In the history of s our Stale, has it ever before Tiappened that the ht. Governor became Governor because j of the death of the Governor? I In the News and Courier of the !)th lust. { is the following from her Abbeville corre- " j spondent:" "The negro Logan, who was shot T if by Mr. West Harper has died." That is a -I e great mistake, and in order to correct any b; j other errors that may have gone abroad in ui j regard to the affair an account is hereby given 0 in justice to Mr. Harper. Two weeks ago tort day, he went out to his place a few miles from e here to look alter hts business as he often did. s In going over the farm he passed near Jim 0 Logan's house and found Jim's wife not at . work. He said something to her about It | , and Jim who was near by came up, went into g > the house, got his pistol, came to the door ' ,i_l? ?<> *? u. i4 i una oruerea nir. nurpci uu. no mi. iimpci ^ I was not expecting any difficulty, wan not pre- g y I pared for one. Mr. Harper thought best to " r | prepare for an emergency, went to a uelgh' | born and got a double barrel shot gun, and [sometime afterwards was walking over the j larm and in passing through a pleceof woods, e ! was fired upon from ambush, but ho did not : know who until both barrels of a double bar. ! rel shot gun were emptied at him and three II j chambers of a pistol. These five shots were | as rapid as they could be made. A few of I I the shot only striking iMr. Harper. He then '* { saw Logan in the bushes and briars some JM distance otT. Mr. Harper thought It about '! time for hira in self-detence. to take a hand. ?! He tired both barrels ot his gun. At the s I second shot Logan fell. Mr. Harper Rent for a m ! wagon aud had Logan carried to his house, r came to this place, got l)r. A. H. Mathews and ' took him back to see Logan. He pronounced | him pretty badly, but not seriously wounded. e Since then till about the first of last week the' Doctor attended him regularly aud discharged the case.
