Homicide In Greenwood,

Saluda, Oct. 9.-The meagre
details of a homicide on Sunday
night, just across the Saluda
like, in Greenwood county, were
received here yesterday evening.
1t appears that J. L. QUITS,
white, on his return home after
dark found two negroes engaged
in a fisticuff in his yard. He
endeavored to stop the row and
became involved himself. Going
for his gun he returned and
tried to shoot one of the negroes,
but could not get far enough
away from him to draw a bead
Finally he changed ends of the
weapon and struck the negro
across the head, breaking off
the stock. By this time, the
story goes, the other negro then
closed in on him and received
what virtue there was in the
barrel across his head. His
skull was crushed and death
ensued almost instantly, near
noon yesterday.-News & Cou-
rier.

killing him instantly. The

Bids for New Battle Ships.

Washington, Oct. 10.-There
promises to be a lively com
petition for building the new
battle ships and cruisers, and
several of the ship-building in
dustries already have their rep
resentatives here securing the
specifications for the ships pre-
paratory to submitting bids.
These include some yards which
have not thus far done any gov
ernment work. The present
low price of steel is expected by
naval officials to result in Civ
ing the government the ad-
vantage of low bids. The build
ers state that steel shapes and
frames can be bought now for
IL cents per pound as against
z IL a short time ago, and this
IN the aggregate makes a very
large item of cost.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
GOT OUT OF THE EN-
VELOPE.
Gustav Ecksteln Is Trying to Solve
the Mystery. A Very Queer
Problem.

New York, Oct. 11.-Gustay
Eckstein, a New York represen-
tative OF a Savannah, Ga, whole.
sale cotton house and one Of the
partners in it, is trying to find
what has become of 900 which
he claims was in an envelope
sent by express marked $4,000
but said TO have contained double
that sum, when it was dispatched.
On being opened at it's destina
tion only 5000, it is declared,
was forthcoming.
One day last week Mr.. Ecks-
tein went TO the Central National
bank, where he is a depositor,
and drew a check for $4,000,
asking the cashier, Mr., Young,
for bills of large denomination.
He was given nine $1,000 bills
and two $500 bills. Then he
asked the cashier to have them
put in a large envelope as he
wanted TO send the money by ex-
press. This was done and the par
eel was handed to him.
Then, according to the story
told by the cashier, the cotton
merchant took pen and marked
the evelepe "$5,000." That done,
he returned it to the cashier and
requested him to forward it to
the cashier and requested him to
forward it to Savannah, along
with the rest of the bank business.
The envelope was directed to
Eckstein's brother, who is at the
head of the Savannah house. Mr..
Young took it and Mr.. Eckstein
left the bank.
At the close of business Eek
STEMS package, marked $4,000,
was taken to the office of the
Adams Express company by a
messenger of the bank. A receipt
was issued for it as marked and
it was forwarded together with
the other packages that had come
from the same bank.
Nothing was heard Of the mat
ter until late Tuesday night and
then Gustay Eckstein got tele-
gram from his brother in Savan-
nah saying that the envelope had
been received but it contained
only $4,000. 1t is said that Gus.
tay Eckstein had written his
brother of the transaction and
that the envelope would contain
10000.
