Attempted Assassination. " ? - ? -rt-all tnnwn tb3.Hl Jriarns, cuiui cu, a w ?uv ?M shoemaker of Xewberry, was shot at a little after midnight Saturday night, in the southern section of the city, while on his way home. He lives below the Farmers' Oil mill in Drayton street. The would-be mur ierer used No. 8 shot and the load struck Harris in the face, wounding him seriously in both eyes. Dr. W. G. Hcuseal is attending the wounded man. It is thought he will lose one sye, but there is hope of saving the other. Sam is a well behaved negro and his white friends are sorry to hear of his misfortune and hope he will not have to suffer the loss of his ovPRig'ht. * After the shooting a freshly dis charged single-barrel shotgun was found just inside the field where the shooting occurred, and another un loaded single barrel shotgun was found nearby. Two weeks ago Harris was fired upon at about the same place, and three weeks ago Mr. Griffin, tlie night watchman at the Southern Oil mill, was shot in the face with a shotgun. The opinion of more than one man is that the same party did all the shooting, although Harris* wife says Sam didn't know that ha had an enemy. - "I-? w r\ Toff L)T. 2DQ Jfirs. VY .
