C., January 23.—A dastardly assassination was attempted near Hartsville, in this county, last night, and the victim may yet die. The attempt was made against the life of C. L. Jonkins, a special detective sent to Kellytown, near Hartsville, about twenty miles from Darlington, by Pin ion’s Detective Agency. Jen kins was sent on December 1 by the United States Govern ment to see if illicit whiskey traffic was not carried on in the neighborhood o f Kellytown, and Governor Evans employed him to look after the same in terest for the State Government. The work in the particular sec tion referred to required careful handling, but Jenkins’s sixteen vears’ experience with moon shiners fitted him for the task admirably. Your correspond ent hunted Jenkins up today and had a long interview with him, and was surprised to learn on such unquestioned authority that moonshiners were doing such a lively business in this county. I had to wait several hours before Jenk’ns could be seen, the physicians in charge requesting this. Late in the afternoon I was admitted to Jenkins’s room. The steps and doorway were marked by many large drops of blood. The room was fifteen feet square, with two windows, one opposite the fireplace. Be tween these two windows was a small bed, not two feet from either window. The floor had blood stains all over it and the sheets were splashed and spot ted with clotted blood Lying on the bed was the wounded de tective, a striking looking man of 33 years. His face was scar red and bruised with broken pieces of glass and behind his right ear was a black and swollen wound made by a 38- calibre ball from a Colts pistol. A broken pane of glass marked with powdersmokeshowed where the coward stood who fired the shot. Jenkins told his story very graphically and simply, and one thing was very evident, he is a man of nerve and cour age and is not to be frightened. His story, substantiated by the other occupant of the room, a Mr. Helen, was as follows : On the first day of December last he arrived in Hartsville, and on the fifth day of the month he succeeded in getting board at Jim Kelly’s, the man he most desired to see. He staid three weeks with Kelly and saw drinks, flasks, kegs and barrels of whiskey sold without any revenue or dispen sary stamps on them. He was several times suspected of being a spy, but succeeded in allaying their suspicions, although once he said he came very near “looking up a rope.” In the meantime, in addition to his weapons, he had his trusty little kodak with him and he "pressed the button” and “did the rest” also. The results were over whelming, and on the 27th of December, when his identity became known, he had forty- eight warrants issued for the arrests of various persons. Four teen preliminary examinations have been held, and the parties were find one hundred dollars each or thirty days in jail. In every case they went to jail, re fusing to pay a cent, though any one of them could have paid the fine. Yesterday he had Jim Kelly brought to Dar lington for trial, and several friends came with Kelly. Jen kins said that Kelly urged him several times not appear against him, insisting that it would be best for both that they should not testify or to attend the trial. In reply Jenkins told him that he, Kelly, had too much seuse to make any such request, and that he intended doing his duty, but nothing more than his duty. The trial pro ceeded and Kelly had to give bond or go to jail. He gave bond late in the afternoon and all left Darlington. At 9 o’clock that night Jen kins was in his room lying on the bed, Mr. Helen being in the room with him. Newitt Kelly, closely related to Jim Kelly, entered the room and asked Jenkins to get up. Jenkins had his pistol in his right hand and refused to sit up, saying he was tired. He said that he saw that Kelly “meant devilment and that he did not mean to be slow in the operation himself,” and kept his eye steadily on Kelly and his hand on his pistol. Kel ly left the room, returning in a few moments, and again insist ed on Jenkins getting up, which Jenkins did not do. He said that he was thoroughly convin ced now that Kelly intended shooting him as he left the room, so sat upon the edge of the bed. As he did so he ran his fingers through his hair and at the same instant he heard a loud report and a crash and he knew nothing further for a | while. Then when the shock was over he realized what had I occurred and made for the door. | When the shot was fired Kelly j asked Helen who did it and (then left. Neither Jim nor Ne- ; witt Kelly have been seen since and SherifT Scarborough is now after them with warrants for their arrest. Jim Kelly is a well-to-dofarm- er, is a man of few words and is considered a desperate char- I aeter. Newitt Kelley is a dan gerous man also, and his broth er was killed on Christmas day , in a fight. All have been strong Tillmanites for some time. Jenkins is badly wound ed, but he will probably recov er. The bullet entered just be hind the right ear, but two things saved his life. The as sassin had to fire across a thick glass, which made the bullet deflect, and as Jenkins raised his hand, the two middle fiin- gers were nearly shot off, caus ing further deflection. Jenkins is as gritty a man as can be found and is well thought of by the entire town of Haitsville. He says he intends to finish his work, that he has been shot at before and that he is not fright ened. He is from Ewart, N. C., and has a wife and six children. He has telegraphed to his wife, to his chief, and to Governor Evans, but had heard nothing when I told him good bye. j. E. N. [Under warrants issued by Trial Justice Crosswell last night, Jim and Newitt Kelley have been arrested and lodged in jail. They will proba bly waive their preliminary examina tion to-day, and give bond for their appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court. Editor, News.] Homicide at Lydia. Mr. R. J. Scarborough, son of Sheriff George P. Scarborough, acting in the capacity of special deputy, went to Lydia on Mon day afternoon for the purpose of arresting Beauregard Mur dock, colored, who wascharged with malicious trespass. Mr. Scarborough says that when he attempted to arrest him, the negro threw him down, sat on him, took his pistol from him, and compelled him to leave the place. Mr. Scarborough then went a few miles off to the resi dence of a Mr. Privett, obtained a breech-loading shot gun, and returned to Murdock’s house,but after a diligent search of the premises, failing to find the ne gro, he left. He remained over Monday night in the neighbor hood, however, and again re turned to Murdock’s place on Tuesday morning, accompa nied by H. F. Thomson, a well known ex-sewing machine agent. Upon finding the man, Mr. Scarborough says that he ordered him to throw up his hands, but that instead, he at tempted to draw a pistol, saying as he did so, that he would die before being arrested. Mr. Scar borough, who was then armed with a Winchester rifle, fired, the ball taking effect in Murdoc’s stomach. Dr. Wallace was sent for, but the negro died before he could get there. Coronor Parnell went out to the scene of the tragedy yesterday and em panelled a jury of inquest, who found that the deceased came to his death at the hands of Robert Scarborough. Mr. Scar borough is quite a young man. He attended Clemson College last session. H. H. Thomson, white, who saw the killing, testified as fol lows: BobScarborough deputized me to go with him to arrest a darkey, and we hunted for him Monday evening and part of Monday night, and Tuesday up to two o’clock and found him over here a little after two o’clock where he now lies. When we came up Scarborongh says, “We have got you now ; will you give up ?” The darkey said, “No, by , I won’t.” Scarborough threw his gun on him then, and told me to do the same. We had our guns against that pine tree, both of us. Scar borough then said, “throw your spade down.” He dropped the spade on the ground when he was told to do so, and threw his hands in his hip pocket; [wit ness here indicates with a ges ture his right hip pocket.] I said to him : “If you pull that pistol, you will be killed.” He said, with a string of oaths, that we could kill and be . Scar borough then told him to throw up his hands. He raised his hands, and put them in this po sition, crossing his hands in front of him. When he put his hands up, Scarborough said to me, “You hold your gun on him, and I will go to him.” Scarborough took his gun down in his hands this way. His gun was down from his shoulder, and when he took his gun down from that position, Beauregard dropped his hands and threw his right hand to his pocket again, and Scarborough was just in the act of jumping a ditch at hand when the gun fired. I do not think he intend ed shooting the gun when he did. I saw Beauregard with a pistol both times before the shooting. I saw the handle of the revolver; saw him throw his hands lively to his hip pocket. I tqld Scarborough to take his pistol away from him after the shooting. He went and got it outot his hip pocket. Beauregard was fifteen or twen ty steps from Scarborough when the latter shot. He was not I advancing on Scarborough. Beauregard put his hand on the pistol but did not draw it out. The pistol which Thomson desc ibes above is said to be the one that Beauregard took forci* bly from Mr. Scarborough in the difficulty they had the previous day. Derry Goodson, a colored man who was working with Beauregard at the time of the tragedy, tells a very different story of the affair from Thom son. For instance, he says he saw no pistol on Beauregard at all. There were others, besides Thomson, however, who saw Scarborough take the pistol from Bereaugard after he fell, though there seems to be some difference of opinion as to whether it was taken from his hip pockt or from his breast. M'Launn On The Wer Path. [Columbia Register.] ^ As there seems to be a’lull in State politics and without a pos itive knowledge of what is do ing or going to be done, I sub mit herewith my own peculiar opinions of the situation. The time for action, it seems to me, has arrived, and thus believing, I shall not longer stifle my con victions, but I shall speak frankly and unreservedly as I think the necessities of the situ ation require, and abide the con sequences, whatever they may be. The general poverty and depression in the country at large is intensified by local con ditions. No one expected the “Movement” of 1890 to divide our people, into two absolutely hostile camps, and the whole thing can be traced to the aban donment of the primary election principle last summer to pro mote the interest of certain in dividuals. The Constitutional Convention is upon us, and with it our internecine strife: the “nigger in the wood pile” is reviving. “Not dead but sleep - eth” is written over the attenu ated corpse of Fhe Democratic party north of Mason and Dix on’s line, and even in our own section, and among our own people, signs of decay are visi ble. Our old allies will not help us, and can no longer be relied upon. Let us help ourselves. The inteiests of ninety nine out of every one hundred of our citizens are identical. A con vent iou of a faction, no matter how able its membersship or good its work, will be disas trous and drive us further apart. Everyone admits that, but unfortunately we have be come such astute politicians that each of us is afraid to move for fear of injuring his chances of securing some office, fiom that of county coronor to Presi dent of the United States. We are breeding tyrants and politi cal cowards in South Carolina. Too much policy and not enough of patriotism." Why, Mr. Ed itor, I came within an ace of ruining my flattering political prospects last summer by a few entirely innocent and kind ob servations made to “My Dear Appelt.” But whatever the re sult I have the satisfaction of knowing that I coined at least one or two apt words and phrases, which, if they did not enrich the English language, will live for some time, de- scripto person*. Ever since I wrote that letter (in which, God knows, I was honest), I have been maligned, misrepre sented and misquoted. Every time I opened my mouth I was charged with being in league with “Butler,” but that can be done no longer, as Gen. Butler is out of politics and will soon be a private citizen. While we differ on some things politically, he will carry with him my un dying friendship and respect. Had it not been for the miscon struction which true friends, whose opinion I value, would have placed upon my conduct, I would have died a, thousand political deaths before submit ting to what I did. The people have honored me. I love them, and have studied hard and tried to give them value received. I have come to the conclusion that I do not care whether I ever hold another office or not, if it involves the least sacrifice of dignity, honor or principle, and I do not propose to occupy any equivocal or uncertain po sition. I am in favor of har monizing the factions if such a thing be possible, but in order to do that we must destroy a “ring” more desperate, more autocratic, more tyrannical, more unscrupulous, than ever dominated the State or controll ed the destinies of a free people. I defy them! Let them take the office I hold if they can. They cannot muzzle my tongue, nor stifle my manhood or independ ence. They are now making preparations to control the Con stitutional Covention, and there by perpetuate themselves in power, and, if necessary to ac complish this, white men, as well as the negro, will be ruth, lessly disfranchised. The “An tis,” one part are cowed and whipped, the other part too mad to have any sense, and| and while a part of the “Re formers” who want fair play; are silent, an arrogant minority, held together by the “cohesive i power of spoils,” runs rough-1 shod over all. Officies are'mul- tiplied by the thousand to pre vent “kicking,” while the hands of the Executive are strength ened by unlimited patronage, and the towns intimidated by the threat of depriving them of the precious heritage of local self government. The Alliance has been destroyed or simply converted into an adjunct of the political machine by meth ods that would make the stripes of Tammany Tiger pale with envy. Men are afraid to speak, or speak with bated breath. Pre tended salary reductions are made on the principle of cutting everybody else's salary except their own. While the patient, toiling masses are in debt and are straining every nerve to keep the “wolf from the door.” their attention is led away and centered on the personal and lo cal issues that, no matter which way they are decided, will bene fit no one except a few individ uals. *What in the name of Henven can the people expect from such purblind statesman ship? Where do they come in? Every man, woman and child in South Carolina knows that I am telling the truth, t,nd many good Reformers see in the ugly picture the finale to the beauti ful dream of 1890. Our only hope is to get togeth er in this Convention, and if possible, prevent the “ring” from controlling it. and frame a Constitution which will com mand the respect and confi dence of the whole people, there by uniting and placing us in a position in 1896 where we can avail ourselves of the most fav orable opportunity that nation al politics may then offer. It is useless to temporize. If we be men, let us act, and, at least, purchase an honorable defeat. For what I have already said and done along this line I have been the subject of vituperation, slander and abuse, and I shrink (no one knows how much) from offering myself as a further tar get to the foul pen hirelings aud slaves. If doing my duty man fully and conscientiously rele gates me to private life, I wel come it. Let the phalanx put a'l of its spears into my body if thereby the cause of liberty is conserved. It was the express ed hope of many that the “Forty” ere this would have taken such action as would have made their influence felt on the line indicated by them, which met with such general approval throughout the State. I hope and believe the matter will soon consummate in definite action, and thereby unite all these who sincerely want “peace and un ity.” Men who possess the courage of their convictions must confer in the near future, and adopt such a line of action as will subserve the best inter ests of the State. It is a fight against the “bossism” and “ring rule” which seeks to prostitute every principle of popular rights to selfish purposes. Let those who believe peace can be ob tained without an effort deceive themselves no longer. Peace has never been purchased with out a stern battle to secure its blessings. Yours respectfully, John L. McLacrin. Washington, Jan. 13, 1895. A Sorely Afflicted Family. Charley Jeffords, aged six teen, son of Mr. Thomas C Jef fords, who lives near Palmetto, died of pneumonia on Saturday, and was buried at Pisgah Metho dist Church, near Ebenezer, on the following day. Mr. JohnS. Jeffords, aged twenty-two, an other son of Mr. Thorns C. Jef fords, died of the same disease yesterday and will be buried at Pisgah Church to-day. Such grievous affliction in any one family is most unusual—t h e loss of two grown sons within a week. Mr. Jeffords is one of our most highly respected citi zens, and has the deepest sym pathy of the entire county in his bereavement. His son, Mr. JohnS. Jeffords, was married quite recently to a Miss Eady, of Williamsburg county. It was only three weeks ago that the notice of their marriage appear ed in these columns. THE C(OTY NEWS. FROM ALL SECTIONS AS TOLD BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS. SOCIETY HILL. Miss Mae Emanuel, of Marl boro, is in town on a visit. Messrs. Frank and Edward McIntosh, of Newberry, a ehere on a visit. Mrs. Sarah Mims, of Texas, is on a visit to her brother, Maj. John J. Mclver. Absence of news from this point last week is to be ac counted for by the correspon dent’s absence from home. Lumber is now being hauled and work will soon be begun on a house which is to erected for Mrs. F. P. Stout and Miss M. L. Coker. We notice quite a pile of bricks in front of Capt. Carri- gan’s residence. It is to be hoped that such a sign means that a handsome structure is soon to be erected in that vi cinity. Married, at the residence of the bride, on January 22. 1895, by the Rev. W. C. Lindsay, D. D., assisted by the Rev. D. W. Key, Miss M. E. McIntosh and Rev. T. P. Bell, D. D. Captain Carrigan will plant twenty five acres of tobacco and Mr. L. E. Carrigan thirty acres. To look after their respective crops, the former has secured the services of Mr. V. Dand- rich, and the latter those of Mr. W. G. Drake. Billy Williams, a quiet and peaceable colored man, had a fine cow shot by unknown par ties on Saturday last. He turned the animal out as usual in the morning, and when he went to drive her up in the af ternoon, he found her in very bad condition. She died from the effects of her injuries on the idlowing day. Whoever was guilty of this dastardly crime should be made to suffer for it to the fullest extent of the law. progressing his school at LAMAR. Prof. Odom is very niceW with this place. The capitalists of Lamar are speaking of erecting a tobacco warehouse here. Cards are out for the marriage of Mr. G. E. DuBose and Miss Hattie Andrews. Mr. D. C. Reynolds of this place, and Mrs. Sallie Vann, of Jovann, were married on Wed nesday, the 16th., at Jovann, by the Rev. Mr. Satterwhite. From the fact that so many are going into tobacco culture, the day laborer is getting all he can do in cutting poles, wood, boards and shingles. Were it not for this, a great many would not be able to find anything to do just now by which they could make a living. While our people have been in straightened circumstances about money matters, and are all left in debt, we believe that, generally speaking, they are in much better condition as to home raised provisions than they have been for many years past. There were fine corn crops made last year, an abund ance of molasses, and an unus ual amount of pork. The raising of tobacco is the latest “agony” with our people. At a rough guess, I would say that there will be seventy-five barns put up within a radius of two and a half miles of this place. The cotton acreage will be considerably reduced; more land will be devoted to corn aud other provision crops. Our farmers talk of using fertilizers on a very limited scale, if they use any at all. Wat'-rmelon Culture. A meeting of the Melon and Truckers’ Association of East- tern South Carolina will be held at the court house in Sumter, at 12 o’clock noon, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 1895. A full attend ance of the members is request ed, as important business will be transacted. The railroads will make special rates for the meeting. By order, E. R. McIver, J.M. Knight, President.

The and farm way. Oats sown in the. fall have been pretty much killed out; same farmers are sowing over. Air. Charles Hoffman, of Hartsville, has been a frequent visitor of late in our communi ty. Mr. R. T. Warren has pur chased the Luuday place, and is moving things arouud in a bus iness-like way. The cotton acreage will be greatly reduced in Ibis neigh- bo- - hood this year. Oats and tobacco will take the place of cotton to a considerable extent. We hope that one of these days we wil) have some improv- ment in our public roads and in the Black Creek crosings. The one at Newmarket is al most impassable, and we trust that our new County Supervi- visor will look after it in the near future. Died, at his home at Ashland, on the morning of the 19th inst., Mr. J. H. Smith, one of the most prominent young man of this community, where his loss will be greatly felt. He was about 26 years old and leaves a wife j and four small chiloren to mourn bis loss. Mr. Smith married a daughter of Mr. M J. Outlaw. His father, Mr J J. Smith, now Mes at the point of death with pneumonia. The bereaved family have the heart felt symphaty of this communi ty. Mr. Smith’s remains were interred at Gum Brauch Church on the 20th inst., in the ence of a host of friends. pres- CYPRESS. Lots of farm lands are un rented as yet, and it looks as if a goodly number of them were going to get a rest this year. The farmers say that the oat crop is badly damaged on light lands, but that they are all right where the land is stiff and clayey. William Simons, a hard-work ing colored man who lives near this place, had the misfortune, to cut his foot off while getting out cross-ties last week. The farmers seem to be in a quandary about buying fertili zers this year to make four and a half and five cent cotton. Not a single ton has been bought as yet in this section, and a great many speak as if they were not going to buy any at all.
