There be ing no one present, Wilson wag left in the road where he hied to death from the wound. , What appears to have been a bold attempt to burn down the residence of General M. L. Bonham, in Anderson. Monday night, proved to he unsuo cessful, the fire having been discov ered before it had made much head way. That the flames were kindled bv the hands of a n incendiary there Is but little doubt. The attempt to burn ho house was mad e by one who wap evidently familiar with the cli^ eumstances. None of the General’s famllv was at home during the early part of the night and it is supposed the would-be Incendiary knew that, and thought It an opportune time for his work. Geo Schumann, a member of the South Bethlehem, Pa., ponce force, wa c shot and killed by a negro wrno fcays he is William Jones, of South Carolina, on the tracks of the Pntla- delphia and Reading railroad Tues day night.

Schumann fired two shots at his as sailant. Two hours later a wounded negro, answering the description given by Schumann was found in a lumber yard. He tvas hurried to the eastern jail to prevent a lynching. Miss Carrie Bailey, the 19-year-old daughter of Mrs. Carrie Bailey, wasj drowned Monday afternoon in Port- man dam neap Anderson.

Miss Bailey was to have been married on Septem ber 19th to Mr. F. H. Walker, of El- berton. Ga. Mr. Fincken installs Some New Labor. Savina Machinery, There is probably no better equip ped bakery in the State than that of Mr. J. F. Fincken, of this city; and certain it is that his products cannot be excelled. Mr. Fincken has recent ly made some extensive improve ments and installed some handsome new labor-saving machinery in his bakery on Blast Frederick street, which not only adds much to Its ap pearance, but facilitates to a great extent the handling of his products, a new gasoline engine furnishing the power to drive the ingenious devices which prepare the bread for the oven. The output of this bakery is about five hundred loves of bread a day, besides numerous little helicacies in the form of pies and cakes, all of which find ready sale in the city; though a large amount of bread is daily shipped to out-of-town points. Mr. Fincken is a baker of long ex perience in every feature of the busi ness, and with his new eQuipment he is furnishing the people of Gaffney with a luality of bread that has no supenour in any marbet.

The directors of the Farmers’ Warehouse Company of Cherokee county held a most enthusiastic meet ing at Gaffney yesterday. They pur chased from Mr. R. A. Jones his pro perty between Frederick and Robert son streets for the purpose of erect ing thereon a warehouse for the storage of cotton and other farm pro ducts. The warehouse will be a bonded one. and will be In charge of an experienced grader who will beep in touch with the cotton markets of the world, and who will be in a posi tion to advise the farmers how to dis pose of their cotton to the best ad vantage. The farmers of Cherokee county are in earnest, an evidence of' that fact Is that the stock of the ware house company is being snapped up with avidity by thfe farmers. The shares are placed at $5 each, and al most every farmer in the county will have from on e to fifty shares. Th e secretary has been Instructed to apply for a charter at once, and 50 per cent of the stock will be called for within thirty days, and the work of erecting the building will be com menced at once, as (he committee purpose to have the building ready to store this year’s crop. The capital stock of the company will be limited to $10,000. If any one doubts that the farmers of Cherokee ai« »n earn est let him attend one of these com mittee meetings and he will be con verted to the belief that they are making an earnest effort to put them selves in a position where they will be able to protect themselves against those who manipulate the price of the staple to their own advantage. The committee will meet again next Monday.' Fake Money in Mayor’s court. Mayor’s court Wednesday morning was no tame affair. While no case appeared for trial and none of course was tried, nevertheless excitement was there in large pieces. From the many utterances that were in evi dence it was hard to patch up what really had occurred, but with minor in accuracies, it was in this wise: When train No. 40 came in Tuesday night a negro alighted who appeared very anxious to secure change for a dollar. He asked several persons for change, finally signalling out Sam Fort, the real estate man. and called on him for the change. Mr. Fort de clined to serve as money changer, but the negro was insistent and so anxious it is said he made an effort get a silver dollar Mr. Fort had in his hand. I n this, however, he wag un successful and made a run for the moving train. He was held until an moving train. He was caught and held until an officer ap peared when he was locked up. The dollar bill (?) which he was so anxious to pass was a "Pratt Food” advertlsment. remotely resembling a dollar bill. As he had really secur ed no money it was impossible to hold him in mayor’s court. He told several tales as to why ho wished it changed, except the one most prob able—wanting good money for baff: He stated that he thought It was genuine and that he had given four silver quarters for It.
