Smith, formerly of this city, and Mr. T.M. Brown, a well known I;- lumber man of Ctapin, occurred at that place yesterday morning. Both men, it is said, emptied their guns at each other, but neither of them was hit. Theshootfi'-.-Y ing occurred as the train from Laurens over the Columbia, Newberry and Laur* ens^railroad was leaving the station, and it is alleged to be the result of the rela' tions between Dr. Smith and the wife of Mr. Brown. It is said by those who saw the shooting that Dr. Smith was boarding the i n-hon Mr I train on us way iu wium V/iW If uvu *.?. # . Brown opened fire on him from the side j * of the track. The doctor dashed into the baggage car and returned the fire through I the door. The passengers on the train were greatly alarmed by the firing, but j no one was hurt. Dr. Smith continued on the train and came as far as Irmo, where he stopped, and, it is said, went back through Chapin on the nest train in that direction, and went on in the direction of Laurens. Mrs. Brown left Chapin on tl^ night before the shooting and went from there to Laurens. N Rumor has it that Dr. Smith and Mrs. Brown have been connected by gossip for some time, but that on Wednesday they were seen together walking in the woods and it was this and the subsequent de* parture of Mrs. Brown that brought the matter to a crisis yesterday. The affair was reported to President Childs of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad soon after the arrival of the train in this city. Mr. Childs investigated the matter carefully and announced yesterday afternoon that he would place the case in the hands of the attorney for j the company with a view to having both | parties arrested for firing into and from I the train. He was indignant that the tv,o should have been I passengers* uu Kxjv . submitted to this danger, and seems de'? termined to bring tbe case into the courts. Dr. Smith is a son of Capt. C. M. Smith of this city, the local agent of the Atlantic Coast Line. He is about 28 years of age and is a married man. Mr. Brown is J from Virginia and is connected with the I lumber mills of Charles P. Robinson, of | k Chapin.?Columbia State May, 6. j Drunkards in Turkey. The Turks have a singular manner of regulating drunkenness. If a Turk overtaken with wine falls down in the street j and is arrested by the guard he is sen- I tenced to the bastinadc. This punish-1 ment is repeated as far as the third of- J fense, after which he is regarded as in- j '* corrigible and called "imperial drunkard" " ~'~x A " Tf he is then! or "pnviiugeu umuacu. - arrested he has only to name himself,! mention his lodging, say he is a "privi- j leged drunkard." He is released and sent to sleep upon the hot ashes of the baths.?Ex. The United States district court has ordered the sale of the Union cotton mill May 23.

The closing of the gates in Peking just because it goes on daily and may apparently go on daily for centuries to come is probably one of the "sights" least witnessed and talked of save by those foreigners who may have chanced to "run for it" near closing time. The daily performance is marked with a due ceremony which is quaint and full of interest to the intelligent onlooker, * as the closing by no means signifies the mere bringing together of the heavy wooden doors and barring the emperor's highway against all comers. At the appointed hour a preliminary signal is given by a large gong or iron shield being struck with a big iron bar fifty times in such quick succession as almost to defy calculation. This is followed by a signal of 100 blows repeated in precisely the same fashion Whf>n thp third and last I cycle of gong strokes is entered on a number of old and at this season very much bow-added and muffled up old "Charlies" start a series of discordant yells to all and sundry to "hasten" or they will be shut out. This combination of signals is followed by a jostling stream of people in both directions. Presently the rush slackens until only a solitary pedestrian or possibly a man on a donkey, full tilt, a belated rickshaw or a heavily laden cart struggles through. Then a movement is made with the gates, yelling bursts out afresh and another rush ensues, the gates being meanwhile half closed and occasionally opened a little way again until, the outgoers having meanwhile ceased, there is a final scrimmage to get into the city, and the process of closing, which has taken some half hour in all, is concluded. The huge iron plated doors having clanged to, a monster iron pole is dragged up and placed across them on iron supports, being retained in position by a padlock of enormous proportions and of the well known Chinese type. There are in all nineteen gates, and the same ceremony is observed at each, but at such thoroughfares as the Hatamen there is naturally more traffic. and the process is probably proportion- | ately longer.?Peking Times.

They Had No Dinner. | The absentminaeaness or a certain | well known Scotch professor is notorij ous. Not long ago he invited a few select friends to dine with him, and upon their arrival, some short time before the hour set apart for dinner, the professor suggested a walk through the conservatory and grounds until the gong should sound the dinner hour. After spending a short time -fnspectI ing flowers, plants, etc., host and j guests came suddenly to a small gate I at the end of the lawn. "Ah," said the professor to his astonished guests, "assuredly this will be a much nearer way home for you than going back to the front." And, all unconscious of his invitation to dinner, he opened the gate and bowed his guests out.?London Answers. Superutition of the Turks. The superstition of the Turks is noI iT-V>af?k ork nnnnrpnt ns in their fear of VI JUU1V ov VMW -? the "evil eye." Jugs placed around the edge of the roof or an old shoe filled with garlic and blue beets (blue glass balls or rings) is a sure guard against the illusion. Whenever a pretty child is playing upon the street the passersby will say, "Oh, what an ugly child!" for fear of inciting the evil spirit against its beauty. The peasant classes in Turkey are of course the most superstitious because they are the most Ignorant. They have no education whatever and can neither read nor write. Richard Alexander, a 13-year-old white boy, was killed in the Orr cotton mills last Monday by being struck by an ele vator weight. The boy was leaning over the shaft while the elevator was in motion. AGEN \ vE Tyson & Jon I Taylor & Cani J Anchor 1 jJ I Rock Hill Parry Mann Part American ( Yorkville Negro Shot in Aiken. Aiken, S. C., May 8.?Last night Policeman Musco Samuel shot to death William Johnson, colored, alias William Avery, who violently resisted arrest. At the coroner's inquest today the officer was exonerated from all blame. The killing occurred in Revestown, a suburb of Aiken. Johnson was creating a general disturbance, and an officer was sent to take him in charge. He took refuge in a house and resisted. Chief Howard was sent for, and he and Policeman Samuel made the man prisoner after a desperate struggle in which Chief Howard discharged bis pistol. After Johnson was taken outside, Chief Howard left him in the custody of Samuel The negro began another struggle in which both men fell to the ground. Johnson in the struggle obtained possession of the officer's pistol. Samuel retained the weapon and shot the negro to death, inflicting three wounds. The coroner's jury exonerated Samuel, as stated, but. the matter will probably go through the formality of presentment to the grand jury. m _ o * n ?? I O a omari .rruperiy v/w uci . Painting is practical work. Skill wins. It's the same with paint making. You know 4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3 gallons linseed oil makes enough paint for a moderate sized house?the best paint money can buy?because the L. & M. zinc hardens the L. & M. white lead and makes the L & M. paint wear like iron. Buy L. & M. and don't pay $1.50 a gallon for linseed oil, a9 you do in ready-foruse paint, but buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents, and mix with the L. & M. Actual cost L & Al. about $1.20 per gallon. Sold by fl. F. Hoover, Bamberg, S. C. It pours the oil of life into your system. It warms you up and starts the life blood circulating.
