Rivers Carrol! Shot and Killed by 1). P. Johnson. Last Thursday afternoon about hree o'clock B. 11. Carroll was shot md killed 011 the streets of Blackdlle by 1). P. Johnson. Both parties! ire white. The facts, as we have >een able to learn theta, are about is follows: Carroll was walkiug along the treet, when, without warning it is aid, Johnson came out of the store f Briggs, Buist & Co. and opened ire witii a snot-gun at ciose range, le fired both barrels, but failed to lo more than slightly wound Carroll, nit he fell. Johnson then put down he gun and drew a revolver and hot the prostrate man three times, le then started to walk away, hut eeing Carroll still showing signs of ife, lie went back and fired the two emaining shots. It is said that he last shot was the fatal one, and iiat none of the others would ha*'e ?rod need death. Carroll lived about wo hours. It is said no words passd at the time of the shooting, in act Johnson is said to have opened ire immediately upon seeing Carroll. Ll though many people were on the treets, particulars of the difficulty ere very scarce, as there were only wo eve-witnesses. An inquest was leld Friday, and a verdict rendered hat Carroll came to his death at he hands of 1). P. Johnson. The Kidy was buried the same day at Backville. Johnson surrendered to iheriff Creech Friday afternoon, and 3 now in jail at Barnwell. -Particulars of the killing are lard to get. Johnson and Carroll ad a law suit sometime ago about saw, in which Johnson was victoions. Bad feeling was engendered y this, but those in a position to now say this had blown over. But eceutly Johnson attempted to rent piece of land from Carroll, and he eplied that it was already rented, ohnson then sub-rented the land rom the party Carroll had rented ; to. Upon being informed of this arroll went to .Johnson and told im he could not have the land; that e couldn't walk across it, much less nltivate it. It is presumed some ords passed between them"on this icasion, and on the day he was illed Carroll had just been in the eighborhood of Johnson's house, 'his no doubt led Johnson to heeye that Carroll was looking for im, so he armed himself and shot arroll as soon as he saw him. The deeeased was a bad man; ad killed four men; and was to have een tried this week for killing ames Hoi in a few months ago. ohnson is said to he a quiet man, nd has not been in trouble before.

Recogizing the universal need of such a ?ries of subjects, The Delineator as been publishing articles from tie pen of Dr. Grace Beckham Mur iy dealing with The Sick Child, 'he April article refers to The Feers of Childhood.

There are sixteen portraits of the iir and patriotic daughters of the onth in the April number of The )elineator. The article that thev lustrate deals with "The Patriotic York of Southern Women." It is a ?stimonial to the ability of southrn women for public organized work. Guidon Fawcett is the author and e touches his subject most sympahetically.

He was in jail charged with the murder of Frank Irons, on Thursday last, in the vicinity of the negro masonic hall in Bamberg. Magistrate Bay gave hint a trial yesterday and after hearing the testimony of the State's witnesses, held Alec blameless. Last Thursday the negro masons held a "meerin'. " The dead man. Irons, was a member of the lodge, and in view of possible goat ridings came to the lodge room well-filled with "fust-x." He was boisterous and unruly, as the State's witnesses, Horace McCaskin, Martin Sease, Peter Mitchell, (J. H. Hunter, and Rev. G. S. McMillan, testified, and his conduct :is a "brother mason" was so undigmfird that a committee escorted him down stairs and turned him into the street. Irons did not like this sort- of treatment, and retaliated by "franiming" the door of the lodge room and beating a very devil's tattoo on the clapboards ot the building. So great a disturbance did he create that the lodge adjourned, and the members buzzed out like a swarm of bees. Then it was that the accused man and the dead man came together, fliers, who was^ an officer in the lodge, accused Irojisof breaking the door lock. Irons retorted that the charge was untrue, and that the accused was a double 1). liar. Then the two men came together. Irons struck at fliers, and the latter hit his assailant a ''glancing blow" with a stout hickory stick. The club landed on Irons's chin, but he did nor seem to mind it, and walked to his buggy. Once on the scat of the vehicle he lashed his horse, tunica a short curve and fell out over the wheel, striking upon his head. Some of his brother masons ran to his rescue. As they picked him up he said: "Lord have mercy on me, I am a dead man." They put him in the buggy and lVter Mitehel, drove him home. In less than two hours he was a dead man. '? i 11 _ _ uoroner ifessinger nem an inquest, and Dr. J. R. McCormack made an examination of the body. The Doctor was a witness before Magistrate Ray, and, while a Unit ling that he was a "trifle rusty" on some pathological points, was sure that deceased came to his death from concussion of the brain produced "by the fall from the buggy anu excessive alcoholism." Counsellor Jno. R. Bellinger, who represented the defence, laid much stress on the Doctor's testimony as being the evidence of an expert, and, although Probate Judge Mi ley, who had charge of the prosecution, ar gucd strenuously for a continuance until the body of the dead man could he examined by a sure enough medical expert, Magistrate Ray decided that the evidence was not sufficient to hold the prisoner, and Le was discharged. A. R, De Fluent, editor of the Journal, Doylestown, Ohio, suffered for si nuniher of years from rheumatism in his right shoulder and side. He says: "My right arm at times was entirely useless. 1 tried Chamberlain's Pain Halm, and was surprised to receive relief almost immediately.

Spami is the owner of some mules that know enough to be doctors. They go hither and thence without guide or driver, and can do everything except talk. In fact, it is believed that they do have a sort of mule language and that they con verse in it and understand each other. For instance: Yesterday one of the mules needed shoeing?the others thought they did?and was sent to Mr. E. L. Price's shop lo be shod. They fixed him up with iron foot-wear and they felt so good that he went back and told the other mules about it. His brethren concluded that they also should be shod, and under his pilotage they were con voyed to Mr. Price's shop. Imagine his astonishment when the mule procession filed in, and the unshod ones backed into line and held up their shoeless feet, while the shod mule grinned and wagged his ears.
