Shot to Death.

SPARTANBURG. Aug. 16.-One of the
saddest and most shocking tragedies ever
known In this county occurred here to-
day. Capt. j. II. Blassingame, one of the
oldest and most respected citizens of the
town, was shot and instantly killed this
afternoon about o'clock. Capt. Blassin-
game was at his brother-in-laW's house,
having gone there while the family we're
away, for the purpose of protecting it
from the robbers, as it had been for sew :
eral Sundays past broken into and
robbed ofjewelry and silyerware. While
he was lying on sofa in the hall he
heard noise, and upon going in he was
fired at by the negro. Ten shots were
fired, and it is supposed that both did the
shooting, as two pisto 8 were found lying
empty in the room. Capt. Blsssingame
was shot twice through the heart.
A short time after the shooting p negro
by the name of Chris Cannon was found
at his home suffering from pistol wound
in his left side, and it is supposed that he
did the shooting. Cannon is noted thief
and has for some time been suspected.
Cannon's wound is thought to be fatal.
Great excitement prevails, but the law
will take its course.
Capt. Blassingame was about G4 years
ofage. He was one of the best known
men in the up country and had held Of
flee in this county longer than any other
man. He served as sheriff and treasurer
for years and years. He was at one time
chief of police. He served through the
war, and braver soldier never drew q
sword. Before the war he was colonel
in the United States army.
Another negro by the name of Johnson
has Just been arrested as an accomplice
to the killing.-Specialto Columbia State

Help the Orphans.

Tho Thornwell Urphanage, located in
Clinton, South Carolina, Is Just now in
need of bread to supply its large family OF
one hundred and fifty. A barrel of flour
will feed one person for a year. Surely
there are in the State very many who
could afford to ship to that institution one
barrel of -four or rice or syrup. or at least
a sack of meal, to provide for at least one
child
This institution is most liberal in its
dealings with the fatherless. It Is In no
sense local, only one child from Clinton
orphans are from every Southern State.
children are in the institution, to. day, of
Baptist and Methodist parentage than OF
Presbyterian. 1t was the pioneer institu.
tion to refuse legal control over its orphan
wards, preferring to restrain them by the
power of love than of bars and bolts. 1t
educates its pupils literally and sends them
out qualified to care for themselves, and
hence does not, and does not need, to bind
them out.
1t needs aid because it Is endowed only
with the love of charitable people, be-
cause it refuses to receive any orphan able
to pay any part of its own expenses, max
ing the absolute dependence of the child a
prerequisite for admission.
Two Cottages are now going up, both
built by Northern friends or this Southern
institution. and 30 the family will be in.
creased to $50 or 1G0 in the early fall.
Who can refuse to help? Send gifts to

COMPARE THESE STATEMENTS.

The following ia the letter written by
Col. D Maxwell in reference to the In
surance matter, and which was read at the
Florence. Getting:
Anderson, S. c., July 90, 1896.
Hon. Joseph II. Earle, Greenville, c.:
Dear Sir-I have been requested to give
you the following facts in reference to the
insurance Of the dispensary at this place :
The entire risk had been placed, at the
opening up of the dispensary, in Ander-
son, in my agency of the London and LiV-
erpool and Globe Insurance Co. At 2 per
cent, being the Southeastern Tariff Asso-
citation rate on saloons in that location.
The said Southeastern Tariff Associs:
ton, on the 9th November, 1894, issued
the enclosed slip, which explains itself,
and on the eceipt of same gave notice
insurance at II per cent. Did not get the
renewal, but was informed that the busi-
ness had been placed, by the State Board
OF Control at Coumbis, in Mr.. B. B..
Evans agency, at the old rate of . per
cent. Very respectfully.
(Signed) j. D. maxwell.
The following is the language used by
Gov. Evans in reference to the above let.
ter, as reported by the daily press OF the
State:
"Why did not that thief who had been
getting from the State IL Of per cent,
more on insurance than it was worth, not
inform the authorities of it before he was
about to lose the ,insurance?'
"Governor Evans said these people at
tempt to break him down with the testi-
mony of man who convicts himself OF
stealing of per cent of this insurance
money"
Here is Gov. Evans statement Of what
he said at Florence, aud bis apology to
Col. Maxwell:
Fellow citizens" said Gov Evans, "be-
fore proceeding wish to make state
ment. at Florence, stated in reference
10 some insurance OF the dispensary in
Anderson, that if the agent ofthe mpany
Mr.. Max well-sfter be received notice of
his company that dlspensaries could be
insured tor cheaper rates and failed to do
so, that Mr.. Maxwell had robbed the State
of the difference. Mr.. Maxwell assures me
10 day that it was not in his power to
make the reduction before he notified the
dispenser of bis willingness to do so.
II desire to say here, in justice to Mr..
Max we'll, he not having it In his power to
make the reduction, that any words of In
justice of mine, retract here in the pres.
ence of bis people. never did any man
a wrong knowingly. If it is brought to
my attention that have done any man an
injustice, hav 10 the manhood to ecknoWl-
edge it,"
Read the letter, read the charges, and
then read the statement and apology. No
comment is necessary. Ananias could not
have done better job.
