Cylindrical Cotton Bales.

The savingof one dollor bale for
compressingis certainly one good fea-
ture: the saving to the producer on
account of liberal 'sampling" is anoth-
err, and the fact that coarse cotton cloth
can be employed to cover the bales is
another and important one, as it will
provide new use for low grade cotton
and enhance its price. AS the bales
remain compressed, when compressed.
in the roll, fewer ties should also be
required to keep them in form, and an
otheritem..of expense should oe saved to
the producers accordingly. Altogether
the new bale ar5ears TO have many
advantages to commend it to produ-
GERS and manufacturers of cotton alike,
and it has probably come to stay

A Murder Mystery.

PAcoLET, Oct. Is The body of Silas
Nancy, colored, was found early this
morning about one mile above the sta
ton on the railroad, terribly mutilated
The head was severed from the body
and one arm cut off. There was bask-
ct and two or three bottles of whiskey
by the side of the body.
It is known that the dead man came
down from Spartanburg as far as Rich
Hill with another colored man, late
yesterday afternoon and he left a col
ored mans house near where his body
now lies about 10 o'clock.
At the inquest evidence may be pro
duced showing the cause of his death.
Silas worked at the stone quarry and
was rather favorite with his emplo-

Emanuel Williams Killed.

Emanuel Williams, the notorious
outlaw, has met his fate at last. He
was killed at Seivern in Aiken Coun-
ty last Saturday night by Mr.. Oscar
Meyer, a conductor on the Carolina
Midland Railroad. 1t seems that
Meyer and Williams had had some
trouble some two or three weeks since
at Seivern, and Meyer had been ad.
vised by numerous friends to be on
the alert, lest Williams would take an
advantage some time and kill him in
the dark. Meyer, who runs regularly
as conductor on the Carolina Midland
Railroad, received a dispatch at Wag-
ener last night reading thus: BE on
the lookout; something wrong in
town"
Thus he was on his guard. When he
went into Severn he first asked the
agent and afterwards Engineer Good
win to walk with him to his boarding
house. Goodwin agreed to do it, and
when they had come in about two
steps of his house door Meyer saw
man rise out of the bushes to his left
with his left hand IN his bosom as if
gripping weapon. Meyer fred and
the shot took effect in the left side
about one-half inch from line with
the nipple and two inches to the right
of it. The ball passed through the
heart and lung and pressed against
the skin on the back side. Acting
Coroner G.. Jones Baltzgear held the
inquest, and the jury, with Mr.. Eman-
uel Busbee as foreman, brought in a
verdict that Emanuel Williams came
to his death from a gunshot wound in
the hands of Oscar Meyer, and that
the said Oscar Meyers life was in i'm
minent danger at the time.
Meyer has numerous friends, and
everybody seems to think that the
verdict was perfectly righteous and
entirely consistent with the facts. It
will be remembered that Williams is
the man who, for all intents and pur-
poses, has been outlawed by several
States. He is the man who was sup
posed to have killed Mitchell Poole, of
this county, about two years ago. AT
ter his trial for this he was carried to
Alabama to answer for crimes he was
supposed to have committed, and put
out on bail there. His bondsmen
proved that he had been drowned in
the Alabama River and the bonds
were satisfied.
From that time he was successively
in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, till January, 1895, when he
was brought back to South Carolina
on suspicion that he was the murderer
of County Treasurer Copes. Under
this charge he was lodged in the Peni-
tertiary and retained there till some
time in April last. Williamss career
has been a notorious one of crime and
depreciation. Oscar Meyer is young
man, honest, frugal, industrious and
strictly attentive to his own business,
of quiet disposition and perfectly
calm and considerate. He stands very
high in the opinion Of his employers,
the !: Carolina Midland Railroad, and
Southern Express Company, who, no
doubt, will see that he hasa fair show

open marks an epoch in our history,
viii always be pointed to as having
been inaugurated in the year 1895
Now what have we a right to expect
from this SCHOOL, for will not dwell

ed to it in passing. | say without
hesitation and in no boasting spirit,
that the last five years have marked
in this State change of things such
has not been known in the history of

from the Indians. We have had tur-
moil and strife and households have
been divided. but let US hope for this
school as for Clemson that it will be
for the upbuilding of the people and
the State. What do we need most in
South Carolina: Education. How are
we to get it? By raising more money
by taxation, and by sending out more
trained teachers to lead the children.
Most of you will 60 from this house
with a deeper sense of the need OF
which Ispeak. I feel that appeal to
your sense as well as to your sensibili-
ties in speaking of this school which
marks an epoch such as no other in
stance in our history can afford. Who
of YOU have not been impressed with
the beauty and magniicence of these
buildings l say without hesitation we
have in this building the most mag
niGcent institution of learning in the
South. Some may be disposed to say
that we have spent money Iavlshly,
that we have expended more than we
needed. But there has not been any
thing small or picayunish connected
with our building; we preferred to
build largely rather than have a poor
cheap John college.

faculty, we, the board OF trustees, have

CLASH OF POWERS.
Collision Between Fire Depart
ment and Underwriters, COrps.

ment and Underwriters, Corps.
The first collision between members
of the regular fire department and of
the salvage corps occurred yesterday
morning at an incipient blaze in the
store room of the New York Publish
ing company, at 705 Hennepin avenue.
When the alarm had been turned in,
Chemical No. 1 was the first to arrive
on the spot, and Capt. Fred Malone
naturally assumed charge Of the fire
men until the arrival of a superior.
The Underwriters salvage corps were
but a short distance behind the chem
ical. AS Malone was having a stream
run into the building William Shep,
herd, driver of the Underwriters, is
alleged to have obstructed the firemen.
He was ordered out of the way by Ma
lone, but refused to move, saying that
he had as much right there as any one.
Fred Malone said he had no time to
waste in words and Shepherd got out.
Later during the progress of the fire
another member of the corps was put
out of the building by policeman who
did not recognize him.
The fire itself originated. in some pa
per near a stove and did very little
damage.
