Cotton Factory last Sunday after
noon at o'clock and quickly spread
to the ware house, completely con-
Stunning these buildings and their
contents, and damaging residence
close by to small extent. The loss
was about l,500, and no insurance

OF the property. The insufficiency

TRAGEDY AT MT. PLEASANT.
Bud Phillips shoots and Kills DO
Hightower.


Hightnwer.
The usually quiet and peaceable
little town Of Mt. Pleasant was
thrown into a state of excitement
Tuesday by the killing Of Doc High
tower by w. T. Bud Phillips. The
participants were both white men
and well-knOwn at thatplace. There
were several versions Of the story in
regard to the matter, but the facts
as we learn them from a reliable
source, seem to about as follows:
Phillips aud Hightower had en-
gagged i'm a quarrel during the first
part Of the day. and it is said that
Hightower struck Phillips. The lat
ter went off up town, and returned
during the afternoon and called
Hightower ont Of the place where
he was working. HightOwer came
out and started towards Phillips
and was still advancing when Phil
lips pulled his pistol and fired
shooting four times, three balls TAX
ing effect in his assailant's head and
one in his side, causing death in a
few minutes. When found, High
tower, it is claimed, had an open
knife i'm his hand.
After the shooting Phillips went
Immediately to livery-stable near
by, procured a horse and left the
town at a rapid gait. The officers
knew nothing of the killing until
an hour afterwards, when Sheriff
Webb was telephoned for and went
to the scene. Chase was given, but
it was found that Phillips had turn
ed off the main road few miles from
town, and search had to be aban-
doned for that day. Next morning
the horse which Phillips rode away
was found hitched in front of the
stable where it belonged, but how il
came there nobody seems to know
HightOwer was a married man
and had five children. He has been
working in the phosphate mines
and though peaceable when sober
was considered a dangerous man
when under the influence of whisky
Both men were drinking that day
Phillips is unmarried; he formerly
lived in Columbia, and was a saloon
keeper.

A raioUrt 20 MISS ANTHONY.

VIII Alien I,romsooic Speaks OF Her ~
the "@utiier OF a Great Cause"
Miss Will Allen Dromguole, tho pop
ular southern arthor, gave ~ address
at the Capital college in Atlanta recent
ly, and paid high tribute to Miss Au
thony, which was warmly applaudcd.
She said:
1t is great thing to DO tho mother Of
q great cause. Years ago there flashed
upon the world woman. She had no
other announcement than the wild
scheme" she had moihered. Wherever
she went the hiss, tho STEER, the finger
Of scorn were sure To follow. Yet she
pushed right ON, the imIlac able enemy
of slavery in vanity's dress, the mother
Of an unborn cause. To me she stands
majestic among women. To me she is
the granGest picture in the book Of our
time. To me, like the prayer Of my
childhood, tho name of Susan b. An
thony holds something grandly, solemn.
ly, pathetically, magniiicently sacred.
Whatever may have been hor plumbers,
whatever her faults, still she fought for
women. And since she fought for WON
en-, in the name of womanhDod let no
woman cast stone at her.
She Is one Of those who will never
die. Her name will go laundering down
the ages long after You and I are for
gotten, while her cause, the child for
which she sacrificed so much that makes
q woman's life dear to her, will live,
and throh and thrive and flourish long
after she has found refuge under moss
and marble. And her name shall out
wear the marble that shall cover her
great heart. Posterity shall weave for
her crown that old Time caunot touch.
You may refuse her hearing today,
deny her the rose aIid the laurel, but to-
morrow shall avenge her, and already
that Tomorrow is dawning. Upon the
western slope whers her sub goes down
already tho rose Of the new day is re
6ecting.
Already the world has caught her
message; already the ear Of woman is
nttuned tt its m gaming; already tho
multitudc1rise up 10 "call her Blessed
already upon the threshold IF life stands
the new oman, the creature Of her in
spiration, knocking for recognition,
And as Moses refuged to he called the
son Of Phalaoh's daughter, SO this new
woman refuses longer to be regarded
merely as mans Amusement and step
daughter to- Adams sparerib.
