IRob<s% Petty Brutally Slain on I Greenville Farm. Greenville, Oct. 7.?Between the * hours of 1 and 2 o'clock this morning, out in a lonely farm yard, eight fcniles from Greenville, with none looking on but a single man and the pals harvest moon, three white men, one of them among the coun ty's wealthiest citizens, fought a hand to hand duel with bare fists and stones until the skull of one man was beaten into an almost unrecog - - - -XI. (>v nizabie mass witu a. iucrv. The coroner this afternoon, by vir[ . ^ tue of the findings of the jury of inquest, issued a warrant charging B. Perry Edwards and Will Edwards, v brothers, with the death of Robert Petty." Perhaps because B. Perry Edwards can easily sign a check for one hun? dred thousand dollars, and is an ini Ifluential citizen, he will not be arrested and brought to jail. According to the statement of a county official this afternoon, Mr. Edwards will come to town next Monday and see about arranging his bond. The brother, Will Edwards, is said to be i too badly bruised to be moved from his home. The quarrel took place in the yard of one Burl Hudson, who is a tenant on the farm of Robert Perry, the dead man. The gist of the testimony, adduced at the inquest this afternoon, is to |3p / the effect that the Edwards brothers H went to Burl Hudson's house Friday night about 8 o'clock to collect a bill from him. Petty lived about three hundreds yards from the man's house, and was engaged until 11 ^o'clock that night in hauling forage to his barn from the fields. Story of Eye-Witness. The only eyewitness to the ffair said that he was in his porch while the Edwards brothers and Petty were in the yard; that suddenly he heard blows being passed, and heard Will Edwards call for help. Looking , about, the witness said, he saw Will Edwards and Petty clinichled, and I that Perry Edwards came to his | brother's aid, and the three locked [ again and fell to the ground. When the struggle ended the Edwards |. brothers arose, but Petty lay dead. He Beat Booker Washington. New York, Oct. 9.?Harry Ulrich, who was arrested several months ago on a charge of assaulting Booker T. Washington, will be tried here next Monday. The prosecutor applied to the court to-day for several subpoenas in r connection with the case.

GRAHAM, Man W6?6?Q?OiQMQlfO]IQXOMOKOXOIK> STRANGE ACCIDENT OF THE SEA. Hindu Fireman Washed Overboard and Back on Ship Again. Gul Mamud is a Hindu fireman -working in the engine room of the steamship Indra, which arrived in port last Tuesday. It is evidently not Mamud's fate to be drowned at sea. On August 12 a giant wave struck the Indra and Mamud, who was walking on the forward deck was washed overboard. The next wave caught him, hurled him over the aft rail, and he clung on until the ship's carpenter dragged him aboard. When reporters boarded the Indra they were told of the fireman's strange escape, but they smiled the smile that comes with years of experience in gathering news from the far east ships. Nor would they be convinced that the story was true until the ship's log was brought out by Chief Officer Stafford.1 The Indra, which came here via Gibraltar and Boston, was in 36.42 N. and 30.39 W., 1,300 miles from the American coast when she ran into a blow that sent the sea crashing over her deck. At eight o'clock Mamud was standing by the forward rail on the starboard side, feeling his way to the fo' castle. Suddenly the bow dipped into an enormous wave and Mamud was swept clear over the rail into the boiling sea. The next moment the Indra lurched so far to starboard that her rail dipped into the foaming water. Mamud had come up. His hand touched something. .He closed it, and the next moment his left arm was nearly pulled from its socket. He had caught the rail and was being pulled along by the Indra. j John Hendrickson, the ship's carpenter, sprang to whefe he saw something black clinging to the rail and pulled him in, half drowned and very Daaiy .irigutcucu. The Indra is 420 feet in length. From where Mamud went overboard to the point where he clutched the rail, is a little more than 200 feet, and had not the Indra lurched to starboard with the wave that washed the Hindu off his feet, Mamud never would have been saved. Money Shipment Lost. Schriever, La., Oct. 9.?It was discovered yesterday that a mail bag believed to contain $5,000 was stolen from the freight offices of the railroad here early Saturday.

The sweetest thing that ever happened in New Orleans occurred this morning when the tanks containing 5,000,000 gallons of molasses hurst in the warehouse of the Sugar Planters', Storage Company. Part of the commercial district was flooded with a stream of molasses so deep that many persons had narrow escapes from drowning in the sticky stuff. The people in the street adjoining the burst tanks had to wade through molasses up to their waists, or even to their chins in some instances. , Several persons tried to swim in the molasses, but it was like the antics of a fly on gummy fly paper, and they had to be Tescued. There was a general rush for hot baths as soon as those who had been engulfed succeeded in crawling to places of safety. To repair the breaks in the tanks it was necessary to row boats into the warehouse on the surface of the sticky flood. . For a time it was hoped to save much of the molasses, but a water rru AVI/1 WlA utaiu i/iUACf j. 11c noici auu tuc uuwlasses quickly mixed and both disappeared in the sewers.

Teat of the board of directors of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, says that the strike of the firemen on the Georgia & Fiorida railroad has been settled. The men will get 50 per cent, of engineers' pay. All men have returned to work as their contracts required. The firemen won their contentions, the message says. The settlement of the wage question was a complete victory for the firemen, who last night refused to compromise on a 45 per cent, basis and demanded the 50. The settlement resulted largely from efforts of business men who were handicapped by the tie-up of the road. There will be no use now for the temporary injunction issued yesterday by Federal Judge Sheppard in Petnsacola to restrain the strikers from interfering with the non-union men operating the road.

Anderson, Oct. 4.?Walter Hall, the young white man who shot and instantly killed his father, Oscar Hall, near here a few days ago, has been admitted to bail in the sum of $1,500. T. Frank Watkins, attorney, appeared before Justice Gary at Abbeville yesterday afternoon. Young > Hall is extremely ill and has never 1 been brought to the county jail. It will be recalled that Oscar Hall returned to his home in an intoxicated condition and struck his wife with a broom handle. Toung Hall, who was in bed with a bad attack of gastritis, staggered from his bed, secured his 22 calibre pistol, and shot his father three times, all of the bullets piercing the heart. r* xi n J id jtapxize x/uduciiiiicu iu<ui. Anderson, Oct. 4.?Sheriff King to-day received an order from Judge Geo. E. Prince, who is now presiding over court at Marion, to convey Samuel Hyde, under sentence to hang on October 20 for the murder of his wife, to the first Baptist church where Hyde may be baptized and received as a member of the church. ~Dr\-rr Tntin P XT)nAo "Pi Pi nopfni* nf nctr. ifuuu r < t iuco, x/> jl/<, v? this church, recently sent a petition to Judge Prince, who was the presiding Judge and who passed sentence on Hyde, stating that Hyde had professed conversion and desired to be baptized. The petition also stated that it would be inconvenient to conduct the baptism in the jail. Dr. Vines is at Laurens attending the Laurens County Baptist association, but he is expected to return in a few days, at which time the order of the court will be obeyed. ' NO JUDGE AVAILABLE. Therefore, Chief Justice Orders Anderson Fall Court Abolished. Anderson, Oct. 5.?Because of in . ability to get a special judge to preside over the regular term of common pleas court, in the absence of Judge Klugh, who is ill, Chief Justice Jones has ordered that the term be abolished. Court is supposed to convene here on Monday to last three weeks. Many cases of importance are on the docket ready for trial. Must Stop Rush for Divorces. Kansas Citv. Oct. 4.?So numerous I have become applications for divorce , at each session of the circuit court in , this county that the judges of the court, sitting en banc to-day decided some action must be taken to stop ( the rush. The majority of the judges favor the suggestion of having the board of public welfare employ an attorney or attorneys to investigate each suit as it is filed. At a recent session of the divorce court almost sixty decrees were granted in one day. It is said many persons leave the State after obtaining their divorces. i Balloonist's Fatal Plunge. Tifton, Ga., Oct. 5.?While en! gaged in a balloon race at the South Georgia Exposition here this after,fl_H ' noon, uapt. jonn joruuer ien iw ?ci from his balloon and was instantly killed. Broder had just finished a high diving act, and Prof. Gowdy, an aeronaut, was preparing to ascend when Border'volunteered to take another balloon and race. Both bali loons ascended perfectly, a few yards apart, for a distance of 800 to 1,000 feet, when the signal for them to cut loose was fired. Broder dropped slightly in advance of his fellow balloonist, but 1 in some unknown manner his parai chute failed to fill and he plunged to earth like a shot. Despite Broder's fate, which he witnessed, Gowdy also cut loose and landed safely nearly half a mile away. Broder was unmarried and has a mother and sister living at Green Lake, Wis. Charleston Storm Damages. It has been almost six weeks since the Charleston hurricane and the storm insurance companies and agencies are still figuring on the losses and are yet unprepared to give more information than to say that the losses are probably under $300,000. The estimate of the insurance losses were much in excess of this amount at the first reports and even now the campanies are hopeful of trimming clown tne ngures as tucj appear on the surface. A loss of $300,000 to the insurance companies would mean a general storm damage, it is estimated of certainly a million and a quarter dollars in Charleston and it has been figured that the loss may he even larger than this sum. Conservative estimates have put the damage by the cyclone at just within the million dollar mark; not counting the property damage about the islands and the mainland and some people seem to think that these figures are pretty nearly correct, no matter how the figures show on the loss to the insurance companies and the relative amount of the uninsured property to that which was covered. 1 OF THE SEASON S | | Z We received last week a car load of extra B g 3 nice Horses, this being the first car load of B 2 j the season for the county.
