at Palestine, Texas In a recent letter to a
friend in this city Mr. Murray relates bis
experience when the train was held" up and
robbed about two weeks ago. On that night
j trie train was earning two Express Cars.,
j When the train was stopped Mr. Murray was
I at work in one car. which was filled with
j peaches in crates, while his companion was in
? lae other car in which w&s the safe ard money

his head out of ?he car door to see what was
; the matt?r. As he did so, a pistol WHS dis
t charged aimost in his face and a ball buried
i itself in tSe car door clos? by his head. The

I Insane.
i John 7. Welsh, of Mayesvi?le, attracted
j attention to himself at the Atlantic Coast
i Line depo'an Monday morning by Ins strange
actions. He confided to several gentlemen
that he h?d commit led a crime in this city
6 years ago, on aocount of which the negroes
were trying to lynch him, avid asked them
whether they thought it s:ife for him to attempt
to board the train for Coiumoia. He imag?
ined that someone would shoot him the mo?
ment he left the depot and stepped out on ihc
platform, yet seemed anxious to get to Colum?
bia.
Policeman Beik after a time arrested him'
and brought him up to the office of the Judge
ol Probate where he was examined by Dr
Archie China and Dr. Lawton and pro?
nounced insane, lie gave up two pistols to
Policeman Beik, and a hundred or more car?
tridges. He had $39 on his person which fae
turned over to Col. Walsh.
In giving an account of himseif he said that
when he got up on Sunday morning he
could hear the negroes talking all around him
anout lynching him. To escape them he j
wen: four miles from Mayesvilie and bid ia |
Mr. Sam Graham s corn tieid. When it be
came dark he set out for thi* place, intending j
ta ?o to Columbia -/. here he thought be would
be s ile;. He said that all aiong he could hear
negroes talking ahead of him and behind i
him about lynching John Welch. Whenever :
the voices would sound near he would go !
into the woods and wait with his cocked ;
pistol ia his hand. He was on the road all
night and did not meet anyone. And it is a
lucky thing that he did not meet a negro, for
if he had, he would, without doubt, have shot
thc sne he met. He is not violent with while i
people, and made DO resistance when taken
in Custody, and declares that while willing |
for the wbi>e people to hang bim ir he has ;
committed any crime, is equally emphatic in j
declaring that he will uot be lynched by the j
negroes
He will be taken to the Asylum as soon as
th? authorities in Columbia return the papers
which were seut over yesterday.

Mr. C. M. Hurst, JV , one of the most un?
tiring and eScient workers of the association,
delivered an address, sketching the history of

'outlining the gteater work that the end of
the ccrri'ingyear, it is hoped', will find accom?
plished.
Dr. C C. Brown next spoke tn response to
the exietislon of the work\ io that interesting
manner peculiar to himself.
The association intends to extend the work
into those practical lines in which so much
of good ha? been-aacomplished in other places'
Dr. Brown sliowed that this work was
not only practical and within the scope of the
organizion, but almost essential to its
growth anJ prosperity.
The association must go onward in the
effort to help all young men and its member?
ship especially, to help themselves materially
as well as spiritually. The gymnasium' must
be perfected, a night school must be estab?
lished, reading circles organized and no effort
spared to enable the your>? men to become,
by their own exertions cultured and worthy
members of the society.

A Mysterious Poisoning.
One of the most mysterious cases af poison?
ing ever happening in this section occurred
on last friday evening at Mrs. Annie Hat?
field's, where seven persons came near dying,
and are stj? very sick. The facts, ns fclearn,
are these : Mr's. Hatfield cooked a chicken pie
for dinner, of which several persons ate s'orne,
the rriv cf the pie was pat u;V for supper.
During the evSnir.g someof thechildien again
ate of the pie. At supper .Mrs. Ha.jfiejd aad
two of her children, Miss Lottie. Haifie'd sud
little brother, and Samuel and Robut Hat?
field, brothers of Mrs. Hatfield, iLoished the
pie, and ia a few minutes all '.Vere ??ken with
violent vomiting and severe pains, with other
distressing symptoms. Dr. Britton was called
in and pronounced it poison, of what nature
I am not able to learn, as I have not seen
him*
Mrs. Hatfield left her house for about thirty
j minutes just before supper, and whoever did
this diabolical act did it in ber ahsonce;as the
.:pie was covered up closely on the table:
i Robert Haifield, who did not rtt sipper
until the rest had eaten, started for tba doctor
when the others were taken sick, arid was
'himself taken sick on the-road, and was found
Mn the woods helpless.
j Mrs. Hatfield* is a peaceful and q:?iet lady,
[and the motive to destroy her in this-diaboli
cal way is a mystery, as she is universally
liked abo;nbere.

SHILOH, S. C., July 14 1893.
We witnessed an interesting add highly
amusing game of base ball a few evenings
ago between th'e New Torin ''Yellow Jackets '
and the Shiloh ''Zouaves" but the "Y. J's,"
failed to observe old Napoleon Bonaparte's
pian or manner of dealing with his opponents

I you could possibly possess-and were defeat
j ed and s*So?' ''swarmed" and left, wiser if
? not better boys. The score stood IO to 24 in
I favor of- of courte, the Zouaves. The
j Zouaves display marked improvement in every
j trame they play of late, and are nor afraid to
! tackle any dub iu the county,
i The weather continues hot and is getting
? distressingly dry. Corn is badly damaged
I aud is snort in this section, at least 25 to 40
j percent. Cot'.qn has .improved a little, but
j is beginning to surfen for rain. Gardens are
i being burned completely, up.
The health of this community is good,
i Passing along the road two evenings ago,
I I met u.' with a man just as he c&oe-Jn from
j the swamp. He bad three little young fleh and
j was, as he said, hurrying home to have them
j fried. Wbsn asked if he got many bites, lie
j exclaimed, "bites f why that is all I did
J get. Just looir at my face." I then, to my
surprise, discovered that it was my esteemed j
friend and neighbor, Mr. .Robt. Chandler,
though badly disfigured. I soon understood
the exclamation and decided that I had bet?
ter move on, as he bad a look of desperation
in his eyes. The mosquitoes are unusually
bad in Pudding Swamp and the fishermen
can get all the bites they wish.

. Mr. D*. F. Dixon made an assignment of bis
grocery business O' Monday to his former em
ployeej Mr. W. M. Lcilis The liabi'ittes
araouBt to $3F.500, tbi principa? ^-editors be?
ing John C. Weiters and 6eo. W..Steffens &
Go., of Charleston. The stob'i on hand t3
valued at ?600, and' there are {recounts which
will make the nominal assets about equal to
the liabilities.
Mr. Dixon has heretofore conducted a suc?
cessful easiness, but the recent stringency
seriously atrected his tra'de and collections
When the fact became known that he would
apply for, ancrwas likely to sectfre the posi?
tion of county dispenser, his creditors began
to press hirh for accoSnts ehre, and*'w?n"'d
ship him no more goods on time. Hence "the
nseuznment became necessary.- Camden

? Pure Baking Powdtf?
A baking powder that can he depended
upon to be free from lime and al?m is a
?jdesideratum in the days of adulterated food.
So far as can be judged from the official re?
ports, the ''Royal" seems tobe the only one
yet found by chemical analyses to be ?ntirely
without one or the other of these substances,
. and absolutely pure. This, it is shown, re?
sults from the exclusive use by its' manufac?
turers of cream of tartar, specially refined
and prepared'by patent processes which totally
remove all impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and it is used in no
baking powder except the "Royal,!' the
manufacturers of which control the patents
under which it is refined.
Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical
chemist for the U. S Government, who mader,
the analyses for the New York State Board
of Health in their investigation of baking.
r powders, and whose intimate knowledge of1
the ingredients of all those sold in this market
.enables hi n to speak authoritatively, says
'of the purity wholesomeness and superior
quality cf the "Royal :"
"I find the Royal Baking Powder composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a
cream of tartar powder, rind does not contain
either rf! ti m. or phosphate*, or other injurious
is. ostance."
Prof. Love's tests, and the recent officiai
tes'ts by both the United States and Canadian
Governments, show the Royal Baking Pow?
der to be superior to all others in strength and
.leav?Qiag power. It is not only the most
economical in use, but makes the purest, finest
flavored and most who'esorae food.

HARRIS- LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C;
After a long And varied experience in the use of Mineral Waters from raatly sources,

efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder unequaled by any other
water of whirh I have made trial. ' ? ; ? - ....... . .
This opinion is based upon observation of ?\s effect* upon my patients for the past
three years, during which time I have perscribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit

When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed ittoinsuincient use of the .Water,
