TUE DARGAS MURDER.
WHO FIRED THE "FATAL SHOT.
THE ORIGIS OF THE DIFFICULTY.
An Authentic Account of thc Dastardly
Affair. /'
ARREST OF THE MURD F/R E R
On Friday raovning Mr. William E. McMi
chael, deputy Sheriff of Orangcburg Coun?
ty, was informed that Chavcrs, thc man
who killed Mr. Dargan at Graham's Cross
Roads, on thc Northeastern Railroad, du?
ring a disturbance while Reyuohl's Menage?
rie was exhibiting at that place on Tues?
day night, 18th instant, was in town. Mr.
McMichael was at the courthouse when he
received the intormation, anti immediately
started in pursuit, summoning a posse comi
tatus as he hurried on. At the corner,near Tread?
well's Hotel, he got the first sight of Cha vers,
who was then half a mile from him, near the
old graveyard. An exciting race now en
Bued, Chavers running towards the river
swamp, hotly pursued by the sheriffs party,.
who fired seven shots at him. He was at
last caught in the swamp up to his neck in
water and brought to the courthouse, and
thence committed to jail. This information
we obtain from the Orangcburg News.
The following full and accurate statement of
the facts of the murder will be read with great
interest :
TO TUE EDITOR OT THE NEWS.
As so many different accounts are in circu?
lation as to thc manner in which Mr. T. J. K.
Dargan was murdered at Graham's Cross
Roads, on the 18th Instant, I feel it to be my
duty, as one present, and as the magistrate
who held the inquest over the body, to make a
brief statement of the real facts ol'the case:
I happened to be in Mr. Holliman's store on
that evening, on business. Not many minutes
after entering the store, a gentleman present
called my attention to the fact that Mr. Dargan
was getting into a difficulty on the outside. I
immediately stepped out, and found him curs?
ing and threatening to shoot some one, it be?
ing then about 10 o clock at night. I then pur
suaded him back into the store, and he went
in with me very quietly. I now gave my at?
tention to some other- business, and not many
minutes elapsed when I found Mr. Dargan and
a gentleman named Hammond, belonging to
the menagerie, both being inside the store,
were in a dispute, and the former threatening
to shoot the latter. I begged them to desist
and be quiet, but they, nevertheless, approach?
ed the door, as though going out to tight, when
Mr. Dargan attempted to push Mr. Ham?
mond out, telling him at the same time to go
and get his pistol. Mr. Hammond now said
he would not be shoved out, and that if he
went he would go as a gentleman, and came
back into the store. At this moment a color?
ed man, attached to the menagerie company,
on the outside, called Mr. Hammond and re?
quested him to go to the camp. Mr. H. opened
the door, and told him to go along and he
would come when he got ready. Then, imme?
diately afterwards. I heard a'voice, fiist out?
side the door, say, "What's thc matter P two
or three times; and then, "Let that man put
his head out here and I'll kill him." Mr. Dar?
gan immediately opened the door and stepped
out, saying, "Here I am," and without any
weapon, so far a6 could be seen, though he had
acted all the evening as If he had been well
armed. He had not more than uttered the
words, when a pistol, or some other firearm,
was fired, and Mr. Dargan came back quickly
into the store, and with his handover his heart
said to me, "Oh, c: ptain, I am shot." I took
immediate hold ol' him, really believing at
the time that he was jesting, and that he had
fired off a pistol himself, until I saw the signs
of blood upon his shirt bosom. I now saw
death depicted in his countenance, and he be?
gan to fail. Mr. Hammond took hold of him
on one side and I upon the other, and we laid
him down, and he expired in about two min?
utes.
I now issued a warrant to a special consta?
ble to summon a jury of Inquest. Thejury-as
sr m bled in about an hour, and I was careful to
select as jurymen those xyno" were not present,
leaying-fc?oSB present to be examined as wit?
nesses. The examination was concluded
about half-past four o'clock in thc morning,
and the following was the conclusion of the
verdict: "The jury aforesaid, upon then
oaths aforesaid, do say that the saul T. J. K
Dargan came to his death by a pistol shot, or
the shot of some other firearm, in the hands
of some person or persons unknown to the
jury." This verdict, of course, ended my
duties in the matter. If the Jury Had found
against any particular party, I should have
forthwith issued a warrant for his arrest. The
circumstances all pointed directly, and as it
seemed to me, incontrovertibly, to a man
named Chavers, with whom Mr. Dargan had
the first difficulty. These circumstances are
too numerous to relate here, but suffice it to
sav that several of the showmen who testified,
said the voice was like his. Other witnesses
said just before firing he remarked, "You
are the man that cursed me this evening," and
the colored man who came to the door to call
Mr. Hammond testified that he saw Chavcrs
standing near the door, and that he was thc
only man he saw..
The whole affair was certainly most melan?
choly and unfortunate; but I will state here,
that so far as I know no man connected with
the menagane is at all to blame except Cha?
vers. He acted most dastardly and cowardly, If
he was in fact the man who fired the fatal shot,
and that he was the man, I myself have not
the least doubt. Mr. Hammond acted through
ought the affair as a perfect gentleman. The
foreman of the jury examined the body, and
Mr. Dargan had no sort of weapon about his
person.

A correspondent of the Chronicle and Senti?
nel gives a gloomy account of mattere in War?
ren County since the return of the Radical sher?
iff, Norris, with Federal soldiers to back ii i m.
He has arrested two citizens already, and at?
tempted lo arrest Captain Hartley, one ol' the
editors of the Warrenton Clipper, who made
his escape. The citizens arrested are lu
iall at Warrenton. Norris is said to
te getting warrants ready for the ar?
rest of one hundred and fifty other citi?
zens charged with complicity in tito killing ot
that old leachre, Adkins, and of thc murder of
Darden. Norris has a guard around his office
all da}', goes to his meals guarded by soldiers
and has a guard around his house ail uight.
He has asked for cavalry to make arrests, and
the Federal officer In command having no cav?
alry is Impressing horses to mount his infan?
try. A great many people are leaving the
county, leaving their famille and property
entirely unprotected.
The Chronicle says:
From accounts received here yesterday
front Warrenton. affairs in tnat portion of the
sub-district seem to have improved a little
since the arrival of Major Kline, thc com?
mandant, in thc village on Thursday.
Chap Norris, the little tyrant of the countv,
has been made to give tip the office in thc
courthouse belonging to Colonel E. H. Pottle,
from which the latter was forcibly ejected on
thc first day ol' the arrival of the military
sheriff.
The two men. Hill and Ivy, who were ar?
rested by Norris' orders on last Sunday night,
will, we understand, be released from bonum. -
meutby Maj. Kline, either to-day or to-morrow.
No proof seems to exist ot' their guilt, and
tiley will be allowed to give bail for their ap?
pearance lo answer the charge which may be
made against them.
The citizeus of the county will hold a meet?
ing in the courthouse at Warrenton on next
Tuesday, the 25th instant, for thc purpose ol'
appointing a committee to proceed to Atlanta,
wait on General Terry and explain the condi?
tion of affairs in the county.
TUB MILITARY FARCE.
The Military Coard of inquiry appointed by
General Terry to investigate the charge of in?
eligibility preferred by Bullock against thu fif?
teen members of the House ot' Representa?
tives, met again in Atlanta on Friday.
The Attorney-General read the written charge
and specifications against the Hon. W. V. Price,
of Lum pk i u County.
Tile charge was ineligibility to a seat in the
House, and the specifications were that he had
been a member of the South Carolina Legisla?
ture in 1350 ; had been one of the wardens
of the town ot' Greenville, South Carolina,
in ls?.S ; and alter the war commenced he
again held office in that State, having been
a member of the South Carolina Legislature in
1863.
Alter hearing Hie testimony, the Attorney
General said he would admit that the charge
made against Colouel Price, with regard lu his
having been a member of the South Carolina
Legislature before the war, had not been sus?
tained by the testimony, and tue case was herc
announced closed.
The case against thc Hon. John B. Sorrells,
of Walton, was taken up, and he was ex?
amined.
On Saturday thc commission again met. A
relegram in the Constitutionalist, ot Sunday.
SAYS*
Sorrell's case was called, and thc charge
read, that he had held the office of tax collec?
tor previous to tho war.
The board declared all the cases closed, ex?
cept that of Wilcher, who is absent on account
of sickness.
At 4 o'clock P. M. thc argument of counsel
was heard, after which the" board adjourned
stiie die.
Thc situation ls hopeful, though nothing cer?
tain.
ORGANIZING.
The opinion was expressed in Atlanta on Fri?
day by a large majority of thc members of thc
Legislature, that when the House of Repre?
sentatives meets again on Monday (to-day) it
will bo allowed lo "organize at once, without
meeting with any further obstruction or inter
lerence from Bullock.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. .' /
The OrantreburgNews says: "On Saturday
last, the pupils of the school of Charles Hullo,
Esq., near Beaver Pond P. 0., Lexington Coun?
ty, were assembled at their schoolhouse for
thc examination at the close of their term.
While the merry ?arty were enjoyiag them?
selves, tho wind* rose and blew so violently
that dancing was suspended. Scarcely had the
dancers taken their Beats when a sudden burst
of wind swept over the building, and it fell
crashing to the earth, crushing beneath the
falling timbers its entire occupants, and piling
thenfin confusion and dismay, in a promiscu?
ous heap. We learn that about thirty persons
were injured, some severely, but none fatal 1 y."
STABBING AFKAIK.
On Monday, two freedmen, named respect?
ively Blunt and Dallas, had an altercation in
the * Georgetown market, which resulted in
Blunt stabbing Dallas, and iullicting rather a
serious wound. Blunt has been lodged in jaii
to await his trial. We have uot heard of Hie
fate of Dallas.
BLCE RIDGE RAILROAD.
The Oconcc Courier says: "It is now well
understood that a better route can bc lound for
this road than the old one. The new route
commences near thc depot, at this place, and
intersects with the original linc eighteen miles
west of this point. By this arrangement, the
Sturaphousc tunnel and thc two intermediate
ones can be avoided. Two miles in distance
can be saved by the change, and the cost til"
the new route over the completion of the old
one is about the same. Wu rejoice in being
able to make this statement by authority. It will
destroy the prejudice engendered against this
enterprise on account ol the assumed imprac?
ticability of boring through the Stumphousc
tunnel. Besides, we have assurances from
more quarters than one, that the road will be
completed at an early day. Locally, the pro?
posed change of route will throw the track iu
or near town, and with it a chang? ol' depot.'

IWAN GUANOS,
SOLUBLE MANURES,
AND
SULPHURIC A. C IB *
Manufactured at Charleston, S. C.,.under the direction of Dr. N. A. PRATT, Chemist, for the Sulphu?
ric Acid and Superphosphate Comprfny. SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, In the form of SOLUBLE:
PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or DISSOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE, Is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and
these arc valuable In the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is lu them.
The Immeuse deposits of Phosphatlc Guanos which were discovered ia 1SC7 lu South Carolina, by
Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which ls made available as a Fertilizer
by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such aconditionljas to make its Insolo
ble phosphate soluble In water, and thus made capable of being taken up by growing plants. The
Insoluble Phosphate found In aDy commercial Fertilizer ls of no more value to thc plant than the
original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer
contains, the less the quantity required per acre, and consequently thc cheapest Fertilizer is that
containing thc highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate.
Impressed with these truths, the Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Company have erected at
Charleston tbc first extensive Acid Chambers south of Baltimore, and are able to offer to planters
the highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate of Lime known In any market.
