influence of whiskey, went to his mother s
house near Marion and provoked a quarrel
with his brother, Jim Smithy. In the course
of the quarrel Bill drew n knife and advanc-
ed on jim, who ran out in tho yard Bill
followed him and as Jim started TO run again
he unfortunately stumbled and fell. Before
he could regain his feet his brother was upon
him using his knife with savage effect. With
'oue fsii blow he inficted lcng, deep and
dangerous wound in the back, between the
tenth and eleventh ribs, the knife penetrating
to the cavity.
Two sisters of the young men rushed out
10 save the wounded man. If possible, fror.
further harm, when with savage ferc,ity
Bill turned upon them, cutting one in the
face with his knife aud striking the other
on the head with fence rail which he found
lying near. Neither Of the girls is much
hurt, but the stab inflicted on their brother
is considered serious. Bill immediately fed
and has not been apprehended. Marion In-

feated by "decided majority" :" but no reso-

consequently the delegation
goes to the Convention uninstructed; and
we have good reason for believing that it is
pretty evenly divided ON the question, with
a balance on the side Of "no nominations"
We have made enquiries among oil classes
of people in this county as to the general
opinion regarding making nominations by
the Convention, on the 9th, and have not
found one man-Farmer or professional man
decidedly in favor of the Shell proposition.
On the other hand, we fud many decidedly
opposed to it.
Most of the persons interviewed express
the opinion that while they think the con-
vention should be held, and the Farmers
make it an occasion for free interchan
'f opinions upon matters, political and other
wise, pertaining to their own and the States
they cannot see the good policy

The Arson Case Tried Last Week.

The Stale v, Samuel Medlen, alias Samuel
Medlcy.-Arson. Verdict, not guilty.
The defendant in this casc was indicted
for burning the barn Of Mrs. Forte, the daugh-
ter Of Samuel Jsffcries, of Gaffney City, in
October 1888.
The evidence introduced by the State was
entirely circumstantial, which the State at
tempted to corroborate by threats made by
the defendant; to the affect that he had o
grudgo against Samuel Jefferies; the father of
Mrs. Forte, and that he would have revenge.
The defense claimed an alibi, which was
established beyond doubt, and the Jury
acquitted the defendant
The case occupied the timo Of the Court a
whole day, without particle of merit in il,
and the prosecution was evidently founded,
in great measure, upon malice, which fire.
quently showed itself during the trial.

which was granted.
Tuesday morning the c,se was resumed,
and the State proceeded to make out its case
which, after establishing tho corpus delieti,
was dono by proving the voluntary confess
sions of William Davis, made at different
times, to the affect that he, with James j.
vinson, Loli'e MoMahon aud Charles Gill
liam did the killing, and caused tho arrest
Of the latter parties.
The State, however, relied on the last con-
fessiou made by Davis, Monday week, which

Third-Thry purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorste the diges-

bowls.
Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other de-
PRAYED secretions.
The 6rst two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the
eye bright, tho mind active, digestion

THE EFFECT ON MRS. K1NNEAR.
The tragedy has had terrible effect
on Mrs. k,rnesr. She is q quiet
little woman. devoted to her home
and her little crippled eight or nine.
year old daughter. The Rev. Mr..
Osborn, her pastor, and many ladies
have spent considerable time with her
since the tragedy, endeavoring to con-
sole her; but to little avail. She is
constantly bemoaning her fate, and
weeps copious|y. Her little girls be-
havior is touching in the extreme.
With her arms around her mothers
neck, as if she would shield her from
any harm, she urges her: "Don't cry,
mamma. Papa is only asleep. He
will wake up soon, and talk to u.s."
The scene is heart breaking.
Mrs. Kinnear cannot, OF course, de-
eide upon her future course in her
present frame of mind. Friends are,
however, trying to make everything
really SO as to get her away from here
tomorrow, as herself and husband had
planned to do. There is nothing here
that cannot be attended to as we'll
with Mrs. Kinnear away. She will
therefore 90 tomorrow Tuesday.
Mr.. Kinnear's remains will be taken
to England, and the sad escort will
probably consist Of Mrs. kinnear, little
Miss KiEnear. and Mr.. Carter. Mr..
Carmichael, who has been cabled to,
will probably meet them in New York.
