Nationals Take the Lead.
Neither side scored in the third, although
Cross whipped a fine double into left field
with two out. In the fourth, after the
Highlanders had been retired runless, the
Nationals got busy and chased a solitary
run over the plate, taking the lead. Alti
Ter singled to right and quickly stole sec

taken a liking to Keefe, then soaked out
beautiful single to left and Altizer easily
beat the throw home.
The Highlanders couldn't be easily
shaken off and came right back in the next
inning with run that again tied the
score. Bobby keefe led off with a nice
double into left field, and Conroy sent him
to third with a sacrifice. Keller followed
with fly to Ganley and keefe rushed
home.
Patten got base on balls in this in
ming, but a double play prevented any
scoring by the locals. The visitors went
out in order in the sixth. and then the Ma

that wound up with victory in the next
inning. Cross and Jones were easy out.

Shot His Little Playmate.

GREENWOOD, January 5.-A most
distressing accident happened today
in Greenwood, the first Of it's kind in
this city. Little Hal Norris, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. Norris, and aged
about ten years, was shot in the
head, and perhaps fatally wounded
by Will Bodie, son of Mr.. J. W.
Bodie, with a parlor rifle.
Accounts of the shooting differ.
One is to the effect that it was in
territorial, while young Bodie says he
did not intend to shoot his playmate,
but shot at a sparrow, and did not
know that the boy was in range of
his rifle.
Young Bodie is now in Jail pending
the effect Of the shot. It is a
most deplorable affair. Young
Norris is a very bright little fellow,
and the whole town sympathizes
with his parents in their grief.

of the 5 o'clock Augusta train out Of
Charleston in the afternoon to 3.45
p. m. They declare that the ad-
vancing of the hour for departure
will mean the loss Of heavy trade
from their customers from Bamberg,
St. George, Orangeburg and other
nearby cities: It has been the Gus
tom of these good people to come to
Charleston in the morning, do their
shopping and return home the same
afternoon. Now, the merchants say,
the business they enjoyed will be di.

goes into effect next Sunday unless
some change is made, which Col.

County Commissioners.

There was no meeting Of the coun-
ty board of commissioners last Mon
day, as the new members had not
yet been commissioned. A called
meeting Of the old board was held
on December 31st for the purpose of
winding up the affairs Of the year.
One application to be placed on pau
per list was granted and another
was held for further investigation.
S. D. M. Guess petitioned for a new
road, and it was granted, provided
he would pay all expenses. The use
Of the old Charleston and Augusta
road near Midway was discontinued,
as there is another road used by the
public.
A statement of the total county
expenses for last year is now being
prepared, and we will publish same,
as a matter of information to the
tax payers, as soon as it is finished.

Cremated at Logging Camp.

GEORGETOWN, JAM Intelli-
gence has been received of the burn
ing to death of Mr.. P. R. Nesmith,
familiarly known as ''Pink" Ne
smith, at one of the logging camps
of the Atlantic Coast Lumber cor
poration. Mr.. Nesmith was spend
ing the Christmas holidays in camp
alone, the rest of the force having
gone to their homes or come to town.
The supposition is that he became in
toxicated and fell asleep in his camp,
which caught fire and consumed
him. His charred remains were
found among the burned timbers.
Foul play is not suspected, as he had
had little or no money at the camp
and probably not an enemy in the
world.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
White Man Held up on the Road and
Robbed by Negro.

AIKEN, S. c., Jan. 3.-One of the
boldest holdups that has ever occur
red in the county took place near
Aiken Tuesday night. Mr.. Press
Ergle, of Graniteville, was knocked
down and robbed by negro, Gus
Glover, while he was driving to
Aiken in a buggy from Augusta.
When he was near Robinson's pond,
about two miles from here, he was
approached by some one behind, who
struck him and he fell out of the
buggy. The negro instantly was
upon him and clutched his throat
and choking him into silence, pro-
ceeded to relieve him of all he had in
his pockets. about two dollars, a
knife, pair of gloves and watch. The
negro then left Mr.. Ergle, who hid
himself for the time near the road.
Shortly after his horse, Which had
gone a short way and stopped, was
led on by some one coming up in a
wagon, who Mr.. Ergle thought to be
the robber, but which was his own
team he had along. He then walked
on to Aiken, where he spent the
night. Yesterday morning, while
upon the street, he saw negro
whom he suspected to be the guilty
one, as he decoyed the negro into
showing his knife, which was the one
taken from him. He Immediately
had the negro, who was Gus Glover,
arrested and Mr.. Ergle's watch,
gloves and pocket knife were found
upon him. He is now in Jail await
ing trial for highway robbery.

News Among the Churches.

The fourth Sunday was spent with
the writer's brother, S. P. Hair, at
Clients Branch and Double Pond
churches. We were at Clients
Branch in the forenoon, where the
Sunday school gave the Christmas
program suggested by DIR. Brown.
Miss Florence Sandifer gave an ex-
cellent recitation Of her own select
ion, and the writer spoke in behalf
of aged ministers relief. A collect
ion was taken for this cause.
We went from there to Double
Pond, for an afternoon service,
where we learned of the burning of
Clients branch church building. The
fire resulted from a defective fue.
Some of the people saw the fire and
returned in time to save the organ
and few of the seats. The build
ing was constructed of wood, and
finished only about two years ago. 1t
was worth about $1,000. The loss
will be felt very keenly by the men,
bers who have lost much by the crop
failure of the past year.
At Double Pond the Sunday school
gave DR.. Browns program, and
Miss May Edenfeld gave an excel
lent recitation. The exercises here
took a patriotic turn, and the choir
gave some very excellent music suit
able for the occasion. The writer
spoke again for the old preachers
and collection was taken.-J. K.

Trotti's Assailants Arrested.

WILLIsToN, Jan. LIT is believed
that the parties who waylaid and
robbed Mr.. Sam Trotti a few nights
ago are now safely lodged in Jail.
By the evening of the day after Mr..
Trotti had been knocked senseless
with a piece Of two-inch pipe, four
negroes had been arrested. Of
these all were released except Hay
wood Jefferson, who was lodged in
Banwell Jail. The better element
among the negroes took an interest
in running the, guilty parties down,
with the result that Quincy Bunyan,
another negro, was arrested last
night and made a full confession Of
the whole affair, stating that Jeffer-
son had knocked Mr.. Trotti down
and he received a part Of the stolen
money.
The spirit of those negroes who
combined to ferret out the criminal
can not be too highly commended,
and if their example shall be follow
ed by others it will mark a new era
in the negro problem. It may be
added that the negro, Quincy Bun
yam, who was arrested last night,
has a brother, Jesse Bunyan, who is
now serving term in the peniten-
tiary for burglary.
