"RIind Tioer" Keeper Murdered.

The body of Jacob Kind, the keep
er of an illicit liquor shop, who had
been missing several days, was found
floating in the cistern on his prem
ises in Charleston. There was great
cash in the throat, several stabs in
the breast and the body was in a
frightful state of decomposition. His
clerk, Edward Kennedy, alias Grant
who has been conducting the "blind
tiger" since Kinds disappearance, left
Charleston in the meantime with con-
siderable money and every effort is
being made 70 capture him, as circum'
stantial evidence points strongly to his
guilt.

Cotton Injured by Rain.

The heavy rains o; the past ten
days are beginning TO tell on the cot,
ION crop. The plant is shedding shapes
rapidly il some sections owing to rap

now say that they fear excessive uols'
ture will damage the crop to con-

Solomon had reasoned all in vain.
"Why Tirzah," he pleaded, ''it amt

Since that time the two had hardly
exchanged a dozen words. Solomon
had not married, neither had Tirzah,
and now on the night before her for
tieth birthday she sat looking around
her orderly little home with the most
desolate feeling at her heart she had
known for years.
Tomorrow would be her birthday.
Mechanically she had gone through a
5 few preparations for that rather du-
bious festival. The smallest hen from
her flock was curled up ready for
roasting inside the same pan in which
her hens had been roasted for the last
fifteen years. A green apple pie sat
on the pantry shelf beside sour cream
spice cake, while a plate Of mealy tarts
was waiting patiently the filling Of
grape jelly to be theirs on the NOR
row.
Never before, at that season Of the

give so large a yield OF milk. There
were three new kittens in the basket
behind the kitchen stove, and her
canary bird was the lou6est singer IL

was not satisfied.
She had heard that Gay that tie wild

times, and then. without particle of
explanation to the astonished cat. who
had come forth demanding her allow

seated rocker and burst out crying.
For five minutes she cried. and then
she dropped her apron and looked
guiltily about.
A thought had just intruded itself
upon her which she considered in the
light Of q secret crime. Over and over
again, despite herself. she rehearsed
Solomon's proposal: each word as ii

the handwriting upon the wall. there
stood forth these words: Every morn

The result of the investigation into
the charges of cruelty alleged to have
been practiced upon chain gang con-
nounced by the grand jury at New
berry, the past week, in their final pre-
sentiments to the court.
AS will be remembered, this investi-
cation was held at The suggestion OF

The clause in the grand jury's pre-
sentiment relative to this investigation
is as follows:
I'VE have visited and inspected the
conditions and management of the
county chain gang, and Fad the con-
victs healthy and apparently the oh
jects of proper management at pres
ent We nave also closely scrutinized
the report of the investigation held by
order of the court by F. H. Dominick,
on the 9th day Of March, and divers
days thereafter in regard to the treat
ment Of the convicts on the chain
gang, and while we are convinced tnat
punishment was used in excess Of the
amount necessary for the control or

are debarred from further proceedings

control. At the same time, we are
gratifed to find that the Institution
of these proceedings has effected an
amelioration of the condition of the
parties mainly concerned
This apparently ends the investiga-

anxiously awaited by the citizens OF

over fifty years he has lived in the
county, and at this time has the un'

Strange Disease Attacks Cotton

Strange Disease Attacks Cotron'
Cotton plants in fields along the
Augusta road from Greenville almost
as far as Princeton, in Laurens
county, have been attacked by some
kind of blight resembling rust, but
which appears to be far more PERM
cious and baneful in its effects than
either rust or what is usually known
as blight. None Of the planters ia
miliar with the various diseases to
which the cotton plant in this section
is subjected has the least idea what
this new enemy can be. 1t attacks the
tender leaves and in few days they
turn brown, wilt and die.
The boil is not attacked, and the
new scourge is evidently not the dread
ed weevil. First, small spots appear
on the under side Of the leaf. They
grow thicker rapidly as though in
Vulnerable little insects were feeding
on the surface and soon the entire
leaf is brown and dead. It is not de-
voured by the insects or whatever
the cause of the destruction may be,
but seems rather to be poisoned.
