SCHOOLMASTER A MOONSHINER Greenville County Teacher Bound Over to Federal Court. Greenville, Dec. 27.?Before United States Commissioner E. M. Blythe to-day, Prof. W. T. Lindsay, principal of Glassy Mountain school and a deacon in a country church, pleaded guilty to working in an illicit distillery, the case being sent to the next term of Federal court and the defendant released on bond. Prof. Lindsay was arrested Monday by raiders in the "Dark Corner," the school master, it is alleged, having been caught while engaged in , the manufacture of "moonshine" in a secluded cove under Glassy Moun- ; tain. With Lindsay at the time was an other man, but he was evidently older at the business and effected his i escape on the approach of the reve- < nue men. ! The still was located within a ; stone's throw of the school house, ] where the man of letters spent his ; morning in teaching young ideas how ] to shoot; later, it is charged, putting ] in his evenings and nights in the little sheltered cove making white ; liquor. So far as known the case has i not a parallel in all the "Dark Cor- j ner's" checkered history. 1 "BIG TIM" FEEDS 5,000 MEX. Homeless Enjoy Feast while Bene- < * ?<- ?11 IUCIWX" JU 111 JUVU.

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH. s Killing in Kingstree by Unknown Person?Reward of $100. e Kingstree, Dec. 26.?James Flemc ing. a colored man from the Works man section of Clarendon county, 1 was shot and mortally wounded here ? Christmas Eve night, dying yesterday I - morning. Fleming was standing in K - \V. E. .Tenkinson's store, on East is 1 .Main street, and was being waited on fe s by one of the clerks, when suddenly I* - he uttered a groan and sat down. A |jj t special police happened to be near f and went to the man, to find that |j - he had been shot and was bleeding R r fearfully from a wound which was in r i the thigh. .Medical aid was secured k it nil no arH ovprvthinff was done tO H . ? - gg t save Fleming's life, but the large ar- 5i r tery in the thigh had been severed ? . and the loss of blood was too great , before aid could be obtained. He livt ed until yesterday morning, but nevj er did he rally from the effects of - the wound. 1 As to where the shot came from or - who fired the pistol, the town authorities are without any clue. There 1 were so many firecrackers and torpe does being fired by the boys all over I town, that one could not distinguish i these from that of a pistol, and especially so in this section of town. The only thing that throws any light on the act, is that a few minutes be- T| fore this, a pistol carrying a 38 ball was fired from across the street into I an adjoining store window to that in [1 which the negro was shot, and the I ' ball which came out of the wound was 1 the same in size as that. M | It is understood that the mayor I has offered a reward of $100 for the ^ arrest of the guilty person. V Jack Johnson's Many Servants. K Chicago, Dec. 24.?Jack Johson.

Lake Geneva residents are indig- 9 ; nant at Judson E. Sherman, the grain 1 - dealer, who sold the place to John- J son.

"He will not find it very pleasant t there, we can promise him that," said c ; Frederick Bartlett. "It looks like a t > shrewd deal on his part to force pay- j i ment of an exhorbitant price to get - him out."
