Mobley, Jr., Has Probably Killed Mose Johnson. Mr. Edward P. Mobley, Jr., came to town on Monday to Sheriff Ellison and told bitn that he thought that he had killed a negro, Mose Johnson, or. his place. Mr. Mobley is building a new house, a*id Mose wasemplojed by him as a carpenter. Mo^e was disputing about some work, and became very insulting to Mr. Mobiey, and fiually tried to use his knife on Mr. Mobley, and then the latter shot him. At the time Mr. Mobley came to town he did not know whether the negro was dead or uot. He was shot in the head with turkey shot, Mr. Mobley having been out tnrkey hunting. Mr. Mobley sent for a physician. He says that be deeply regrets the necessity of having to shoot the negro, but be feels that he was acting in self-defence. He placed himself in the custody of the sheriff. W. D. Donglass, Esq., has been retained for the defendant.

A Store on Main Street, and in the Very Heart of Town, Broken Into. John Russell's store wa? broken into Sunday night and robbed of about one hundred dollars in cash. The burglar smashed the large gUs3 iii the front door and running his arm through the opening thus made unlocked the door. The desk from which the money was taken was securely locked, and the thief not wishing to rur. the risk of - being caught while breaking it open, carried it to fVio irtf in -toot nf Will?fi>rH,s store and there .removed the ]id and took the money out. Russell suspects a negro tramp, who has been in his employ for several days, of having committed the robbery. This suspicion is undoubtedly well founded, because the thefc was committed by some one well acquainted with the premises, and who knew that the front door was almost always locked from the inside and the key I left in the lock. Every effort is being: made to catch the thief aod it will be pretty hard for him to escape his pursuers. Later.- The negro was arrested in j Columbia late Monday afternoon and nearly all the money recovered. F. VAJeurrAl of 2f*Uei* Jj. Prtf. W.

There was no feeling- in the election !in this county, and it is perhaps the first primary in many years that has left no bitterness behind it The friends of Mr. McLaurin ere, of coarse, very much gratified, but there has been no great demonstration. The iriends of the defeated carc.idates are. of r.ourse, disappoin'el, but as a whole they have quietly and gracefully submitted to defeat THE WIXXSBORO TEAM 'OfOT X?. IT." The Winnsboro ball team returned Irom Columbia on Friday morning after suffering defeat two afternoons iu succession at the hands of the Columbias. The defeat of the home team was a great disappointment to the Winnsboro people, and uo doubt was quite a surprise to the Columbias. a iflrorA r?rnwd was nr?si?nt at both *"*" v*v"" " ~ r games.

A Striking Character Gone?He Lived to be Over Eighty. On Monday night Dr. John Wallace died at his In me near Wallaceville, in (his county. Dr. Wallece figured very prominently in politics before the war, and was devoted and loyal to his State. IT* a ? Of* Aftni /\f rt rrt\ JLJLC UJt ) V.U3 vi u^v/* In the deith of Dr. John Wallace our counly loses one of her most striking characters. He was not an ordinary man in any sense of the word. Personally he was strikingly handsome. He was of medium size, or just above it, but he stood so erect that he looked at least several inches taller than he ;va-. His features were classic, and h; had an eye whose lustre was never cnmmea. Some one said of Gov. Terry that when be walked thrckigh a crowd it seemed like the crowd belonged to bim. Dr. Wallaca was also of this t*. pe of a man. His carriage was superb, bis manners courtly. He would have excited the envy of either of Napoleon's marshals. He was always at himself, the picture of selfpossession that he was. He lived to be moie than eignty, but he never grew old. He was bright to the last, capable of entertaining the liveliest company and of ei>j >ying it. He was a type that appears only occasionally I in the lapse of time to break the monotony of the commonplace in the character of men. To the writer he seemed a ttraggler from the age of knight errantry. True he lived and died comparatively unknown, bat under different 1 ? ! -U! .4 circumstances ne inigm u*v?? auuicvcu fame. He enjoyed i he advantages of a liberal education and po3>essed talents of a high order. He said himself that he missed his calling, that his father ought to have made him a liwror instead of a doctor. The writer has frequently heard him on the "hustings" where he had few equals and no superiors. lie was possessed of ready wit, and a surprising capacity for turning the arguments of an opponent against him. No opponent who knew him would interrupt during the courf-e of his speech, if he did he learned when too late thit he had made the mistake of poking his hea 1 into a frail thresher. I The writer could give mmy amus ing incidents from his speeches in the campaign of*1876 in which he took an active part. When an opponent would plamp h m with an unanswerable question, he would promptly answer with an overwhelming witticism. From the inoinuut thut l.e took the stump the crowd belonged to him. His voice was superb, it c^uld run the wnoie gauiui, \V i t U U oiugic nurn auu convulse a multitude with langhter or j with tears. Away back into th? seventies, Gov. Scott and the big radical guns from Columbia would frequently zo up into the Jeobinsville country, which "was a ? * -- . . *? . i 3 ^ i. Republican strongnoia, ana aeuver addressee, Dr. Wallace was always on hand to reply to them. It did not matter whether he was invited or not, he was there to hold up the then dishonored banner of Democracy and he always did it well. Itstemed bold in ihose days to criticise a Governor, but he did it sometimes in a manner to astonish the natives, and probably the Governor ton. On one of these occasions he scored tbe carpetbaggers unmercifully, saying that even if Scott was an ex ception to the rule, which he doubted, the company which he kept was sufficient to damn him, etc. When the doctor left the stand he picked up Sco t's hat by mistake and pnt it on. IutUmly discovering his mistake he took it off, waived it to the crowd and as proof of his argument said: "See there; I have sssccisted with the Governor for half an hour and S3 a result I stole his hat." He had been scoring the radicals for stealing. But it is impossible to do justice t > th? subject of this sketch in a newspaoer article. His death is a distinc. * -U - _ J LT? ?

Tim frifll Af fVin lionrl <.f whifo moil. the majority of whom are residents of Fairfield County, has at last taken place and there has been no alarming circumstances developed. This affair has been the all-absorbing topic of discussion since the band made themselves felt in such a material way in and around Centreville. Much has been written regarding the affair, and everyone lias oeen more or less gicauy interested in tbe development of the case. Early Monday morning, the day set for tbe trial, tbe town began to fill with a throng ol eager, restless humanity and long before the hour appointed main street was naught but a sea of faces. Some bad anticipated trouble of a grievous nature, but the crowd conducted themselves in an especially quiet manner throughout the entire day, most of tbem returning home <-hori!v after the trial wa^ at an end. A number of witnesses for the prosecution were called, cach and every one after being sworn, testifying' to about the same thing, namely, that at about 5 p. rn.j August 17th, 1897, a band of marked and armed men visited the premises of one David Branham and after some parleying were given permission to enter and search his house. That the search was made but no Mormon elders were found, and the crowd rode off in an easterly direction. Materially, we said, the evidence of all amounted to about the same thing'. In une instance witness testified to the fact that he was struck on the head with a gun; another swore that he was ''cussed," and that his dog was beaten, and yet still another testified that a member of the band assured him that no one would be injured but that the house must be searched. The crowd in riding to and from the house destroyed fatv^A Af rtnvn (ri'ATrinCf OWUJC VI ku^/ v^Vi ii auu b*vT?~- c near. la all the evidence, however, there is nothing which bespeaks anymarked degree of violence or riotousness, yet it was listened to with intense interest from beginning to end. Assistant Attorney General Townsend and Solicitor Henry conducted the prosecution. Messrs. Ed. Ragsdale, of WiuHsboro, and Smith, of Camden, were present for the defence. There was very little surprise when the magistrate bound the prisoners over to the court of General 'Sessions after placing them under a $200 bond. Ana now as 10 uie cause ui tucso raids. Many and conflicting are the tales which come from (he Centreville neighborhood as to the outrageous conduct of the Mormon women, tales which if they be true, go far towards excusing in part the actions of these men. Reputable citizens of this section state that virtue among these women has long since become an unknown quantity and to have their children reared among a set of illigitimate, and polluted offsprings, taught in tne same scnoois auu assuuaicu with them ia numerous other ways is a thing which these men have set their foot down on occe and for all. On the other hand the Mormons claim that they harm no one and see no reason why they should be molested. The majority sympathize with ihe white camps; not in the principle which governs law and order, but in the extermination of what will become a most serious affliction to the com UiUUliV. The'Mormons can bring for.h some pleos in behalf of their conduct which sound very plausible but are misleading. "We have been told since writing something in regard to the visit paid Mrs. Sharpe that the history of her character does not savor of the most delightful facts. Two officers in the church of which she claimed to be a member informed the writer that she had been turned out long .since for obvious reasons. Mrs. Sharpe, it will be remembered, stated that she was a member "in good and regular standing," while such is not the case at all. Matters are very complicated but it is quite reasonable to suppose that there will at some future day be a winding up of the affair. "And finally justice triumphs." The question now in the minds of the p -ople is, wili the grand jury throw out th.s case? The popular idea is that it will. There are five or six more on docket. Messs.

Some two or three years ago some Mormon elders cime through this country and began preaching at the citizjns' houses, and staying a day or two athe s une place. Some of the b -si! cit'zens of the different neighborhoods, which they visited and preached in. went to hear them. After paving strict attention to their preaching, it wa9 found they were preaching false doctrines. The following are some: 1. That we were heathens; that our ministers did not preach the true gospel; that we did not have the true I gospel and would not have until we crot the Book of Mormons handed dowu by Joe Smith, the founder of Mormonism. Do you know anything of the history of Smith, who he was, his character? If not, please find out before you go any further wiiti the Mormons. and you wH readily dccide that you are following one of the very lowest of human characters. 2 Tiiev nreach from this n.is-age: I Cor. 15:29: "What shall tbey clo which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all," which they interpret in this manner: That if any one rites unprepared, thai a member of the family may be baptized for their for- [ - - " "i j i. - jz nyu~ > giveness ana uiev win uu ssvuu. xut; writer is no preacher, but he construes it in this wire: That Christ died to save sinners, and we are commanded i to follow Ilim, iliercfore we must be j baptized in Ilis name and for Ilim J though lie be dead. 3. TIil, it is against the teachings of. the Bible to pay ministers anything for preaching. 4 They do not preach polygamy j here for they know it would not do, | but the world kuows they practice it.! In this ihey have broken one of (he! commandments. I d;:i'c consider j polygamy anything more or loss than | onon adulterv. "Thou shall not com mit adnltery." After hearing1 these things preache.l by the Mormons, they considered thev i did not want such doctrines ins il;ul j in their children, ami it ws? creating j strife in the CIjuich. The elders were asked by ieticr to ' pass on, that their services were not needed in this country.
