IN the Dark Corner" On Thursday
morning about II o'clock, while all the
male members Of her family were IN
the fields working, Mrs. Plumley was
shot and will probably die. She is the
wife of William Plumley, owner of
considerable property and of 8 promt
nent family. Mrs. Plumley saw some
one on the hill above her house and his
movements excited her suspicion. She
went into the yard and saw man en-
ter her house. He ran toward the
house and left, taking trunk contain
ing $500. AS size reached the door, a
gun was fired and she was struck by a
bullet which went in her side, coming
cut on the other. The news spread
rapidly. A posse was formed and the
assassin was tracked by the mountain

His Terrible Death.

New YORK, June ga peculiar
case of suicide is given out by the au-
thorities of the prison at Chester. ILL.,,
in the death of James Murray, con-
vict sentenced from Marion county, ILL.,,
for laceny. Murray resorted to all
kinds of methods to avoid working.
Shortly after be came to the prison he
teigned illness and was sent to the hos
pital. So well did he act his part of a
hospital patient that for several days
he lay apparently in great agony, re-
fusing to eat, and took with eagerness
all the bitter prescriptions prescribed
for him by the physicians. His trick
was finally discovered aid it failed to
work on several occasions after ward.
Being determined not to work and
knowing no way out oft but real sick
ness. Murray attempted several meth
ods of carrying out his purpose. About
two weeks ago be ate large quantity
of soap. It was the most successful
plan he had hit upon. and he lay in the
the hospital for more than week real
ly suffering. Last Saturday Murray
was released from the hospital, and on
Monday he again succeeded in secur-
ing a large bar of lye soap. This he ate
and was at once taken with violent
spasms. He died horrible death.

More Men 1han Women.

The United States census bureau has
issued special bulletin containing
marriage statistics. It has been as
carefully compiled as the nature Of the
case would admit. Its conclusions up
set several points of popular belief.
One of these is that there are more WO-
men than men in the country. The
cold figures show that this is not true of
the country at large, even if it be Sc OF
Massachusetts. But Massachusetts Is
not the country, through Boston may
think the country reVOlVes around her
as a pivot. The fact is that we have
1,422,410 more males than females in
the United States, so that every Wo.
man could have husband if she
wanted one and have fraction of a
man to spare besides, SO far as the
mere supply of men goes. This ought
to comfort those maidens who still
have hope that their afinities may be
found, thought it holds out small con.
ISOLATION to bachelors. Statistics Of
WidoWhood and WidoWerhood show a
difference on the other side. Widows
are for some reason far more constant
to the memonry of the dear departed
than Widowers. For every WidoWer
who remains in the single state there
are three widows. And yet,with the ma
jority of widoWers remarrying, there
are still nearly million and half hus.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June lO.-Governor
Tillman was in his Office at the State
House yesterday, having returned from
the North yesterday morning The
Governor was in good humor except
over the story which was sent out by
the Associated Press about his speech
before the Prohibition Convention in
New York. He denounced the entire
report as false and said that be could
prove it by any officer of the conven.
ton. He said that he had the Conyen-
ton with him by majority of at least
three to one and believes that the ma
jority was nearer ten to one. He said
that the New York Times was the only
paper which came near giving him JUS
tice. That paper headed its account of
his speech "Tillman Wins the Day.
Prohibitinnists Vote for the South
Carolina Liquor Law" The Governor
was warm under the collar when talk
ing about the way he had been treated
by the Associated Press and requested
the representative of the Association
here to ask that an investigation be
made into the story sent out.-Register.

Tha q KINGDOM of Home.

Let home stand first. No matter
how high your ambition, no matter
how far your talents or your influences
may reach, before everything else build
up true home. Be not its slave; be
its minister. Let it not be enough that
it is swept and garnished, that its
silver is brilliant, that its food is de-
licious, but feed the love in it. Then
from its walls shall come forth the
true woman and the true man.
What honor can be greater than to
found such a home? What dignity
higher than to reign its honored mis-
tress? What is the ability to speak
from public platform or the wisdom
that can command seat on thejudge's
bench, compared to that which can
insure and preside over a true home?
To be the guiding star, the ruling spirit
In such home is higher than to rule
an empire.

Crime of Universal Suffrage.

London, June 2.-The Economist,
commenting on the campaign OF Ida
Wells against the lynching Of negroes in
the Southern States of America, says:
1.-The equality OF the races does not exist.
The whites who granted the suffrage to
the negro were guilty of a grave often ,e
against republicanism as system assur-
ing the moral and intellectual compe-
tence of citizen. There is nothing to
be done except to tolerate the negro as a
subordinate citizen until he becomes civil
lized, which he may never be. We do not
ask good Americans to interfere in be-
half of the negro, but we do ask our own
countrgmen, who cannot be good republl
cans in the midst OF lynch law" The
Spectator says: The action Of the
North after the war made the condition
OF the negro infinitely worse than if they
had adopted wiser and more unselish
policy. It is a terrible example Of mis-
chief due to vndictiye and short sighted
partisanshlp. It was impossible to
maintain a system under which des.
pissed and ignorant race was encouraged
to play the despot over race of higher
political intelligence"

Thou5and Killed.

New YORK, June IA special from
Han.KoW says that 1000 persons at
least have lost their lives IN catastro-
phe peculiar to this singular section;
Heavy rains, caused apparently by a
waterspout or "cloudburst" fell early
last week on the upper Han, suddenly
flooding the lowlands to the depth of
several feet. Two great RATS moored
to the bank were torn away by the
maddaned waters and hurried down
stream, smashing everything in their
way for over 200 miles, leaving death
and ruin in their wake. They reached
the mouth of the Han, where 1t emptles
into the Yangtse King, at this place,
Friday night. Like two huge catapults
they crashed into the junks and swept
them into the Yang-tse-klang, where
a whirlpool was formed and the hap
less crafts with their crews were sucked
beneath the furious waters. Six small
Chinese gunboats were sunk while try
ing to rescue the hundreds OF persons
thus placed in jeopardy. Life saving
boats also did what they could but the
current was so rapid that all efforts
proved of little value. The vast, lmpetu-
Gus volume of water that rushed out OF
the Han did much damage on the op-
posite shore of the Yang-tse-kiang,
over a mile distant, and to the bund in
front of the iron works. Many frail
houses on the bank were carried away,
occupants and all, the water coming
down like a tidal wave. almost without
warning. Over 400 bodies have been
found floating II the YaDg-tse-hiapg
below this place, and others are found
daily. The Han drains an immense
area and its surface is covered with
iunks ard small craft. The only won.
der is that the destruction was not
greater, the pecuniary loss being con-
fined to the destruction Of junks and
boats and the flooding of rice fields, Of
which no estimate Can be obtained.

RESERGENT.

Only bunch o2 withered flowers,
Faded and brown and old,
But memory makes them gay once more
With purple, white and gold.
The pink spring beauty greets US first,
Fed by the melting snow,
And ground nut blossoms show the place
OF hidden stores below.
The pure wake-robin on the hill
Greets the first bird again,
The starry blood root in the dell
Still leaves its crimson stain.
Jack-in the-pulpit breaches yet
To little wooda folk,
Ard liverworts and yioletS grow
At the feet Of the hollow oak.
The dainty waxen Indian pipe
Ber cath the beach tree springs,
And the golden bell Of the adder tongue
Still lightly sWays and swings.
It tolls the knell-that fairy bell
OF childhoOd'S hopes and fears
And ushers in the toll and sin
Of later, Sadder years,
And so kept the faded flowers
NV old time playmate gave,
With grasses sweet that grow above
a lonely western grave.

Don Dickson said in an interview
the other day that he believed in Gro
yer Cleveland more than ever. There
was a time," said he, when they burn
ed Andrew Jackson in etligV all over
this country, and yet two years after
that, so popular had Jackson become,
you couldn't fad a man who had said
a word against him. That is the way
it will be with President Cleveland.
He is an able, fearless man; a man
with the courage to do what he be.
lieves to be right. And he is doing
more for bimetalllsm than any other
man living today. He is believer in
silver. The only question is as to the
best way in which to do it. They will
come to his idea of 1t yet. England Is
already receding from her situation
and the day will come when you will
see silver restored to the world; and
Grover Cleveland is doing more to that
end, as I said than any other man or
force in the world today:

A Shocking Tragedy.

BENNETTsvILLE, June 6.--Our usually
quiet and orderly town has been
shocked by tragedy unparalleled in
sadness. Last night about $50 o'clock
horseman, with lightning speed,
rushed up town to notify physicians
ard relatives that Mr.. J. Donglas
Moore had been shot down with d
double barreled shotgun at the resi-
derce of Mr.. Henry T. Breeden by Mr.
Breeder himself. They are both resi-
dents of this town and are brothers-ln-
Law, Mr. Breeden having married Mr..
Moore's sister. They are young men,
representatives of the very best and
most prominent families in Marlboro
county, and had been fast friends.
Your correspondent Immediately Sc
cured a buggy and drove to the place
of the sad affair. l found three physi.
clans and about one dozen citizens
present. Mr.. Moore was stretched on
a mattress on the floor of one of the
porches near where he was shot and
fell. Your correspondent obtained the
following facts: Both men were un.
der the Influenza of liquor, they drank
together in Breeden's house; hot words
passed in reference to family matters.
BreeGen got his gun, but Moore in.
duced him to put itup; they then drank
together. Moore started home. and
was on the porch near the steps when
shot. The load entered just below the
navel. The wound bled profusely. and
the unfortunate man suffered much
pain. Moore told your correspondent
that he was leaving for home and was
shot without proVocation. Mrs. Adams
proprietress of the Adams House, is
the mother Of Mr.. Moore, and sne, with
her daughter, Miss Moore, were sent
for. When they arrived l witnessed
the most touching and heartrending
scene OF my life. Early this morning
the wounded man was removed to his
mothers. His two uncles and cousin
arrived from the country. His ante
mortem statement was taken by Trial
Justice Easterling. The contents
of the statement have not
been made public. DR.. Z. Kollock of
Cheraw, assisted by local physicians,
by investigation discovered that the
bladder had been shot to pieces, and
they at once pronounced his case hope
less. He can live but a few hours, Moore
stated that he entertained no Ill will
toward Breeder and that he freely for
gave him. Whiskey caused the trouble.
No arrests have been made this even
ing.-State.
