The Quattletaum Estate. It was the editor's privilege to meet Col. C. P. Quattlebaum, of Conway, on the train last week. The Colonel ^ was returning to his home from Leesville, where he had been for the purpose of dividing the personal prop OfllY U1 11X9 JUUWC1 9 CSWklC, 41119< Sarah Quattlebaum, who bequeathed certain articles of furniture, silverware, etc., to her surviving children, and it was a very sad mission indeed. All of the children were present and the personal property was all amicably divided, each of the children securing something in which to remember their sainted mother by and to hand down to generation aftei generation. It is very probable that the real estate, wnich consists of the old homestead, at one time, one of the handsomest country homes in the county, will be sold and perhaps go cut of the family. Gen. Paul Quattlebaum was one of the foremost men of his time and his home was alwaye open to his friends.

Miller opened the large door entering the cell to lock one of the prisoners up for the night he was attacked by two negroes, Abram Jones and George Baxter, and for several minutes a desperate struggle ensued. The negroes seized Mr. Miller, one from the side and the other from behind, and tried to secure the keys. Mr. Miller drew his pistol, but no sooner had he done so, than one of the negroes grabbed it, thus preventing Mr. Miller from shooting his assailants. ? - -i 3 Mrs. Miller, hearing ner nuBDana fighting in the room, began to scream and soon a crowd had gathered about the jail. With superhuman strength, Mr. Miller managed to get a lick at one of the negroes, and he struck with such force that the negro was knocked across the room, and he gave up. The other held on, however, and it was some moments before the deputy could extricate himself. Finally the negro, seeing that Mr. Miller was getting the be9fe of him, gave up ana beggea not to be shot. He made a dash for his cell, and on account of , the darknes, Mr. Miller was unable to get a shot. When Mr. Miller entered the cell he had a lamp in one had, but the negroes knocked it out of his hand, and the scuffle was all in the dark. There is not a braver man in the State than Sim J. Miller and the nerve he displaved on Sunday night no doubt i saved his life and prevented the escape of several prisoners. The men afterwards confessed they had planned to assault the jailer, secure the keys and escape. All praise to Lexington's brave deputy. ???? ^ * ? a, Millinery upening a? ja&vi ?. Last Thursday and Friday the ladies of the town and surrounding section visited the big store of W. P. Roof, to see the new styles in millinery.
