Mr. Barksdale refused to buy the negro Crawford's H cotton seed on the terms desired by A Crawford and after Mr. Barksdale had W entered, the negro began cursing and abusing Mr. Barksdale, who in company with some friends went in search oi cue ucgro w ?-uiy mm. The negro ran to a gin house and hid in the boiler room. The white people, friends of Mr. Barksdale, rushed in after him, whereupon Crawfora struck one of them, Mr. M. B. Canu, a terrific blow on the head with a sledge hammer. Infuriated at this the brothers of Mr. Cann closed in on Crawford and cut him severely with knives. In the general melee two of the Cann brothers were cut in the hand either by the negro or themselves, it is not known which. The wounded negro Crawford was taVci to jail and locked up and two hours later was taken out by a large crown of citizens of the county and hung. ^ The negro is dead and Mr. M. B. Cann , is in a very precarious condition and is not expected to live. After the lynching everything quieted down and the country negroes wno w^ere ;n town left for home at once. At present normal conditions seem to prevail and no further trouble is anti* J cipated as the only negro implicated rfk is dead. Anthony Crawford was a A well-to-do negro and owned consider able land on Little river. Mr. Cann H and Mr. Barksdale are both good men P^and reputable citizens. STATE COLLEGE LOSES BUILDING - 0 Morrill Hall, Valued at Thirty Thousand Dollars, One-half Covered by Insurance. Orangeburg, Oct. 21.?The main dormintory at tlie State Colored college, known as Morrill hall, vas det stroyed by fire at 8:45 o'clock to r night. The building was of wooden construction and five stories in height. It was the last wooden building at the college, the others having been destroyed by fire. Three buildings have been ? burned in the - V last four years. Last year the col4 lege suffered a heavy loss by fire and two brick dormitories have just been completed to replace burned buildings. Tn fhe hnildine burned tonight % were the auditorium, the chemical laboratory, most of the class rooms and 150 rooms for students. None v of the students were injured. Some of the furniture was saved and many of the students escaped with a portion of their personal effects. It is thought that the fire was of incendiary origin. It sorted in an iinused room on the fifth floor where th^re were no electric fixtures or radiator. The building was valued at $30,000 ?

It is easily applied without rubbing. Rubbing is unnecessary, as Sloan's Liniment quickly penetrates I to the seat of trouble.

L'ntil recently the building was insured in the sum of $25,000, but as it was tne only remaining wooden building in the college plant the insrance com panies some time ago declined 10 reinsure it for more than $15,000.
