Capt. ]. F. Banks, who has been
seriously i'll at his home in this coun-
ty, for some weeks past, was opera
ted on for appendicitis yesterday.
The operation was performed by Dr..
LeGrand Guerry of Columbia, assist

Dominick and DR.. J. S. Wheeler.
The operation was perfectly Sue
cessful, although the disease was in

Letter to E. H. Leslie.
Newberry, S. 6.

Dear Sir: You know what paint
is for. how it does it, what paint does
it, and what paint don't. It's your
business to know; of course you know
Devo:.
There are some details, which, OF
course, you can't be expected to
krow. - For instance the next-best
paints are only three-quarters as
good. That's strange; very strange.
There are dozen of them perhaps;
YOU don't know them so accurately
as that; you don't know them all by
name. No matter; one is enough;
the only .one you have real occasion
to know is Devoe.
The qteer of It'll that the others
leave the whole business to us SO. We
make paint as good as we can; others
make it as good as they have to.
Queer. but we don't complain.
Yours truly,
F., w. Devoe & CO.

Witness to Occurrence.

4 prominent gentleman Of the
county was an eyewitness to a
strange shooting ahray which occur
red last week in the public road, near
O'Neall's bridge, about three miles
from town. He says that a negro
woman accompanied by negro man,
was driving slowly along in buggy
when a negro on foot met the vehicle
in the road and stopped it.
He dragged the woman out Of the
buggy onto the ground, and drawing
a pistol, shot her in the thigh. Her
valiant protector in the buggy had
meanwhile run away as fast as his
willing legs could carry him. The
wounded woman and the man who
did the shooting remained together IN
conversation, and the strange part OF
the story is that presently the one
who had run away came back, and
the two men together put the woman
in the buggy, after which it proceed
ed on it's way.
The story is remarkable but the
eyewitness is a . gentleman we'll
known and of unquestioned veracity.
From other sources it is learned
that the man who did the shoot1ng
was Jordan Coleman.
