increased, Notwithstanding The feeling Of
apathy that seemed TO prevail in all '.ons
Ut our county. We have, entertained hgi lit.
tic hone of the success Of Che Liberal ticket
since the October elections, but were still un-
prepared Tor the Waterloo defeat that the rc-
turns received here seem to indicate aud We
are til hopeful that more full returns will
modify. to a considerable extent, the result in
dicaied by the meagre Returns received. II

HOMICIDE.
A acriou. shooting affay occurred here on
Monday last between our t1wu-man Pearson
Miller and Lindsey W. Mckee, Of Anderson
county, resulting in the immediate death Of
Mckee and the serious wounding Of Miller
We learn that the difficulty originated in a
business transaction between the parties. Nc
Kee was connected with a lightning rod cong
pany and had traded note upon party in
this vicinity 10 Miller for some cheap watches
but failed 90 deliver the note at the time The
trade was made lie subsequently became dis
satisfied and returned the watches to Miller
and demanded q RECESSION 81 the contract. Mil
Ter refused to take them back, remarking that
he was not in the habit Of making childrcn's
bargains 4 few morc words passed between
them when Mckee drew small Smith a
Wc-son pi.iol and commenced shooting and
fired three or four shots at Miller before he
could get his pistol, one taking effect in his
JNIillersl forehead. Miller then fired, the bail
taking effect In McKecs right shoulder. The
second shot entered the left temple and ranged
downward toward the base Of the skull. Nc
Zee va. Immediately removed to Dr. Castel-
los Office where his wounds were carefully tx
amned by DR.. Frisbie and CASTILLO, but be
fore the examination was completed he cx-
pircd. lie asked to be raised up-was the
only time he spoke after the second -hot Wa
received.
SELF DEFENSE
Miller seems to regret the affair exceedingly,
but it Is universally conceded that he was en-
tircly iustidablc, and acted altogether in self
defense in the matter.
