SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Taken Back to Spartanburg. The State, Thursday: Yesterday morning Sheriff Dean, of Spartanburg county, having had a good night's rest at the Hotel Jerome, called a carriage and at 8 o'clock drove up to the county jail. In a few moments he emerged and had State Detective Newbold with him as his prisoner. The two drove to the union depot, and at 8.80 o'clock took the train to Spartanburg. Newbold looked pale and sick ; bnt did not feel the slightest uneasiness about go? 1 1- AAitnftr in tvKinK Kfi IQg UBUJ&. l/U IUC UIUUIIJI m nuivu uv had killed J. Henry Turner. Sheriff Dean treated Newbold just as be * would any other prisoner charged with murder. He had him handcuffed. No one else accompanied the sheriff. Mr. Thomason, Newbold's attorney, was aboard the same train. The scene of all further developments in the now justly celebrated Newbold case, has thus been transferred to Spartanburg. Death at Wlntbrop. Rock Hill correspondence of the Columbia Register: At 11 o'clock Wednesday night, Miss Fannie Roques, who had just entered college this fall, died at Winthrop. She had been sick for about two weeks with fever, contracted at her home during the summer. She bad the very best attention from the resident physician, Dr. Elizabeth K. Miller, assisted by trained nurses, and for several dayB past her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Roques, have been at her bedside. This is the second time that the happy family circle at Winthrop has been saddened by death, the first having been that of Miss Hutchinson, one of the teachers, last spring. The remains of Miss Ro-ques were taken to her home at Society Hill, in Darlington county. Many hearts are wrung with grief at the death of one who left home just a few weeks ago, in apparently good health, with her heart full of happiness ana her life full of hope and promise. Death of H^or S. P. Hamilton. Columbia State : This (Tuesdry) morning, a gloom was cast over all Chester when it became known that Major S. P. Hamilton was no more. His death occurred last night about 12.30 o'clock after a lingering illness of five months. Only two days ago his physician was very much encouraged by what was considered a change for the better, and, therefore, death f came very Unexpectedly. He would have been 72 years of age in January. Major Hamilton was a member of one , -of the most illustrious and distinguished families of South Carolina. His father was Governor James Ham' ilton and his great grandfather signed the declaration of independence. He < was educated partly in New Haven, Conn., and partly in Charleston, S. C., and was the possessor of a brilliant intellect. The greater part of his .youth was spent in Washington, D. C. During the time of his father's congressional career he was well known all over South Carolina and widely known outside of the state's borders. He was one of the best soldiers South Carolina had in the civil war. He commanded abattalion of artillery, com posed of three batteries, aDd ranked as major. He was in the fiercest conflicts of the war and lost his arm while "lighting for his country's cause. After the war Major Hamilton settled in Chester and has practiced law here ever since. He represented Chester eounty in the lower house of the state legislature for two terms. For 18 months prior to his taking sick he was busily engaged iu preparing bis book on the Life and Times of James Hamilton, and it is to be hoped that this valuable book will yet be published as it is now ready for publication. He leaves a son and brother and friends here and all over the state to mourn bis loss. THE COTTON CONVENTION. I ndlcatlons Point to Big Attendance From All Parts of the South. Columbia State. Advices indicate that the coming convention of cotton growers from the southern states, called by President Wilborn, of the South Carolina Alii- [ ance, is going to be largely attended. In Georgia much interest has been manifested. Colonel D. P. Duncan, of the Alliance exchange, yesterday said that several promioent Alliances in Texas had been heard from. Colonel Duncan thinks that the convention will so act as to enable Mr. Rcddey to accomplish something with his plan. Colonel Duncan says be believes in fighting tbe devil witb fire, and the only way for the farmers who raise cotton to fight their arch enemies who drive the price down is to band themselves together in such a way as to meet their antagonists upon their own ground.
