Unless there is a commutation of his sentence Aaron Williams, the ra pist, will be hanged in Camden on No vember 4th next. The railroad commission has fixed November 1st as the date for oral ar guments to be made in the now long delayed freight rate case. After that a decision will be made as soon as all the facts are gone over. Mr. Giles L. Wilson, cashier of the Central National Bank of Spartanburg and of the Spartanburg Savings Bank, has been appointed receiver for the Valley Falls Manufacturing Company, and has assumed charge of the pro perty of the company. The fertilizer tax now amounts to $103,570.40 and more money is com ing in every day. Last year the in come from this source for the entire twelve months was only $98.009.1'» and the money received after October 5th was $6,823.25. All of this money goes to Clemson College in addition to other appropriations. Early Monday morning a negro named Thompson went to the place of Mr. W. T. Smarr in Bullock’s Creek township, near Broad river, and kill ed another negro named Jeter, using a double barreled shotgun, firing both loads into his victim. Jeter was pick ing cotton in the field at the time. The trouble arose over the wife of Jeter. J. Edward Anderson, the depot agent at Mayesville, who killed Hurst, appeared with his attorney before Judge Dantzler Tuesday under habeas corpus proceedings. The motion was resisted by the solicitor on the grounds mat he had not been served with copies of the affidavits and the judge postponed the hearing until last night in Sumter. Fourteen boarders and two servants were poisoned at Mrs. Mattie J. Wil son’s boarding house, 1523 Washing ton street, Columbia, Sunday, by eat ing ice cream made from pineapple in which too much acid had been used in the canning process. None will die, but five are still painfully ill. Some half a dozen who ate the cream were not ejected. William T. Latham, who has been confined in the county jail at Camden for several weeks awaiting the fall term of court, to be tried for shooting at a Mr. Redmond on the streets of Camden some months ago, committed suicide Tuesday afternoon at about 5:30 o’clock by drinking two ounces of lysol, a poisonous disinfectant which had been given him to use on his wound. When found he was in the last throes and made no statement to any one. C. H. Reed, a flagman on the South ern Railway, running between Augus ta and Columbia, was killed by a pas senger train at Langley Monday night between 8 and 9 o’clock. He w.~s sit ting beside the track asleep when strck by the train and instantly, killed. It appears that he was the flagman on freight train No 130 w’hich was on the way from Colum bia to Augusta and due to arrive there at about 9 o’clock. His brother was conductor of the train. The excitement which has been run ning high in Kershaw since the kill ing of Will Floyed and the lynching of John Morrison last Saturday night has abated and everything is quiet except the earnest efforts which are being put forth by Sheriff Hunter and Solicitor Henry in trying to ascer tain who the guilty parties are who took the law into their own hands. It is not likely that very much in formation will be gathered as every one is inclined to be reticent on the subject. There was quite a serious cutting affray late Monday afternoon on law range, in Columbia, in which Henry L. Dunning, a former policeman, was injured by J. W. Daniels. According to witnesses the affair started be cause Daniels had been previously convicted of disorderly conduct on Dunning’s testimony. Daniels struck at Dunning with a knife, and the lat er used a stick. Dunning was cut three times in the body before the two were separated and Dunning was taken to a physician. Daniels was ar rested. Attorney C. P. Sims, of Spartan burg, is determined to test the legality of-the operation of the beer privilege Institutions, which are a kind of a branch or annex of the liquor dispen saries. To this end he has indicted J. W. Husemann, of that city, on the grounds of violation of the dispensary ' iw, and will prosecute the case. Mr. Jims stated that he had no ill will towards Mr. Husemann, but that he had decided to make a test case of the matter. The result will be await ed with interest. Husemann’s beer dispensary is the oldest one in-Spar tanburg, What was Done in the General Ses sions Tuesday and Wednesday. When we closed our forms Monday evening, the case of the State vs. Sprouse and Phillips, white, for as sault and battery with intent to kill, was in progress and was closed before court adjourned. They were found guilty and Sprouse was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or four months on the county public works. He paid the fine. Phillips was given a new trial. T. B. Butler, attor ney. Court convened Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock. Mr. J. C. McLure, of Ches ter, acting solicitor. The first case up was the State vs. Frank Well and Maggie Shanks, colored, adultery. Acquitted. T. B. Butler, attorney. Next, the State vs. Drew Horn, white, violating the dispensary law and maintaining a nuisance. Acquit ted. J. C. Otts, attorney. Next, the State vs. Boyd L. Hames, white, assault and battery with intent to kill. Guilty of assault and battery. Fined $25. T. B. Butler, attorney. Next, the State vs. Viola Bridges, colored, violating dispensary law Acquitted. J. C. Otts, attorney. Next, the State vs. Frank Gladden, colored, bastardly. Acquitted. J. C. Otts, attorney.

Plead guilty to assault and battery of a high and aggravated na ture. Sentenced to seven months on the county public w r orks. Next, the State vs. S. B. McGee, col ored, for disposing of crop under lien. Case remanded to magistrate for trial. In the case of the State against one Dougall and a Mrs. Rice, white, for living in adultery, the grand jury found no bill. In this case the judge passed an order requiring that the cash bond of $1,000 deposited by the defendants be returned to them. It is evident that the grand jury had not sufficient evi dence before it to warrant prosecu tion. The criminal business having been disposed of, the jurors for the week were discharged. The grand jury finished its business also made its presentment and adjourned. Wednesday morning the court of common pleas was opened and equity business was taken up, and several minor cases w'ere heard. This closed the business of the court for this week, and it adjourned till Monday, the 10th instant. Judge Watts went to his home Wed nesday night. Presentment of Grand Jury. To His Honor, R. C. Watts, presid ing judge: The grand jury has passed upon all bills which have been presented for its consideration at this term. At the last term of this court this body appointed a committee to examine the books of the various county offi cers. This committee employed an expert who examined the books and reported that all of the said books were in good shape. This body recommended at the last term of court that a telephone be placed in the jail, and it is a matter of regret that this part of our recom mendation has been ignored: and we hereby impress upon the supervisor of the county the importance of carry ing out this recommendation. In view of the exhaustive investi gation made by this body at the last term of court, we deem it unneces sary to have any further action on this line at this term. All of which is respectfully submit ted. J. E. Watkins, Foreman. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. A Successful Session Held at Salem Church. Wilkinsville, Oct. 6.—Another chap ter has been added to the history of Sa lem church. The meeting of Enoree Presbytery, which took place there on the 4th instant, furnishes the material for that chapter; and it is one of which our people, irrespective of de nominational lines or affinities, work ed to make a success. Notwithstanding the water in Broad river was too low for the ferry boat to run, yet the delegates were provid ed a way to get to the church from the York side of the river (as most of them disembarked from the train at Hickory Grove) In all about forty ministers and del egates were present during the meet ing, which was called to order at 11 a. m., on Tuesday, Oct. 4th. In the absence of Rev. A. G. Wardlaw (who did not reach the. church until after that hour) Rev. B. P. Reid, the last moderator present, preached the opening sermon from the text: “For His word was with power,” Luke 4:32. Rev. A. A. James was chosen mod erator, and Elder Taylor, of the First Presbyterian church of GreenvL.e, assistant clerk. The centennial exercises came off yesterday and were witnessed by a large congregation of interested peo ple. Rev. B. P. Reid read the sketch of the church, and Rev. J. S. Watkins delivered an address on Presbyterian ism, which was highly commended as a clear exposition of the groundwork and Christian faith of the followers of John Calvin. This, we hope to see in print in the near future. Rev. Frank D. Hunt, of the Third church in Greenville, preached last night to a crowded house. His text was: “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha,” 1st Corinthi" * 16:22. Our people were very much disap pointed that the Presbytery did not last longer. Notwithstanding the urgent needs of the farmers to keep tip with their farm work they took time People You Know and People You Don’t Know. O. P.

Farmers Busy—A Man Killed—Per^ sonal Mention. King’s Creek, Oct. 3.—We are, and have been for some time, having some very dry weather. Cotton is opening fast and the farmers are busily en gaged in gathering it. Hands are scarce. Most of the people are selling their cotton as fast as they get it out. I believe they will sell it all if they can get ten cents per pound, which is a good price for it; but if the price goes lower than that, they will hold it. Saturday evening, September 24th, death came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Panther and took away their five-months-old baby girl. Its mother has been very ill for some time with the fever; but she is able to go about some now. The young people of Antioch had a lawn party at Mr. Bob Hardin’s re cently. We learn that they had a large crowd and a fine time. Misses Beatrice and Berdie Hogue and Ella Hardin started to Saluda to school last Saturday. They will be gone until Christmas, when they will return for a short vacation; after w’hich they will return and stay until school closes. They will be greatly missed here; but we wish them great success. A large number of the young peo ple of Antioch attended the associa tion at Zoar Sunday. They had a nice time taking into consideration the large crowd that was present and the great amount of dust. They re turned by Patterson’s Springs and w’ere refreshed by the mineral water, w’hich added greatly to their pleasure. Nero Griam, a colored man living near Antioch church, was hauling fodder Thursday night, September 22, when he fell from the wagon and broke his neck, dying instantly.

His head was struck by the mail hanger of the device used to hang mail pouches on for the postal clerks to grab and gather in the car while a train is in motion. This hanger is an Iron crane, protruding from the post. Freeland was knocked from the car and thrown a considerable distance. He lived for a few hours.

Charles Goodman, an 18-year-old boy of Charlotte, was tried in the Su perior Court in that city for highway robbery. It is alleged that young Goodman held up a young newsboy, Everett Cornelius, near the railroad, in the rear of the 4C’s. power house in Charlotte, about two months ago, and at the point of a pistol, robbed him of about $5—all the money the boy had. He was tried before the re corder, convicted, and committed to jail in default of bond, where he has remained since. The noted case of Editor McNeill, of the Carthage Blade, against the Durham and Charlotte Railroad Co. for damages on account of injuries sustained while riding on an expired free pass, is at last finally settled, the judgment for $4,500 damages being effective, the Supreme Court dismiss ing the motion by the railroad com pany to rehear a petition to rehear the appeal from the second jury trial. The first jury verdict was for $5,000, and the second $4,500, which is now to be collected. A special to the Charlotte Observer from Kernersville Tuesday night says that Tuesday morning. Lewis Carmi chael, a carpenter living at Kerners ville, killed his wife, attempted to kill his 12-year-old daughter and fatally shot himself through the brain, after cutting his throat. Carmichael cut his wife to death with a razor. There were no eye witnesses to the dreadful scene. Neighbors were attracted to the house by screams. While running to the house they met Mrs. Carmi chael staggering away from the house, a few steps out in the yard She was partially dressed and soon fell dead in a pool of her own blood. At this juncture shots fired from in side the house diverted the minds of the speechless and horrified neighbors to fearful anticipations of something tragic, which was found to be that Carmichael had shot and cut himself as above stated. The daughter is the only witness to the affair. Carmi chael was an habitual drunkard and has beaten and mistreated his wife often before.

PHYSICIAN’S GOOD LUCK. Dr. Hart’s Fortunate Experience of Special Interest to Many in Gaffney. The happiest man in New England today and one who is receiving con gratulations from his friends, is Dr. Philip Z. Hart, of Laconia, N. H. Probably no physician is better known in all parts of the United States than Dr. Hart, as he has been a great traveler and knows the best people wherever he has been. For years he has suffered with catarrh in its worst form. Although he resorted to the latest scientific treatment, and consulted many of his brother physicians, Dr. Hart finally said, “I might just as well have thrown my money in tho river for I grew worse and worse. It is really due to my wife’s good judg ment that I tried Hyomei.” The Doc tor, in his emphatic way added “Thank God that I did, for Hyomei cured me completely. My wife and I will swear that Hyomei cured me of the worst case of catarrh that ever existed. I used to cough constantly at night, and had a dropping in the throat, which kept me awake a great deal. I raised thick phlegm and was in a ho-riblo condition. However, I am entirely cured, solely through tho use of Hyomei.” The Gaffney Drug Co. are the local agents for Hyomei, the fa mous treatment which cures catarrh without stomach dosing.
