The Columbia Record states that it has been informed that Murphy, tin man who murdered Treasurer Copes of Orangebug in 1896, is now a soldier in the U. S. Army and serving in the Philippines. It will be recalled that he was sentenced to be hanged, but Governor Ellerbe commuted the sen tence to lift* imprisonment.

The community was shocked on Tues day evening at hearing of the sudden death of Mr. William E. McCarter, at Bath, where he had been employed as engineer of the narrow guage engine on the railway to the McNamee Kaolin mines. It seems that he had made his usual afternoon trip to the station, and had with him two section hands, whom he put off on the south side of the trolley crossing, to attend to the track, while he ration to Lie depot. At 6:25 o’clock tarled to return, running tin-engine up the two men, and carry them back to the works, j When the engine reached the men they were astonished at not seeing anybody | on it. They instantly sprang on it and found Mr. McCarter lying dead on the floor towards the wood in the tender. He had evidently fallen dead since he had started the engine back from the depot. Information of his death was at once telephoned to Aiken and his body brought here. Mr. McCarter was in the GSth year of his age, and was a man held in high re gard. He had been a good Confederate sol dier and served through the great war with the Governor’s Guards, of Colum bia, company A 2nd S. C. Vols. He left a widow and two sons, Messrs. William E. and James L. McCarter. The funeral notice will be found else where. Blind Tiger C&ught. Bettis Academy has since freedom been a great resort for the negroes on the Fourth of July, when the declara tion of independence is read,speeches made, etc. Although what the negroes have to do with the celebration of the Fourth, or the declaration, it is hard to comprehend, nevertheless, on Tuesday the usual crowd of 3000 or more was collected at “the academy” enjoying their usual orgies when the dispensary constable, James Crocker, put in an ap pearance and cast a damper over some of the proceedings by confiscating most of tin- spiritual refreshments the tiger had provided. It seems that he had anticipated that the tiger would be active in thatcrowd, and had gone there early in the morn ing, when he caught a negro running a slot machine, and selling the spiritual stuff. With the aid of constables Beech and Jones, who also came on the scene, he captured 99 half pint bottles of whiskey, the negro, and the machine, j and all were brought up to Aiken. The further patriotic proceeding at “the academy” interested this tiger no more. Appreciative Words for The Recorder. Mr. Arthur P.
