Richard Henry Austin, have ahaken the *<ir rounding territory as nothing has done in years. - Fully one thousand men from Barnwell and Hampton countie*. their faces showing the grim determi nation to have vengeance, today searched every nook and corner of the community in which the tragedies occurred for the negro. The patience of those men w-ho have searched so diligently is almost exhausted. The period of excitement is over, but in its place is the settled and st4hdfast desire to do something for revenge. This is the expressed state ment of a number of men who com pose the searching party. The bloodhounds from the State Penitentiary are on the grounds and early this morning struck the trail of the negro, but the trail ran into a public highway ami was lost, the evidences being that a conveyance was used.. Whether confederates or accessories furnished the conveyance is a question asked by many of those on the scene. defused to It is known that in the neighbor hood where the negro was last setn last night a negro hot supper was in progress and attempts were made by some of the searchers to procure assistance from those in attendance upon the supper hut they steadfast ly refused. This adds fuel to the ire and what may occur ift not known.

Bowers was hurried at his family burial grounds, near the little town of Gifford, in this county, while it is author«tativel> stated that Dr Moore, lingering in Know!ton’s Infirmary in Columbia. » will not recover. The details of the shooting are that after the man Austin hud pre pared himself with several bovs of b>nk shot, shells and a gun and a large calibre pistol w<th suthcienl ammunition, he attempted to as sault the wif# of a prominent tarmer in the Luray section o: the'eounty. The lady by trickery succeeded in getting a shotgun and tan the negro out of the house at th** same time giving the alarm. Mr J.«G. Folk, a near neighbor. - hearing the alarm ran to the assistance of the woman and shot at Austin, who barricaded v himself behind a large box 'and Mr Folk was unable to shoot him The negro then commanded other negroes to harness his mule to a wagon, 4 which they did, and he made h s es cape.

When within twenty feet of the s . hidden negro Judge Edenfleld was shot through the breast and stomach with buck shot and falling to the ground, called out. ’’Get him. boys for he’s got me.” Mr. Harter dropped to his knees, and with his If-shot Winchester iddled the logs and bushes, form- hg the borricale of the negro, with bullets. The negro evidently fearing to rise did not qhoot st the search er* more, and Wring death, the men withdrew out of range of Aus tin’s gun. Austin wisely, from his viewpoint, stuck his overcoat up on a nearby tree, and this coat, which was after wards recovered for the use of the bloodhounds in getting the scent, was also seen to be filled with bullet holes. Talked with Parwoer*. No further attack was made on the negro at that time and the au thorities in Columbia were commu nicated with for dogs and men. Night came. Fires were built by two negro men all around this ^ond except on one side. Austin, knowing that some negroes were engaged in building these fires walked boldly out to where several white searchers were stand ing. and upon being halted explained that he was one of the men wh9 had been building fires around the pond and that he was going up to his house and that he hoped they would get be negro who had killed two of tb< best white men in this country. He was allowed to paas, but not stopping at the house indicated and stopping and dodging for the woods, the men on guard knew th^that he had es caped and immediately gave chase.

" V ft MESSAGE uinvnsnY’s growth noted New Dormitories Depart are of Pre*-- ifleet Mitchel State High School Athletic Meet—Variou* Student V v Activities. Editor Press and Standard. Walter boro, S. C.: Dear Mr. Editor—Believing that a few linea relative to the happen- inga at the State University will be of interest to the readers of your pa per, and incldeatly helpful to the College itself. I write them with much delight. • One of the moqt striking incidents of the University to its rapid growth, which haa taken place during the last few years. The present student-body to by far the largest that the college has ever had. It to composed not only of young men of South Carolina, but it also has students from many other states. Men from various colleges are pursuing their studies here, some in the Law School, some in the engin eering department, some ' in the Teachers’ School, and so on'. There are many inldcations that the college will continue to grow at the preterit rate, until it becomes equal to any great Northern or Western Universi ties. It has been but a few mdnths since a large dormitory ’was thrown open for occupancy. And now work has been started on another of the same size on the opposite side of the campus. In the basement of this building will be placed a heating plant, which will supply a long felt need of such an apparatus for the en tire colege. The new dormitory, and other conveniences, are of course in anticipation of a decidedly greater number of students next ^ear. Dy che’s Hall, which is at. adJitlor to the Y. M. C. A. Building, .vas re- 'ently completed, and put in use. Ii is used as a center for-all Y. M. C A. meetings, and student gatherings. The manual training course being conducted this year for its first time at the University is growing to large dimensions. It is occupying the at tention of crowds of students who realize the. real importanc eof such instruction. On account of its suc cess this year, it w ill ir. all probabilit: be a permanent phase of the Univer sity’s curriculum On last Thursday an i Friday, hiah school pupils from all sections of the state assembled at the Univer sity for the Inter-high School Athletic Meet. Thursday night they held ir. the chapel • a declaimer’s contest There were eight speakers ahd each one did well. This is a new aspect of the annual affair, so i’ - is hoped that much wider interest will be tak en In it next spring. Or. Fr day afternoon the athletic contest was held It was extremely interesting, and well attended The Stute-Inter-Uollegiate Oratori- al Contest was held at Winthrop Col lege last Friday night. D was in deed a s.gnai victory for Carolina, whose representative. M. A. Wright, of Trenton. S. was wiener of first place. College men from all over the state were gathered there for the occasion. The meeting was thorough ly enjoyed by all present, and Win- throp’s hospitality will long he re membered. The whole college has lately been saddened by the announcement of Dr. Mitchell as to his departure in June. The loss of this great educa tor w ill no doubt be felt over the en tire state fdr he does not confine his labors within the campus walls. South Carolina can ill afford to lose Dr Mitrhel! at thi* critical time, but on account ot the states political renditions and the larger openin'? for , him, no one can blame -him fo; leaving It is thought that it will lw but a short time beMre he will be made president of the grea* Univer sity of Virginia.
