ID .ath of Omcar Molfa.

Off ,er J. D. Wolfe, who WAS shot
sometime ago ever in the Fork, by a
negro daspdrado he was trying to ar
rest, disd on Tuesday night of lss!
week. Mr.. Wolfe was getting on
very nicely and it was hoped that he
was on the road to recovery, when
secondary hemorrhage" from the
wound took place and he died in a
few minutes. It will os remembered
that Mr.. Wolfe was shot by negro
known as John Washington, alias
John Butler, while attempting to ar
rest the negro, armed with warrant
and being an officer OF the law. Mr..
Wolfe was a man past 50 years Of age
and leaves widow and number Of
children. He was very popular q
Ocangeburg and has been considered
the brayest and most trustworthy po-
liceman on the force. He has held
his position for about fifteen years,
which fact will prove that the city OF
O:angeburg has lost faithful and
valus Die police officer. TIE negro
who did the shooting has not yet been
captured, although every effort has
be en- made 10 fad the maa. The
night of the shooting posse was sent
INTO the country to search for him,
bat ne could not te found. Since
that time rot;co has been sent out to
various places for the authorities to be
on the lookout for him. and now
there stands a re ward Of $500 hanging
over his head. ltis to be hoped that
the polca will realize their exoecta
tons and the negro will be appre-
hended and made to pay the iu(l pen

Curious Pension Statistics.

The Richmond Dispatch, after study
ing the pension rolls OF the . Uaited
States discovers that 1000 Of these
veterans live abroad, in Europa and
Asia, drawing $500, 900 annually from
Uocle Sans treasury. Taere are II
American pension e-s in Belgium, S in
Holland, 665 in Great Britain, sol in
Germany, SIS in Mexico, 81 in France
and 79 in Switzerland. There is one
American pensioner in Egypt, and ne
gets 1920 year from the United
States government. There are two
ir the kingdom of Siam, six in Tur-
kew and one n the Az)res. There is
one American pensioner in Finland.
Another resides in E,uador. 4 .eother
resides on the Island Of Madeira. The
country which contributes the larger
number of pensioners to the govern
ment list is Canada, with total Of
1889. There are 29 in Italy, is in
Denmark, 81 in NorTay, snd Al IN
Sweden. Ia Russia the sesalnumoer
of pensioners is only six. There is one
pensioner of the i aite1 States in Ven
ezuela. but, he cannot be said to rank
very high on the scale OF lec ignition,
for he receives on S42 year. There
are three American pensioners IN the
Argentine. There is one in Roumania.
There are nine in Chill and twenty
four in British Columbia. Alaska
contains twenty. eight. TIE Augusta
Chronicle truly says the north drew
upon almost every nationality to IL
wade and Conquer the south, the most
purely and distiuctively American
sec.ion Of the Union. We were ex-
haus:ed By avoirdupois-weight OF
meat agaiast us-purchased IN every
market. Hessianism in the old revo-
luton was immensely discounted in
the war of 1861 IS, by our northern
brethren. Having, by such leVles,
freed the negro, the contest is now on
for the emancipation of the white
man from far worse bondage. The
true history of the late war will not be
written until the twentieth century.
Even distinguished y aion veterans
are now admitting that the impending
conflict for licersy ofthe white man
at the north will vastly overshadow
that of the com 9at ending with abol-
ishment Of negro slavery. The next
war will be a peaceful o,e. Ballots
will be used instead Of bullets, and
pensioners Will not be one OF its re-
suits.

A sheriff Cond deuped.

At Thursdays session of the Execu.
tive Council Of the American Fedora,
ton of Labor held at Washington, D.
c., the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That we declare the at
tack of Sheriff Martin and his deputies
at latimer on the marching miners
shea On strike was brutal unprovok-
ed massacre, inspired by the coal op-
orators Of that section to defeat the
demands OF the men for better condi'
tiops
Resolved, That the ever ready use
in late years of court irj motions,
armed force and state militia in lines
Of labor troubles is only part OF the
insidious programme to entirely sub
j,eate the workers Of America to the
most debasing degradation.
Resolved, That we condemn most
severely the wanton killing and
woundiog of the poor miners at l.atti
mer, ard will give our fullest help,
through the trade unions and the
American Federation Of Llbor, to
raise moneys for the legal prosecution
and conviction of Sheriff Martin and
bis murderous minions, that through
the courts of our land even handed
Justice may be done to atone for these
revolving murders. y

A horrible Deed.

4 dispatch from Kingstree to The
State says what came near being a
fratlicide occurred in this vicinity
Friday. Theodore Mckenzie, a deaf
mute OF about 30 years OF age, shot
bis brother, Walker Mckenzie, in the
face with a shotgun, which, it is said,
will cause the loss of both eyes and
Disagreement for life. Theodore Nc
Kerr is SAID to have been drunk or
drinking when be did tie shooting
and was not over FIVE or six feet away
from his brother when he shot him.
The gun wss only load=d with pow
der or iastant death would have been
the result, as the entire contents ofthe
gun was blown into the flesh of the
face, tearing and mutilating it in a
horrible manner. The wounded man
is suffering intense pain and while it
is not thought that it will kill him yet
he will be of little use o himself or
family the remainder of his life.

TIE Free silver . citation.

The gold hug advocates of high and
low degree are eternaIly in state of
terror lest confidence" be destroyed
and the hoped for era OF prosperity
Indefinitely postponed. If a man who
believes in silver opens his mouth in
deience OF the vbi:e metal he is
charged with being ''repudiator and
s. dis:urber OF public confidence" All
god tugs are awfally opposed to ''sg.
tia ion, unless they are allowed to do
it all, snd every time one Of their
prophecies fail, as all of them do soon
er or lister, they attribute the failure
to somo e:rid Thing said by some sil-
rite. But when has a gold bug fail
ed to agitate when be could gain any
thing thereby. Perhaps our este emed
gold bug contemporaries in this Stale
could tell US. The truth is" as The
n .tional Binetallist puts it, ''the gold
men got in tn .ir work secretly and
&c nonesized silver without lifting
anybody know it but themselves. Of
course silver could not be restored
without discussion and argument, or,
as they choose to term it, agitation
Ncr can any reform be inaugura'ed
without agitation" Those who are
the benefciaries OF a wrong are near
ly always opposed to It's undoing and
any effort to that end is character z 1
opprobriously as an ''sgitation." Bat
when they make an effort TO increase
their advant tages that is more elegant
ly designated movement for re-
form" The silver men have ''agita-
ted" and will continue to do so. The
gold men have 'agitated' and will
probably never cease until they are
Overwhelmingly beaten. BIT there
has always baen a marked difference
between the methods of the two class
es. The silverites have fought openly
and fairly. They know what they
want, why they want it, and honestly
give their reasons. The gold bugs on
the other hand, have invariably
fought under cover. There is not
leading advocate of the gold standard
in the United States who dares to pub.
Iicly give his true reason for demand.
ing that gold should be retained as the
sole metallic base of our monetary
system. We hope the advocates of
free silver will not allow themselves
sidetracked. Keep the matter before
the people, and silver will wio after
awhile, and then, and 4 ot before, will
general prosperity bless cur now pros
trated industries.

Trained SDarrows.

a barber in Kensington, England,
has trained common sparoTs from
the street to fly in ard out of his shop.
The birds are never molested by the
barber's customers, who have grown
as ION OF them as the barber himself.
Sometimes, when the room is pretty
well filed with the chirping little
fellows, the barber will make sweep
with his hand aud pretend to catch
fly. Lmmediatel y all the birds will
hutter over to him, and perch upon
his arms, shoulders, or knees, and
watch the hand in which the fly is
supposed to be i'm orisoned. The barber
opens his hand gradually, one finger
at a time, while the birds sit with
heads cooked to one side, expectantly
waiting for the priz,. Il there should
happen to be a fly there, there is
grand rush and scramble of chirp-
ing rivals.
