Stevenson, who owns a truck farm about; two miles north of the city, carno down to tho city, accompanied by bia little son, with a load of vegetables, and it waa about, 9 30 o'clock when he started on bia return home. He had not gone far when he no ticed John Williams, a negro man ol'thin city, following him. The negro's acliona aroused the suspicions of Mr. Stevenson, who told bia son to drive the team, whilu he would keer> ' lose watch of both aidea of the road, the negro in the meantime hav ing passed them In hia wagon Mr. Stev enson had a piece ol'iron piping, which he picked up. They drovp on until they reached a body of woods, when the negro suddenly jumped out and demanded Mr. Stevenson to halt, and attempted to crawl into the wagon As he did so Mr. Steveu aon struck him across the head wiih the piece of piping, inflicting a painful wound and cutting a gash five or Bix inches across the negro's skull.

He failed in getting any money in this way, and no doubt thought he could kill Mr. Stevenson and son and get some money. The many friends of Mr. James M. Ba ker in this and Abbeville Counties, will read with interest the following paragraph clipped from the speoial correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle in Washington, D. C.: "The South Carolina banquet, last week, was a pronounced success. Sena tor Lodge made, in his speech on that oo ca8sion, stille pleasant historical allusions to tho points of contact between the Pal metto and Old Bay 8tates. Mr. James M. Baker, assistant librarian of the Senate, was very active in this entertainment. I understand that there is some curiosity as to bow be contrived to retain his position atter the recent "dicker,"'which resulted in numerous Democratic discharges. To satisfy any inquiry on the subject I may briefly say that some weeks ago theDemo cratic and Republican steering committees agreed to a revision of Senate patronage, whereby oach Senator was to have, beside bis secretary, a messenger, and the placing nfcertaln positions filled by men specially fitted for their work on a civil service ba sis Among the latter retentions waa Mr. Baker, as assistant librarian. Mr* Baker has displayed so much ability, tact and alertness that his retention came as a re? ward of merit and I, along with numerous friends, congratulate him on the fortunate i esult. Mr. Baker is a most clever gentle man, makes a friend of every acquaint ance, and. we, too, join in extending our congratulations. A Sad Ending of a Young Man's Life. Last night, a few minutes before 9 o'clock, the sound of two pistol shots were heard on the campus in the rear of the Patrick Military Institute, and imme diately following loud groans were heard by the people living near the south side of the campus and by one or two cadets occupying rooms on the south side of the barracks. L. E. Norr.yce, W. S. Haynie and others rushed out of their bornes in tho direction where the pistol shots and groans were heard. In the meantime, several of the cadets had rushed out of the barracks with a lantern, and in one hundred yards of the barracks and just in the rear of the Institute building, found Cadet R. Clarence Reeves, of Wil liamsburg County. S. C., lying on bis back on tbe ground gasping for breath, with his pistol, with two chambers emp ty, lying near his right side. Capt. J. M. Patrick was soon on the ground, and, as it had began raining, the remains were placed on a cot and carried into the bar racks. At tbesame time physicians were sent for, but the unfortunate boy bad breached his last before his comrades bad reached the barracks with his body. Dr J. C. Harris was the first physician to reach the barracks and was Boon follow ed by Dr. Nardin. They examined the body and only one wound was found, which was on the left side about three in ches below the nipple, or more directly under the arm pit. On the right side, but a little above the entrance of the ball on the opposite side, the ball was found lodged under the skin, having passed clear through the body. Magistrate Featherstone was sent for and immediately summoned a jury and proceeded with the inquest. All the wit nesses examined corroborated each other in their testimony, and the jury found a verdict to the effect that tbe deceased came to bis death by bis own hand, either accidentally or Intentionally. The young man was about 17 years of age and was one of the most popular ca dets of the Institute, all of his comrades speaking of him as a generous, noble hearted boy. He had told several of his comrades that be would be in his grave in less than six months, but they consid ered the assertion as a joke. While it is against the rules of the In stitute for the cadets to own or have a pistol in their possession, the deceased bad managed to keep his concealed from the officers. The pistol that was found by bis side was identified by his room mate as belonging to the deceased. It was a 32-caiibre, self-acting, and two chambers were empty. The ball extrai ts] from his body fitted the pistol. Dr. Harria testified that the ball had evident ly gone through both heart and lungs. The deceased was left-handed, and it 1B supposed that the second shot was fired in the air by the contraction of tbe mus cles of his left hand, caused by the wound, as he was falling to the ground. The young man ate a hearty supper at 7.30 p. m. and seemed to be in his usual good humor up to the time when he was last seen alive. He left bis room in his shirt sleeves and wearing nothing on his bead, telling his room-mate that he would bo back in a few minutes. Several motived for his self-destruction have been mentioned, but there is noth ing definite about them. His remains were shipped to his home this morning, under the escort of Capt. Hardin, of the Institute. . Sommer Homes and Resorts.
