Another homicide 111 this county, but this time the killing appears to have been in self defense. Lewis Watts, col., was shot and killed by his 19 year old son four miles above here Thursday evening about night. It appears that Lewis was accustomed to whipping the household occasionally wife, children, large and small, and that evening he made a start on his wife, having whipped her unmercifully and threatened to kill her, but she got loose and ran off and was met, as she went away from the house, by her children who had been fishing and who took her hack to the house. Lewis started for Johnson, his oldest son, with a razor in one hand and a rope in the other [he used the rope to whip his wife| Johnson backed toward the door, but the old man got in a "swipe" or two with his razor, planting an ugly gash in the boy's arm. After that bout was over it was the boy's turn to get in some work. lie had a pistol in his pocket. Ho promptly drew that pistol and fired the fatal shot, the ball taking effect in the hack just above the right shoulder and going entirely through the body in near range of tho heart. The father ran out into the yard a few steps and fell upon his face where he lay till yesterday morning when the coroner's jury moved him, with a razor in one hand and a rope in the other. Deputy sheriff Wilson went up and brought the boy down yesterday morning and lodged him in jail. He made no attempt whatever to escape, feeling we sup. , Xintv inn VOU1BO, oau tvliu awful as it.was, was justifiable in the eyes of the law. Mr. Sowell Withdraw* an a Candidate for Sheriff.

"It never rains, but it pours, and it never pours but it washes and it never washes but what in, farm gets more than any bod elses', said one of our peculiar! pessimestic farmers the other daj in discussiug the recent heav, rains. To those who are given ti rellecting thus, tlie Scotchman' observation "that tire good Lor< bin running this old world 1 l good while, and he never nan i consult ye yet, and He nive made any mistakes," is very ap propriate. It seems til present, from ill reports of the daily papers tha the Prohibition party has , strong chgnce of electing ou next governor. Now the thinj for us to do is to begin at honu and see how our candidates fo the Legislature stand on thi issue. Send men to the Genera Assembly pledged to suppor Prohibition. Elect magistrate; and county officers that will set to it that prohibition is inforced Men that will?if the Dispensa ry wins?see that it is honestl; carried out. While the Columbia Stat may do Col.
