No definite period is mentioned in the warrant, however.

It was through the discov- Wa ery, according to Mr. Cooner, that a anc v customer who apparently owed him wa' about $1,000 really owed him less cod than $100, that Mr. Cooner's suspi- Cn cions were aroused. . 1 Member of Fairfield Family. reu Mr. Brice is a member of an old bui and distinguished Fairfield family, the He has lived in Columbia for years hac and has the affection and high es- Th< teem of very many people.

Kleckley, of Lexirgton, hoots Himself Through the Heart. Lexington, Oct. 20.?Geo. V. eckley, a farmer residing about e miles north of Lexington, lies ad at his home as the result of a nshot wound fired either by his n hand with suicidal intent or by 2 accidental discharge of the wean. The tragedy occurred this >rning between 7 and 8 o'clock, al>st within the shadow of his three lighter.-,, who were picking peats under a shed about ten steps ay. Immediately after the firing of the n his daughters looked up just in le to see their father fall. When ?y reached his side he was lying on i back, the weapon, a single-barrel sfech-Ioader, standing against the ice with smoke protruding from ? barrel. The entire load took ef:t just below the left nipple, penetting the heart, and death must ve been instantaneous. So close was 1 i weapon to the body that the shirt ich he wore became ignited from , j powder and the skin around the und was terribly burned before | ; flames could be extinguished. A.s to whether Mr. Kleckley ended , i own life there is a difference of ; inion; the circumstances surround; the scene might indicate either. 1 p dead man could have easily dis irged the gun while going through i fence, or he could have placed ( i hammer of the weapon against 1 i fence and caused its discharge. . Coroner D. B. Clarke was sum- < >ned, and together with Dr. Frank ' Roberts, went to the scene, but er hearing the statement of mem- . *s of the family, the coroner was < isfied that there had been no foul ( ,y and that an inquest was useless. ' The deceased had been in bad j ilth for several days, according to I i tements accredited to members 1 the family, but it is not thought ( it this preyed upon his mind the extent of causing him to 1 ;e his own life. ' At the home of the deceased this < rning it was said that Mr. KJeck- ] had taken his gun from the ise, presumably to shoot a rab- ! , his dog having been chasing one . 'ew minutes before the shot was t id. 1 i White Man Jailed. j Aiken, Oct. 20,?John Ware, a 1 ll-known white man of Warren- ' e, has been placed in the Aiken | I, on the charge of arson, the ofirs sharging him with burning of 1 i company's store at -Warrenville ne months ago. The arrest of 1 re has created quite a sensation, 1 the outcome of the case will be tched with interest. Ware was amitted to jail by Magistrate E. J. < tig. j The store which is run by the War- 1 i Manufacturing company, was 1 ned at night' some time ago, and J indications were that the store ? 1 been burned by an incendiary. ( ? officers have been dilligently ( rking on the case since, but noth- [ definite could be placed against J r of those suspected. Wednesday s ire was charged with the crime. ( is said that he some time previous ' the burning had a dispute at the , re about an account in which he 1 said to have alleged that $1.50 too < ch was charged against him. He ^ narried and is about 30 years old. the time of the burning he was ? employe of the Warrenville mill. vA Pointed Comment.
