when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-

though in the struggle he choked her and
tore her clothes and finally attempted to
kill her with knife, cutting an ugly cash
across her throat, fortunately not very
deep. Her screams caused negro who
was working in field near by to come to
her rescue, upon whose approach the vii.
lain fed.

Quickly spread and a party Immediately

offered for his arrest, and the chase was
kept up until last Friday, when he was
captured near Ninety-six, in Greenwood
county. He was taken in charge by q
posse numbering $50 men, who brought
him back to Aiken county. Soon after
they crossed the line, about five o'clock
Saturday morning, he was hanged to

DIR. ElWell Drops Dead.

DR.. P. H. Elwell, a prominent mem
her of the South Carolina Conference,
and pastor of the Methodist church in
Bambers several years ago, died suddenly
in Columbia last Saturday afternoon
while sitting in barber shop waiting to
be shaved.
DR.. Elwell' was stationed at Spring
Street in Charleston this year, and had
gone to Columbia to deliver an anniver-
sary sermon to lodge of Knights OF
Pvthias. He arrived about noon and IN
the afternoon about four o'clock went to
the barber shop. He was sitting quietly
awaiting his turn when the barber heard
a sound as if some one were choking, and
turning saw that something was the mat
ter with DR.. Elwell. He sprangto his side
at once and doctor was summoned, but
the noble old preacher had received his
summons, and death came almost instant
ly. Appoplexy' was the cause, and ne
died peacefully and without struggle.
The body was at once taken charge OF
by friends, and was carried to Charleston
Sunday morning.
DR.. Elwell had many friends in BAN
berg, and our people feel sense Of per
sonal loss. He leaves widow and three
children, one daughter being the wife o.

dist church at Denmark.
