Orangeburg, July 15.—Several par
ties went from this place yesterday
afternoon to Millican’s in the lower
part of the county, to see Mr. P. Leon

wound in his side and a number of
small shot are scattered over his
body.
It seems that last Monday evening
he hail a dispute with Flwin Smith,
a white tenant on his place, and some
words passed between them. Smith
shot Cannon in the leg with a shot
gun. Cannon returned to his house,
about two hundred yards from the
house occupied by Smith and his fam
ily, and got his shotgun. With this
gun Mr. Cannon started to return to
the house of Smith, when he was shot
in the side by Smith from behind a
tree or nearby house.

His body was found beneath the ca

laborers were burt, but not enough
to incapacitate them from work. The
main line was blocked for about an
hour and some damage was done to
the cars and track.
The coroner was notified and lost
no time in getting to the scene of the
collision. He empanelled a jury,
which viewed the body and then ad
journed until 10 o’clock this morning,
when the testimony will lie taken and
a verdict rendered.
Thomas Haelson. who was killed,
is originally from Kingstree, and has
been working for the Atlantic Coast
Line for a number of years. He was
considered trustworthy and had the
esteem of his employees. The body
was shipped to Kingstree yesterday
afternoon and turned over to the rel
atives of the dead man.
The steam shovel had only arrived
in the city Friday and the trip yester
day was the first one made on this
division of the road.

Asheville, July 15.—It was learned
here this afternoon that Nannie Gib

who several months ago saved a mix
ed freight and passenger train from
destruction noa” Mud Cut. for which
she was liberally rewarded by the
passengers, and for whose education
at the Normal and Collegiate Insti

has appropriated a sum of money,
was married at Old Fort, McDowell

is said, went to the Gibson home, got
the bride-elect and, going to a preach
er. they were married. Mr. Gibson,
learning of the affair, went after the
couple and found them after the cere

his daughter from her husband and
she accompanied him home. It could

annulled. It is said that the South
ern still intends educating the saver

Man Parris is a regular hustler. He
keeps Thomson’s mill and also keeps
soda water, potted ham. sardines etc.,
to sell at the mill. The other day a
darky asked him how he sold his
soda water. “Five cents a bottle,” re
plied Man. "Oh, pshaw,” said the
darkey, “that’s too high.” Man picked
up three bottles and said to him.
“Well, give me fifteen cents and take
three bottles, then.” The darky
said, “Now you are talking right;”
and with that handed him fifteen
cents and took the three bottles. An
other darky came in and asked the
price of tobacco. “Eight cants a
plug,” said Man. “I can’t give that,”
said the darkey. “I usually sell them
three plugs for a quarter when a man
wants that much.” said Man. “Well,
I’ll take three plugs,” and with that
handed him a qnarter, picked up the
tobacco and walked out. Another cus
tomer wanted a box of potted ham and
toms of fever. Mrs. W. T. Osment is
