COLU3InA, S. C. Sept. 2Z.--The death of W. W. McTeer, sheriff of Hampton, S which was announced yesterday, re- b, lieves Governor Tillman of an unpleas- C( ant duty-the ordering of his prosecu- m tion in the court for wilful negligence cl in allowing the escape of a prisoner n who was under arrest in this State for 1 assault and battery, and for whom a ki requisition from Governor Fleming of IV Florida, had been honored, but his sur. render delayed until he had been tried in our courts. The goyzvner feels the public welfar '-is duty as execu tiv the publication of the y1 .a and correspondence in the case. On June 23 Governor Fleming sent a W requisition to the executive oflice for i one Sam .Jenkins. who was under indict- tj ment in IlamVton county for the crime tj of murder. 'Tho requisition was duly honored, and Sheriff McTeer ordered to surrender the fugitive. In reply the governor received the following letter from Sheriff McTeer: A IIAMPTON. June 29, 1891. 11is Excellency, etc.: DEAR SiR-Your authority to deliver C Sam Jenkins to Mr. E. T. Williams k under requisition from the Governor of n Florida, is just received, and in reply, will state that Sam Jenkins is now in my cust.ody for a very grave offense against the laws of the state of South Carolina. The offense is assault and battery with intent to kill, lie having 'T shot and seriously injured one J. A. Youmans, of this county, on the 8th of it the present month at fIlam pton C. 11. (, Sam .1enkins was also desperately :tj wounded in the encounter, and is still w in a very critical condit.ion. Should lie hl survive, must I turn him over to F. 'T. sf Williams or waitt itil he and Youmnans n, have answered to the state of South al Carolina for the serious charges against il them ? ,ienkins is under guard, but is el not able to be taken to jail. Please in- p form me how I shall act in the prem- (. ises. Some are imipressed with the con- b viction that Jenkins should be slirren dered that lie may be taken to Florida as soon as he is able to be moved; oth ers think that I should retain him in g, custody to be delivered to the authori- w ties of the state of Florida, after lie has p answered to the state of South Caroli- n na. I deaire to do imy full (ity in the s matter, and only beg to be informed of t Iat (ylit)' under existing circe instances. n Very respectfully, ii W. W.

In the meantime notify. (lovernor Fleming of this, so he can be ready to send for him when we got through with him. Yours respectfully, t it. It. Ti1.31A.. The governor also informed (over- N nor Fleming of his action as thus set forth. On July 10, wihile at Spartan- 5 burg, Goyernor Tillman received in- a f ormation from ai gent lemain who lives t in I Iampton county ti..it is was teared j .Jenkins would try to give bail for his offenise comamit ted here, and then give( leg ball1 to thie Florida retfiiisition for feitling his bond(. or that failing, that he would certainly manase to escape by some means or other. Th'fe gov'ernior at once telegraphed( the Shieri ff of' H ampi ton inot to permit Jenikins to give bail, y andf keep close watch over hfim. A fler this I le fol1lowinge corrspondencei took place Ills Excellency, Eltc. )EAmR Sin --in fulli reply to your tele graim receivedl yesterday, I will state, a 1 that I placedi ,Jenkins and Yiouimans 'I biothi inmder guards i mmediautely after s, the occurrence in acuordlance wvith in- a structionis of Solicitor W. I'. Murphy. p T he I bfysiclans attending Jeiikins ini lornm me that in his p)resent condhition C it would be impossible t.o move him a1 without great risk. What shall I (do tJ unmder the circumstances ?~ I have is furnished the guardh, and footed the bill a ever since the occurrence. The county t] commissioners refuse ;to audit claim, ri aind I expect to have trouble with them. k 'The dl fliculty between You mans and o Jenkins has created considerable excite- fi meat and no little til feeling on both h sidles. 1'huis I am exposed to ire from ti both panties, hut I care nothing for it o and will perform my diuty in the prem- b lses, and all I ask is to be informed v what that dutty is. I have mnever sup- b l)osed that ,Jenkins could give bail, ex- a cepit for thme Youmans dithiculty. TIhe fi Florida affair would still lbe against a him, tor which I should certainly holdg him in custody until the matter wvas i decided by judicial authority. It is i~ seven miles to Brunson, where ,Jenkins tl is confined1 to his room. I have, as5 1 stated, guard over him; don't think I can move him against tihe protest or his physicians, and amt at a loss to unm- hb derstand in wvhat way your informant c (who is personally interested, though lie c may (deny It) would have me1 imultiply k pirecaut ions,. Jenkins shall not escape if I cana avoid. Buti I see no way to make tihe c matter more safe except perhaps to In- 0 crease the guard, and if' this must be 0 doiie at my own expense, I muist be n satisfied of its necessity. If you wvull LI kindly Inform me what to dho I. will 0 be very greatly obliged. Very respect-a fully,h W.W. McTum.:n, r Sheriff. o Cotv mur4A, July 25, 1891. WV. W. McTIeer, Esq., I amnpton,S.C. 'Li i)EAiR Silt: Your letter of yesterday was receivedl. I have reason to feara that Jenk14s who is a dhesperate man will escape, and should be lodged inC jail as soon as8 practicable, If the phy- n sichiais is not perfectly dIsinterested b) and honorable you can have doctors cx- 'w amine him, andI ind ouit his condition. w But the main ting is the guard who b has him in charge. Th'is guard should ai be a brave, watchful and cautious man, s and after every precaution has beeno taken he, thme prnisone r, should be car rled to jail before lhe gets fully well or strong. Of course, .1 am solicitous about his escape b)ecauise;of the requisi tion from Florida and not about the crime in this state, anid I only wanted n to put you on your guard. l -Yours rsetul, b IIMIPTON, July 27. in His Excelloncy, etc.A DEAR SIR-Your kind favor just re- a( celved and con tents dumly noted., In re ply will say tbat I do not propose to be w" influenced in the performance of my dtuty by considerations of personal feel ingor ul hy,and would gladly re- bi 2000 Jn a tothe jail If his removal a, :uld be made witlboti great risk. But am assured by Dra. Moore and Folk, :th gentlemen of high cbaracter, that is removal would be attended with iry seriousconsequences, and person observation also convinces me that Is in no condition to be moved. I IIl, however, increase the guard if you !em it advisable, thongh our board of unty commissioners have declined to ait any claim for expenses of guard ready recorded. What shall I do?

"I've brung her up to be a lady," Mrs. Saville disconsolately said. "French lessons and music, and goodness knows what all. I never wanted no girl of mine to work as hard as I have done. And this 'ere's the end on it!" Mrs. Saville wrung her hands in de spair. "I s'pose," said Uncle Brom (the. local abbreviation for "Abraham"), "she ain't none too good to work. We've all of us good liible authority for earning our bread in the sweat of our brows. There's Lo-i-sy llall, sie's mado a nice livin' sellin' eggs and spring chickens to the boarders in Jaelcsonville, anld-" "Lo-i-sy never had no boardin'-school education," whimpered M'l rs. Saville.

"And Eb enezer Laigit's darters earn twelve dollars a month doin' housework at the ieckwith hotel." "Alice ain't no hired gal." 'Ilumph! Where is she now?" "Upstairs a-writin'. She's read in the papers how them New York editors pays big prices for poems and stories, and she's a-miud to try her luc at the business." "Oh!" Uncle 1Bron said. "Postage is cheap, lucky for you. But I guess Alice won't nalce her fortune omiten no such work as that. Call her down. I want to spsalc to her." 8o Alice Saville was called, and came downstairs--a pale, pretty girl with wistful brown eyes, sxuny hair and red, sensitivo lips. The bright hkair was rumpled over her forehead: there 'was a troubled expression in tihe brown eyes, and the pretty middle finger of her right hand was steeped to tihe bone in ink. Evidently, literaturo did, not agree with her. "Pretty hard work?" said Unc'o Brom, with a chuckle. Alice laughed and nodded. "Jest like me," said Uncle Broft. "I'd ruther cut a whole crop o' tobacco than write a letter, any time o' day. But look here, my gal: Your ma says times is hard and you can't get no place to governess out or do ladies' compan ioning." "No," sighed Alice. "Every posit ion of that. sort seems to be tilled already. "Wal, look here," said Uncle lrom. "ur hired gal has gone home with the neuroi1gy in her face, an' the house is chuck phum full o' boarders, anm' my ole wonman she's in a peck of half biuslhels what to do.

And now, Gladys, get youir pen rando ink. I w'ant you to w~rite somec business letters for rae." Rather uniwllilngly, Glady's laid dowvn her novel and we-'nt to look for her desk.

"Ilere's an amanuensis, papa,'' said she, "that will bring you a deal more credit than I cant ever do." It was Alice Saville's flrsqt lesson in writing from dictation, but sihe acquit ted hierself nobly, anid Col.

"And this handwriting is exactly n the same." "Oh, pupa," cried riGalys, "may I A congratulate her on being able to k ilmagiliC so beautiful a story-to turn it P into such exquisite language?"

"Ilow about r4 my raria aris now? Isn't she really and ti truly a white swan? Whiter than any 2 lily?" After this, Alice Saville was the a chosen companion and favorite of the d ieniber of congress' two daughters, a rather to the surprise and critical re- t< marks of the other boarders. a "I ain't a bit surprised," said Uncle a Brom. "She was brung up to be alady, 1 and a lady she'll be to the end of the c chapter, no mattei if she was scrubbin' t Iloors or scourin' tins." But one day Gladys forgot her fa ther's words of caution and unguarded- v ly revealed to Alice Saville how she t and Fan had found the missing pages all blown about the orchard. To her surprise Alice burst into tears, and Gladys, in her panic and uncertainty, ran into the other room where Cul. Ayrault was writing, as usual. "Papa!" she cried, "papa, do conic in liere and fiee if you can comfort Alice." I The girl's tears were dried In an ili t stant. But Col.

"The ' fancies are exquisite and clothed in I most appropriate words. I lad 1 Writ- I ten this sketch I should be proud of it." And then, cheered by his words of 1 en-ouragement, she told him all her hopes and fears, the dreaming aspira tions and the blighting ful fill ment.

"Are we to have a-step-mother?" t The member of congress looked calm ly up from the piles of manuals and 1 records. "A h!" said lie. "Who has been talk- I ing to youl on this subject?" "EDrcrybay is talking," said Gladys. "Even Alice Saville knows about it, and she is sorry for me, I know she is, for she began to cry and hurried away t when I told her about my troubles.

The murder of Thornton Nance, for ihich the ten negroes were sentenced o-day 1, > be hanged, occurred on the 5th lay of August last, at a negro church tear Mountville, a station on t1ie Geor :ia, Carolina and Northern Railroad, ,bout eleven miles from this ciky. Fromt the testimony it appears that F0ln Nance had written -, letter to the vif'c of John Atkinson and that this >and of negroes went to tile church for he purpose of having a row with John i111nce and 1made I threat, that, tbey Vould kill tie legro that night. This hand of "'diabolical demons,'' as lie solicitor termed them. proceeded to I negro church to exiecute this design. lhey (id not attend tile sevices, but lay 11 wait arI-oun1d tile chuehl until tle ser 'ices were over. The night was a dark one, but the >nd was clearly recognized by a torch vhich Edmund Nance, father of the de eased, held for his wife and little chd Iren to see the road home. After a lit. le the quarrel grew warmer, and bullets vere flying in all directions. Sam Nance was shot through tile ungs, another negro was shot through ie hat and Thornton Nance was killed. The trial was begun on Tueday last t iloon and was ended last night about 1 o'clock. The State was represented y Lewis W. Simkins and Solicitor cliupert, and the murderers 1)y John on & Iichey. The detence argued ably for the bind. ? or seven they tried to prove an alibi, or tihe remaining three they claimed hat the evidence shiowed that Thornt,on qance was killed by lenry Suber, one f the legocs who fled and had nev%tr ween arrested. The jury remained out about three iours and returroed a verdict of guilty, vith aI recommendation to the mercy ot' he Court. The prisioiers were brought nto the Court room about 11 o'clock his morning to receive tile sentence. A mot,ion was make by Mr. Johnson or a new trial on t,me groundl thlat is .'onor had erred in the chaurge t,o the ury. The mot,ion, hlowever, was over uled.
