Young White Man Shot and Instantly Killed by a Negro. Tuesday night about 9.30 o'clock a young white man named Willie Cutter , was shot and instantly killed at Midway by a negro named Anderson. Rather it is supposed that Anderson did the kill* ing. A negro named Isaiah Bartley was with Anderson when the shooting took place, but he says Anderson fired the fatal shot. That he did not shoot at all. Bartley was arrested and is now in jail, but Anderson skipped out and has not 1 been arrested yet. Young Cutter was connected with a dog show which was giving performances at Midway. He came from near St. George, Dorchester county, and had only been with the show three days, joining it at St. (ieorge. The tent of the show was pitched near the depot, and the two negroes, Anderson and Bartley, climbed up on a box car and watched the performance Tuesday night through a hole in the tent. After the show young Cutter told them if they did it again he would have them arrested. They replied in an impndent manner and cursed him, and as he took a step forward as if to approach them, one or both of them drew pistols and commenced firing at Cutter. Several shots were fired, and after the first shot Cutter turned and ran and was shot in the back, the bullet going almost through his body. He ran a few steps and fell dead. There were only two eye witnesses to the killing, Messrs. E. W. Duensing and J. M. Stokes, who were standing some distance away. They saw the negroes together, but could not say which one did the shooting. The verdict of the jury was that Cutter was killed by John Anderson or Isaiah Bartley, and .both mill tFiA/l fnr the nrime if Anderson is caught. ! The news ok the shooting was immediately brought to Bamberg and Magistrate W. R. Wright, acting as coroner, went down and held the inqnest. Search was made for Anderson, but he could not be found. Bartley was found at his home and arrested. The body of young Cutter was sent home yesterday morning, the town council of Midway and the county furnishing a coffin and burial clothes. Mr. J. M. Stokes accompanied the body back to St. George. Magistrate Wright worked all night and the inquest was finished early yesterday morning. Dr. Vance W. Brabham conducted the aqtopsy. Both negroes ran off immediately after the shooting, and while Anderson is still in hiding, it is thought he will be apprehended before long. While several shots were fired at young Cutter by the negroes, only one took effect. Anderson bears a bad character. He shot a negro at Midway some time in January, but did not kill him. He was out on bond, and was to have been tried for the shooting at court next week. Anderson works for Manuel Curry, a negro near Midway, and Curry was on his bond for $200. In case Anderson is not captured, Curry will have to pay the bond. Lectnre at Baptist Church. On Friday evening at 8:15 o'clock Mrs. Sophia Brunson, a returned missionary, will lecture at the Baptist church. The subject will be "An Evening in Japan." Mrs. Brunson will be assisted by four young people of the church who will be dressed in Japanese costumes. Admission 25cts. Card of Thanks.

INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. At a meeting of the board of trustees, held last week, Dr. R. P. Pell was reelected president of Converse college at Spartanburg. It is announced that Dr. D. K. Pearson, of Chicago, offers to give $25,000 to the endowment fund of Newberry college, on the usual terms. Three children, the eldest eight years old, were burned to death in Union county last Saturday. It was the old story of locking children in the house while the parents went off to work. Senator Tillman and J. F. Lyon, of the dispensary investigating committee, are having a spicy correspondence in the newspapers over dispensary matters. The correspondence is interesting but not enlightening. One of the school districts of Marlboro county has absolutely refused to share in the profits of the. dispensary, and more than enough money was contributed in a meeting of patrons to make np the amount of dispensary profits received by the district. A meeting of the executive committee of the State Press Association was held in Newberry last week, and it was decided to hold the annual meeting of the association at the Isle of Palms some time in June, the exact date to be fixed later. Mr. Ed Town, one of the overseers on the Barnwell county chain gang, was accidentally shot last Monday while operating the road machine, by his pistol fall ing from his pocket. The bullet took effect in his head. He is evidently dangerously wounded, and was carried to the hospital in Columbia for treatment. The controversy between the Millikens and Mr. Lucas for the control of the Laurens cotton mills and the Darlington mill was settled last week. Lucas offered some time ago to buy the Milliken stock at a stated price or sell the stock of himself and friends at the same figure. The Millikens refused the proposition at that time, but they have now concluded to buy the stock. This will give them control of the mills. The Laurens mill stock sold for $170 a share and the Darlington mill at $65. MADE SHONTS PAY HIS FARE. Pass Didn't Get Him Free Seat in Drawing Room of a Parlor Car. Savannah, April 7.?Railroad men are telling a story about the passing through the city of W. F. Shonts, chairman of the isthmian canal commission, on his way to Florida and Panama. Mr. Shonts, as president of the Clover Leaf system, was travelling on a pass. He was approached by the conductor, about as husky a specimen of manhood as Mr. Shonts is, who told him he would have to pay an extra fare or not occupy the drawing room of a parlor car. Mr. Shonts produced his pass, but the conductor said that the agreement between the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Pennsylvania system was that pass holders could not occupy the drawing rooms unless they paid an extra fare. Mr. Shonts opined that he would not pay the extra fare. The conductor declared that Mr. Shonts would pay or be put out. Mr. Shonts wanted to know who would conduct the ejectment. The conductor said he would do the job himself if Mr. Shonts didn't produce the money in ten minutes. The conductor went away and returned on schedule time, and?Mr. Shonts paid. DISPENSARY HAS GLASS.

It's the same with paint making.

Buy L. & M. and don't pay $1.50 a gallon for linseed oil, as you do in ready-foruse paint, but buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents, and mix with the L. & M.

Supreme Court Sustains Order of Railroad Commissioners. x Columbia, April 10.?An order was filed in the Supreme Court today dismissing the petition of the Atlantic Coast Line for a rehearing in the now celebrated Latta case, which means a final victory so far as the courts of this State are concerned for the railroad commis- ' <v|l sion, in insisting that the Atlantic Coast Line stop its Florida Flyer trains at Latta, as it does at Latta's nearby rival town, Dillon. It is understood that the case will be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the order of the commission interferes with interstate traffic. Suicide at Woodruff. Woodruff, April 7.?Jim Sherbert, a respectable farmer, living near Hobbysville, about six miles from this place, committed suicide last night about mid-* night by shooting himself in the heart with a shotgun. Mr. Sherbert, according to his family's statement, was in his usual good health and his mind was perfectly sound so far as they could detect. During the night Mr. Sherbert got out of bed without disturbing any member of the family, later in the night he was missed and from the fact that he did not come in at about the . vvj time he should have done so the family went out to look for him and found him dead not far from the house. Mr. Sherbert was about 60 years old, and a very thrifty farmer. He had hid in some place near his place about $3,000, which he has always kept buried. He had no faith in the good banks of the country and it is very likely that not even his wife knows where his money is Black Brute Strikes Woman in Street Car. New York, April 10.?Infuriated by a brutal assault by a negro tonight on Miss Isabel Oliver, a resident of Alabama, pas sengers on a Ninth avenue elevated train made a desperate attempt to lynch the negro, who was only rescued when a policeman fought his way into the car and held the crowd at bay with his re- , volver. Miss Oliver was holding to a strap in the centre of the car when the negro lurched against her and on her requesting him to be more careful, struck '-M her in the face, splitting her nose, blackening both her eyes and knocking her down. Instantly fully 50 men rushed on tbe negro raining blows on him and shouting, "Lynch him." The negro managed to defend himself until a station was reached, when a policeman boarded the car and after a hard struggle dragged his prisoner out. The negro was taken ' ?1 to the station house followed by a mob of several hundred men who were held back by the pistols of tbe policemen. In the station house Miss Oliver sprang at the prisoner and attempted to stab him with a hat pin, but was held and disarmed by a policeman. The prisoner was a West Indian negro, who gave the name of vg Albert Trotti. Negotiations are being conducted be-* tween committees from the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges andfthe officers of Bamberg Banking Company for a lodge room in the new bank building soon to be erected.
