occurred at his home the night
before (Wednesday.) He was
endeavoring to extract from an
old musket a load that had pro
bably been in it a month or so.
He used a wooden ramrod which
i broke, and about ^Tx inches of
it was left in the barrel. Jack
! son then attempted to burn out
I the load by putting the musket
iu the fire. Perceiving smoke
issuing from the tube, he eon-
I eluded that the barrel was clear
i and to satisfy himself on this
point put his mouth to the barrel
cud blew into it. Just then the
load in the musket was dis
charged and the piece of ramrod
was forced violently down his
throat, so much so that only
about two inches of it was left
sticking out of his mouth. The
Mood vessels and tissues of the
neck were very much lacerated
by the piece of ramrod and the
shot and the powder badly tore
his mouth. Dr. W. J.
Garner was summoned shortly
tfter the accident occurred and
he did all for tho unfortunate
man that medical science could
lo, but it was of no avail. The
man’s life could not be saved.
The Doctor extracted the shot
and the ramrod from his t' roat
tnd Jackson lived in a semi
•onscious condition until
Thursday afternoon when death
brought him relief.

[Sumter Watchman, Get. HI.]
Daniel Harvin, colored, of Ha
good, this county, was wanted
in Manning for forgery, and it
is said that there was a strong
case against him. It was ex
peeled that court would con
vene on Monday, so on last Fri
day Daniel despite the weather,
announced his determination to
swim the Wateree river. He
jumped in and after swimming
a short distance sank. Here the
contradiction comes in, some
people say that Daniel was real
ly drowned, while others say
that he only went down the riv
er a short distance and is now-
in hiding. Harvin made twen
ty-nine bales of cotton, eight of
which he turned over to the
merchant with whom he had a
lien, eleven he sold and kept the
money, and the balance remain
for his creditors to divide be
tween themselves. Harvin has
the reputation of being
usually sharp r.egro.
an un-
follow ing statement concerning
their visit to the press:
“As litis is a matter of gen-1
eral public interest, and the
people are ke *nly alive to know 1
the result of "iir visit, as far as
I can 1 will make public the ex
act condition of the matter.
“There is evidently a stren
uous effort being made by the
holders of the old fraudulent
bonds to force the State at this
critical oeriod into some sort of
recognition of their claims, and
I am sorry to say that some of
our own people in Charleston
are lending aid and comfort and
are in combination with the
New York sharks who fattened
on the State's misfortune dur
ing the reconstruction era. To
further their objects a telegram
was sent from Charleston, and
was published in the New York
papers the day after we reach
ed there, asst rting that we were
in favor of the issue of 41 per
cent, bonds to redeem the 6 per
cent. Browns, and the issue of
new bonds to tho amount of
$1,250,000 to take up thefraudu
lent bonds. Of course this false
hood was rea l by the people of
New York, and it had the effect
>f directing attention to the ex
istence of the old fraudulent
debt and lent color to the charge,
which met us in every direction,
that the Stab at one time had
repudiated its obligations.
“Then we found that political
influences had been and are
■-lill at work throwing every ob
stacle possible in the way of the
success of our undertaking.
“In addition tot hat the weight
of the financial centres of the
State was against us. Owing
to the virtual cessation of busi
ness, produced by the Columbian
celebration, and the feeling of
unrest and distrust which exists
because of the uncertainty as to
■vhich party will be victorious
in the coming campaign, we
round capitalists unwilling to
make any offer which we could
iccept; and. therefore, after
taving formed the aequaintan
•e of and discussed the situation
with some of the leading finan
ciers on the street, we deter
mined to return home and wait
until after tho election.
“I am not at all discouraged
by the obstacles which I have
shown to exist and unless the
Republican party is victorious
in the Presidential contest, and
carries both House and Senate,
I have every reason to believe
that we will have no trouble in
arranging the refundment of
the debt to tl e satisfaction of
the General Assembly. Oi
course if all three branches ol
the government fall into the
hands of the Republicans, it
would foreshadow interference
with local control by the South
ern States of their own govern
meuts and make capitalists very
shy of investing in our securi
ties, and it is the desire to
await the result of the election
more than anything else which
has prevented our accomplishing
what we wen. to do.
“I would say for the informa
tion and bene it of the conspira
tors who sent the telegram from
New York the night we left
there—which stated that Gov
ernor Tillman ‘did not accom
plish anything in the matter,
and it might as well be under
stood. first and last, that noth
ing of value can be accomplish
ed until provision is made for
the uon-fundible bonds’—that
they and the 'Southern capi
talists who are now trying to
do what they can,’ who are
evidently in collusion with each
other, will have their labor for
tin ir pain. The debt will be
refunded by Dr. Bales and my
self or not at all, and their med
dling will only result in harm.
Ths State will meet all its just
obligations dollar for dollar, if
we are not thwarted by all the
influences which I have men
tioned, and the result of the
election—but never a cent by
my advice or approval will go
to pay the fraudulent debt.”
