re-elect, but he'd like to have the job
again we are sure.

KILLING AT BLACKVILLE.
B. 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.

At a session of the church eminence
held in the Methodist church

as a committee to collect the
loney necessary, and to proceed at

ill add very much to the appearnce
of the parsonage.

mtributions for thepaymentof the

The April Delineator.
Every happy home contains
hildren, and yet with children
ime anxieties that for years fill
lothers's hands and hearts. 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. All Dr. Marty's
work is characterized by carenl
thoroughness, and her advice is
f the practical kind needed byanx>us
mothers.
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.
It is vcrv hard to stand idlv by and see
ur dear ones suffer while awaiting the
rrival of the doctor. An Albany (X. Y.)
airvinan called at a drug store there for
doctor to come and see his child, then
ery sick with croup. Xot finding the
octor in, he left word for him to"come at
nee on his return, lie also bought a
ottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
hich he hoped would give some reliet
intil the doctor should arrive. In a few
lours he returned, saying the doctor need
tot come, us the child was much better,
'he druggist, Mr. Otto Scliolz, says the
amily has since recommended Chamber-'
ain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors
md friends until he has a constant denand
for it from that part of the country.

Turned Loose.
Alexander Hiers is a free man.
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.
The Pain Balm has been a eonstunt
companion of mine ever since and
it never tails." For sale by all druggists
and medicine dealers.
An Intelligent Mnle.
Mr. J. A. 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.

Regulator, which 1 found not so good.
