Texas Fever in BlackyilIe,

The Columbia State says DR.. G. E.
NeSom, State veterinarian, arrived in
that city Saturday evening from
Blackrille where he had gone in re-
SponSe to a telegram from Mr.. J. D..
Whittle. Some weeks ago Mr.. Whittle
bought in western North Carolina
one hundred and fifty steers for his
feed pens. About week ago fifteen
OF them began to show signs of being
sick and soon four died. The State
veterinarian examined them and found
that they were dying from Texas
fever, or southern cattle fever. Mr..
Whjttle has just gone into the busi-
ness of feeding cattle and will nc
doubt be very much discouraged with
such unexpected results. Two other
gentlemen who have recently sustain
ed similar losses are Mr.. W. E. Rut-
land who is feeding 200 steers on his
farm at Batesburg, and Mr.. J. 7.
Band. Jr., of Mayesville, feeding y
head. The three have total of near.
ly 800 choice steers, from Western
North Carolina, valued at about Sl5,'
900, and the aggregate loss from
Texas fever is about $1,000. When
it is known that similar losses are oc'
curing all over the State from June
to January the disease must be reck'
oned as one of great Importance to the
stockmen. DR.. Nesom estimates that
last year it caused losses amounting tx
over 800, 900, and says it will be con-
Sidara hlv more for 1902

4 Sad Tragedy at BamberS.

\ message from Bamberg says that
Thomas ". PearlStine, son of S. w.
Pearlstine, shot and killed bill
Creech at the latter'S home on factory
hill about 9 o'clock Saturday night
in the presence of his wife and only
one other witness whose name was not
given. The facts were nard to get but
from all that could be aScertained
seem to be about as follows: Pearl
Stine called at the Creech house for
the purpose of collecting a debt of 50
cents due him by Creech. Creech had
been sick for some days and was in his
bedroom sitting in front Of the fire.
His wife was with him at the time.
Pearlstine entered the room and ask
ed Creech for payment. Creech told
him that he would pay him. About
this time young factory hand who
had had some business dealings with
Pearlstine during the day entered the
room and made some remark to Pearl
stine in regard to the transaction. 1t
is said that PearlStine began cursing
the young man when Creech ordered
him not to curse before his wife or in
his house. PearlStine continued his
profanity and drawing his pistol shot
Creech twice in the back, killing him
instantly. This is the testimony of
the only eye witness to the affair.
Pearlstine Immediately fled but every
effort is being made to apprehendhim.

They Are Watching Us.

The State says that Italy Shoulc
watch the United States, whose i'm
perialiSm is a political and CONNER,
cial menance to Europe, and especial
ly to Italy, the weakest of the great
powers" was the warming given his
country by Deputy Santini during
the debate in the Italian chamber
when the Venezuelan situation was
up. The warning should have even
more effect in the United States than
in Europe: for it demonstrates to US,
as nothing else that has been said
can do, how our venture into the bus
mess of being a world power" is
viewed by other world powers" Be-
fore our essay into the field Of impe-
rialism we possessed the disintereSted
friendship of the European Rations sc
far as genera, international politics
was concerned, as this country was
free from any suspicion OF rivalry.
The Italian deputy who spoke so can
didly did not represent nis govern,
ment officially but ne undoubtedly
voiced a sentiment which is prevalent
not only in Italy but throughout
Europe.

The Tale Of a Corset.

A new and fearful Illustration of
the danger Of trusting to circumstan-
tial evidence is furnished by the case
of a woman in Brooklyn. She is the
wife Of a travelling man and some time
ago when he returned from western
trip she found in his valise a beauti-
full silk and lace corset. Taken alb
solutely by surprise the man had no
explanation ready and the inference
was plain. The wife promptly gath
cred her personal belongings, returned
to her father and began divorce pro-
ceedingS. Meanwhile, out in Gin
cinnati, another woman, almost
equally mad, was strong at the pro-
prietor Of a leading hotel and demand
ing the arrest Of all his house-maids
because she had lost a corset which
was the pride of her life. After a
long course of correspondence and cross
purposes and comedy Of errors
threatening daily to Develop tragedy,
the facts were ascertained. They
were that the owner Of the article in
question had carelessly left it hang
ing in a closet Of the room she oc-
cupied. The unhappy travelling man
had the same. room next day apd sent
up the porter instructed to pack his
valise, anG tie faithful porter put in
everything he could find. The result
was the mysterious disappearance Of
the lost garment in the baggage Of
man entirely innocent and unsuspect-
ing. Peace has been declared with
many tears and much penitence and
it is safe to say that one woman at
least will not believe any more evil
even if she sees it with her own eyes.

Mules in South Africa.

The Augusta Chronicle says If the
South African war accomplished no
other good it introduced the Ameri-
can mule to the Beers, and he did
the rest. At one time there was talk
of international friction because the
United States allowed the British
army to buy mules for their use in
the South African war: but the Beers
found it so much cheaper to capture
British army trains and help them
selves to the mules than it would
have been to buy them in America and
transport them, that they made no
complaint against the traffic. On the
contrary they redoubled their efforts
in waylaying trains SO as to force the
British to buy as many as possible.
That the American mule made a good
impression in South Africa is proven
by the fact that the Beers are now
buying them. Recently an agent OF
the Beers was sent to lie United
State to study the industrial methods
and agricultural implements. and, see
what things of ours should be in
troduced in South Africa. It is re-
corded IS a fact that one Of he first
things this commissioner invested in
was a thousand Missouri mules. 1t
promises to be an important traffic.

ITTEIPT At ASSASSINATION.
4 Negro Shoots Mt. Thomas r. Davis
From Ambush.

There was an ugly affair in Rich
land county Saturday evening. nea1
the town of killian'S, about Is mile:
nnrth OF Columbia, as result Of which
a prominent South CarOlinan. Mr.
| Thomas +. Davis, manager of the eX-
tensve Carolina Fire Brick works. 10,
Gated at Killian'S, IS suffering from &
| load of shot in his right arm. neck and
leg. all fortunately being flesh wounds
and Magistrates Constable T. c.
Thornton has shattered left arm,
necesSitating amputation.
1t was all the work OF i negro as.
saSsin. whose murderouS work failed
of fatal consequences OF no fault u!
| his.
Saturday Manager Davis accompa-
MED by Miss Davis. and the Office
stenographer, Miss Dubard, went out
on the place near the works for al af-
ternoon's bird shooting. In the morn
ing Mr.. Davis had rcprimanded ne
gro named Adam Lowman, employed
about the works. for shooting on the
Preserve, and had ordered him Off.
Saturday evening as Mr.. Davis and the
ladies were returning just at dark
they had to pass through some thick
bushes close by the road. AS they
drove by the flash of shot gun from
the boughS blinded them momentari-
ly. Then Mr.. Davis right arm fell
helpless to his side. He was power
less to return the fire. and the vehicle
moved on. There was no scramble
from the bushes the assassin evident
ly waiting to give the other barrel of
his gun.
AS soon as the town was reached
the alarm was raised and a message
went to Blythewood tor Dr.. Langford,
the nearest physician, while Magis-
trate's Constable T. c. Thornton and
others, hearing Of the incident Of the
morning. went in search Of the negro
Lowman. The doctor did not arrive
for two and half hours and when he
did get there he found other and more
serious work for him. DIR. Hanahan,
of Winnsboro, was 'phoned and asked
to come down on the midnight tlain.
Constable Thornton and number
of citizens found the negro LoWman
in a negro house in bed. He had the
shot gun in bed with him. When Mr..
Thornton attempted to pull him out
of bed he fired the gun point blank at
him, jumped out and fled like the
wind. Many shots were fired at him,
and some say at lest one Of them was
effective, but the negro made his eS-
cape, for the others had to turn their
attention to Mr.. Thornton who sank
down with a gr0an.
His left arm was badly shattered
by the shot, so much 50 that when
the phsician examined it he said that
amputation would be necessary.
At midnight the chase Tor the ne
gro had been abandoned for the night
and DR.. Langford was with the two
wounded men, awaiting the arrival Of
DR.. Hanahan whose assistance he
needed. Both men were resting east
ly at that hour and Mr.. Davis wounds
while painful were not consider ed seri-
