getner with the lumbermen, hardware
dealers and building supply houses,

There are a number of houses that

John Marshall, colored, SHOT and
probably fatally wounded BOB White
on Tuesday at Dr. 5. c. Bakers iarra,
three miles this side OF Mayesviile.
Marshall used a single barrel breach
loading shot gun, infijcting q wound in
Whites left side, that is almost GER
tain to,resuit fatally. When the shoot
ing occurred Marshall was standing
within FIVE steps of White and the en-
tire load took effect in his side.
Marshall was arrested on a warrant
issued by Magistrate Hardy and COM
nitted to joil. Application for bail
has been made, but Magistrate Hardy
refused to grant it owing to the con-
dition of the wounded man who is in
the Sumter Hospital at the point Of
death.
John Marshall, the negro who shot
and seriously wounded Bob White a
few days ago has been granted bail,
Whites condition having improved SO
much that his recovery is now almost
assured.

Sheriff Muldrow subsequently found it..
Up to this morning DeSaussure had
been unable to give any satisfactory
account OF his movements between the
time he left home and his return near
the hour of 9 o'clock. There are other
circumstances that point to his guilt
that will come out at his trial and as
sist IN perfecting the chain of evidence
that Will prove him to be guilty Of the
crime.

faith that we can some Time do the
thing which we cannot now see any

the belief that we will accomplish
it, that somehow, some way, it will

a magnet to draw the thing desired.
