IL L. Ken nedy with several citizens respouded to the summons. They surrounded the house, the policemen being sta tioned at thc windows and Kennedy going to thc front, door. Kennedy called to Dansby to come out and sur render. Dansby came out, closing the door behind him, and with the remark, "Well, we'll go to hell together,' oom mc jced firiug. Dansby wa? shot twice, once in the leg and one full in tho chest. Kennedy was struck once in the left breast near the heart. Doth men emptied their pistols. Kennedy fell as soon as ho was hit, but Dansby walked some fifi y steps and was re loading his pistol when ono of the polioemen ran up and grabbed him, and took tho gun out of his hand. Several others of the party were firing at Dansby at the time, and there is some uncertainty as to who fired the shots that struck him, but it is thought that they were fired by Kennedy. Handouffa were placed on Dansby and he .vas carried to the jail, but died soon after renahing there, about an hour after the shooting. Kc did not speak after being shot. Kennedy was carried to the jail and expired within a few minutes after Dansby. Kyle, who was first shot, lived until 2 o'clock to-day, whoa ho breathed his last. The Coroner to-dry held an inquest and the jury returned a formal verdiot in accordance willi tho f?Ct?. Thic, in brief, is tho story of tho bloodiest tragedy Abbeville county has over known. John Dansby, who pre cipitated tho affair, was a notorious ' character ip Abbeville County.' He was ?l,r?iiv>i?j y oars old and lui . u liv a?,'ti v . n a leekJe.-iH man. Hr u .- :. ii' .?

In thc recent primary he was elected on the lirst ballot over several opponents-, and he took charge of !.is ellice ouly lil days ago. He was a man ol' unques tioned courage and was a splendid cit izen. lie wa;- about ?15 years old, was vice chancellor ol' Abbeville Lodge Knights of Pythias, and had $2,000 insurance in that order. He was also insured in the Woodmen of the World. Hu leaves a wife, who was Miss Har vey, and one child. His remains will bc interred to-morrow at Lower Long Cane church, near his old home. Kvle who was f-;j?n ? ud?o- M?sa and had been superintending the erec tion of the addition to thc Abbeville colton mill, was about 40 years old and unmarried. Ile had finished his work at Abbeville and was to start to his home in Massachusetts to-day. It is said that he and Pansby had had a quarrel yesterday, but this cannot Le verified. During his stay in Abbeville he had conducted himself well and made friends. The people of Abbeville were over whelmed by the t"ugedy. To day groups of three and '. ur stood around the street corners in the drizzling rain discussing the off'?1 in its details. Without dissent Dansby is blamed for the \ hole affair. He was a man with out regard or respect for himself, aud naturally cared nothing for his own life or the life of others. He had long been a terror to many who knew him. There aro no tears being shed on his account, but the regret that Sheriff Kennedy should have lost his ! life in the attempt to arrest such a man cannot be expressed. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. ABBEVILLE, Dec. 30.-Until last night no crime had happened in Abbe ville County to mar the happiness of Christinas. But there are now stretch ed in death threo strong young men, mourned by loved ones, and all Abbe ville deplores tho act of violence which carried them into eternity. Last night at the old Miller hotel John Dansby, a United States deputy marshal, was showing a trick with cards, or, as others have said, was gambling, while Wm. Kyle, a bystand er, was looking over his shoulder. Dansby objected to Kyle's standing behind him and demanded that Kyle , move away. Although he was told ! that no harm was meant Dansby drew \ his pistol and shot Kyle through thc abdomen, inflicting a wound from which the latter died to-day. After this shooting Dansby fled in the direction of thc cotton mill, and was pursued by Policemen Johnson and O'Brien, who found him on fac tory Hill. At this point tho services of the Sheriff, Mr. J. R. Kennedy, were requested by Chief of Police Riley, and both of these proceeded to assist in making tho arrest. When Sheriff Kennedy approached to make the arrest he received a pistol shot through the breast from the hands of Dansby and immediately a fusilado began whioh reso'ted in the killing of Dansby. Sheriff Kennedy was then carried to his home at the jail, where he soon expired. ?le was a highly esteemed and courageous man, and had been Sheriff not quite two weeks. Dansby was a native of this Coun ty, and was 35 years old. His former home was at Verdery.-Special to Co lumbia Sta ie. - To His Many Old Friends. Mr. D. S. White, a native of this Coun ty but who baa been living in Texas for a number of years, in remitting bis nub script lon to The Intelligencer for another year, sends us the following card, which we know will be read with pleasure by his old friends : SH KUM AN, TEXAS, Deo 27.
