cheaper than paying rent, but 1 guess It

BLOODY AFrRAY IN EDGEF1ELD.
Thomas Glanton Fatally Shot by
Warren McDaniel-Son of Glanton
Stabbed.

Edgeheld, July 1.-Sheriff Outz, Of
Edgefeld, this afternoon returned
from Modoc, on the Charleston &
Western Carolina Railroad in Edge
field county, whittier he hurried on
Sunday to look into a most unfortu-
nate and bloody affray.
Mr.. Winchester Mcdaniel, man
Of means and high character, is the
leading merchant of Modoc. Mr.. Tom
Glanton, also of Modoc, entered Nc
Daniels store under the influence of
whiskey, it is said, late on Saturday
afternoon and became engaged in
dispute with Mcdaniel and his two
sons, who were in the store, about
some little account. He was order
ed or pushed out Of the store, but re-
turned his return giving rise to
bloody affray, the particulars Of which
are not yet very clear.
In this affray Warren Mcdaniel,
one OF the sons of Winchester Nc
Daniel. shot Tom Glanton in the
stomach twice and in all probability
the wound will prove fatal. Glanton
emptied his pistol without effect.
Which man began the shooting does
not seem to be clear yet
Freeman Glanton, son of Tom
Glanton, was also stabbed and but for
timely medical aid might have bled to
death.
Tom Glanton was taken to the hos
pital in Augusta. where at this mo-
nent he lies in extremis. if not dead.
Just before Sheriff Outz left Modoc a
local physician returned from the
hospital in Augusta and reports that
there was no earthly hope of Clan
tors life.
Should Glanton die Warren Nc
Daniel Will come Immediately to
Edgefeld and surrender himself to
the sheriff.
