Edgrfeld county has again come
into unpleasant notoriety. A negro
having been sentenced to thirty days
on the chaingapg died twenty-four
hours after com nencing to serve his
sentence. There being some sus-
Spicion of foul play the matter was
reported to the solicitor who inter
viewed the county supervisor. The
latter, it is said, investigated the
matter and stated that the negro
died from natural causes. The body
was exhumed and found to be terri
bly, beaten, one eye gone, and hole

Those who have kept up with the
Hoyt Hayes casein Oconee county are
awaiting with interest the action Of
Governor Heyward with respect to the
petitions for and against the pardon
ef the alleged wife murderer. Hayes
was to have been hanged October IA,
bnt,the governor being unwell has
not had tlme' to properly consider
the case. Meantime he has granted
areprieye of two weeks to Hayes.
We understand that two petitions
have been presenter, one containing
over q thousand signatures asking
that Hayes be pardoued, and the
other numbering about five hundred
names asks that the law be allowed
to take ib course. Without know
ing the people who subscri bed to
them it is impossible to estimate the
relative weight of these petitions. AS
rule. however, people are much
more ready to ask for mans pardon
than to petition for him to be hanged.

Mr. S l. Courtney has purchased

day night to Alcot, S. Co., to teach al

We are informed by Mr. Olin John
sou that DR. L B Johnson has de-
cided to return to Lake City and
that he will be buck within about
thirty days. The climate has moi
agreed with the doctors family.
which is exactly the opposite of what
was expected. Hence his d etermin,
alton to return. This is just the
way. He who leaves South Carolina
in search of a better country is sure
t, meet disappointment. We shall
be glad to have DR. johnson with us
again.
Mr. N L Overstreet, who recently
gave up his position as agent of the

Mr. F E johnson of Dock has
made a success of tobacco this year.
One day last week he sold a load of
900 pounds at the Planters Ware
house at an average of very nearly 23
cts. per pound. How is that? Mr
johnson has realized from bis three
acres OF tobac,o the sum of $502.0G
net. He used 600 pounds of low
grade fertilizer to the acre. Com
ment seems entirely unnecessary.
Such figures speak volumes for MI
Johnson as farmer, for tobacco as
q crop and for Williamsburgra as the
place to live and grow rich farming.
Miss Pansy Jones is teaching in

Three Passengers kilied-Several Are
Badly Injured-Cars Burned.
St.Louis. Jan. 28.-The Denver ex.
press on the Burlington road, was run
into from the rear by local passenger
train while taking water at Gardeene
Greek, about 40 miles north of here.
and three passengers were killed and
four seriously injured and seven badly
hurt. The wreck occurred on bridge
over Gardeene creek. The bridge and
two cars of the local train and local
engine were burned. The express train
was running behind time because of
the blizzard weather and had stopped
at tank just after clearing the bridge,
to take water. Suddenly, without
warning, the local train crashed into
the rear of the express.
The light passenger cars Of the local
train were badly demolished and the
bridge was filled with debris, which
took fire. Because of the burned bridge
traffic is suspended until temporary
structure can be erected.

Suffering Animal Almost Kills Its
keeper,

St. Paul, Jan. 26.-Maddened by the
intense cold, which had frozen Its
ears and trunk, an elephant belonging
to an animal show which has been
exhibiting at a local theater, Sunday
almost instantly killed its keeper Con.
rad Castens, and partly wrecked the
Milwaukee freighthouse. Many Of the
attendants had narrow escapes from
serious injury. Castens then went to
the animals head and attempted to
pacify 1t, but the beast threw him to
the ground, and. planting his foot
upon him, crushed in his ribs, and, 1t
is believed, fatally injured him. The
brute then seized heavy articles OF
freight in the sheds and began to
swing them about, doing much dam
age. After laboring for nine hours,
attendants quieted the animal.

Pendleton, Oregon, Jan. 27.-In a
fit of jealousy, John T. Brown, a
teacher in the Mckay Greek school,
killed his wife, Ethel, and then lay
down beside the dead body and shot
himself through the heart. From evil
dence at the inquets it looks as if the
wife had consented to dying by her
husbands hand. The double tragedy
was committed on the hill south of the
city, at O'Clock in the morning, and
the bodies were found about 10 a. m.
The verdict said the deed was COM

jealous without cause apparent to the
jury.
