WILLIAM DAVIDSHAW TRIES
"IL ETC HIS EXISTENCE.
First Took Laudanum and T hen
Shot Himsel?Will Recover,
However.
News reached here yesterday of
the attempted suicide of Mr.
David Shaw, late editor of the Lake
City Times. Only meagre details
are obtainable, and no full account
of the desperate deed can be given
at this time. Mr. J. P. Nelson was
in Lake City yesterday, but left ear.
ly, and knew very little about the
affair. From what we could find
out yesterday, it seems that MrShaw
became despondent upon
meeting with reverses in his business
life, and sought to put an end
to his earthly existence, and thus
bring to a close all his trouble. He
at first took laudanum and afteryards
shot himself. He evidently
Jpok poor aim when he fired his
AAstol, as the bullet took effect in or
%ur the right shoulder. Mr. Shaw
B Jul written a statement before he
yied to kill himself,
tllere is the letter:

this. I have some friends here, I

they will dispose of my body. Place

Mr. Shaw has been editing the
Lake City Times for several months
and was well thought of by the peopleofthis
county. Before going to
Lake City he was connected with
the Register He is a son of the)
late J. Duncan Shaw, of Bishopville,
who met such a horrible 't|eath at
the hands of the famous Kellys, of
Darlington. He is about 26 years
old, and unmarried. His wound,
while very painful, will not prove
fatal.

Miss Ervin Severance, day operator
at Lanes, spent a day at home
i last week.
Mr. W. T. Askins has Just return- 1
fed from a from atrip to Charleston.
Lawyer J. T. Dudley, of Bennettsville,
spent last Friday and Saturday
in our town. He
was heard to say that he often took
a case for half what he could get
out of it. The particular case here,
I think, from all appearances, is one
the titles to the property of which
he wants made out in his own name.
Of course, it is useless to say that
the "property" in this "case" is a
girl.
The farmers are rejoicing over
the late rains. Crops are now looking
fine.
Mr. J. J. Morris has moved into
his new house, hut it is not yet completed.
When finished it will add
much to the looks of that part of
the town. We wish that several
others of our citizens who are able
to do so, would erect nice residences.
It would add much to the appearance
of the town, and increase the
value of the property near the
buildings.
Business is quite dull now, but
we hope for hotter times. Your
correspondent went several miles
into the country last Sunday and
j found that the farmers are well up
with their work, in spite of the late
start they got Of course, if the
