Tiring of life and to free him[ self of -troubles which he considered unbearable, John Owens, l a white man living on the plantai tion of Mr. S. P. Wilson in the t Gold Hill section of this township, ended it all with a shotgun i Frjday piprping in the kitchen of his home. Owens, it is said, had been in bad health for a year or ' J more and recently his family had noticed evidences of mental de 11auHciMuiiL. i" ruiay morning ne f I had a glitfht difference with a , j member qf his family and threatt1 ened to destroy himself. Little >' attention was paid to the threat. > however, as Owens had repeated! ly stated to his wife that he inj tended to kill himself. A few minutes before noon, she left the house and started to the ' home of a neighbor, expecting to ' be away a short while. She had ': not gone far before the report of a gun at the house caused her to hurriedly return. Upon entering the kitchen she found her husband lying in the middle of the floor with a gaping wound in the throat. Owens was all but dead , when his wife reached him. He j had used a shotgun as the instru| nient of self-destruction, firing . ; the gun with his toe, evidently ! while standing. The load took effect in the right side of the, face and neck, severing the jugular vein and horribly mangling the face. Death followed j in a few minutes after the gun I was fired. The dead man was 50-odd years old and was the; ! father of several children. BASEBALL BfARC LIGHTS. Two Novel Games for Thursday Afternoon and Evening. I On the 29th inst. the people of | this community will be aiforded j the opportunity of witnessing two novel baseball games ?novel | in that both games are to be played on the one hand by Cher1 okee Indians and that the last of ! the games will be played by j electric light. The lirst game i will be played at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and the second game | at 8 o'clock, the price of admission for the afternoon game being 25 cents and foe the evening game 35 cents. The Indians are I *~ ?i u.ii. i i iu uppuseu in (.JUL11 games Uy the local team, who promise to j make the Redskins go some if! they win. Baseball by electric light is an innovation, at least in ; this section of the country, and many are too incredulous to believe that a game worthy the! name can be played after nightfall. But in the advance notices sent out by the Indians the claim is made that the liftv arc lights to be erected on the grounds will ' be so arranged that the players will not be handicapped by the absence of Old Sol's rays. The j [ Indians carry with them a can- j (j vas fence long enough to inclose ; j the grounds and a grandstand | with a seating capacity of 2,000. ; The Indian team, it is claimed, (; is composed of good players, . i picked up at various ]>oints in the .IvVest.

HORSE-BAGK'fOR MILITiA. Officers of First RiJe Through Country to Greenville. Dr. J. L. Spratt of this place 1 j is one of the officers of the First ] regiment who is, with the other t1 seventeen mounted officers of )! the regiment, traveling from j Yorkville to Greenville horsel i back to take part in the manoeui j vrer of the regiment, which is to -! assemble for the annual encampr | ment in the latter city on the f j 27th instant. The ride through -! the country, a distance of somef thing more than a hundred miles, , 1 is a novel feature of latter-day f soldier life in South Carolina r which has not heretofore been experienced by any of this State's 4 ! officers of the National Guard. " j All of the mounted officers of the ^ I regiment were ordered to report = i to Col. Lewis in Yorkville yester1 i day and the long ride was begun ? ! early this morning, thus allow ing plenty or time to reach Greenly ville before next Tuesday, the , date set for the encampment to , ' begin. Each officer was ordered , to take with him to Yorkvillle a " | campaign hat, drab flannel shirt, i khaki blouse, two pairs khaki r j breeches, extra suit underwear, ; gauntlets, blanket, poncho, horse I" 1 equipment, arms, field glasse", 1 watch and compass. The horses ! to be used in the cross-country ; hike were shipped to Yorkville a " day or two ago by the officers, and, as'the public roads arc said to be in fairly good condition, f it is thought that the long ride will end successfully and with". out any great hardships being ^ experienced by the officers. r ' Gut DuWitt'a Ctrbolitfld Witch Haxe ^ ' Salvo when you n?k for it.
