CoU’Ih 'Irll* rt M r;iit£4 Story*
Columbia, S. 0 , Dec. l. —A crime
that has shocked the eojnnmnity by its
atrociousuess and mystified the c.Ulcers
because of lack of motive was committed
on Dr. Hamilton Cooper’s plantation, in
Sumter county, Rosa Joseph and Anna
Isaac, first cousins, aged respectively 11!
and 14, were sleeping in a house by
themselves, the building adjoining that
occupied by Rosa’s mother.
Anna says she was awakened by hear
ing a rapping on the side of the house;
t iat she got up and made a light which
tevealed a man in the room who was
approaching her cousin. Anna ran out
• •f the house and awaking her Aunt
n ’vt door told her something was wrong.
A p trfy, headed by the girl, returned to
me nouse, with lights, ami were met by
the sight of Rosa lying on the floor wel
tering in blood, her head being split
open and almost severed from the body.
A bioc-dy ax was lying on the girl’s
body. The neighborhood was aroused
and search for ilie perportrator of the
mine was begun, but no duo was
found. There was no evidence of the
house having been broken open or en
tered by any one.
Finally it was developed that the two
girls had had frequent quarrels of late,
Anna appearing jealous at partiality
shown her cousin by her aunt. It was
supposed that when in the room to
gether, the quarrelling had been re
newed, and that the elder girl in a fit of
rage had buried the ax m the head of
her cousin and tlieu manufactured the
Btorv.
On the strength of tliis snspieion Anna
has been anested and Itx'ked up in Sum
ter jail to await the coroner's inquest.

‘‘Progress’’ Pleads for the Creation of
Dorchester County.
To the Editor of the News and
Courier: —On December Kith an i lec
tion will be held in parts of Colleton
and llorkly counties, that will decide
the fate ol the proposed new county
of Dorchester.
As this is a question of vital inpor-
tuuce, especially to the citizens of
Summerville, and ns there are prob
ably those who have given the matter
little thought, or who may have been
misled into believing that the many
advantages to be derived from the
success of this movement can only
be had at;the cost of much higher
taxation, I would like to call atten
tion to a few facts and figures for the
benefit of those interested:
For many years past it lias been
the dream of our people to cut loose
from the two enormous counties of
Berkeley and Colleton, embracing
together a territory twice the size of
the State of Rhode Island, and to
form a compact county, of moderate
size, without an overwhelming col
ored population and all its attend-;
ant drawbacks and demoralizing in- :
fluencos.
Dorchester county, if created, will
always be controlled by white iner. j
without the necessity for frauduleLt j
elections. It will contain something
over 'MO square miles and about 11.-
(liiO inhabitants, n largo proportion
of whom are white. The property is
assessed at two million dollars in
round numbers.
Throughout the length of the
county extends the South Carolina
and Georgia Railroad, at no paint
far distant from the county limit.-.
Across tlie county runs the Charles
ton, Sumter and Northern Railroad.
Along these roads are a number of
prosperous towns, Summerville. Si.
Gaffney Will Endeavor to Do Her
jFull Duty.
Some | coplo have said that there
would 1 ; n heavy expense on the tax-
paynv l y the furnishing of the vari
ous county ofTiccs with books, Mu-
tioiury, chairs, desks, etc. Yester
day a bond was given that incase the
new county carried that Gaffney
would furnish nil these without cost
to the county. In other words, it is
proposed that the establishment of
this new county shall not cost the
taxpayers one cent if the court house
is located at Gaffney.
George’s, Ridgeville, Reeve’s, ilur-
leyvillc and several others; the two
first being the prominent candidates
for county seatship. The town of
Summerville alone paid into the
treasuries of Berkeley and Colleton
last year fur State and county taxes
the enormous sum of .'i'S,2 < .)2, and we
may well ask to what extent has the
town benefited by lids tremendous
outlay?
The same amount judiciously ex
pended in the snug little county of
Dorchester, under the eyes of the
tax-payers, would go a iong way to
wards giving us first-rate public
and number one county roads.
The saving of expense in maintain
ing the public highways, in provid
ing for paupers and in conducting
prisoners across the county and othes
expenses will aggregate a very large
amount in the course of the year.
Indeed, under a wise and economi
cal county government there is no
reason why the present heavy bur
den of taxation should not be light
ened rather than increased, and the
people will have this satisfaction of
seeing their money expended close
it hand and in building up a county
of which they w Hi feel justly proud.
If anyone feels any doubt as to the
necessity for a new county let him
take the trip from Summerville to
Walterboro, a distance of forty miles
of sandy road, on a July day, with
the mercury at f)0 degrees in the
shade, and return, after spending a
week or more in attendance on court,
or, if he prefers, let him undergo th"
same experience over in Berkeley,
and if he is not convinced his pow ers
of endurance must lie greater than
those of the average human being.
An effort is being made in certain
quarters to prejudice people against
the movement by stating that tin-
cost of putting up new county build
ings will necessitate heavy additional
taxation. In the fir.at place, it is
more than likely that the towns
competing for the county seat will
make liberal offers of aid, which will
materially reduce the expense of
county buildings but even should
this not be the case a tax of one mill
for four years would cover the whole
muster, Berkeley county lias re
cently put up a brick court house on
a tax of l.j mills for two years. S->
the court bouse bugbear need scare
off in voles. Our people have na
turally been so much disgusted with
the manner in which elections have
been conducted in the past few years
that they have become (lukewarm in
the matter of voting. Under the
new law there is no need or opp< r-
tunity for fraud. Let every one,
then, who lias the welfare of Sum
merville at heart, and who wishes to
have a share in the^ formation of the
banner county of the low country,
who is in favor of good schools, go -<!
roads and honest and economical
county government, with a county
seat in easy reach of everyone, turn
out on December loth and cast hi-
Imllot Mr Dorchester coitnty and
Summerville as the countv seat.

Col. T. L. (I \sty, Editor Headlight:
Dear Sir: Your varacity I can
not impugn. But I must, and do,
challenge the correctness of your
statement in the Headlight that the
people within the confines of our
I iMposed new county, Limestone, are
opposed to it. Your lack of familiar
ity with the facts, owing in large
measure to your remoteness from us
has caused you to bo misled by over
zealous and misguided opponents
of the scheme. Were you in our midst
and acquainted with the fact and
circumstances, and had a knowledge
of the intelligence and progressive
spirit of our people, as we have,
you would, as we do, realize that the
formation of the new county is a
necessity and that it will be adopted
i>y an overwhelming vote on Decom
ber 8th. Of this there is not and
j cannot be a vestige of a doubt.
Tho-x* who know me are aware
that 1 am not given to boasting, ex-
g.xfill ion or blutiing. But in order
that there may be no mistake in re-
gurd to the matter, 1 will bet $1000
to . t O 11, open to the world, that the
new <• ninty will be established. For
every dollar put up by the opponents
of the scheme I will go “two better.”
This proposition to remain in force
till the day of the election.
But 1 will say right here that 1
find no fault with you or anyone else
| for opposing the new county.
You have the same right to iip-
1 pos. it as we have to. advocate it.
We are all freemen in a free country,
and freedom of speech and freedom
of the press are the bulwarks of
iibtriy. And 1 state in this con
nection what i have asserted else
where, that while you have struck
from the shoulder you have not hit
Indovv the lielt. You have proven to
he an honorable adversary and we
experience
" I’iii ii.-rcr joy which warriors feel

GENERAL CONGLOMERATION her life truly saved.
<)• Uinn worthy of their steel. '
For my own part I am glad that
a man of your universally recognized
superior ability with the pen have
■ on proper to espouse the other side,
for the reason that I, in common
with our people generally, have de
sired light on the subject and since
hearing your arguments I am more
thoroughly convinced than ever
thnt the m.>v county should be and
wii! he formed since the reasoning of
- : !i an able man as you arc have
net overturned a single one of the
di'.xrs weighty arguments in favor of
it. But you have handled the matter
'.\itii great skill and adroitness. It
shows what a smart man can make
out of a bad ease.
The election will be held and the
j new e unity established on Dec. 8th.
Dn December the 10th wc propose to
give a banquet in its honor where

with all ins might. He will doubt
less find flaws enough to write about
for a long time after the election if
he confines himself to that section.
I am very glad that those anti-new

presented in the most reasonable
light, while the best of feeling pre- i

people present. Owing to a misun- |

We hud a very interesting debate j
at the school house on .Saturday
night. The subject was: “Resolved,

I (ral speeches were made on both
sides, but the affirmative curried tri
umphantly. One speaker said that
when lie got out of tobacco he would
whip his wife and knock his children
about cruelly. Another said that if
his wife used tobacco lie would not
sleep with her; or, if be di-l, ho
j would turn his head to the other end
of the bed. I never heard tobacco
get such a pounding in all my life.

Dr. J. Roddy Miller stopped at
Rock Mill on bis way borne fro:ri
New York. While in Rock Hill h •
talked with :i number of people it
regard to the new county. He soys
that in every instance ho was led to
believe that Rock Hill was s ! ui • •
“ laying low ” about the now county
and wailing the result of our elu
tion. and tbat in the event of orr
failure to get it. Rock Hill will push
iter claim for all it is worth.
A gentb man approached J. <L
Little in Sjc.rtunburg some days
ago and asked him if 10.000 won: !
defeat our new county. Mr. Little
told him no. and then the g-mtl -
man asked him how much it won el
take. Mr. Little replied that lie did
not think any sum of money could
defeat it. Wo only print tliis to
show that outside influence and
money is being brought to bear to
defeat the new county. What in
terest could outsiders have in -pend
ing money to defeat this new county
except a purely selfish one? Will
gome one answer?
Wo yiel 1 nearly ail our space this
week to our friends wiio have a word
to say in b half of the new cou
In this comuction we beg to say that
this is tlie p - 'pie s paper, and h!h ■
they feel like editing it on a great
issue wc yield. Wc are no organ.
We represent t he people and the peo
ple represent us. Wo appreciate their
aid and we in turn promise tha* we
shall ever strive to repres nt t leir
interests. Friend - do not, simply i t -
cause the new county campaign i-
endrd, foci that you cun bo of no
service to us. Whether we win or
not, we have made a gallant, truth
ful fight and wc feel that our cause
is a just one. Wo believe wo will
win in spite i f all opposition. Kc-i;
hammering away for the new county
until flic last ballot is put in the box
on election day.
