C , are respectfully informed that the New Palmetto Hotel will be managed by, and in the interest of the Winter Cottage Colony, to the exclu sion of all objectionable parties. Plans I etc., are now on exhibition at the Sum j mit Spring office, 3 Park Place, New j York ; after June 15th, the Sum mi I Spring hotel, Poland. Maine. “C. Win Perkins,” “For the Palmetto Co.” From this it will be seen that i the new hotel matter is up again , and it is reported that work will be be- ! gun on the building at an early date Vr. Joe Leitner, architect with Mr. C C. Wilson of Columbia, was in Aiker on Monday to confer with Mrs. Cowei on the subject, b ut this ladyis in Balti more. Mr. Leitner says that a half o’ the stock, $150,000, has been positive!} subscribed,and a party is ready to fur nish the other half, which will mak the $300,000 wanted. He thinks that the enterprise is now on a firm basis. The Columbia State of Monday says: ‘ Confirmation of the report as to th^ New Palmetto hotel at Aiken was re ceived in Columbiaon Sunday from Mr C. Win Perkins, assistant manager of the Summit Spring hotel at Poland -Maine. “Air. Perkins came to Aiken last win ter as manager of the Park in the Pines, but toward the close ef the season took the management of the Palmetto hotel and declared his intention of having a splendid new hotel bui’t on that site In the effort to secure the necessary backing he seems to have been quite successful, for he has announced the selection of plans, and even now is ad vertising through the friends of the Summit Spring hotel in Maine that he will have the New Palmetto hotel open for business in the fall The hotel will cater to those of the “exclusive set” who do not own cottages in Aiken. “It will be gratifying to Columbians to know that this fine piece of architec ture will be erected under thedlrection of Mr. C. C. Wilson, who made such a success of the Park in the Pines, easily lhe most comfortable and most con veniently arranged winter resort hotel in the pine belt. The Park in the Pines represents a cost of more titan a quarter of a million dollars, and the New Pal metto will be equally as costly a struc ture. Mr. Perkins shows his belief that such an inn will pay in the heart of the town, for the Palmetto will be erected on Hayne avenue, just three blocks from the postoftice and business part of the city The need of such an en terprise suggested itself to Mr. Perkins at once last winter. “The owner of .the site is Mrs. H. A. W. Cowen of Aiken, but formerly of Baltimore, and she is largely interested in the new company. It is said by those who have seen the plans that Mr Wilson has in the designs for this build ing exceeded all of his previous efforts. “The building will be four stories, and the general style w'il! be that of the charming English country inns, with brick, stucco and half-timber walls, and tile roof. The entire first story, basement and rotunda, with its two Hanking towers, will be in solid brick construction, and the wrings in half- timber construction. “The building will occupy three sides of a square surrounded by broad parked streets; the entrances will be at the southeast corner, and the principal fa cades will face to the south, east and west, giving a maximum number of rooms with direct sunlight.” MARRIAGE. in . . i’xi 1 iWf’.rujn/i.s tui ,i the Book of Amos at the Baptist church | have awakened much interest in Old Testament prophecy.

Woodburn, who has been residing in Aiken for his health since last fall, has entered the real es tate business and will open h : s office about July 1st, in the Johnson building, on Park avenue, next east of the Postal Telegraph company. We wish him abundant success in his undertaking. The city of Aiken has got a street sprinkler. It was received last week and on Friday afternoon put to work for the first time, laying the dust on Laurens street. It is a good invest ment, and its frequent use in the thick ly populated parts of the town, during this very dry weather, will be greatly appreciated Mr. J. H. Loomis ceased handling ice yesterday, as the recent reduction in price caused by the compe ition of the Consumers lee company of Migusta, rendered the business unprofitable for i him. His retirement from the ice bus- j iness is to be regretted as he has al ways given good service and was always prompt and reliable. We learn that he will resume the business as soon as one of the ice factories is built. Sams-Hutsoa. Last evening Rev. William Bowen Sams, of Abbeville, was married in St. Thaddeus church by Rev. A.

This Wills or his brother Milligan Wills drew a knife and cut Boyd across the wrist. Others were at once involved in the difficulty, and the car was stop ped at once, and Conductor Fishburn rushed to the rear platform and en deavored to prevent the row. He was assisted by Conductor Gay, who also was on the car. Gay declared that they arrived before the first shot was fired, and that the negroes were very boisterous and cursed them vilely. Will or Milligan Wills jumped from the car, according to Gay, and pulled his pistol and opened fire on the crowd. The firing then becanife conductors joining in. The light was general between drink- ! ing white men and negroes on the rear | platform of the car. Pistols and knives | were used with telling effect. The ne groes were forced to jump from the car, and several who were not injured took to the woods. Peter Renew, a white passenger, fell from the car to the road side and was dead when reached by the other passengers. His body was found on the side of the track. He was dead, a bullet striking him just below the heart and ranging across his body. The direction indicated that he had been shot by some one standing on the ground. His knife was found open in his hand. It was bloody, showing that it had been used with effect. Conductor Fishburn was shot in the back, the bullet striking him in the left shoulder and ranging to the right shoulder. It is not believed that the cavity was penetrated. He is doing nicely. Mack Boyd’s wound is a slight one, a cut across the wrist. He was not de tained. The car crew chased Charles AVills, and when he refused to surrender shot him down, after he had emptied his pistol at conductors Fishburn and Gay, He was shot through the abdomen, the sicians t hat he ever lived to reach his cot in the ward again. After such se rious operations nineteen out of twenty men would not be able to raise their heads in the bed. Wills condition was looked on as critical, and very little hope of his recovery was indulged in by tiLaaliEndAiits at the hospital Wills was found by the police after i wo hours of search, and brought to the barracks. Staggering like a drunken man he was helped into the office and given a chair, awaiting the arrival of the hospital ambulance. The surgeons attending the ambulance found the negro’s condition critical. His pulse was 150, and it was evident that there was further loss of blood in ternally. He was carried back to the hospital on a stretcher, and chained to the bed to prevent a second effort to escape. The surgeons with the ambulance found that an effort had been made by Wills to remove his bandages, which covered two-thirds of his body. Had general, the ! he succeeded it is probable that a hem- j morhage would have followed and he would have died immediately. It is one of I he most remarkable in cidents in the records of the local hos pital. Naturally in consequence of his first wound, aggravated by his escapade, the man died Monday afternoon. MEETING OF COUNCIL. Two Other Beiths from Trolley Accident. Mr. Allie R.

He is the fourtli victim of the wreck to die’ Mr. Robinson had his leg crushed. The injured limb had to be amputated. It was not thought that his injury would prove to be serious, but the first, part of this week there was a change in his condition with the above result. Mr. C. W. Cheatham, who was injur ed in the same collision, died Saturday afternoon at 7 o’clock, the fifth victim of the accident claimed by death.

P oor H air Murdered a Little Boy. On Sunday morning Simp Nipper, a negro fellow of about twenty years of age,deliberately shot and killed a negro boy of about eight years of age on Mr. j Darling Jackson’s farm, about six miles this side of Johnston and directly on the dividing line between Aiken and Edgefield counties. From the best information it seems that the little boy with a younger sis ter. and a little white boy, were j day ing on the roadside, when the man Nipper came along with a bucket. The girl asked to see the bucket, and the boy asked Nipper what he would do if any body tried to take his bucket. Nipper re lied that lie would shoot him. Then the little boy said. “Then shoot me.” The fellow thereupon drew his pistol and fired on the child, shooting him through the left breast and killing him instantly. He then made his escape. ^s Mr. Darling Jackson’s place is sit uated directly on the boundary line, some of his land being in Edgefield and the rest with his residence being in Aiken, it is uncertain in which coiliity the murder was done.

The committee recommended that plumbers be required to report to the city clerk, and inspector, for inspec tion, all work done. The superintendent of water works reported that during the past two months the deep well pumps had been working at about 20 strokes per min ute; and the C 1 4 inch i ump has not broken down, while the large 7l,i inch has broken down six times, probably <m account of the heavier load this pump has to lift. On this account he advised that larger rods be got for this pump. With some slight additional changes in parte of the engine, and heavier rods for the large pump, ‘.lie pumping plant will be in good work ing order in all essential details.

On Sunday.at M1.1 lopechurch, about a mile from Montmorenci. on the Pine Log road, in a row,Coot Piper shot and killed Emanuel Hartley, both negroes. Hartley was shot in the left side just be low the ribs, and the ball passed en tirely through him. He died on Mon day at about noon. Piper has the reputation of being a dangerous negro, and all kinds of re ports were in circulation that he would defy arrest, etc. On Monday morning Sheriff Raborn and Mr. A \V. Davis went down to Montmorenci to take him. Upon ar riving near that place they were in formed titai letter uoaM and was well armed. They thereupon telephoned to Mr. W. Quitman Davis to bring down a couple of Winchester rifles. The latter went down immedi ately. and learning that Piper had gone around to his house, he advised the sheriff that it would be better if he and his pesse would remain at the Wade house near the railway crossing and let him go alone to Piper, as he believed that he would surrender to him alone, but not to an armed posse. His advice was taken, and after Mr. Davis had sent word to Piper that he was corning alone for him, and expected him to give up, he drove to the negro’s house, but nevertheless on the keen watch for trouble, and saw the man waiting for him on the porch of his house. Piper came down at once, and getting into the buggy was brought in by Mr. Davis without any trouble, and by the sheriff put in jail. Piper says that he had no thought of injuring Hartley, with whom he had had no quarrel, but he was having a shooting affr y with another negro, named Ben, who had shot first at him twice, when Hartley attempted to take the pistol from his ( Piper’s) hand, and in doing so the pistol was discharged, and Hartley was shot and killed. Oatrageoas Threats of Lawlessness. It really seems as if the lawlessness of many of the citizens of Aiken county cannot be restrained. The latest evi dence is the threat to uo violence to the negro Milligan Wills, who was im plicated in the recent murder of Mr. Peter Renew, and who is now held in the Richmond, Ga., county jail, if he can be got at in South Carolina. It seems that Sheriff Raborn had been notified . that Wills could be brought back to this State, and he went to Au gusta on Tuesday to get him; but he received intimation that a number of lawless men had determined to outrage the law, and had organized watching for his return with the prisoner, who would be taken from him at some point along tho trolley line and lynched. lie learned that several members of the crowd had gone over to Augusta ini the same ear with him, and that he was watched. so that their fellow law-1 breakers e.nihi be notified by telegraph I or telephone which ear lie took on his ; return with the nogro. .Vs >ooii as inlonncd of what was | brewing ■'!i | rill Raborn decided to leave j Wills in Augusta for safe keeping.
