The Seneca Pharmacy, ?Fatally" Shot, Negro Lives. Hattiesburg, Miss., August 17.-After receiving one bullet straight through the heart and another entirely through the head, Charles Williams, a negro, of this oity, has survived for three days and will probably recover. The wounds were inllioted by a 88 oalibre revolver, fired at short range. Williams fell over as if de?d. The un dertaker was telephoned for, hut a sur geon had arrived in tho meantime, and when tho undertaker's wagon arrived tho wounded negro was able to Blt up. Since then ho has been eating heartily, and the physicians venture the opinion that he will recover if no oomplioations arise. mom Rural Schools CroSs ol Honor. Too Much to Pay for Cattle. Hon.

Tho reoent purohase of nine head of .Tersoy cattle for $1,800 for the Clemson College farm has caused a good deal of comment. The oattle were purchased from J. A. Shankliu, of Pendleton. Some of the other oattle raisers seem to think that they were not given' exactly square deal. They do not charge the committee that made the purohase of any wrong-doing, but they say the com mittee did not look far enough. Thoy say that if the committee had looked around it could have found just as One cattle as that bought from Mr. Shanklin at a muoh lowet price. In short, they olatm that the oommittee did not use propor care and business judgment in expending the money. They olaim that $1,800 is a powerful high price to pay for nine head of Jersey oattle. The oommittee consisted of Prof. Harper, the director of the experiment station, Col. M. L. Donaldson, of Green ville, and J. C. Strlbling, of Pendleton. These are good business men, and, of course, they are prepared, no doubt, to justify their action, but there is, never theless, a great deal of oritioism going on of the oharge outlined.-Anderson Mail.

Long Frisnd Pays Tribute to an Old Abbeville Boy. Editor of Presa and Banner: Having noted tbe announcement that Major L. W. Haskell will be a candidato for the office of Adjutant and Inspector General and feeling the kindliest Interest in him, I desire tbrougli your paper to say a word in bis behalf. Mr. Haskell is by education specially qualified for the office wbiob be seeks, having graduated as Captain from the Citadel, in 1880. He is a son of Mr. Langdon C. Haskell, whose home was in Abbeville county, from which plaoe he volunteered in the Confederate service. Major Haskell spent the earlier days of his career iu Georgia. He was there during the stir ring days of faotlonal fight in South Ca rolina and he has had no faotlonal affilia tions. He bas served his State for four years as legislutor, where he is knowo by all his associates as a prince of good fel lows. His pleudid work as a legislator and hi? eminent fitness for military ser vice specially recommended him to Gen. Frost, the present Adjutant and Inspec tor General who appointed him assistant. Having served as assistant moat satis factorily and his chief declining another nomination. Mr. Haskell naturally de sires and deserves promotion. Mr. Haskell is a brother of Mr. Chevis Haskell of this oity. Like mos i of the men who are offered to public service by old Abbeville, he is qualified in every particular. It is a pleasure to support a mao so courteous and agreeable and withal So faithful in the discharge of duty. R. Sondly. The ?nd of tho World of troubles thal robbed E. H.
