Suit has been entered against Lancaster county for $50,000 damages for the lynch; ing of a white man named J. T. Morrison at Kershaw some months ago. The suit is brought in the name of w. T. Castles, administrator of the estate of Morrison. % John Clegg, formerly a, policeman at Greenwood, was tried there last week for killing his young son. He was acquitted, the testimony showing that he was crazed with drink at the time of the killing, and that he did not know what he was doing. !! The Democratic voters of Bessie precinct, in Greenville county, met last week and adopted resolutions asking for the resignation of County Commissioner Neves, Grand Jury Expert Oscar Hodges, and Comptroller General Jones. They took this action because of the muddled condition of the county's finances. The Spartanburg friends of Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin have invited him to visit that city on Saturday, September 2nd, and make a speech on any subject he wants to. He has a large number of warm friends in that city and county, and they do not like the way Mr. McLaurin was | treated on the day of the cotton meeting % there. Douglas Johnson, a white boy 17 years | _ old, shot and killed his young friend, Jos eph Baldwin, aged 16 years, in Lancaster | county'last week. The two boys were handling a shot gun when it went off and I killed Baldwin. The two boys were good friends and it was clearly an accident. The same old story of fooling with an 4*un!oaded gun." A company has been organized in Columbia with $50,000 capital to build a 1 press cloth factory in that city.

The t Chronicle says it was cruel to keep the s prisoners in such a hot and poorly vepti- t H filed place. In the court of general sessions at Lex- s ington last week, Geo. B. McCombs, ex- e hfiayor of New Brookland, along with T. t D. Mitchell, formerly town policeman, and M. L. Fox were found guilty of tampering with the election returns of the I municipal election held in New Brookland last May. At the time McCombs a was intendant of the town and was rnn- o ning for re-election, being opposed by J. n 8. Gunnells. Mitchell and Fox were managers of the election, and they entered into a conspiracy with McCombs to d count Gunnells out, which they did. An c investigation was had and Gunnels found ( t& be legally elected, whereupon the men -r named were arrested.

The .Portland man declared that the ground last winter never froze to a depth of two inches. "It froze two feet where I came from," said the man from New Jersey. "Up in the Adirondack mountains," remarked the New Yorker, "the ground last winter froze to a depth of ten feet." < The Iowa man sat quietly munching : his lettuce while the others expectantly awaited the effort to outmatch the New Y orker. "Pshaw!" he said, "that's nothing. Why back in Des Moines the ground froze so deep that the Chinese Emperor sent a request to Gov. Cummins to start a fire. He complained that bis subjects had cold feet." SHOOTING IN LEXINGTON. I Jim Hall, Jr., Probably Fatally Shot by Policeman Adam R. Metts. 1 Lexington, Aug. 19.?Young Jim Hall was shot and perhaps fatally wounded tonight by Adam R. Metts, policeman. The ' shootinff occurred at 9 o'clock in front of the postoffice and created quite a lot of excitement. Metts fired four times, three of the shots taking effect, one in each ? arm and a third in the back opposite the 1 heart. The latter will probably prove to ' be a mortal wound. One arm was broken. 1 Jim Hall is a mill operative, as is his ' father and brother. The three were ' quarreling in a wagon yard this after- ! noon over some family matters when Metts attempted to settle the disturbance 1 and became involved in a fisticuff with young Jim Hall. Both parties were bruised considerably and Metts lost his 1 pistol in the melee. Subsequently the pistol was returned to its owner and it was thought that matters had been quieted down. But tonight young Jim Hall came back up town and the quarrel was started anew between himself and Metts. The altercation occurred in front of the postoffice. The wounded man is said .to have been been sober, but the elder Jim Hall and the other son were drinking. Jim Hall, Jr., is a married man and a native of Lexington county. All of the Halls are mill operatives. Metts surrendered to Sheriff Corley and is now in jail awaiting the result of the injuries of the wounded man. Graded School Notice.

Decadence, Morally and Politically, Due to the System, Says the Former United States Senator. Washington, Aug. 16.?Ex-Senator John L. McLaurin was here today and svas seen at the Raleigh hotel. Discuss ing matters in south Carolina, he saia: 'This an off year in State politics and the national election is three yfears off, so, in a certain sense, there are no politics in South Carolina, yet in a certain way the forces are lining themselves up for what will be probably the fiercest political contest that has occurred since 1890. "In 1890 we had a contest in the State under the farmers' movement, as a result of which Tillman was made governor of the State. There has always been a strong temparence sentiment in South Carolina, especially in the upper part of the State. The county in which I live has been prohibition for sixty years except for a few years under carpet bag government. This feeling got so strong after Tillman's election that the question of prohibition was submitted to the people under the primary system and the verdict at the ballot box was overwhelmin gly for prohibition. Instead of passing a prohibition law, as decided by a vote of the people, they passed what is known as the dispensary law. This provides for the State handling all liquor, buying and selling through the official agents of the State. The opponents of the system have charged from the beginning that the system was corrupt, and its friends have at last been forced to admit that this is true. I do not think the mere fact of corruption is sufficient to stamp the system as a failure. but. in mv oDinion, its defects are in herent. The system of government under which we live has no place in it for the dispensary. For a sovereign State to engage in any business for a profit is wrong, and when you do this you open the way for all kinds of abuses. I think I can I point to one thing which illustrates my meaning. In 1890, when Governor Tillman was elected, he made charges against the judiciary and charges of 'incipient rottenness' against almost every branch of the State government. When he took charge he confidently expected that shortages in the State and county offices would be found. This was not . the case, for whatever might be said about the administration prior to 1890, the facts show that the government was honestly administered and no corruption of any kind was found in the State. Since 1890 we have had a scandal in the penitentiary, officers getting supplies of all kinds from the penitentiary, while today in about one-fourth of the counties in the State, investigations are pending, showing shortages in accounts of from a few hundred to $100,000, while an investigating committee is running around over the State unearthing irregularities in the dispensary, the existence of which is tacitly admitted. I attribute this decadence in moral and political affairs chiefly to the demoralizing effect of the State engaging in the liquor business. I do not believe that anything short of taking the State out of the whiskey business will purify the atmosphere. I hope that the fight will be made squarely upon the issue without regard to the personal or political fortunes of any man." A Little Brief Authority. When old Mose applied for work he was given a job?shoveling sand at $1 a day, says Lippincott's. A few days later the foreman passed near the sandbank and, to his surprise, saw Mose comfortably seated on a pile of sand, directing the movements of another dusky laborer. "Why, Mose!" he exclaimed, "I did not hire that man. What's he doing here?" "I got him er-doing my work, sah," replied Mose. "Who pays him?" was the next question. "I does, sah," was the response. "How much do you give him?" "A dollah a day, sah." "Why, that's all you receive, Mose. How do you profit by the transaction?" asked the amazed foreman. "Well," replied Mose, scratching his wooly head, "I gets to boss de job, doan' 1?" Negro Murderer Captured. Yorkville, Aug. 17.?A negro named Bob Smith was captured at Clover last Saturday and brought here and placed in tail. During the fall of 1889 he shot and silled another negro named Chambers Byers in the western portion of this county and escaped. For some years he has )een working at Spencer, N. C., but it is >aid that he has made several visits to his county since he committed the murler, to see his folks. The boycott of American goods in China threatens to assume serious propotions. The State Department at Washington is ooking into every feature of the situation, but it has been unable to accomplish anything. The effect of the boycott has not yet been felt by Souths *n men who nave a Chinese trade because contracts ire made six months ahead. It is feared, aowever, that if the boycott continues rhe contracts will not be renewed when they expire. MARRIED IN WEST UNION. Pretty Wedding of Mr. 0. F. Hunter to Mis* Emma Maude Atchison.

They entered the church to the strains of Tannhau- ^ ser's wedding march (organ), rendered by Miss Cora Atchison, of Clarksburg, Va./ sister of the bride, with a violin accompaniment by W. H. Galloway, of Columbia. During the ceremony the strains of Traurnerei were rendered softly and the bridal party left the church as Mendelssohn's march was played. "The bride has been a very popular young lady since her arrival in West Union, and at her home at J Weston she was a universal favorite. She was beautiful in a dress of white silk, trimmed with panels of shirred tucking 'and embroidered chiffon en train and high neck, with veil and orahgeblossoms. She carried an ivory prayer book from which the r ceremony was read. The ceremony was beautiful and impressive, the occasion \ one of great pleasure to the large bridal party.

Witsell, of Columbia, and Mrs. Haskell Simons, of Charleston. "Misses Annie Laurie Simons and Corinne Gregory, of Charleston, served punch in the alcove of the hall while in the west room Misses Elise and Charlotte Simons, of Charleston, served coffee. "The young couple left West Union on the 3 o'clock train for Port Royal, S. C., their future home, carrying with them the best wishes of hosts of friends. Mr* Hunter received most hearty congratula-^ . tions from all sides on his good fortune in winning such a charming bride. "The bride's going-away gown was dark blue serge, hat and gloves to match. "A number of handsome presents were received by the bride. "The following out-of-town guests were present: Rev. W. P. Witsell and wife, W. H. Galloway, Allen L.

Ridgeyille, August 30.?Mrs. Sarah Mouzon died at the home of her brother, the Rev. Henry C. Mouzon, at the Methodist parsonage, this Sunday morning at 6.30 o'clock. She has been in ill health for sometime and came here from her home in Bamberg a few weeks ago to be with her relatives. She was the daughter of the Rev. William Mouzon and wife of Dr. Henry J.
