TRAGEDY IN EDGEFIELD. Mr. Leon J. Williams Kills Two Men. Troy Special to The State, November 30. The usually quiet community of Liberty Hill, in Edgefield county, was terribly shocked on Suuday afternoon when the news spread that Mr. Leon J. Williams had shot and killed Messrs. L. D. and J. V. White, brothers. The particulars leading to the killing date back to the election of 1894. Mr. Williams was then a candidate for the legislature, and reports were circulated detrimental to his character. Mr. Williams was informed that Mr. L. D. White was responsible for these reports; but matters were kept quiet till the cauvass of 1896, when Mr. White was a candidate for the legislature. A short while before the election, letters very damaging to Mr. White were received by different parties in the county. By chance one of the letters fell into White's hands, and he saw that Mr. Williams was the author. The contents of the letter was of such a nature that Mr. White thought a retraction and apology necessary and he so stated to some of his friends. Friends of both parties then went to work to try to ameliorate matters and it was thought that the differences were partially settled, or so much so that trouble would be avoided ; but it seems that this was not to the satisfaction of Mr. J. V. White, who championed bis brother's cause, and kept the matter agitated. The union meeting at Bethany church yesterday was an occasion when .the surrounding county turned out en masse, and it was the first time the ? *-* * ?* ? *1*'* u Ka/i mul , priUUiptilS 1U buc iia^guj uuu uivii Just after services Mr. J. V. White approached several gentlemen and told them that he expected to have a conversation with Mr. Williams and would like them to be present; but be was told that it was neither the time nor place and to let it alone, and no more was thought of it. All except a few had left the grounds, and Mr. Williams, in company with his mother, was driving off in bis buggy, when he was called by J. V. White and told that he would like to see him. Mr. Williams got out of bis buggy and went to where J. V. White and L. D. White, P. B. Callison and W. H. Yeldell were standing. When J. Y. White said something about the letters that had been written duriug the last canvass, Mr. Williams replied that he thought the matter had been settled, and if they were not satisfied they would have to act. While then cursed him and shook his fist in Williams' face, whereupon the latter knocked him down. When White arose, he bad his pistol in bis band, and before any one could iuterfere, Williams drew and fired, shooting bis antagonist through the heart, killing him instautly. L. D. White then began cutting Williams about the head and face, when be turned his gun and shot the second White twice in the stomach and in each arm. Mr. White lingered till 4 o'clock this morning when he died. He had a pistol in his pocket but did not draw it at all. He stated before his death that he could have killed Mr. Williams had he cared to. Mr. Williams received a severe cut across the temple aud it was thought that be would bleed to death before a physician could reach him ; but he is now resting well and is considered out of danger. He is an ex-member of the legislature and is now a member of the state dispensary board of control. He i9 well known in many parts of the state and has hosts of friends. The bodies of the dead men had not been removed from the church this morning. Their sad deaths are doubly deplorable, as each leaves a wife and children entirely dependent upon them for support. Both were Masons and will be buried tomorrow at Bethany, thesceue of the difficulty, by the McCormick lodge. Paid *25,000. The dispensary paid $25,000 into the state treasury on Monday last. This makes $75,000 of the $100,000 promised by the 1st of January. It is expected that the last payment will be quite easy on account of the Christ mas holiday trade.

Deaftiess Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is [ the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh | cure. sen a ior circulars, net?. P. J.

THE OLD RELIABLE'S Ringing Words from Western York. WHISONANT & CASTLES, the reliable hustling merchauts of Hickory Grove, never complain of the disadvantages in freight rate that they have to contend with; but sing out in no un- , certain tones that they meet competition in every instance and from every source and quote prices to prove it. They want you to examine their Men's Shoes at 98 cents, and also their 89 cents Shoes for Liauies. They carrv a nire lino of gentlemen's clothing and quoic a whole suit at $3.90, and assure you that no one can beat the suit or price. They boast of their square business methods and low prices and prove their claims by example rather than precept, and parties who need goods in their line can ao no better anywhere than at Whisonant & Castles. They still have on hand a FEW HORSES, and anyone who knows them, would not hesitate to advise you to buy from WHISONANT & CASTLES.
