Shot by Unknown Parties.

Information nas been received OF the
shooting of Mr.. Cordie Kirkland, in the
Oakvilla neighborhocd in this county, on
last Sunday night about - o'clock.
It is said to have been one Of the most
dastardly and cowardly attempts to take
the life of a human that we have had yet
to chronicle.
Atabout the hour named, Mr.. Kirkland
was awakend from his slumbers by some
one hailing and on opening the door, the
midnight assassin fired load Of buckshot
into Mr.. Kirkland's body. The shot en-
tered the lower part Of the abdomen, two Of
which perforated the bladder and nineteen
entered the pubic rigions causing a fatal
wound.
Several causes are assigned as an incent-
i've for the deed, the most prominent OF
which and the most probable is that Mr..
Kirkland has made himself abnoxious to
certain men in that neiShborlood and they
used this means Of removing and silencing
him. Several persons are suspected and
arrests will likely be made shortly. The
community is aroused and much incensed
over tho shooting.
DR.. J. G. Williams is in attendance and
is doing all that medical skill can do for
the wounded man. No hope is entertained
for his recovery.

An Exclamation.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In reply to an article in the Dis
patch of a recent issue, entitled
"Chapin Items" and subscribed to,
by the fictitious name of "Sam Tan
ner." Think it absolutely necessary to
give an explanation to some of the
ungentlemanlY remarks made con-
cerning the spreading of the mumps
in our town. There is no light
needed on the subject as a local
matter; since our people are aware
Of the facts as to how the epidemic
of mumps came, but that strang-
ers to our community, might be mis-
lead by the "Gentleman" Sans" re-
marks, we give you brief, unbiased
explanation.
About June 25th my wife paid a
visit to her mother living at New
Brookland, in whose family a case OF
mumps developed soon after her de
parture. A few days after her al
rival home, my little baby, about 13
months old, and at that time pass
ing through that tryinh period Of
babyhood "teething", was seized
with some fever as is a common
thing in the development of the
teeth, whereupon we secured the
presence Of Mrs. Fanny Meetze, who
said it was nothing more than teeth.

tirely ignorant of the fact that the

with the mumps, and as the fever
soon passed away we had no idea at

went to the sale feeling about as
good as usual, and indeed returned
without having any symptoms OF
mumps, but in few days the symp-
toms were very obvious.
We are very sorry that our young
friend should be so unfortunate as to
fall into such bad company, and as
a result, con!rac; The mumps. But
our Sam must remember that when
he associates with such sneaking
scoundrels thai he must also assume
the risk of associa ing with their de-
fects of body as we'll as of charac-
ter. It does seem that if our friend
is such "selecs gentleman as he
claims, that he would not run the
risk of con rae ing disease or more
especially, bad habits from such
"sneaking scoundrels" as he did in
this case. A no'ed author has said
that we know moher by her
daughter; t1ee by its fruits; an
author by his books and a man by
the company he keeps. So be care
full "Sam'', or you may be known by
your companions, ''Shun evil compan,
ions" You had be'terl learn the funda-
men'al principals and incentives to
good character before you ''pull out
The mote from your bro hers eye.
It is very probable that the
mumps in our town were spread
from the bottles mou'b; as the crowd
were drinking pretty freely during
the sale; and if our Sam WAS so un-
fortunate as 70 secure case of the
mumps in this way, we would say
"Genlleman, never look upon the
wine while it is red" And if Sam
could have controlled his passion, he
would never have been troubled
much wi b mumps. Itwas not The
mumps but that 40 pound water
melon that Sam relentlessl. Y deVoured

A Card.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

Please allow me space in your
paper to express my gratitude to the
many friends that so kindly honored
me with their votes in the Democra-
tic Primary Election, held August
2Sth, 1894.
Having filed the Office of Auditor
for seven terms or fourteen years, I
feel that it would be ungrateful in
me not to extend publicly my sincere
thanks to my many friends for again
endorsing me for the eighth term.
I certainly feel highly complimented
for the handsome vote received, and
will ever endeavor with the help of
God, to so conduct myself in Office
that my friends will feel proud Of
and never regret vote cast for me.
It shall ever be my highest aim to
strive for honor, and you may rest
assured, kind friends. that I will
never go back upon your confidence
or dishonor the trust confded in me.
Your county while in my hands shall
never receive no injury from any
cause Of mine.
Tothose who thought proper to cast
their vote against me, Ibeg to state
that I have no harsh or unkind words.
I beg that you will watch my every
action and see if you can detect any
thing that will cause you to believe
that I hold feelings of malice against
you. You cannot vote for all your
friends; this fact I realized in years
past and gone. Your friendship I still
desire and my hope is that my con-
duct in and out of Office will be such
as will command it in no distant day.
In conclusion, beg to state that 1
entered into no clique or combination
but depended solely upon my past
record in office to carry me safely
through. With thanks to all, I am
yours, most respectfully,
NJ. D. HARMAN.

OPPOSED TO THE NEW COUNTY

! The meeting at Mr.. Curtis Rish's
on Saturday, was largely attended
! by tAe citizens of that section and
an excellent barbecued dinner Was
prepared and enjoyed.
About 10 o'clock, Mr.. ". H.
Sharpe, chief of ceremonies, intro
duced Mr.. E. ". Ables, who sub
mitted the proposition for the forma-
ton of new county of portions OF
Aiken, Orangeburg and Lexington
He explained the boundaries Of the
proposed new county as set forth IN
an advertisement in this issue Of the
Dispatch.
He was followed by Judge J. Wal
ter Mitchell, who opposed the scheme
in an excellent speech. Mr.. A. \.
Ables favored the new county in a
thoughtful speech. Hoc. C. NJ. Efrd
opposed and Capt. J. F. Lylesf favored,
as did also Mr.. Eugene ". Ables.
Mr.. W. H. Sharpe closed the discus
sion in one of the strongest and
ablest arguments we have ever heard
him make. After he closed he took a
hand primary and with but two ex-
ceptions the meeting was unani-
mously opposed to the proposition.
We regret very much that sickness
prevented US from taking notes and
giving a synopsis Of the speeches.
From what information we could
gather We are satisfied that not more
than a half dozen citizens residing
within the boundary of the pro
posed new county favor the scheme
of cutting off any portion of the ter
ritory of Lexington county, and that
they will go before the Legislature
with an almost solid petition
against it.
After the adjournment Of this
meeting, Messrs. J. F. Kyzer and J.
D. Farr, candidates for School Com.
missioner in the second primary, and
J. H. Counts and S. L. Smith, can.
didates for Supervisor, addressed the
people in favor of their candidacy.
Several games of base ball were
played and the pleasures Of the day
closed with dancing by the young
people.

The farmers generally throughout

barring unforeseen accidents, to do
them, with economy in use, for two

they are nearer out of debt than

have asked for advances to any eX-

condition and are more hopeful than
they have been for years.
