Thursday, August 10,1911. The trade and industrial edition of the Walterboro Press and Standard, containing twenty-four pages of interesting facts about Walterboro and Colleton county, was issued last fej * -week, and it is a creditable showing of the town and county. ||?. It looks hard that a newspaper should have to pay a business license Ip'- of $5.00 a year when we devote so py.. ' much space to booming the town. Tet that is what it cogts The Herald oach year. We wouldn't mind it so much if council would show any dis i position to patronize the newspaper, v yet that body never thinks it necessary to publish many ordinances. Our citizens generally are much in favor of sewerage, and say it is the best movement started in years. The only thing to do it seems is to arrange for the election on the question and our people will vote for sewerage. Shot From Ambush. "Woodruff, Aug. 4.?While on his ^ -way to Antioch church to attend rellgious worship, Robert Hanna, a 5-.;: "well s known citizen of Kilgore, this " county, was shot from ambush by unknown parties. He was badly wound| l ed in the face and neck. Monday afternoon Mr. Hanna left his home at Kilgore to attend wor- , ifeV ship at Antioch church. His route carried him through a dense patch jfe;- of woods and as he was passing ?>}' through the thickest portion a shot -was fired from the right hand side jBfey of the path and Mr. Hanna fell from Ev his mule, his face and neck riddled Spy with bird shot. Although badly wounded, Mr. Hanna succeeded in making his way to the home of a neighbor and mediIp'S / cal assistance was summoned, a phy& " -V sician being secured from Enoree. About 40 shots were extracted from t- Mr. Hanna's face and neck. One shot pierced the jawbone and could - not be extracted. The shooting created a great deal of excitement in the neighborhood and many theories have been advanced as to who did it. It is said that Mr. Hanna has an idea who shot him and sensational developanents are expected, for it is understood that he has implicated several - -well known citizens of the Kilgore p-;' section of the county.

Creech shot and slightly wodnded , John McLemore in the leg this afternoon at the Southern depot, the ball ( also passing through the coat sleeve of Bernie McLemore, John's father, j The shooting occurred while the men 1 were riding in a buggy in company j with Frank Cruhbs. From what can be learned this evening the three men had driven to the depot to get a suit case belonging to Barnie McLemore, and when a short distance from the station on their return to town they heard a command to halt, and when they turned saw the sheriff standing by a tree with a pistol in his hand. According to the occupants of the buggy and the testimony of an eye-witness, Sheriff Creech leveled his pistol and fired, the bullet passing through the elder McLemore's sleeve and lodging in John's leg a few inches above the knee. Mr. Crubbs whipped his horse into a run to prevent any further trouble and McLemore came on to town and received medical attention. His wound, while not serious, was rather . painful and "he will be able to be out again in a few days. The ball passed between the bone and the artery. John McLemore stated this, afternoon that he would swear out a warrant against Sheriff Creech, charging ( fleannlt .and hatterv with intent to , kill. Mr. Crubbs, the owner of the \ buggy, says that he will indict the \ sheriff if possible. It is understood . that the sheriff was attempting to < make a seizure of whiskey. It is re- \ ported that he said he was firing at ( the horse and not at the men. CAPTURED IX NEW YORK. Escaped Convict From Florida Held ] Without Bail. j "~~" ' I New York, Aug. 5.?James E.
