We gladly make the following
correction of our account of the un-
fortunate killing Of Joe Baldwin by
Douglass Johnson. Mr.. Vernon
Askew informs us that these young
men Johnson and Baldwin had not
been hunting, but that Johnson had
lost a chicken and asked Baldwin
to go with him in search of it.
Johnson took his gun to shoot the
chicken if they failed to catch it.
They both went back to Baldwin s
house, and after playing a while
Johnson started home. He picked
up his gun and put it on his
shoulder, as he did so the gun fired
and shot Baldwin in the neck. At

Petition Praying for an In
junction to Prevent the
Holding of the Election
TUESDAY.

w. Boyd Evans, Esq, an attor-
ney from Columbia, was here Fri
day preparing a petition and get
ting affidavits in support of the pc
tition. The petition was signed by
Mr.. M. B. Lee, the petition asked
that an injunction be granted re-
straining the county supervisor,
commissioners and managers from
holding and declaring an election
Tuesday, August 18th, 1905, upon
the question of dispensary or no
dispcnsary. Armed with this peti-
ton and affidavits w. Boyd Evans
went befor Judge d. A. Townsend
at Chambers Saturday morning.
His honor refused to grant the pc
tition upon the showing made at
that time. w. Boyd Evans, Esq.
then went to work to secure addi-
tional affidavits, most of which we
learn were upon the point of forged
names upon the petition presented
to Mr.. T. J. Betenbaugh, county
supervisor, asking that he order an
election. That there were not one
fourth of the names of the qualified
electors on the petition presented to
said supervisor, and therefore he
had no right to order an election.
At 5 O'Clock p. m. Saturday, armed
with these additional affidavits w.
Boyd Evans appeared before Judge
Townsend. Judge Tow nsend then
issued his order to show cause be-
fore him Monday morning why an
injunction should not issue. Mr..
Evans after obtaining this order
concluded not to appear Monday,
but to await the result of the elec-
ton Tuesday.
