HOLLOWAY OVERHAuLEO.
DR.. Williams Finds Him in Philadelphia
and Gets Partial Restitution.

LAKE CITY, s. g., May IA, 1902,
-Special-A little further infor-
nation with regard to Holloway
and the berry growers can now be
given to tie public. The victims
got together Saturday night and
discussed the situation fully. The
result was that they sent DR.. A.
II. Williams to Philadelphia Sun
day morning for the purpose OF
finding Holloway, if possible, and
of making an effort to secure
something for those who have
been feeced. DR.. Williams in
forms US that he found Holloway
in Philadelphia; that he had Sc
cured payment of all the claims
except those of j. NJ. Kennedy,
w. +. Kennedy and 5. L. Floyd;
that he>bad secured $50 on j. NJ.
Kennedy's; $3.50 OH W. +. Kenne-
dy's and $175 on s. +. Floyd's;
that the remainder might be got
ten later on; and that The only
losers, if any, would be the two
Kennedys and probably Floyd.
This will lie cheering news to
most of those who are deeply in
terested. Little hopes were en-
tertained a few days ago that any
redress would be obtained. We
feel safe in saying that had these
growers not followed advice and
had they not sent DR.. Williams, or
some equally clear headed, ener-
getic and shrewd man, to Phila-
delphia, no satisfaction or redress
would have been secured.

such advice valuable. i have also

Married in Charleston.

day, the 18th of April, DR.. John
Devanie Williams, of this city,
and Miss Mabel Alice Dye, of
Charleston, S. o., were united in
matrimony at Bethel church, Rev.
J. w. Kilgo officiating.
1t has been many years since
so pretty wedding has taken
place even in that beautiful old
historic city. The church was
most artistically decorated with
quantities Of smilaX, delicate trail
ing vines, handsome potted plants
and cut flowers. The bridesmaids
wore gowns OF white chiffon with
girdle, stock and pon--pon of pink
liberty satin and carried large
bouquets of pink carnations. Miss
Annie Dye, only sister of the
bride, and who acted as maid ol
honor, looked lovely in gown o.
pink liberty silk and a veil, and
carried a beautiful bouquet Of
pink La France roses.
AS the bridal party reached the
church they formed in couples OF
two gentlemen and two lsdies, and
to the strains ofthe wedding march
rendered by Prof. Theodore D.
Ruddoer. they entered the church,
the bridesmaids going within the
chancel and standing so as to form
a pyramid, while the groomsmen
and ushers formed just outside the
altar. The maid of honor coming
IN alone, took her place at the al
tar, and was followed by two little
flower girls in pink organdy gowns
who preceded the bride. The bride
wore magnificent gown Of meta
lin silk, a long, beautifully draped
veil and natural flowers, and car
ried a very handsome bouquet OF
brides roses and lilies of the val
lev. Leaning on the arm Of her
father, she was met at the altar
by the groom and his best man,
DR.. James A. Cole, of Brunswick,
Ca, while The two little pages who
had managed the gates 10 the fam
lily circle, followed and each took
their places by flower girl. The
arrangement of it ali formed a
tableau long to be remembered by
the host OF invited friends. A re-
ceptlon to the invited guests was
rendered by DR.. and Mrs. Williams
Immediately after the ceremony,
at which most delightful repast
was much enjoyed.
DR.. Williams has been citizen
of Eastman for the past eighteen
months, and during that time has,
by his gentlemanly demeanor and
expertness as a dental practitioner,
built up lucrative practice.
While Mrs. Williams is as yet
stranger TO US. we learn that she
is of one of the best families of
Charleston, the posessor OF many
noble traits of character, hand
some and intellectual, and we
sincerely hope she will soon be-
come thoroughly attached to our
little city and people.

FROM CLEMSON COLLEGE,
RECENT TROUBLE FROM A STU.
DENTS STANDPOINT.

Appreciates the Sound Advice from
the Sage Of Possum Fork" to
College Men.
Editor County Record:
For nearly two weeks a burning
question has stood before the faculty
and students of this institution, de-
manding. as the editor of the estate"
would add, "the grave consideration
of every citizen of South Carolina" "
However. it is probable that every
one who chances to scan these lines
has already read or heard full ac-
count of the whole affair; so that it
is entirely unnecessary for me to re-
hearse the matter even though it
should deserve, as l shall explain, a
more detailed notice.
Now, as an explanation of what |
have in the last few words intimated
and with which l think every one
will agree-it is necessary only to
say that such notes of discord as
may arise around the camp fire need
not be turned over to the trumpeter
with instructions that every evening
at retreat they be footed along the
line of operation. Such matters, as
every one well knows, are far more
easily adjusted where they orlgi-
mated. Too many editorials and
comments from those who are strict
ly allen 10 the existing conditions
are apt to promulgate erroneous ideas
and lnhibit adequate investigations.
As matter of fact, many false no.
tions have already been scattered
abroad, all of which have so far
been corrected through the same
channels, except one which would
have done harm had it received the
notice expected. This one is the
dubious manner in which the action
of the faculty has been made to
appear. 1t is enough TO say that no
one who knows anything about this
institution has ever accused the
faculty of vacillation, or questioned
the expediency of its acts; and this
leads us to the question: Why then
should President Hartzog's admins
tration be so severely criticised that
1t became necessary to call special
meeting of the trustees fol lnvesti-
CATION? This l shall not explain, as
it is out of place here, but will say
as result of the meeting which
took place Thursday evening and
lasted until noon of the following
Saturday, before which committees
of the ex sophomore, the Junior and
the senior classes appeared and pre-
sented their cases: That (l) the
suspended cadet be reinstated: that
CD the sophomore class be reinstated;
and that (3) President Hartzog's ad-
ministration be investigated. After
hearing all facts the board decided
that Cadet Thornwell be reinstated,
and that every one of the sopho-
mores be taken back upon his appli-
cation to the president and upon
passing, Internationally, all examin-
ations that they would have received

HOMICIDE OR ACCIDENT?
WIDELY DIFFERENT vERSlONS.OF
w. X. HOllEMAN'S DEATH.
Witnesses State that Brown Shot Him,
While Brown Claims that Hol-
leman Shot Himself,

StSk
Oar community was shocked
last Monday afternoon by the
tragic death Of Mr.. W. H. Holle-
man. as the result of which his
brother-ln-law, Harry II. Brown
is in Jail charged with having
committed the crime. The two
men, who live together, about ten
miles from town, came 10 Kings
tree Monday morning in a wagon
and, after making some purchases,
started to return home. The
shooting occurred near Belser's X
Roads, four ard a halt miles from
town. Brown left the dead man
in the road and drove on to Gree
leyville, where he tod his story
of the aflair. Magistrate j. V.
Windham quickly repaired to
the scene of the tragedy, empan-
eled coloner's jury and pro-
ceeded tn hold the inquest. The
jury was composed Of the follow
ing members: j. r. Hair, fore
man, 9. G. McGhee, w. H. Nc
Ghee, r. E. Mcknight, Geo.
Hughes. J. w. Tlmmons, j. ID.
Minis, F. D. Brayboy, A. B.Spivey,
7. D. Bradham, S. A. Scott j. A.
Bradham, j. r. Bradham and @.
Il. McGhee.
The only witnesses to the affair
were two negro women, whose
testimony was substantially the
same. Being a short distance
ahead of the wagon they heard
scme one cry out: ''By God,
stopw Then little later: "You
are fixing to get your head broke"
They looked and saw Holle-
man jerk Brown across a bale OF
hay and commence to beat him;
whereupon Brown drew a pistol
and shot his assailant.
Browns testimony was entirely
different. He said that Holleman
had shot at bird from the wagon
and afterwards was breeching and
unbreeching his pistol with the
muzzle pointing towards himself
when it was accidentally dis
charged. He said further that he
and Holleman were perfectly
friendly, and that he (Brown)
never carried Il pistol. When the
pistol was fired the horse took
fright and ran a short distance,
which caused Holleman to fall out
of tine wagon and one of the
wheels ran over his body. Find
ing that Holleman was dead he
drove on 10 Greeleyville and re-
ported that Holleman had acci-
dentally killed himself.
Other witnesses swore that on
his way to Greeleyville, after the
shooting, Browns face was
smeared with blood from nose to
chin. Browns explanation Of
this was that the conclusion Of
the pistol, SO near to him when it
fired. caused his nose to bleed.
Tie shooting took place about !
p. m. and the inquest was held at
4. After hearing the evidence
the coroner's jury rendered the
following verdict: That the de-
ceased came to his death from a

A few days more than forty years ago
was fought the battle of Antietam, one of
the most destructive and decisive battles
of the civil war. A more beautiful country
than that around the little village of Sharps-
burg, Md, would be hard to find. In fact,

for such a bloody conflict as that which
made her soil historic. An undulating coun-
try it is; the fields are today given over to

stud the roadways and the monuments that
have been erected by survivors of the diff
ferent regiments that participated IN the
battle there would be nothing to suggest
that once the soil was saturated with the

Not few there are who recall with vivid
ness the days of September 1862, when SOL

OF booming cannon and the rattle OF mus
kerry told too plainly the contest for SUI
premacy.

the journey are tablets erected by the gov
eminent. These tell infinitely the positions
of both Union and confederate forces. Even
in the fields there are tablets, for the whole
country, embracing a distance of perhaps
half dozen miles, was fought over.
The Antietam valley is famed for its fer
tile farms, Its abundance of pure water,
the hospitality Of it's citizens, and the beau
tiful scenery with which it abounds. The
town is historic, having been laid out five
years after the close Of the French and
Indian war. 1t was the headquarters OF
the Delaware tribe of Indians. Three miles
south of the town, at place known the
Antietam iron works, in the year 1s.2, a
terrible battle was fought between the Cat
awabas and Delawares, which resulted in
the determination of the Delawares. Cen
eral Washington twice passed through
Sharpsburg on his way up the Potomac in
the early days of the town.
In the public square diamond stands
the old Grove house, where General Lee
held conference with General Longstreet
on September II. The field headquarters of
General Lee were in a patch Of woods at
the west end Of the town. Sharpsburg was
loyal and true to the Union during the war;
The town and district furnished at least
200 soldiers. They enlisted in what was
known as the Potomac Home Brigade"
During the battle of Antietam Sharpsburg
was almost deserted BY it's inhabitants, who
fed to the country. Those who remained
hid themselves in their cellars, hoping thus
to escape the binding storm of shot and
shell. Some Of the inhabitants sought
refuge in the Killingsburg cave, two miles
west of the town on the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, where they remained until after
the battle. The buildings in the town were
riddled with bullets, shot and shell.
About a year before his death President
Mckinley visited Antietam battlefield and
made an address at the dedication of the
peace monument, erected by the state of
Maryland to the north and the south. 1t
was his intention to have made another and
prolonged visit.
