HOMICIDE AT UNION.
Lucas Gall man Shot and Fatally
Wounded by John Ray.
' Union, November 7.?Lucas Gallman,
a young white man of this city,
was shot through the body about
. 7:30 o'clock last evening at the home
of John Ray, also white, who lived
just out of the corporation limits of
Union, and died about noon to-day.
In his statement made soon after he
was wounded Gallman said Ray sent
for him and that he went to Ray's
house and spent several hours. When
he started to leave, he said, Ray called
him back and shot him twice without
saying a word. The pistol used
was a 38 Smith and Wesson, and one
shot entered a little to the left of the
middle of the waist, passing entirely
through the body. The other shot
took effect in the back of Gallman's

of the skull.
There seems to have been absolutely
no quarrel. Gallman so stated,
and Ray, who was arrested and lodged
in jail immediately after the
shooting, declares he knows absolutely
nothing of the occurrence, he
being drunk at the time
An inquest was to have been held
this afternoon, but Coroner Hames,
/ whose wife is at death's door, adjourned
the inquest over till next
Monday
\ Negro Sentenced to Hang.
Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 6.?Will Graham,
a negro on trial at Concord for
criminal assault on Miss Pearl Tucker,
a 16-year-old white girl, confessed
to-day and was sentenced to hang December
18. The crime was committed
a month ago and, owing to fears
ft of lynching, a company of State militia
has ben on guard at the court
house during the trial. Graham was
remanded to the penitentiary to-night
under guard of the soldiers to await
the execution of the sentence.
v' To dose Dispensary.
Walterboro, November 5.?The
county dispensary board of control
held a meeting at 11 o'clock yester?
>; " day for the purpose of considering
^ the petition to close the county dispensary
at Jacksonboro. The petition
was presented by the following
gentlemen: W. E. Haskell, Jr., Jas.
M. Lawton, 6. E. Bisell, Samuel G.
Fitzsimmons, M. W. Brown and Her
V" mon Bishoff.
fCyr C. W. Butler, dispenser at JacksonV:
boro, was also present and entered his
protest against the closing of the dispensary.
C The county board, after hearing
the petitioners, decided to close the
dispensary January 1, 1909, and to
r remain closed as long as conditions
' warranted.
Among other things the petition
fi says:
V v "This institution is patronized mostly
by negro laborers from adjoining
plantations, wno congregate aivuuu
J 7 it? drinking, committing nuisances,
fighting and threatening the lives of
citizens, to their great terror, and
causing such citizens to be greatly apprehensive
of their personal safety;
so much so that they are actually
afraid to take up their winter resii
dences at their places of abode in and
around Jacksonboro.
"The presence of this institution
; at this point causes these negro laborers
to leave their work, especially
on Saturday at midday, for the purU-s
pose of purchasing liquors before the
flS-if same closes for the day and for use
\> oij Sunday, to the great loss of their
employers, to whom their time is now
most valuable."

New County Proposed.
Florence, November 6.?Mr. Stewart
Starr, editor of the Lake City
News, of Lake City, passed through
-the city this evening going to Columbia
to wait upon Governor M. F.
Ansel relative to the formation of the
new county of Rutledge, which is expected
to be formed out of Williamsburg,
Florence and Clarendon counties
with Lake City as the county
seat. Mr. Starr has fortified himself
with all of the necessary papers and
affidavits and other documents which

row. There are 1,100 names signed
to the petitions, and if the election
goes Florence County will lose Hannah
and Pee Dee townships in their
entirety. Mr. Starr will urge upon
the Governor the necessity of appointing
the commissioners at the
very earliest possible date, so that
the election can be had and the Legislature
confirm the election at its
approaching session.
Cotton Fire at Chester.
Chester, November 6.?Fire on the
public weigher's platform at the
^ Southern depot this afternoon partially
burned 200 bales of cotton.
The damage is about $2,500, which
is fully offset by insurance. A truck
hand is said to have run over a match
I with his truck thus starting the fire,
which would have been a very serious
fire, indeed, but for the prompt arrival
and timely work of the city fire
department.
r
SOLID SOUTH BROKEN.
Dispenser of Federal Patronage in
This State Discusses Election.
Wahsington, Nov. 6.?Among
those who are giving out statements
as to the meaning of things is Hon.
John G. Capers of South Carolina. He
sees large and luminous rainbows beneath
the clouds of Democratic majorities
in the resolidified South. Says
he today:
"The large increase in the Republi- J
can vote in the South, especially in j
North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia,!
and the percentage of white Republican
voters in South Carolina means
the death knell of the solid South.
"It used to be that social ostracism
in a way was meted out to any one in
the South who was known to be a
Republican, but, happily, that spirit
is dying out rapidly and now
our people see the folly of
such narrowness. This is shown
by the votes cast in the South
ern States on Tuesday. Judge Taft |
received more native white votes than
were ever cast for a Republican can- J
didate for the presidency. This was
due in a measure to the more liberal
and tolerant spirit now prevailing.
"The principal asset of the Democracy
of the South has been the negro
vote. The politicians have known for
years that when the young people of
our section realize that negro domination
in local affairs did not and
would not follow the election of a Republican
candidate for president, the
doom of the solid south was sealed.
And Tuesday's election has sealed the
doom. The South is rich in agriculture,
minerals, and manufactures, and
there is a strong protective tariff sentiment.
"This issue will figure prominently
in the congressional campaign two
years hence, and nowhere wPl it make
itself felt more pronouncedly than in
the South. This will be shown in the
change in congressional delegations.
The time has arrived when the South
will once again occupy the field she
did before the Civil war, that is, there
will be a division of political sentiment.
The Democratic politicians
will no longer be able to check the
healthy political growth by the cry of
negro domination."
SHOT PLAYMATE IN ABDOMEN. 1
Young Son of Dr. John Lunney, of
Darlington, Fatally Wounded.
Darlington, November 6.?Frank
Lunney, the ten-year-old son of Dr.
John Lunney, was shot in the abdomen
with a load from a shotgun in
the hands of Bradus Long at the Long
home on Broad street this afternoon,
the effects of which will probably be
fatal to young Lunney.
From the statements made it appears
that Long, Lunney and other
boys of about the same age were playing
together at the Long home. Lunney
and others being on the outside
of the house and Long on the inside,
and that Lunney, or one of his playmates,
pointed a cap pistol at Long,
who reached for a gun near him, and
fired out of the window, striking
young Lunney in the stomach. It is
not certain whether he fired at Lun
ney or at one or tne otners, ana luuney
coming in tlie way received the
load.
The physicians say that the wounds
are necessarily fatal, and-that the
wounded boy can hardly live through
the night.
SEVEN PERSONS CREMATED.
Man Starts Fire with Coal Oil and
Disaster Follows.
Swan Lake, Manitoba, November
6.?The home of E. K. Carey, a farmer
living a few miles south of here,
was destroyed by fire to-day, and Mrs.
Carey, five children and a Miss Gillespie,
a young school teacher who
was staying overnight with the family,
perished in the flames. Mr. Carey
was so badly injured that he cannot
recover. The fire was caused by Carey
lighting the kitchen stove with
coal oil. The other occupants of the
house, who were asleep, were suffocated
in their beds.
Ray Files Return.
Norfolk, Va., November 5.?G.
William Ray, a prominent young man
from South Carolina, who was recently
made defendant in divorce procedings
by his youthful wife, now living
in the city, to-day filed his aning
in this city to-day filed his an
swer to the allegations orougnt
against him.
The divorce action is the sequel to
a romantic elopement in Greenville.
Ray denies "with all force of human
language ahy intimation or allegation
that he married the complainant
by force or against her will,"
but, on the contrary, alleges that on
February 13, 1907, after a period of
most devoted courtship, in which the
fondest words of tender affection had
been both written and spoken and
pursuant to previously arranged
plans, met the complainant and was
married by the Rev. P. S. Butler.
Young Ray further says that after
the marriage ceremony was performed,
hq took his wife to the home of
his cousin, J. E. Ebrod, where they
remained for one week, in which time
he brought his wife back to the home
of her mother in Greenville, where
they remained two days and then
went back to the home of W. Z. Davis
in Greenville.
Young Ray says he is fully able to
support his wife and that he did support
her before she was taken away
from him, that he still has both a
strong and tender devotion for his
wife, who, he believes, loved him devotedly
at the time of their marriage
and still loves him, and, if removed
from the influence of her mother,
would again freely join him in the
happy union of conjugal love and contentment.
Young Kay files his answer as a
cross bill and asks the court for the
return of his wife.

TRIES TO SHOOT EMPLOYEE.
Manager of Midway Show Takes Law
Into His Own Hand.
Augusta, November 7.?A mild
sensation was created on the midway
grounds yesterday when R. A. Rog- i
ers, manager of an attraction featuring
a high school horse, rushed widly
out of the front terrace of his tent i
firing a revolver at a negro, who fled
down the "pike" at top speed, calling
desperately for help. i
Police officers rushed in and the
negro was arrested. He proved to
be Brit Artis, an attache, accused 1
by Rogers of having struck the latter's
wife on her head with a water
bucket. '
Rogers was furiously angry, and
but for the prompt interference of
the Dolice Artis would probably have
suffered dire consequences. Failing
in his attempts to wing the fleeing
black with a revolver that contained
only blank cartridges, which fact he
forgot in his haste, Rogers grabbed
a pitchfork and swore he'd transfix 1
the negro. ,
At police headquarters Rogers and
his wife were released, but subpoeaned
to appear in the Recorder's Court
as witness against Artis,. who was
released under, bond of $250.
