A peculiar ruse is reported in Alabama. decently u couple of plant rs were convicted in the I'nited States court of peonage, 41 nd given penitentiary sentences.

V * Tli.o trouble between the Turks and Macedonians has taken a serious turn, one likely to draw the I'nited States into the controversy unless the powers take a hand and compel some kind of a settlement of the trouble.

Sad Accident Near Lancaster, I^qijoaster Jjpdger 12th: A phone message from Fort Lawn yestertexday brought the .distressingly sad at'WH to Lancaster that our es teetpod to.wnsmun, Maj. ?L M. Kiddle, man il"1!' of The Review, I had accidentally sln?t, and almost i instantly killed his little (grandson J U. d. McJ\ore-ll, dr., of Yorkvilie. while squirrel hunting in the woods j on Mr. Jhb Black's liver bottoms | near Fort Lawn. Maj. Riddle, his son, Mr. James ; Riddle, and his little grand-oil, ; *ud Cube Riddle, col., whom they carried with them, went oyer to the river on the train the evening before, camping out that night, I so as to bo ready bright and early : yesterday morning for the bun', it was about W o'clock when the accident happened. Maj. Riddle was watching for a squirrel which I he had seen on a tree on a very steep hillside. Watching intentlv for the rennnoHrnticu of tlo. I squirrel in tho trot*, the Maj u* heard a sudden rustling in the ! qndergrowth and on looking in the ' direction of it wan sure that j he saw the tail of a squirrel, and aiming a little below it, fired. Supposing he had killed a pquir! rel he started to get it and was ! horrified when uearing the place ion hearing hie little grandson say ! "Grand-pa you've shot me." I The little fellow had gone down ! the valley a short distance and was doubtless endeavoring to creep noiselessly through the undergrowth up the hillside to where his grandfather was, when probably a little of his hair showing ftoni the undergrowth was mistaken for a squirrel's tail. Maj. Riddle took the little fellow up in his arms and carried hiin to a ; spring nearby and bathed bis face. He appearant ly endeavored ; to speak again but closing his : bright little eye-, all was soon lover. The distressed cries of the i aimost distracted grandfathei atj traetod his son and the colored | man who hurried to the scene, reaching there just as the little fellow breathed his last. The bo | dy was carried on a quilt to the ! railroad, a distance of a mile 01 I more, to await the arrivol of the ! train which brought it on to Lancaster. The interment will take place in the Town cemetery at 10 a. in., today. ? Work of a Degenerate. A Spartanburg special of the 12th iiiHt. to The State says. News has reached here of an assault in Greenville last night on a colored girl 4 years old, and the accused young white man is now in jail at this place. It is said that the girl, whose name is unknown, was last night found unconscious and later the young man was found asleep nearby. Mis name is Robert Gunnels. The story is that Gunnels passed the yard wheiv the girl was playing and promising to give her some fruit carried her to the woods and accomplished his purpose. The police and sheriff were notified and a se ?rch was begun. About 11 o'clock Gunnells was | found in an old mill building, 100 yards from the scene of the nshmult. He was arrested and carried to jail. The negroes heard of the affair today and tnis afternoon there was great excitement. To avoid trouble Sheriff Giireath tonight brought (rutinells to Sartanburg, where he is now in jail. The evidence against Gunnells is said to be conclusive. He is the son of Sergt. (). S. Gunnells, who for a long time has been a highly resnected officer of the Greenville police force. Young Gunnells was under the influence of whiskey when found asleep, and it is supposed that he was in the same condition when the crime was committed. The locality of the crime was in West End Greenville and the deed was committed about sundown Friday evening. The Tillman Trial. The case of .fames H. Tillman will not be heard before Judge iteorge w. tinge, Ht the court in Lexington county, hh was expected. An order lias been i-sueJ by Chief Justice Pope appointing Judge I). A. Townseud to hold the fall term of courts in Kershaw and Lexington counties on account of the physical infirmities of Judge Gage. ) The change of venue in the Tillman case wns granted by Judge Townsend in Richland county, j and the fact that he is to preside j over the case in Lexington, leads | Some to Relieve that another strong point hps been scored in Tillman1* behalf.

' A South Caroling A few weeks ago a new "devil"' cnme into this office from somewhere down in South Carolina, says the Charlotte Chronicle. He had never before been in a big town and was determined to learn all 1m could during his stay here. After lie had taken in the wonders of the machinery in the big building, he set about to get acquainted with the men who run the lino1 types, "make up" the forms and operate the presses. None of his 11 mw nnnnntttlniinnu ?>vpilu/l Iti-i riosity until lie met Mr. Adumson, the machinist, when he Haul: "Look here, mister, what's the matter with you? You ain't like other folks, are you? Where did you come from, anyway?'' Being informed that he was from up above New York, the South Carolina "devil"' remarked: "Oh, yes, you're on of them durned Yankees I've ! been hearing about all my life. I've been wanting to see what one of you fellers looked like ever since my folks told me how your crowd come through South Curo| linn nlong about tin* war and | played h ? 1 with evertyhing in sight. lour people didn't have a bit of respect for our folks, and I've always allowed that I would mash the face of the first one I saw?but I didn't know they was so big as you. Say, mister, I think I'll just postpone licking a Yankee until I see one that ain't ^so big Hiid hefty as you." Items of Local Interest. S. S. Herron. of Mecklenburg, was in town yesterday returning from a visit to Coroner Louthian. of 1 orkville ]\I r Hurnm il was next to impossible to raise any interest in any subject except the wreck at. Fishing Creek. The coroner, taking the coroner's jury as a basis, has issued a warrant for the bridge inspector of the Southern Hail way, and an interesting case is likely to develop.?Gastonia News. A brother of J. R. Norman, the , man who was recently drowned in Catawba river, was in Yorkville Monday trying to get the coroner to re-open the inquest. Many of Norman's friends seem to think that lie was shot before he reached the water. The coroner does not feel warranted in re-opening the investigation, in view of the verdict already rendered. It is understood that the relatives and friends of the dead man will have the body raised on their own motive. Yorkville-Enquirer. Pleasant Valley News. Evangelist J. \V Little assisted Rev. A. L. Stough in a protracted meeting at Pleasant Valley Baptist church last week. It was a very successful meeting, there being large congregations at each service.
