Tronton, July 24.?Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock a supposed tramp was shot by Mr. M. W. Hudgens, who lives about six miles south of here near Eureka. Some time during the afternoon possibly nhout 4 o'clock, a man came to Hudgens' house where there was no one exeept his wife and little children. He asked Mrs. Hudgens where the old man was and she replied that he was in the orchard getting some peaches. The man went to the orchard and, not finding Hudgens there, came back, and it is said, called Mrs. Hudgens a liar, and demanded something to eat. Mrs. Hudgens fled with her children to a neigh bor's house about half a mile distant and asked him to go for her husband who wns nt ff.iimlru On the way home Hudgens borrowed a gun from a neighbor, when he reached the bouse the man was still there. Hudgons asked what he was doing and he began to get back in the bouse at tne same time, it is claimed, putting bis hand behind him as if to draw & pistol. Hudgens fired, the load taking ofiect in the stranger's right leg. As bo turned Hudgens fired again striking him in the small part of the back. He staggered back further in the house and fell. Hudgens and one person, the only eye witness, then took him to Eureka and went to Trenton for the doctor and wired Sheriff Alderman at Aiken to como for the i ~ -j nuuuucu lumi. The man is of average size and is shabbily dressed. He has the appearance of being about 25 years of age. At first ho told that he was from Florida and was going to his relatives in Qeorgie and afterwards he was going to North Carolina. He refuses to tell his name. He is still alive this morning and the doctor thinks he will pull through. Hudgens it a respectable young farmer, having moved here from Laurens last yoar. No one blames him for shooting under the circumstances. NO PITY SHOWN "For years fate was after mo continuously" writes F. A. Gulledge, Verbena, Ala.

Yesterday evening Gov. Ileyward's office received the report of Solicitor Iiildohrand on the matter of the alleged "lynching" at Eutawville. Mr. Hildebraiul mentions no uames. but it i* nln.111 ' - ? I from hit statement thai he has information sufficient to proceed upon at the proper tiuio. Onco again "lynchers" are to tie prosecuteJ in Seuth Carolina. The solicitor's report elo.4es as follows: The testimony bus been pubi lished mostly intho newspapers, to-wit: The State and The Njws and Courier, but of course yon , must understand that that testimony does not represent one tenth of what was said or done; and, indeed, we did not desire that all the testimony should be reduced to writiug or published, because 1 some of the detail* were too horrible to appear in the columns of any respectable newspaper. 1 think it is hard! v nocesai.rr Lhat i should rehearse to you the testimony, after its publication, as already stated, although the testimony of all the witnesses has not been published. I will say hero ? that I ha' e the able assistance of ' Messrs. Rayeor & Summers, a law firm of Orangoburg, than whom I know of no more able ! counsel, and we are satisfied: 1 think the acting coroner is satis1 tiod, and indeed I think every citizen who heard the testimony is satisfied as to the personnel of the guilty parties. We think the porpetrntors of this crime numbered not exceeding six. All of the witnesses who offered their names were carefully examined and eyerything was done that would shed light upon tho transaction, so far as 1 could see. The coroner's jury seemed to be composed of a lot of conscientious and upright men, williog to ascertain the truth, and were williner ta make a presentment as to certain parties; but after advice and consultation, it was decidod ' to leave the finding of the verdict open untill some future day, upon additional testimony, for the 1 reason that wo want no innocent ' man punished and no guilty man to escape. I will say hore, that so far as I eould ascertain, public sentiment in the community rer gardsit as a most heinous offense, 3 and one that certainly ought to be ' met with the most condign punish\ ment. The goad people are out3 spoken in their denunciation, and 1 I am sure they will leod my asso 6 ciates every possible aid in fer? reting out and bringing to justice these culprits.
