Tho Affray in Which Justice Hayns-
 worth Was Killed

Written and engraved for The Budget.
 The recent shooting affray at Sumter. s. C., in the office of Trial Justice Hayns- worth fthe man who fired the first shot in the war upon the Star of the West). by which the justice lost his life and sev- eral others were dangerously wounded, was the outcome of dispute about an excessive charge which John Robert Reels of Bishopville, is alleged to have made for drawing up some legal papers for client of P. c. Bowman, who had made an assignment. The immediate out come of this dispute was a visit to Bish- opville by the Keelses (father and son) and the shooting of P. G. Bowman, Jr, by the younger Reels. The second affray- the one in which Haynsworth lost his life-occurred when the friends of the two factions were brought into the justice's office for the purpose of having a peace bond signed. How nearly every man pres ent drew his pistol and at once began firing has already been told by the tele- graph. Portraits and sketches of some of the principal actors follow:
 George Edward Haynsworth was a member of a prominent South Carolina family, and was born in Sumter county in 1s41 He entered the South Carolina Military Academy at Charleston fin 1857 and would have graduated with distinc- tion but for the Civil War in which he and his classmates immediately took part. Haynsworth was one of the detach- mept Of cadets who, under the command Of Major P. F. Stevens. fired from a has tily constructed battery on Morris Island at the Star of the West, when that ves-

navy stores in London for insuring ths genutneness of the wines and liquora purchased for their customers is to sta ton at each of the principal points of origin of the goods to be purchased an expert agent whose business it is to keep in close touch with the trade and be able to certify to the genuine character of each purchase made. In the wine dis- tricts these agents keep a separate book
 for each of the principal vintages. As , the wines are first sold at auction the
 agent is enabled to record in his book
 the name of the purchaser or purchasers of the entire product of each vineyard. with the total amount that each has purchased He then asscertains to whom the wine is sold by each of the first pur- chasers and enters their names. with the quantities, in his book Thus 1t Is traced to each purchaser until 1t reaches the hands of the exporter, who Is generally the second or third purchaser. In this way these agents know exactly where the entire vintage of each vineyard for each year is to be found. and the army and navy stores can make purchases with certainty that the wines bounght are exactly what they purport to be.
 Dr. Wiley believes that it will be pos-
 sible to apply the same system to the
 enforcement of the law against the inn
 portation of falsely labeled wines into the
 United States.
 If the system is carried out and is sup
 plemented by law prohibiting the false
 labelling of goods inside of the United
 States, the American people may be able
 to stop drinking labels and may have some assurance that they are drinking the kind of wine or whisky that they
 have paid for.

eel came to the relief of the Fort sum- ter garrison. George D. Haynsworth fired the first shot and thus had the distfnc- ton of opening the War of Secession. His disposition was 90 modest and retiring that when The Century Magazine at tempted to procure his photograph some years since he positively refused to allow its publication. He next volunteered in the Manning Guards, of which his brother was commander, and then served success sively at Fort Sumter and Battery waR- ner. where he displayed the most reckless daring. He was engaged in the Battle of Bentonville. N. C., and in his native county, Sumter, had the reputation of having fired there the last shot in the war. For gallantry at Fort Sumter he was commissioned e lieutenant in 1862. During his whole term of military ser vice he never received a scratch or wound. After the war MT.
