As usual, the parents ) had gone off and left the children at home. ] , The door was not fastened, however, yet j none of them escaped. x At Greers, Spartanburg county, last t Wednesday morning, Edward Braswell t and Thomas Stiles had a dispute about the t well they were both using, and each shot the other.

Mr. < "Wright's brother-in-law, Mr. W. F.Bowe, of Augusta, came up in time to prevent this, and he and Mr. Wright started to put them out. On the way Mr. Bowe was ^ cut with a pocket knife by one of the ( men. He was cut across the chest and x stomach and on the left arm and shoul- c der. While the wounds are painful, they are not serious. The men were arrested s and gave bond for their appearance at a preliminary before Magistrate Moorman, f The men were J. L. Irby, W. A.

Some of the Patrons of the Cottageville School Dissatisfied, and Request Mr. C. L VVroton to Resign as Principal?The Board of Trustees Sustain HimAs Mr. Wroton was born and reared in his section and has many friends here tnd at Denmark, the following, taken rom the Walterboro correspond ence of he News and Courier, will interest them: For some time there has been a lively ime at Cottageville over school matters. *rnf C L. Wroten. a graduate of the Cit idel, class '88, was employed during the ummer as principal of the school. He :ame in dne time and opened the school. X appears that certain of the patrons vished Prof. Wroten to teach Latin in he school. This, he had informed the )oard of trustees, prior to his acceptance, le could not do, as Latin was not taught it the Citadel. The trustees informed lim that this was all right and requested lim to open the school at the stated time. This Prof. Wroten did. Soon he was requested by several of the pati'ons in a petition to resign. This he declined to io. The patrons were insistent, and Prof. Wroten determined, so each employed attorneys and on Monday the case ivas tried before the board of trustees and ;he following report of the proceedings svas published in the Colleton News, tvhich probably ends the matter, as Prof. Wroten is highly spoken of by a large najority of his patrons, and has unquesiioned ability and long experience as a successful teacher: "Messrs. J. G. Padgett, James E. Peurifoy, W. B. Gruber and C. C. Tracy, all ippeared before the board of trustees of Jottageville school district Monday, upon complaint made against Prof. C. L. Wro;en. Mr. Gruber, with whom were Messrs. Padgett and Peurifoy, appeared for the complainants, who were several of the patrons of the school, and Mr. Tracy ippeared for Prof. Wroten. The majority >f~ the board (the minority dissenting) ield that Prof. Wroten, a graduate of the Ditadel, was properly employed by them, ;hough at the time of such employment, md still was, without a certificate from ;he county or State board of examination. Upon this holding the complaint agaiDSt Prof. Wroten was withdrawn, and Mr. 3ruber gave notice of. appeal." A Personal Favor of the Court. One of the most picturesque figures of ;he New York bar was the late Thomas STolan, a lawyer, whose witty retorts furlished subjects for merriment at many awyeris gathering. Now, Nolan was at it one time counsel for a poor vridow vho was suing a construction company 'or the death of her husband. The c^se lad been placed upon the day calendar, )ut had been frequently postponed, and klrs. Moriarity by the time she had made ier fifth call was in an exceedingly disurbed frame of mind, consequently the ones of Nolan's rich brogue were more ,han usually fervid as he fought against ;he sixth adjournment. "I am sorry," said Justice Dugro, "but rour opponent has shown me good cause 'or the adjournment, Mr. Nolan, and the sase will, therefore, go over until to morrow." "Very well, sor," said the barrister, sweetly, "but might I ask a personal favor )f this coort ?" "Certainly, sir, with pleasure." "Will your honor kindly step down to ny office and just tell Mrs. Moriarity that r-ou have adjourned the case ?" MOTHERS"PRAISE IT.

Are Friends for a Minute. Levy and Cohen came out of the synagogue on New Year's Day. It was the lay of atonement, of forgiving, of ma ting ip, says the New Orleans TimesOem >crat. Levy approached Cohen and extended > great flat hand. < "Cohen," said he, ve haf not sphoked or dwendy years. Come! Ye make riends." Cohen silently shook. "Now Cohen," continued the reconcilimt, "ve go ofer to Bunkleheim's unt haf i drink." Arm in arm they crossed the street. Drinks were ordered and set before them. Cohen convinced at last of the sincerity >f the other's advances, spoke for the first ime. "Levy," he said, "I am glad of it. I raise ay glass to you Levy. Vish me somelings!" "Mit all my heart," replied Levy and aising his glass in turn. "Cohen, my iear friendt," said he, "I vish you shoots at you vish me!" The growing smile faded from Cohen's ace, and he sat his glass down with a iQ-Tl or ?? "Py Abraham!" he exclaimed, "now ou're stharting it all over, again!" MANY OF LIKE OPINION.

BROKE UP THE FUNERAL I Savannah Fire Department Horse Drawing the Hearse Breaks up the Procession. A Federal official who has just returnid from Savannah, tells a story'of the ireaking up of a funeral procession in Savannah recently on account of the unlertaker having a former fire department lorse in his hearse. The horse had got;en unfit for service, and a swap was nade by the department authorities with he undertaker, by which the latter gave t horse which he had found unfitted for lis department and received in return the >ld fire animal. When the funeral profession was going through Broughton itreet, the fire alarm sounded and the enfines passed thfe funeral cortege. The old lepartment horse became excited and inally broke away from the line of cariagees, hacks and buggies^and ran madly lown the street in the track of the enfines., carrying the corpse with him to he fire. The horse refnsed to be conrolled, and the hearse was pulled over tose and through the crowds, until it inally came to a stop near the fire. There vere, of course, some uncharitable people 0 make comment on the corpse beiDg arried to the fire, but however all this be, t is understood that the undertaker will ake no more chances for fear of hurting lis business, and he will swap that horse or another animal.

Crime Said to Have Been Committed on the < Way Home from Church?Parties Prominent and Near Neighbors. i Orangeburg, October 31.?A warrant was issued this morning by Magistrate C. : P. Brunson, of this city, upon an affidavit ; of Mr. Adam L. Shumaker, charging 1 David utt witn navmg committed an assault upon his daughter, Miss Lula Shumaker. Mr. Shumaker is a well-known farmer who resides in Goodby township, a few , miles this side of Elloree, and bears an excellent reputation as a good citizen and neighbor. The accused is a son of Mr. A. A. Ott, who is a successful farmer, residing on the State road only a few miles distant from the home of Mr. Shumaker. Young Ott is about 20 years of age, while the young lady is said to be about 17 years of age. The story is that yesterday afternoon one of Mr. Shumaker's boys and two of his girls went to Jerusalem church, a few miles'away, to attend a funeral, and as they were leaving young Ott asked Miss Lula to ride with him.' It was late in the afternoon and he lingered behind the other buggies going in the same direction. After they had passed he stopped in some woods near the road and, it is alleged, committed the crime. He then drove the young lady near her father's house and told her to get out and walk home. This she refused to do through mortification. He then took her to his father's house. Young Ott then left home and went to the house of Amos Dantzler to spend the night. It was not until this mnrnincr that. \Tr Shiimnkpr xcas ftrvnriKPft I of his daughter's whereabouts and condition, and this information came first to him from Mr. Dantzler, to whom young Ott had told of the occurrence, making him his confidant. Mr. Shumaker went to the home of Mr. Ott for his daughter and with his wife ascertained that young ptthad accomplished his purpose and then he set out for Orangeburg to intercept Ott. His information was that Ott was coming to Orangeburg early this morning for the purpose of disposing of his horse and buggy and to take the first train to leave the country. The young man has several scratches on his face and the contention is that he received them in the struggle with the young lady. It is also said that he had been drinking. As soon as Mr. Shumaker reached Orangeburg this morning he consulted his attorneys, Messrs. Raysor and Summers, and the warrant of arrest was procured. Constable Foures was sent out by Magistrate Brunson to search for young Ott, and he was informed that he had started back for the country with a negro in a buggy. Mr. Foures, however, found Ott in the city, arrested him at once and lodged him in jail. Young Ott denies the above story and gave the constable a different version. When the girl refused to go to her home he took her to his father's, showed her to a I room up stairs, told his mother of her presence in the house and he then went to his own room and retired. He said that he came to Orangeburg this morning to return a horse that he had recently bought and had a negro to take him back to his home but was prevented from returning by the arrest. It is said that young Ott had been paying attention to the young lady but that Mr. Shumaker objected to his attentions and would not allow him to come to his house. All the people concerned have a good standing in the county. There is some conflict between the current reports concerning the affair, hence the contentions of both sides are given above as nearly correct as possible. It is probable that there will be a preliminary examination held very soon and then the full facts will be brought out. The affair was not known until this morning over in the neighborhood of the homes of the people concerned and so far no expressions have reached Jiere from the neighbors. Barnwell News.
