I Bears the __jJ YoiJ llaw *lwa),s Bougflt ] 'atal Shooting Scrape in Chester. \ Drunken Negro Attempts to Shoot White Man Who Fires Bullet into His Hand Special to The State. Chester, Aug. 30.?Last night shout. It) o'clock a sharp report from a pistol revealed the fact that there whs trouble in Hey man's quarter, between the Caro lina nn<l Northwestern railway depot and the Springstein mills. It seems that when Mr. O L Potts was going through the quarter on his way to his brother's house on factory hill, he came upon t wo persons about the piazza of the mill office, to whom, supposing they weie boys, he addressed some remarks and was cursed in response bv a negro man. Ila then saw that the other was a woman and passed on without further words. As he came back through the quarter he mat the same persons and the man under the influence of whiskey cursed and again and accused Mr. Potts of following him. At the same lime the negro drew a pistol and snapped at him. Mr. Potts immediately opened fire and shot twice, the last ball taking effect in the head, and causing the negro to fall to the ground. Policeman .Johnson, who lives near this neighborhood was soon on til* scene, as were a small size crowd of boys and 111011. Upon examination it was found that the negio was Will Stevenson, a carriage driver about town. Mr. Potts surrendered himself to the sheriff and is now in jail. Stevens*.n was taken to his home, where he lingers Ht the point of death. Was Called to His Gate and Shot in The Dark. Special to The State. Fair Bluff, N C., Sept. 1. ? At Cherrv Grove, N. C., within one mile of the South Carolina State line, Felix Foley was last night ahot and killed At about moon rise some one hailed at his gate, a short distance from the bouse. Foley went out, and when about 20 steps from the gate, the party standing thero tired, hitting him in the left breast with a load of buckshot, causing instant death. Foley was an industrious, quiet young man, raised in Horrv county, within three miles of where he was killed. He leaves a widow and two or more children. Caught a Thief. A few nights ago, Mr. Sidney liobinson, of Edgmoor, had some wheat stolen out of the house where it was kept. The next night he watched and caught a thief stealing his chickens. He could have killed him but intentionally shot clear of him. The negro dropped the chickens and other things that led to his identi*ticution and lied for life. He wai sentenced by Judge Reid to 30 days on the gang. He acknowledged his guilt. He said he didn't know that it was a gun that tired; he thought he had stepped on a stick of dynamite, Chester I intern.

George Johnstone the past master in the art of satire and ridicule and irony was done up in a knot by Senator McLaurin. That's what happened hero' today, and the school of summer, swallows are fluttering around in dismay and consternation. . Senator MeLaurin's sudden and unexpected appeal alien here was the finest coup executed in Slate politics in many a day. Having oeen informed that the Tillmanite svekes of his senatorial seat were making capital out1 of his Absence Senator McLaurin determined to be present at the Anueison meeting at any cost. A telegram caught him just as he was leaving New York I?y hoat lor Norfolk and by hiring a spe. cial train from Seneca he arrived here at two o'clock. Less than ten men knew it and although very tired with the journey which included eighteen hours of seasickness ho waded into the crowd with gloves oil' stated his case and ! won fullv seyenty-fivc per cent, j of the meeting which was estinia ted at from six t?.? seven hundred. No special courtesy was shown him as ho was told to open with an hour to be followed by Johnstone with the reply for McLnn. rin. In less than 20 minutes after his arrival he was speaking.? Col. JohnHtone was evidently at his best and made a splendid speech. Commanding all his power of ! sarcasm he tried to hold up the , Senator as a forerunner of Repub! licanism and appealed in turn to : tne old war spirit partisanship, and | patriotism. He was f**eely api plauded principally by men who will vote for Latimer. He buried his old anti-tollman hatchet which formerly be had with a keen edge and placed Tillman along with such | men as Calhoun, Hayne, Hampton and even Thomas Jefferson.? His placing of Tillman in the same 1 niche of fame as these was receivj ed with great surprise by many j here and serves to indicate what strange bedfellows politics makes. It rather emphasizes the belief that each of the aspirants for Senatorial honors is bidding for the support of the Boss. He attacked j McLaurin on his vote on the treaj ty, on his views on expansion, ; ship subsidy, and Federal patronage with all his power of ridicule and sarcasm. Replying Senator McLaurin caught the crowd in a minute by mixing his most eloquent appeal with an old worn out coon story. Turning on Johnstone he scored him unmercifully, refuted his arguments and in less than ten minutes it was a McLaurin crowd to the finish. He stated his reason ! for his vote on the treaty and the | crowd endorsed him. He told why he favored expansion and got another endorsement Then he told them what he knew f the merits of the ship subsidy matter and got another endorse* meet. In a clear and lucid way he told them how he came to recommond democrats for federal appointments. He had, he said, recommended democrats where they could ho appointed and when there was no chance for a demo* crat to work for tha republican applicant that weulri he most acceptable to the patrons to be served. That also suited the crowd I nlid he another endorsement ; fully 75 per cent of the crowd were made McLaurin men. Over half of the crowd were fanners and went away enthusiastic fnl* lowers ??f Mi Laurin. The crushing machine found i?-; fatal defeat hern todav. Mc'.hoHu ?x<?t in on the I'.oys and the crowd which resolved at (ireenville that they had fu11 \ crushed the Senator, find themselves completely busted at their own jjame. Politicians here uj*reo that neither .Johnstone nor Hemphill h ive :i ^hnst of a chance ami that the ruee is between MoLtiurin anil Latimer with the full Tillman brand on the latter; anil that all the p!u\'ing of t ho others far this is futile. I'here were no personalities between Johnstone am' MeLaurin anil while the tie hate was keen anil most moreile-s it, was on a hi^h plane. It. was a battle of masters anil the keen bursts of satire ami rhheule was one of the finest exhibitions ever witnessed in many days on the stump in this State. MeLaurin parried every thrust of his opponent. and turned his keen olade without mercy on his antagonist. When it was all over every body was dazed and wondered how it happened, ev?:n Johnstone who look it good naluredly was lost. Latimer and his vituperation was completely lost sight of as he spoke very early this morning before the arrival of Senator McLaurin. Latimer's speech was along the line of his previous efforts but in a much milder form. Senator McLuurin sinipl; ignored childishness an4 hi^ course was ! commended. The crowd here was strictly a home crowd Inquiry show* one man from Oconee and Spartanburg and three from Greenville including this correspondent. This statement is made because it is rumored here tonight that an attempt was made to dis. count the great victory for MeCaurin here today by saying that a McLuurin crowd was brought here. This is absolutely untrue. This is a McLxuriti town tonight and the city band here serenaded him.
