Grover Cleveland caught many fine
bass in Lake Erie at the mouth of Cata-
raugus creek before he became governor
of New York. One day, while doing
some bottom fishing, he lost his only lead
sinker. "Shan'' Bisselps boat was a
mile away, and you know how much
busy fisherman. hates to move. and how
slowly he comes to your relief. While
waiting for his partner Cleveland had a
happy thought. His flask! Why not use
it as sinker? No sooner thought than
done, and down went the line again to
the bottom. Just as Bissell got close by
Grover pulled in two fine bass, one on
each hook: "Hey, Grover, that's lusty
pair of twins you've got this time, he ex-
claimed. YES" retorted Cleveland, "and

about the confederate army, and that it
was impossible for the invading Yankees
to conquer them.

Negro Killed Near Ehrhardt.

Last Monday Mr.. j. NJ Johns, constable
for Magistrate J. c. Copeland at Ehrhardt
brought negro named Ulysses Kinard
to Bamberg and lodged him in Jail.
Kinard is charged with murder, the crime
being that of killing a negro boy named
Lewis Smith near Ehrhardt last Saturday
night.
There was negro hot supper on Mr..
J. F. Copeland's plantation, and as usual
there was considerable drinking and
quarteling among the negroes assembled
Our information is that Kinard walked to
the door and fired his pistol into the
crowd in the house, the bullet striking
the Smith boy in the breast and going
through the heart, causing death instant
ly.
Coroner Bessinger held an inquest and
Magistrate Copeland issued the warrant
on which Kinard was arrested. Kinard
denies that he fired the shot which killed
Smith, and it appears that there was con-
siderable shooting around the house.

The Country Editor.

The worm will turn. Sometimes it
takes the worm long time to make up
its mind to do it, but sooner or later it
does. Every man who has served time as
editor of country newspaper has expe-
rienced the trouble referred to in this lit
tie anecdote, but not all of them have had
the courage to resent it.
Let there be a society function in the
little city and the local editor present,
some will approach him with smile and
say:
"Well, getting some news to put in
your paper?"
Of course they mean well, but they
seem never to realize that perhaps even q
country editor can lay aside his profes.
sional duties long enough to 60 out in
society and meet his friends on social
basis.
deacon" Dobyns, one of the best
known country editors in Missouri, suf-
fered this sort of thing for years, and al
though it rankled in his bosom, he never
let on, but smiled in return and nodded
assent. But at last patience ceased to be
virtue. Not long ago he attended So
cial affair in his home town, going as an
invited guest. While mingling with his
friends a local grocer greeted him with
the remark:
"Good evening, Deacon Getting some

Deacon. "By the way, Mr.. Sands, are
you here to drum up some trade for your
store?"
Of course the grocer got mad about it,
but deacon" only grinned and resumed
mingling with his friends.

EHRHARDT, December 26.-The colored
folks Of this section had a gathering of
some kind on Mr.. Jacob F. Copeland's
plantation Saturday night, at which plen-
ty of booze was INDUCED in. Quite a
number of shots were fired at random,
and some quarreling as is the usual case.
About half past ten or eleven o'clock, one
Ulysses Kinard is said by eye witnesses
to have walked to the door and drew his
revolver aud fired shot in the crowd in
the house, which resulted in the killing
instantly of one of Laura Hiers's sons,
about seventeen years old. The boys
name was Lewis Smith. The ball entered
his right breast and went through the
heart and was found by Dr. j. b. Roberts
under the left arm in the muscle. Death
was instantaneous. Ulysses Kinard was
arrested Sunday morning by Judge J. c.
Copeland and will be carried to Bamberg
Jail to-day.

DR.. Richardson RESIGNS.

SPARTANBURG, Dec. 27.-Rev. W. R.
Richardson, D. D., editor Of the Southern
Christian Advocate, the official organ of
the South Carolina Methodists, has severed
his connection with the publication and
accepted an offer of the pastorate of a
church at Pulaski, Tenn. He and his
family leave about January 9TH. Dr..
Richardson is one of the strongest minis
ters of the denomination in the State,
having been pastor of every large church
in the conference. His successor as editor
of the Advocate, has not yet been named.
The cause of Dr.. Richardson's offering
his resignation is said to have resulted
from friction between himself and men,
bers of the conference publishing boards.

Christmas Trees.

Once in every few years the children
of Bamberg are granted the pleasure OF
seeing Santa Claus in reality. They hear
about him, how he comes in a sleigh and
all that, but they seldom see him. But
last Friday night after an urgent invita-
tion by the people of the Methodist
church, he appeared and gave the chill
dren big time. The trees had been ar
ranged for him during the day, and when
he came that night he was all smiles, and
was in for good time with his little peo-
pie. There were presents of every de-
'scription; presents for little folks, big
folks and any other folks who were pres
ent. And besides this, there seemed to
be great big bag of fruit for each one:
So there was merry time, but Santa said
he could not stay long, as he wished to
visit so many other places on the same
trip.
He returned again Monday night at the
factory chapel and gave the little folks of
the mill pleasant evening and many
presents.

BISHOP CAPERS As A SOLDIER.
How he Captured Yankee on James Island and
Got Possession Of his Gun, which the Bishop
Now Proposes to Return.

COLUMBIA, December 27.-A rather
pretty story has just developed in the past
few days in which Bishop Capers takes 8
part, and which brings back recollections
of the days of 1861-1865 in very vivid
manner. The story tells of the capture
of Federal prisoner by the Bishop, then
an Officer, in the Sd South Carolina regi-
ment and the part played by other menu
bers of the same regiment, whose names
have been forgotten.
The incident happened on James Island,
where a detachment of soldiers from the
various South Carolina companies, just
raised, were stationed. Bishop Capers
and three soldiers were coming over from
the headquarters of the officers toward
the line where sentries had been thrown
out.
Just across the line a,Northern soldier
was seen, and it was evident that he had
landed for some purpose not for the good
of the men on the Island who wore the
grey. He was approached 80 rapidly that
he had no chance to escape and was told
to surrender. There was some parley at
first, as the man, evidently brave soldier
did not wish to be taken in this way with
out having chance for fight, but the
folly. of such procedure was quickly shown
and he turned oyer his gun and marched
back to camp.
The gun was kept by Bishop Capers for
years and several efforts were made to
find its owner. Finally by searching
over the records it was found that the
.. gun belonged to some member of the 1st
Connecticut volunteers. Then the trac-
ing was.a little easier and finally the man
who owned the gun was located. His
name is Francis G. Cope and he lives ina
small town in Connecticut. The gun Is
now being repaired and will be returned
by the Bishop at once. It is still q dan-
gerous looking weapon, which shot pa
per shell loaded with powder and an ex-
plosiYe bullet.

FOUND DEAD IN A WAGON.
Hattie Walker Died After Partakins Freely Of
Liquor.

Liquor,
SPARTANBURG, Dec. ga white wo-
man named Hattie Walker was discover
ed dead in wagon near Glendale early
this morning.
With the wagon were Tom Donahue
and P. A. Blake, white.
Hattie Walker and Donahue left
Switzer yesterday morning for Spartan
burg in a wagon. They came here to
secure household goods belonging to the
woman. On arriving they found that the
party in whose possession the goods were,
moved to Glendale, and they set out for
that place. On the road they were ac'
companiea by Blake, and the men had
two quarts of liquor. The woman began
drinking freely and in the night they
halted and built fire and ate something.
Afterwards the woman tookanother drink
and fell forward on the front gate of the
wagon. Donahue picked her up. She laid
down and never spoke again, dying an
hour or more afterwards.
There were bruises on her face, wrist
and stomach which are said to have been
occasioned by the fall.
The inquest was held today. The physi
clans examining the dead body expressed
the opinion that death was due to natural
causes. The jury's verdict was to thai
effect,
