Walterboro, March 3.?One of the nost interesting events of this term >f court was the hearing to be given i. S. Arnett in re the sensational h&rge made against him at the last term of court by severai 01 me sianIpk'holders to the effect that he had forced them to pay him 50 cents a w"-': day for retaining them as officers of the court. To these charges Arnett made return through his attorney, Jas. E. Peurifoy, Esq. After hearing his Affidavit, Judge DeVore dismissed ; the case against him. ' The following remarks were addressed to Arnett by Judge DeVore: "This is a place here where no underhanded tricks should be allowed V.and it is very wrong for you to charge a man to get him a position, and it would have been very wrong for you V to do it if deputy sheriff. It is wrong t to so use your influence. This is a ? form of graft and your love of money is probably the cause of your having gone wrong. This is the way graft =v:; is started, and I warn you against allowing the occurrence again. If you had been deputy sheriff it would have gone hard with you and you would probably have had to serve a term in the penitentiary. I would urge you 8#: and every one to avoid this in the Tuture. TDIS IS a piace wuere cvcir 1thing must go straight. I am inclined to dismiss the case on the testimony you present, and an order will be prepared accordingly." ? Difficulty in Lancaster. Lancaster, March 3.?A difficulty occurred here this afternoon between two young white men, Claude Small, son of Leonard Small, a well known farmer of this vicinity, and J. W. Gregory, of Yorkville, in which the latter fired four shots with a revolver at the former. Small, however, was struck by only one bullet, which lodged in the shoulder. The wound is not considered fatal. Gregory was arrested and lodged in jail. He came here to do some work for the Yorkville Monumeni works and is said to be originallj from Virginia. The shooting, whicl took place in a wagon on Main street in which there was also anothei l/X ' ' young man, Hoyt Hinson, is said t( bave had a trivial origin. The .wine blew off one man's hat and in tryinj to catch it he knocked off the othei fellow's hat. at'-V-" , ass "... y No' OUR LINE OF 1 A SWELL LOV that individuals dish and jf? wearer ja men, wo- as being jg wn.

B Furnishers EVANGELIST WHIPPED. His Assailant Said to be a Religions Fanatic. Springfield, 111., Feb. 27.?Rev.: Wm. Sunday, better known as "Bil-j ly" Sunday, a former baseball player,; who is now an evangelist, was horsewhipped last night at the Sunday Tabernacle, where in the presence.of 8,000 persons, he was conducting the opening meeting of a religious revival meeting. The evangelist was leaning against the pulpit when a powerful man who later said his name was Sherman Potts, sprang forward and struck Sunday several terrific blows with ja buggy whip. Sunday leaped from the platform, and dashed his assailant to the floor in the center aisle. The audience was on the verge of a panic with women weeping and children screaming while Potts and Sunday rolled and tumbled in the aisle. Mr. Fischer, the choir leader, directed the choir and the audience to sing, and in a few moments the entire oiiH'onpo xv-qc nnlmprf few leavine their seats. Several men soon seized Potts and they held him until policemen come and took him to jail. Sunday said he suffered several painful bruises from the buggy whip. The prisoner said that his home was near Lovington, 111. He made the attack, he said, in defense of the virtue of women, which he declared had been criticised by the evangelist. The police say that Potts is a religious fanatic. Xear Death in Big Pond. It was a thrilling experience to Mrs. Ida Soper to face death. "'For years a severe lung trouble gave me intense suffering," she writes, "and several times nearly caused my death. All remedies failed and doctors said I was incurable. Then Dr. King's New Discovery brought quick relief and a cure so permanent that I have not been troubled in twelve years." Mrs. Soper lives in Big . Pond, Pa. It works wonders in coughs and colds, sore lungs, hemorrhages, lagrippe, asthma, croup, whooping cough and all bronchial affections. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free.

I Daniel Bassett Leach, an aged clergyman of Bone Gap, near here, was told recently that he was going to die. He asked that his phonograph be brought to his bedside. Into the machine the venerable pastor talked. Besides an address, he spoke some J I prayers and a benediction. 1 When Mr. Leach had finished he ! I had the records repeated. Then he j tasked that they be used at his fun-j ( eral. His relatives assented, and i i - thus his family, congregation and | I friends will hear his own voice as! they stand beside his gravo.

Let Xow Effective Forbids Soliciting of Orders for Whiskey. A bill of more than ordinary interist that was passed at the recent sesiion is one to make it a misdemeanor o solicit orders for liquor. The bill ;tarted in the State to provide for a fancy license to solicit orders, but it vas changed so as to make it a mislemeanor to solicit orders. The act ts approved reads: "Section 1* That each and every person, whether acting for himself or is agent for any person, firm or corporation, who shall conduct the busi>prr nf liauor drummer, soliciting or eceiving orders for interstate shipnent within any county within this State, except as now authorized" by aw, any spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented, brewed, whether lager or rice beer, or other liquors or beveriges, or any compound or mixture vhich contains alcohol and is used is a beverage, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction &ned in a sum not exceeding $1,000, 3r imprisonment for not exceeding six months, or both fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the ;ourt." It Saved His Leg. "All thought I'd lose my leg," writes J. A. Swenson, Watettown, Wis., "Ten years of eczema, that 15 ioctors could not cure, had at last laid me up. Then Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured it sound and well." Infallible for skin eruptions, eczema, 3alt rheum, boils, fever sores, burns, scalds, cuts and piles. 25c. at Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. Home of Leper Fired Second Time. Augusta, Ga., March 5.?For the coprmH timp rpoentlv the home of Mrs. Mary V. Kirke, the Aiken leper, has been on fire. On each occasion the cause of the fire was a mystery. Mrs! Xirke is still in Aiken, the temporary injunction recently granted against her removal being still in force. On account of the fear of entering the house the firemen did not put out the blaze as quickly as they might. The losses, however, have been small. The Lurid Glow of Doom was seen in the red face, hands and body of the little son of H. M. Adams, of Henrietta, Pa. His awful plight from eczema had, for five yearj, defied all remedies and baffled the best doctors, who said the poisoned blood had affected his lungs and nothing could save him. "But," writes his mother, "seven bottles of Electric Bitters completely cured him." For eruptions, eczema, salt rheum, sores and all blood disorders and rheumatism Electric Bitters is supreme.
