C, shot and seriously wounded Charlie Jenkin?, another negro, in this city Thursday night about 10 o'clock and then gave Chief Dillingham and his men a long chase and the Chief a ''hot time" and ? close call before he was captured. The shooting was done on Orr street, near the "stand pipe, and tbe cause was a row over a dusky damsel also recently from Greenville, at whom, it is said, Bur ton fired two .parting salutes without effeet. The Chief had gone calling (he is single) on a young lady, but was soon notified and on the run. Jumping into a buggy with Policeman King at tbe square ne drove to Broyles crossing, on the Belton road, instructed King to return to the city and search several bouses, while he walk ed tbe railroad back The Chief was just entering the city when he discovered a man coming leisurely toward bim. The moon was shining brightly and tbe negro, as It ptoved to be, must have seen tbe uniform of the Chief, but he made no attempt to run. The Chief halted him and as tied his name The negro replied, Hen ry Whitner. The quiet manner in which tbe negro replied tnrew ths Chief off his guard and he approached him without sus pecting be was tbe right man. In an instant, however, be recognized him and reached for his pistol, but Barten was fully as quick, and, springirg at the Chief, locked him in a vicelike embrace. The Chief has just recovered from a epeltof fever and soon found he was overmatched. He could notdraw bis pistol &Dd cculd not throw his man. The negro fought like a demon, and. like'two wild beasts, each strove for the uiasterj with nothing to wituess tho struggi* bui the .glittering mooc. It began to look like a fi^bt lor life, the turning point being which would first be able to draw bis pistol. Thr strug gle was long and hard, but s> clone thai not one blow wa9 given from either. The Chief finely felt his: strength failing und clinched bis man with the determination to hold him, hoping nome one would come to bis assistance, bet realizing the Chief's object, the negro made a desperato ifo^t and the noxt instant; the Chief was flat of bis back. In the fall, his pistol felt from bis pocket, and quickly picked up oy tbe 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 tbe negro. With cool determination the Chief laced, bis man, expecting every moment to be hie last, but bis brave defiance unsettled tbe nerves of the negro and he fled, leav ing his hat behind him. Returning to the city the Chief again armed himself, and, procuring a horse, rode to Belton as fast as the animal could carry him, and leaving the horse at Belton, started back afoot on tbe railroad track, hoping to head bis man off. In the mean time, however, the negro had been captur ed four miles trota tbo city on tbe farm of Mr. Jesse Robbins. The Chief aod tbe prisoner reached the city about th? same time. Burton is lodged iu jail and Charlie Jenkins, the wounded man, is lying at his home in a very precarious condition. \ Both the negroes are young?not exceed ing twenty-five Tbe Chief is terribly sore from bis fight but is at his post of duty. Another Negro Homicide. Dock McGee ehot and killed Dump Sherard at midday last Thnraday. near Holland's Store, in this County. The bullet entered the loft breast, passed through tbe heart and death w?.s instan taneous. McGee is about twenty-five yearn 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 cense his attentions and keep away from his bouse, but McGee continued bis visit?. He was there the Wednesday night before the shooting, bad some words with Sherard, was ordered awny and lofi. Thursday nt midday, in tbe^absonce of Sherard, hu returned and met tbe daugh ter. Shortly afterwards she discovered Sherard and Ids son, who is grown, coming and advised McGee to leave, which he did. Finding that McGcO bad been there in tlirir absence and just left, Sherard aud bis son followed and overtook him about a hundred yards from tho house. Hot words pasftd between them, followed in severai shots. Sam. Sherard. the son, says Mctiee fired tmt, and McGee says four shots were tired ai bini before Le tired, and when be saw Dump Sherard full be ran. McGee made bis way to Starr Station im mediately after tbe shooting, boarded the freight train going south, spent tbe night at McCormick and next morning took tbe train for Auguste. While enroute between Plumb Branch and Parksville, he was identified by Mr. M. L. Red, one of tbe railway officials, who notified Mr. A. V. Morgan, Supeiintendent of convicts in Edgefleld Coubty, who happened to be on the train, and he immediately arrested McGee and transfering him to tbe north bound train from Augusta brought bim to Anderson Friday night. McGoe was well dre&Kfed and bad on bis person a couple of pistols and some money. He claims tbe eh?oting was done in self defense. ? *"I suppose your daughter is just like mine?rather ride awheel than to eat." "Not exactly ; but she would rather ride a wheel than to i-ook.'' .Iuvenile Corn Shucking. Talk about your ante-bellum days and your'"possum" bunting and your corn shuckings and your jig and clog dancing and your "punkin" scare beads and yonr " 'possum and tater" suppers; if you wore not at Albert Means' 'possum hunt and his corn shucking last Friday night, you just simply weren't in it, and missed the biggest time of your life. Didn't you see the invitations written on a shuck? Thoy were out of sight. Well, I tall you: Albert, you know, is a little fellow, but he made ]"> bushels of corn, and he heard the old folks talking about corn shucking and '"possum" hunting and- after the corn was gathered he asked bis papa and Burt McCully to go " 'pos sum" hunting with him. Well, they fixed up with a nigger and dogs and went out to Sunsot Forest and got Lang don and little Joe Frotwell and started out. But they kicked up such a fuss blowing horns and talking and calling the dogs, it's a wonder they didn't scare all the '"possums" out of the forest, but they didn't. They hadn't gone far till the dogs took after something and run it round and round, bank toward the bouso and there treed it. Well. 6ir, you should have seen them boys. They yolled and yelled and throw sticks at it and then sent the nigger up the tree. Ho got most to it, and just as he put hie band out to grab it, it' said "mew-mew." They had treed a cat. Yen should have seen how hacked them fellows were, and Burt Mc Cully was the worst hacked fellow in the crowd. Well, they tried it again and the dogs soon treed again, and that time it was a sure enough '"possum," anda dandy, and the boys-took it home and fastened it up and went to bed. / Friday night came and we went to the shucking and I tell you they had things fixed op in dandy style. The table was set out in the back yard, and it was just loaded down with good things, and there was the '"possum" cocked good and brown with potatoes all around him and a big red apple stuck in his mouth, and they had "punkins" hollowed out and holes punched in 'em for nose and eyes and a mouth, and they had these "pun kins" hung on the trees all around, and there was the pile ol corn. Well, I'll tell you who was there: Lit tle Sam Orr. Joe Cunningham, Ola Bur ns, Wilkes Webb, Foster Jones, Cliff. Lig?n, M. Carlilse, Frank Mauldin, Charlie Mauldin, Ernest Johnson, John Peoples, Langdon Fretwell. Raymond Fretwell, little Joo Fretwell, Joe Wilhite, Feasfer Tribble, Sloan Maxwell, Wilet Sloan, E. B. Murray, Duff Murray, Ed. Barton, Walter Barton, and some grown folks. A We lit into that corn and Bhucked it in no time. Sam Orr got the prize for red ears, but w? fellows liked to shelled out all that corn trying to beat him to it. Well, we then hit the supper and made it fly, and every fellow got a. whole shuck full of candy as a souvenir. When we fellows got through Mr. A. G. Means and Burt McCully finished the " 'possum" and we Lad two "coons" up there and we put 'em to dancing, and of all the music and jig dancing and clog dancing wo had it. I tell you, we fellows eat fried chicken and fruit and drank more.lem onade-Gee whiz ! we had a "hot time." Say, I don't like 'possum much, do you? Suicide of Mrs. Harmison. Mrs. Florence Lee Harmison. wife of Prof. J. G. Harmison, committed suicide Saturday night last by shooting herself through the temples with a pistol. The ball entered the right temple and, crash ing through the brain, passod out through the left temple. Death must ha.ve been instantaneous. The deceased was a Miss Crain, daugh ter of J. J. Crain, ol Sedalia, Missouri, and was about 37 years of age. Both parents are now living in Sedalia. The husband. Prof. J. G. Harmison, is from Canton, 111. They moved to Anderson about two years ago from Rome, Ga. Prof. Harmison is an adept penman and ar" t, and since last April has held a po Hit.on in Draughon's Business College, in Nashville, Tenn. The wife and four children?two boys and two girla, rang ing in age from eleven to two yeara?re* sided in Anderson. The deceased has been in bad Health for many years, and had several time3 stated to different friends that unless she soon regained her health she would end her existence, as she could not enduro t'ho pain she suf fered. A week ago last Sunday her suf ferings became more intenso and confined her to her room. List Thursday or Fri day sho telegraphed Prof. Harmisou to return to Anderson, and ho left Nashville at 11 o'clock Friday night and arrived here at 0 o'clock Saturday afternoon. He found his wife quito ill and suffering, but she said she was better than she had been. About 10 o'clock, at 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 back, the medicine was given, and in a short time she seemed to be resting quietly. About 11 o'clock she insisted that her husband go into the adjoining room, which communicated by a door to her bedroom, and lie down. Tbis he fi nally consented to do, and throwing him self on a lounge soon fell asleep. Wak ing suddenly, he hastened into his wife's room and to her bed, and extending his thand he touched her face, which felt cold and clammy. Hur riedly turning up the light, *the horrible truth was revealed to him. She was a corpse, with a deadly bullet bole through her brain and her face and the pillows covered with blood. Looking at the clock shortly 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 its flight. The brain that bad planned and the hand which had executed the dread ful deed were cold and lifeless. This has been a terrible shock to the people of Anderson. Mrs. Harmison was a good woman, and those who knew her intimately appreciated and loved her. Hers was one of those exquisitely fine temperaments', capable of deep?st feelings, highly sensitive and ambitious, and her long illness and suffering, coupled with the struggle necessary to maintain the position elie felt she was entitled to occu py, dethronod reason and left the disor dered intellect freo to plan its own de struction. Let us speak not and think not unkindly of the dead. She was a pure, good woman, possessing very many virtues und few faults. Crazed from sol ferini:, she was not responsible for the act which led her through tho dark door of death to a life of eternity. The reuiuins were interred in '.ho Silver Brook Cemetery Sunday afternoon after a.solemn and impressive l'onerai .servie? at the Methodist Church, ol which she was a member, and the funeral and burial was attended by a great number ol' sorrowing friends. * Prof. Harmison will shortly return to the duties of his position in Nashville and take the lour children with him. The lit tle tellows are now in the caro of kind friends, immediato neighbors of tho de ceased. Ex pressions of the deepest sym pathy for the bereaved husband and chil dren are heard in ail parts of the city. A Card of Thanks. We desire to tender our heartlelt thanks to our friends and neighbors for the kind ness and sympathy shown us in the brief illness and death of our little daughter, Nannie, which occurred on the morning of Oct. o, 1S!?7. Inasmuch as she was a little bright star in our home, it seems dark to know that she will never more be with us here. But wo thank our dear Heavenly Father that wo can humbly submit to his blessed will and feel tho as surance that our dear little Nannie is safe in heaven where wo hope to meet her and all our dear friends who showed us so much* sympalby in this dark hour of nur bereavement.
