On Saturday night, June o, at Brunson's X Roads, B W Brown, colored, was stabbed to death by a negro named Epps Snow den. Jtfrown was a Muic-nccpjr and bore a good reputation. Hh was killed in his own store is the result of a row with Snowden over forty cents, the price of eight bottles of sodawater. It seems that some Dther negroes agreed to pay for :he soda-water if Snowden would drink it all. He did so md the parties failed to pay him :he money. Then he d? manded rom Brown the return of his noney. Brown refused and when Snowden cursed him, tried :o put him out of the store, ^fter a struggle the men were separated and shortly after Brown fell dead.An examination showed several knife wounds, me of which had penetrated the leart. Eye-witnesses of the encoun:er say that they failed to see a * * ? - r il _ _ weapon in trie nanas 01 euner )f the men. The inquest was held on Sunlay by Magistrate L L Rodgers md a verdict rendered that the ieceased came to his death from i knife wound, indicted by Epps Snowden. Sheriff Graham brought Epps Snowden, the slayer, to Kings:ree Sunday morning and comnitted him to jail. Snowden :laims tha-t Brown assaulted lim with a foot-adz and that he stabbed him in self-defense. In :orroboration of his side of the iffair Snowden showed a cut on lis scalp, which was sewed up yy a physician after he was wrought to town. Scholarships for Young Women.'

Mr Isaac Bardin of Charleston, | is visiting in town. i The Lake City Pythian Excursion from Dillon to Charleston last Wednesday was in every respect a decided success. It had the elements of a good crowd, good weather, punctual I schedule, good order and good receipts. The crowd filled ten cars. This wiil give a pretty fair idea of of *he number of people. The train left Dillon on | time and with two car-loads. J Lake City furnished about ! enough to fill three cars. All 0 other stopping points supplied recreation seekers, especially Latta, Florence, Scranton and Cades. The day was fine and was pleasantly spent, a large part going to the Isle of Palms and the rest remaining in the 1 city. The best of order was i maintained. There was not a single unpleasant incident to mar the occasion. Every one from whom we have he<ml an expression declares that it was, , all in all, the most pleasant excursion in which he or she had I a part. The whole matter was summed up by a delicate, refined lady,who stated to us that it was the most gentlemanly and ladylike crowd of excursionists she ever came in contact with. No one can ask a higher compliment than this. The party left Charleston promptly at 10 o'clock and all Immc on vood time. This writer has not learned the exact amount of net profits, but it was about $150 to $175. In behalf of the lodge we want to thank the committee in charge, the committees at the different stations and everybody who helped as and everybody who went on this pleasant trip.
