C , shot and seriously wounded Charlie Jenkins, auother negro, in this city Thursday night about 10 o'clock and tuen gave Chief Dlllingbam and his men a long chase and the Chief a i 'hot time" anda CIOBB call before he waB captured. The shooting waa done on Orr street, near'ho aland pipo, and the causo was a i row ivor a dusky damsel also recently < from v?reenville, at whom, it is said, Bur ton tired two parting salutes without effect. The Chief bad gone calling (be is single) on a young lady, but wan soon notified and on the run. Jumping Into a buggy with Policeman King at the square ne drove to Broyles crossing, on the Belton road, Instructed King to return to thc city and seurch several houses, whllo he walk ed the i ail road back The Chief was just entering tb? city when he discovered a man coming leisurely toward him. The moon waa shining brightly and tho negro, as ll ptoved to be, must have seen the uniform of the Chief, but he made no attempt to run. The Chief halted bim an/i asked his came The negro replied, Hen ry Wbitner. The quiet manner in which the negro replied threw th? Chief off bis guard and be approached him without sus pecting he was the right man. In nn instant, however, he recognized him and reached for bis pistol, but Burton WHB fully aa quick, and, springing at the Chief, lockte him in a vtcelikn embrace. The Chief hus just recovered from a Bpell of fevor and soon found he wasovormatehed. He could not draw his pistol and cculd not throw his mau. The negro lought like a demon, and. liketwo wPd beasts, each btroyo for the mastery with nothing to wituesa tho struggle but tho glilloriug moo::, lt bogau lo look like a fight fur life, lim turning point being which would iirst bo able to draw his pistol. Tho strug gle was long and bard, lint B ) glosa thal not ono blow wus given from either. The t'liiet fluidly felt his strength failing and clinched his man with the deteNuinalioii to hold him, boping Home one would come to his assistance, hut realizing the Chief'? object, tho negro made a desperato effort und the next instant the Chief WSB flat of tits back. In the tali, his pistol fell from his pocket, and quickly picked up by the negro, and before he could recover his fooling the Chief found, himself looking down the barrel of his own weapon and completely at the mercy of the negro. With cool determination the Chief laced his man, expecting every moment to be bia last, but his brave defiance unaettled the nerves of the negro and he fled, leav ing hla hat behind him. Returning to the city the Chief again armed himself, and, procuring a horse, rode to Belton as fast aa the animal could carry bim, and leaving the horse at Belton, started back afoot on the railroad track, hoping to herd bia man off. Io the mean- " time, however, the negro had been captur ed four miles Irom the city on the farm of Mr. .Toase Robbins. The Chief and the prisoner reached the city about tbs same time. Burton la lodged in jail and Charlie Jenkins, the wounded man, ia lying at his home in a very precarious condition. Both the negroes are young-not exceed ing twenty-five The Chief is terribly sore from bia fight but ia at hla post of duty. . . Another Negro Homicide, Dock McGee shot and killed Dump Sherard at midday last Tbnraday, near Holland's Store, in this County. The bullet entered the left breast, passed through the heart and death W?? Instan taneous McGee is about - twenty-five years old and Sherard was probably sixty. McGee was passionately enamored of Sherard's daughter, to which Sherard ob jected, and be had repeatedly ordered Mc Gee to cease bia attentions and keep away (rom bis bouse, but McGee continued ids visits. He was there the Wednesday night before the shooting, bad some word? with Shwrard, waa ordered away and icc. Thursday nt midday. In the "absence of Sherard, ho returned and met tho daugh ter. Shortly attorw,ards ?bo discovered Sherard nnd hla son, who ia grown, coming und advised McGee to leave, which lu? did. Finding that McGee had been therein their ah&etice and just left, Sherard and bit son followed and overtook him about c hundred yards from the house. Hot words passed between them, followed by ueveral shots. Saut. Sherard, the son, says McGee fired first, and McGee Bays four shots were fired at him before be fired, and when he saw Dump Sherard full ho ran. McGee made hla way .to Starr 8taftion im mediately after the shooting, boarded the freight train going south, spent the night at McCormick and next morning took the train for Augusta.

Didn't.you see tho Invitations written on a shuck? Tboy were out of wight. "Well, I tall you: Albert, von know, is a little fellow, but he made Iii bushels of corn, and ho beard the old folks talking about corn shucking and .''possum" hunting and alter tho corn was gathored bo asked his papa and Burt McCully to go "'pos sum'' hunting with bim. Well, they lixcd up with a nigger and doga and went out to Sunset Forest and got Lang don and little Joe Fret well and started out. Hut they kicked up such a fuss blowing horns and talking and nailing Ibo dogs, it's a wonder they didn't scare all tho "'possums" out ol'the forest but they didn't. They hadn't gone far till the dogs took alter something and run it round and round, back toward tho house and there troed it. Well, sir, you should have aeon them boys. rl bey yelled and yelled and throw sticks at it and thou sent the nigger up tho tree, lie aot moat to it, and just as ho put bin hand out to grab it, it said "mew-mew." They had treed a cat. You should havo soon how hacked thom follows wero, and Burt Mc Cully was tho worst hacked fellow in the crowd. Well, they tried it again and the dogs soon treed again, and that time it was a surd enough '-"possum," and a dandy, and the boys ?took it home and fastened it up and went to bed. Friday night came and we wont to the shucking and I tell you they had things lixed up in dandy style. The table was set out lu the back yard, and it was just loaded down v. h good things, and there was the '"possum" cooked good and brown with potatoes all around him and a big red apple stuck in his mouth, and they had "punkins" hollowed out and bolos punched in 'em for nose and eyes and a mouth, and they nad these "pun kins'* bungon the trees all around, and there was the pile ot corn.

The ball entered the right temple and, crash ing throe*%h the brain, passed out through the left if ai pie. Death must have been Instantaneous. The deceased was a Miss Crain, daugh ter of J.

The wife and four children-two boyB and two glrlB, rang ing in ago from eleven to two year*-re? dded in Anderson. Tbs deceased has been in bad health for many years, and nad several timos stated to different friends that unless who soon regained her health she would end bar existence, as nbc could not enduro tho pain abo Buf fered. A week ago last Sunday her suf ferings became inore intenso and confined her to her room. List Thursday or Fri lay sb? telegraphed Prof. Harmison to return to Anderson, and ho loft Nashville nt 11 o'clock Friday night and arrived here at i> o'clock Saturday afternoon'. He found bia wife quito ill and suffering, but Hbo said she was better than ?he h*ad been. About 10 o'dook, ot the request of Mrs. Harmison, Prof. Harmison called on the physician; Dr. Harris, who lived near, and secured a dose of medicine in tended to quiet her nerves. Hastening baok, the medi?me was given, and in a short time she seemed to be resting quietly. About ll o'dock she insisted that her husband go into the adjoining room, which communicated by a door to ber bedroom, and He down. This he fi nally consented to do, and throwing him self on a lounge soon fell sBleop. Wak ing suddenly, ne hastened into his wife's room and 'to her bed, and extending his .hand, he touohed her face, which felt cold and clammy. Hur riedly turning up the light, vthe horrible trnth was revealed to him. She waa a corpse, with a deadly bullet hole through her brain and her face and the pillows covered with blood. Looking at the dook Bhortly afterwards the hands indicated half-past one. Friends were summoned, but the only aid they could render was to tenderly prepare the body for the grave. The spirit had taken ita flfght. The brain that bad planned and the hand which nad executed the dread ful deed were cold and lifeless. This has been a terrible shook to the people of Anderson. Mrs. Harmison waa a good woman, and those who knew ber intimately appreciated and loved her. Hera was one of those exquisitely fine temperaments, capable of deepest feelings, highly sensitive and ambitious, and her long UlnesB and suffering, coupled with the struggle necessary to maintain the position she felt she waa entitled to occu py, dethroned reason and loft the disor dered Intellect freo to plan Ita own. de struction.
