A Lanentab,e Shooting Affair.

On last Friday evening, at about
7 o'clock, the people Of Lexington
were shocked to hear that Mike Har-
man had shot and killed Callle
Clughman, Jr. We are glad to be
able to announce this morning that
Mr.. Clughnan is still alive, and there
are some hopes for his recovery.
The unfortunate affair, occurred over
some trouble between Mr.. Harman
and Mr.. Caughman in regard to
family matters. 1t is needless to
say that we are deeply grieved at
the lamentable affair
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1896-06-24

On my return I find that A. B. Will
liams is known to be the writer, and
this statement of itself, will be sufi
cient to most men as to the motive
of the attack and truth of the charges.
I learned further that DR.: Bates had
written a card explaining the receipt
by him of commission amount to
about $4,000 for extra and unofficial
work, but apparently stunning or
ignoring the graver charges directly
or indirectly made of collusion with
Rhind and the commission. On ar
irving at Columbia, found DR.. Bates
had prepared full statement of the
whole bond transaction, but under
bad advice had confined his state
ment as published to an explanation
OF the commission paid him, which
was not at all satisfactory even to his
friends, and thereby had invited
rather than disarmed criticism. He
submitted this statement to me and
now gives it to the press at my sug-
gestion. I have read it carefully and
can corroborate as true everything it
contains as to the facts of the case.
But for the fact that there are
others involved in the so called ''bond
scandal" I would adhere to my orig
inal purpose of treating it with silent
contempt, because Gen. Butler made
practically the same charges at Wal
terboro Gu 1894, and I made full
and complete answer to them then.
I recognize, however, that the
shafts of SANDER and malace which
have fallen harmless from me would
hurt others who are not less worthy of
public confidence. I take occasion,
therefore, to repeat what I said at
Walterboro two years ago. I have
never received one dollar of Rhind's
commission and never made any
agreement, directly or indirectly with
Rhind or any one else that would
give me compensation for making the
contract upon the terms agreed
upon. I worked in the States inter-
est and for her benefit wholly, and
it is simply damnable that the pa
pers of the State should give cur
rency and quasi endorsement to
these repeated slanders and lies.
I take occasion to say' that the
work done by DR.. Bates was entirely
outside of and apart from his official
duties, and that every criticism of him
in my judgement, is unreasonable
and unjust. He consulted me as to
the propreiety of doing it., and 1 did
not then and do not now see why he
should have refused to do the work
that in no wise conficted with his
official duties, and which did not cost
the State one cent. On two occa-
sions DR.. Bates, in the plentitude for
what he supposed to be for the best
interests of the State, refused to sign
the notifications of the contract
which the exigencies of the situation
demanded, and overruled him be-
cause I saw it was our last and only
chance.
The agreement to do the work for
the syndicate was made two weeks
after the last compact was signed,
aud he signed that under my persua-
sion. I was associated with him four
years on the terms of the closest in
timacy. If he is not an honest, hon
orable, conscientious and high-toned
gentleman, then we have none in
South Carolina.

A few days since Mrs. VIII
liam Newman bought of a ped
dler a few dozen eggs. There
was nothing peculiarly strange
about that for no doubt on that
same day many other house
wives in Ardmore done the
same thing. The strange fea-
ture of the transaction followed
some days afterward. She
placed the eggs in a wicker
basket and deposited them in
the cellar using from them as
the occasion required. The
climax of surprises was reached
day before yesterday when she
sent her little son down after
an egg for her husbands break
fast. When the youthful scion
came back instead of bringing
an egg he brought back a young
chicken that he found in the
basket picking at its empty
shell. The little chick is yet
alive and doing well. Mr..
Newman thinks had he not
eaten the eggs so fast he would
now have a good sized brood If
chickens.

The oueere.t Of Human Ailments.

If you will carefully read the Stats
tics of the late war between the states
you will find that according TO the state
mcnts which have from time to time
emanatcd from the adjutant generals
office 1919. 720 Union troops died Of dis
ease during the years lS6l-5 OF the
1919. 270 who succumbcd 10 various NAL
aides during those terrible years 81, 1877
died of a disease that was not CLASH
fled simply because Of its varying symp-
toms.
The majority Of readers have never
heard of this malady, but that it exist
ed among the troops ON both sides dur
ing the civil war-and i'll all other wars,
for that mattor-will not be denied by
any observer who took the trouble TO
look n little beyond the havoc caused by
shot and shell and the long catalogue of
well known and well marked diseases
incident TO warfare We refer to the
malady known as nostalgia. which is
the medical term for ''homts ness. "
When this queer disease scizos its vic
tim with a strong grip. he is almost as
sure 10 die as though his malady were
cholera Persons who die from nostal-
gia apparently die without cause for so
doing. but they die just rs dead as
though their ailment had been charac-
terized by the eruptions If smallpox or
the black yomit of yellow fever
Nostalgia is not strictly an American
disease. but has been known i'll all coun.
tries ever since men first became able to
distinguish between physical ailments
and cases of literal pining and fretting
ones life away. Bismarck once said
that for every 100 deaths in the army 7
were due to nostalgia or homesicknoss
