GROUND AND LOFTY TUMBLINa
Very NEARLY A SERIOUS ACCT
DENT.-A few days ago, while DR..
Parker was crossing the bridge at Nor
toms mill, on Long Cane his horse be-
came frightened at some object and
backed Off the side Of the bridge on
the bank at a considerable elevation.
The horse fell on its back, with one of
the Doctors legs under him. The
Doctors leg was considerably bruised
and his arm was 50 badly hurt that
lac was carrying 1t in q sling on yes
terday' This would have been pre-
vented If there had been banisters to
the bridge.
THE Central Executive Committee
of the Republican party Of Abbeville
County met in secret session In the
Court House on Saturday last and re-
manned in session most of the day
The Guftn matter, in the charge o.
his want of fealty to the party, occu'
pying most of the time. The result
Of their action Is not known, but it il
said on the streets, that the matter has
been referred to q special committee o
that body who will take testimony
and report to an adjourned meeting o
that committee for its action.
THE Governor will not interfere in
the execution of Jerry Coleman, ane
he will swing on Friday unless he car
in some way manage to break Jail, O
which means of escape there is ne
probability and scarcely a possibility
We would advise all, both white anC
black. to stay away from here or thai
day. Jerry has been ably defended
through three long years, but it seems
that his time has come, and there il
now no escape for him.
E:RoBBED.-Somebody with q key
opened DR.. Templeton's office a few
nights ago, and robbed him of a pail
Of new boots, some tobacco and q hal
box cigars.
