A. Zeigler, a promi nent citizen of Estill. Particulars concerning the killing are very hard to obtain, but It seems that the ne gro was stealing cotton from the gin house of Mr. Mason, when he was discovered by Mr. Zeigler and Mr. Mikeiil, who were passing the gin house in a buggy late at night. In searohlng the cotton room for the negro, it Is alleged that Mr. Zeigler was attacked by Green, the negro, who, it Is stated, had a knife in his hand. Mir.

The man died instantly. i"An inquest was held over the dead body and. the verdict of . the coroner's jury was that the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound from a gun in the hands Of one E. A. Zeigler, and it seems thai the jury termed the killing justifi able. Messrs.

NEW ROAD IS OPEN. The Bates Ferry Crossing is Now Ready For Travel. The Columbia Record says - the ferry over tbe Congaree river, at Buckhead Island, connecting Rich land and Calhoun counties, and op ening a direct road from Columbia to Orangeburg and Charleston, Is now in operation and is being gener ally used. ?From the Bates plantation on the Richland side a series of substantial bridges have been constructed over the "Dead Riven" to Buckhead Is land, and along this island for a mile or more there is a splendid road to the present channel of the Con garee, where the ferry is established. The flat boat which was in use fof about two years on the Wateree, near Camden, pending the erection of the bridge at that point, was pur chased some time- ago and poled to the Bates ferry, where it is now in use. On the Calhoun side an admirable road has been constructed through the swamp, with several good bridges over the wet weather streams, and from tbe swamp to the town of Fort Motte the road has bten put in excellent condition. On Sunday afternoon Mr. Bates, in an Oakland, took down to the ferry a party," cbns'sting of himself,1 Mr. J. P. 'Matthews, Mr. John W. Conder, Mr. Ira W. Williams and a repre sentative of The Record, and the trip from Columbia to Fort Motte, a distance of 33 miles, was made in two hours, including the crossing of the river on the ferry. For the present the ferry is be'ng operated as a privte enterprise, with 3 nominal toll charged to pay for the expense of tending the boat, but it is the desire of the promoters that It be taken over by Calhoun and Richland counties. Already the new route is being much used by all sorts of vehicles and its importance will shortly be thoroughly demonstrated. ?The opening of this ferry gives people the choice of two routes to Columbia from this city. The Hu gaboo Swamp route seems to be all right, and is now generally used. Most people will still prefer it be cause of the crossing at the ferry. "THE GIRL IN THE TAXI."

ITho local Improvement Associa tion has been kind enough to meet with us during the summer which gave us access to the new books in the library which we certainly en joyed.
