Chesterfield County?Sheriff Douglas and Deputy Hurt?Posses Pursue Wife of James Davis, Who Escapes After Husband Meets Death in Glowing Embers of His Home. McBEE, Sept. 28.?J. M. King, a member of the sheriff's posse, was shot and instantly killed and Sheriff D. P. Douglass and Deputy J. R, Abbot were painfully wounded todav in t.rvinO> tn dontnro Tr. nrtno Hnitio a negro desperado, who fought to the last and is believed to have perished in the ruins of the burning house near Middlendorf, this county, where he had been besieged since early morning. Davis' wife, who aided him in his defense and subsequently escaped, is being sought by a posse. Then end came after a battle with the negro in which many shots were fired. Summoned by Lester Burr, ginners' report man for this county, who had been fired on by the negro yesterday, and other prominent men, the sheriff and his deputy went to Middlendorf early today. Arriver there, they found the object of their search, and the deputy at once demanded his surrender. The First Fight. As the officer approached the negro whipped out his pistol and open ed fire. In the fusillade which followed both officers were wounded? Sheriff Douglas in the right leg and Deputy Abbott in the left hand? and the negro, the sheriff thinks, was also hit. Davis fled into his cabin nearby and there barricaded himself. Assisted by his wife, he prepared for defense. Davis' house was well prepared for a siege. The negro was heavily armed and had a quantity of ammunition. With his wife, who had assisted him in the first fight with the officers, he was able to put up * desperate resistance. Sheriff Douglass, though wounded, remained in charge of the situation, and went to McBee for reinforcements, leaving a small party on guard to see that the negro did not escape. At McBee the wounded sheriff raised a posse and soon returned to the scene ready to take the house by storm if necessary. There werejM signs of life, and the posse be>Hf a search for the negro. ^ Mr. King stooped do4vn to look under the house and was greeted by a shot from the negro's weapon. The bullet took effect almost squarely between the eyes and the brave constable fell dead. Undaunted by the sudden fire, the officers continued their efforts to take the desperado. The house was surrounded and then was fired, the object being to force the negro into the open. The heat and smoke proved more than Davis could stand and he dashed from the burning house, only to be met by a volley of lead. Seemingly hard hit, he turned back and sought shelter beneath the blazing structure. Cowers 'Neath Blazing Beams. There, hidiner from thp hnllata the posse, the negro cowered, while the flames ate their way through the frail building. 'The roof and floor fell in; the negro had not appeared. That he burned to death beneath the house which had given him refuge while he pour ed forth his fire at the officers is almost certain. Davis' wife had escaped while the sheriff was prone, it is supposed, as there was no trace of her when the posse returned. A posse is now searching for her. J. M. King, the dead man, had been living here for several months. He was magistrate's constable for this district. He was married and leaves a wife and eight children. Davis is said to have been a very bad character. It is believed that he was wanted in North Carolina for crime committed there. Sheriff in Columbia. D. } *. Douglas, sheriff of Chestei field countv, who wounded in the ngnt with the negro desperado near McDee yesterday, was brought to a hospital in Columbia last night. He was suffering from a flesh wound in the right leg. His condition is considered serious, it was stated at the hospital last night.

You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store . was a place to get something "just as good." There is at least one drug- , gist in the world that you can't say this about.
