Clark, Principal Father Kills Boy With Whip Hanle Spartanburg, May 3.-Special: The andle of a small whip, which Wm ohnson, Jr., a farmer residing on- the farm of Mr.. B. Md. Anderson, near Reidsville, wielded in administering a hastisement to his 10-year-old son, slipped from his hand and, going like n arrow, penetrated the skull of his infant child, held in the arms of its other, who stood near the door of the om, killing the baby al inost instant The mother screamed, "Will you killed our baby," and drawing the tck from the child's brain saw that the wound had proved fatal. When Johnson saw what had happened he f'ainted and remained unconscious un sil revived by neighbors. The accident is one of the most singular in the an nals of the county. The coroner's inquest held today re turned a verdict to the effect that death was accidental. Johnson, however, was committed to the county jail to await an investigation. He was released on bail to night. The whip used by \1r. Johnson had a short leather thong on the end of it, and as he drew it back to strike the boy, the leather came off so that when e made the lick the boy was r issed and the handle slipped readily from his hand, going, small end foremost, into the little baby's brain. Resolutions Passed by St. Peters ILodge No. 54 of Ancient Free Masons. The death of our worthy brother. Louis Apper, seems to remind us that death is certain, and that he has gone the road which our ancient brethern have gone, anid which we too must some day travel. In his death St. Peters Lodge, A F. M., nas lost a worthy, a loyal and a valuable member who for more than twenty- ive years has labored with us and helped to up lift the order of Masonry. The com munity in which he resided has lost a good citizen. The worthy poor and distressed have lost a helping and sympathizing friend. With the deepest love which should control the hearts and minds of all true masons, we deplore his loss, and we "cherish his inemory in our hearts; we commend his soul to God who gave it, and have consigned his body to earth whence it came." Resolved, that a page in our minute book be inscribed to his memory, that a copy of this tribute he presented to the family of departed brother, and that the same be given to the ne ws papers of the county for publication.

Fairey, is forever strickened from the roll of liv iog Confederate Veterans, for he too has crossed the river -and rests in the shade of the other shore. Comrade Fairey was born in Orangeburg county and in early mainhood moved to Clar endon and married Miss Mary Livin-ts ton, and in fulfillment of Scripture planted their vine and figtree, around it they lived an ideal life of domestic happiness, blessed with a large family of atiectionAte and dtvoted children!

Bradham Mr. Editor: It is a very unfortunate circumstance for any one to be involved in a contro versy with D. J, Bradham. I have just read what he terms his reply, which is no answer at all to my charges of gross mismanagement of the pension board. He begins by asserting I was censuring him alone when I only refered to him once in my whole criticism. It is so very similar to the action of a mother partridge when you approach her young. She flops around to draw atten tion from the others. But now let him answer me the following questions and not bore the public by evasive answers t and taking space too extensive in The Times. How much real es in Manning C does Bowman pay taxes on? And do j you dispute his having a bank deposit? t Do you know of your own knowledge t that W. W. Brailsford wa s r regularly mustered into the Confeder ate army before the close of hostilities-' You say in your reply that he was. I repeat ty assertion that he was not for an hour. You cover the Bowman episode by lauding his gallantry and creating sym pathy and sentiment over his dreadful 4 wound. It never crippled him or affect-E ed his health in after years at all. I Know it to be a fact that he ploxved for several years after the war and slept and ate like a plow boy, and he told a friend sume time ago that lbe cuts all of his house wood today. I never mention my wounds. I had the third button on my jacllet flattened at Manassas, July 21, 1881; just hurt enough to show I ticket turnin that tre $1most in ....., falls, 01 it hasb geysers side; Sa salmon; How Can Y Bet1 All title gue thir pers at le For t ift IIM- S was facing in the right direction. I was shot entirely through my left knee, E August 14, 1864. Dr. McLaurin of Sim ter, still living, buried his smallest B 'fingers in wound. Today I suffer in spells of bad weather and if I walk to much in day I have to put my foot in a di chair to get ease of knee muscles. aR I request that Capt. Bradham publish i the list of pensioners and opposite each er name the amount of his taxes and the - limit. that he must not exceed to entitle him to a pension. Now, do th is. and let the public say who is right. tb I will answer.Dr. Geigers card of in- fa dignation by reminding him that as a member of the board of pensions he m has his share of the responsibility for B every act of that board, and in the , light, of their censnrable behavior he o is made a party t-. _-rduct as repre- en hensible as stragling. He takes much as credit for his great activity in pe-suit in of his practice. and of his goodness and kindness in doinur it for twenty-one fo: years. As he does not claim having 1 done any pauper practice or given a sic vial of niedicine to the poor. which he th would have emphasized. I think I Lhi would really prefer his bank deposit to pe Bowman's. DW The doctor should facilitate himself th that he left his native shore where he co never would have done half so well, aad inf crossed (not straggled, oh, no,) into T. Clarendon. er It is but plain justice that D. J. Brad- si< ham should assume the burden of the a ins and short comings of the pension wi board, for he is the great mogul around sh whom the board sit like a class of school MI 3hildren waiting to recite their lessons. ou with this difference, however, that th Bradham will recite the lessons for hem. He has been an occupant of the court co touse for fifty years, sucking court en bouse pap, and is to day as much of a hi! ixture there as the furniture of that ce( building. dic I will correct right here the error of de I.

He was the darling in our home as be had been here with us since last November and was so sweet and loving until two week's ago, the darling suffered so much death was a relief to him, he looked just like he was asleep and he is just as sweet today in our minds as he ever was God doeth all things for the best.

Almost a general ilot took place here Saturday night among the negro men and women. From reports it seems that they all were drinking very freely and perhaps feeling good for the time be ing, and as a rosult of their good feel ing, Mayor Walker has some six or eight under arrest, and Magistrate Richbourg has some four or five in the city lockup. While no sentences have been imposed'on any of the law break ers, it is safe to say that some heavy fines or lengthy chain gang sentences will be passed, or the blind tiger busi ness in this town and community will never be stamped out. It is generaly kaftwn that recently a great deal of dynamite has been used in the lakes and streams of the Santee, for the purpose of killing fish This practice should by all means be stop ped, as it does not only kill what fish rises immediately after the explosion, but they die for the next day or two from the shock, and not only that, but it is a fact that it will destroy all the spawn within two hundred yards of the explosion takes 'place. With the many good law abiding citizens we have, we should certainly keep a watch on -he few panders and see that they do not continue this practice of dyna mite shooting any longer, for should the courts get in behind them it cer tainly means a heavy fine or a lengthy chain gang sentence.
