Bryant^ a well-to-do farmer of Aiken county, has been arrested on a warrant sworn out by his son, John C. Bryant, who charges his father with arson. The elder Bryant is in jail. Young Byrant's barn was burned on Friday night of last week. In the warrant it is alleged that the elder Bryant set fire to tbe building which was in close proximity to the dwelling house of John C. Bryant, his residence ~ - - j r* ^ being in danger irom tne nre. iue Bryants, father and son, are near neighbors, living a few miles from town. Son charging father with a crime of this nature, the penalty of which, if he is convicted, is death under the South 'Carolina law, has created somethiing of a sensation here. * - - ? Xt . 1 -I-fc ~ ? j?Tienas 01 me eiaer ?>iyd.uL uewaic that the charges grew out of a family row which has been on for some time past and which has estranged father and son. John M. Bryant is well known throughout the county. He is a man of means and regarded as a substantial farmer. 1 This is the second warrant chargx ing arson that Magistrate Smoak has issued in the last two weeks.

Aiken. May 22.?Advices, -.received here late this afternoon state that Mr. Matt Clark and seven children, of white Pond, are suffering from ptomaine poisoning, 'caused by eating canned goods. Two physicians have been in constant attendance,-but despite this fact, one child is already dead, and three others are not expected to live. For Mr. Clark and the remaining children, the physicians still hold *, out some hope. ' The afflictions visited upon this family during the past six days are most tragic and unusual. Just about a week ago, the father and ten of his children > were bitten bv a dog who had the rabies. _ ? The entire party was carried to Columbia for treatment and had just returned home, when this second blow fell upon them. The wife and mother is beside hers-elf with grief. DEADLY POISO> DOES WORK. Tonnsr TOtcon Banker Loses in Fis:ht Against Death. Macon, Ga., May 22.?After quietly facing for a week the inevitable result of his mistake in taking bichloride of mercury, thinking it a headache tablet, B. Sanders Walker, a prominent young banker and realty dealer, died this morning at 1.35 o'clock. Members of the family had gathered at his bedside j several davs ago when the doctors an- i i nounced there was no hope for him,1 and to them Mr. Walker gave no sign | of a tremor, but went to his death with a resignation that has rendered the j case more than usually interesting throughout the country. During the last day he was under the influence of opiates most of the time, but in conscious intervals gave evidence that he was not suffering. Scores of sympathetic messages were received by the family, and many of them were in the nature of inquiries as to the treatment being given Mr. "Walker. It has been impossible to find j out definitely what course the physi- i cians took, as they have refused to talk, except to briefly trace the pro- j gress of the poison s slow, but deadly effect. Members of the family are quoted as expressing much dissatisfaction with some of the reports that have originated in Macon. They declare that Mr. Walker remained constantly in his bed room after it was discovered that he had taken the fatal dose. TO CO>"FIKM: COLCOCK. Senate Not to Oppose domination as Collector.

"When this edition went to pre ss it was j ; impossible to verify reports that were j jin circulation. It-was stated by a resident of Suljlivans Island that several officers I were reported wounded, Capt Hanna i being one of them. He said that it j was difficult to learn just how many were wounded when the fragments of the cannon scattered among the soldiers close by. It was reported that the breech had not been properly closed after the insertion of a cartridge and that when the cap was exploded the breech was thrown back with terriffic force. The wounded men were rushed to the post hospital, where immediate attention was given them. Several Charleston physicians responding to the alarm, went hurriedly to the fort and assisted in taking care of the vie tims. WILL OPEN WITHIN TEAR. / James lT.
