Last Monday in tho section of the
country between LOwndesyillo and
Antrcvillo, in Abboville county, Lama,
Clinksalcs, white man about forty five
years of age, shot with shotgun Marcus
Winn, another white man nearly 60 years
of age and who was faithful Confcde
rate soldier. After lingering week
Winn died Tuesday morning. The trou
bic arose over Winn's having moved his
wifo's half-sistor from the noighborhood
to Anderson Court House on account OF
the i'll treatment she received at tho
hands of Clinkscalcs and by whom sht
had several childron. Winn has had
the reputation of being quiet, hard
tho other hand Lamar Clinkscalcs has
for years been hard drinker and looked
upon as a turbulent, desperate man.

The Late Congressman Overstrcct.

We asked a few days ago who could
tell anything about Congressman Over
street, of this State, who, it has been
said, died at Concord, N. c., in 1922, on
his way home from Washington, and
was buried there. Just after we asked
tho question VIC saw communication in
another paper saying that he was from
Barnwoll, and hc was tho great grand
father of President IIartzog, of Clemson
College. IIo was buried thcrc on ac-
count of the inferior facilities for trans.
portation.-Chestor Lantern.

allows the jurics to be drawn differently,

During the remainder of tho session,
cases could be tried only by consent.

it was shame that this common

Knut, 1t is true, was beginning to

Only one path led to the top of the

Knut's farm. On the following Satur-

cend the mountain and was passing by
the side of the barn, he suddenly felt
the grip of a strong arm around his
throat.
What do you want of me?" asked
Thore. He swung himself around
dextrously and threw his assailant
into the thicket.
You will know soon enough what
we want of you," said another, who
dealt him severe blow on his breast.
This was Aslaug's brother.
