LEADING DRUGGISTS
1897.

TOR SIXTEEN YEARS, James M.
Il Starr has been behind the drugstore
counter in Yorkville. Eleven years he
has been in business for himself. During
that II years he has used his best efforts
to serve the people as best he could with
pure, fresh drugs and medicines at rea-
sonable prices. We have built up fairly
good trade, almost every year adding a
number of new customers to our list.
We are always glad to welcome new Gus
tomers-paying ones. Some years few
of our customers disappear from our
list-principally those who are going to
"pay next week"-and do not pay.
We expect to do business this year in
the same place-the Lindsay block-and
we intend to keep a firstclass stock OF
Drugs, Chemicals, Fluid Extracts, Pills,
Plasters and Patent Medicines.
A larger line of Tobacco than hereto
fore.
The best Cigars in town, and the most
popular brands of snuff.
We are specially anxious for the CASH
trade-we need it in our business but
should you not have the ready cash, we
will try to furnish you with what you
want, provided you can give US approved
collateral.
Thanking you for past patronage, wish
ing you happy and prosperous new
year, I am, yours for business,

NINE For BRYAN.-The State, 18th a:
The presidential electors for South
Carolina met yesterday in the Office of
the secretary Of state, formally cast
their ballots for Bryan and Sewall and
elected one of their number, elector
+. w. Stanland, messenger to carry
the returns to Washington. All the
nine electors were present as follows :
NJ. R. Cooper, T. Larry CAN'T, c. T.
Pritchard, r. B. Watson, G. B. Blease,
J. J. McMahan, w. d. Trau;ham, T.
w. Stanland and James Stackhouse.
When the vote was taken ElectOr
McMahan experienced what is meant
by the decay of modern chivalry. He
and Elector Stanland were the only
candidates for messenger. In voting
Mr.. McMahan cast his ballot for Mr..
Stanland, thinking that that gentle
man would return the compliment,
which would in no wise change the
result of the election. In this he
grievously erred, for Elector Stanland
is a plain, matter. of-fact man who,
knowing what he wants, goes for it
by the shortest cut, and without
frills. When he prepared his ballot
he wrote his own name thereon so
plain that it could not be mistaken.
When the vote was counted Elector
Stanland had fYe votes and Elector
McAIahan four. 1t was simple case.
Mr.. McMahan had defeated himself
by voting for his rival, while his rival
had brought about his own election
by voting for himself A friend of Mr.
McMahan moved that new vote be
taken, as there was evidently mis-
understanding. This, however, was
not done, so Elector Stanland viii
take the vote to Washington.

TEXANS WHIPPED THEM.-1n the
Cuban army there is body of 16(
Texans, and these Texans are hard
fighters. A Key West, Fla, dispatch
tells of an engagement they had with
the Spaniards last Friday.
1t had been learned that a detach.
ment of 800 Spanish cavalry was es.
corting a trainload of provisions to
Palacio, south of San Cristobal, and
the 160 Texans determined to see what
they could do about capturing some
spoils.
The Texans ambushed themselves
along the roadway on hillside, and
when the Spaniards came up, poured
a fierce fire into their ranks. The hill
was too steep to charge, and the Span
iards replied as best they could until
they found themselves subjected to a
cross fire from the other side of the
road, when they broke and ran.
Disregarding the attempts Of their
officers at restrainment, the Texans
followed the fleeing Spaniards down
the road. After getting the Texans
well out of shelter, the Spaniards, who
did not know but what their assailants
were ordinary .Cubans, turned back
and charged. The Texans met the
shock with full speed, and as the re-
suit, at the point of collision, there
was piled up confused mass Of men
and horses. The firing was quite
lively, and both sides were holding
their own until the second detachment
of Texans came up. and the Spaniards
again turned and fled.
Just before the Spaniards gave
way, they captured Lieutenant Stone
Of the rangers, and held him in their
front to embarrass the fire of his COM
rades. Notwithstanding the fact that
they were greatly outnumbered, how
ever, the capture of Stone made the
Texans even more desperate, and they
charged so fiercely that the Spauiards
were completely routed and Stone
released. Captain Pavinia, the Span
ish commander, was severely wound
ed, and was captured and carried off
by the Texans.
After the fight, the Texans returned
to the train, took possession of it and
carried it to Colonel Ronero's camp in
the hills. There were in the convoy
tents, arms, ammunition and provis-
ions. The Spaniards left on the field
Is dead and 40 wounded, while the
Texans loss was only 5 killed and IA
wounded.

shot, and next, another man taking
deliberate aim with a rifle, shot the
Negro in the back of the neck. The
bullet came out between the fellows
teeth, and he fell to the ground appar'
emily dead.
Just before, or Immediately after, he
was shot, Cooper Was searched and in
his pockets was found a loaded pistol
and two raZors, one of them clotted
with human blood, which was not yet
thoroughly dry. This is probably the
razor with which the fend cut the
throats of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson.
After laying on the ground for a
few minutes, the effect of the shock
caused by the rifle bullet passed OFT,
and Cooper became perfectly rational
again. He was helpless, however.
When asked what he had to say for
himself, he replied, "Not u Cd d-n
word" Then he began to swear most
horribly at John, his half-brother,
saying that if he could just get to kill
John, he could die and 60 to hell in
perfect contenlment. While he was
Still swearing aud raving, he was pick
ed up by the hands and feet and
thrown into one-horse wagon on his
face. "Burn him ~ shouted somebody,
and Cooper replied, "You may burn
me and be damned J"
In the meantime, the crowd had
started with the Negro for Sumter. A
rope had been attached to the wagon,
and a long line of men had hold OF it.
The deputy sheriff was in charge, try
ing to guard against frequent attempts
on the part of the excited people to
get at the Negro. Suddenly, the dep
uty sheriff was seized from behind by
three or four men, and at about the
same instant, half dozen others
threw a rope around Cooper's neck,
pulled the fellow out Of the wagon,
dragged him on the ground a short
distance to sweetgum tree, and swung
him up. Then the crowd got back
some distance and fired bullets through
the swaying body until it was literally
riddled.
The rope by which the Negro was
suspended was cut. by bullets, and
within few minutes after the body
had fallen to the ground in heap, the
coroner, who had been near the scene
all the while, summoned jury of in
quest from among the participants in
the lynching. Some little testimony
was taken in a half serious manner,
and verdict was returned to the ef-
feet that the Negro had come to his
death by violence at the hands of
"parties unknown"
Cooper was about 6 feet high, weigh
ed ITS pounds, and was 80 years of
age. He was a grandson of John
Ashmore, notorious desperate who
died about 80 years ago, and some peo-
pie account for his actions by the
Ashmore blood in his veins, while
others think that after the first murder
committed on Emancipation day, he
came to the conclusion that he would
be hanged anyway, and just decided
to put in the remainder of his time
quenching an Unsuitable thirst for
blood.

ALL In A MUDDLE.-From trust
worthy information gathered, it seems
that the new county of Cherokee is in
something of muddle. The sections
of White Plains and Cherokee town.
ships of Spartanburg, never signed the
petition to create the new county.
Cherokee of York county will send
down delegation to Columbia asking
for ii miles to he retained in York
county, and the township of Gowdys-
vile in Union county, will also ask for
about 20 miles from that section, which
is on an average of 20 miles from
Gafiney.
1t is reported that cutting off north
of Pacolet, as has been voted on, re.
duces Union county far below 500
miles. 1t is said again that the new
county of Cherokee does not contain
over $50 square miles, as it covers
only about one-half of White Plains,
which contains only So miles and one
fifth of Cherokee, which contains 80
miles.
Again, the failure to comply with
all the requirements Of the constitu-
ton in voting for its creation, the loca-
ton, the name and the proposed boun.
dares were not presented in the pc
tition to the governor. Finally, it is
said, the governor will be asked to
recommend committee to investi-
gate the conduct of the election mana.
gers in regard to not having the regis
tration books at the precincts, or i'll
short, the last general assembly failed
to provide plan for holding new
