The gang is iu camp j out on the Cannon's briilge road, and at locking down time late Sunday afternoon , Loadholdt, who was a "trusty, asked permission to step one side a minute. He stepped into the woods and immediately made off.

Glover was also arrested and brought back to town along with Loadholdt and placed in jail, and he will bcdealt with for assisting a prisoner to escape. Loadholdt was carried back to the gang Monday afternoon, no doubt a sadder and wiser negro. The chain gang force deserves much credit for his quick capture.

Letter to Mr. H. L. Rowell, Bauiber^, S. C. ; Dear Sir:?Why is it that people continue to be misled by the cry, "use the lead your grandpa did?" Oil is the life of paint and not white lead. Lead chalks and admits moisture to the wood it is supposed to protect. L. & M. paint supplies elastic and nonohalkable coatings that preserve the wood. Most of your work is done on contract, and you can't afford to pay a man for the time he takes in breaking up lead. When you use L. & M. paint on a contract job, the house owner not only has your guarantee, and the agent's guarantee, but our own guarantee of satisfaction. It is backed by twenty-eight years of making the best paint, and the sale of four million pounds per annum. Hear what the Bamberg Pharmacy has to say. Sincerely yours, Longman & Martinez.

Lawson, engineer at the cotton mills, had an adventure with a wouldl>e robber last Saturday night, and Mr. Lawson shot at him seven times, twice with a double-barrel shot gun and five times with a pistol. He did not stop him however, aud if the fellow was wounded it was slight. On Saturday morning Mr. Lawson found tracks in his yard where some one had been the night before, evidently intent on breaking into his house. They must have been scared away,for they did not enter. He concluded that there would likely be another attempt made Saturday night, so, taking his gun and pistol, he got under the house and waited for the fellow, who arrived about one o'clock Sunday morning and attempted to prize open the window with a piece of buggy spring. Mr. Lawson was near him under the house and had all the opportunity wanted to shoot the thief, but hating to shoot a man down in cold blood he crawled out from under the house, intending to arrest the man. But he heard Mr. Lawson coming out and ran off, when Mr. Lawson followed, firing as rapidly as possible, but the thief made good his escape. From the description of the tracks, it is supposed to be the same fellow who has entered other houses in town recently, and Mr. Lawson offers a reward of ten dollars for his arrest with proof to convict.

[News and Courier, Friday, August 30 ] MR. C. W. HARRIS. A Hard Working Railroad Commissioner and a Progressive Planter. Railroad Commissioner C. W. Garris arrived in the city yesterday morning, after an extended tour of the State, and went at once to Sullivan's Island, where his family has been spending the summer. Mr. Garris is a Colleton man, who has been on the commission for several years now, and has done some very excellent work for Charleston, as well as for other sections of the State. He is recognized generally by his constituents and the railroad companies as well as a hard-work- ' ing and energetic official. His recent 1 *1 1 O -..*1. tree ' inp llirougll OUUUl v.ai uiiua ..uc ^ with a view to adjusting certain differ- ; ences which had arisen hero and there be- J tween companies or individuals and the transportation lines. Mr. Garris is an ardent advocate of Charleston having a handsome, commo- i dious and modern union depot, and he j said yesterday that any assistance that j he or his fellow commissioners could reu- i der the city in this regard at any time , would always be cheerfully rendered. He j said that he had been given to understand, . however, that all arrangements looking to the establishment of the depot here were progressing so satisfactorily between the representatives of the various railroad companies and the representatives of the city that there was no immediate prospect of the commissioners 1 being called into the consultation. In addition to being a railroad commissioner of experience and energy, Mr Garris is a planter of wide knowledge and ' progressive ideas. He said that in going i about the State he had observed that the cotton crop of South Carolina this year ( [ had been subjected to more changes and j greater ones than possibly during any other season that he had ever known. He " had never, he said, seen South Carolina I cotton look worse than it did about the | 1st of July. When the 1st of August ar- I rived the conditions were exactly reversed and the crop was in magnificent shape. The recent rains had, however, proved extremely disastrous to it in many sections, j AAnfnMiml QC it liorl ilUU II lilt' caillt'l tv/lltlliui u UO lb mm been for the last three weeks he feared the injury (lone would be very extensive. He said, among other things, that the public generally had little conception of the enormous iiijurv done to the railroad j1 interests of the State by the enormous 11 rainfall which had taken place in West- c em North Carolina and the upper part of 2 this State. He thought that the Southern Railway alone would be a loser in r consequence of it to the extent, possibly, j of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Mr. Thomas Watson, who was shot by Bartow Warren, died at the hospital in I Columbia last Wednesday morning at5:30 I o'clock. He was carried there Tuesday | and the physicians had no hope of his _ recovery. Indeed it was most remarkable I that he lived as long as he did, consider- I ing the seriousness of his wounds. He was shot in the head, the brain being touched by the bullet. Another bullet cut through the intestines, a third lodged in the spinal cord and the fourth went through the palm of the left hand. Any ono of the first three wounds would ordinarily prove fatal in a few hours. But ( Watson's constitution and mental end- ^ urancc was such that it was thought if he could be taken to the hospital and proper operations were performed there might be some slight chance of his recovery. Dr. Guerry aud the hospital staff performed two operations. One was taking 1 the bullet out of the head and the other was sewing up the perforated intestines. The operations were performed with a very slight hope that the man's life would be saved, for it could not have been with- t out them. But after lingering until 5:30 d Wednesday morning he died. The remains were taken in charge by the undertakers, and were embalmed for burial, The body was taken to Branchville.

The verdict was tolthc I effect that "Thomas H. Watson came to I his death by gun shot wouuds in the |< hands of Bartow Warren." 4 The funeral services of young Watson V were held to-day at the Methodist church ? by the Rev. W. * A. Wright. The inter- ^ ment was in the Branchville cemetery. _ Nothing has been heard of Warren since the shooting, and so far as is known here no effort has l>een made to capture him, except what was done by the town authorities the night of the shooting. Of course they could do but little as it was night and* he disappeared immediately I after the shooting. I The report that Warren had been shot I on the train for Charleston Tuesday morning is ip.porrect. It is said that the party shot at the coal chute was a tramp, n It is not thought that Warren would have j taken the train anywhere near here.
