Columbia, S C, July 5:-The news from Atlanta that James W Johnson had been shot and probably mortally wounded, after an attempt to rob ' the postoffice of a suburb of that ? ?^ kaM nrifV* orrost city, was icwtiycu ucic interest. Johnson, who, during his long career as a yeggman, has used the aliases, Edward Murphy Edward Howard, Edward Smith, George Howard 1 and "Portland Ned," is most gener ally known under the latter alias 1 and bears the reputation of being one of the shrewdest as well as one : of the most dangerous yeggmen in the country. In August, 1911, after having com pleted a seven-year term in the Fed, eral prison at Atlanta, Johnson was brought to South Carolina, indicted on a charge of blowing a safe atEnoJ ree, S C, and sentenced to serve ten years in the State penitentiary here.

A full corps of buyers, representing the largest manufacturers in the world were on the sales and competitive bidding was lively over each lot sold. From Nelson's warehouse the crowd went to Morgan's, where the scene was a lively one from start to finish with good prices prevailing. From Morgan's warehouse^ they went across the street to Gorrell's, and here the scene was no less animated while the big auctioneer's voice rang out through the crowd as. hej cried the prices bid he numerous buyers. Kilt is roughly estimated that about 85,000 pounds of tobacco were sold by the three warehouses here to day. Many of'Kingstree's charming ladies were in attendance upon the sales, and while neither buyers nor consumers, their presence added much interest to the occation.
