In the figures on the whiskey question seven precincts had not been hoard from. . toing to Enforce the Law. \ The city authorities are enforcing the ordinance against persons leaving their horses and mules unsecured on the 5ublic square or streets of the city, 'he least fine fixed by the Ordinance is five dollars, and the Mayor instructed the police to take charge of all unse cured stock and have a negro to hold them until the arrival of the. owner who could then pay 25 cents to the dar key for holding his animal or give bond for his appearance before the Mayor's Court. It is needless to say that the quarter is always p^aid, rather than take chances on paying $5. We warn our friends who are m the habit of leaving their stock unhitched, even for a few moments, to stop it or the police will take charge of their teams. The present mild reminder of 25 cents will oe discontinued as soon as 'the public is notified of the enforcement of the .ordinance, when offenders will have to .settle at the Mayor's Court. It is a good ordinance and its stringent en forcement is in behalf of the property and lives of persons who may be m the city. Several horses were running away on the square at one time the other day, and a runaway team on a -crowded street or square is an exceed ingly dangerous thing. Yoong Men's Business League.

Johnson, while attempting to arrest Orange McGreer, colored, was forced to use his pistol with deadly effect. Several days ago McGreer, who was a bad character, met A. J. Williams, one of our citizens, in the street. Both were driving vehiclos, and McGreer took occa sion to abuse Mr. William:-* in the severest terms because he (Mr. Williams) would not give McGreer all the street. He even jumped from his buggy and, arming himself with rocks, started for Mr. Wil liams, who drove off with his little chil dren for the safety of their lives. It was not until to-day that McGreer came to town since the difficulty, and when Officer Johnson went to arrest him near the Southern Railway depot, McGreer, who was armed with ja hoe, struck Johnson three severe blows, breaking the hoe handle into splinters. Johnson shot three times after the Negro bad struck him. One ball took effect in the left Bide and produced death in less than three minutes. Mr. Johnson received Home severe bruises about tba head and arms. The sheriff of Anderson was telephoned for. Immediately after the killing Mr. Johnson surrendered to Magistrate Acker. A jury of inquest was held this afternoon, and the coroner's jury returned a ver dict "that the deceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound at the hands of J. A. Johnson, an officer of the law, in the discharge of his duty and that the killing was entirely justifiable and in self defence." Mr. Johnson went to Abbeville this afternoon accompanied by his attorney, Hon. G. E. Prince, and Judge Klugh granted him bail in the tum of $1,000. Citizens hero were much excited to night by the appearance in town of many negroes and there were rumors of a pur pose to burn the town. McGreer has a wide connection and his relatives are said to be much incensed by his death. Two hundred white men marched over here from Pelzer at 8 o'clock to give help if it was needed.
