of business, at Greeleyville last Friday.
Subsequently, the same day, the dispute was
renewed at Mr. Holleman's store, near his

Mr. Holleman with a pistol. The ball took
effect in the side of the face, ranged upward
and striking the cheek-bone changed its
eonrse and passed through the roof into the
mouth, wbere it could not be traced any

Last night about midnight Mr. William M.
DeLorme who had retired in perfect bea?th,
waked his wife, saying he was going to die.
Two hours later, he was dead. The cause of
this sudden death was congestion of the

ing atmosphere. Mr. DeLorme has for many

A. A. Solomons and has a large circle of ac?
quaintances. He leaves a wife, two daugh?

attended by large and appreciative audiences.
Persons came many miles to hear him on that
subject which he handles in such a wonderful
manner-temperance. Mr. Howren is full of
that style of humor, which irritates but does
not blister, and is entirely devoid of sensa?
tionalism. Upon his return to Charleston he

critically ill.

The Sumter Postmastership.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The fight over the
postmastership at Sumter is still going on.
The postma>ter general says he had more
trouble over the selection of a postmaster at
that place than he has had over a dozen such
offices. Tuomey, who was a candidate, has
withdrawn all of his papers which he had on
file in the pestoffice department. The post
master-generai will very likely, if no difficulty
arises to prevent him, send the papers to tbe
President either to-morrow or Wednesday.

A. Startling Story Comes from
Charleston.
The Charleston correspondent of the Colum
bia Register, in a letter to that paper dated
May 30, and published in that ptper yester?
day, makes the following astounding state?
ment, which proves clearly how true a guide
is the press, especially when corrupt, to the
trusting publ-c, aod what a palladium it is of
public liberty :
"It is not improbable that the jury ques?
tion will be brought to the attention of the
Governor. Th* correspondent of the Register
to-day had a talk with some of the court
officials, and learned something that has not
yet appeared in print. Sheriff Ferguson said
he would have nothing to do with the draw?
ing of jury, as he regarded the whole proceed?
ing very much in the light of a fraud. It is
said that dining the drawing of the jury for
the February term of the court Inciiss, the
colored Jury Commissioner, who drew the
names out of the box, drew them from one
corner of the box, where, it is supposed, the
slips containing the names of colored men
were bunched together. A suggestion was
made that the box be well shaken up, but this
the commissioner refused, whereupon the
sheriff refused to have anything further to do
with the proc?s?, lt is also said that this
same process was followed at the drawing of
the jury for the May term Tliere was some
talk at the February term of contesting the
legality of the pace!, but ror some reason
nothing came of it. It ?3 recalled now that
ever since 1876 the jury commis?ioner has
always been a colored man. Thc present in?
cumbent is William Ingliss, Jr.. the well
known Charleston Hotel barber, and who has
always been known as a respectable, conserv?
ative, citizen. Still the unusually large num?
ber of colored men drawn on the jury at this
special term of the court looks queer, espe?
cially in view of the facts heretofore alluded
to."
Sheriff Ferguson denies point blank and
emphatically that he has said anything what?
ever about the drawing of- the jury, either
before it was drawn or after,.and he expressed
the desire that the World would set bim right
in the matter.
Dispatches similar to the one we republish?
ed above have been sent to all the papers
taking the Associated Press. As nearly all
of the smaller papers in the South are sup?
plied by this association the accusation there?
in made has been very widely spread, carry?
ing with it an insidious poison which no
amount of printer's ink can eradicate, or
truth heal.
Sheriff Ferguson said that he was not in
the room when the jury was drawn. He is
not required by law to be present or do more
than serve the papers on the jury commission?
ers at the proper time, and he always does
that. Whether a jury is properly drawn or
not, is not for him to say, nor did he say
anything in this case. It is a matter for the
lawyers to settle themselves and he bas noth?
ing to do with it. He was greatly provoked
because the smart correspondent of the Reg?
ister had used his name in such a connection
without his authority, and placed him in such
an awkward position. Therefore he asked the
World to set him right.
William Ingliss, the jury commissioner
against whom the charges of fraud were made,
denies the charge. He is in such a position
that he cannot do more. Ingliss is a gentle?
manly man. He says that ?he names were
stirred up in the l?ox. The box has never in
his time been shaken, but the names are as
thoroughly mixed as if it had been, and even
more so. Besides, the box has been in the
office of the clerk of the court ever since the
last drawing for the court of common pleas
was made for the Fabruary term of court.
He has never seen it except once when he took
the list out of it, in the early part of March.
It was returned soon after without anything
being touched. The next time he saw it was
on the table in the room where the jury was
drawn. The idea that he put the names of
the colored men in one corner together, he
says is preposterous.
Besides, he said, he doe3 not believe that
there are more than 500 names of colored
men in the box, out ofa total of 1700. In put?
ting these name in, he used the utmost cau?
tion to secure the names of only those who
were good and worthy citizens, He knew
how colored men were criticised when put
upon a jury, and therefore was doubly care?
ful. He said that he would have preferred
not to have drawn so many colored men, as
he knew what opprobrium would have been
heaped upon him. - Charleston World, June 1.
CHARLESTON, S. C., May 29.-A good deal
of comment is caused here by the complexion
of the jury panel which wa3 drawn yesterday
in the Session Court. The panel is to try
McDow for the murder of Capt. F. W. Daw?
son, the Court meeting on the third" Monday
in June. Out of the 36 jurymen drawn 14
are negroes, a proportion unprecedented since
1875, when the negroes held control of the
court. There are no negroes to be triad for j
murder at the coming term. Some of the
friends of the murdered editor think that the
jury box has been tamperod with in the inter?
est of the murderer McDow. They say that
the proportion of negroes in the jury is unu?
sual and unprecedented It is well known
that shortly before his death Capt. Dawson
had incurred the enmity of a number of the
leading colored preachers by an editorial ar?
ticle which was accredited to him. In the
article in question he urged Governor Rich?
ardson against the pardon of the negro lynch?
ers in Pickens County who were under sen?
tence of death for lynching a white man who
had assaulted a colored girl. It was inti?
mated in the article that virtue was not held
as high and as dear among colored women as
among the whites. Soon after the publica?
tion of this article the negro preachers held a
meeting and decided to boycott Captain
Dawson. Three of the leading colored min?
isters refused to go into the boycott; one
Methodist, one Episcopalian. The boycott
consisted in denouncing the editor and his j
paper from the pulpit and in withdrawing
their church notices and giving them to the
opposition paper. These are the reasons that
cause uneasiness among the friends of the
murdered editor. The jury commissioner is a
colored man. The feeling is very intense.
Greenville News.
The Charleston World is out this morning
with a very savage attack on thestatemeut
ane^t the drawing of the jury for the June
term of court. Ii was to be expected that it
would do so ; it was in keeping with its pol?
icy. The Register correspondent, however, is
prepared to suhstantiate everything that was
published in this coirespondence, a;:d will do
so nt thv proper time and in the proper man?
ner. The statement published iu the World
that Sheriff Ferguson sought its columns for a
vindication is simply untrue; and this, too
will be shown at the proper time. - Charleston
