Near Clearwater Tuesday morning a
well known colored man, Bob Merri-
wether. was held up by a mulatto
and black man • robbed of a pistol
and money. Meriwether reportecLthe
hold-up-to Marshal (letzen and gave
a very excellent description of the
men Th£ authorities aresatistied that
tlie assassins of Mr. Collins are the
same men who held up Merriwether
and theMerriwcthr description will be
of much service to them in identify
ing the bandits. Mr. Wood is posi
tive that he will he able to identify [countlfla were
the men or either of them. If they are
brought before him.
The exrltentent and indignation

THE DEMOCRACY.
Meeting of the State Executive Com
mittee in Columbia.
SENATOR TILLMAN ATTENDED.
Home Wanted the Convention Held In
1— r — b
Charleston, but the Committee
Decided to Meet in
Columbia.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee met in Columbia Thursday
night and fixed the date for the State
convention. Twenty-six out of forty
represented. Senator
Mr. Wilborn then went on to say
that it had never been explained why
St. Louis got I5,000,000 and Charles
ton could not get ,< a few thousands.
The reason of it is that we are Demo-
erkts down here an^ they are Repub
licans there and that is why he would
like to see the Democrats of the State
endorse the exposition. ; i
Mr. W. .1. .Stribling of Walhalla
said that the fare from that place
would really be •2.50* cheaper to
Charleston than to Columbia, but the
other expenses would offset ttds dif
ference. Furthermore the members
of the convention might fall into the
hands of the Philistines—the blind
tigers.
Mr. Ketehins of Fairfield remarked
banteringly that as this invitation had
not come unsolicited, tt had tetter not
be accepted.

SUMMONED HELP.
There was no one near at hand.
Leaving his dead friend, Mr. Wood
went as quickly as possible for assis
tance, first reaching the home of Mr.
William Burnett. Immediatel that
attention could be given the lifejess
body and the neighlmrs around could
be notified. Mr. Wood took ttnrpfos
per steps to send word to the family
of the deceased and to notify the
authorities. Mr. Wood quickly reach
ed Marshal Getzen and with that of-
JJcer and Mr. Hertert Bunch and
other gentlemen, rode into the city
to confer with the authorities here
and to as their assistance to aid in
securing the highwaymen ih case they
should come this way. The [arty
met Chief of l*ullce Norris and Mr.
Wood gave to him what description
of the negroes that he could. He had
paid" very lettle attention to them
when they had first accosted them and
had not 'rlikrg'ed his memory as to
Uieir appearance. He described the
men aa best he could and tte police
county authorities will, of course,
gxert every pumible •diligence to the
emd that the men be taken.

Fired the Last Stiot.
Capt.. S. II. Barton, C. S. A. who
Is said to have fired the last hostile
shot In the rebellion on the‘plains of
Brazos, Santiago, Texas. May 13. 1 Sfi;*,
is now living in’Del Rio. in that State.
It is said that among his neighbors is
one Ney, a comrade on that occasion,
who claims tote a descendant of
Napoleon's marshal of the same name,
who tired the last shot in Na
retreat from Russia. Capt. Barton
says that a young man who fell by his
side was undouhily tte last man kill
ed in tte civil war.
spoke in highest
Charleston and the exposition, but It
would tie contrary to the Spirit of the
constitution of the I>einocratlc party
for the meeting to be held outside of
Columbia.
Mr. L. J. Williams said this would
be a very radical step—for the conven
tion to meet in Charleston. The rail
road fare might be cheap, but there
were other expenses to consider.
Mr. Bellinger contended that the
first thing to consider is whether or
not It would benefit the Democratic
party for convention to meet in
Charleston.
Mr. Wharton again spoke in favor
of Charleston. .The constitution of the
party is silent on the place of meet
ing, and this very silence shows that
the. wisdom of the* members of the
committee is relied upon. Mr. .Apjielt
also favored Charleston.
Mr. Wilborn explained how he had
received a telegram from Capt. Wage-
ner. Senator Tillman asked if Mr.
Wilburn had been fishing for an invi
tation. Mr. Wilborn tlien prodded
Senator Tillman. He Rpbke ln warm-
somc of the non-commissioned officers
had refused to carry out the death
sentence. The officers then ransacked
the Boer wagons but found the 20,000
pounds was in Transvaal money. Lieu
tenant Hancogk, one of the Austra
lians concerned, fearing a German
missionary would divulge his informa
tion, shot the missionary dead.
Major Micah Jenkins.
A dispatch says Major Micah Jen
kins, of South Carolina, famous as the
principal figure in the South Carolina
sword episode, is likely to be appoint
ed a retired captain, with pay, in the
regular army by a special act of con
gress, the favor to be bestowed at the
request of his friend, President’Roose
velt. Major Jenkins appeared before
the house committee on military af
fairs to ask the appointment and the
committee will report In his I*vor.

The actual caah ( though, waa 479,-

Now. after tte payment of Gen Un

the Association shrinks to |. r >4,883 SO.
If the Dtly compromise is effected
there will then have to be raised still

'Die heirs of Mr. Rouss assure the
