Swain and Vance London, two priso ners sentenced to a year each at the last term of the United States district court. Doth will be placed In the Fed eral prison in Atlanta to sei*ve their terms. Just because Elbert Johnson was drunk tfnd mad, Oscar Gordon says the former negfe drew his pistol and shot two other negroes in the sleeping shanty at the new reservoir on Paris mountain, in Greenville county, Wed nesday night. Om* negro was serious ly wounded in tin thigh. A warrant was sworn out for Johnson before Magistrate Stradley, and he is now in jail. Miss Nannie Rowland, of Greenville, fell from rhe rear platform of the South bound passenger train on the Charles- otn & Western Carolina Railway Fri day and fractured her left wrist bone. Miss Rowland was on her way to the oratorical contest at Greenwood, and had to change cars h» Laurens. When the train to Augusta started to make its shift to the sidetrack, in order to let ihe northbound train in on the main line, she thought it was pulling out fv»r Augusta and ran to it and in attempting to board it she fell. Ben Jones, a negro employed at the New r Winsdor Hotel in Greenville, was arrested at 1 o’clock Friday, charged with robbing one of the guests in the house. The money missed was $25, •composed of three gold pieces. It is alleged that on r&urning to her room after dinner, the guest heard some one scrambling over the railing on the veranda, and looking out saw Jones climb down to the roof of a store and from there to the yard below. Noth ing was thought of the occurrence un til the money was missed the follow ing morning, when suspicion fell on Jones, and his arrest followed, the ne gro being taken in custody by Officer Hatcher. While standing in the railway coach on the way from Charleston to Au gusta Tuesday morning. Mgr. Billy Earle, of Columbia baseball team, was struck inthe throat by a bullet fired by a wanton negro. The bullet would have probably caused death had it not struck his collar button, breaking its force. A flesh wound was inflicted and severe swelling and soreness caused by the shock. He could hardly speak, but was attended during the afternoon by a physician and was able to proceed to Macon. He will he laid up for a week or more, if complica tions are not caused. The pistol was fired by one of a crowd of apparently drunken negroes standing by the road way as the train was running past. J. 1. Coats, an employe at the Wood- side Mills, near Greenville, was struck on the head by an elevator in the mill at 5:30 o’clock Friday afternoon and severely injured. He lay in an unconscious condition for nearly half an hour. The wound was dressed later in the evening by Dr. Emmitt Hous ton. and while Coats Is gainfully hurt it is not thought that the blow will be followed by serious results. It is said that the man was on the second floor and was leaning over and looking down, when the eleva* >i struck him. The full force of the blow foil on the to]) of his skull. The operator stop ped the machine before it reached the floor. If he had not. Coats would have been mashed to death, or forced through the shaft to rhe bottom far below. At Lancaster Friday Magistrate Cas key dismissed the ten white men who had been brought before him charged with participating in the Kershaw lynching. Solicitor Henry then entered a nol pros in the case of the men whose names had been mentioned but who were not under arrest. No evi dence was submitted by the State. Several hundred people went from Ker shaw and business \yas practically sus pended at Kershaw and Heath Springs. The defendants present were: Mur- rel Truesdale. W. E. Belle, S. Frank Hough, S. W. Heath, John T. Stevens H. J. Gardner. Dock Belk, Steve L Gardner, Jr., John Holden Steve and W. Welch. The solicitor moved for a continuance until Wednesday on the ground of unpreparedness. Attorney Blakeney for the defendants resisted the continuance and demanded an im mediate examination. In attempting to cross the trench on Washington street in Greenville Wednesday evening, Mrs. R. h. Ken nedy, of that city, accidentally slipped and fell seven feet to the rocky bottom below . She was taken out with much difficulty and removed y her residence only a short distance irway.

All of the fctock and vehicles in the stable were saved by prompt work, and the Union Carriage Works, which had only been recently rebuilt, having been burned out in January, seemed for a while doomed, but through the heroic effons of J.
