Harmons Admitted to Bail.

Clinton and Bertha Harmon, white,
who shot and killed R. E. Wells at
Mccormick recently, have been ad-
mitted to bail by, Associate Justice
Gary in the sum of $4,000 each. The
two men killed Wells because he was
too intimate with Clinton Harmon's
wife. Harmon went off to work at
Asheville and left his wife at his
fathers where Wells was boarding.
He was seen going into her room at
night and admitted that he had been
there before. When the husband
returned he was informed of the
state of affairs, and Wells was. ad-
vised by the father to leave the
country. He did not do so, and day
or so later the two Harmons went
to his saw mill where he was atwork
and shot him, both emptying shot
guns into his body. His pistol was
found by his dead body with one
empty shell in it.

Negro Woman Shot.

In a general row last Saturday night
at the house OF William 1saacs, a negro,
who lives near the depot, his wife, Estelle
Isaacs, was shot in the left breast but not
seriously wounded. John Wesley, >
negro, was arrested for the shooting but
was released on bond. It is generally
supposed that her husband did the shoot
ing while trying to shoot Wesley. 1t
seems that Wesley went to the house and
Isaacs thought he had no business there.
and in the scufle which ensued when
Wesley tried to enter the house, the pis-
tol was discharged with the above result.

Friday morning.
1t is said that Tuesdays election in
Richland county may he declared illegal
and another held. The tickets are said
not to be of the right size and there were
other irregularities, all resulting from
carelessness. We have no doubt but that
the elections were loosely conducted all
over the State.
Judge Hydrick refused new trial to
the negro McCoomer, and the white man,
Spivens, who were convicted in Sumter
last week of the murder of J. E. Gaillard,
.Jr. They were sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. The attorney
for the white man says he will appeal to
the State Supreme court.
VIM. Bennett, the negro who was con-
victed at the last term of the court of
general sessions in Beaufort county of
the murder of Mr.. Geo. NJ. Harvey, an
sged white man, at the Blythewood place
on Lady's Island in that county on the
28th of last August, was hanged in Beau
fort last Friday. The execution was quiet
and without incident.
The strike of the machinists in the
shops of the Southern Railway has been
settled, and the men returned to work
Monday. The wages offered by the COM
pany prior to the strike are to be accepted,
and the difference between this scale and
that demanded by the machinists is to be
arbit1ated. The adjustment took place in
New York last Friday.
S. Mrs. Virginia Durant Young, editor of
the Fairfax Enterprise, died at her home
in Fairfax last Friday afternoon at five
o'clock after short illness of pneumonia.
She is survived by her husband, DR.. W.
j. Young. Mrs. Young was well known
and popular all over the State, especially
among the members of the Press Associ-
alton, who regret to learn of her death.
The German immigrant ship, the Wit
tekind. arrived in Charleston last Sun.
day. Most of the immigrants were car

cotton mill districts. A number of peo-
pie in the low country who wanted house
servants were disappointed. 1t is said
the immigrants showed up well and
seemed to be desirable class of popula.
ton. Another ship load may be brought
over soon.

The question always comes up: What
is gentleman Some say he is man
with silk hat, and others man with a

the newspaper trade have canon OF
their own. "Mr. Editor" said patron
one day, show is it you never call on me
to pay for your paper?" "Oh," said the
man of types, eve never ask gentleman
for money" "Indeed," the patron re-
piled. "How do you manageto to get along
if they don't pay" "Why," said Mr..
Editor, "after certain time we conclude
he is not a gentleman, and then we ask
him for it."
