Clerk of Court Parrott, of Sumter,
received the remittitur in the case of
George W. Murray Tuesday, but it
has not been served, as Murry is not
in Sumter. It is rumored that Mur
ray has gone to Canada, but the rumor
has not been confirmed. A few days
ago a deed of trust from Murray to
Marion Moise, his attorney in the
case, to all his property, was placed
on record.
A young white man was arrested
in Spartanburg Friday by the police
on the charge of obtaining money un
der false pretenses. It is said that
he has succeeded in securing money
from several citizens by false repre
sentation. Several weeks ago he was
arrested in that city on a similar
charge, but succeeded in settling the
case by making good the sum of
money. It is learned that he Is also
wanted in Columbia.
A dispatch from Laurens Monday
says: This morning shortly after
3 o’clock the Laurens roller mill, locat
ed on East Main street, was swept
away by fire, which is supposed to
have originated in the engine room
When discovered the entire building
wan enveloped in flames, which, fan
ned by the prevailing gale, made quick
work of the plant. The mill was
built by Messrs. J. S. Machen and
H. R. Martin seven years ago at a
cost of about $5,000. It was a well
equipped plant and was a notable suc
cess.
Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, of the
United States Circuit Court in Ashe
ville, Tuesday dismissed the man
damus proceedings brought by J. G
Howell, formerly the dispenser o!'
Union county against the board of
control of that county to reinstate
■him in the office of dispenser, on the
ground that the court had no jurisdic
tion. The opinion stated that the
court had the power to issue this
form of relief only as an ancillary rem
edy. Judge Pritchard rendered his
decision on this ground alone and
did not consider the merits of the
case. The case involved the consti
tutionality of the Brice dispensary
bill of this State.
Joe Brown, colored, was shot anc,
killed at Woodruff Monday afternoon
about 3 o'clock by Policeman Fred
Wright. The killing caused much
excitement and the tragedy was the
sole topic of conversation that after
noon and Monday night. According
to information received from Wood
ruff next morning Brown was on the
streets in a drunken condition anti
creating a disturbance. Policeman
Wright appeared on the scene ant
undertook to arrest the negro and car
ry him to the guard house. Brown
resisted arrest and made a vicious
attack upon the officer with a drawn
knife. Fearing th^t Brown in his
drunken condition would inflict se
rious bodily harm or perhaps take his
life, Officer Wright drew his pistol
and shot him. The ball took effect
in a vital spot and Brown died within
a short time.

Thos. S. Austin, Mgr. of the “Repub

wife, for female trouble, “Instead,
he says, “we concluded to try Elec

sick, she could hardly leave her bed,
and five (5) physicians had failed to
relieve her. After taking Electric Bit

AT THE STAR THEATRE.
Two Splendid Attractions—The Beg
gar Prince and Humpty Dumpty.
The manager of the Star Theatre
1b making strenuous efforts to secure
a better class of attractions for this
place. With this object in view he
has written several letters to points
where the Beggar Price Opera Co. had
been. The following is in reply to
a letter addressed to Abbeville:
Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 31, 1905.
E. H. DeCamp,
Manager Onera House

Beggar Prince Opera Company
splendid performance. Recommended
highly.

Ed. H. DeCamp,
Mgr. Opera House, Gaifney, S. C.
Beggar Prince Opera Company gave
fine performance. We recommend
highly.
Evans & Sharp,
Mrgs. Opera House.
“The Beggar Prince’’ is a refresh
ing comic opera and combines all the
elements of a genuine entertainment.
An interesting story hinging on the
trial and tribulations of the Beggar
Prince and alHmnding in catchy mu
sic, pretty dances and witty dialogue,
seems to introduce a capable com
pany of which Miss Etta Merris, the
clever comedienne, is a leading mem
ber. There is no villain, no crime,
no suggestions of evil—just fun ana
plenty of it. A newspaper man after
witnessing a performance of this play
remarked. “It leaves you with a
pleasing taste in your mouth and a
feeling of happiness and good will to
all mankind.” At the Star Theatre
tonight (Friday).
Next Wednesday night comes Geo.
H. Adams’ Humpty Dumpty. We saw
this show thirty years ago, and if it
is as good today as it was then it Is
well worth the money. An advance
notice says:
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall:
Not all the king’s horses
Nor all the king’s men
Could put Humpty Dumpty back again.”
How familiar the above lines; what
memories they conjure up: what dear,
faces they bring before - ur eyes. The
mother’s whispered song to still our
childish petulance or to draw our in
fant minds from our childish sorrows.
“Humpty Dumpty” with all attract
iveness, including little Goody Two
Shoes, Boy Blue, Old One-Two and
the good fairy, and not forgetting his
Satanic Majesty, together with the
beautiful Columbine and the agile
Harlequin, amid scenic beauty of daz
zling magnificence and interspersed
with a potpourri of vaudeville, comic
opera and pantomime, all rich in vis
ual effects and presented with all the
detail of grand, spectacular produc
tion. will be at the Star Theatre Wed-
neday night November 8th.
The cast is most efficient and is
headed by that inimitable pantomi-
mist and children’s favorite, George
H. Adams, whose personation of the
funny, mischievous village tease is
one of the best conceptions of the
part that has ever graced the boards
of the stage of Europe or America.
Mr. Adams is a consummate master
of facil expression, in fact, he “talks
with his face.”
The most noted of the vaudeville
acts presented will be that entitled
“Eve,” or the birth of woman out of
nothing, or air or space, or the sud
den consolidation of minute particles,
making the while, through instant
transformation, into a perfect, breath
ing woman of surprising beauty of
form and face. The combination of
“Humpty Dumpty” is the strongest
ever gotten together, and the whole
is given under the management of
Ernest Cooke, late of Buffalo Bill’s
show.
An Expert Tailor.
R. F. Dean, an experienced tailor
of New York, is now associated with
W. H. Robinson of this city. Mr.
Dean is an expert in his line, and the
firm will add the making of pants to
their pressing and cleaning business.
They occupy rooms in the Settlemyer
building, upstairs: and will at all
times carry a complete line of sam
ples of the latest fabrics and styles
in men’s wear.
Son Lost Mother.
“Consumption runs in our family,
and through it I lost my Mother,”
writes E. B. Reid, of Harmony, Me.
“For the past five years, however, on
the slightest sign of a Cough or Cold,
I have taken Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, which has saved me
from serious lung troubles.” His
mother’s death was a sad loss for
Mr. Reid, but he learned that lung

Gaffney, Nov. 1.—The weather has
been somewhat against your corres
pondent for the past few days, but
he has been going and keeping in
touch with his business, notwithstand
ing a slight indispositon. He finds
himself in teh hustling, busy town of
Gaffney this a. ra. while people from
all the different sections are here on
business of various kinds and, espe
cially are the farmers jubilant over
the seeming prospects of a steady
rise in the price of cotton.
Yesterday a somewhat funny inci
dent happened which we might men
tion withuot danger of getting a fight
on our hands, as long as we keep the
names of the parties out of print.
To one of our old neighbors we were
showing the prospectus of our Gor
don book who seemed a little inclin
ed to buy it. When he began to in
quire into the merit of the work,
not wishing to lose the opportunity
to give him a favorable opinion of the
work, we cited him to an old veteran
—one of the best soldiers in Lee s
army—who had bought and read the
book. Looking round he saw the
man standing on the sidewalk and
calling to him said: “This man has
been showing me a copy of a book he
is selling and says he will leave it
to you to say as to whether the book
is what it claims to be.”
The old veteran raised himself to
his full statue—the fire of the six
ties flashing in his eyes at the men
tion of John B. Gordon’s name, and
with significant emphasis, “Well, it’s
all right. It is all he claims it to be,
for 1 was there and in many of the
battles it speaks of. and you may re
ly upon its truthfulness.”
“You have read it, have you?” In
quired our friend. “Yes,” said the
other. “Then,” continued our friend,
“you can loan me your copy and I
needn’t buy one.”
We visited the Limestone Mills
yesterday and spent the night with
our former neighbor, Mr. John Spen
cer, where we were most hospitably
entertained by that gentleman and his
wife. They have a beautiful mill
town there and are getting along
contentedly, it seems. We found many
acquaintances there whom we bad
not seen for many years. It’s always
a pleasure to meet them.
One of our lower Cherokee neigh
bors set last Saturday to run away and
get married. He left home in the
morning, early, diked up for the oc
casion and when last seen—about 9
or 10 o’clock p. m., he was down on
his all-fours crawling about in the
road. When asked where he had
been and how he came to be in that
condition, he replied: “I have be* -
here all day and haven’t seen a sin
person.”
The fact is John Barleycorn bad
got hold of him and ftit an end to the
runaway business, and doubtless the
girl is a wiser and happier one in
consequence of John’s interference in
her connubial business affairs. We
take that for granted any way. It’s
a very bad something there is no
good in.
There was considerable excitement
on Main street in Columbia Friday
night and an attempt in a way to
lynch a negro who had knocked down
or rudely jostled a lady at the corner
of Main and Plain streets in that city.
The man. whose name is Isaac Bryan,
was chased and caught and then
turned over to two policemen. The
officers took him at once to the Postal
Telegraph Company’s building where
they telephoned for the patrol wagon.
The wagon did not come at once and
a big crowd quickly gathered around
the building and cries of “Lynch him”
were heard. The sheriff of Richland
happened along about this time and
made his way into the building. The
officers carried their prisoner out
through the rear of the building and
after getting on Washington street
got him in a hack and carried him to
the jail.
The little sleet over in Texas
which has evidently made some im
pression on the cotton market, will
be thought of again when the blizzard
that is heading that way strikes Wall
street. Behind the pickers the cottou
fields are black. No more of it is to
open in many places.
From what we see and know of
the farmers of this county, they are
in better condition financially than they
have been in twenty-five years, if ever
before. Most of them have some
money ahead and the greater part
of R is in the banks. The fact is
that if robbers and safe crackers were
to start out to make a living out ol
their business they would have to
take their rations with them. The
day of keeping money hid under
hearth rocks or sewed np in bed
ticks to make it safe is past. Pet,
nle who own money have found that
the kank is the only absolutely safe
place it can be kept.
We have only heard one man or
■ •von heard of one man who has
urg«‘il his creditors to sell their cot
ton at less than 91-2 cents in order
that he might get his money and that,
too, before the money was really due.
Such a creature isn’t much man—a
noor excuse—an enemy to his country
ts long as he can satisfy his greed.
Such a being is as soulless as a P
gal tiger and be ought to be execrat
ed as a demon in human form. No
wonder Solomon said “The tender
mercies of the wicked are cruel.”
A more potent truth won’t be found
in the Bible.
J. L. S.
COL. FARROW DEAD.
Died Wednesday at H>« Home in Co
lumbia.
The sad intelligence reached Gaff
ney yesterday morning of the death
of Col. T. Stobo Farrow, which occur
red at his home in Columbia Wednes
day night.
Col. Farrow was one of the land
marks of this section of the country,
and was quite well known in Gaffney
where he once resided, with bis fami
ly for several years, hi. children at
tending school at Limestone College
under Prof. Griffith. He spent a good
portion of his life in the newspaper
business, and was at one time editor
of tho Spartanburg Herald, when it
was a weekly; and he also conducted
a paper in Gaffney for some time.
In 1899 Col. Farrow married Mrs.
E. A. Ellerbee in this city, and later
moved to Cheraw, where he engaged
in newspaper work. After remaining
in Cheraw for two years, he went to
Columbia and there began writing a
history of the reconstruction .lays in
South Carolina, which he had almost
completed before bis life-work ended
forever. In the meantime, his health
began to fail and he went to Porter
Springs, in Georgia, to recuperate;
but he continued to decline, and fin
ally returned to his home in Colum
bia. where the end came Wislnesday
night.
The remains were taken to Spar
tanburg. the old home of the deceas
ed, and there laid to rest yesterday.
Col. Farrow was nearly eighty
"ears old at the time of his death.
His long life was full of usefulness,
and he will long be held in loving re
membrance by everyone who had
the pleasure of knowing him.
COWARDLY WORK.
Unknown Persons Attack Home of an
Inoffensive Colored Man.
Tuesday night about 11 o’clock
some unknown persons, supposed to
be colored, went to the home of Wash
Lipscomb, a respectable colored man
who lives a few miles above Gaffney,
and shot into his house several times
with shotguns, and bombarded it
with rocks. After shooting at the
house, the miscreants went to the
barn, took out the buggy, which was
a new one, and hacked it to pieces
with axes and knives.
Wash and his family were in the
house at the time of the shooting,
but done of them was injured. There
is no clue, as yet, to the perpetrators
of this foul and cowardly deed: but
Sheriff Thomas is at work upon the
case, and the good people of the com
munity, as well as all law-abiding
citizens, hope that he will succeed in
detecting and capturing everyone of
the scamps engaged in the unwarrant
ed attack upon a peaceable colored
man and his family.
Young-Stacy.
Last evening, at the Baptist parson-
•’ e, in the presence of a few loved
S Mr. Douglas A. Young and Miss
.<*y Beatrice Stacy were married.
Dr. Simms, in his usual graceful
manner, performed the ceremony,
making it very impressive.
The bride wore a beautiful blue
silk adorned with pearls ami laces.
At 8 o’clock the bridal party retir
ed to the home of Mr. J. F. Fincken.
where a bountiful supper of three
courses was spread.
Another feature was the music of
Master Albert Fincken. which was
much enjoyed by all.
For a while Mr. and Mrs. Young
will be at home with Mr. and Mrs
Fincken.
The young couple have our best
wishes for a bright an.l happy future.
Mr. Liston to Come.
In a private letter to a friend in
this city. Rev. R. T. Liston, the newly
called pastor of the Presbyterian
church, writes: “If all goes well I
hope to return in good time. Just the
exact date I can hardly give, but, of
course, hope it will be before the 21si
of November, as that is the date of
the call meeting of Presbytery at
Spartanburg.” The Presbyterian
church has been fortunate in its se
lection and it is confidently expect
ed that Mr. Liston will do a good work
in Gaffney.

Ail doubt has been removed as to

permanent cure.

and and the only guaranteed cure
for catarrh that has been discovered.
