Six shot strork Mr. Graham and ooe took effect in the band of bid daughter. Mr. Graham was struck t?y six shot, in tbe foot, legs and band, none of which, BO far as learned are cei:r?u8. The force of tbe shot was probably broken nnd the load scattered by the limbs of a peach tree and the banisters of the piazza, or the result might ba?e been worse. It is thought that there were three persons io the party tbat did tbe shooting, and it is said that suspicion rests on tbat number, but there is no crrtatn evidence ot their identity, and no arrests bave bern made, but there is much excitement in Mayesville over the occur? rence. It is cot known wbat provocation, if aoy, j there was for tbe shooting. ?--a?-- ? aaa-i The Graham Assassins.

Fred Dunlap, a re?pec?aole and thrifty colored man. wbo lires about three miles from Magnoiio and near Wella X Roade, v?as the victim on last Monday night of a part j of outlaws tbat should be apprehended. Be rrcei ed a oo'ice during ?be afternoon that a party would clean him oat that night, hut paid no attention to i', until sometime after dark 12 or 15 people appeared ia bis yard Dunlap, fearing personal iDjury, ran off, after which tbt party set fire to his cot? ton boose wbicb was burnt together with a shed room and buggy shed attached, a 2 horse wagon, harness, eight sacks of fert lizer and about 20 pieces of m:at, a b rrel of rice and other articles They were about to set fire to the barn wben Dunlap's son fired on the pi rt j and caused them to stop But they rame back later in the nigh.: and told Dunlap's wife tbat they would be hack the last of the week and finish up with Fred Dunlap. The above information was r-roogbt to the city to-day ny a gentleman irom Magnolia. He did not know if any of the outlaws were recognized by Dunlap's family. Later information ai to tbe above is tbat the notice was posted oo a tree and not de? livered to Doniap ; also that Dunlap left borne on that evening before dark and spent the night away, returning aboot daybreak. Tba burning took place about 10 o'clock, and there was no crowd seen by bis family-they claim to have seen one or two persons, only A Lake City Lyncher Arrested. Sheriff Pierson arrested Earlie P Lee. white, Monday morning and committed bim tc jul Tbe warrant for bis a rest was issued oy J. H. V. Gaskins, Magistrate at Lake City. Lee H charged with selling a cross-cut saw to L. C. McK nzie the said ?aw being stolen property. Tbe theft was committed oo February 20th, and immedia-ely thereafter Lee left tbe neighoorb..od and came to this city. Since bis arrival in Sumter he bas been working in the Cotton Mill. This is a statement of the case as it appears on tbe face, but there is more bebind it. Lee is said to be one of tb* lynching party tbat burned tbs Lake City post of?ce, killed Post Master B?ker and one child and shot other members of bis family. He is said to be one of tbe mt n who turoisbed the postoffice in? spectors with information tbat led to tbe arrest of tbe other members of the lynching ta ty Newham being tbe other witness.

Sheriff J. D. Daniels, of Williamsburg County came to the city yesterday and took charge uf Lee, and c?rii*d bim to Kingetree last night.
