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. AT THE CHURCHES.
