THE BAPTIST HIGH SCHOOL.

There is no truth in the recently
published report that the faculty of
the Baptist High school had resigned,
or the rumor that the school had
collapsed. How such stories gain
currency is often difficult to arrive at.
Mr.. Booth has recently received two
hattering offers Of position-one in
North Carolina and the other in
South Carolina; but as yet he has
accepted neither. What he may do
later, of course, he does not now
know. Prof. Edwards has also re-
ceived a fattering offer; but, as yet,
has given no intimation of his accep-
tance. So far as is known now, Prof.
Savage will continue in charge of the
music department next year.
An importat meeting of friends of
the school was held in the Society hall
of the building, last Wednesday.
Among those present were Revs. H.
R. Mosley, J. H. Marlborough, J. E.
McManaway and Major John W.
Wilkse, of the Chester association; Rev.
J. S. Caxton, of the Moriah association,
and eight leading members of the York
association. The affairs of the school
were discussed earnestly and at length,
and as result of the discussion, it is
authoritatively given out that the in
stitution will be re-opened in September
as usual. Who the members of the
faculty will be, has not yet developed.
The matter has been left with a COM
mittee commissioned with authority to
act as it may deem best.

BRADSHAW WILL DIE.

Cbas. Bradshaw, the young man
shot by Trial Justice McElhaney, at
Fort Mill, last Monday, will probably
die. At least that is the opinion of the
attending physician. The man was
shot through both hips, and his chances
for getting we'll are thought to be about
one out of ten.
The particulars as given Wednesday,
were substantially correct. Bradshaw,
with several others, had been fined
$3.50 each for gambling on Sunday.
All but Bradshaw paid up promptly.
Bradshaw promised to pay and was
turned loose. The policeman after
ward went to his home to collect the
fine. He abused the policeman off the
premises, and the gambling case was
turned over to the State.
When the case came up before Trial
Justice McElhaney, Bradshaw intimi-
dated the witnesses with drawn pistol.
The trial justice fined him for con-
tempt. He threatened to kill. Every
body else in the court room was un-

HANDBOOK OF THE STATE.

Mr.. w. T. Woodruff, Of Charleston
was in Yorkville on Wednesday and
yesterday, in the interest of the pro.
posed handbook of South Carolina
that is now being prepared by The
Lucas & Richardson Co., under the
auspices of the executive department.
The main object of the book is to
thoroughly show up the manufactur-
ing and industrial achievements, op-
portunities and possibilities of the
State for the especial convenience and
information of homeseekers and capi-
talists abroad. 1t is the purpose of the
publishers to give each county, and as
far as possible each town and city in
the State, its proper showing in the
picture.
The expense of publishing the book
will necessarily be very heavy, and as
there are no public funds available, it
must be betrayed largely by county,
town and individual subscriptions.
Nearly every town to which he has
applied has appropriated sums ranging
from 500 to $500. AS yet, on account
of the absence of Intendant Moore, the
town council of Yorkville has taken no
action in the matter.
The publishers hope to have the
book ready for distribution at the
Cotton States and International ex-
position, and unless something should
turn up to throw damper on the en-
terprise, it is likely that some $4,000
or 10000 copies of the book will be
given away at Atlanta. In addition
so this, the projectors of this under
taking say that this work will be the
"Handbook" of South Carolina for
years to come. The enterprise seems
to be worthy of the fullest encourage
ment, and those towns that take hold
of it with the greatest intelligence now,
will have the fewest regrets after it
NAV be too late for further action.

armed, and all deemed it prudent to
retire and leave Bradshaw, temporari-
" at least, master of the situation.
Presently McElhaney returned with
Winchester. Bradshaw opened fire.
11cElhaney tried to shoot. At first
his gun snapped. Next time it went
off and the Young outlaw was knock
ed over.
Immediately after the shooting, Rev.
DR.. Thornwell and others went to
work to make Bradshaw comfortable.
The young man was at first taken to
the hotel. Afterward he was made as
comfortable as possible in another
house that was subsequently procured.
The kind people have since been doing
for him all that lies in their power.
Trial Justice McElhaney is kind
hearted and humane. He deeply re-
qrets the circumstances that made it
necessary for him to shoot the young
outlaw. Others in the community
share his feelings; but, at the same
time, all are agreed that he did exact
ly the right thing at the right time,
and if Bradshaw dies, Trial Justice
McElhaney will Immediately surrender
himself to the sheriff, 60 before one of
the circuit judges, give bond in any
amount that may be required, and at
the next court of general sessions, re-
ceive full vindication.
