~ ' A BOLD OUTRAGE" Greelyvllle Man Struck Down by Unknown Desperadoes. Greelyville, April 27:?Mr Jasper Ward was seriously wounded last night by being struck on the back of his head and in the pit of his stomach with some heavy instrument. He clerks for Mr M D DeLorme and when he closed the store, abut 10 o'clock, he discovered several white men lurking in the shadow of the building, in the rear. He hailed them, but got no response, so went to his room at Mr S J Taylor's, and secured a Wischester rifle and came back to look for them. It is supposed that when he came around the corner of the building his assailant was waiting for him and struck him several severe blows. The local lodge, was in session within fifty yards of Mr DeLorme's store when this happened.They heard the report of Mr Ward's gun, which went orT when he was struck down, and hurried to the scene, but the parties had made good their escape. Bloodhounds were sent for and were on the ground in less than three hours, but the only ones obtained were some puppies that were not trained properly, so they could make nothing of the trail. Mr Ward "was sent to the hospital in Sumter for treatment this morning, but Dr I N Boyd, the attending physician, entertains little hope of his recovery. Mr Ward is from New Orleans, La, having come here only a few months ago. He has made many friends, who wish for him a recovery. R' bberv is supposed to have been motive of the men. Later?Friday two strangers of the "genus hobo" were arrested on s ispicion, but were released after being made to give an account of themselves. At last accounts Mr Ward was esting easy and doing as well as could be expected. Unless a backset occurs it is now thought that he may recover. Crop Outlook Gloomy. Crop conditions reported from various sections of the county are ! discouraging, not to say alarming, [ for this season of the y< ar. In some ' sections there has be^n no rain to' speak of since February and thej moisture has been insufficient to j sprout the seed in the ground, j Where the rain has fallen, the frost J and cold nights have caused the! plants to die and many fields have ! to be re-planted. A prominent 1 farmer in the lower r>art of the ! county told us Monday that this I was the first year within his recollection when he had no crop of any kind up out of the ground this late in the season. The hot sun-shine of the past few , days has b.-e.i particularly dis- j astrous to growing plants, causing them to wither and die. Truck of all kinds, garden vegetables, cotton, corn and tobacco plants?all have been damaged very seriously, what little there was to injure. Althroagh the trucking section beans, which should now be on the market, have been retarded and i the crop will be cut short. In many j parts of the country this crop is said ; to be a total failure. Altogether the outlook is gloomy j indeed, and unless the seasons be j more propitious from now on, the present year will spell disaster for the farmers through this section. An 11,000-ton ship running 15 miles an hour will consume 150 tons of coal per day. A 30,000-ton ship going 30 miles per hour will use up 1,100 tons. Haste makes waste at sea as well as elsewhere. Commander Julius A Prat', Post No. 143, Dept. Ill, G. A. R. Mr Isaac Cook, Commander of above Post, Kewanee, 111., writes: "For a long time I was bothered with backache and pains across my kidneys. About two months ago I started taking Foley Kidney Pills arid soon saw they were doing just as claimed. I kept on taking them and now I am free from backache, and the painful bladder misery- is all gone. I like Foley's Kidney Pills so well that I have told many of my friends and comrades about them and shall recommend them at every opportunity." D C Scott.
