ASSASSINATION IN HORRY.
John Watson, Prominent Young
Man, Slain by Negro.
Conway, June 2.?Mr. John Watson,
a prominent young man of the
Greensea section of the county,
about 20 miles from Conway, was today
waylaid and shot by Melvin Watson,
a notorious negro. Mr. Watson
died a few hours after being shot.
Sheriff Sessions learned of the affair
by telegram and went immediately
^ - ? -Mti
to the scene or tne Kuuug. i\ews
reached here since the sheriff left
> that more than 200 people with
bloodhounds are in search of the negro,
who fled as soon as he fired the
fatal shot. What has been learned
here of the affair came by telephone
from Loris, a railroad station about
; six miles from Greensea, and hence
^ f full particulars have not yet been
learned.
From the best information obtain^
able it appears that Mr. Watson
early this morning had started to
Tabor, N. C., in a wagon. When only
a short distance from Greensea he
was fired upon by the negro, who
was crouched in a fence jam. Mr.
Watson was superintendent of the
large plantation of Hon. J. P. Derham,.
and it is stated that a young
son of Mr. Derham was in the wagon
when the sfcootin* occurred. He was
not hurt.
Greensea is a populous section and
a large posse gathered in a veryshort
time and went in pursuit of the
negro who, it is said, is a very dangerous
character. Mr. Watson was
a young man of wide family connection
and very popular throughout
v the country, and great indignation is
felt over the crime.
Sayings of Mrs. Solomon.
Verily, verily, my daughter, when
a man proposeth unto a maiden, why
doth she always say, "This is so sudden!"
Yea. whv is she so "surprised?"
, ? ?
For by the time he hath discover|
ed that she is "different" from other
maidens, hath she not already made
up her mind whether to be married
in white satin of a going-a-way
gown?
And by the time he hath begun to
> think of a flat for two, hath she not
already picked out the flat and decided
upon the furnishings?
Yet, lo! when, after many weary
moons, the proposal cometh, her
ears are not prepared for what she
heareth and she is astounded!
For, mark by what slow degrees?
even "by inches"?she landeth him.
Behold, how she leadeth him into
, cozy corners and beside the still waters
of the conservatory fountain,
where all is propitious. lei ne
speaketh not.
She Btandeth with him upon the
mountain top and sitteth beside him
upon the lonely beach; and she saith
in her heart, "now?or never?he
will speak up."
Yet he remaineth silent.
She lureth him into the green
> fields at twilight. She becometh affrighted
at strange cows and things
in the dark. She rusheth unto him
for protection and falleth in his
arms. Yet his tongue cleaveth unto
the roof of his mouth.
She maketh him at home in the
dining room and feedeth him from
the chafing dish. She weareth a dotted
Swiss apron and playeth the
* "domestic."
She introduceth him unto her sister's
children and sighest significantly.
But he will not be moved!
Then, in her despair, she giveth it
up, saying unto herself, "Go to!
There is nothing doing. Lo! I have
wasted my time. Yea, I have eaten
of the fruit of the lemon tree!"
And in her wrath she picketh a
quarrel with him and leaveth him in
> a huff.
Yet on the following day, when
she saileth forth in a mackintosh
and rubbers, he meeteth her upon
the muddy street corner. And tnen,
lo! beneath a dripping umbrella and
between two trolley cars, with the
eyes of the multitude upon them, he
exclaimeth:
"Say, I can't stand this thing any
longer. When wilt thou marry me?"
* Yet, let her gather the fruit of her
labors and let her works praise her;
for peradventure, in all the days of
her life she shall get nothing nearer
to a real proposal! Selah.
ANXIOUS TO MARRY.
Chamber of Commerce Flooded with
Applications for Husbands.
Spokane, Wash., June 2.?When
> Levi Grant Monroe, secretary of the
Spokane chamber of commerce, announced
a few days ago that there
are 2,000 well-to-do bachelors, who
are candidates for hymeneal bliss in
the Island Empire, in responding to
an inquiry from the Halstead Street
Institutional church, of Chicago, and
let down the bars to all eligible
young women, he figured without his
-k host.
"There are not enough candidates
m in the entire Northwest to accommodate
those seeking husbands," he
said. "If there are, I shall be glad
* to hear from them at once."
His desk is stacked high with letters
from working girls and widows,
spinsters and others, of various
^ ages, who say they "never had a
chance." Thirty-six States and
three Provinces in eastern Canada
have been heard from to date, the
xartuesi east uemg a iuwu uu iub
coast of Maine.
There are also scores of letters
from Boston, Springfield, Augusta,
Portland, Worcester, Burlington,
Manchester and other cities in New
England, but the majority are from
* Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
New York and Missouri, with a
sprinkling from Iowa, Nebraska,
Louisiana, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.
Five came from Washington, D.
C., and there are some from Montana,
the Dakotas, Washington and
Oregon.
Old Doctor: "I was successful in
my first case."
Young Doctor: "Indeed?"
Old Doctor: "Yep. The executors
of his estate paid my bill without a

BLOODY BATTLE IS PRISON.
j Eight Convicts and Two Wardens!
Killed in Fight.
Tiflis, June 5.?A desperate battle
was fought in the prison here to-day
which ended in eight prisoners and
two wardens being killed, and four
wardens and two soldiers being mortally
wounded. Five convicts who
were condemned to death, while being
transferred to the death cells,
overpowered the wardens, wounding
and disabling them. They then ran
through the corridor, shooting down
every one they encountered. They
were finally brought to bay by a detachment
of wardens, but refused to
surrender, fighting until they were
[crushed by repeated volleys.
' During the fighting three other
; prisoners escaped from their cells
and rushed through the corridors in
another direction. They were run
down by soldiers, and as they were
putting up a stubborn resistance,
they were shot to death.
BOUND OVER TO COURT.
Young Campobello Man Who Beat an
Old Soldier.
Jones Eubanks, a young white
man from near Campobello, was
bound over to court by Magistrate
Kirby on the charge of beating up
TTT " T 1- J n
W. r. jeu&ius, du dgcu V/Uuicuciqlc
soldier. Wm. Eubanks, the father
of the young man, was also arrested,
but there was not sufficient evidence
to hold him. Young Eubanks
gave bond in the sum of $300. It is
said that Jenkins made a table for
the Eubanks, and was to get his pay
when they sold a certain heifer. The
heifer was sold, and the old soldier
went and asked for his money. An
altercation ensued, and Jones Eubanks
collared the old man and gave
his a thrashing. Wm. Eubanks is
said to have stood by and watch his
son beat up the old man and never
offered to separate the combatants.

Killing Near Fairfax.
Fairfax, June 3.?Charley Taylor,
colored, was shot and killed by Sanders
Young, colored, at Zeigler's
saw mill, five miles from here, early
this morning and ran off, but was
pursued by a posse with bloodhounds
and caught near here late this afternoon.
The dogs belonged to the
county and Supervisor Morris and
Capt. Fanning, of the chaingang,
and Messrs. Alfred Dunbar and John
Spann were the posse. A woman was
the cause of the trouble and the
weapon used was a shotgun.
It is said the killing was unprovoked.
Child Burned to a Crisp.
Dallas, Tex., June 6.?In a fire
which started this morning in the
kitchen of the Knight apartment
house, corner of Elm and Hardwood
streets, Herschel Dannelly, 8year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. D. C.
Dannelly, was burned to a crisp, and
two others were fatally injured and
two seriously hurt.
The injured: Charles Candenburg,
broken back and other injuries,
fatal. D. A. Dannelly, back
probably broken, fatal; Mrs. James
Morgan, lower limb broken and internally
injured; Mrs. E. J. Phillips,
back sprained and internally injured;
F. A. Harliste and Gus Kartfins,

street. Many thrilling rescues were

Mr. Ellerbe Suffers Broken Leg.
Washington, June 6.?Representative
Ellerbe had an unfortunate
accident Friday night. Slipping on
the glazed tiled floor of the lobby of
the Metropolitan hotel, he broke his
leg just below the knee. He was
taken at once to the Providence hospital,
where he is now. To-day he is
reported getting along very well,
though suffering considerably from
the pain. It is not yet certain whether
the small bone (fibia) is broken
or not. An X-ray machine will be
turned upon it to-morrow to ascertain
the exact condition of the fracture.
No serious danger is anticipated.
Mr. Ellerbe wrote his wife,
who is in South Carolina, that it is
not worth while to come up.
SHOCKING CRIME AT NASHVILLE
Boy of Fifteen Kills Boy of Sixteen
Over a Boast.
Nashville, Tenn., June 4.?Shortly
after 8 o'clock to-night, 16-year-old
Edgar Serber was called from his
home in West Nashville, and killed
in the street by 15-year-old Jessie
McPherson. The slayer used a repeating
shotgun and fired twice, literally
blowing off the top of his victim's
head.
^f/>DVtar>onn nrfin ia fVlO cnn nf VI.
der Jos. McPherson, a minister of the
Church of Christ, was arrested shortly
after the tragedy, and is now confined
at the police station. Talking
of the tragedy to-night, he admitted
that he went to Serber's home to kill
him, saying that Serber had talked
about him and "said what he was going
to do" until he was tired of it.
Some weeks ago the boys engaged in
a fight, during which Serber, it 'is
said, used a buggy whip on McPherson.
Serber was sitting on the porch of
his home talking to his aged father,
when McPherson summoned him to
his death.
A professor has discovered some
ancient ruins what is supposed to be
the eleventh commandment. The

commandment is easily translated by
beginning at the end and reading

CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Story that He Disguised Himself as a
Woman Untrue.
Those whose memory can go back
to the closing days 01 the war tor
the union, will recail how tne attempt
was made to render tne expresident
of the Confederacy an object
of ridicule and obloquy on the
nf Viio nantnre Tpffprcnri
uutaoiuu v*. mo ww*.*/ww*? v
Davis was represented as disguised
in a woman's dress when Union soldiers
made him a prisoner. The press
in the North described at great
length the ridiculous appearance the
official head of the late Confederacy
presented when he fell into the
hands of his captors. The illustrated
papers presented to its readers
comical pictures in which Mr. Davis
was depicted as awkwardly disguised
as a woman, seeking to elude his
pursuers.
The impression made at the time
in this way survived. Even to-day
there are many persons who believe
the story about Jefferson Davis's
feminine disguise. Yet it was an invention
pure and simple. How little
truth there was in it is shown in the
plain, unvarnished story told by one
of Mr. Davis's captors, who, on the
forty-fourth anniversary of the capture,
told just what happened.
It was on May 10, 1865, that the
ex-president of the Southern Confederacy
was run to earth near Abbeville,
Ga. The party of Union soldiers
who made him a prisoner
numbered fourteen, of whom only
one survives. Casper Knobel, who
broke the fly fastenings of the tent
from which the South's leader
emerged. Here is Knobel's description
of what occurred:
"George Rinke, the horseshoer of
Company A, and I were the first to
approach the tents. I went to the
nearest tent and had just broken the
wrhnTl All f TTOllroH ft
LlJ laotcuiugo nuvu vuv tt m*uvvk v
tall, thin man, wearing civilian
clothes. I did not know that it was
Jeff Davis. As he walked toward
the team Corporal Mungler, of Company
A, approached him and asked:
"Is that you Jeff Davis?"
"When Davis replied, "It's not
your business to ask me," Mungler
levelled his revolver at Davis's
head. As Mungler did this Mrs.
Davis rushed from the tent, crying
'Don't.' At the same time, the
morning being damp and chilly, she
threw her shawl over her husband's
shoulder.
"There is no truth, by the way,
in the report that Davis tried to
escape in woman's clothes."
This testimony of an eye-witness,
which bears the impress of absolute
truth, should set at rest forever the
story about Jefferson Davis disguising
himself in female attire to escape
arrest. We think it is due to historic
truth that even at this late date
the memory of the chosen leader of
the South should be freed from aspersions
traceable to the embittered
feelings evoked by the passions engendered
during the mighty struggle
for the preservation of the union.
Those passions long since died down
and to-day, thank God, we are again
a united people, held together by the
strongest bonds of loyalty to our
common country.
The changes in sentiment that
have taken place since that May day
forty-four years ago when the telegraph
was flashing all over the land
the announcement that Jefferson
Davis was a prisoner, are shown by
the recent presentations to the battleship
Mississippi of a silver service
with Mr. Davis's portrait engraved
on it. If such a thing had been ever
suggested a generation ago, the
whole North would have flamed out
into indignation. To-day it passes
unnoticed. The meaning of this
radical change in sentiment is well
and correctly interpreted by Mrs.
Margaret Jefferson Davis Hayes, the
daughter of Jefferson Davis, who
commenting: on the silver service of
the battle ship Mississippi, says:
"The honor came from the State of
Mississippi, and I appreciate it the
more on that account. We had no
part in this matter, and I accepted
the tribute to my father's memory
as a splendid evidence of a reunited
North and South."
As symbolizing the full and complete
restoration of fraternal feeling
between all sections of the country,
the silver service presented to the
battle ship Mississippi is unique. It
proclaims that the sentiment that
rendered the lying account of Jefferson
Davis's capture so popular has
been buried bevond the Dossibilitv of
resurrection.?New York Freeman's
Journal.
HOMICIDE IX BARNWELL.
Farmer Kills Another White Man,
Thfcn Gives Himself Up.
Barnwell, June 7.?Mr. Jut Still
shot and instantly killed a Mr. Davis
in the Red Oak Township on last
Saturday.
Davis is said to have been drunk
and was advancing upon Mr. Still
with a gun, when Still fired.
Davis has only been living in that
community for a few months, and
was from Georgia.
Mr. Still immediately came to
Barnwell and gave himself up. Mr.
Still is a prosperous farmer of the
Red Oak Township and has always
been considered a peaceable citizen.
As yet bond has not been asked
for.
BODY OF INFANT FOUND.
Half Decomposed Remains of White
Child Discovered Near Anderson.
Anderson, June 4.?The half decomposed
body of a white female infant
was found in the woods just
outside the northeastern limits of
the city late this afternoon. It was
wrapped in an old checked apron and
flour sack, and appeared to have
been dead for two days or more. It
was hardly more than a few hours
old when placed in the woods. The
sheriff viewed the body this afternoon,
and an inquest will be held tomorrow
morning. It is not known
whether the child was aliye or dead
when left in the woods.
CONDEMNED NEGRO LYNCHED.
Maik Morris Dragged from Cell and
Hanged in Florida's Capital.
Tallahassee, Fla., June 6.?Dangling
from a limb in the county jail
yard, and within sight of the dome
of Florida's capitol, the lileless body
of Maik Morris, colored, greeted the
people of this city this morning. Already
condemned to death for the
murder of William Langston, late
sheriff of this county, this negro on
Friday, June 11, would have paid
the penalty of his crime with his life
at the hands of the law. A mob of
not more than 15 men decreed otherwise,
however, and at 3 o'clock this
morning Morris was dragged from
his cell in the jail and strung to the
limb of a tree within the jail inclosure.
As if to add emphasis to
their lawlessness, the masked band
emptied a round of cartridges into
the lifeless body of the negro and
rode away without the slightest molestation.
Sheriff Houston was in Georgia
and when the lynchers arrived at the
jail they brought the jailer to the
door with the ruse that they had a
prisoner, overpowered him, took his
keys, secured the negro Morris, locked
the jailer in Morris' cell and soon
accomplished their work.
Lately Morris had been acting
strangely, and it is believed that
fear that the negro would attempt to
escape the gallows through feigned
insanity prompted the act of the mob
members who this morning took the
law into their own hands to avenge
the death of Sheriff Langston.
Langston was killed by the negro
Morris in March, last, while the
sheriff was attempting to arrest him
for a crime committed in Georgia.
There was considerable excitement
following the killing of the officer
and for three days posses with blood *
3 ? -? ? ?J ^-Vi ?
nounas scwureu LUC luiycuuuv
woods and swamps in search of Morris,
lynching being recognized as inevitable
in case of capture at that
time. He was later captured in
Georgia and taken to Jacksonville
for safekeeping until the date of his
trial here. Morris pleaded guilty to
the murder charge, received the
death sentence, and Gov. Gilchrist
named an early date for his execution,
since when there has been no
intimation of lynching.
The coroner's inquest to-day failed
to develop any clue to the identity
of the men composing the mob.
