Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. At a big raffle and clay pigeon shoot, four miles from Manning Mon day. John Henry Lilley, 8-year-old son of J. S. W. Lilley, of Columbia, was killed by the accidental discharge of a small rifle In the hands of Clarence Izman. another small hoy. The ball entered the neck and broke the hone. Mr Lilley and family were visiting friends in Clarendon. Five printers and three apprentice hoys employed in the Greenville News office struck Monday because the management declined to sign an agreement making eight hours a day’s work. Their places were immediate ly filled and the office will hereafter be conducted as an open shop. There was no Interruption of operations on account of the strike. A wreck on the Southern railroad, a short distance from Jonesville, oc curred early Monday morning/. <1 seven coal cars were overturned. Thv cause seems to have been the splitting of a rail, which gave way under the weight of the engine. As a result the northbound passenger train was sent around by Greenville and Spartan burg. No one was killed or hurt. The Audubon society of Sou^h Caro line looks like an established thing. Some of the most prominent men in every coun*y have entered heartily into the plan and at the coming ses sion of the legislature a bill will be presented for passage, embodying pro visions uniform with those of nearly all the States, for the protection of in sect-eating, non-game birds as well as the singing and game birds, and found ing the salaried office of State game warden. The bill has good prospoolJ for passage. New companies were organized during the year 1905, to the sum of over $10,000,000 in this State according to the report of the secretary of State. The exact figures are $10,583,400; this does not include railroad charters and the figures are the largest in the history of the State. The most gratifying showing in the tabulated list now being prepared is the large number of small companies organized which shows diversified in dustries and the fact that the people generally are going into business for themselves. Babe Furtrell, an employee of the Philadelphia furnace, shot Earl Slaugh ter Monday night on Tennessee street, two balls from a 38 clibre pistol tak ing effect. Furtrell, Slaughter and Will Coffman had been to a dance and Furtrell had paid too much attention to the other men’s sweethearts. Slaughter and Coffman laid in wait for Furtrell and he he was on his way home Slaughter attacked him and knocked him down. Seeing that the odds were against him Furtrell drew his pistol and fired twice, one bullet entering Slaughter’s should and the other his hip. The wounded man was taken to a drug store in East Florence and the bullets cut out. Furtrell made an effort to escape, but proceed ed to a livery stable where he WM later arrested and carried to Jail. He claims that Slaughter struck him with brass knucks and the condition of his face bears out his statement. Slaugh ter’s wounds are not dangerous. The body of an unknown colored woman was found dead in a field on Taylor plantation, two miles below Columbia on the Blufl road, at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, by a young man from the city who was hunting birds. She was apparently about 60 years of age and no one 'vas found who could identify her. The body was removed to the colored under taking establishment of Carolina Fer guson on Washington street where an autopsy was held to determine the reuse of death. After making the examination the physician gave as his opinion that she died from ex posure. The left arm of the old wo man is drawn by a deformity and several of the fingers on the hand are stiff and crooked. The inquest over her body was held Tuesday night and the only witnesses were young Mr. T. M. DuBoss. who discovered her body, and Dr. Griffith, who made the au topsy. The verdict was in accordance with the opinion of the physician that death was due to natural causes. Mrs. P. T. Twitty Died La*t Night of the Old Year. (Lancaster News.) Mrs. Jane Twitty, wife of Mr. Peter T. Twitty, of Heath Springs, died Sunday night, December 31st., after an illness of twelve months. She was a daughter of the late John Bell and was about 58 years of age. She was a lady of the highest type of Chris tian character and was greatly belov ed by all who knew her. She was a devout member of the Baptist church. (Mrs. Twitty was the mother of Mrs. Dr. GrifTith, of this city, who was at the bedside Sunday night when'death came. Her many friends here deeply sympathize with her in her irreparable loss.) THE CITY PRIMARY QUIET IN GAFFNEY. MR. LITTLE MAYOR BY THREE. VOTES. CARDS OF THANKS.

Why is there always that doubt about any criminal being punished if he has a little money or influence? There ought not to be any. but there is. to the disgrace and dishonor of the State.

How often have cases of that kind occurred in the State, where so-called evidence was obtained, one way or the other, to give some probability to the the ory, while the public, and perhaps many of the iurymen. knew in their - ' own hearts that, notwithstanding the guilty as charged? * The remedy for this condition so that it may be quickly effective we do not know. Would that some wise man would arise amongst us aad point out the way. The only hope we can see is for public sentiment forcibly, constantly and forever \m arouse Itself against lawlessness of every character, and especially . to exert its influence in reviving amongst all men. women and children a deep and awe-inspiring regard for the sac redness of human life. This is a slow process, but every occurrence Bko that at Gaffnev and elesewhere ought to spur law-abiding people to redoubled effort. We sincerely trust the people of Cuaffney will not fail in their duty to themselves and the State in thi* mat ter. The victims and their friends were sjtrangers in a. strange land, so to speak.
