White Rock. July 17.-One of tho
ugliest, crimos that over disgraced
this county was coi unitted last Sat
urday afternoon in die Piney Woods
section, only about half a mile from
the Newberry line. Mr. Pat Bowers
of that section was shot from am
bush and instantly lulled while trav
eling the public highway in the
peaceablo pursuit of his business.
The details of the dood aro not
well known to the public. Mr. Bow
ors was alono in his buggy, coming
home from Little Mountain. When
about half way, about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, threo gunshots were
beard, half a mile across the county
line, on the Lexington side. A no
gro nearby heard some one exclaim,
"0, Lord!" -fastening in the di
rection of the voice, he found the
lifeless body of Mr. Bowers, riddh.d
with buck-shot. His slayers 1had
flod. Somo of the shot had hit the
horso, which ran away and tore tho
buggy to pieces.
This is about all that is positively
known about the killing. It is sup
posed that threo persons did the
shooting.
Mr. Bowers was somewhat of a
charactor. There has been bad blood
betwoon him and som his neighbors
for nearly a score of years. le, has
constantly boon in law suits. le
has boon convicted in the courts of
different offensos. A terrible state ol
feeling developed. At least twico lio
was forbidden from sending his
children to the public school of the
community. The foud went into the
church, and at times Satan seemed
to be turned loose. About two years
ago a saw n-ill in the immediate
community was burned. It was re
built; but, last Thursday night it,
too, went to the flames. Saturday
following the killing from ambush
occurred. It will be loft to the
courts to go more into detail in
these facts.
Mr. Bowers wis a mni of some
means, was about 50 yeara old and
loaves a family.
ANOTHER sToRy.
Chapin, July 1 ('.--Ono of the
most blood( ecurdIinog honucides that
has ever boen committed in this sec
tion occurred nmear here yesterday
aban't 2 p. mi. Th'le victim was Mr.
WV. P. B3owers and1 the murderer, or
imurderers, are unknown.
It seems that Mr. Bowers had
been to Little Mountain to get a
b)uggy he had at the repair shop, and
was on his wvay home. When he
got within a mile or so of home soe
sneakmng enemies fired upon him
from amblush, l iteral ly riddling himi
wit h shot, and the supposition is th at
(death was instant aneous.
Mr. Bowers was about 40t or 50
years of age, a good, prosperous
farmer, and a good citizen. Hie
leaves a wife anid seven children.
Hlis funeral wvas conducted at St.
Poetor's church by Rev. A. 1?. Beck
this afternoon at ~3 o'clock and the
remains interredl in that grave
yard1.
Mr. WV. HL. Sholley, whose 1home1 is
at Little Mountain, was in the city
last night and told of a horrible
homicide that occurred twvo miles
from the village of Little Mountain
last Saturday about 1:30 p. m.
T'hi murdoredl man was Mr. Pat
Bowers and his mlurdoerer is at hpres.
ont unknown. Mr. Bowers had been
to the village to attend to his Satur -
daiy purchases. Having finished
these, he got in his buggy and1(
started ho110me aont I o'clock in the
afternoon.
An hour later Mr. Tireck, whlo
lives four miles from Little Meoun
tain and very near' Mr. Bowers, saw
his neighbor's horse running (down
the read with a munch battered buig
gy. Suspecting som(e misfortune to
have happened to his frind,h has-n
tily sddled his own horso and wvIt
to find him.
Ito had hardly gono a milo whon
ho c1m11 upon the mangled and
blooding corpse, which ho recognized
to bo that of Mr. Bowors.
The body was torn by three gun.
shot wounds which had rent almost
ovory portion of his body. Two
mpty shos were laying by the sido
of tho woinded man. The fiondish
murdoror had evidently como for
ward to whore the body lay and
fired a third timo from his double.
barrolod shotgun, to bo doubly sure
of his victim.
Tho neighborhood wits 0oon
aroused and many mado diligeint
soarch for the assassin, but up to
this timo he has nA, been found, al.
though soveral are suspected.
Mr. Bowers leaves a wife and sev
oral children. Ho was a thrifty
farmer and %was generally popular,
althotigh it is svid ho had some eno
mies in tho coilinlilitv. The r.e
mains wer buried at Piney Wood
chureil Sunday afternoon.

MALT TONIC QUESTION

DEICs AN OPINION.

Depsensi
(Columbia Rocord.)
Assistant Attornoy General in
ter today rondered his opinion in re
feronco to the malt tonic question.
various brands of which are sold by
drnggist in the Stato. A numbor of
81ampI)L34 we;ro submith-d to Dr. 131r
lie, 1110 StatO 0hem1ist, and his anal
yses shows that there is from throo
to six por cont. of alcohol by voluime
in tho preparation.
Mr. Guiter, in his opinion, quotes
that sections of the dispensary law
wNhich rofers to the amount of aleco
hol in beer, etc., which brings such
preparatiois uider the ban of the
law, 1111d goes oi to say that whether
or not these n.alt preparations are
ised ts intoxicatinqg beverlges is it
question cf fac" which a jury must
pass uplonl.
H' holis thA I alcohol inl these
proparittio0s is not thle principal in
grodient, but i, s:mply used in con.
noctioll it h oiher ingmreieits to pro
sorvI 11em anld ot herwiso make them
it partiuilitr imdicine, then t heso pro
prittiois aro iot under the han of
law. li other words, if ialt tonics
are medicines, lien they can be sold
by druggists.
If Soine peoplo use as intoxicating
boverages it jury must decido whether
they are so used or not. It is not in
the province of the legal department
of the State to pass on that. question.
Mr. Gunter's opiinion quotes free
ly on I he general laws on intoxicating
liquors and shows that ho has given
the question munch study. But it is
a point involving a question of fact,
which is a diflicult one to definitely
decido.
The Stato Board of Control may
take some action next month and it
may be that some case may be
brought up so that the whole ques
tion may be judicially passed over.
