He commenced to run up above the post office and came tearing down the street. Tim coupling of the ! wagon came loose in front of the old beef market, and the two hind wheels were left there.

The 5 gentleman who owned the wagon was compelled to get another wheel in order 1 to get his load home. The street was crowded with vehicles at the time, and it is remarkable that no more damage was " done, as the horse seemed thoroughly des moralized. 1 Program Union Meetings Barnwell Association. , 1.

Ritter's plan ! tation, the negroes held what they call a torchlight cotton picking, and during tin ' course of the evening the usual row tool* place. David Breland shot and killed Arthur Kearse, the weapon used being a : pistol. It seems to be a case of self-de - fence, and Breland bears a good reputa tion among the best white people of thai r section. He is now in jail, but his attor ; ney will make a motion for bail in a few f days. 1 Another Killing. r I Last Saturday at a negro hot suppei , held a few miles from town Edwari 5 Tyler shot and killed Willie Fields. I seems that Fields was hitting Tyler witl a club when he was shot, and it appear ' to be another ease of self-defence. Field B lived until Sunday night, and Constabh Noel Padgett arrested Tyler Monda; B and put him in jail. Magistrate Ra; . held the preliminary Tuesday afternoon Hog Stealing Case. Dick Green, a negro from the Clea !? Pond section, was brought to towi s Wednesday night and lodged in jail e charged with stealing a hog from Georg 5 To'omer, another negro, who swore out; 1 warrant. Mr. Quillie Sandifer was depu * tized to make the search, and Toomer ac ^ companied hint. Green and his wif ' both showed light, and Green was sho " by Toomer, the ball taking effect in hi left hand. He also has a slight wound ii the throat, 110 doubt made*by a knife '* Green's wound in the hand was a ver painful one, and Drs. Barton and Blaci cut out the ball today. The trial will b ~ held as soon as he is able to attenc Green's story is that he shot the hog b mistake. It was in his yard, and h ^ thought it was his. He also says tha Toomer opened tire on him without giv e ing him time to show fight, when the e came to search his house. 1 mm 1 The Bravery of Women ^ Was grandly shown by Mrs. Joh ?

WOULD ROB DEWEF. Statement of Lieot. Hobson That H< I Didn't Sink Spanish Fleet. 5 Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 22?Thi : papers in British Columbia are publish ing, under flaming headlines, the state ' ment that Dewey did not earn his tith ' to heroism; that he did not hit a boai 1 hard enough to hurt in Manila bay. Th< cause of this strange rejoicing "of tin British Columbia editors is the fact thai Lieut. Hobson, who arrived from Manila today, stated to the press representatives ; quite freely that in acting as superintendent at the Hong Kong dry dock, where the Manila war vessels are being repaired and reconstructed, he had thoroughly ! examined the hulls of the vessels sunk in Manila bay and found that they had sustained little if any damage below the waterliue, and that the American fleet had practically done the Spanish no damage at all. " Lieut. Hobson gave it as his opinion that the Spanish admirals had simply scuttled their vessels to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Americans. In speaking of the Oregon, he said she was very little damaged, and a few thousand dollars would make her all right. Lieut. Hol>son left today to report to the commandant of the navy yard at Brooklyn, and after that wilf visit his home in Alabama. A Card.
