Homicide 1T LspPieF.

AUGUSTA, May 24.-On Monday
evening about o'clock shooting
scrape occurred in Langley which has
resulted in the death of one of Langley
citizens. The facts concerning this de-
plorable affair are hard to get at, but
we will give them as they were given
to US: 1t appears that old man John
Augustine and his son Charlie are en-
gagged in merchandising, and on Mon
day evening got into dispute over
come affairs which led to blows. DR..
Toland, who was either in the store or
passing at the time. hearing the dis
turbance ran in between father and son
to separate them. What occurred then
was not made clear to US, but at this
juncture John, another son of old man
Augustine, ran in and drawing mis-
pistol shot DR.. To!and in the
back, the ball penetrating in
the region of the heart. The Doctor
fingered until about II o'clock on Tues
day when he died. Young Augustine
tried to escape but was caught two
miles out of Lang ley and arrested. He
was taken back to Langley and turned
over to Sheriff Alderman yesterday
who brought him to Aiken and lodged
him in Jail. The Augustines claim that
DR.. Toland was fighting old man John
Augustine. We tried to gat his yers-
ion of the affair but he declined. We
understand the feeling against the Au.
gustines is quite bitter in Langley.
DR.. Toland has only been living in
Langley a short while. He is from
Edgefeld County, and has a family
which he expected shortly to bring to
Langley to live. T = was an old man.

though no positive figures as 20 the
cost are to be had. Governor Tiilman
says that no time will be lost In the

qliries recently from his political friend
as to his Intentions in the approach
ing Congressiona! Contest. There sp-
pears to be some question as to whether
he will make the race for re election in
the 1st or the 7Ih Congressional district
He proposes to retain his residence 10
Orapgeburg, which is in the newly ar
ranged 7th district. To make the con-
test in the Ist district he would have to
remove to Charleston. He realizes that
he would labor under disadvantage by
changing his place Of residence and
probably excite antagonisms that can
easily be avoided by remaining in Or
angeburg. Besides he desires to meas.
ure swords again with his former an
tagoniSt, DR.. Stokes. There are num-
Der of valuable Democrats in the City
of Charleston who are desirous of re-
presenting that great commercial city
in Congress, and therefore be will re-
main in the 7th district. He will make
the race as a Straightout Democrat, ad-
vocating the principles as enunciated
in the Chicago platform of 1892. Judge
Izlar reached this conclusion after due
consultation with his political friends
and advisers and he is confident of
success.-NeWs and Courier.

He carried through successfully the
project of building the old Raritan and

after years Of lighting the monopoly

the only man who succeeded in coping
with Commodore Stockton and John,

so long dominated the New Jersey leg

dubbed the Camden and Amboy

the Raritan to Bayside, on the Della

famous loan of $4,000 pounds with the
Bank of England through Brown Bros:

Comb Honey and swarming.

The query, "Can we secure more sur
plus comb honey by allowing one prime
swarm" was asked at meeting Of bee
keepers. Here are the replies as re-
ported by the American Bee Journal:
Mr.. Hines-Al1 the time that it takes
to build new set of brood combs is lost,
and I would rather keep them at work
in the sections.
Mr.. Benton-I would rather my bees
wouldn't swarm, for in so doing the
comb honey crop is decreased in my To-
cation.
Mr.. Kimble--I want one swarm from
each colony, because then / will have
two colonies for the latter part Of the
clover crop and two colonies to gather
the fall crop, and the two will gather
more than the one. kF
Frank Coverdale Il can't prevent
swarming, and so I have to do the best I
can with swarms. My method is to run
all the working force into the new swarm
for IA days after hiving, then double the
increase for the fall crop, and much nice
comb honey will likely be the result.
Mr.. Merritt-New swarms build much
nicer combs.
