o'clock. The two men are brothers
in-law and bad blood had been brew
ing between them for some time. DR..
Mellow took the train for Heath
Springs this morning and the shoot
ing was over before the train left
the depot. The shooting commenced
as soon as the two men saw each
other. McDow did no shooting but
1t is said he had a pistol on his per-
son. Bridges used double-barreled
breech-loading shotgun, the shells
being loaded with No. 4 shot. One
load of shot took effect In the left
arm just below the shoulder blade,
the second In the right forearm and
the third in the legs above the knees.
The wounds are serious and 1t Is
thought the left arm and right hand
of DR.. McDow may have to be am
putated. Dr., w. s. Moore OF Heath
Springs is in charge Of DR.. McDow
and will carry him to the Rock Hill
hospital for treatment tonight.
1t seems likely now, says Column
bia dispatch, that what Is known as the
railroad merger case, will be tried in
January at special term before Judge
Memminger at Charleston. The case
was transferred to Richland some
months ago from Kershaw, the conten-
ton at the time being that there would
be time for It's hearing in Richland at
the term opening the latter part Of Mo-
yember, because the presiding Judge
would be free for the balance of the
year Attorney General Youmans has
called a conference of the especial at
torneys appointed by the general as
sembly to be held in Columbia on the
18th, and decide on what Is best to
Ee done. These attorneys are Judge ].
F. Izlar of Orangeburg, chairman; ].

Spartanburg, November z: Men,
bers Of Baptist churches in every sec
tion of South Carolina are looking
forward TO the State Baptist conven-
tion, which will convene In Spartan
burg, Nov. 81. 1t is expected that
fully 500 delegates. ministers, church
workers and representatives Of various
boards will be present The work OF
the convention will for the most part
be confined to the discussion OF edu-
cational and missionary work
throughout the state. No questions
relating to church government will
be discussed as each church has the
right to act and settle questions for
itself. The members of the denomi-
nation In Spartanburg are looking
forward with much pleasure and
fifteen years since there has been an
annual meeting Of the church here and
since that time there has been a
great growth both Of city, its church
es and the denomination throughout
the state. The large new building Of
the First Baptist church on Main
street will be the place where the
session will be held. 1t is not expect
ed that there will be any difficulties
In accommodating the visitors. The
class rooms, parlors and dining rooms
In other parts Of the church will pro-
vide places Of meeting for the various
committees and agents Of the denom-
ination at work. Within the next few
days the committee on reception and
entertainment will be appointed and
everything will be done to provide
for the comfort and pleasure OF the
visitors who will attend the conven-
tion.
= Everything is not going smoothly
In the case Of all the immigrants who
came over on the Wittekind. Some
went to Anderson to work In the cotton
mills there. some went to Darlington,
some remained in Charleston and 9TH
ers went to Columbia. Others went to
other parts Of the state. A crowd Of
fifty or more which went to Darling
ton to work in the Hartsville cotton
mills, became dissatisfied before they
were located. They declared that they
had been told that they would be paid
$3.50 a day, allowed free house rent,
and given patch Of land to work free
for five years. Upon learning that this
was all a mistake, they announced IL
as their purpose to return at once to
their homes, and started to walk to Co
lumbia. Mr.. Twitty, general manager
Of the Darlington Manufacturing COM
pany tried in every way In his power
to satisfy them, but without success.
The mayor Of Darlington and other
prominent citizens, however, finally
gave them to understand that II they
would go their way would be paid to
Columbia. They accepted the offer.
Upon the arrival Of the immigrants In
Columbia representatives Of various
labor organizations circulated among
them and went about doing all they
could to dissatisfy them. These repre-
sentatives included men who could talk
to the immigrants in their native tom
CUES. 1t is generally understood that
the trade unionists Of all kinds are op-
posed to the bringing over Of the i'm
migrants and to the immigration move
ment generally. 1t has developed very
clearly that the management OF many
Of the large mills has been cooperating
with Mr.. Watson and It Is now very
clear that with the first cargo OF immt-
grants landed the experiment has only
been fairly launched. There is going
to be more or less trouble In getting
the newly arrived immigrants to stick.
Quite a number of the immigrants are
people OF means. Several Of them made
deposits in the Columbia banks after
their arrival in the city. the deposits
In the aggregate amounting to several
thousand dollars. These moneyed I'M
migrants are calculating on buying
land and going to farming or engag-
ing In business.
