S&, lit.':- Several Characters in "The Dark Corner" Live in Bamberg County. a*' . Many people in Bamberg are antic- | ipating the appearance of Mr. Zach 3V. McGhee's book, "The Dark Corner" v - which is scheduled to appear in about ten days. Mr. McGhee formerly taught in the public schools of Bamberg county and it is said that there jj?.' are several characters in his book which are taken from some types in this part of the State, and indeed, in this very county itself. The author is well known here, and here are - many former school boys grown to manhood who will remember him. It is well known that Mr. McGhee has a distinctive literary ability, and that his long connection with the public schools in the State peculiarly fit him to write intelligently upon the subject of education, either in the form of a novel, or of mere newspaper style. "The Dark Corner" is founded upon the educational perplexities and complexities of (the county school teacher, and' from all reports the sale of Mr. McGhee's work will be something bordering upon the phenomenal. The Grafton Press, New York, where the book is being printed, have been rushing their presses for some timp. it is said, in order to fill the or der. Already, in many parts of the State, there have been numbers of calls for the first book which comes from the presses. The price is one dollar, and Mr. McGhee has put some of the hearty good cheer and gift r- spirit in some of his characters to make of it a good Christmas remembrance. While in this section Mr. McGhee gathered much of the folk lore which will be readily recognized in "The Dark Corner" by people in this town and country. It is said to be a high class work, and judging from the favorable criticism it has received North and South, it is a book which will readily receive attention. Expenses of Election. Practically all' of the bills for the November general election have been filed with Comtroller General Jones, oniy one or iwo cuuime? uemg uuu It is thought that there will be a small remainder after all of the bills are paid, but including the newspaper advertising, the general election cost about $24,000. There was an appropriation of $4,000 for advertising the election notices in the newspapers and the general assemby appropriated $20,400 for the election, but out of this fund comes also expenses of special elec,9 tions held in counties occasionally to fill vacancies. The federal messengers are also paid railroad fare each way and $5 for bringing the results in to the State board of canvassers. This amounted to about $800. There are no messengers for the State returns, these being sent in to the governor and the secretary of State by mail and by express. % 1 HO * rect From St. L the public for their generous their patronage.

Three Negroes Kill Ex-Sheriff Drake With an Axe. I Montgomery Ala., November 25.? R. W. Drake, a prominent planter, was murdered at his home, near Laneville, Hale county, last night. His house was burned. Neighbors seeing the fire got his body out. Greensboro, Ala., November 25.? Sheriff Gewin has captured three negroes, charged with the murder of former Sheriff R. W. Drake, near Laneville, Ala., last night. . One of the negroes conressea ana lmpncaiea i the other two. He says that he held the light while the other two negroes killed Mr. Drake by knocking him in the head with an axe; that they then saturated his clothing and the bed clothing with oil and set fire to them. Steps have been taken to call a special term of Court to try the negroes, because of the feeling, which is running very high. Spartanburg Store Robbed. Spartanburg, November 26.?The clothing store of the Floyd L. Liles company on west Main street was entered by professional burglars here some time Wednesday night and robbed of goods amounting in value to several hundred dollars. They entered a door at the rear of the building' by removing the lock by the use of a brace and bit and lifting from its hinges a second door encountered. To those wh6 entered the store early to-day the stock of clothing and furnishing goods looked as though a cyclone had passed through the building. The police say a wagon would have been necessary to carry away the goods stolen. There appears to be absolutely no clue for the autnonties to wora on. Mr. .unes, manager of the store, is absent, being in New York. * t Five Killed in Train Wreck. Jacksonville, Fla., November 28.?

She Wants $10,000 Because Pastor Called Her "Devil Incarnate." A dispatch from Jonesboro, Ga., says: A ten thousand dollar damagevsuit has been filed in the Superior Court of Clayton county against Rev. J. C. Atkinson, pastor of the Methodist church at Jonesboro, by Mrs. Sadie A. Bean, one of the most prominent social and church workers of the town. The petition alleges, among other sensational charges, that in a discourse which he delivered September 8 last, Rev. Mr. Atkinson referred to Mrs. Bean as "a devil incarnate, a devil from hell." At that time Mrs. Bean was chairman of the missionary society of the church. The minister stated, it is alleged, that she had dissented from the discipline of the church. Somewhat later, the petition goes on to $ver, he read before a large number of the congregation a letter he had written to Mrs. Bean calling upon her to either confess her wrong in dissenting from church discipline, or to stand a church trial or to withdraw. The petition declares further: "The said Atkinson used his position as pastor to inflict undue mortification upon your petitioner." The suit will be tried at the next term of the Clayton county Superior Court. Mrs. Bean is represented by W. L. Watterson, of Jonesboro, and by Dorsey, Brewster, Howell & Heyman, of Atlanta. She is the wife of ? ? ? i m?_ i__ a 4.1 R. U.

Night Riders Attack Soldiers. Memphis, Tenn., November 28.? A dispatch from Union City to the News-Scimitar late to-day confirms repoits of an attack on a detail of militiamen by a band of men, presumably night riders, at the Gleason sawmill, near Samburg, last night. According to the dispatch one of the soldiers was slightly wounded and 50 shots were exchanged between the military and the attacking party. The attack followed the firing on three men by soldiers who discovered the men in the mill yard. The intruders were challenged and refused to halt. Spasmodic firing continued for several hours and was followed at midnight by a fusillade. When the fire was returned by the soldiers the band, which was composed of about 30 men, disappeared. With the arrival of reinforcements from Camp Rankin, a search was made, but none of the band could be located, i The placing of guards at the mill was because of threats that the mill would be burned.

Will be Presented to Associate Justice Gary. Saluda, November 26.?The last chapter in the history of the case of W. M. Mayes vs. B. B. Evans, being a distress proceeding for office rent and begun more than a year ago, was had to-day when the distrained articles, including law books, a KragJorgensen rifle and the old office desk of Gen. M. W. Gary were sold by the sheriff at public auction. This had been in some respects a most interesting suit and the judgment roll, made up of various and sundry orders passed by the circuit court judges, the chief justice and the supreme court, is now a voluminous one. The Krag-Jorgensen rifle, it is said, is . government property and there may be interesting developments in regard- to it yet. E. W. Able, Esq., attorney for Mayes, bid it off at $15. It is hinted that a very prominent official in the military department of this State may be called upon to make some explanation in regard to this gun. Mr. C. J. Ramage of this bar bid in the office desk of Gen. Gary and ? 211 ~ X U 4.^ A Will (XL UUUC silly XL IU ASBUUatc u UOtice Gary with his compliments. This is the desk that Gen. Gary used for years in the law office at Edgefield and the one on which much interesting political history of South Carolina along in the 70's was no doubt written. Three Drowned in Surf. Jacksonville, Fla., November 28.? News reached here to-day from Dania, a small station on the east coast of Florida, of the accidental drowning of Mr. Dyke and his son and daughter, which occurred while they were in surf bathing Friday afternoon. From what could be learned it seems that young Dyke ventured out too far in the surf and called for help; that his sister swam to him and in trying to save him went under the rolling water. The father seeing his children struggling for life, swam to waras mem ana me mree went auwn to death together. Mr. Dyke was prominent in this section of the State. The Canny Scot. To illustrate the canniness of the Scot the following tale is told: A merchant and a farmer were discussing political economy in a railroad carriage After a while the merchant filled his pipe, lit it, and settled back for a comfortable smoke. The farmer took his pipe from his pocket, and, after gazing longingly at its empty bowl, asked his companion for a match. The merchant selected one from a large boxful and handed it over. Said the farmer: "I am afraid I've come away wi'out my baccy pouch." "Well," said the merchant, holding out his hand, "then ye'll no be in need of that match."
