Col. D. T. Sure Passes Away.
Lexington County is again called
upon to mourn the death of one of
' her. oldest and mo9t highly respected
; citizens. Col. D. T. Barre, after an
illness extending over many months,
died peacefully at his home, at Gilbert,
late Saturday afternoon.Col.
Barre was a brave Confederate
soldier, having joined the . army at
the beginning of the war, and remaining
in service until the close of the
I. strife. He was a member of Company
F, Palmetto Sharpshooters, Jenkins's
L brigade. He was wounded in one of
the battles, from which h$ never finally
recovered.
In early life he married Mis9 Rawl,
|g daughter of the late Samuel Rawl,
j who, with four daughters 'and one
a son, survive* Three sons preceded
himttO'tJ& ^One of these, Olin,
met a most tragic death in the city of
g Columbia many years ago, when Tillman
and the late Gee. Wade Hampton
met on the fair grounds. Young
Barre was helping to manipulate a
, cannon for the purpose of having a
sham battle, when the bum exploded,
killing Barre instantly and .wounaing
another young man by the name of
Stork.
The surviving children are: Mrs.
lSdwin Barre, of Laurens; Mrs. Char
= lie Livingston, of near Gilbert; Mrs.
I James, of lower Richland; Miss Gassie
Barre, of Gilbert, and Mr. R. A.
Barre, of Gilbert.
Col. Barre was a lifelong member
of the Methodist church and was active
in church affairs. While he
never held public office, Col. Barre
took a prominent part in all questions
pertaining to the betterment of his
county and State, and his advice was
often sought.
His remains were laid to rest Sunday
afternoon at 5 o'clock at Shiloh
church, with impressive funeral services
by his pastor, the Rev. Mr.
Felder, in the presence of a large congregation,
composed of hi3 war comrades,
relatives and friends.
The deceased was about 83 years of
i age.

arms.
Mrs. Handzel had been ill for some
time. She left four other children
ranging in age from 6 to 16 years.
Negro Hanged. At Georgetown.
Georgetown, August 13.?Alfred Jen
kins, the negro boy, who wa9 convicted
of attempted rape and who has
since confessed fully as to his guilt,
was hanged to-day at 9.30 o'clock A.
iU.
Life was pronounced extinct in sixteen
minutes. The execution passed
off promptly without a hitch. There
were about 200 witnesses. The crime
was attempted upon the person of a
lady school teacher on the Lower'
Waccamaw River, on the 17th of June
last. A special term of Court was
heid on July 27, Judge John S. Wilson
presiding, and Jenkins was sentenced
to be hanged on August 13. Thns the
crime has been expiated on the gallows,
the law fully vindicated and the
citizenship of Conway, the home of the
teacher, and of Georgetown, remains
without the awful blot of a lynching,
which at one time seemed imminent.

Negro Uses Pistol Freely.
Nashville, Tenn, August 15.?Tom
Harding, a negro, to-day fatally wounded
his wife, Mary, shot in the leg Policeman
Marshall, who tried to arrest
him, and later shot himself in the
head, but will probably recover,
Previously he fired at another negrc
whom he charged with alienating his
wife's affections. After wounding the
policeman, Harding led his pursuers a
long chase, finally dropping from exhaustion
and then attempting his owe
life.
