W. E. Jzsurssol. A HOME PROTECTED. Henry Tindal Shoots his Brother in-law. On last Saturday morning the news of JIe shooting of Judson M. Chewning by J. -A wy Tindal came like a clap of thunder sfto a clear sky. Both parties are well known here, and they married sisters and were thought to be on the best of terms as they were often seen in Manning together. The parties reside a few iniles from this town. Tindal did the shooting with a double barrel shot gun loaded with back shot, and thinking he had left Unewning dead, came to Manning and gave himself up to the Sheriff. Later he learned that Chewning was not dead, and he returned home to his family. It is alleged that the cause of the shoot. 4-ng of Chewning by Tindal is as follows: That Friday afternoon the day before the shooting while Tindal was absent from home, Uhewning went to his brother-in laws house and in the course of conversa tion with Mrs. Tindal, he found out from her that Tindal had gone some five miles and would not return home before night fall, and that there was no one else on the preuises with Mrs. indal but her three . Aittle children, the eldest being only four years old. Chewning approached her with an oven dra*n knife in his hand and threatened her with instant death if she nmade any outcry. He then had the poor woman so frightened that she was almost paralyzed and then he brutally assualted #nd ravished her; when his fiendish pur. .:3s-was accomplished. be told her that if she ever revealed to anybody what he had Aone, he would kill both herself and her husbanud~ ThuS evening Chewaing's wife and chil dren 1olisiWed later by Uhewning *went to 'Tiwnel'; house and spent the evening; In the meanthne Mr. Tinadal had arrived home and intertained his guests, not dreaming u:wkst bad-oocurred' during his absence. -When the Chewnings left findal's house Nzs; Tindai informed her husbanid and he being upblrn toAweroach his wife's as .ailant-that night, -wsaited until! the next morning Earty: Saturday morning he arose, loaded his gun and at once went to find Chewning, finding him he informea Chewning that he had comne to kill him, anid immediately shot. The first lire truca him abous-he face and as he reeled he.fired again, and struck him about the hip-. Chewning at last accounts is very seriously hurt and it is probable his wonaa may prove fatal. The Chewaing side of this deplorable '.ir is a egeplete contradiction of Tin bfal'a-taze-mn and he claims that Tindal gamne to his bea door while he was getting :eed for-hiaiock and invited him to go abbitbadng, and when he attempted to get up 1. go, 'Tindal shot him twice without any prorocation. Owing to the fact that this matter will be investigation in the courts we will make no uomnments nor mention otber matters in connedtioni with the case. Court meets in Manning February 24th. Judge 0. W.,Buchanan will pre'side. *Captua Thomas Wilson, president of the Wilson ania .bunmmerton railroad was in town last Monday. Captain W. C.

This case has been in court for some years and it is hoped that this is its last appearance. There is an array of counsel on both sides. Several years ago the Santee River Lumber Company purchased a large tract of land jan Clarendon County from members of the Brailsford family. Large mills were erect ed anid a large outlay of money made in impovements to the property. The com pany had been in operation for some time when Mr. R. B. James, whose mother was a Miss Brailsford, disdovered that he had a claim to one one-hundred and twentieth ownership in the property. He ordered the negroes to cease cutting lumber, etc. The ease is practically a suit to recover possession of the lands. For writing paper, pens and ink, at the lowest prices, go to Brockinton's.

On the morning of the seventeenth day of the present mouth, God in His mysteri ous but all-wise Providence called from this world to heaven Lula Fanny, wife of W. Scott Harvin, aged about thirty-seven years. Just in the prime of her beautiful womanhood she is taken from the cares and sorrows of life to that great reward that belong to the pure in heart. The ex change is a great gain to her. but oh! the aching void! the inestimable loss to those who loved her so and who now mourn for her. The husband, whose pride, energy. ambition, was ull centered in her; whose plans in life, if good, was approved and he encouraged to go forward; if bad, was checked, and persuaded to abandon them, and that by the unerring insight of right and wrong that come only to those of a pure and unselfish nature, such as I know she possessed. How shall we estimate the loss to the eight motherless children, from one just budding into womanhood down to the lit tle babe who took up the thread of life just as she laid it down? Oh. my God ! who could find thought or language to express what I eel for them? I cast around~ for words to write but find them not. I re volve the matter in my mind for some thoughts to pen, but instead of thoughts I find only bitter tears, and can only bow in humble submission to the God who over rules all things for good, and pray that they may become, when grown up, as pure in heart as their mother. I have known Lula since she was about twelve years old, and am free to say that she was one of the purest characters I have ever known-unusually faithful in every relation of life. To me zhe has been as child, sister and friend. In the latter she was as true as steel and as steadfast as the everlasting hills. In the time of adversity and when the cloud of trouble darkened the horizon of my life, she never wavered, but was always the same true and tried friend, such v* one sldom has on earth, possessing a character into which you might sow the seds of envy, hate and mat. ice, but the lowers and fruit thereof would be kindness, gentleness and love. And while in tears and sorrow we mourn her loss, we would not call her back, for now she is beyond all pain and sorrow, reunited to an infant gone before and as a link binding those left on earth to heaven, and let us hope that up there some day they will all, without a missing one, be joined together where parting will be no more.
