Allendale, June 5.?"Bud" Jen> kins, a "drifting" negro from Colleton county, was in Mr. P. J. Zeigler's employment for the past six or eight months, and last Wednesday night "Bud" and Sanders Young, another "drifter" from Clarendon county, but very well thought of by Mr. Zeigler, and who has been in his employment about five years, had a wordy duel, Sanders requesting v "Bud" to wait until he could step to his house and get something with which to put the finishing touches to the argument. "Bud" became so "angrified" that he "withdrewed," but Sandy heard of his'n. Thurs day morning he, Sandy, was working in his garden when some one "entertained" him with a load of No. 8 shot, which caused him i to cross the Congo about one p. m. thereafter. Capt. "Jack" Morris and Fanning, the captain of the Barnwell county chaingang, were 'phoned for. * They boarded the train at Whaley with "Ketch" and "Hold Fast," two bloodhounds. They unloaded here at Allendale, went out to Smyrna, Mr. Zeigler's place, and took the trail; easy running from there to v Barton, but "Bud" had his shootin' iron along, so the boys kept the dogs back, and there was some fun of sjiooting until "Bud's" head was glanced, after which he flung his gun aside and took to the timber in earnest. That was all the boys wanted. "Bud" slept in Barnwell county's boarding house last night. Sandy will be interred to-day. > Incidentally, let us reason together. Bamberg had a legal hanging some time ago. What good did that do? Who was taught a lesson? Who will profit by it? Two of the first four fought in the field?one was killed?if hanging is right that was the time to have taught us the lesson, but no, a brand was put upon him and he was sent out. Hanging is awful. It is among the very last customs of ' barbarism that we follow. Why not have let Willie Carter live? Put him in prison for the balance of his life. Then he would have produced something and would have been a factor in the sum total of the assets of the country's wealth; a tooth for a tooth, etc., is all right when circumstances are equivalent to trading teeth, but we boast of the most enlightened age > in the world's history. Let us do away with capital punishment. Let ? us break away from the foolishness of the past. "Bud," in all probability, will be hung in Barnwell county's jail?;a positive loss for all > time. What good will it do, pray? Of course these are only some of the many reasons that could be given * by MR. BROWNLOW. Little Lad Killed.

The little boy climbed into the wagon, but, by a sudden start of the mules, lost his balance, fell out of the wagon and the wheels rolled over his thigh. Mrs. Fogle did not think her son was hurt much, as he soon began to play with the other children, apparently forgetting his fall.

Go van, June 7.?The busy world rolls on, though some of the bravest, and noble are cut down, and enter into the "mysterious realm," there to join the "innumerable caravan," from whence none ever returns more. "But time rolls on"?this must be?but with this commercial activity we are reminded that there are hearts ever sorely depressed, heavy laden and grievous for some departed loved one; for who knows whose heart is not withered and dispirited; but by the guiding star of hope their bark glides onward, abreast the rugged sea of life, to what end we perceive not! Amidst the great numbers that, die every day, we should feel a keen realization that there are just greater numbers of sorrowing ones, but j 'neath this great veil of tears we have the consolation that there is an unfailing hand oevr which kingdom the "scepter" is swayed, and at whose command the "earth and sea shall give up theirr dead" and thereby make whole again the fetters torn by grief and disappointment. Oh! such expectancy and joy fondly cherished and irrepressible. "Tidings!" We hear the telegraph busy transmitting electric impulses?intelligible to some?breaking the news on lightning's wings?messages?they go, they come. Just the other day came the news of the murder of John Z. Grimes in the citv of Birmingham, Ala., a citi zen once of this community; shot by two white high-waymen with intent to rob. Their purpose accomplished they made their escape into the woods from the electric car, his body being found riddled and divested of his coat and purse containing $40. Such a horrible crime! The car must have been vacated as the pap^r states that the incoming train made the discovery first. The wretchedness of the crime is that John did not have time to array himself in any manner for protection, but had to meet his fate quickly. Ghastly, ignominious crime, how deplorable! Again, while we shudder, the news comes of another awful homicide at Denmark. Mr. Jake Nix was killed 1 ? ? An Vin nln nf otinn uy ix ucgru uui uu uio piauvavivu, about two miles from Denmark. A posse of about 75 men pursued the negro near Barnwell, losing his trail within about two miles of the town. Had the dogs arrived sooner there would hardly be any doubt that he would have been easily caught. Apparently the negro was making his way to Barnwell. A diligent search was made for him in Barnwell, but to no avail. It is true that the majority of negroes will help to screen one of their race from punishment, and doubtless it is because of the deep seated prejudice for the white man, and I can't see why there should be such discordance between the negro and the white man. It is significant but true. I know of an instance of this character. An old negro, one of the best slaverytime type, was over-sympathetic with one of his race in a wrong act performed by the latter. 'Tis strange but true! Well, maybe this discordance will be eliminated at the expiration of a thousand years, or perhaps half that length of time and how?you would ask, by amalgamation r wen, 1 hope not, but rather a continuance of the inconsistency, but some of those "monster" Yankees would advocate that for us as a solution. In reality there is said to be a "society" in New York city purposely organized to propagate and nourish such a "plan," and that there are said to be 480 members of that society up to last report (authority can be produced.) These members, you understand, have wives or husbands from the opposite race. Therefore don't suppose they have any race friction, but all in harmony. The distinguished Prof. Elliot, of Harvard University, says since his visits to the Southland that he does not advocate inter-marriage for the two races, but says that race problems have heretofore always been settled by inter-marriage. I wonder really if he advocated that solution for the whites and blacks at one time? Surely he is getting mighty oia to just come to a conclusion in this matter. In the distance I hear much harmony. The warbler (mocking bird) singing perhaps carols of lonesome love to give cheer perhaps while his I mate keeps silent watch over her promising young. Strange through all midnight it sings persistently. Optimistic perhaps, and they just sing to keep the less hopeful animals in cheer, while the nightfall is so "dark and dreary." Again we have a report that some hell fire doctrine is being given. I expect it will take something worse than a horror of eternal punishment in the "flames" to get some devout sinners to reform. But now let us get a little bit of doctrine from one who is capable of s'peaking with authority, and I mean by authority, a witness-knowing-one, who studies the scriptures fervently and applies it judiciously. The hell fire doctrine that was preached through ignorance of the scriptures has become a back number. Christian theology does not teach any such heathenish doctrine now at this enlightened age of the world. Jesus told his disciples that when he was lifted up from the earth He would draw all men unto him. Christ was so well acquainted with the human heart that he planned to draw and not to drive men into the kingdom. "Perfect love casteth out fear." The Bible teaches that the wicked !

Scholars tell us that the word "hell" is translated from the word hades, which means the grave, and then there are figurative expressions such as "the worm that dieth not and the fire that is not quenched," which was a figure taken from the pits outside of walled cities where this fire was kept up at all times for cremating dead animals hauled out of -cities. Some that the fire didn't reach were eaten up by worms. The place for the burning of these animals was a permanent thing, but the destruction of any one animal was 01 short duration. I have read my Bible carefully and I have not come upon a passage that if rightly interpreted would convey to my mind the idea that a God's creation would remain in conscious suffering forever, and such construction of Scripture and doctrine is a gross misrepresen Itation of our kind, loving tieavemy Father. What would your man who preached such doctrine do with such passages of Scripture as "The soul that sinneth it shall die." The wicked shall be "destroyed." What does the words die and destroy mean? Eternal banishment from the presence of God explains "eternal punishment." On the other hand inherit eternal life and being born into the kingdom conveys the thought that the opposite is no life. I say what are you going to do with such inconsistencies as the above? We can only take the Scriptures and reason and fathom as far as good judgment will dictate. We are sentiment beings, endowed with a degree of intelligence by which we have the power of understanding a great many things with clearness, and if we didn't have the reasoning faculty I would say "God pity us." One man said the other day that he believed everything in the Bible in toto. Well, this man really don't believe anything much, because such "faith" would he an impossibility. Mr. Editor, your paper contained last week a beautiful tribute of respect to the memory of the aged lady whose death was caused by a run away the day of the memorial at Rivers' Bridge. The writer signed the letter "C." W. A. HAY, JR. Mr. Ellerbe Undergoes Operation. Washington, June 7.?Representative Ellerbe, who broke his leg last Friday night by a fall in the lobby of the Metropolitan hotel, underwent a severe operation to-day. By a minute examination with the X-ray it was found that the fracture was considerably complicated. The large bone (tibia) of the shin was broken with great unevenness and numeri r?ua nipr>PR nf shattered bone. These could not be got into place by an ordinary setting. The surgeon had to saw off the shattered ends, so as to fit them evenly together. He stood the operation well and is doing nicely, though suffering from the severe effects of the ether. It is believed that while he will be confined to his bed for several weeks, the fracture will readily heal and there will be no serious or permanent injury. It is learned to-day that he was sitting in a chair when arising suddenly with his legs crossed, his right foot slipped on the smooth tiled floor and too much weight was thrown upon his right leg at an angle. He fell to the floor and attempted to rise, but found he could not, till friends lifted him up to find that his leg was broken. He experienced no pain at first and could not believe that his leg was really broken.

KILLED IX AUGUSTA. J J. K. Sandifer, of Bamberg, Meets Death in Factory. ? Mr. J. K. Sandifer was caught in the belt of a fly wheel in the Augusta factory about 10 o'clock Wednesday S morning and instantly killed by being thrown against a brick wall. Sandifer has been in Augusta a very short time. He came here from Bamberg, S. C., and secured a position in the weave room, stating that f; he wanted to learn the business and work himself up to a high position, j He was 2 b years old. Mr. Sandifer was killed in the wheel room, adjoining the weave n XUUill. XU^IC WCIC UU WilUCDDCa w o the accident. The young man left v his work for some unknown reason e and was. seen to go into the wheel 1< room. #The next heard of him was a when following a noise in the room several operatives looked in and saw him lying on the floor. There is a railing on each sfde of the wheel and the officials of the factory say that they cannot understand how he got to the wheel. He ? must have either stepped on the ^ railing and his foot caught, or pass- h ed very close and allowed his clothes d to be caught in the belting. d Sandifer was caught between the belt and the wheel, and thrown against the brick wall of the room, * fifteen feet away. His left leg was e broken just above the ankle, his right thigh was broken in several places, and his left arm broken. His i ribs on the left side were broken, and his head crushed. His eye and cheek bone were driven into his 1 face, and his jawbone was knocked out of place. Sandifer's parents it is understood are dead. He has no relatives in c Augusta. He has several sisters in b Bamberg, where the body will be I shipped after the inquest. The in- b quest will be held at W. I.

By whatever name she was called: Lalla, Miss t Lalla, Cousin Lalla, Sister Lalla, Aunt Lalla, there was always a v ready response, a word of comfort, * a word of cheer that never failed to a reach the heart of the disconsolate sufferer j Lalla O'Neal was born and raised a near the place that she met her a death. She was seventy-three years old, and in the very best of health? a woman of great Christian forti- ^ tude, with an unusually bright mind s and always ready to meet and dis- j charge every-duty of life. True, her ^ life was a hard one, having lost two husbands?one of them killed in bat- jj tie, and an only son and daughter, Sl both having preceded her to the g grave. She was left alone with no 3 immediate family except one sister and brother, who yet survive her. In the face of all these bereavements she met life in all of its vicissitudes bravelv. not. however, at times with- ^ out showing signs of despondency v and grief. For some days before she left her home in Bamberg she had been preparing for her trip to tile Rivers' e Bridge Memorial Association, in an- n ticipation of the pleasure of meeting n many of her old friends and acquaintances. ? On the morning of the fatal day E she was met at the town of Olar by a her grand daughter, Lalla Rush, a h girl yet in her teens. As soon as convenient they left Olar for the memorial. Before reaching the grounds p the horse took fright at the dashing n by of a pair of horses and running off but a few yards, threw the ladies Sl out, demolishing the buggy, and ? thus ending the life of a lovely and ? most noble woman. A death most ? painful, heartrending, and distressing?one that appeals, not only h to the strong arm of the law, but to humanity, Christianity, morality, j? and civilization, and one that should 1 admonish the friends of the Rivers' a Bridge Memorial Association to ad- 11 here strictly to the solemnities ? of the memorial occasion, admit- * ting no one hereafter except ladies ? and the officers of the Association, with such committees as the ladies , may wish to assist them in the dis- ' charge of their respective duties.
