SEMI-PASTE STAG PAINT
H
is an improved form of prepared paint of highest quality as to
materials and the skill and care with which the various ingredi
ents are put in combination. For second and third coats,
average work, thinning is required by the addition of an equal
quantity of linseed oil or turpentine, as the case may render
necessary—priming coats taking 11 to 2 gallons of thinning
liquid. It can be used upon any kind of surface, and if applied
according to intelligent methods of painting, will prove as valu
able in wearing qualities and in appearance as paint can be
made to be. Stag Paint is warranted to be made of perfectly
: pure materials, and to be absolutely free of all or any of the nu
merous forms of adulterations used in many paints. If found
dili'eront to this representation, we will forfeit the value of the
paint, and the cost of applying it in all instances.

Dangerously Wounded by a Nineteen-Year-
Old Iloy In Spartanburg.
John D. Collins, one of Spartan
burg’s most prominent merchants
and former proprietor of “The Bat
tery” at this place, was shot and seri
ously wounded in Spartanburg Fri
day afternoon by Clifton Gholston, a
boy nineteen years of age. The follow
ing facts about the shooting were given
by the Spartanburg Journal of Friday
afternoon:
“John D. Collins, proprietor of the
Bee Hive, was shot at 1:40 this after
noon by Clifton Gholston, a boy 19
years of age. The wound is a serious
one and may prove fatal.
“The shooting was done in the Bee
Hive, near the front door, and was
witnessed by several of the clerks.
The weapon was a 32 calibre Smith
& Wesson pistol with every chamber
charged. One shot was fired.
“Mr. Collins was carried to hia
home on South Converse street. Dr.
L. J. Blake was the first physician to
reach him. .No statement seems to
have been made by the wounded man.
At 2 o’clock Dr. Blake said Mr. Col
lins was too weak to make a state
ment.
“The trouble was over a settlement.
Young Gholston has been employed
by Mr. Collins for a few weeks in sell
ing a stock of goods bought from
Gholstou’s father, C. A. Gholston.
Gholston went to the Bee Hive and
he and Mr. Collins had some hot
words. The clerks noticed that each
man had his hands on the sbonlders of
the other.
“Gholston broke away and as he
reeled drew a pistol from his pocket
and fired. Mr. Collins rushed on
him and Harrison Ferguson took the
pistol from the boy. Gholston was
borne down by Mr. Collins and they
grappled on the floor.
“Gholston was arrested and carried
to the station house. A reporter for
The Journal asked him if he bad a
statement to make and he said he
had none. He was very nervous and
seemed to have been considerably
hurt. He had scratches and bruises
ou the face and neck. He seems to
have been bruised on other parts of
the body. Ghoiston’s father is here.”
Mr. Collins is quite well and favor
ably known in GaiTney, both person
ally and by reputation, and his
friends here were very much shocked
and pained when they learned of the
sad occurrence.
The ball entered Mr. Collins’ body
above the stomach and just below the
heart, and has not yet been located.
For some time it was thought the
wound would prove fatal, but some
hope is now entertained for his re
covery. Mr. Sanders, a salesman for
Mr. Collins in Spartanburg and who
was an eye witness to the shooting,
came over to the city yesterday morn
ing. He stated that Mr. Collins was
resting well when he left Spartan
burg, and that he was perfectly con
scious and seemed bright and cheer
ful. No attempt has yet been made
to locate the ball.
Another Carrier I'lgeon.
1’rof. L. B. Davis, who lives a few
miles above the city in the Stevy
neighborhood, has a carrier pigeon at
his place which evidently lost Us
way and strayed up in that section.
It has a silver ring on its right leg
and a gold one on the left. The sil
ver ring is marked with letters that
look like “H. C.,” though they can
not be seen distinctly. The gold
band is engraved with figuers.
Quite a number of these carrier
pigeons have been killed and captured
In this section, and though the
marks they bear are generally pub
lished, we do not remember a single
case where anything was learned in
regard to the place of their liberation
nor their intended destination.
Item Deatrojred by Fire.
On Thursday, July 4th, a barn
belonging to William Young, who
lives in the Algood neighborhood,
was destroyed by fire. In the barn
were forty or fifty buebels of corn
and about 185 buebele of wheat, all
of which were coneumed by the
flames. It is presumed that the Are
originated from some hot ashes which
were thrown on a pile of atraw beelde
or near the barn, by Mra. Young.
The loaa wee quite a heavy one for
Mr. Young, and hie friends sympa
thize with him in bis misfortune.
Cotton liloouift,
The first cotton blooms we have
seen this season were sent to this
office Wednesday and yesterday.
The first to come in was sent us by
J. L. Strain, Esq., of Etta Jane, the
next one, on same day, by Frank Mc-
Cluney, of Abingdon; the third was
brought us by Mr. J. C. Lipscomb
and came from Dock Hopper’s, color
ed, field two miles above the city; the
fourth was sent by Alma Webber, of
Dellinger’s, and the fifth came from
J. J. Vassey’s place near the old lead
mine, two or three miles below the
city. They were all red ones and of
good size.
Pierre Pascele, an Indian, who was
arrested and handcuffed in New Mex
ico, escaped from bis captor and dis
appeared. Next day he sent a mes
senger to the sheriff offering to return
the handcuffs upon receipt of the
key to unlock them. The request
was granted and ail hands seem satis
fied.
