a while man, had a difficulty
with a negro named Smith. The
two met, armed with Winchester <
ritles. Regardless ot the proxim- (
i?y of passengers at, the station, (
both began tiring at foieh other
until ail their ammunition was
exhausted. Snowden then crawled I
to the platform of the station and ,
fell. Some of the frightened people
went to his assistance and
found liim covered with blood,
which was flowing from several i
weunds. The negro escaped, but |

Pennsylvania tjrit.
The toregoing item, which ap- ,
peared in Sunday's Pensylvania
"Grit," has been handed us by a
lriend with a requast that it be
published. The initials of the
victim of the tragedy would indicate
that it was Ben Barron Snowden,
a son ofCapt. S. J. Snowden,
ot this county, who has been living
in Georgia for several years.
It is to be hoped, however, that
the similarity of initials is merely (
a co-incidence. \ .

EXCITEMENT OVER MAD DOG.

Lakk City, S. C., Juna 17.?
Special?We have a lull, well
open cotton bloom that was picked
on Monday the 16th. It came
from Mr. M. V. V/aid's field. Old
farmers say that this is exceedingly
early for a bloom. The 21st
nf.Iiiiip ia flip pjirlipst datp liprp
tofore known in this section.
Therefore, this one on the 16th is
a record breaker. Some of oar
farmers are a little jealous of Mr.
Ward in this matter. Judge
Green walked all over his cotton
field in the broiling sun in search
of a bloom, but?alas, alas, it was
not there. The "Judge" is hard
to down, but thi9 time he was
completely knocked out.
Mr. J. J. Eaddy, of Prospect,
sold a curing of tobacco here Tuesday.
It brought a good price,

We had a good deal of excitement
over an alleged mad dog a
few days ago. On Saturday night
a dog, supposed to be mad, attempted
to bite Mr. H, W. Wilson
whom he ran into a store. The
?anie night a dog visited Messrs.
I. Q, Harrell's, W. J. Godwin's
ind other* in that neighborhood.
Sunday Mr. Godwin's dog was
seized with something like a fit
ind died. Monday night. Mr.

Lidi i cii a ?aa i(ii\?u in

norning Mr. Singletary's dog was
sick and there were fears that he
too had rabies. We have not
earned, at this writing, the result
)f his malady. Whether mad or
lot, wherever there is the least
suspicion the dog should be killed.
We can not afford to risk hydro
phobia lor the sake of a Tew dogs,
.vhich at best are well nigh worthess.
New Advertisements.
It is with pardonable pride that
we call attention to the new advertisements
which appear in Tiik 1
