Two fire. alarms in one day is some-
thing unusual in Anderson, but that
was her record yesterday. About 8
o'clock yesterday morning the first
alurm sounded. The fire was in a small
house occupied by negro in the north
eastern suburbs of the city, near the
steam laundry, and was extinguished
before the firemen reached it. The
damage was slight. The second alarm
called out the fire department about 1
o'clock p. III. The fire was in the two
story brick building opposite the
County2Jail. Thc building is occupied
by negroes and owned by Capt. j. w.
Daniels. Three steams of water were
turned on the building and in IL short
while the firemen we're the victors.
The building was only slightly injured,
but nearly all of its contents were de-
stroyed or damag ID. 1t is not known
how the fire originated.
The WILLIAMSON correspondent Of
the Gre envillc Ners, under date Of the
1st inst, says: Barney Owens, far
mer living near Grove Creek between
Pelzer and the Augusta road, met with
q horrible accident yesterday afternoon
that cost him his life. He had driven
his mule attached to buggy to see his
sUn-inlaw near Piedmont, and on his
return the mule became frightened and
dashed off, throwing him violently to
the ground. His head struck stump,
knocking him senseless and fracturing
his skull. The unfortunate man was
carried home Mt once and medical aid
called in, but he never regained con-
scicusness, lingering until o'clock
this morning, when death relieved him.
1T is said that he was considerably un-
der the influence of liquor, which
doubtless accounts for k:s untimely
death. A wife and several children
survive him.
Last Satu rday night about o'clock
at Bolton, Elias Green, negro, shot
and seriously wounded Tom. Hender-
son, an operative in the Bolton cotton
mill. Green and another negro were
In store near the mill when crowdof
boys from the mill came in and accus-
ed Green of having cursed one of their
number a few days preceding. Green
denied the charge and q quarrel ensued.
The proprietor of the store ordered the
whole crowd out of his door, and when
Green reached the sidewalk several
rocks were thrown at him. Green
pulled his pistol, fired into tie crowd
and fled. The news of the shooting
spread rapidly, considerable excitement
was aroused and n crowd started out to
capture the negro. In the meantime
Sheriff Green was notified over the tel
ephone of the affray and in q short while
Deputy Dillingham;, with his blood
hound, reached Bolton and took up the
trail of the fleeing negro, who was cap
tured near Honea Path, where he had
stopped to spend the night. Mr.. Dill
lingham brought the negro Mt once to
this city and lodged him in jail.
