T-'onnadr l'e cnontlin? lUl&O nuill IVCUU^UJ aa Wf uaava.^o some time with Miss Elizabeth Roberts. Saturday night about eleven o'clock our town was aroused by a gun shot and screams. Upon investigation it was found that Perkins Copeland, colored, had shot John Bingley, colored, in the left hip with a shot gun. The load of shot broke the bone in the thigh about three inches from the hip joint. . The doctors say that Bingley will 4die if they amputate or leave it on, so they concluded to let it stay as they found it. Loose women of their race is at the bottom of all the trouble. Mr. A. W. Brabham brought in two bales of cotton last week. They were rather green and did not show up good samples.

Denmark, August 19.?Mr. Henry Raysor, of Ocala, a la., and Miss Roberta Reed were married yesterday, the 18th, at the home of the bride's uncle, Mr. D. B. Reed, in this city, in the presence of a few friends. Kev. J. B. Traywick performed the ceremony. Mr. Raysor is surely a fortunate man, for Miss Roberta was one of our very best girls. The good wishes and prayers of all Cur people go with them, that they may have a happy life. We are pained to announce the death of Hon. Eugene T. LaFitte, who had but recently come among us to live. He was well-known here before. He had just built an ele - * A. * il v..x gant nome, so soon to xeave 11, uui such are the uncertainties of this life. He leaves a widow and two children. ; We have had some fever of late, but the type has been mild. No deaths; no serious sickness. Indeed, our community is remarkably healthy. Some of our people have hied away for rest and healing waters. Among them are Jacob D. Baxter to Glenn Springs, and Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Rice to Hot Springs, Ark. The piilpit of the Baptist church was filled the second Sunday by Rev. W. D. McMillan, of Blackville, as the pastor, Rev. Lewis M. Rice, was detained at his home in Union by sickness in his family. He only preaches here one Sunday a month. We are anxious to have him move into our town. The Sunday-school at the Methodist church has grown to large proportions since they have gone into the new church. Cap;t. J. B. Guess, the genial and efficient superintendent, wears a smile that won't come off. He will need a number of new teachers. During the past week Rev. J. B. Traywick has conducted a series of revival services at Binnaker's school house. The services were held at night?moonlight. Crowds were large. Quite a number joined the churches since the meeting. Mr. Traywick has been off a little with fever, but is up again. Mr. J. A. Wiggins also has been a little unwell of late, but is still to be found at his office in the bank. Both these gentlemen need a rest. The tremendous strain through which they passed in building the high school and church, with no let up on their regular work was enough to put them aside for repairs for a while.

OBSERVER. Thrown Into Manhole. Yorkville, Aug. 16.?An accident; which might have proved quite a serious if not fatal one occurred here last Friday night. Mr. John R. Shurley, a clerk in the York drug store, with Miss Leon White, eldest daughter of Alderman John P. White, was in a buggy driving up King's Mountain street, going to a party at the residence of Mr. John S. Sandifer at the King's Mountain Military school building. As they were opposite the residence of Mr. L. R. Williams the buggy slipped into an excavation, called a manhole, dug by the sewerage workmen. It was about 10 feet deep and the same across. There was no red lantern there to give notice of danger, it is said, and the wheels of the buggy slipped in, throwing the young man and lady in the hole. Then the buggy toppled in and the horse fell on top of it. Fortunately they were not crushed to death and Mr. Shurley was'at his business next day, but the young lady is confined to her bed and the physician says she is suffering from great shock and it can not be ascertained what her injuries are. The horse and buggy were hired from Barron Bros., liverymen, and they claim the horse is injured. They tendered it to the superintendent of the sewerage construction, but he declined to receive it and says he was not responsible for the accident. ir" : i Arrested on Fraud Charge. On last Saturday Branchville was treated to a mild sensation when it became known that an attempted swindling of one of her citizens had been nipped in the bud. An advertisement appeared in the State some time ago wanting a manager for South Carolina to sell scales for the Standard Computing Scale Company, of Detroit, Michigan. A correspondence was entered into by Mr. G. M. Noble of this place, and J. T. Martin, who claimed to be the secretary of the company. He wanted to establish a distributing agency in Columbia. Mr. Noble met him in Charleston last week to conclude the arrangement resulting from Mr. Martin's offer which was, that to insure earnest effort on Mr. Noble's part he was to purchase $500 worth of stock'in the company. In return he was to be appointed manager for South Carolina. They were to go to Columbia and select an office which was to be fur?~ J ? 'v?A A tirA n msueu re ill, irec. .ur. iiuuic nao iu receive a salary of $100 per month and ten per cent, on all sales. When he returned from Charleston a friend advised Mr. Noble to communicate with the, house which Martin claimed to represent before closing the deal. In reply, the company informed Mr. Noble that they did not know this man at all, that he was a swindler, and to have him arrested. Saturday he was to have been joined here by Mr. Noble and they were to go to Columbia and commence work. By claiming he could not pay over the money until later in the day, Mr. Noble induced Mr. Martin to stop over for the day. Constable A. R. Byrd was on hand, and he was arrested. Martin protested that it was all a mistake but he was taken to Orangeburg and lodged in jail. A request has since reached here that he be held for a similar offense elsewhere. United States Commissioner Robert Lide has also issued a warrant for him for using the mails unlawfully. He claims that his father is president of one of the trust companies of Louisville, Ky.?Branchville Journal. TOUGH GAFFNEY CITIZEN / Not Only Got Drank Himself bnt . Made Two Little Girls Drank. Gaffney, August 10.?Almost the entire population of "Stumptown," a part of the Gaffney Manufacturing company's mill village, was in the mayor's court this morning as wit-1 nesses against one Joe Medlin, a citizen of unsavory reputation, who resides in the aforesaid "Stumptown." Medlin was charged .with being drunk and disorderly and disturbing the peace of the community on the Sabbath day. He not only got drunk himself, but he gave whiskey to two little girls or aoout iweive years' of age, making them both beastly drunk. The worst part of the transaction is that one of the girls was his own child. The other was a Jennings girl. When arrested yesterday, Medlin was required to deposit fifteen dollars for his appearance this morning, and when the case, was called he failed to appear, and his bond was forfeited. It is very probable that if he had been present Mayor Ross would have given him the fujl limit after the facts in the case were brought out. A Letter to G. Frank Bamberg, Bamberg, S. C. 'Dear Sir: We asked City. Drug Co, Crystal Springs, Miss, to sell Devoe.

They painted the house of W B McCluney two coats on purpose to test the two paints against one-another; one coat Devoe 6 gallons; the other coat that other paint 10 gallons.

A southern physician related a number of funny experiences among the colored folks at the time of a smallpox scare in which a general vaccination crusade had been undertaken. One case was an old colored woman, who said she had no time to stop work to be sick from vaccination; that the children would starve and freeze if she could not do her laundry work, and that it was positively out of the question to have a lame arm. "Well, auntie," said the doctor, "I will vaccinate you on one of your lower limbs, so it won't interfere with your work." "No, siree," said auntie; "I can't spare one o' my laigs, neither." Thon fhp doctor said kindly: "Well, what spot could you spare, because you must be vaccinated." The old colored woman thought and thought, and finally said slowly: "Well?Lord knows?I don't never get no chance to?set down." High School For Branchville. Branchville, Aug. 14.?An election' on the high school, special school tax and issuing of bonds questions i was held here to-day. It resulted i in an overwhelming victory in favor of the propositions, not a vote being cast against the bonds and only j one against the high school and special school tax. The .school tax is one mill on the dollar and the bonds $3,000. The trustees are doing everything they can to get the high school this year. | / 4 1 / pouicai I I9th Session \ (Handsome Brick Bui Booms, Art Studio, Pari sium, Dining Boom, Kite on every floor.
