The Georgetown Pee Dec Times of the
29th inst. says:
On Wednesday morning last, warrcnt
was issued against ono Rowell, of notor-
Gus notoriety in Williamsburg district,
on the affidavit Of his wife. The Sheriff
dispatched deputy and posse Of som,
five or six men, who overlook Rowcll some
8 miles from town. As soon as Rowell saw
his pursucrs approaching, he alightcd from
his horse, and lifted his wife to the saddle,
for he had made her walk the entire distance
and then posting bimsclfin the road rs they
rode up, he presented his double barrel gun,
supported by his right hand, md with re-
volver of six barrels in his lcf, and foming
at the mouth like wild hog, said he would
kill the whole company if they dared ap-
proach him one step, urging the necessity
OF his course from the ncud Of 5 or suf-
fcriug children at home. The deputy, who
was near enough TO sec tho sun shining in
the muzzlc of the nradman's gun, withdrew
his company, very properl:', end returned to
town, they having, very properly, no wea-
pons with them. Horrible to rolnte. the
man Rowell, proceeded on his way to his
distressed children, and in their presence, Il
is said, murdered his We, under circum-
stances of atrociW that would have shock
cd a savage in his most bcnighted day.
Rowell, we understand has bcAn arrest,
and committed to the Jail Of Williamsburg
on Monday. We give no detail of the facts,
as Rowcli is in Jail to await his trial In No.

The Elephant Romeo

The mournful occurrence alluded to in
yesterdays paper, induced US to make some
inquiry into the special circumstances of the
case, when we learned as follows

1916, was 30 or 40 years old, and belonged

pany. For nearly nine years Mr.. George
West had been his keeper, and had him un-
der good control.
After leaving Camden, on Sunday morn
ing, on his way to Columbia, he showed an
unruly temper, as he occasionally done, and
IL became necessary TO use some severity
with him 10 control him. Upon reaching n
bridge, few miles on tho road. he broke n
plank and refuscdto cross, and upon being
pressed, struck horse blow which
knocked him off the bridge, ripped him open
and killed him. He was led around aud
made to ford the creek. After crossing he
started up the hill, and was called to by his
keeper and stopped, but few minutes after
he attempted to take wrong road, at q fork

about one hundred and fifty balls were fired

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Business Sketch of a Business Man

We copy tho following sketch Of the
life ofa very extraordinary man, from an
editorial in N. Y. Sun:
AS an illustration Of business tact
and talent, we may point to the career Of
Professor Holloway, the proprietor OF the
most popular medicines OF the age. The
rise and progress Of this extraordinary
nan have had no parallel during tho pre-
% Hs has sss xisitsa nearly lyrf.s sSs.
sion for the sale Of his preparations from
most Of the crowned heads OF the Old
World. The queens Of Spain and Portu-
gal, the kings Of Naples AMI S,rdiuia,
granted him audiences; aud in st. Peters
burg, which city he visited short time
before the commencement Of the war, he
was treated with marked consideration by
the late Cxar an'l ia nobility.
Travelling in an elegant private car
risge, attended by courier, ,his equipsge
attracted attention in the towns and
villages through which he passed. The
hotels where he lodged were beseiged by
persons OF the iist distinction and the best
society OF the continent coarted his ac.
quaintance.
'The subject Of these rewar,ls is un-
qnestionably an ambitious man, and his
skill an enterprize have placed him far
in advance Of all his predecessors and
contemporaries in the same profession.-
He stands alone; and the fact that he can
maintain his high position, despite the
interested assaults Of envy and presuinp
ton, proves that his medicines have an
intrinsic value, which the world under.
stands aud appreciates.
Tho sums expended in advertising by
Professor Holloway would I've incredible
il they were not authenticated by his books
Ills payments to the press range from
$l5o,0O0 To $780, 900 per annum. Thore
is no printed language in which his ad-
yertiscmen;s DO not appear.
The ramiications Of his business extend
from the focal point--his vast establish
ment in the Strand, London--oyer the
whole face Of tho earth.
"This extraordinary man is now in this
country, in this city. The Tribune, in a
just tribute to his matchless enterprise,
says, that baving,likc Alexander ,subdued
the Old World, he is now preparing TO
conquer the Now.
Professor Holloway has not been
tempted hither by thirst for gain for
his wealth Is sufficient to satisfy the most
exigeant worshipper Of mammon, but by
philanthropic desire to extend the bene-
ut OF bis medicines among people whose
character he admires. Everybody Il, OF
course, anxious 20 see the greatest adver-
tiser IN the world. In very short peri.
cd the American reputation OF HoIloway's
Pills and Holloway's Ointment will rival
their European fame"
