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.
Now the negroes are sending in a
petition for their parkon. It seems
passing strange that the very race
who were the sufferers should be
the first to ask clemency for the
offenders,

The agricultural department at
Washington is studying the man

in this country, but the experiment
will hardly prove a success.
When the American troops were
in Cuba ami Porto Kico they made
several attempts to eat the fruit in
the absence of anvthing be fer,
Imt found it only about as palatable
as a persimmon. The mnu^o

cr climate and wdl not beoomje

Home of tho over-zealous wewsr

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. But it is not likely
that a settlement, can be had unless
the Hiiltau makes some material
concessions to the Macedonians,
and this he will never do

rjuropcau uayoueis.

one which other towns tni^ht emulate

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

An order lias been i-sueJ
by Chief Justice Pope appointing

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*

The case will come up fof trial

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

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|

bit of respect for our folks, and
I've always allowed that I would

so big as you. Say, mister, I
think I'll just postpone licking a
Yankee until I see one that ain't

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

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.
