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.”

List of the Many Premiums Taken
Darlington County.
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

competition with him no pre

Capt. 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.

THE NEW MODERATOR.
Rev. J. G. 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. We
feel sure that he will fill the
position most acceptably.
The Loss of a Leg
Or arm by amputation would
not cause so much suffering as
many people endure with Rheu
matism. One of the greatest
discoveries of the century is a
certain cure for this terrible dis
ease, a speedy relief from hor
rible suffering, and a rapid cure.
What a blessing! It is Dr.
Drummond’s Lightning Reme
dy, price $5, large bottle, and
if the druggist has not got it,
the remedy will be sent to any
address on receipt of price, by
Drummond Medicine Co., 48 50
Maiden Lane, New York.
