Heavy Loss to COl0red Man.

sMoAK, January ~, 19O6.-Peter Kim
sey, a respectable colored man living on
the place of Mr.. j. b. Smith in the lower
part of the county, lost his houses by fire
last Tuesday night-dwelling house,
kitchen, smokehouse and kettlehouse.
He saved the most of the furniture in the
house and the groceries in the smoke
house, but lost most all that he had in the
kitchen. The fire was discovered about
2 o'clock in 'the passage between the
dwelling and kitchen, and burned very
rapidly. Tbeneighbors gathered quick
ly, but could not save the houses. There
was no insurance on the buildings, nor
household goods. The loss on buildings
was about five Or six hundred dollars.
The cause of the fire is supposed by some
to be incendiary, by others rats.

Homicide In COlletOD.

WATERFORD, Jan. oh. A. Francis
on Saturday night at his meat market in
town struck Lucious Crosby in the head
with piece of iron. 1t seems that they
were drinking and quarreling over some
beef. Crosby was carried to Klein's drug
store, where his wound was dressed. He
then went about the streets and did some
trading and walked to his home, about a
mile from town. He afterwards became
unconscious and died yesterday after.
noon.
Francis surrendered to the sheriff last
night. The inquest was held today.
Both parties are young white men and
have families. Francis says he acted in
self.defense, though no weapons were
found on Crosby. The defendant has
employed counsel and will perhaps apply
for bail.

SCRUGGS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Young White Man in Jail at Gaffney Makes
Several Attempts on His Life.

Young White Man in Jail at Gaffney Makes
Several Attempts on His Life.
GAFFNEY, January Eft has been dis
closed that Pryor Scruggs, the white
youth who is in Jail here charged with
assault with intent to rape, and shooting
a negro woman near this city some time
ago, attempted to end his life on Wednes.
day night by hanging himself with his
blanket.
Some surprise is evidenced at this
action,-especially when the woman, Lois
Glover, is doing well and thought to be
recovering. The surprise is made greater
when it is considered that he made three
attempts to commit suicide by hanging,
and failing in that ate generous quanti'
ty of glass. His escape in the four in
stances from death were truly remarkable.
One time his blanket or improvised rope
broke with his weight and on the other
two occasions he was unable to accom-
plish his purpose on account OF lack OF
height, the fall not being sufficient to
break his neck. His escape when eating
the glass was marvellous, as the amount
consumed must have been fully two
inches of glass from lamp chimney.
However he doesn't seem to be suffering
any ill effects from the presence of the
glass.
scruggs, it will be remembered, is the
white boy of 10 years of age, who is
charged with shooting Lois Glover, a
negro woman near this city. he alleges
that he shot in self. defense, she having
drawn pistol on him.
The tern of court at which he will be
tried convenes in Gaffney February Goth.
The attempt occurred on Wednesday
evening after most of the prisoners had
retired. However, it is saidthat Scruggs
awoke them to tell them of his intentions
and to bid them farewell.
