From the Daily Item Februa y 14.
Mrs. X. S. McLeod, of Oswego, was
burned yesterday and is a in a critical
condition, although it is hoped that
her injuries are not fatal.
Her dress caught on fire while -she j

Assassin Used Shotgun Loaded With
Buckshot-Jim DeSaussure Arrested
and Jailed in Bishopville for the
Grime-Had Made Attempt to Poi?
son His Victini's Entire Family Only
a Fen Days Ago.
From The Daily Item February 20.
One of the most cowardly and das?
tardly crimes that has ever been com?
mitted in ibis section of South Caroli?
na occurred about 7 o'clock last night
! ?n Mr. A. C. Durant's plantation, near
Bishopville.
Mr. H. R. Barnes, a hardworking
and prosperous young farmer who
rented a portion of Mr. Durant's
place for several years, was shot and
probably fatally wounded whiie "sitting
in his bed room, near an open window
playing with two of his little children.
The assassin crept up under cover of
darkness and at close range shot Mr.
Barnes in the back with a shotgun j
loaded with buckshot. Eleven shot
took effect in the back just below the
light shoulder blade and passed
through the upper lobe of the right
lung. Five of the shot passed entire?
ly through, while six were found,
lodged just beneath the skin of the
chest. The wound inflicted was a fear?
ful one and though Dr. Manning was
summoned immediately from Bishop?
ville and gave Mr. Barnes every at?
tention possible it is feared he cannot
recover. Mr. Barnes, accompanied by
Dr. Manning, his wife and several
friends, was brought to the infirmary
here this morning, but while still
alive and conscious when he arrived,
it is fen red that he has scarcely one
chance in a thousand of recovery.
At the same time that Dr Manning
was called to attend the wounded mau
gherin! Muldrow was notified of the
attempt to assassinate Mr. Barnes o nd
he, with several deputies, hastened to
the scene to make an investigation
and if possible run ?own the assassin.
While no one saw the man who com?
mitted the cowardly crime, as he made
his escape as soon as he fired the fa
shot, while Mrs. Barnes and the
her members of the family were giv?
ing all their attention to the wounded
r.rra circumstances directed suspicion
to Jini DeSaussure, a negro about 20
years old, who lived-in the neighbor?
hood. When Sh?fiff Muidrbw went to
DeSaussure's house he found him at
home/ He denied knowledge of the as?
sault on Mr. Barnes and also that he
had a gun. A-search of the house re?
sulted in finding the gun concealed be
tween the mattresses of the bed, and
when examined it appeared to have
been recently discharged. Jim was
taken into custody and carried to
Bishopville where he was committed
to jail. There was some talk, as is
frequently the case when the people
are outraged and excited by a crime
of this character, of dealing out quick
punishment, but Sheriff Muldrow pre?
vented anything of this kind and
landed his prisoner safely in jail.
The reason that Jim DeSaussure was
so promptly suspected was that he was
known to harbor a-grudge against Mr.
Barnes. Last fall DeSaussure broke
Imo and robbed Mr. Barnes' commis?
sary. He was arrested, given a pre?
liminary hearing before a magistrate
! and bound over for trial at the next
! I
j term of court for Lee county, which
court convenes in Bishopville next J
Monday. Thc negro was released on
bond and continued living in the I
neighborhood. A week or ten days
ago some ene made an unsuccessful
attempt to poison Mr. Barnes and
family by putting a bag of matches in
his well. This crime was frustrated
by accident. Mr. Barnes detecting a pe?
culiar odor about the water when he
wont to the well early one morning
to get a bucket of water. He made an
investigation and finally discovered the
bag of matches in the well. There
.? ere circumstances then that pointed
to DeSaussure as the guilty man. but
?here was no proof to fasten the sus?
picion oh him. so nothing could be
done.
Ye terday DeSaussure worked for
.Mr. John r. Kelley, but knocked off
before G o'clock. On his way home he
stopped at a negroes house and in
dui ed a negro boy to go with him. tell?
ing him that he ord to go off last night
and wanted him to stay with his wife.
As son]: as he got bonn- he took his
gun and left, without toiling his wife
or the boy where he was going. Ke
returned between S:S0 and o'clock
and hid the gun in the bod where
Sheriff Muldrow subsequently found it.
rp to this morning DeSaussure had
been unable to give any satisfactory
account of his movements between the
time he left home and his return near
tho hour of !? o'clock. There are other
circumstances that point to his guilt
that will come out at his trial and as?
sist in perfecting the chain of evidence
that will prove him to be guilty of the
crime.

AS 3EVII>EXCJE OF THE GROWTH
OF TK;: ?AMECOCK CITY.
! statement From Contractors Relative
{ io Btdirlirigs Contracted for and in
Process of Construction.
It has been a noteworthy fact for
more than a year that there are no
desirable * residences for rent in the
city. The people have, through the
force of necessity, been compelled to
build houses of their own. and so to?
gether with the lumbermen, hardware
dealers and building supply houses,
the Building and and Loan Associa?
tions of the city have, also, prospered.
There are a number of houses that
are nov,- being remodeled and im?
proved, and besides these, tenant
"nouses, elegant homes, churches, fac?
tories and other buildings for com?
mercial enterprises are in the process
of construction and are indicated in
the list given below.
From interviews with the leading
contractors of the city, the Item's re?
porter learns that the following are
the principal buildings that are nov;
being erected or for which plans
have been made:
Court house, Presbyterian church.
Methodist church, Methodist parson?
age, J. J. Harby, et al., on Dugan
street; J. M. Hardy. Church street; H.
J% Karby. Church and Calhoun street;
D. P. Kelly, Calhoun street; Schwartz
Bros., four houses cn Hampton ave?

Neill O'Donnell, circular colonial resi?
dence. East Liberty street: Episcopal
church, corner Main and Calhoun

Fuel Co. warehouses near C. S. & X.
depot; Mutual Ice C-rv-pany, Dr. E.
Mood Smith, residence. W. '".'"hour,
street: 3. J. Blackwell, rr--dence Oak?
land avenue; T. B." Jenkin.:, two stone
houses Oakland avenue; T. E. Evans,
two houses near waterworks; Von
Oshen & Shirer, large additions to
?hop:- on Hampton avenue; Col. Tom
Wilson, residence on Broad* street; D.
R. Mccallum, Jr., residence on Broad
street; M. B. Randall, residence on
Washington street; Kennedy Bros.,
five houses near Supply Company:
Bartlett Street Baptist church. Catho?
lic church on East Liberty street; J.
H. Chandler, Church street; Sam Prin?
gle, rer-idence on Dingle street.
At a ceonservative estimate the
buildings listed above will require the
expenditure of more than $200,000,
and there are numbers of other build?
ings in process of construction not
mentioned.
The land on which the Sumter Fuel
and Lumber Company will erect its
buildings has been secured from Mr.
".. C. Haynsworth. A lot containing
nearly four acres at the foot of Cal?
houn street has been purchased and
work on the buildings will commence
at once.

BOOZY LEGISLATOR SCRAP.
AN INCIDENT OF THE CLOSFNG
I HOURS OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
I *
j -.
A Senator and a Repi*esentatiTe Have
a Soiccfc Down and Drag Ont Af?
fray in the Main Lobby of the State
i louse.
Columbia, February ID.-The ten?
sion between tho two houses of the
general assembly over the dispensar'
situation was not entirely free ft om
a mark of violence after all. The in?
cident, though for a time it looked as
if it would result seriously passed off
finally without, attracting much atten?
tion in the city. In fact it was trace
able more to the direct internal ap?
plication of the dispensary than to
any psycological condition brought
about by varying opinion as to how
the whiskey problem should be solved
for the commonwealth at large. It
was a case of spontaneous combus?
tion. The clash was in the nature of
a Sst fight in the main lobbly undei
the dome sklyight in front of the li?
brary doors between a senator and a
member of the House, and happened
about 3 o'clock Sunday morning
(though the Legislative clock was
standing dutifully at a- few minutes to
midnight as a result of thc sergeant
at-arms frequent application, of his
long pole to the hands.) Eoth were a
bit "woozy" and therefore not entire?
ly responsible, as was the condition
of a number of other members who
had taken bracers against the cold
wave while waiting to ratify the last
batch of acts.
There had been more or less loud
talking, stumbling round and brag?
ging about the relative astuteness and
wisdom of the .two Houses, when the
senator applied a vile epithet to the
member of the Housed who promptly
knocked him down. The representa?
tive is tall and powerful, but he is not
frequently placid and dignified; in
fact his feelings are easily and pro?
foundly stirred by his own oratory
>r that of other members of the house*
h.; senator had not finished his in
aie when the representative's long
.rm shot his fist^under the senator's
nose with the impressive force of a
locomotive driving rod. But the sen?
ator's friends did not have to pick
him up; he was on his feet in a jiffy
lunging at the tall one. who was
pricing about with a dozen members
swinging to him. They were dragged
apart, but they could not be quited
amii they had been taken out of ^R.ch
other's view.
After their friends had labored
with them about an hour, pacifying
them and pumping them full of ad?
vice and patriotism and other things
the belligerents were brought togeth?
er again for a peace conference. But
it would have taken more than Roose?
velt to get those two together. The
negotiations had hardly opened be?
fore the senator punched the repre?
sentative in the nose, hopping up to
get to him. That dreadful long arm
went out again and the senator caught
the blood from his mouth and nose in
his hand. The sight of it enraged
bim. and his shouting for "a pistil,
a pis^rW. everything I've got for a pis?
tol." as he danced about to get his
hands Into the hip pockets of those
holding him would have " made the
gentleman who got famous for offer?
ing his kingdom for a horse look like
a house local op rion bill trying, to get
through the Senate. He wanted to
shoot and also kill the blankety
blanlc-blank, and the blankety'-blank
b'a ak was prancing to get at him.
But they are both good and useful
citizens and no good is to be accom?
plished by holding their names up to
the public gaze. McCaw.
ROBERT SCOTT HANGED.
Kiugstree. February 1G.-Robert
Scott was hanged here today for the
murder of Mr. Julian Wilson, on the
13th of last October. The prisoner
exhibited unusal composure even un?
til the last moment of his life, assert?
ing his innocence and denying any
knowledge whatever of the crime.
SENT TO THE ASYLUM.
Drs. F. K. Bolman and C. W.
Birnie, who examined Willie White,
the horse etbief. Wednesday, decided
that be veas a lunatic and dangerous to
himself and others. He w%s therefore
sent to Columbia on Thurlday? to be

A SHOE F?OT?BY.
j iS SEEKING LOCATION IN THIS
CITY.
Eckhardt cc Son, shoe manufactur?
ers of Lynn, Mass., are seeking a
Southern location and in consequence
of the efforts of Mr. Willie Bultman
j the chane? s for Sumter securing this
j plant are most encouraging,
j Eultman Brothers have for. some
I time past been contemplating the es?
tablishment of a factory for the mak
I ing of shoes in this city, and it was
?through a lengthy correspondence
with the Eoot and Shoe Record, the
leading shoe journal of the" country,
thac their attlntion was directed to
the firm of Eckhardt & Son. who have
been impressed with the advantages
that the South affords for a manufac?
turing enterprise of the kind that they
were conducting, and who have re?
cently determined to change the loca
i tion of their plant from the North to
some enterprising and progressive city
j of the South. ?
|^ The proposition that these gentlemen
aro now placing before the people of
Sumter seems fair enough. They have
a thoroughly equipped factory, all the
'necessary machinery and from two to
three thousand dollars worth of pat?
terns and lasts. If the people cf Sum?
ter can furnish capital from $10,000
to $15,000 they will ship their entire
equipment to Sumter and/ locate their
! factory in our town.
These . gentlemen desire it under?
stood that they do not expect to stay
in the of?ce and dictate to subordi?
nates, but will give to the work their
personal supervision.
Messrs. Eckhardt & Sons, stated in
a letter to Messrs. Bultman Bros., of
this city, that they can employ labor
in the South for 25 per cent, less than
the salaries paid in the North, and
even with this reduction in wages that
thc Southern employes will make
more than they ever have before. It
is their intention to bring with them
such skilled labor as will be necessary
to instruct the new employes, but the .
vast majority of those employed in the
factory will be taken from the city
and surrounding country in which
the factory is located. In three months'
time, these gentlemen say the green
hands will be converted into expert
operators.
This is certainly a proposition that
we cannot afford to let go by; and
after investigation, if the plant is
such that it would add to our commer?
cial prosperity, immediate steps should
be taken to secure it. Mr. Willie
Bultman is in possession of all the
particulars of the enterprise and di?
rect information may be obtained,
from him.
