BLOODSHED IN COLIMBIA. Disastrous Kosult of an Attempt to Intimidate I a Witness. A desperate shooting afiVay occurred in i Columbia last Friday, between \V. B. Meetze ! and Davis Miller, over a quarrel which j grew out of a dispensary prosecution. R. L. Seal was prosecuted before Trial j Justice Stack for violating the dispensary law. Several witnesses were examined, but all of them gave evasive answers, which could not be considered as direct evidence. Miller also tried to evade the questions of the lawyers, but was pusnea so ciosei^ mat nc | was not entirely successful. In spite of him- j self, he gave some information which at j least suggested a probability of the guilt of the defendant. It is alleged that there is a regular con- j spiracy in the city to intimidate witnesses and prevent them from testifying under the dispensary law. Meetze, who has long had the reputation of being a most desperate character, was the recognized leader of the conspirators. After the trial, Meetze tackled Miller and began abusing him on account of his testimony at the trial. It seems that the testimonv of Miller had contradicted that of one Burt Fry. Meetze told Fry that Miller had sworn that he, Fry, had lied. Fry asked Miller about the matter, and Miller said that whoever said so, lied. This brought Meetze into the difficulty. ^-Meetze at once called Miller a liar and struck him in the face. Trial Justice Stack got between the two men and tried to keep them apart. Stack held Miller. Meetze was furious, and ran toward Miller, shouting, with onths between every word, to pull and shoot. Meetze had his hand on his hip pocket. Miller broke HV loose from the trial justice, and putting his Wj hands into his overcoat pockets, brought them out with a revolver in each. Meetze had his revolver out about the same instant. Which man fired first does not clearly appear. Anyway, however, a fearful fusilade followed. In less thnu half a minute Meetze had fired two shots, and Miller had fired nine. Meetze fell to the ground, shot in the right side. The bullet entered about the centre of the vest pocket, and penetrating the cavity, lodged between the tenth and eleventh ribs. ufciUer. was only slightly . scratched on one-arm, hut both balls penetrated bis clothing. A big majority of the crowd present sympathized with Meetze, and when Meetze fell, they set up a shout to kill Miller. Sergeant Moorehead, of the police;force, rushed up and Miller promptly surrendered. The crowd still continued threatening. Moorehead drew his pistol and stated that he would kill the first man who attempted to interfere with his prisoner. Several members of the mob had already pulled their pistols, out id ooeuienoe 10 me command 01 the determined officer, they sullenly put them up. One man, Charles Hendrix, was arrested and locked up for carrying a concealed weapon. His pistol was confiscated i by the officers. Miller claims that the whole difficulty was of Meetze's own seeking. He had not talked to Meetze after the trial. Meetze had sought the difficulty for the purpose of killing him, and had gotten the worst of it. He was sorry the difficulty had occurred. Meetze is the man who defied the governor and the State constabulary at the fair last fall, and also the man who killed James Clark, in Columbia, several years ago. Meetze was shot within a few yards of the spot on which Clark was killed. PASSED THE HOUSE. The Wilson tariff bill, together with the income tax amendments, has at last passed ' the house and is now in the hands of the senate. The final vote on the bill was taken last Thursday afternoon. It resulted yeas, 204 ; nays 140; majority in favor of its passage, 64. The main issue before the final vote was the income tax. With the exception of 9, the Republicans refrained from voting, but! all the same the amendment was adopted by j a vote of 182 to 50. Of the 50 votes against the bill, 41 were those of Democrats, and all but four of these were from the Plutocratic States of the northeast. Three from the State of Louisiana, and the other was Mr. Brawley, of South Carolina, who will resign in a few days to become a Federal judge. The closing speeches on the tariff bill were ! made by Thomas B. Reed, Speaker Crisp i and Hon. Wm. L. Wilson. Reed's speech was a powerful appeal in behalf of protection, but the reply of Speaker Crisp was so convincing that a number of Democrats who had announced it as their intention to vote against the bill, changed their minds and voted with the majority. Throughout the debate, the galleries of the house were so packed and jammed with s|>ectators, that it was almost impossible for anybody to move, and when the final vote was announced, the enthusiasm that followed knew no bounds. Men threw up their hats and yelled until they were hoarse, and women waved their handkerchiefs and clapped their hands. The scene on the lloor of the house was of the same nature. The members gave cheer after cheer, and Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, and Tucker,: of Virginia, raised Representative Wilson off I his feet and carried him out of the hall into ' the committee room on their shoulders. Whatever may have been the difference of i opinion among Democrats, the passage of j the bill smoothed away all rough places, and | the party is once more thoroughly united. BLACKSBIJRU'S BUDGET.

White Oak, February 5.?Many of my neighbors are subscribers to The EnqI'IUKU, and we all believe that it is the best county and family newspaper in the State. I venture that wherever it goes it is a most welcome visitor. While the marriage bells have not been m ringing in White Oak recently, our little town has had the pleasure of entertaining . I 1 1 . >T~ T 1... 1 iwo urines mm grooms. .111. jumi jiuiuei and bride,of Chester; and Mr. Dave Milling and bride, of Monticcllo, have been visiting! friends here. The first named couple was the guest of Mr. J. H. Patrick, and the liist named was the guest of Mr. II. J. Hamilton. Dr. Will Mitchell, of this place, has moved to New Hope. We are loath to give him up, but wish bint all success in his new home. Wheat and fall sown oats are looking line in this section. If our farmers will only I make their own bread and meat, the good ] old days gone by that we hear our fathers'] talk about so often, will soon leturn. We have a good school here, under the j management of Mr. J. M. MeNaull. There! are between thirty-live and forty pupils on the roll. We have preaching in the A. K. 1*. church here three Sabbaths a month, by liev. J. A. Smith. Mr. Smith has only been here for a| short while, but is pursuing his duties as pastor with great zeal and energy, He is doing good work. White Oak church is in a growing and prosperous condition. I attended service at Lebanon, more generally known as Jackson Creek, on January 2S, to hear Rev. W. K. Hoggs, the evangelist. The sermon was a very able one. As a result of a meeting held by Mr. Hoggs sometime ago, there were eight additions to the church, and a number of people promised to live better lives. Rev. M. R. Kirkpatrick has accepted a call to Concord church. The people of this section are glad to welcome Mr. Kirkpatrick back into Bethel presbytery. s. i>. ROCK HILL IIAITEMNUS. New Church Ituildln^s to l>e Erected Soon? Points About People. Correspondence of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Rock Hii.i., February 6.?The Baptists intend to build a new house of worship at this place next summer. The late W. M. Frew, by one of the provisions of his will, left $2,000 for the purpose of erecting a church here, provided the building should be erected within eighteen months from the time of his death. This liberal bequest will no doubt be handsomely supplemented. The Presbyterians are contemplating the erection of a new church, to cost $15,000. Such a building will not only be a credit to the denomination but an ornament to the town. In view of the increased production of tobacco in this vicinity, and the probability that the increase will be still greater, the advisability of establishing a tobacco factory at this place is being discussed by some of our local capitalists. This would make Ilock Hill a tobacco market, and would no doubt help both town and county. A Young Men's elub, with Mr. O. S. l'oe as president, has been organized here. The charter members number 25. Miss Annie Lyle Roddey and Miss Leise NVhitner, left here last Thursday uight for Florida. Mrs. N. H. Smith, of Reidville, is visiting the family of her cousin Mr. John Anderson. Miss iseauiori Minins, 01 c oiumma, is visaing the family of Mr. David Hutchinson.

Kimbrell, who lives about one mile below Fort Mill. She had been in bad health for some time but was thought to be better. Her death occurred suddenly, while she was preparing dinner. Mrs. Kimbrell was one of the oldest living members of the Presbyterian church at this place. She was a conscientious Christian, and her death will be mourned throughout the community. The fuueral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church, by Rev. I)r. J. H. Thornwell, in the presence of many friends and relatives. The remains were interred in the cemetery at this place. The deceased leaves a husband and five sons and one daughter to mourn her loss. Iu their sad bereavement the family has the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Mr. W. A.

Newman, who recently resigned his position as professor of agriculture at Cleinsou college, at the request oi the board of trustees, has been interviewed l>y the Atlanta Constitution. Professor Newman is very bitter. He denounces President Craighead as incompetent, and says thai there is too much polities in the management of the institution. President Craighead. says Colonel Newman, was inadt director of the experiment station, in ordei that #1,-"><>' of his salary might he drawn from the Hatch fund. Although he know.* but little or nothingofagriculture, President Craighead assumed to manage even the details of the experiment station, and Colonel 11 it p, :% Civilian WOUIW mil |'uv ?I|> ...1.. ,1. . dent Craighead appealed to the hoard o trustees, and the hoard sustained him bj asking hot* Newman's resignation, (Sovernot Tillman explains the dillieulty by saying that although Newman is a man of ability he would not recognize ability in others, and his resignation was necessary for the promo tion of harmony amon^ the trustees and pro lessors of the college. The governor denies that politics had anything to do with tin matter, and says that the motion asking lot Newman's resignation was made by a member of the board who belongs to the Conserv lative faction.

It seems to have prevailed in the days of the poet (turns, when it provoked him to write? "Some hooks tire lies fine end to end, And?some great lies were never penn'd ; Ev'n ministers, they line been kenn'd In holy rapture. A rousing whid at times to vend An nail't wi Scripture." We admit the sin is prevalent, but all are not | liars, f igures uoni no, aim cnviiiisuy nun i lie, and when at ('leinxon collage they find, l?y analysis, that the Olobo Phosphate company's fertilizers contain so much more manorial ingredients than others, you are hound to put it down as true. When .7. W. if.

Grant says that the (ilobe fertilizers are the best he ever used, no one who knows the man will doubt that he is asserting what he believes to be true. It will pay you to call and get our prices.

Although the year 1893 will go down in history ! as one of unprodented financial depression, still I it would seem that the existing conditions did not retard the progress of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York. During the year ending December .11, 1803, it received ?<>4,1 (>9,000.00 of new business, which is the largest amount of life insurance, pure and simple, ever secured in one year by any life insurance company in the world. During the year it paid death claims to the amount of ?2,US.'!,700, and since its organization has paid over ?17,723,000, which is ?0,038,730 more than the beneficiaries would have received had the deceased mciribcrs been insured in old line companies, and paid them the same premiums for ordinary life insurance which they paid the Mutual Reserve.

He came to Yorkvillc three years since and united with the Bap tist church here, of which ho lived a consistent member until his death. Brother Haitheoek was a man of even an amiable disposition. His was a peaceful nature, (hi this account he had but few, if any enemies. Those who knew him best, being associated with him in business, I tell us he was a man of integrity. We knew him as one professing great self control. He had i power over his tongue, and no one ever heard iiim speak evil of another. He was kind to the needy and distressed, remarkably patient in I suffering, and hopeful to the last. A large concourse of friends attended the funeral services and accompanied his remains to their last resting place. Before he died, he expressed a firm hope of peace beyond the river. When asked on what ground his hope was based, I he answered, "Because of the relations between j Him (Jesus) and me."

I AM BEHIND; BUT I AM FIXIN' TO CATCH UP. Did YOU Pay for what Goods YOU got from the Bazaar During the year 18h0? READ ON. IT MAY INTEREST YOU AND ME! LAST week I incidentally picked np my ledger for 1890, and through curiosity counted up the amount of unpaid accounts, and it footed up the amount of $5,000. About $4,800 of this amount is against persons who are able to pay their accounts,- and persons who came to us in 1890 and with a straighter face than John (>. Carlisle could ever rig up, said : "Mr. Latimer, could you charge these goods sixty days?" To which I almost always invariably answered, "Yes, sir." Observe the result. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS OK UNPAID ACCOUNTS ! Isn't that tough ? I at once had my bookkeeper to send out fifty statements of accounts of that year, requesting immediate settlement. None have complied with the request. . If you do not pay your account for ' 1890 within 10 days from the first api, pearance of this advertisement, it is I possible that I might make you feel 1. very bad. Here is what I am going to t do : If every one of those accounts are H not paid within ten days, I am going ,, to put these accounts into the hands jj of my attorneys, with instructions to force collections at once.

The Rest in the World for Rheumatism. CitAitr.oTTK, N. C., December 10,1K84. I have used Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy, and it is the finest medicine I ever used for rheumatism. For more than 20 years I have been afflicted with muscular rheumatism, and had tried every known remedy, but without avail. I was often I so bad off and sulfered so much that I could not lie down, but had to be propped up in bed. I had been subject to these severe attacks for 20 years. I tried M rs. Person's Remedy last spring, and am perfectly cured. It is the best medicine in the world, I think. No words of mine can express the benefit I have derived from its use. I suffered from palpitation of the heart from the least exertion. Of that I am perfectly relieved. My health is now perfect, and it is all owing to Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. Iam strong and well, and can take extender! exercise without fatigue. I advise all who need a tonic, or are suffering with rheumatism, or eczema, to take it. I was induced to try it by its having cured my little grandson of eczema. MRS. S. M. HOWELL. Mrs. Joe Person's 'Reinedy for Nursing Mot hers. 11oi'KWKI.I., N. ('., Sept. 4, 18**. Mas. Jok Pkhson?Madam : Four years ago I took violent cold, which resulted in quinsy, and after suffering almost death, got relief; but alas! thodisease was in my system, and finally culminated in a womb trouble which caused me great suffering that winter and spring. I could scarcely drag around, and wiisollcn so miserable I would pray to die. I begged my husband to let me try your Remedy. He bought me one box, and it has made a perfect cure of me. It has also cured me of indigestion ; and furthermere, after the birth of five of my children I wouiu ucany iosm; mi: uni; m my ?inn.->, .mu muf'ered untold agony with rheumatism anil neuralgia. f have not been troubled with either of last two children. I keep a bottle of the Remedy in the house all the time. My husband says it is better than a doctor. With all my other children I had great trouble with them during dentition. I can truthfully say, never did children cut teeth with so much ease and as little trouble as my hist two have. Whenever I see any sign of their teething 1 commence taking the Remedy. It keeps my stomach and bowels regular ami in a healthy condition, and seems to have the same effect on theirs. It is certainly the best tonic 1 ever tried. A few doses will brace me up and make me feel like a new person. Yes, publish any part of my letter that will help your cause in the least. I hate publicity, but if my experience with the Remedy will will be the means of others trying it, I am willing for the public to know the good it has done me and mine.

My lending brand is my old stand by, 100 PER CENT., and it is at least Tl per cent, better than any other brand sold in York county, and we seli at the ruling price for the "best"?$2.50 per sack.
