An Outrageous Murder.

A most remarkable lynching took
place at Holly Hill in the western corner
of Berkeley county recently. A strange
negro known by two or three names ar
rived at town Saturday morning. he
said he was railroad hand. His conduct
was little disorderly and he was ordered
TO leave town. He went to the house OF
a negro by the name of Manuel and after
stayine a short time he returned to town.
The marshal considered that his irrele-
want language warranted arrest. When
arrested he became violent. By the aid
of handouts and ropes he was secured
and carried to the calaboose and LETT
there for the night, the only charge be-
ing disorderly conduct.
He was taken out during the night
and carried out short distance and shot
several times, the handouts still being on
him. They threw him in a ditch and left
him for dead. He soon crawled out and
went to Manuers house, freezing, bleed.
inc to death and handcuffed. He wanted
fire and place to die. Manuel was afraid
to take him for fear that his murderers
would visit him. He went some distance
to an unoccupied house and there crouch
ing against the wall died. he told Manuel
that two white men took him from the
calaboose. Itseems that downright saVag-
ery could 90 no further.

Smoothing Things Over.

Senator Clapp of Minnesota is great
campaigner and is constantly called upon
to make speeches in his state, says the,
Washington Post. SO
Last fall he was asked to go to a town
called Erin Corners, which is not far,
from his hor.e town, and make poliei-
cal address.
Erin Corners is a Democratic hamlet
with no Republicans living within its
limits. Clapp is Republican.
He got to the village and found the
town hall packed with Democrats, He
tried to talk, and they howled him down:
He tried half dozen times, and each
time was compelled to stop because Of,
the noise and disturbance in the hall.
He was Just about to quit when al old
man who had worked as hired man on
the farm of Senator Clapp's father came
up to the platform, and said: Don't mind

enthusiastic and appreciative audience
enjoyed the unique entertainment given
by the Swiss Bell Ringers, at the Fitting
School chapel last Saturday evening.
Each member of this company is an
artist, and their performances upon the
numerous instruments they carry, make
a first class entertainment. The very

these various instruments is nothing short
of wonderful.
Mr.. Rhoad is to be congratulated upon
securing so delightful al entertainment,

TREATMENT OF PNEUMONIA.

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
althoug gh he may have the proper remedies
at hand. A physician should always be
called. 1t should be borne irf mind, how
ever, that pneumonia always results from a
cold or from an attack of grip, and by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is used by physi-
clans in the treatment of pneumonia with
best results. DR.. W. J. Smith, Sanders,

Depends on how many gallons you've

Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe
for same houses; had 10 gallons left.
Mr. N Avery, Delhi, N Y, owns two

Two Houses Burned In the Kearse Section by I
Gang of Thieves and Incendlaries-Dr. II. M
Brabham, a Much Loved Physician, Proba'
bly, Fatally Injured by an Explosion of Gun
powder In one of the Houses.
OLAR, March Especial: The Kearse
section is in great excitement. Evidently
a gang of thieves and incendiaries are
operating in an extensive way.
a few nights ago the store OF Messrs j
Ritter & Son was robbed and a large
amount of goods stolen.
Last Sunday morning before dawn the
store of Mr.. j. o. Kearse was totally de-
stroyed by fire, the loss being large and
total, as he carried no insurance.
Between midnight and dawn this morn
ing the store of Mr.. J. s. Breland was
found in a light blaze. Mr.. Breland, bis
clerk, Mr.. q. L. Kearse, and DR.. d. N.
Brabham we're first at the burning build
ing. A few minutes after reaching the
store large keg of powder exploded,
which completely wrecked it.
Mr.. Breland was slightly wounded on
the head by flying board, and a large
piece of timber struck DR.. Brabham in
the face, completely knocking out his left
eve and crushing in much of the frontal
facial bones. The wound is CHASTITY. Drs.
Coleman, Folk and Kirkland were hastily
summoned, and they are doing ali in their
power to save the life of their patient,
but they are not hopeful, and told his
family to prepare for the worst.
AS proof of the esteem the people OF
this section have for DR.. Brabham, his
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Harley, call to see
him, and was so shocked that he went
on to the church and in few simple
words told whad had happened, and stat
ed that services would be omitted. Strange
to say the same thing happened at the
colored peoples church near by.
For twelve or more years DR.. Brabham
has practiced here, and holds large
place in the hearts Of all the people, both
white and colored.
As above stated excitement is running
high, and if these high-handed outlaws
are caught it will be hard indeed to keep
Judge Lynch from presiding. Scouting
parties have been out all day to-day; in
fact, nearly all of last week, and it will
be kept up.-News and Courier.

vout Christian man who wasn't against
the dispensary; and the worst feature of
the dispensary system is, it has fastened
itself like leech, and has come to stay.
I rather undertake to vote the saloons
out of Macon, Atlata or Savannah, than
to undertake to vote the dispensary out
of Athens or Rome. I have not only got
to fight the liquor, but I have got to fight
the profits of liquor that comes to each
taxpayer of the county, and when you
touch the average fellows pocket, you
have hit the vital spot.
If any town in Georgia, or other State
contemplates inaugurating dispensary,
let them send committee of three honest
men to Charleston or Columbia, and
take in also some of the smaller towns,
and see the thing as it is. That committee
will come back and report unfavorably.
Keep your saloons until you can vote
them out, but don't ever compromise by
swapping your saloons for the dispensary,
A saloon is the smallpox, dispensary is
the measles. 1, for one, had rather have
the smallpox, and get we'll than to have

asked, which would you choose saloons

ANOTHER STORE, BURNED.

Serious Injuries on Prominent Physician.
People in That Section Aroused.
Last Sunday morning about four o'clock
the store of Mr.. j. s. Breland in the
Kearse section of this county was de-
stroyed by fire. The fire was discovered
after it had gained considerable headway
and nothing of any consequence was
saved. The loss of building and goods is
heavy one, and we are informed that
Mr.. Breland had no insurance. The
value of goods and building must have
been at least $500.
Immediately upon discovering the fire
Mr.. Breland and DR.. b. Manning Brab-
ham, who boards with him, rushed to the
burning building to save something if
possible. Soon afterwards keg Of gun
powder fifty pounds) exploded and COM
pletely wrecked the building. One of
the flying timbers struck DR.. Brabham
across the face, destroying the sight OF
the left eye, and crushing the nose and
jaw. The wound is ghsstly one, and
for a while he was not expected to re-
cover. Our latest advices are that he is
doing as we'll as could possibly be expect
ed, and his recovery is hoped for. he is
suffering considerably but has been con.
scious all the while. The blow was
terrific one, and it is wonderful
that he was not instantly killed.
A crowd of neighbors soon gathered
and the country has been secured in
search of the incendiaries. This is
the third robbery and second burning
in that section in the last two weeks
No clue has as yet been found, but the
people of that section are aroused and
will not discontinue their efforts until
the guilty parties are brought to justice
DR.. Brabham is one of the most popu'
lar physicians in this county, and his
many friends deeply regret that this
awful accident has befallen him. His re-
coyery is earnestly looked for.

in the county Jail.
The encounter between the two men
took place at the home of Lee, it was
stated, but at what hour of the night
could not be learned. DR.. L. E. Harmon
was summoned between 2 and 8 o'clock
and arrived at 4 o'clock at neighbor's
house few hundred yards from Lees
home, to which the wounded man had
walked. DR.. Harmon says he was not
told at what hour the combat took place
and that the injury was so serious and
the man so extremely weak from the loss
of blood that his entire attention was
given to the urgent requirements of his
patient.
Lee was arrested yesterday by Sheriff
Coleman, who drove out to the scene OF
the tragic occurrence. The prisoner
made no resistance, but would not talk
about anything relating to the assault,
only that i, occurred at his home, but as
to the hour of the night or of the reasons
for such summary onslaught, the
prisoner was silent.
DR.. Harmon stated last night that the
wound indicated that the blow was full,

said, was grave.
Martin was removed to his own home
short distance away yesterday after
noon. DR.. Harmon visited him there
and was pleased with his condition after
standing the strain of being carried on a
litter. None of the neighbors would
talk of the affair, said the physician.
Martin is married man and has two
children and is tenant on the plantation
of Mr.. W. NJ. Mays of Columbia. A
Columbian who knew Martin said he
had the reputation of being very quiet
and orderly man. Lee is also married
but has no children.

These were separate cases but We're so
similar in character that they were heard
together. Both of the men had dairies
which were located on the bank OF a

Aiken emptied and the dairymen brought
suit against the city. The lower court,
however, dismissed the case and now the
