Wallace, a printer on the Dillon Herald, was shot and killed near Latta, in Marion county, last Thursday night by Wm. Jacobs. The killing occurred at the house of Jacobs, where Wallace went to get his sister, who had been lodging there after leaving borne. It is said that Wallace was drunk and abusive, and threatened the inmttes of the house with his pistol. A crowd of masked men took a negro, Cairo Williams, from some deputies on a train going from Kingstree to Florence last Thursday evening. Some three ^ months ago the negro shot and ktlled a / young white man in Kingstree named McGee. At that time, in order to keep the negro from being lynched, he was carried to Columbia. A few days ago he was carried back to Kingstree for trial. The jury could not agree and the case resulted in a mistrial. The deputies had started to take the negro back to Colum bia by way ot Florence wnen mc tram ^ was flagged at Scranton and the negro ^ taken off. Shots were heard soon after the crowd carried the negro to the woods and this ended the affair. The taking of - the negro from the train was managed % very quietly. * Clark and the Book Agent Senator W. A. Clark detests nothing more than to be interrupted when busy, ^ * says an exchange. One day he was in his office engrossed in a business conversation when a petite woman carrying a black bag entered. With a compelling smile and an insinuating matter she approached the surly millionaire. Utterly inafinsihle to his reDellant and indifferent to his abrupt manner she drew from the depths of the bag a handsome bound volume, the merits and beauties of which she began to eloquently decant upon. ^ Failing to embarrass her with Arctic frigidity and impatient at her persistence under rebuffs all but vulgar he turned suddenly upon the chattering woman and said: "Madam do you know what my time is worth?" She confessed it was a conundrum. "Well," he said petulantly, "it's worth $30 an hour." He turned away with the air of one who had settled the matter definitely beyond any further controversy, but he didn't i know the woman. "Oh. I'm so grateful to you, Mr. Clark," she replied with a tone of pathos in her voice. "Thirty dollars an hour, did you say?" "Yes, that's what I said, and it's cheap at that," and he smiled cynically. "Oh, I know it is dirt cheap," she chirks raped with winsome blitheness. "I am ^ so glad you told me " rummaging in her reticule, from which she quickly fished out a purse filled with currency. Moving ^ near to the astonished millionaire, who 2V now regarded her movements with unfeigned curiosity, she counted two bills, a ten and a five, off the roll. These she pushed along the top of the sloping desk toward him and said: "Yes, I'm glad you told me, because I hadn't expected to get it so cheap. There is $15. Now I want a half hour of your uninterrupted attention while I talk about this book." Clark pushed back the money and subscribed and paid for two copies of the book.

FRAGMENTS OF CORPSE FOUND IN RIVER. Believed to be Remains of Little Negro Girl Who Disappeared from Branchville Neighborhood. Branchville, July 4.?A sensation was created in this community by the finding of the skull and fragments of clothing of a child in the river near here a few days ago. About seven months ago, only a short distance from where these bones were found, a little colored girl disappeared from her home, and search was made for her, but she has never been heard of since. It is thought that the bones that were found the other day were those of the child that disappeared, and that she was murdered and thrown in the river. Several negroes have been arrested. The crime is a horrible one, and if the guilty one is found it is very likely that they will be severely dealt with. On Thursday night at the Baptist parsonage here Mrs. M. E. Reeve3, of this nla?e. and Mr. W. B. Murray, of Dorches ter, were married. Rev. W. R. Smith, of the Baptist church here, performed the ceremony. The marriage was a quiet one, only a few of the friends of the bride and groom being invited. The children's day exercises at the Baptist church here last Sunday night was a success in every particular. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. The programme was a very appropriate j one, and was carried out to the letter. About $15.00 was raised, which will be used for missionary purposes. Mr. S. S. Pearlstine, who recently gradI uated in law at the University of Virginia, j is spending some time with friends in J Charleston Would Hurry When the Lord Came. "It is an aw.:cl good thing to obey the commands of the Lord," says a member of the recent Methodist general, conference from Pennsylvania to a Washington | Times man, "and whenever I think of this I am reminded of a story related of a pioneer Methodist named Valentine Cook, who was a power in his day, and who got off many odd sayings. "Once there was a terrible upheaval of nature in the shape of an earth-quake, and Dr. Cook woke up, finding his bed jostling and turning. He believed the end of the world near and made a bee CURED OF CHRONIC DIARHOEA AFTER TEN YEARS OF SUFFERING. MI wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mrs. Mattie Burge, of Martinsville, Ya. "I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining permanent relief, Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbus, and I procured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. I then decided to try the medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine."This remedy is for sale by Bamberg Pharmacy; H. C. Rice, Denmark. t Pat's Raffle Ticket. "I once knew an old Irishman who would invest his last cent in any kind of a gamble he happened up against," said Magistrate Cunningham the other day, says the Philadelphia Press. uOne Christmas eve he came home with a ticket entitling him to a chance on a horse and sleigh that were to be raffled off. 44'We'll be drivin' through Fairmount Park th' morrow like th' big guns, Mary,' he announced with pride to his wife. 44 4Oh. dod. won't that be fine, chimed J s K t in his little son. You an' n^e can ride on the front seat, and mom and little Johanna can sit in the back.' 4Ye'll be doing no sich thing!' asserted the old man. "Twill be the back seat for you, my lad. Ye mother will be on the front wit' me.' " 'I will so!' whined the youngster. T will so be ridin' on the front!' ' The old man assumed a stern parental air and took his niDe from his mouth to deliver his final decision. " 'Ye'll not, I tell ye,' he said, 'I'll be bavin' no back talk from ye. Git off the sleigh!' " RECOMMENDED FOR RHEUMATISM O. G. Higbee, Danville, Ills., writes: "About two years ago I was laid up four months with rheumatism.

One of our town dudes, who is rathei bashful, and is "sparking" a young ladj a few miles from town called a few after noons ago to spend the evening with her While there it commenced raining anc the girl's father asked him to remain ove: night. The next morning when he wa: invited to a seat at the breakfast tabli he reluctantly accepted. He was ver nervous and agitated. He sat oppositi the mirror and discovered that he ha< forgotten to comb his hair. Then h' dropped his fork on the floor and as h stooped to pick it up he upset his coffee Matters went from bad to worse, unti finally the young man quit eating and pu his hand under the table. The loose em of the table cloth was lying in his la] and when he touched it he turned pale He thought it was his shirt and that ii his nervous excitement while dressing h had forgotten to put it inside his trousers This accounted for the smiles and em barrassment. There was no time to lose TTp ctnflFprl thp siirmnspd shir proper seasons. The fourth of July was observed here by all except the merchants. In tke afternoon a game of ball was played between men and boys of Ehrhardt. The line-up took in anything that could wave a bat or "chunk" a ball, ranging in age from twelve to forty years old. It was a glorious game, lasting about two hours, and the score stood 12 to 15 in favor of what was suppose to be the weakest nine. Col. W. B. Moore, the pldest man in the teams, made some brilliant plays, running from first base home after he was put out. Try again, Mr. Fulton ? The game was umpired by Mr. S. W. Copeland, who made 43 wrong decisions in the 3rd, 4th and 5th innings, but redeemed himself by calling everybody out in the 7th and 8th in-! nings.

Some sickness in our community now, j mostly lever, supposed to be caused by i the excessive hot, dry weather. The picnic at St. John's last Thursday was well attended and was a decided success.

We are sorry to note that Mrs. P. M. Varn is quite sick, but hope she will soon be up again. The ciops in this section are suffering for the need of rain.

The "pit club," or bon ton socials, went to the Edisto Biver in a wagon and high glee, as "Samantha at Saratoga," would say, and judging from the racket they made, and the glowing descriptor given, the day must have truly been one of joy and happiness.

A very deplorable killing occurred at ( . Olar last Saturday night. We have been . , able to get the meagre details of the affair from a member of the jury of inquest, but 1 [ from his statement the affair looks very . t bad. The testimony taken at the inquest has not yet been filed in the clerk of . court's office. The statement of facts t which we obtained from this member of ' I iMftr 1Q oa ^AIIAWO T.oflf flofnrHor J liic JUi J AO UO AVS11VSTTO JiOCV UUVUAUUj 5 night two young white men, Daniel Proveaux and Elisha Morris, went to the home of a negro woman while drinking or under the influence of liquor, and der manded to be admitted, She refused to T let them in and they attempted to force - open the door. Finding it securely fas tened they went to the window, which 1 they succeeded in opening. The woman r went to the window and shut it, and s called to a little negro girl who was in c the house to come help her fasten it. Just 7 as this girl got up Proveaux put his pistol e in a small crack in the window and fired 3 into the house, the bullet striking the e girl in the forehead and going nearly e through her head, killing her instantly. ' Horror stricken at the fatal result of * the shot, the young men rushed into the t house, the woman opening the door, but 3 they could do nothing. The bullet had P done its work only too well. ' The jury's verdict was that Proveaux a did the shooting, and he has left for parts ? unknown, The verdict of the jury did > not implicate Morris, it appearing that he L- did nn chnntino- nr nt.hcr act which would - make him accessory to the killing. It is t indeed a regrettable affair. It is not ber lieved that the pistol was fired at the woe man or the child, but still it ended the a life of an inoffensive negro. Only the S one shot was fired. The dead girl was * said to be about twelve years old. g A Beautiful Uome Wedding. s There was a pretty home wedding at s Olar- jWednesday morning at eleven o'clock, when Miss Kellah, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David McNab, was married to Mr. J.

Mr. Mc iNeeiy is an enterprising young man, anu 3 has a position with the Seaboard Air - Line. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. S. Beckham, of Denmark, and . was witnessed by a number of intimate 3 friends and relatives. r The wedding party entered the beautir fully decorated parlor to the strains of the i wedding march from Lohengrin, by Miss j Myrtle McNeely, where, the beautiful and r impressive ceremony was performed. The attendants were: Miss 0. Lena t McNeely and Mr. George Todd McNab; 3 Miss Bessie Chitty and Mr. James McNab; Miss Olivia Ray and Mr. Holma Kearse. 3 Immediately after the ceremony a i sumptuous dinner was served. Handsome and useful were the many presents r they received. , After receiving the warm congratula: tions of a host of friends, Mr. and Mrs. McNeely left for North Carolina. Denmark will be their future home. A large 5 circle of friends join in wishing long life, prosperity and happiness to the young 3 couple. 1 O. j| Barnwell, 8. C., July 5,1904.
