His mammoth establish ment can very appropriately be likened unto an immense bee hive where his large force of employees are kept constantly busy waiting upon the great number of people who daily throng their to obtain the benefit of the unprecedented bargains for which he has become famous, not only in Columbia, but throughout the whole State. Mr. Mimnaugb, beC sides being the largest merchant in the State, is the heaviest tax payer in our beautiful capital city, representing the fruits of his untiring business enterprise and indomitable pluck which he has accumulated by his own industry and business sagacity. Being successful himself, he has a fellow feeling to see others prosper, and he is giving them an opportunity of doing so by saving them big money when purchasing goods in his line. * He has made the wants of the people his study, and with a reliable and competent buyer in the Northern markets, with plenty of ready cash who is always ou the lookout for bargains, Mr. Mimuaugh is always prepared to give great values in all his departments. His stocks are simply immense and the quality of his goods are first class while his prices are always the lowest. * Friends, remember we will be with the Supervisors of Registration on their rounds through the county. Think of us before you leave home * and have your subscription money ready. Every dollar helps. 2. ' ] Gone On a Sorrowful Mission. Rev. J. G. Graichen was called t< the bedside of his father la3t week Ee, Mrs. Graichen aDd Eamestint left for "Winchester, Va., Friday. Upor their ariival at that place we trus! that they found the r be'uved sick greatly improved. Since the above was put in type , we have received the fo lowing letter: Winchester Va., June 13, 1896. Mr. G. M. Harman, Lexington, S. C, Dear Sir: Please be so kind as tc state in the Dispatch that F. August Graichen, the father of Rsv. J. G. Graichen, died at his residence, in Winchester, Virginia, on Saturday B the 13th inst., at 10:30 a. in. Pastor s Graichen did not arrive in time to see 3 his father before he died. The cause ^ )[ his father's death was congestion 5 of the lungs. The attack was very ' -udden, and his illness continuing a few days. Very sincerely, yours J. G. Graicbeu. * L Narrow Escapa from Lynching. a # Sometime ago a white man named L. K. Bolden, claiming to be a de tective, was engaged in working up evidence against the parties who O f O kl no A f ATr SM.T niorlr sjUi IJUU iuc oiauito Vi ^Uki Ky*v4 v V/4W? ?) * at Chapia. He was assisted in his work by a mulatto. They arrested 1 Neal and "NViss BrowD, colored, and \I". Jacob R. Bouknight, white, and implicated Mr. Joe WessiDger in the 1 crime. The trial of ihese men de veloped the fact that there was not even the shadow of evidence to connect the parties with the burning. The evidence of Bolden showed that he was an unmitigated liar, andbotb the Judge and Solicitor became disgusted and discharged the white men. By order of the Judge, the Solicitor ordered the town marshal to arrest him, in the absence of the M igistrate, until a warrant for perjury could be sworn out. There was great excitement in town for a while. The friends of Bouknight were indignant at the treatment he received while under arrest, beiEg compelled to walk from Chapia to this place and were loud in their denunciation of Bolden, and threats : were openly made of taking him from ! the guard house and lynching him. | At one time it looked gloomly for the prisoner, but trouble was finally averted by placing him in jail for safe keeping. He was released Fri day by signing an agreement to leave the State and never return. # A Well Known Educator. Among the many applicants for Principal of the Palmetto Institute, we learn that Mr. W. D. Schoenberg is one. It is to the interest of the patrons of the school to obtain the best material to carry on the good I work which has been begun, and without saying anything derogatory to the interest of the other applicants, but in recognition of the merits, ability and effciency of one whom we have seen tried and has been successful, we earnestly hope that Mr. Schoenberg will be selected. He is a gentleman of high scholarly attainments, has made the profession of teaching a life's study and is well j qualified in every respect to make a ! grand and glorious success of the j Institute. Being a gentleman widly ! known throughout this and adjoin! ing counties as a teacher of merit, he will induce a number of pupils from abroad to enter the Institute as he I did before. OBirum. Mrs. Jane E. Kaminer, departed I this life June the 4th, 1896, at the ' advanced age of 72 years. She joined | the church iu early life, and was a member of St. John's Evangelical 1 Lutheran church, of which she was a consistent m.ember and devoted I Christian. She was the mother of nine children, nineteen grand chil; dren and twelve great grand chil| dren. She selected her own funeral text from Psalms 122, 1st verse. | We buried her in the family cem; eterv to await resurrection morn. W. D. Q. MY BOY HAS GONE HOME. Shelton Mitchell Hayes, was born j March 15th, 1857 and died an humble Christian of the Baptist church, Judo the 11th, 1896, making his earthly pilgrimage thirty-nine years, two months and twenty-six days. Before his death he told his deI voted frieod and spiritual advisor, the Rev. Pope Norris, that his way i was clear, he had no fears and was going to meet his God in whom he had so fully trusted. He leaves a j wife, an aged father and mother, and e t ii j e j. l _ j lour oromers auu iour bisieis, uuu a number of relatives and friends who j mourn, but not as those who have no i hope.

The case against Neal Brown and Wist Brown, his son, charged with burning the barn and stables of S. J. Clark, at Chapin, was the last case tried on Wednesday. The verdict was "not guilty." The detective, L. K. Bolden, who pretended to woik up this case failed to prove anything, and was arrested by order of the judge and jailed just after the trial, was released on Friday with the understanding that he was to leave the State. The case set for trial on Thursday was against John H. Huiet, for beach of trust, but on account of the absence of witness, was continued over. Horace Tobias and Scott Davis, charged with burning the gin house of Mr. J. C. Hope, were acquitted. These defendants were represented by J. Brook8 Wingard, Esq. This was the last jury case tried. Mr. John McMaster, representing Henry Sheppard, who was convicted and sentenced in two cases, was granted a new trial in each case, the Solicitor consenting. Only one prisoner, Eddy Holmes, was carried to the penitentiary. The others, except those taking appeals to tho Supreme Court, paid their fines. The Clerk has received and turned over to the Treasurer about *275.00 this term, which will greatly lessen the heavy expenses of the term.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The citizens of the neighborhood lying east of this place were horrified and shocked on Sunday morniDg about 3 or 4 o'clock, by the burning of a barn, in which was sleeping John Jones, a 23 year-old son of Tom Jones, who is a respectable colored man and successful farmer. The barn with all contents, consisting of corn and fodder, three pair harness and some fertilizers were wholly consumed, and the son, John Jones, burned to death. The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary, as tracks were seen l/aarlinrr in anrl frnm tllflt llfirtl. fc\/ uuv* An inquest was held here today and the jury rendered the verdict 'That John Jones come to his death by being burned with fire on Sunday morning, June 14th, while asleep in the barn of his f .ther, Tom Jones. Said barn having been set by parties unknown to the jury." Suspicion rests very heavily upon certain parties as the guilty ones, and no doubt they will be brought to justice. The boy looked a good deal puzzled and was silent for such a long time as to attract his mother's attention. ' "'i -? " >> CHv are yuu lutumug nuuui; old inquired.
