Fairfax Fancies. ^ Fairfax, December 28.?We were not very much surprised Xmas week when Mr. Martin Lightsev arrived from Johnston with his lovely bride, who was Miss Etta Copeland. The latter had been teaching at Johnston, and as soon as her school closed for the Xmas holidays they were married by her former pastor, Rev. P. E. Munroe. Both of these young people are claimed as Fairfaxans, as the bride taught here for several . years, and the groom is the popular $ book-keeper of the F. M. Young Co. They are boarding now with Mrs. Mary Youmans, but in a few weeks expect to keep house in their own snug cottage. We wish for them un clouded skies, with all the joy that; !T can come to mortals here below as] they journey through a life full pf i vicissitudes. Mr. Geo. D.

G While he is at the penitentiary, Mr. Pinson is not a prisoner, for the Q necessary papers committing him there have not been prepared. It is s expected that ??Ir. E. P.

Walterboro, December 27.?A fatal shooting scrape occurred Saturday night, near Stokes, a station six j miles above Walterboro, in which Edward Evans was shot to death by Willie Zeigler. A party was given at Paul Herndon's, to which several of the young people of the neighborhood were invited. Barney Evans was the banjo player, and was so intoxicated, it is said, that he fell on the floor. He was picked up by several of the boys and taken out on the piazza. His uncle, Edward Evans, went out to intercede for Barney, as i he wished him to play the banjo some more. The following is an account of the shooting as told Dr. Riddick Ackerman, physician, who attended the wounded man as a dying statement: "Cleveland Hiers and Willie Zeigler were taking Barney Evans out of the room, and I went out to get them to turn him loose. When I got out on the piazza I asked them to turn Barney loose, so that he could come back and play the banjo. Zeigler turned Evans loose and shot me. I then drew my razor to defend myself, and Zeigler shot me again. I did not know what happened after that." The wounded man lived about two hours after he was shot. He was about 50 years of age. Zeigler is a young man, and is a guard on the county chain gang. He has not yet been apprehended, but the sheriff has assurances that he will surrender tonight. The inquest will be concluded to-morrow. Bad Business. America is, above everything else, a business nation.

We are proud of the reputation we have achieved.

We have a commercial output of which we talk much; we rejoice in our unexplored resources. We, as a nation, have developed from the land enormous wealth; we are the richest nation in the world.

We have gone far in the path of commercial progress; we can well afford to take time to catch up in another. A badly balanced business is a bad business, and when dollars and cents weigh more than human life, there is something wrong with the balance. ' Not until the health of her people are of equal concern with the interests of industry and commerce can America deserve a reputation as a business nation. The Bishop's Choice. A celebrated Anglican divine the j late Bishop of Rochester, who had! been ailing for some time, decided to' consult Sir Frederick Treves, the j noted surgeon. After a careful ex-j aminaiion Sir Frederick pronounced: his verdict, and added: "Your lordship must go to Algiers or some winter resort on the Rivera." "Impossible," replied the Bishop, "I have too much work to get 1 through." "Well," said the doctor, "you must make your choice. It is either Algiers or Heaven." "Dear me!" exclaimed the Bishop, ( with a sigh. "Then I suppose it must be Algiers." , : i / - COCAINE CRAZED "COON.": < ASSAULTED TWO POLICEMEN AND WAS SHOT TWICE.

One bullet entered the negro's shoulder, inflicting a severe wound, and two others shattered the officer's thumb and middle fingers. Jones broke loose and ran to a negro's house a mile away, where he was found stretched out on the floor, his wound bleeding profusely, half an hour later. Taken in towby Lieut. Nolen, he made no resistance until near the police station, when without warning he struck the officer in the face. Lieut. Nolen fired on him the bullet taking effect in the thigh, after which he became submissive and was carried on to the police station without further resistance. Jones to-day is suffering from two painful wounds, in the shoulder and thigh, but it is not believed that they will prove fatal. The ball causing the former was located with an X-ray and removed this morning. The middle finger of Patrolman Waters was amputated last night. Which is First? Men or Money? The man who at this juncture of materialism run riot dares to raise his voice for the cultivation of the qualitites and faculties that make for the enjoyment and enrichment of sentiment, thought and imagination, is called a crank, a reactionary, a "moss back." As a distinguished United States senator said during the late tariff debate. "The two dominating questions of the day are, 'What shall \ve eat and wherewithal shall we be clothed?' " God and nature, the whole inner story of human growth, stamp, man as preeminently an intellectual, spiritual being whom truest richest life is conditional upon the exercise of soul faculties and contact with his fellows in an atmosphere rich in mind, heart, and soul life. sppm dps ?>1 tJLiCI il ai Ills ami uiviuvuu u ? tined to pervert him into an industrial being, a piece of machinery whose chief standard of value is his material productivity. "Seek ye first the kind love of God," says our Saviour, "and all these things will be added unto you." "Seek ye first the mastery and accumulation of the material, and all these higher thiug3 are yours," retorts the spirit of the modern life. "Give the growing boy and girl the key to the best that has been thought and said and done in the world, and the power of self-expression by mastery of the 'three R's,' by introduction to the master minds and hearts of the race, by the training of the mind, the stimulation of the imagination, the storing of the 1 memory, the enrichment of the feel- 1 ings," dictates the wisdom of the generations.

Jackson, Miss., December 27.?The appointment of Col. James Gordon, 3f Okolona, as United States Senator from Mississippi, to succeed the late Senator A. J. McLaurin, was announced by Governor Noel to-day. The appointment is only until the Legislature can elect a Senator for * a j s J- ?xxi- ; cne unexpired term ana xs uiaue wnu the understanding that Senator Gor- , don will not be a candidate for this term. The appointment was a surprise in political circles, as it was generally believed that the Governor would leave the office vacant until the Legislature takes up the question on January 11. While Senator Gordon' may not serve more than two or three weeks, there is a strong probability of a legislative deadlock, owing to the large number of probable candidates. It is, therefore, not improbable that Mr. Gordon < might serve a year or more. He is 76 years Did, a native of Mississippi and served with distinction in the Confederate army. He has not been prominent in public life during the past twenty years. Governor Noel announced that one of his DrinciDal motives in appoint ing Col. Gordon was a compliment to the soldiers of the Confederacy. Fatal Shooting Affray. Lancaster, Dec. 26.?Jesse C. Sowell was shot and killed here yesterday afternoon by A. C. Carnes. The shooting occurred at Heath company's stables. Sowell was shot in the left side between the fifth and sixth ribs just below the heart and died within half an hour of internal hemorrhage. Carnes was arrested just after the shooting and lodged in jail. Particulars of the tragedy are hard to obtain. Those who are supposed to know anything about it being reluctant to talk. One report is that the trouble began in a friendly tussle, terminating into a tragedy. Carnes, it is understood, claims that Sowell was choking him when he fired the fatal shot A search of So well's person by Sheriff Hunter revealed the presence of no weapon. whn was a man of remark ably fine physique, was 43 years old and leaves a family. He1 was en- , f gaged in business in Columbia a few ? years ago. Carnes is a young man and unmarried. He and Sowell are said to have been good friends. Coroner King held an inquest last evening over Sowell's body Four , witnesses were examined: Dr. R.'C. Brown, who attended the wounded man, J. C. Elliott,- manager of the Heath-Elliott company's stables where the killing occurred, Chas. \ King, a policeman, and Marsh Aldrich, a colored stable boy. The verdict of the jury was that "J. C. Sowell came to his death by a ? gunshot wounds in the hands of A. C. Carnes." The burial of Mr. Sowell took place this afternoon at 4 o'clock in West Side cemetery. A Silver Rule. You all know the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would wish for them to do unto you." Here is a rule which is almost a part of the Golden Rule, but which we will put by itself, and because of its value, call it the "Silver Rule." "Think and say all you can of the good qualities of others; forget and keep quiet concerning their bad qualities." You cannot conceive how much such a course will brighten your own happiness, and raise you in the esteem of the community in which you live. Did you ever think any more of a boy or girl because he or she found fault with others? Never call your schoolmates cross or ugly. If they are such it does not make them any better to talk or think about it while it makes you love to dwell upon the faults of others and you become like the foul bird that prefers carrion for food. Rather tell all the good you can, and try to think of some good quality. ? How He Did It. Mrs. Russell Sage taught school in her youth in Philadelphia, and a Philadelphia woman, who was once her pupil, said the other day: "She had a way of hammering home an idea with an apt anecdote rhat wp e-irls enioved hugely. "One day, in impressing on us the importance of perseverance, she said that she knew of a little boy who was a remarkably fine skater. "She watched the youngster one winter afternoon do the front and back roll, the grapevine, the glide, and other feats, and finally, overcome with enthusism, she* patted him on the back and said: " 'How on earth, at your age, did you learn to skate so magnificently?' " 'By getting up every time I fell ' flown,' was the boy's simple answer."
