Berry went to Marion by
automobile, boarded a special train
waiting at the depot, accompanied
his daughter to Dr. McI>eod's Infirmary
and then phoned his wife
that the operation had been performed
and that the young lady was
resting easily. All of this was accomplished
in three hours. Miss.
Berry was taken sudddenly
Hi at her home in Marion. I
The local physicians phoned Dr.
McLeod that she would be brought j
over on a special train for an operation.
Immediately after receiving
notice of his daughter's illness
by phone and the purpose of the |
physicians to take her to Florence
Mr. Berry left for Marion. When ;
he arrived there the train was
waiting at the station. The run
f>*om Marion to Florence was made
in 33 minutes, and three hours after
he left Dillon the operation had
been performed and Miss Berry
was recovering from the effects of
the ether. Miss Berry is recovering
rapidly and will be able to return
in a few days. Such a feat
would have been imiiossible a few
years ago.
Court of Common l'leas.
The fall term of the Court of
Common Fleas convened Monday
with Judge DeVore presiding. Up
to the hour of going to press very
little progress had been made.
There are over a hundred cases on
the docket and it is not likely that
half of them will be disposed of at
ithis term. Only two cases had
been heard up to noon yesterday.
The case of Brack vs. Western Union
Telegraph Co., occupied the
time of the court Monday and resulted
in a verdict for the defend- 1
ant company. The case of the Pee
!t?ee Naval Stores Co. vs. R. P.
Hamer, Jr., was given to the jury
yesterday afternoon. Court, will be
In session two weeks.
Among the new concerns that
have opened business in Dillon recently
is the "Quality Grocery."
The proprietor is Mr. W. W. Owen,
a son of Rev. Jno. O. Owen and a
causin of Rev. W. C. Owen, at Lit- I
tie Rock. Mr. Owen has been in |
business at Mullins for the past
eight years and is a gentleman* of !
W wide experience in his line. He will '

While Mm Shoot* Negro.
A negro was shot by a white man
named Honneycut on Mr. J. C. Cot- '
[.Ingham's place at Gallavon Friday
night. Honneycut had had a row
with the negro and went to his
louse for the purpose of settling or 11
-euewtng the difficulty. The negro n
lammed the door in Honneycut's h
ace and the white man pulled his 1
Jlstol and began shooting through 1
he door. One of the bullets took y
?ffect in the negro's hand and an- 81
>ther struck one of the negro's chil- ^
iren. Neither is seriously hurt d
-lonneycut took leg bail and when ^
iheriff Lane reached the scene he
ould not be found. The first re- e
>ort that reached Dil' concerning e
he affair was greatly exaggerated. h
lonneycut is a tenant on Mr. Cot- a
ingham's plantation. ?

STEALS THIRTY DOLLARS.
>fr. ('. K. Newman the Victim of a
Man Who Passed Himself Off
as m Government Official.
"Dunder en blitxen! Oot en Hemnel!"
exclaimed Baker C. P. New*
nan as a Herald man strolled Into
ib place the other day. "You vua
he very mon I vants to see, con*
Inued Mr. Newman. "Vat does
er tink. A rascal vat calls hemelf
a revenoo officer comes into my
lace der udder day undt stheals
irty dollars from mit my office
esk." |
Mr. Newman was very much exrcised
over the affair. And sure
nough the kind-hearted German I
ad been victimised for that
mount. As the story goes, oiif W. ;
l. Moss, claiming to be an employee
f the International Revenu< ! >eartment,
with headquarter at \
Washington, blew into town and
lade the acquaintance of a num- j
er of people,among them Mr. Newlan.
He was a smooth-tongued <
illow and it was not long before |.
e got into the good graces of the '
indly-disposed German baker, j
ometime during the day Mr. Newtan
sent the man to the post of flee
>r his mail, giving him his bunch
f keys. En route to the postoffice
loss appropriated to himself the
ey to Mr. Newman's desk and
lereby hangs a tale of woe. In
ie desk were thirty dollars of '
ard-earned money and later in the 4
ay when Mr. Newman looked for j <
is money it was gone. A search , \
>r the revenue officer and the key : J
evealed the fact that both had ' iken
possage on a southbound j'
rain and were nowhere to be j'
?und. ; <
The loss falls heavily on Mr. i
lewman. He has been to considerble
expense in getting his bakery 11
larted and recently he moved into
etter quarters and had spent all of
is surplus money in making still I
etter improvements. He is an j
onorable, upright citizen and is i
rorking hard to establish an enerprise
in Dillon that should reeive
the support of the people. !
'lie Herald sincerely hopes that Mr.
lewman will recover his money and
hat the Clliltv nartv nrhn hoo ?ano_ 1
d him so much distress will be
rought to justice.

light Deterioration Through Itavages
of Insects.
New Orleans, Oct. 9.?Based on
eports from their correspondents
throughout the cotton belt, the
'imes-Democrat makes the follow- ,
ig report of cotton crop e ndions:
, ^
Taking the belt as a whole, a
loderate deterioration Las occurred,
he boll weevil has done extensive ,
a mage in parts of Mississippi,
ouisiana and Arkansas, and there}
re complaints of other insects in j
)me sections.
The ultimate outcome is still j
trgely dependent upon the date of ,
illing frost.
Farmers seemed disposed to seil
Hough to pay their debts and hold
