THE STATE FAIR. by CHARLES McCAFFERTY KILLS A MAN IN ST. LOUIS. The Well Known Dealer in Horses Uses his Pistol with Fatal Effect—Exoner ated by the Jury. Mr. Charles McCafferty, who is well known in Darlington and this vicinity, having often visit ed here for the purpose of sell ing horses, became involved a few days ago, in St. Louis, in an unfortunate affair in which he had to kill a man. The fol lowing account is taken from the Columbia Journal of Satur day: ‘•The many friends of Charles McCafferty and of Capt. W. D. Starling and family will learn with interest and regret of a re cent trouble in which the form er was forced to engage in a few days ago in St. Louis, in which he killed a man. “The circumstances, as told by the papers, are as follows: Mr. McCafferty and his wife, who was Miss Blanche Starling, of this city, were on a street car going to the East St. Louis race track when a man aboard the car began to curse and use very obscene language. Mr. McCaf ferty requested him to desist, out of respect to the ladies on the car. He did so but he seems to have been a malicious fellow. So soon as Mr. McCaffertj and his wife stepped off the car, and when Mr. McCafferty was least expecting trouble, the fellow made a lunge at him with a pocket knife and would have killed him but for the fact that the blade struck the buckle of McCafferty’s suspenders and glanced off. Realizing his dan ger and having been reared in the Lone Star State, where he had learned the ready use of a pistol, Mr. McCafferty drew as quick as a flash and before his assailant could strike a second blow, shot him three times. The man fell, but arose immediately and made the second lunge at McCafferty, when he shot him twice again. “The man died on the way to the hospital and the grand jury, being in session, the case was presented to them and they promptly exonerated Mr. Mc Cafferty, on the grounds of self- defense. This latter inform ation will be pleasant news to his and his wife’s friends in this city.” FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE. The Btr of Darlington Endorse Judge Chat. H. Simonton. The friends of Hon Chas. H. Simonton, of Charleston, Judge of the United States Distiict Court for South Carolina, are pressing his claims upon the President for appointment as Judge of the United States Cir cuit Court, the place made va cant by t h e recent death of Judge Bond.

The twenty fifth annual State Fair was held in Columbia last week. As usual the exhibits were exceedingly fine, but the attendance was not as large as it generally is. This was due to the fact that the railroads gave only slight reductions in the fare. Darlington was well represented in the exhibits and quite a number of her people at tended. The county took the large number of premiums that she always does. The follow ing were Darlington’s success ful exhibitors; J. N. Kervin, best thorough bred brood mare and colt; best and second best two-year-old stallion; second best one-year- old gelding; best and second best three year-old filly; best two-year-old filly; best matched geldings South Carolina raised; best matched mares South Caro lina raised; best pair of matched horses, one of each sex, South Carolina raised; best single-har ness mare South Carolina raised; fastest trotting colt South Caro lina raised and owned; best standard bred filly one year old; second best standard bred filly under oneyear old; second best matched mares open to the world. (Mr. Kervin’s premiums amounted to $211.) Highland Red Company, best standard bred stallion three years old and over; best single-harness stal lion open to the world; best stallion of any class with not less than four of his get. E. R Mclver, second best single-har ness mare open to the world; best on fowls, chicks and pen of blaekbreasted red game and second best on pen. C. R.

Paul Whipple’s colt, J R., won a trotting race as also did Bihy Wilkes, owned bysev- eral Darlington gentlemen. In his race Billy Wilkes won three in four heats, being pulled back in the second heat. » THE MARION HOMICIDE. Judge Fraser Releases Young Arthur Bethea on Bail. On Friday J. W. Johnson Esq., a member of the law firm of Johnson & Johnson of Mar ion, came over to Darlington and appeared before Judge Eras er to ask for bail for Arthur Bethea, a young white man who was lodged in the Marion i 'ail for killing a negro, named ’reston Bowen. The homicide occurred near the fair grounds at Marion, on the 3 inst., while the colored county fair was in progress, and was the outcome of a aispute about a buggy. At ter hearing argument Judge Fraser admitted young Bethea to bail in the sum of $1,600 If you pains in What Ails You? have sudden darting the joints or muscles and it recurs every time you get cold, and appears in new places without leaving any of the old ones, the best thing to do is to send five dollars to the Drum mond Medicine Co., 48-50 Maid en Lane, New York, for a bottle of Dr. Drummond’s Lightning Remedy for Rheumatism. It will cure you. Be wise in time, and do not be fooled with any thing else. If you have got the above symptoms you have got the Rheumatism and if the drug gist tells you the truth he will say Dr. Drummond’s Remedy is the only known cure. Agents wanted. A SMALL FIRE.

Law Honored by the Presby terians of South Carolina. At the recent meeting of Synod of South Carolina at Clin ton, Rev. J G. Law, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Darlington, was elected Modera tor. The people at Mr. Law’s home, where he is so much be loved, are greatly pleased at the honor conferred upon him. The position is a very responsible one and the selection of Mr. Law to fill it shows that his worth is not only appreciated by those among whom he daily labors, but is recognized abroad.
