an old trouble between the two men.
Powers is said to have gone to Richey's

at home at the time, but soon came.
The men sat and talked heartily for
sonic time, when Powers said he would
get his horse and Richey went with
him and aided in saddling the horse.

Richey as if to ask him some question,
and as Richey looked Powers shot him
in the head, killing him instantly.

The Columbia correspondent Of the
Ncws d Courier says that Gov. McSwec-
ney has received q letter from Honea
Path, in which the writer says that the
portion of Donald's Township which
wanted to go to Anderson County has
voted so to do. The writer says that
the vote stood 90 to 5, and then he goes
on to give sarcastic report of how the
supervisors OF registration tried to run
things. He says that the vote would
have been much larger had the super
visors not scnta book for 1896, and said
that they had lost the book with the
list of registered voters since that tilde.
If the voters who had registered since
then had been available, he says, the
vote would have been larger. Then he
goes on to say that several voters were
allowed to vote who had registered
since that time, because the supervisor
had forgotten to lose" the stub book
in which was recorded the list of some
of the most recent OF those who had
been registered. He seemed to think
there were 4 great many dirty
schemes" but was satisfied with the
result.
Last Monday afternoon Mr.. w. l..
Dean, who lives near Deans, was as
saulted by negro woman who lived
on his plantation and painfully cut in
several places, severing an artery in
one of his arms. The negro owned q
cow, which would frequently get out
of the pasture and invade Mr.. Deans
crop. On Monday afternoon the COW
was again seen in the fields, and Mrs.
Dean sent her little son to capture the
COW. The negro saw the little boy af-
ter the cow and came out to attack
the boy, who notified his mother. Mrs.
Dean came to her sons rescue and or
dered the negro to leave. The negro
refused to go and threatened Mrs.
Dean, who then sent for Mr.. Dean.
AS the boy started off the negro threw
rocks at him, one or two knocking him
down. The boy, however, kept going
and found his father, who returned and
told the woman she had to leave his
plantation ut once. She cursed Mr..
Dean, who picked up Il switch and
threatened to whip her. The woman
then advanced on Mr. Dean with 4
concealed razor, which she used with
all her force. Doctors Wilhite and
Harris attended Mr. Dean and dressed
his wounds, which are very painful,
