A Shortage in Union.

UNION, May 12.-It has come to light
that W. w. Hughes, for sixteen years
treasurer of the Union Building and
Loan Association, is short in his accounts
several thousand dollars. An attempt has
been made to keep it quiet until the ex-
act amount of the loss could be learned
after expert accountants arrive on Mon
day, to avoid exaggerated and damaging
reports, but this proved impossible.
The Association, which is strictly
local enterprise, has been successfully run
for twenty years, three series having been
wound up. It's believed that series four
and FIVE are the only ones involved ana
that numbers six, seven and eight are
practically unhurt. Mr.. Hughes, who
had entire charge of the Association
funds and assumes sole responsibility TOR
the shortage, which was caused by specu'
fation. has heretofore been considered a
man of strictest honesty.

The June Delineator is most attract
I've number, containing the usual array
of the latest styles, with the interesting
fashion chronicles of Helen Berkeley
Lloyd and Edouard La Fontaine, and
literary features of the greatest excel
lence. Burton E. Stevenson contributes

BarnWell Minister Injured.

BARNwELL, May 10.-Rev. s. E. Prem
tbs, formerly rector of the Church Of the
Holy Apostles here and at present pro-
prietor of the Glendale dairy farm, met
with a very painful and what came near
proving serious accident late yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Prentis has large pas
ture for his cattle few miles from town
and on his way there yesterday he de-
cided to take near cut by walking down
the railroad track of the Atlantic Coast
Line railway. He was on an embank-
ment when he heard train coming. He
stepped down on the side of the embank'
ment to be out of the way of the coming
train and as it passed him he says he
heard some say "look out" and at the
same time he was knocked from his feet,
receiving bruises and injuries to his per-
son. Mr.. Prentis thinks that in some
manner a crosstie lying on the embank-
ment was hit by the moving train and
thrown against him. He was able to
walk home distance of nearly mile.
He is now under medical treatment and
is suffering from the bruises, but does not
think that he is seriously injured.

Death Of Clarence Parnell.

DARLINGTON, May 12-Clarence Parn-
ell, the 1s-year-old son of Mr.. John
Parnell, died last night as result of the
injuries received by him the day before
on the Williams & McKeithan tram train
at Lumber.
Young Parnell was in the employ OF
The Williams & McKeithan Company,
and, at the time of the accident, was rid
ing on the cow-eatcher of the tram en-
CINE on his way to work. 1t seems that
one of the cables used by the mill men in
the handling oflogs was suspended across
the tram road, and from some cause un-
known it sagged enough during the night
to catch the smokestack of the engine as
it passed under the cable, and tear it from
its place on the engine and throw it vio-
lently to the ground. The train was run
ming backwards and that caused it to be
thrown towards the front of the engine,
where it struck young Parnell, mangling
one of his arms and otherwise bruising
him and breaking some of his bones.
Medical aid was rendered, but to no
avail.

STALLION AND BULL FIGHT.
Steel Heels no Match for Horns, so Horse is
Disemboweled.

PATERSON, N. j., May ia terrible
fight between a stallion and vicious bull
occurred on the farm of Paul Hofner, at
Halendon today. The fight resulted in
the disemboweling of the stallion, an ami
NAL valued at $1,000, with record of
2.20. 1t was owned by William Petrie,
of this city.
The stallion, covered by red blanket,
was in the barn, when the bull, seeing
the blanket, became infuriated, and leap.
ing over the fence, attacked the stallion,
who met the bull with his hind legs. His
steel shod hoofs cut deep cash in the
bulls left shoulder.
The blow stopped the bull for NOM
ent, but he returned to the combat, and
the animals fought all over the barnyard.
The farmer and several of his men ran to
the scene with pitchforks, but the bull
felled the stallion before they could save
it. Before the three men succeeded in
beating the bull off, Breen, one of the
farmhands, broke his arm. The bull,
which had given considerable trouble be.
fore today, was shot.

ing Magistrate Sanders had warrants
sworn out for the men charged with as
sisting Ellie Bradley in resisting arrest

their arms until the officers covered them
with guns and took them by force. One

repeating rife. A gun loaded with buck
shot was found in buggy belonging to
one of the negroes. 1t is claimed that
the gun was out there by the wife OF

Trouble With Automobiles.

ANDERSON, May 13.-With the advent
of several new automobiles complaint has
been made in the city and country on ac-
count of the fast speed of some of the
drivers of the machines. A story is be-
ing told in the city of an incident that
occurred in the county few days ago in
which an irate farmer adopted drastic
measures to enforce more moderate
speed. His horse became frightened on
the approach of an automobile, but the
driver showed no inclination to stop in
order to allay the fears of the frightened
animal. The man behind the horse at
this juncture reached down beneath the
seat Of his vehicle drew forth an ugly
looking gun and, with language appro-
pirate to the occasion, brought the auto
mobilist to full stop. This story is
vouched for by we'll known man of the
county.
Willie Blanchett, four-year-old boy,
was run over yesterday afternoon on the
public square by an automobile, but no
blame whatever was attached to the
driver of the automobile. The machine
was moving at moderate speed. The
little fellow was standing near by and the
gong was sounded to warn him. Instead
Of merely standing where he was or get
ting farther away he jumped directly ip
front Of the automobile, which passed
over him before it could be stopped. The
boy was knocked senseless for q while
and received slight wound on the scalp.

lican, his Stepson.

e.. Cannon Sh0t anu Nlieu ny oo' W WIZ
Iiean, his Stepson.
spARrASBURe, May 12.-P. c. Cannon
was shot and instantly killed about 10
o'clock tonight by his step son, Ubl Mil
lican, who is at present in the city jail.
The shooting took place on Morgan
souares almost in trout of the Palm cafe.
The deed was committed with 4-cali-
bre Winchester rifle.
Cannon fell dead in the door OF the
cafe, into which he had started to rum
: the bullet having entered his back at the
centre of the left shoulder blade and
passed through the heart, coming out
Just ever the left nipple. Death in the
opinion of the physicians was instan-
taneous.
Millican was arrested by Chief of Police
A. B. Dean, who attempted to get hold of
the young man before the first shot was
fred. The young man stated that ne had
shot his step father and that he hoped
that he had killed him. He stated that
Cannon had beat his mother and had
made advances to his sister.

add was In session at late hour. The
shooting occurred when the square was
crowded with Saturday night shoppers
and attracted large crowd.

turned to the street. Ubi Millican was
seen coming down the square by Chief
Dean, as he stated, from the direction OF

young man and before he reached him
the first shot was fired, which shot is
thought to be the one which caused Can
mons death. Cannon ran toward the

door his strength failed him and he fell
in the vestibule dead.

was justified in killing Cannon.
