SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
? The first bale of South Carolina
cotton was on last Friday shipped by
Mr. H. C. Folk of Bamberg, to be auctioned
off in Augusta.
? The cotton growers of Spartanburg
county on Saturday adopted a
resolution asking for the resignation
of Secretary Cheatham, because of recent
developments in Atlanta.
? The management of the state fair
has closed a contract with John L.
Sullivan to give sparring exhibitions
during the state fair and is now trying
to make arrangements with William
J. Bryan to make a few speeches.
? Mr. Achilles W. Knight died at
, his home in Bennettsvllle last Saturday.
He was once sheriff of Marlboro!
county. He was the father of John
M. and Furman Knight of the Sumter
Herald and of A. W. Knight of the
Bamberg Herald. One sen. Arthur,
Is a traveling Inspector of ru.al delivery
routes.
? It was Cole L. Blease to whom
Senator Tillman referred when he
said that there was a whisper to the
effect that the man ^ho represented
Lanahan after Boykln quit was a
member of the investigating committee.
So thinks Mr. Blease himself. At
Union last Saturday Blease asked
Lyon if he knew what name L. W.
Parker would have given had he been
compelled to testify. Mr. Lyon said
that Mr. Parker had not told him
previously and he did not know. Then
Mr. Blease read affidavits from Lanahan
and from all the members of the
old board of directors and the present
board. All of the affidavits exonerating
Blease. After reading the affidavits
Mr. Blease said in effect that
he hoped that Senator Tillman would
have the manhood 10 correct the false
impression that he had created.
? Greenville special of Aug. 12:
Thomas F. Drake, a prominent and
wealthy farmer, was shot and killed
at his home, four miles from Anderson,
last midnight by J. Allen Emerson.
The trouble responsible for the
tragedy Is said to have grown out of
Emerson's Intimacy with Drake's
daughter. Emerson surrendered to
the authorities immediately after the
shooting and was brought here this
afternoon and lodged In jail. There
were ho demonstrations of violence,
the authorities taking this step out of
the abundance of precaution. Ac
cording to the story which reaches
here from Anderson, Drake had learned
In some way of Emerson's visits to
his daughter. At midnight, evidently
sure of his man, Drake opened the
door of his daughter's bedroom and
without a word opened fire on Emerson,
who was in the room with Miss
Drake. The father's aim was bad
and his shots went wild. Emerson,
at the first shot, pulled his pistol and
fired, killing Drake instantly. Emerson
then surrendered. Drake was fifty
years old and one of the most
prominent planters of that section.
He leaves a family. Emerson is forty
and a widower. An inquest was held
this afternoon and the responsibility
for Drake's death placed at Emerson's
door. Emerson, who was a distant
cousin of Drake's held a minor
county office. The daughter of Drake
is said to have left for parts unknown.
. ? The Chattanooga Times a few
days ago printed a story to the effect
that during the sham battle at Chickamauga
last Friday, a regular soldier |
was wounded by a bullet fired from a
Georgia volunteer regiment The
story had it that bullets came thick
and fast from the volunteers over the
regulars. John W. Bubb. brighter
general in command of the troops,
has denounced the story as false. He
says that he and other officers under
his command are familiar with the
????? ? maH? hv th? whistllnK
of bullets and that no bullets were
heard. He also asserts that no soldier
was wounded. The publication
of the story produced considerable
Indignation all along the line and
there is a feeling that there should be
some way to punish the Times for
giving currency to It.
