A Queer Suit. A queer suit has been filed in the circuit court in Kansas city, Mo., which will determine the rights of bees to run at large. Abraham Hauf, living a few miles northwest of there, has several stands of bees. His neighbor, Mrs. Alstrum, claims that Hauf s bees come into her yard on each wash day and walk on the clean ' clothes with their muddy feet. She therefore asks the court perpetually to restrain Hauf s bees from wandering. Reports from all sections of Southern Texas are to the effect that the drought has practically ruined the corn crop and that it is an utter failure. In Central Texas it is little better, but a rain during the week would save some portion of it. L It is reported that cattle are beginning to die for the lack of water in the coast districts, where it has not rained since the middle of February. * r K BAMBEI >EALER I N LAND VEHICLI Stock in thus he State BENSON BOUN DEAD.

JP AGEN L\\J> Tyson & Jon I Taylor & Cana ? Anchor I UU | Rock Hill Parry Mann: Part American ( Yorkville Killing at Ehrharrit. The testimony of the coroner's inquest has not yet been filed in the clerk of ' court's office, and in the absence of details, The Herald uses the accounts of the Ehrbardt killing sent in by the corre. ] spondents of the News and Courier and < The State. The following is from the : News and Courier: I < Bamberg, July 10.?At an early hour < this morning Joe M. Kinsey, Charley , Kinsey and Junior Kinsey rode into ( town and announced that the first named ' had killed Otis Davis, colored, in Ehrbardt, this county, late yesterday afternoon. They are sons of Dr. C. E. Kinsey, a prominent practicing physician of Bamberg. - 1 The killing and the circumstances leading up thereto are related as follows: Young Kinsey is employed by Mr. Thomas Black, of this place, to sell and collect for organs and sewing machines in the territory adjacent to Bamberg. Some time ago he sold an organ to Otis Davis, colored. On July 1 Davis was to make a payment on it, but failed to do so. Young Kinsey went there a few days ago to make the collection, but failed to get anything from Davis except insults and threats. He told him he would return yesterday for the money or the organ. Accordingly, accompanied by his two brothers, he drove up to the home of Davis late yesterday afternoon^ and was met with curses and threats. The young men made their intention of taking the organ known and Davis said: "Let me get my gun and I will fix v. u," and turned to go into his house. He was ordered to stop, but paid no attention to it, and was fired upon by Joe M. Kinsey as he entered the house. The ball struck him in the back and he was almost instantly killed. Kinsey claims to have acted in self-defence. It is said the negro bears a bad reputati )n and that he was known as a desperate character. Acting Coroner Copeland is holding the inquest at Ehrhardt today and the Kinsey boys are here awaiting the result. It is their intention to surrender to the sheriff as soon as the papers implicating them are placed in bis bands. Attorneys John R. Bellinger and B. W. Miley have been retained for the defence. Fred Hancock, a prisoner in the Es-; cambia county (Alabama) jail, charged with murder, committed suicide last Saturday. He left a note saying he wanted to go where he could get justice. Scholarship Examinations. Examinations were conducted by the county board of education at the court bouse last Friday for scholarships in Winthrop college. College of Charleston, and the University of South Carolina. Sevep young ladies entered the Winthrop contest, but two quit and one got sick, so only four finished the examination. Two of these stood the examination for entrance into the college, while the other two competed for the scholarship. There was only one applicant for the scholarship in the University of South Carolina and none for the College of Charleston. The examination papers have been sent to the college authorities for examination and the result will be announced as soon as they determine who the winners are. It has caused more laughs and dried more tears, wiped away diseases and driven away more fears than any medicine in the world. Hollisler's Rocky Mountain Tea. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets. H. F. Hoover.

J Following is the Account of the Killing of < the Negro Otis Davis at Ehrhardt, as J Taken from The State. < Bamberg, July 10.?News reached here < this morning that Mr. Joseph Einsey of J Bamberg had shot and killed a negro < named Otis Davis at Ehrhardt in this i county. ' < The facts as they are obtainable at this < time are as follows: It seems that Einsey, < who sells organs and machines for Mr. < Thomas Black of this place, had sold < Davis a machine, payments on which < were to be made in installments, and < notes for the several payments were giv- \ en. The first note was due July 1 and i Einsey had gone for the purpose of col- J lecting the amount on that date. But the \ negro, so it is stated, declared that the < note did not fall due until July 12 and re- < fused to pay the amount. He cursed voc- i iferously and drew a pistol on Einsey. " Einsey then went to Ehrhardt, where he ( told his brother, Charlie, and the policeman of what had occurred. They return- ed to Davis' home and found that he had left. He was located in a swamp, where . he was arrested. Joe Einsey told the I neero that he would be given one week to j pay the amount. So yesterday, he with jhis two brothers, Charlie, who lives in [ Ehrhardt, and Junior of Bamberg, went [ to the negro's house to collect the note, j The negro refused, it is stated, and said that he would get his pistol and they could, shoot it out. Joe Einsey. told him j to stop, but the negro refused after being admonished several times and Joe Einsey shot him. Davis died a short while after. The Einsey boys came to Bamberg to give themselves up to the sheriff. , Joe Einsey is a young man about 22 J or 23 years old and is a son of Dr. C. E. Einsey of this place. i Davis was employed by Mr. C. Ehrhardt and is said to have been a rowdy character. Rigorous Discipline. A correspondent has sent me the folr lowing advertisement, which appeared recently in a country paper: "Wanted, a 1 ware houseman. Applicants must be accustomed to rigorous discipline. Only the offers of such candidates will be entertained who have served in. the army ( or have been married for a considerable length of time." Not Buzzard All the Time. "Senator," said a man who had just come from the house, to Senator Tillman, "the house conferees on the railroad rate bill have got a new proposition for you." "What is it?" asked Tillman, much in- ' terested. "Why, they will let you write the antipass paragraph if you will let them write the common court paragraph." "Now, see here," shouted Tillman, jumping up and down, "do these people think I am goipg to take bnzzard for mine every time?"?Washington Correspondence New York World.
