[fiiyBn ?j flinor Events of the Week III I r Brief Form. ? ?***10001 laqpanaaaaaaaadaJ The Hamton Monument. The fund for the Hampton monoj mrnt is but slowly increasing and many counties have made a deplorable showing, as i3 seen by the accompanyJ ing list. The $20,000 appropriated br the legislature has now become available for use and according to the testimony of sculptors a very handsom* | design can be obtained for the sum it is proposed to pay. Mr. Charles Frederick Niehaus and Mr. F. Wellington: Ruekstuhl, both sculptors of widest renown, who have done many statues of Southern men. have shown to th? commission models of their work now: standing. No one has yet been selected to make the Hampton statue. The statue will take three years to complete when once begun. It is said that one reason why the collection of funds for the Hampton monument has not been carried on more successfuly is because there is not somebody to push it in every other county as there was in Darlington: and in Sumter, where the required amount was raised in a day. In a great many counties funds are being raised for the erection of Confederate monuments locally and the people of those counties would contribute with the same liberality to the Hampton monument if there was an organizer in such county to present the subscription list. It is not a question of indifference, but a matter of a lack of leadership.?Columbia State. J '' South Carolina Notes. Jim Spearman, a white man who said he was chief of police of Cross Hill, in' Laurens county, and who showed a' badge to prove it, was arrested, inr1 Greenville for stealing a Jersey bultt from Mrs. James Poole of that city. Ha1 is now in the county jail waiting a preliminary examination. This Is the second time Spearman has got Into the toils of the law, which he says he waa sworn to uphold at Cross Hill. On February 8. he was arrested in Greenville for being drunk and not paying hi* hack fare, and fined $5 in the Mayor** court. ? $5 The store of Mr. C. A. Fincher at the Highland Park Mill at Rock Jlill wa? uestoryed by fire Sunday morning about 2:30 o'clock. The fire department responded, but could be of no effective ^ . service, as the roof was falling in "" when the flames were discovered. The cause is unknown. Mr. Fincher estimates his loss at $1,500, on which there was no insurance. The building was * owned by Mr. A. S. Hand and was insured for $400. Sheriff Gilreath, of Greenville, wa* informed by a farmer from Pickens county who lives near the Greenville county line, that Edward Campbell had been shot Monday night by Bill Oliver. The shooting occurred in the upper part of that county near the "Dark Corner." Both men are white. Williams, the sheriff's information knew nothing of how the difficulty which resulted in. . the wounding of Campbell occurred. Sallie. wife of Wm. Maxwell, a colored woman living on Col. T. J. Moore's place, near Spartanburg, had a peculiar accident Tuesday. When stewing some apples in a half gallon tin can she took the lid off and the contents exploded, burning her face and clothing badly and closing up both. j.a her eyes. Some of the fruit struck the ceiling over her head. It is not believed that the woman's sight is lost. Wakefield, the man who is charged with the fiiurder of Jim Hicks near Tryon several days ago. was arrested at Bryson City, N. C.. Monday, but succeeded in making his escape. A reward of $100 has been offered for Wakefield's arrest by the friends of Hicks in Union, and with this inducement it is probable that the man will soon be behind jail bars to await trial in the general sessions court in Greenville. The new warehouse for cotton re% t cently constructed at Glendale waa wrecked Tuesday night by the walls and roof tumbling in. The cause is supposed to be the freezing of the mortar during the recent cold weather. Several hundred bales of cotton werestored in it, none of which, however, was damaged. It will necessitate, perhaps. rebuilding of the entire stnuv ture and the loss will be heavy. A freight engine on the old Three C's. ran into the Rock Hill shifting engine at the Highland Park oil mill at Rock Hill Friday afternoon, injuring both very considerably. The accident was caused by an open switch. Both engineers and firemen jumped, and e3ch received injuries, but not serions. Mr. J. C. Hughes, of the shifter, was perhaps the worse hurt, but is able to be again at work. A two-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Land, of Piedmont, was burned to death Monday night. The child was visiting next door and it ia thought that it was from a lantern. The children had been playing with It when attracted by the screams of i rv.o ihiiri v lantern was found scat J tered over the floor. They had placed I ir on the grate and it exploded, resplt| in~ n.s above stated.
