Act into a quarrel with one Willie
End opened fire, killing a small negro
1 oy about 10 years old, and probably
1 itally shot Willie Gardner. Magis
trate George committed Holmes to jail
for trial at the next term of court.
A special from Pickens says that
W. R. Taylor, town marshal at Cal
houn, was dangerously and perhaps
fatally injured Wednesday atfprnoon
while in the discharge of his duty. It
is claimed that while Taylor was en
deavoring to arrest a young man
Baker the father approached and
struck the marshal on the head with
a hoe, fracturing his skull.
A sensation was sprung Tuesday
upon tho* arrest of four prominent bus
iness men of Kershaw, charged with
the lynching of J. T. Morri.-on, a white
man, which occurred in that town on
October 2 of last year. T ire * other
men were arrested in Lancaster a few
days ago in ci nneciion wit’i the same
case. A preliminary trial will bo given
the men now under arrest at Lancas
ter on Friday next.
The inquest held over the dead
body of Abe McDaniel, .the old negro
who was killed by a mob last. Satur
day night in Sullivan township, 14
miles west of Laurens, was held yes
terday. The daughter of the dea^d man
claimed to have recognized P. H. Bald
win, a white man and near neighbor,
as one of the mob. They recognized
no one else and the coroner’s jury
found a verdict accordingly. Baldwin
was arrested and is now in the hands
of the sheriff.
Elliott Robinson, better known in
the court and police circles as Early
Bird, succeeded in making his escape
from the Greenville county chain gang
at 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon and
he has not been heard from since.
The gang was doing road work near
Cunningham’s store. It was found
that he had succeeded in cutting one
of his shackles the preceding night
and this was not noticed by the of
ficers in charge when they inspected
the prisoners during the morning.
Assistant Chief of Police Weeks
shot at Willie Saxton, colored, while
on the colored passenger coach of
the Columbia train Sunday afternoon.
Saxton, it is said, was under the in
fluence of whiskey and was pushing
his way into the coach, preventing
other passengers from gettingg off.
Chief Weeks was called and used his
stick. Saxton, Mr. Weeks says,
slashed at him twice with a knife ami
Weeks fell from the car platform. He
then fired at Saxton, but the bullet
went wild and hit no one.
There are no new developments in
the case against Dr. Kenyon V. Mil
lard, who was committed to jail in
Orangeburg by Magistrate Brunson
last week on a charge of bigamy. He
still remains in jail, having been una
ble to secure the required bond, which
was fixed at $500. The preliminary
hearing has been set for Thursday,
the 27th, and there is every pioba-
bility that it will be aeld on that
date. The question wii. bo whether
or not the prosecution can make
out a sufficiently stro”'; case to hold
him for trial; othorwk • the case will
be discharged and the defendant re
leased from custody.
Mr. Jim McCullogh, a young man of
Anderson county, about 20 or 27 years
of age, committed suicide late Friday
afternoon by shooting himself in the
heart with a shotgun. It is not known
that he ever intimated tlmi he had
any intention of killing himself, al
though ho said some time ago that he
would just as soon be dead as alive.
He was sufterihg at the time with
rheumatism and for some time the
family circle has not been as pleas
ant as it might have Ik en and it is
thought that for these reasons he com
mitted the rush act. He went out in
the yard and placed the un at Lust
the garden fence and called his br til
er who was working nearby, an;! then
fired the fatal shot.
Cheated Death.
Kidney trouble often ends fatally,
but by choosing the right medicine,
E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Iowa,
cheated death. He says: “Two
years ago I had Kidney Troubles,
which caused me great pain, suffering
and anxiety but I took Electric Bit
ters, which effected a complete cure.
I have also found them of great bene-
fit In general debility and nerve
t trouble, and keep them constantly on

Report of Condition of Crops Through-
out the State.
Columbia, April 25.—The week end
ing Monday morning, April 24th, av
eraged much cooler than usual, espec
ially during the first three days .with
slowly rising temperatures until Sat
urday, when maxima above 80 degrees
were recorded in the southeastern
counties. The lowest for the week
was 28 degrees at Greenville on the
18th. The week closed with temper
atures considerably below normal.
There were general showers and
thunderstorms on the 21st, with bail
in the central counties, hut the ’•ainfall
was very light in the extreme postern
and the southeastern counties v^ere
the need of rain is indicated. There
was no damage by hall.
Full reports on the damage to fruit,
vegetables and field crops by the
freeze and frost of the 17th and 18th
indicate severe and extensive injury
to poaches, apples, plums and other
fruits in the western counties, espec
ially on low lands where the destruct
ion was practically total; in the cen
tral counties and in the commercial
peach raising districts the damage
was serious but no total destruction
at any point; while in the eastern
and southeastern counties the damage
was slight. Garden truck was large
ly destroyed in all sections, except in
in the coast truck region, where the
damage was not material, although
thin ice was noted to within about
twenty miles of the coast. Corn that
was up was nearly all cut to the
ground, hut only a small portion of it
>>. ill need to be replanted, as it is
thought that it will grow again. Very
Pttle of the cotton that was up es
caped, and practically all will have to
be replanted: considerable has al
ready been replanted. A few reports
indicate that wheat and oats were In-
jured, though the large majority re
port both grains all right and still
promising. Tobacco that was set out
was only slightly damaged. Water
melons, cucumbers and like field
crops were practically all destroyed
and will be replanted. Many of the
correspondents state that it is too
early to determine the extent of the
damage to peaches, as the fruit is
dropping rapidly.
The weather was generally favor-
able for farm work and rapid prog
ress was made in cotton planting. It
was too cool for favorable germina
tion and growth. Corn looks yellow
and sickly. Early corn is being cul
tivated. Cut worms are numerous in
many places. Transplanting tobacco
was delayed by the cool weather, but
towards the close of the week made
fair progress. Cotton planting is
nearly finished in the eastern parts
of the State and about half finished
in the western part,' where the season
Is later than usual.

UNION HIT BY A CYCLONE.
Cotton Mill Was Damaged and Two
Churches Demolished.
Union, April 26.—About 6 o’clock
this afternoon a terrific storm raged
here for ten minutes and in that short
time great damage was wrought. That
many lives were not lost is miracu
lous. The only person injured was
John Campbell, aged 20, an operative
of the Union Cotton Mills, who was
badly bruised about the forehead ant!
hurt intornaly by falling walls.
Tho greatest damage was done to
the spinning room on the fourth floor
of Union Mill No. 2, the southern
end of which was blown in for over
100 feet and a big strip of roof torn
off. The many children working there
only escaped with their lives by flee
ing when they saw the windows be
ginning to fall in. Eight sj)Inning
frames were injured. The damage
is estimated at $5,000.
In the heart of town the Bethel A.
M. E. church, valued at $1,500, and the
Presbyterian church, worth $1,000
in the eastern suburbs at Monarch, a
mile away, wore both totally demol
ished.
Another colored church, the Ben
Jennie, was lifted from Its pillars, but
not badly damaged. Many small
buildings and fences were destroyed,
although the principal buildings, resi
dences and other large mills of the
city were uninjured. No* damag" was
done at Buffalo.

Gaffney Sends a Delegation to Dis
cuss the Building of An Electric
Railway from Asheville to This City.
Monday morning a delegation com
posed of Senator T. B. Butler, Dr. W.
C. Hamrick, Messrs. A. N. Wood, D.
C. Ross, L. U. Campbell and Ed. H.
DeCamp went to Hendersonville as
representatives of Gaffney and Chero
kee county to a convention in the in
terest of a proposed electric railway
from Gaffney to Asheville, via Hen
rietta, Rutherfordton, Chimney Rock
and Hendersonville. The delegation
arrived at Hendersonville about one
o’clock. It was met at the depot and
driven to the hotel. Without waiting
for dinner It repaired at once to the
opera house, where the meeting was
to take place.
The meeting was opened by Chair
man J. W. Wofford in a very appro
priate speech. Mr. Wofford is a for
mer South Carolinian, having once
resided in Spartanburg. He referred
to a political race in which he was
engaged while living la Spartanburg,
and said he would always have a
warm spot in his breast for Gaffney
(which was then in Spartanburg coun
ty) as she came to the rescue and
saved him the nomination by about
five votes. He gave the entire dele
gation a warm greeting, but was es
pecially cordial to Gaffney. He then
Introduced Mayor Williams, of Hen
dersonville, who made the address of
welcome.
Senator T. B. Butler was then in
troduced. Mr. Butler made a splen
did speech, in which he set forth the
advantages of Gaffney and the possi
bilities yet undeveloped. He assured
the convention that if the people of
Henderson, Rutherford and Polk coun
ties would come to the North Carolina
line, Gaffney and Cherokee would be
there; and then the people of Gaff
ney would be able to conduct business
In this city and sleep in Henderson
ville at night. Later on, some one
made a speech setting forth the
glories of Hendersonville as a sum
mer resort, and Mr. Butler assured
them that Gaffney had been a summer
resort before Hendersonville was dis
covered. His remarks were entirely
appropriate and he acted well the
spokesman of his delegation.
Mr. Smith, of Hendersonville, then
stated the object of the meeting, ex
plained the conditions and scope of
the charter Issued by the State of
North Carolina, and urged that the
work be commenced at once and push
ed to a successful termination.
Judge Ewart, who is perhaps the
most Interested man ’n the proposed
road, made a capltr.’, businesslike
speech, confining himself to statistics.
He assured the convention that capi
tal was waiting and anxious to help
if the people only showed an inclina
tion to help themselves. He had
just returned from Cincinnati, where
ho had been in the interest of the
road, and had met with great en
couragement. He predicted that, there
would be an inter-urban line all the
way from Charlotte to Atlanta within
the next. five.years.
Mr. Shipman, of Columbus, spoke
for tho Polk county delegation. We
have heard of a ship without a rud
der, but hasten to assure the Polk
county folks that their ship was man-
naged by an aide seaman. In a most
pleasing and attractive manner he
told of the undeveloped resources of
Polk county and the great advantages
to accrue from the construction of
the road. His county had once voted
$100,000 for a road, but failed ,to get
it, and was as anxious now as ever.
Ft. needed the road worse than any
body else because Columbus, the
county seat, was without railroad ac
commodation.
Mr. Jerome Freeman, of Chimney
Rod', made a vigorous speech in be
half of the proposed line. He declar
ed that Hendersonville, Asheville and
the thriving city of Gaffney wore by
ro means the biggest things alqpg the
line, but that Chimney Rock could
give the road more business than any
two of the other places mentioned.
“Why,’” said he, “if you come by
Chimney Rock you will go through a
vast undeveloped limber country that
can supply a car load of timber every
day for twenty years.” At the con
clusion of his speech, Mr. Freeman
offered a resolution to the effect that
an agent be appointed to solicit sub
scriptions to the road.
A gentleman from Buncombe
(whose name we did not catch), made
a speech assuring the delegation that
Buncombe county could be relied up
on to do her full duty.
At. this junction the Gaffney dele
gation retired to the hotel for din
ner; bin lo! and behold! the genial
clerk with the hilliard-ball head, who
had promised to keep dinner for us,
explained that he had kept it until
• ••0 and as we had not come for It
ho had concluded we didn’t want It.
A portion of tho delegation feasted on
crackers and cheese obtained at a
near by grocery, while the more re
ligiously inclined watched the. street
services of the Holiness people until
train time. All in all, it was a good
outing for the delegation, and we
hope it may prove a profitable one for
the community.

The Spencer wrecking crew re -

Statesville, where It had been called
on account of a freight wreck which
occurred near that place Monday
night. It is leame’d that thirteen cars
of west-bound freight No. 8G were de
railed on account of a broken wheel.
Three of the cars were loaded with
lumber and one with buggies, the
latter being badly damaged. No one
is reported to have been hurt in the

o’clock. The house, which was located
about five miles from Charlotte on
Mr. Moore’s farm in Crab Orchard
township, was occupied by a Mr. Hig
gins and family. At the time of the
fire the entire family was away from
home at work in the field, and the
house, along with all its contents, was
completely destroyed. It Is thought
the fire originated from a defective
stove flue in the cook room. Mr. Moore
stated that his loss would be about
$800. He carried no insurance.
Oscar Smith, a young boy of about
17 years, and son of Mr. Sid Smith,
was killed at a saw mill about a mile

the boy was helping with the work.
Mr. Smith was at the saw and was
sawing slats. A piece of timber that
was defective was being sawed when
a part of it about three feet long flew
off from the saw and grazed the
shoulder of a boy standing near and
struck Oscar Smith under the left
breast. It came with such force as
to break several ribs and cause intern
al injuries, from which he died in
about thirty minutes. He regained
consciousness for only a few mo
