WHITE MAN GIVEN WIIIIU'ING.
Anderson, Nov. 11.?Quince
uocDran, u white man, was taken
from bis home at Donoaid8 a few
nights ago and given a severe
whipping by unknown parties.
Cochran was not seriously hurt,
but has left home. The cause of
the alleged whitecappmg is said
to have been that Cochran had
not been acting the part of a loving
husband and father to his
family, and the general impression
is that somo of the best people
of the community were engaged
in it.
COLLAPSE OF A IIARN.
Anderson, Hov. 11.?Mr. John
C. Pruitt of Savannah township
suffered a heavy loss through a
peculiar accident last night. Mr.
Pruitt is fattening cattle lor shipment
to other ^points, and had a
number of cows stabled in his
barn. Kecently he stored a quantity
of forage in the upper story
ofv the building, and last night the
structure collapsed, burying a
Dumber of cows in the ruins.
Four were killed outright and
several others were injured so
badly they will have to be killed.
The weight of the forage caused
the barn to fall.
PUNISHING LAWLESS IN OUONEK.

from Columbia and carried Alf
Cohen and Malissie Lovo back

was convicted in court last week
for adultery. Her partner was a
negro and will assist in making

It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphiteS
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children because
it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
- For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
- is the most satisfactory treatment.

EDOEKIKLD INCENDIARY OVERTAKEN
BY SHOT.
Johnston, Nov. 11.?A tele
phono message from Edgefield is
to the effeit that another attempt
at incendiary was made there tonight
and one of the firebugs was
severely shot and then captured.
Two others escaped, but one is
thought to be wounded and a party
of several armed citizens have
started in pursuit of the scoundrels.
The report indicates that the
incendiaries attempted to fire an
unoccupied building but were
caught in the act before accomplishing
this fiendish purpose.
They were negroes. If caught
their trials will probably bo outside
the court house.
TO PREVENT LYNCHING.
Richard Bostick, one of the negroes
who attempted to fire a
house in Edgefield on Tuesday
night and who was captured by a
sheriff1 a posse, was brought to
the penitontiary last night in o_rder
to avoid a lynching. Bostick
was badly wounded in the thigh
by a pistol ball and is in a serious
condition.?The State, 13th inst.
FIKE11UU8 AT WORK IN CAMDEN.
, 'Camden, Nov. 10.?At 7.45
this evening the hre bell again
sounded and an excited cro.vd
followed the reej^irt as it dashed
up Broad street and stopped ih
front of the office of the "Camden
Chronicle." No fire was visible
from the street and it was as*
certuined that the blaze had been
extinguished. There is no doubt
that tho tire was incendiary. It
was sot against the east corner of
Tho Chronicle building, in the
yard buck of that structure and
there is a very perceptible odor of
keroseno on the weather-boarding
where the fire was discovered.
The yard is surrounded by a high
fence, and The Chroniale building
is a long wooden structure^
which would have been an easy
prey of the flames,
Mr. Joel Hough who lives about
fifty yards further up the street
was walking down the street with
his little daughter, when the child

* could only have been started a few
minutes before that. Mr. Hough
ran back to his bouse and .got a
bucket of water, at the same time
giving the alarm. Ilad it not
been for the timely discovery oi
the blaze $7,000'or $8,000 of .pro
perty would probably have been
destroyed.
Practically without fire protec.
tion as Camden now is, these recent
acts of incendiarism are all
the graver, and the fiend who perpetrates
these is as yet undiscovered.

Spartanburg, Noy. 12. ? Chief

$50 was offered for Ramay's recapture.

New York, Nov. 11.?Roland
B Moliueux was set at liberty today
after spending nearly four
years in prison and being once
eondenincd to death and twico
placed on trial for his life for the
murder of Mrs. Katharine J.
Adams.
But 13 minutes sufficed for the
jury to roach a verdict of acquittal
at the close of a trial that has
lasted four weeks, flic first trial,
which resulted in Molineux's con
viction and sentence having been
/ O
prolonged for about three months.
The verdict, which was confidently
anticipated, was greeted
with an instantly suppressed outbreak
of applause, Justice Lambert
having delivered a stern admonition
that no demonstration would

Moliucux, who was brought into
court us soon as it was known
that the jury had agreed, was apparently
as unconcerned as he has
beeu throughout the trial and
gave no evidence of emotion when
the words that established his iunocenco
were pronounced.

Interesting Happenings At The
JStato Capital.
Special to Greenvillo News.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 11.?
The governor has received letters
from the auditors of Barnwell,
Greenville and "Cherokee counties
asking that lie extend the time for
paying taxes. Auditor llicks
says that the treasurer's blanks
were printed and distributed before
the present act was effective,
and there are no blunks provided
for entering one per cent penalty
after January 1st, one per cent
| after February 1st, and 5 per
| cent after March 1st, as provided
by law. He suggests that the
time bo extended until March
1st, and then add a lump penalty
of 7 per cent. Other auditors
make similar statements.
Governor McSweeney admits
there may be something in this,
but says it is not a sufficient cause
for extending the time, and ho
will not do so.
Governor-elect Hevward sent
in hia resignation today as captain
of Company F. State Mili

A pardon has been refused Abo
Parker of Cherokee, convicted
last June of murder and sentenc1
