John A. Leonard, lunatic, of Spar- tanburs county, about whom so m*ch has recently appeared in the papers, was carried to the asylum in Columbia Tuesday. There was a contention be tween the North and South Carolina asylum authorities as to which should take him in charge. Major John Jenkins died at his res idence in Charleston Tuesday. He was one of the most sterling of Southerners, one "of the most courtlj and chivalrous of Carolinians and one of the most faithful and fearless of Confederate soldiers. The remains of Matyr Jenkins were conveyed to Ed- isto Lsland for interment. Dr. Gill Wylie, president of the Ca tawba Power Company, was in Spar tanburg Tuesday looking after the prospect for supplying electricity to some of t he cotton mil s. There is so little loss in transmission that the cost for powe ■ delivered in Spartanbui g i will be only 5 per cent, more than at the electric plant. His company con trols power enough on the Catawba to. run all the cotton mills. Arthur McFadden shot, and killed George Burgess at Cade’s Monday night, a short while after dark. Both parties are negroes. A possee arrest ed the slayer and notified the sheriff, who has the prisoner in jail. A woman is said to have been the cause of the trouble, which has been brewing for some time. There were no eve fit nesses to the homicide, which McFad den denies. The grand jury in Darlington band ed in their final presentment Tuesday afternoon and. after finding the county affairs in good shape, made the follow ing presentment, which i.s ot much in terest to the people there and else where: “We present Pegram Dargan for aiding and abetting Robert Keith Dargan in taking his own life, by pro curing and giving to his brother, Rob ert Keith Dargan, carbolic acid and other drugs, with which he took his life on the 1 fth day of July, in Darlington. S. C. We offer as witness es J. N. Clanton, Dr. G. B, Edwards. J. S. Floyd and J. R Doyle” The work of purging the dispensary petitions- in Anderson, which has been under way for several weeks, has been completed. County Supervisor S. O. Jackson assured the central prohibi tion cbmmittee some time ago that he would he ready to order the elec tion when he was satisfied that the petitions contained the necesasry one- fourth of the qualified voters of the county. The committee has satisfied him on this point by actual count and the matter will he formally placed in his hands this week. The election will he ordered about the first of No vember. There was another daring piece of outlawry In Columbia when at 2 o’clock Wednesday morning Policeman Boone was assaulted at the corner of Divine and Huger streets in that citv. No particulars could be learned other than that the man fired one shot at the* policeman and tan. Policeman Boone pursued the fugitive down about the cotton compress and there lost the trail. The policeman emptied his pistol at the fleeing man. It could not be learned how close the man was to the policeman when the first shot was fired, but at the police headquarters it was supposed to have been au assault rather than a “hold up.” The court of sessions opened ip Aik en Monday morning, and the trial of the case against John Piper for mur der was begun. This homicide oc curred near Montmorenci in June last and aroused considerable interest at that time. The shooting occurred in front of a church and nearly 200 people were present. A large number of witnesses testified for the State and for the defendant, the witnesses for the State testifying that the defendant pushed from him Hartley, the deceased, and as he pushed him shot him. The witnesses for the defense testified that after a difficulty between Piper and a man named Turner, Hartley ran out and asked Piper to go home and took hold of him, and that while Hartley was trying to take the pistol from Piper It fired and hit Hartley. The jury found a verdict of guilty of man slaughter and the court sentenced Piper to five years in the penitentiary. Attacked by a Mob and beaten, in a labor riot, until cover ed with sores, a Chicago street car conductor applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and was soon sound and well. “I use It in my family,” writes G.

Vote of Over Five to One Against the Dispensary. Yorkville, Sept. 26.—The dispensary election passed off quietly in the town and county. A very small vote was cast, the people being busy with their crops. t There was very little pulling for votes, and each voter seemed to have made up his mind and voted to suit himself. Mr. J. C. Wilborn was quite active for the dispensary and The New Era people also have been and were today anxious for the result to be in favor of the Great Moral Insti tution. York county is composed of citizens who are not to he bulldozed into anything and do the right every time. Senator Brice is vindicated by his county and next year may be asked to take the driver’s seat on the band wagon and the faithful will be asked to blow the leading horns while the small politicians can trot in the rear and beat their little tom toms. Now the trustees of Clinton college can move their college here where they will have every natural advant age and no liquor to tempt their boys.

Sept. 26.—By a majority of practically six to one the voters of 5 ork county said at the ballot box to day that the dispensary at Yorkville must he closed. At eighteen of the nineteen precincts, 831 votes were polled, of which 708 were against the dispensary and 131 for the dispensary. Piedmont precinct not heard from ordinarily polls fifteen votes in a pii- mary. While the vote is much smaller than was expected, still the prohibitionists are entirely satisfied with the result. The farmers are exceedingly busy gathering their crops and hundreds of them did not take time to vote be cause they considered the result a foregone conclusion. As many as fif ty persons were denied the privilege (if voting at Yorkville because of de fects in their registration certificates due to carelessness on the part of the supervisors of registration. Senator Tillman came here two weeks ago and made an earnest plea for the dispensary, but it happened, as in other counties where he appear ed, that the people repudiated the sys tem. The overwhelming vote against the dispensary in York today was greater than in any other county. Ravenna Locals. Ravenna, Sept. 26.—Cotton is open ins rapidly and if it continues hot and dry our farmers will soon be through gathemg the “fleecy staple.” Quite a number of our young people attended the baptizing at White Plains Sunday. Messrs. J. B. Brown, H. D. Mathis and J. H. Lipscomb have had their mowers running for the last few days mowing pea vines and crab grass where it will do to cut. Mr. Charles Mabry, of Asbury, was among his friends at Ravenna last Sunday. Mr. Fernando Horn had a good horse to die one day recently.

Bonner, of Gaffney, was a visitor at the Ravenna Sunday school last Sunday afternoon. Our friend. Mr. Charles Pettit, has not been picking cotton this season, but has entered the graded school at Pacolet Mills. Mrs. C. E. Kitchens has a nice sup ply of figs this season.
