the utter contempt in witch the better class
of people of Mclean County seem to hold
you, you provo to the world that you are
a fool for staying there. You nave already
lived there too long. and the people have
got on to your rackets. SO it would be wis
dom on YOU part to seek some place where
the people are not posted in your history.
l nave no time now to write more of
your past career, but I shall watch and see
what reply you make, but be careful you
do not make a wholesale denial, as I may
have to refresh your memory of other
things which may not prove altogether
pleasant. My last, though somewhat Sc
we're, contained too many facts for you to
refute, and if 1 come to the front again, I
shall add a great many others more biting
and singing than those already given to
the public. <.

DELAYS arc Dangerous.

The benefits accruingto to poor men from
carrying life insurance have recently had
at least two striking e1emplifcations in
this county in the deaths Of Messrs. De-
Witt G, Holcomb and s. B. Brownlee.
Each of these two had only paid an annual
premium and settlements were promptly
made as soon as the necessary papers were
made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were
both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of
Newark, N. j., which is represented in the
Fork by q. N. G. Boleman, and in this
city by G. W. Miller. This is one Of the
strongest and most reliable companies, be-
ing in it's 46th year of existence and hav-
ing so millions of assets. 1t deserves
special mention for Its prompt settlements,
having adjusted Mr.. Holcomb's claim
within ten days from the time proof was
made.

matter and thereby protect their wives and

a Negro Killed ut LowpdesvIlle.

Last Saturday morning, about o'clock,
Ed. Anderson, a colored man working on
the material train of tho Port Royal &
Western Carolina Railroad, was shot by
MIR. D. x. Cooley about one mile below
Lowndesville. Lutte in the afternoon the
negro died from the effects of the wound.
Mr., Cooley is prominent merchant Of
Lowndesville, and the affray is deeply re-.
GREETED by his friends.
The Lowndesville correspondent of the
News and Courier, under date of the 18th
inst, gives The following particulars of the
Trial Justice Harden empanelled jury
last night about o'clock and held an i'll.
quest over the body Of Ed Anderson.
Only two Witnesses were examined, Dr.
B. A. Henry, and Mr.. R. W. Colyer.
The former testified that the deceased
came to his death from gun shot wound
in his forehead. The latter testified that
be was with Mr.. D. K. Cooley, and went
with him, at Mr.. Cooleys request, to get
the deceased. That he did not see Mr..
Cooley shoot him, but saw the negro i'm
mediately after be was shot. AS other
witnesses had to be examined who were on
the service train of the Port Royal and
Western Carolina Road, the inquest was
continued until Monday, when 1t will be
resumed.
It seems that Ed Anderson was under
contract to work for Mr.. Berry B. Allen, q
partner of Mr., Cooley's, and they had de.
termined to get him and make him fulfil
his contract. The negro was employed Oh
the service train, and arrangements were
made with the conductor to stop the train
and allow Messrs. Cooley and Colyer to
get the negro.
Cooley saw the negro standing on the
steps and called to him to come there, the
negro replying he would 60 as soon as
he got his coat. Entering the coach to
get his coat he ran to the other end, and
Mr.. Cooley seeing him, pursued him III
time to stop him from getting out, so the
negro turned and ran back out the Car
door from whore he first started, and as
he did SO Mr.. Cooley, who was standing
few yards distant, fired his pistol, the ball
entering the negro's forehead.
The negro was taken to Mr.. Berry B. AL
lens and received medical attention. At
one time il was thought he was out Of
danger but the wound proved fatal, and
the negro died about o'clock.
Sheriff W. D. Mann was here this morn.
ing to arrest Mr.. Cooley, but could not
find him. The killing is the absorbing
topic here and the occurrence is very much
regretted. II is the opinion of some that
Mr.. Cooley will not return and stand his
trial, as his whereabouts are unknown, and
his friends decline to give or express an
opinion on the subject.

Since the unusual amount of rainfall in
this community, the "long-faced farmers"
again show up q familiar expression. We
never remember seeing as much plowing

Obituaries.
Died, at Piedmont, 8. c., April 14th,
1891, Benford Ofena Stephens, daughter
of E. B. andJ Carrie Stephens, aged four.
teen yaars lacking FIVE days. Though
young, Jrene had made profession Of
saving faith in Christ, and had united
herself with the Methodist Church. She
told her pastor and members Of her
family only short while before her
death she was trusting in Jesus and WAS
not afraid of death. What comfort to
her bereaved family, she being "dead yet
speaketh" She died OF that fell disease,
consumption. Although everything pos.
sible was done for her by kind friends, in
few short months the disease did its
work.
The writer would like to speak of fea-
ture of the funeral which was specially
impressive. After the usual service at
the Church, conducted by her pastor, Rev.
8. Zimmerman, and the concluding SER
vice of the ritual at the grave, and when
the mound was finished which marked
her last resting place, the pupils Of the
school of which she was member, each
wearing crepe and carrying bouquet Of
flowers, approached and literally covered
the grave with their tokens of love and re-
spect. have seen funerals conducted by
most Of tile Societies Of our country, but
to ny mind none were halfso impressive.
May the bereaved family have the COM
forting influence of the Holy Spirit. In
this, their sad bereavement, they have the
sympathy OF many friends.

About 9 o'clock Saturday night an
alarm of fire aroused the city, and for q
few seconds there was some trouble in
locating the direction from whence the
alarm came. Finally the information
reached the fremen that the Shoe Factory
was afire, and in that direction everybody
began running. Before reaching the fac;
tory, however. the 6remen were stopped
and informed that the alarm came from
the home of Capt. T F. Hill, on Orr street,
and that their services would not be need
ed, as the fire had been e1tingulshed. AS
soon as Capt. Hill, who was at his store
when the alarm was sounded, reached
home he found that his residence had had
narrow escape. The fire was caused by
lamp being accidentally knocked from
an organ, on which young lady was per.
forming. The lamp broke to pieces and
the oil soon caused considerable blaze,
which was smothered by throwing several
quilts over it. The organ was ruined.

There came near being serious fire at
the home of Mr.. James Elliott, in the
southwestern portion of the city, last
Monday afternoon The alarm was sound
ed and the fremen responded promptly,
but their services were not needed, as the
fire was soon extinguished. Mr.. Elliott's
little son attempted to kindle fire in the
CRATE with kerosene oil, and in twink
ling the oil can was ablaze. The little fel.
low screamed, and fortunately his mother
got to him in time to save him from hor-
.rible death. His hand and portion of
his face was painfully burned.
