The cap of one of the steam cylinder heads blew off while Mr. Cousart was engaged in replacing some packing in the cylinder, with the result that he was painfully burned by the escaping steam. The burns are serious, but it is thought that Mr. Cousart will he able to return to his work in a few days.

Young Negro Faces Serious Charge. Lewis Perry, a young negro of the township, is languishing in Yorjt jail upon the very serious double charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Saturday evening, according to reports, Perry imbibed rather freely of blind-tiger liquor which, in turn, produced a very strong desire for a scrap. A heavy pistol of the "Hull Dog" variety is said to have been chosen by Perry as the instrument of warfare. Sallying forth, the first object of destruction encountered was the person of one Sam Moore, commonly known as "Sam Skinner. " Perry insisted upon - - m i , the payment of 20 cents claimed to be , | due him by Sam. Moore didn't recall ( the debt and Perry turned his Bull Dor i loose. There was once a time when Sam's powers of speed were not to be placed in the class with the slow-going ? bullet from the best of Bull Dog pops, but that time passed several years ago when one of Sam's antagonists caught him napping and landed a .38 in one of ' his walkers. Since that time Sam has been somewhat slow of speed and this fact ib doubtless responsible for a wound in the left shoulder, where on . Saturday night the bullet from l'erry's I pistol found lodgement. Sam is more , or less bullet-proof and he is little the I worse for las Saturday night's experience. But the onslaught on Moore did not , satisfy Perry's yearning for battle and he next sought out Tom Welch, who | had, it is said, made remarks about the ' shotting of Moore, or "Skinner," wffich | were not exactly to Perry's liking. The two engaged In conversation on the ; road to Grattan and Perry again turned his Bull Dog loose. Welch was shot once, the ball striking him in the chest and lodging between the ribs. Like Moore, his wound was not serious. Immediately af?er the shooting of Welch, Perry took his departure and wus unheard of until Sunday night when he was arrested at the home of his father near Grattan. He wag on Monday bound over tp court by Magistrate McElhaney. Lewis Perry is the negro who some tvo J years ago went on n rampage on the streets of Fort Mi)! and was locked up only after ne had susustained injuries at the hands of the officers which laid him up for several months and resulted in his losing an arm and most of his lower teeth. Asks Board to Reconsider. As a result of the bitter opposition , to the recent action of the school board in naming the White lot on Academy street as the location for the new school building, citizens of the town and school patrons have busjed themselves during the week in circulating and obtaining signatures to a petition asking the board to reconsider its action and make I an elfort to find a more suitable location for the school. The objections to the lot on Academy street are too numerous ! and well known to be repeated. During the week parties interested have conferred with Mr. W. M. Kimbrell, of Columbia, with a view of | suggesting the selection of his East ! Booth street lot for the school and it i was learned that the property can be 1 bought at a price which many consider j reasonable. This property lies 011 the 1 east side of Booth streea and adjoins ' the premises of Mr. W. F. Harris. The ! tract includes a vacant lot of probably j more than one acre and the house and lot occupied at present by Mr. McLaugh- 1 lin and family. For school purj>ose9 this location is without doubt the cheap- j est and most desirable yet hit u)K>n, I and at its meeting next Monday night, , it is to be hoped that the board will give the proj>osition due thought before j finally locating the school. There are 9 p^mbpr sf reasons why the- Kimbrell 1 lot is by far more admirable than the Academy street lot and we are satisfied that in deciding in its favor the board would meet with the approval of a large majority of the patrons of the school. , , Tissue Plisse at Kimbrell's Sale for 9 cents the yard.
