SHOT OFF HIS BEARD.
The Thrilling Adventure of a Drummer
Well Known in Darlington.
[News and Courier, Sept 2.]
Mr. W. H. Bellinger, who is
well known in this city, arrived
in Charleston yesterday, after
havintr a thrilling experience
on a Carolina Central freight
train near Sumter. Mr. Bell
inger was trying to reach that
city to fill his business engage
ment there, and after man} de
lays, occasioned by the recent
storm, he caught a Central
freight train and was near the
completion of his tedious jour
ney. Two fellow passengers,
who had started the trip with
him, left the train at various
ints along the road, and Mr.
dlinger was the only remain
ing passenger in the coach.
When the train reached the
long cut, which is about five
miles out of Sumter, Mr. Bell
inger remarked to a train hand
that he was very tired and
thought he would fie down for
a while. Suiting the action to
the word he stretched out on
two of the seats.
As he threw himself back in
the coach he caught a glimpse
of a man standing on the edge
of the cut and pointing a pistol
at the window. To dodge was
natural. Mr. Bellinger had
scarcely ducked his head back
on the seat when a ball crashed
through the window by him. It
clipped off a piece of his beard
and passed through the opposite
udow. Mr. Bellinger drop-
in his seat, and as he did so
eard the man outside holler
that he “had dropped him.” The
train man called to find out if
he was hurt and wished to stop
the train, but Mr. Bellinger ad
vised him not to do so. About
half a mile further on the train
was stopped and an examina
tion made. The hall was found
to have passed through the se
cond window, about on a level
with the place at which it had
entered. The man’s hand must
have been level with tho win
dow and he himself standing on
the embankment.
It is thought by the parties
concerned that an attempt to
capture the train was to have
been made. The man who shot
thought he was shooting at the
conductor. If he killed or
wounded him the train would
be stopped and the thieves could
have taken possession of it.
They probably calculated that
the telegraph wires being in a
demoralized oondition they could
make off safely with their spoils
without being captured. Mr.
Bellinger is an old soldier who
was shot more than once while
scouting for Hampton in Vir
ginia, but he says that this is
about as narrow an escape as he
ever made in his life.

The Lesson of the CyelOne Drawn by
Rev. d. G. Law.
The News a n 4 Courier of
Monday makes the following
reference to a sermon anent the
great storm of last week, de
livered in Charleston on Sun
day by Rev. J. G. Law of Dar
lington:
“The roof of the First Presby
terian Church having been in
jured by the storm, the congre
gation yesterday worshipped in
the lecture room. The Rev.
John G. Law preached an ex
cellent sermon to a large and
attentive gathering of people of
different denominations from
the text: “A new command
ment give I unto you that ye
love one another: as I have lov
ed you, that ye also love one
another.” The preacher said
in obeying this command we
give expression to the law of
the Kingdom of God—In the
next place we give evidence of
our loyalty to our King. This
obedience should take the form
of sympathy—it should be prac
tically helpful to the needy
among our fellows, and it should
exhibit self-sacrifice in carrying
the news of divine grace to sin
ners. Obedience falls short—
that does not have regard for
the physical am* spiritual con
dition of men. His illustrations
were touching, and he conclud
ed with an appropriate quotation
from Leigh Hunt."
A BUSINESS CHANGE.
Mr. J. D. Baird Purchases the Interest
of his Partner, Mr. G. E. Dargan.
Mr. J. D. Baird, one of Dar
lington’s most enterprising
young men, who has been en
gaged in the furniture business
with Mr. G. E. Dargan, has
purchased the latter’s interest
in the establishment and will
hereafter conduct the business
alone. Mr. Baird’s many friends
wish him every success for he
certainly deserves it. We refer
our readers to his new adver
tisement which appears in this
issue. He clain s that he can
sell goods from 10 to 20 per cent,
cheaper than otherwise because
he buys direct from the facto
ries in car lots. Call and exam
ine his solid oak suit of ten
pieces for $35 and his suit of im
itation walnut, ten pieces, for
$10. If you do not wish to buy
the whole suit of imitation wal
nut he will sell any piece at a
remarkably low price.
African M( thodiats.
The Sunday-sciiool convention
of the A. M. E Church for
Florence district was held at
Centreville Church last week.
Rev. A. W. Haj ward, the pre
siding elder, was present and
opened the convention. The
meetings were very large, all
the delegates being in attend
ance. J. M. Sims was chosen
superintendent of Florence dis
trict, which includes all the
territory from Lynche’s River
to Cheraw. The good people
around Centreville received the
delegates most hospitably and
everything passed off pleasant
ly.
■ rJW*for two reasons,
llrst, the throwi
mnt of m
vould of ’
effect upoD business
by rest4rin|( confi-
ence and making money mat
ters more easy. Second, the
large amount of money hoarded
because the people see that the
Government is bent upon a pol
icy of contraction of the curren
cy. This money would come
out of its hiding place at this
evident intention of the Govern
ment to adopt the opposite poli
cy of expansion.
There is, he contends, a well-
defined fear, which appears to
be well-grounded, that the Gov
ernment intends to retire the
legal tender treasury notes is
sued under tho Sherman law,
and issue silver certificates,
which would not be full legal
tender. _ The authority for de
daring a part of these United
States notes destroyed has a
( recedent in 1884, when nearly
9,000,000 were declared lost or
destroyed, and there has been
$1,000,000 destroyed in the Chi
cago fire.
The original amount author
ized to be issued was $450,000,-
000. The time these were to
run was indefinite. According
to the best information at his
comfhand the largest amount
outstanding at any one time
was on June 30, 1804, when the
amount reached $449,338,902.
The largest estimates put the
resent outstanding amount at
346,631,016—even this leaves a
margin of $100,000,000 t h -a
might be issued. No man can
tell the exact volume of green
backs outstanding on account
of loss by fire or other accidents.
Senator Plumb in 1888 placed
the amount at not over $300,
000,000.
If these notes are authorized
to be issued, says McLaurin, ]
do not see why some plan can
not be devised to use them in
moving the crops instead of the
clearing house certificates pro
posed to be issued by the banks,
and which would be subject to
the discounts and manipulations
of speculators and would not be
legal tender for debts. These
United States notes would be
full legal tender, and there is
no reason why they would not
be used in this' great emergency

Gold Dollar* Too Chaapl
Look out for the man who is
trying to sell gold dollars for
fifty cents. It isn’t always safe
to trust entirely to an attractive
advertisement—especially if the
advertiser lives a long way off
an^jou don’t know much about
him. very few people know
mush-about the real merits of a
musical instrument and may be
easily deceived by trusting to
appearances. Many a piano or
organ looks like a fine instru
ment, but its merit is only skin
deep. Remember that it act
ually costs a reputable manu
facturer more tb produce a good
instrument than some people
advertise to retail theirs at.
When you wish to buy you will
be safe«*-ia at least getting in
formation from the great South
ern Music House of Ludden &
Bates in Savannah,,Ga. They
are the largest dealers in the
South and are known to every
one. Read their advertisement

ent statute laws the Secretary
of the Treasury has ample au
thority to issue United States
notes in sufficient quantity to
relieve the present financial
stringency: Therefore be it re

United States m tes, issued un
der the several Acts of 1862 63,
be, and the sam • are hereby, de
clared lost or destroyed, and the

rected to credit the redemption
fund with said i mount.
