passed through near the wrist. Mr.. Davis
was certainly unfortunate, being shot in
the endeaVor to secure peace. He received
the bullet intended for Mr.. Kay, and no
doubt saved him from fatal wound.
Mr.. Kay was naturally excited and over
whelmed with distress. He said that he
became fully convinced that Mr.. Floyd was
the man to hold responsible for his daugh-
ter's dishOnOr, and had acted accordingly,
with the full determination to avenge her
wrong if Mr.. Floyd refused to make re-
paration.
Mr.. Floyd is a native of Newberry and
has been resident of this city for quite
number of years, being engaged in the busi-
ness Of mercantile broker, and is quite
wealthy, having quite respectable fortune.
Mr.. Kay has been a resident of Green
vile long time, and has been a State Con-
stable for year or more being a most ex-
cellent officer. He was at one time on the.
police force. He is very well liked and he
and his family have always been highly
respected by the community. They GER
tainly have the sympathy Of our people in
their affiiction, and many expressions of
deep regret are heard on all sides. Miss
Kay is quite an accomplished young lady,
and has always been very popular. She
was the author of very well written essay
on music, recently published, and which
was meritorious composition, and showed
that she is most fluent writer.
No legal proceedings are likely to be
taken against Mr.. Kay, unless Mr.. Floyd's
wound results fatally, which does not seem
probable.
