MON. sToLYPlN
IS TERRoRIzED.
Opposed to Dictatorship. Says i
Means Civil War.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Premier
stolypin, completely terrorized at the
result of the attempt made upon his
life Saturday by reyolutionists when
thirty-two persons were killed and
many others injured by the explosion
of bomb in his residence, has ad-
vised the czar not to yield to the
grand dukes, who are urging the ap-
pointment of military dictator. The
premier believes that to name die
tator at this time would bring on open
civil war in Russia, and the bomb
method of persuasion employed by
terrorists has converted him to the
belief that the only way to prevent
internal war is to grant liberal re-
forms.

HENRY EoNTs KILLED.
Shot By Godfrey Taylor-The
Result Of Old Fued.

An unfortunate, though not unex-
pected difficulty occurred last Saturday
near the home of Mr.. Henry Monts,
about eleven miles above this place,
Immediately on the old Augusta road
and while the road hands were work
ing said road, a quarrel arose over the
protest of Mr.. Monts against the cut
ting of muscadine vine. Mr.. God
frey Taylor is the road overseer, and
bad blood had existed between them
for some time, although they were
neighbors. Hot words passed, MIR.
Monts got piece of rail while Mr..
Taylor had shovel. They did not
come to blows, however, bu t
finally both went to their homes and
secured their guns. When they met
three shots were fired, two from Mr..
Taylor and one from Mr.. Monts.
From the second shot of MIR. Taylor
a buck shot entered the wind pipe of
Mr.. Monts, from which he died.
The above facts we learned from
the coroner, who held an inquest over
the body of MIR. Monts on Sunday, the
returning verdict "That Mr.. Henry
Monts came to his death by a gun-shot
wound from the hands of Mr.. Godfrey
Taylor"
Mr.. Taylor came down Saturday
night and surrendered to Sheriff Cor
ley.
Both parties we're men of families
and the affair is regretted by friends
and neighbors.

THREE YOUNG WOMEN
DROWNED IN GEORGIA
Disrobed, Jumped Into a Branch and
Were Never Again Seen Alive.

Griffin, Ca, Aug. 25.-Three young
and beautiful women were drowned
this afternoon while bathing in a
small branch in the northern suburbs
of Griffin. Those drowned were: Mrs.
A. R. Spangler, bride of few
months, aged Is years; Miss Beulah
Hancox, aged 16, and Miss Pearl
Ramsey, of Columbus, Ca, aged 1S.
The only eye witness. to the affair
was a four-year-old sister of Miss Han
cox, and the little tot was 50 badly
frightened that she can give only very
meagre particulars.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mrs. Spangler called at the Hancox
home and asked Miss Hancox and her
guest, Miss Ramsey, to accompany
her to the branch, only a few hun
dred yards distant, to get some white
clay. Reaching the branch they
found in secluded spot pool about
70 feet wide and 20 feet long and some
one suggested bath. They disrobed
and a negro woman, working in a
field near by, saw Mrs. Spanglerjump
from the bank into the water, several
feet below, and few moments later
the young ladies followed. Soon the
woman's attention was attracted by
the cries of Nita Hancox, four years

old, who screamed that her sister was
drowning. The negro woman ran
to the rescue, but nothing was seen
but the placid surface of the pool. The
terrified child ran home, giving the
alarm in that direction, while the
negro woman summoned help near
by. MIR. Telfair Thurman was the
first white person on the spot, and
without a moments delay plunged
into the pool and at depth of 10 feet
recovered the three bodies. Physi-
clans were in attendance, but the
young women were past human help.

cAMPAraN MEETINGS.
Synopsis Of Speeches by Candidates
for the House, Etc.
BY CYRUS L. sHEALY.

The last act of the political drama
of Lexington county was played at
Pine Ridge, August %, and ere this
reaches our readers the curtain of
success or failure will have been
drawn. The acts that will be played
during the next two weeks will be
short and the players few. We have
been with the campaign party from
start to finish, and have endeavored
TO treat every man fairly and honest
II in our reports.
The third week of our rounds car
RED US through the Dutch Fork Sec
tion Of the county. Having read Zach
cGhee's report of the Hilton barbe-
cue, in The State of July o., we had
our eyes wide open when we landed
on the north bank of Saluda river.
At all the meetings held in the Fork,
we had, Of course, expected to meet
Dutch rnfiians who were cussin' be-
tween each breath, fighting with their
pipes in their mouths and selling blind
booze from their chip pockets and
other dark places" That is about
how any one would have felt who did
not know those people and who had
read Mr.. McGhee's article about them.
But we knew better. Our parents
were born and reared in this same
section and there is enough Dutch
blood in our veins to make us think
little less of The States Washington
correspondent for having written such
an article. Lexington people don't
back from existing conditions; and
when you speak Of us we would be
much obliged if you were to speak
the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth.
{ The people of the Fork are intelli-
gent, well-to-do and progressive. The
business men are doing well in their
lines. The towns, being backed by
the good farmers, are growing every
day. Chaplin is in the lead, and she
is hustling to stay there. The people
ought not to complain on account of
their crops; for we have been all over
the county and nowhere have we seen
better prospects.
The artful candidates, being aware
that the end was near, lost no time in
burton-holing and otherwise courting
the voters of this section.

New Electric Power House.

The preparatory work on the power
dam below Dreher's ferry, on Saluda
river, is in progress. The location for
the new enterprise is so favorable that
at no distant day we look for plenty

Lexington enterprises and other pur-
poses.
Why not make the dam answer for
the public bridge 80 much needed, as
well as for the electric purposes?
