Probably a Murder.
Columbia State, Wednesday: A gen.
tleman who came in on the train from
Rock Hill last night, reports very Sc
rious affray near that city yesterday.
Two young men named Deas and Sims
became involved in a difficulty in the
Manchester cotton mill, about two
miles from the city. Sims struck Deas
on the head with some blunt instru-
ment. The latter's skull was crushed.
Dr. J. E. Massey, Jr, who attended the
wounded man, expected to be able to
lift the skull from the brain, but he
was afraid of cerebral hemmorrhage
Sims fled and had not been captured
last night.
ExcursfOn to Columbia.
AS has been announced, the lockhart
Cornet band has arranged to run big
excursion from Lockhart to Columbia
and return, on Saturday, July l3. A
train Of seven cars has been secured,
and the railroad company has agreed
to put the train ut the railroad station
by sundown Friday evening, to be
ready for a prompt start the next
morning. The band people have been
talking up the occasion for weeks, and
they hope to take with them scores of
people from the adjoining portions Of
York, Chester and Union counties. The
authorities Of Hyatt Park, Columbia,
have given assurance Of special enter
tainment to the eXcursionists, and the
Columbia people generally are looking
forward with pleasure to the occasion.
1t is the first enterprise Of the kind
that the Lockhart Cornet band has
attempted; but there is enough enthu-
siasm among those interested to make
1t big success.
Monuments to the Soldiers.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday,: That
is a clarion call Of Civis, which he
makes to the young soldiers Of our city
to come to the help Of the good women
of Ebenezer and Rock Hill-the 8. D.
Barron Chapter u. D. Gin the patri-
otic effort they are making to erect
monument to o>the memory Of the Con-
federate soldiers, living and dead, who
went forth from this community to bat
tie for a cause which though lost was
as just and is still as just as any for
which sword was ever drawn. While
we must commend the movement at
Yorkville, and glory in its success, the
present duty Of the people Of this COM
munity Is to strengthen the hands Of
our own mothers and sisters and wives
in the work Of love which they have
undertaken so as to perpetuate In en-
during manner the heroism and devo-
ton to duty Of our fathers and brothers
and husbands. The 8. D. Barron U. D.
c., has been adding in a modest way
to their fund, until they now have
their efforts to erect q monument. It
would therefore be a very regrettable
circumstance If the people in this COM
munity were to give preference to any
other movement. OF course, we are
not saying one word against the York.
Vile proposition to erect monument
there; but If 1t is to interfere with the
project of our home ladies, we do not
think the people of this community are
ready for it.
Bowling Green Safe Blowers.
The reporter has gathered some ad-
ditional particulars as to the safe blow
ing incident at Bowling Green last
Monday morning; but as yet there is no
clue to the burglars. 1t appears that
suspicious looking individuals were
seen around Glover Saturday night,
and an Sunday Messrs. Knox discov-
cred that their smithshop had been
broken into and robbed Of certain tools.
A brace and bit, afterward found under
lIlC ololC VI HCSoio iohho6dhp Woo
Identified as belonging to Messrs. Knox.
The burglars had other tools, however,
that they had gotten elsewhere. They
stole from Messrs. Knox a monkey
wrench and wood working chisel that
have not since been recovered. The
statement published Wednesday to the
effect that Mr.. w. B. Flanagan went
out to the store door, was incorrect. Mr..
Flanagan was fired on by the bur-
glars on his appearance at the door Of
his residence. He did not see the bur-
glars but as soon as he could get a
revolver, fired several shots in the di-
rection he thought they had taken.
While the explosion inside the store
was violent enough to throw the safe
door quite a distance, 1t did no other
damage. The money that had been in
the safe was scattered about promiscu-
ously inside the building. The burglars
did not re-enter the building after the
explosion, having been frightened away
by the appearance Of Mr.. Flanagan.
An effort was made to follow The bur-
glars with bloodhounds; but the trail
was lost at Pleasant Ridge. Glover
people think that the original design
of the burglars were against some place
in that town; but their discovery by
the night watchman gave them the hint
to move on.
