He says that he had nothing whatever with which to defend him self from the assault of the conductor and that he retreated about the length of the engine, then he picked up from the ground an iron, and threw it at the conductor, hitting him on the head. The conductor was killed by this blow, his skull being crushed. FIRE IN BLACKSBURG. Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Reader*. Snow fell at Newberry Thursday af ternoon rapidly for a few minutes. The flakes were very large, but melt ed rapidly. The older residents there remember only one instance before where snow fell in April. Thomas Ross, of Greenville, who injured Thomas Austin so badly with a rake that Austin died, is released on bond. Babe Gilmer, who stabbed Engineer Wilson of The Daily News plant, in Greenville, is also out on bond. Wilson’s condition continues serious. Fire destroyed a box car contain ing about 80 bales of compressed cot ton at the Spartanburg junction Wed nesday night. The car was standing on the transfer track awaiting ship ment to the Union cotton mills, to which destination it was assigned. The car was blazing all over when the fire was discovered, about 11 P- m. The origin of the lire is supposed to be incendiary, but there are no clues. Two Barns Burned and Several Resi dences Endangered. Blacksburg, April 6 — Blacksburg came near being the scene of quite a conflagration yesterday afternoon, and would have been but for the timely and heroic efforts of citizens, both white and black. The barns on the premises of Mrs. M. L. Lipscomb and Dr. Wm. Anderson, with the contents of the latter, including a carriage, wagon, fodder, corn, cotton seed and peas, were entirely consumed. The fire originated in the Lipscomb barn from some live ashes that were emptied nearby and both buildings being two-story, the wind high and strong and everything dry, large pieces of burning timber were carried quite a distance, in one instance set ting fire to a dwelling nearly two square distant. The residences of Dr. Anderson, Hon. B. J. Gold and Mrs. Martha K. Moore were all fired from the flying sparks but by well directed efforts the fire was extinguished be fore it could get headway. The Lip scomb barn was unoccupied, loss about $150. Dr. Anderson’s loss is about $500. No insurance on either building. VOTE ON THE DISPENSARY. A Tin Wedding.

The 14th and it is prabable that he will go v * tVlis . to the gallows that day. An effort was made to obtain the appointment of a commission to examine into his san ity, but this effort has not been en couraged by the solicitor, Capt. Geo. Bell Timmerman, and it is probable that Parr’s execution will not be stayed. About 12.30 o’clock Thursday Thos. J. Jackson, son of J. F. Jackson, a cosy and comfortable home of this popular couple was beautifully decor ated and brilliantly lighted and about 50 of their many friends gathered there to congratulate them upon hav ing reached so important a period in their lives under such auspicious cir cumstances. The evening was spent in delightful social intercourse and when the guests were invited to the Petitions Being Circulated for Elec tions in South Carolina Counties. (Special to Charlotte Observer.) Columbia, S. C., April 9.—Petitions for elections to vote on the question of abolishing dispensaries in favor of prohibition are now being circulated in three counties—Spartanburg, Union and Pickens—and if all these follow the example of Cherokee, there will be six dry counties in the State, with others to follow in the near future! Greenw(X)d and Marlboro having al ways resisted the dispensaries. Al though the gross receipts at the .cen tral dispensary for the - quarter Just ended show a quarter of a million in crease and indicate that the business for the year will about reach the four- million mark, almost double that of two years ago, the prohibition senti ment is growing to an extent; at least it is gaining ground in those counties which in the beginning were most pas sionate in their advocacy of the sys tem. Information comes from Pickens that the desired 25 per cent, of free holders’ signatures have been secured and that only the supervisor’s action in calling the election delays the bat tle of the ballets and the consum mation of the crusade which the preachers have been leading against the South Carolina dispensary. The anti-dispensary people will also win out in Spartanburg, it is felt here in asmuch as this has always been a stronghold of Methodist and Baptist greatest mill population in the influences. There is the county of the State, and the managements of these industries will gladly welcome the change, as whiskey makes inefficient and unreliable help. Spartanburg has never had any dispensaries outside of the town of Spartanburg, although there are a number of other big towns in the county, almost exclusive ly mill towns. Union, also the home of many big cotton mills, will reject prohibition and retain its dispensaries, it is thought. There has been some talk of a petition in Lee county, but jt is said that this has been with drawn. These elections will be held under the terms of the Brice act, which com pels the county voting out its dispen saries to forfeit its share in the dis- THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE NORTH CAROLINA.

A little Greek boy, about 12 years of age, whose name could not be as certained, and probably could not have been spelled correctly had it been secured, was arrested at the Southern depot in Spartanburg Thurs day morning directly after the ar rival of the train from Union. The boy was held on advices from the Union authorities. Ho was employed at the store of a Greek, his kinsman, in that city and decided to take a trip to Lowell, Mass., so he appro- priatrfl a sum of money belonging to his kinsman, went to the Union ticket office and bought a ticket to Lowell.

This Brice act the last legislature re sisted a dozen or more efforts to amend, refusing to eliminate the tax feature and refusing to apply its pro visions to a smaller unit than a coun ty. The strongest advocates of all schemes to facilitate the work of coun ties rejecting their dispensaries were the members from Cherokee, which six months before blazed the way out. and was entirely satisfied with the result.

Of those casting their ballots at Thursday’s election in Asheville ap proximately three-1'mrths piled up an overwhelming majority against the establishment of a municipal dispen sary in that city to replace the open saloons. The size of the majority was a surprise to the leaders of earn side. The actual majority was 529. The campaign was one of the most bitter in the history of that city. The loss of the prohibition vote. Upon which th(* dispensary had counted, proved a death blow. Mrs. Llpe, wife of Mr. Robert Lipe, an employe of the Statesville Cotton Mill, was found dead in bed at her home at Statesville Thursday morn ing about 4 o’clock. The deceased was up about 11 o’clock Wednesday night waiting upon her twin babies, about 3 months of age, and at that time she was apparently as well as she had been since their birth; Mr. Lipe waked about 4 o’clock and called to her, but received no answer, and he soon discovered that she was dead.

There was a very heavy rain and electrical storm at Greensboro Wed nesday afternoon, doing considerable damage to telephone and other elec tric wi#es. The Catholic church was struck by lightning and the electric fluid seemed to have richoceted all about the building, finally passing to a street railway transmitter nparby and being knocked out. It jumped several places on the roof, taking out patches of slate, knocked spots of weather-boarding off two walls, tore out parts of two of the towers, split, the plaster under the roof of a porch, jumping to its magnet from this point. Mr. Henry W. Barrow died suddenly at 7 o’clock Wednesday evening at his homo at Winston, at the age of 77 years. Mr. Barrow, with his wife and daughter, Miss Florence, had just sat down at the supper table when the aged husband and father threw his hand upon his breast and exclaimed: “Oh how my throat hurts.” He started to get up when Mrs. Barrow realized that her husband’s condition was serious.
