gusta and a short stay in the mountains

PERSONAL MENTION.
Hon. James O. Patterson, of Barn
well, was in Aiken on last Thursday to
attend the Brigham-Wood wedding.
The Rev W B. Sams, of Abbeville,
has received a call to the rectorship of
a parish in the diocese of Maryland.
We understand that he has the matter
under consideration.
The friends of Mr. W W. Woolsey
will be pleased to ^trn that his son
Mr. JeiuuWj
iey. of New York, has
law
ceived a telephone message from Ellen-
ton that a shooting affray had occurred
near Bush’s Hag station on the Port
Royal railroad, and that Mr. J. Burrell
McLain had been killed, and his son
William wounded, by some negroes the
night before. He immediately gather
ed a posse of three or four good men
and went to the place via Augusta, ar
riving there at about half past two in
the afternoon. He found everything
to have
ngliaUileu. He returned
to Aiken on Tue>day afternoon.
From all the information obtainable
it setjius that the negro named David
Gardenhigh lived on Mr. John Bates’
place, but had a child about twelve
j ears of age by a woman on Mr. J. Bur
rell McLain's place near Turner’s. The
man took the child away from the
woman. McLain, it seems, wanted the
child for a field hand and went to a
magistrate to have it restored to its.
mother. The magistrate refused to in
terfere, and on Monday the 29th May
Mr. McLain and his son went to Gar-
denhigh’s house and took the child
away, and returned him to his mother.
The child then ran away and went back
to his father. On last Saturday the
two McLain’s went again to Garden-
high’s house to get the child, but did
not succeed, as the father refused to
give him up. On Sunday afternoon at 1
about dusk the two| McLain’s, another
white man, and two negroes,went again,
armed with shot guns and pistols, to
Gardenhigh’s house to take awa3’ the
chi*d b3’ force.
To this point the account seems
straight enough, but as to the affray
itself the accounts are more mixed.
It is reported that when the party of
three white men and two negroes ap
proached the house Gardenhigh was
standing in the yard. He immediately'
ran into the house and slammed the
door to. In the house with him were a
woman, his two sons, both grown young
men, and the child in question. Here
there are conflicting statements. One
account says that Burrell McLain ran
up on the door steps, and placing the
muzzle of his gun against the door,
fired. The door shows a large shot
hole, blackened with powder, and his
gun barrel is burst. Another of his
companions fired through the door and
another through the weatherboarding.
Another account simply says that a
volley was tired into the house. After
a little intermission the door was sud
denly jerked open irom inside the house
and the negro (Gardenhigh) appeared
with a doublebarrel shotgun and tired
both barrels at Burrell McLain. One
charge struck him in tne left arm, and
wounded his son William in the leg,
and the other entered his right breast.
McLain walked a few paces around the
house and fell and died. The AU-Lain
party then left, vnd the dead man re
mained where he had fallen until
Monday morning. Ti.e three ne
gro men then made their escape. The
woman was slightly' wounded in her
left wrist.
After the killing of McLain, Garden-
high went to the house of his white
neighbor and told him what he had
done, and said he was compelled to do
it to save his family. He was advised
to surrender to the sheriff,which he said
he would do.
The excitement caused by the affair
was very great, and next morning a
number of neighbors had assembled
and instituted a hunt for Gardenhigh.
But lie had made his escape, and ac
cording to the latest information from
that section had not been found.
On Tuesday night David Gardenhigh
and one of Ids sons came to Aiken and
surrendered themselves to the sheriff,
and are now in jail. They claim that
they shot only in self defense in de
fending their home and their persons
against the unwarranted attack of Ale- i
tin and his party.
Machine far Laying Bricks.
It is stated that Mr. I* H. Loud, of
-Williston, has invented a machine that
will revolutionize the art of building,
in addition to cheapening the cost of
construction and the time necessary for
the erection of brick structures.
It is claimed by those who have seen
the machine that it will lay brick with
alLof the skill of the most.aecomplisln d
bricklayer, with perfect accuracy, and
with a rapidity that discounts the hu
man hands It is said that with two or
three men operating the machine, sup
plying it with bricks and mortar, that
it will do the work of a dozen brick
layers in the course of a day, carrying
up a wall as if by magic.
It is further claimed that the ma
chine can be easily and quickly regula
ted so as to skin wherever it is desired
to leave doors and windows, doing this
work with seeming human intelligence.
It is also said that the machine is not
complicated, will not easily get out of
order, and is in every way a practical
and useful invention, sure to come into
general use by contractors.
The Anderson correspondent of the
News and Courier says: “It is likely
that Anderson county may soon vote on
the question of dispensary or no dis
pensary. Petitions are being circulated
for signatures for an election on Aug. 2.
So far the movement consists of Rev.
\V. \V. Leathers, a well known Baptist
minister, and a few others, but Ander
son county has twice gone prohibition,
and may do so again. There are, how
ever, no blind tigers in the county and
the dispensaries have been well man
aged, so that dissatisfaction with cur
rent conditions is not great.

meeting on last .Monday, and enjoyed
t hemselves to a degree.
About sixteen or eighteen members

in the highest
door in the jail, to carry in the prison
ers’ breakfast, Joe Adams, who was
squatting by the door ready, jumped
on the jailor, grabbed him around his
waist and attempted to get his pistol.
Air. Vernon defended himself, and al
though a powerful man, may have been
overcome if he had not been assisted
by his wife, who ran up behind the ne
gro, and reaching around his head,
pushed her fingers into his eyes, thus
demoralizing him, when he was pulled
off by George Broadnax and Alajor
Gunter, two other negro prisoners, who
also came to Air. Vernon’s assistance.
Joe Adams is the negro charged with
arson in the matter of the burning of

he is also wanted in Edgefield to an

The Usual Hot Supper Results.
On last Saturday some negroes gave
a hot supper near Montmorenci. which
had the usual results—pistol practice,
and negroes shot.
On this occasion however none of the
participants were killed, but
Adams was shot in the heel and leg;
and Duke Gray received a slight wound
on his skull. They are both doing well
and will soon be about again.

On last Friday night the closing ex

1 regret to learn of his
death in New York on the 24th Alay.
He had been coming to Aiken every
fall for many years, and had a long
struggle with the disease that at last
carried him off. He was one of the trus
tees of the Aiken Library, and took a
very active interest in that institution.
The Electric Light Co.’* Ice Plant.
AA’e learn that the Carolina Light and
Power Company has obtained an opt ion
also on the Rogers’ premises at corner
of Richland avenue and Union street.
The company has an option also on the
lot of the Aiken Fuel company. To
make either place available for the ice
factory it will be necessary for the
Southern railway company to give a
spur track from its main line, and the
city to give permission for the track to
be run across the street.
The company lias received three bids
for the drilling of the artesian well, and
as the bid of Perry Andrews Co., our
old friends, was the most advantageous
it has been accepted conditional upon
the completion of certain arrangements
yet to be made by the C. L. A.' P. com

Is it Right?
Is it right that a property-owner
should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make
50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents more
on fourteen gallons of ready-for-use
paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our
agent does on eight gallons ol L. & M.
paint and six gallons of linseed oil,
which ‘make fourteen gallons of the
best paint in the world, at $1.20 per
gallon; the property-owner loses just
$4.20. Is it right?
It only requires 4 gallons of L. A AI.
and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a mod
