ZACH McGHEE'S BOOK.
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.

! 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

Jacksonville, Fla., November 28.?

GEORGE, PASTOR SUED BY LADY.
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

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.

MART GARY'S DESK SOLD.
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

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."
