BARGAir KILLED HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW. Homicide in Edgefield County Growing Out of Domestic Troubles. EdgeBeld, August 2b:?Dr Charles Titwell was shot and killed by his brother-in-law, Yancey M May, at Johnston this morning about 0 o'clock. The weapon used was a shotgun. The deceased received two wounds, one a little to the left of the backbone on thp left side and the other in the shoulder. Dr Titwell lived about 30 minutes after he was shot, and it is said that he made an ante-mortem statement to Dr B L Allen, but what it was has not been disclosed. From the testimony taken at the mque3t it appears that the deceased and his wife had had 3ome trouble yesterday, during which he chastised her; that she left and went to her brother-in-law's house and the deceased went-there this morning and endeavored to get her to return home, which she refused to do. During his stay Mr May and Dr Titwell got into an altercation, during which time Mrs Titwell left and went to a neighbor's house. The deceased then came back into the street and was going in pursuit Ut.i Yf ft* l/JL IJI3 W11C| TV I1UU <U1 ?Mi?J on the scene with a shotgun, the contents of which he emptied into the body of Dr Titwell. The shooting occurred some distance from the house of Mr May,and as yet it is not known what the deceased was doing at the time he received his mortal wound. Titwell is from Newberry county and has only lived in Johnston a Bhort while and, it is said, bore an unenviable reputation and had frequently maltreated his wife. Mr May is one of Johnston's best citizens and claims that the killing was entirely justifiable and unavoidable.

' ELECTION CONTEST STILL DRAGS ON. I : BOARD OF CANVASSERS ALLOWS RECOUNT OF BALLOTS AND OVER RULED DEMURRER TO PROTEST. The county board ot canvass-) ;ers, pursuant to adjournment-j ! last Tuesday, August 24, met in' 1 the court house at 11:30 a. m.1 Tuesday, August 31, and announced its readiness to enter ; into a consideration of the con: test filed in the new county election held August 17. The new ; I county interests were represent-} ) ed as before by Attorneys Welch '! ! and Bass,while for the opposing I I side Messrs Lee ?x Askins an-! ' nounced that they had associat- j ed with them Mende! L Smith,; Esq, of Camden. The contestee submitted a de- j ; murrer to the sufficiency of the [ | grounds of protest upon certain! 1 grounds. After argument on this ques-! j tion, pro and con, and, by the j way, it may oe remarnea mat; the demurrer submitted was a remarkably able document, Mr Welch claimed that there had been an agreement between counsel, as he understood it, tot proceed with the recount of the i ballots upon reassembling of the board and insisted that the recount be gone into at once. Messrs tee & Askins denied the existence of such agreement. After argument as to whether the demurrer should be considered or the votes counted, the board ruled by a vote of two to one that the ballots be counted, Messrs J L Gowdy and W E Hanna voting for the recount, while Mr N D Lesesne, the other member of the board,stated that he did not understand that there was any such agreement and de-1 sired to have his objection to the counting of the ballots noted.

After the count was made those entrusted with the recounting of the ballots submitted a tabulation showing the following result: Total number of votes in all the boxes, 1034; for Iiutledge county, 604; against Rutledge county, 368; 42 questionable ballots and live blank. At this time, being well on toward 6 o'clock p. m., it was agreed that the board adjourn % meet at 11 a. m. Wednesday to hear argument by counsel representing either side as to whether the questionable ballots, any or a)} of them, should be counted in the hnal tabulation. It was agreed that the ballot boxes be taken care of in the same way that they were before, that is, by being deposited in a jury room, the door of the room locked and sealed and the key placed in charge of the chairman of the board of canvassers. Wednesday, at 11 a. m., the board of canvassers met again and over-ruled the contestee's demurrer, two to one, Messrs Govrdy and Hanna voting to overrule the demurrer and Mr Lesesne to sustain it.
