Bulletins were received from time to time from The News and Courier and The State, and from the American Press Association.

Merriman, cashier of the bank here, j committed suicide last night about I 12 o'clock by shooting himself with ' a 32-calibre pistol. Two shots were fired, one entering his right side, penetrating the liver, causing almost instant death. The reports were heard by neighbors, who immediately rushed to the scene, finding the victim lying on the front , porch of his home in an unconscious I condition,with an empty revolver by his side. Physicians, being notified, soon appeared, but found that there was no hope of saving his life. He Jived about thirty minutes, never speaking a word. The finance committee checked over the bank's books this morning and found that the finances of the bank were in first-class condition. A sworn statement was given to this effect. Mr Merriman left the bank Saturday afternoon in a bright and cheerful condition, and was seen on several occasions yesterday and appeared to be in a pleasant mood; but, upon returning to his home last pvpnintr. it is thoucht that on ac count of some domestic trouble he became enraged, and in a fit of passion took his life. Mr Merriman's health hasa't been good for the past several months, and it is quite probable that this constantly preying on his mind figured largely in the affair. Mr Merriman was a young man of sterling character and pleasing disposition. He had won the esteem of the entire community. In the bank he was a most useful man, always giving his business the closest attention. The body will be taken to George1 town, where the interment will take i place. The end of this young man came ! so unexpectedly that it was a shock to this vicinity, and everybody mourns the loss of their beloved townsman.

The entire community rests under a pall of sorrow over the very sad death of this most valuable young man. A Card to Tobacco Growers. Dear Sirs:? We are pleased to advise you that prices on tobacco have slightly advanced and we believe it would be to your advantage to sell now. The European war is still going on and it is beyond the power of man to say when or where it will terminate. So long as it is going on prices on commodities of nearly every class will be affected one way or the other. Many items will soar higher in price while a number of others will go downward. In our opinion tobacco is in the latter class.i and while?it it yet bringing a fair price we advise you to bring it along If you place your tobacco on Gorrell's New Warehouse floor you are positively assured that you will get the highest market price and a square deal in every particular. Yours truly, Gass & Gorrell, 8-27-lt Proprietors. A lard.
