grasp of Edward and heard the
others rushing upon thin, he felt
sure they we're about to do him
great personal injury. In order
to forestall them or over awe
them, and prevent their joint assault,
he instinctively reached for his pis-
tol for the purpose of dischsrging it
in the air or on the floor. He did not
have the faintest idea of shooting
! any of them. He would have suffered
them to injure him rather than do
that His only idea was to, if pos.
sible, frighten them with the pistol
and thereby protect himself. But,
most unfortunately, Edward imme.
diately grassed the pistol, and in the
scutfie it accidentally went of and
struck him--a result, or consequence,
that deponent had not had the faint
est expectation Of; and which over.
whelmed him with grief: for depon.
ent had a real fondness for the young
man. That ell he could do was to
get physician as soon as possible:
and deponent sent tor one, and then
went himself. Later on in the after
noon he surrendered himself to the
town marshal
The foregoing are the principal
facts bealieg upon the present appli-
cation, and if anything of importance
has been omitted, it is because it does
not now occur to deponent.

collector of the port Of Charleston

by Roosevelt, "To keep the door of
hope open to the negro"
Drum says: an this present situa.

and the loss of all it has gained since

olina. A similar bill was introduced
in the House some time ago, and
pressed for consideration by Repre-.
sentatives Johnson and Finley. There
was opposition to the bill from vari
ous sources in South Carolina, owing
to the uncertainty as to who was to
be appointed in case the bill became
law. The situation became 80 com
plicated that the friends Of tho bill
became discouraged and it was prac-
tically abandoned. 1t is understood
that should the bill become a law the
President would appoint Representa-.
tive Elliott to the Judgeship. 1t is
now for Col Elliott and his friends in
the House to get favorable action
on the bill there.
Senaior Tillman also Obtained u
provision in the general defciency

something ovor 100000. This claim
has been pressed by Senator Sillman
