One of the saddest tragedies that
has ever occurred in the annals of
South Carolina, happened in Colum-
bia last Thursday when Mr.. Cullen
Blair, one of the most trusted and
best liked conductors of the Colum-
bia, Newberry & Laurens railroad,
was killed in his own home by his
young and handsome wife, Mrs. Ethel
Darlington Blair.
Mr.. Blair came in off his run Thurs
day, as usual, and after attending to
some business up town, went direct
to his home on Marion street. A
quarrel ensued between him and his
wife. Mrs. Blair claims that her hus-
band came home drunk and threat
ened to strike her as he had so often
done before, while others testify that
he was perfectly sober. She claims
that pistol had been lying on the
mantel for several months, and that
Mr.. Blair started for the weapon,
and she rushed by him and reached
it first. They both got hold of the
gun, she claims, and in the struggle
it was discharged four times: one shot
taking effect in the stomach. He was
carried Immediately to DR.. Knowl-
toms infrmary, where he died 80
minutes later.
To DR.. Knowlton Blair stated that
he went to his home and asked his
wife why she had not paid certain
bill, and while setting on trunk in
the hall his wife shot him. He also
stated that a man by the name, of
Armes, from Greensboro, n. c., had
been paying attentions to- his wife
and that the pistol used belonged to
him.
At the coroners inquest on Friday
the State was represented by Solio-
itor Geo. Bell Zimmerman and Mrs.
Blair by Lyles & Mcmahon. Since
the inquest, however, Messrs. Lyles
& McMahon have withdrawn from
the case and Messrs. Nelson & Nelson
have been engaged to defend the un-
fortunate woman.
Mr.. Blair was about so years old,

pleasant and refreshing, and to say
we were glad to meet our kins-people
and to share their unbounded hospi-
ltality, is but a mild expression of our
gratitude.
These semi-annual trips through the
county, mingling with the people,
brings US in closer touch with each
other; and learning their views on
the different questions and condi-
tions of the homes and country, not
only gives the necessary information,
but makes it pleasant and profitable.
We are glad to note that the people
are making their returns promptly
and Auditor Dent is growing more
popular at each succeeding place.

PROHIBITION FOR GEORGIAN
BLACKS.

Georgia favors prohibition for the
simple reason that Georgia a a very
large negro population 1t is m
inently desirable to keep the negroes
from liquor. The population of Georgia
at the last census was 1881, 294 whites
and 1,034.S13 negroes, or nearly equally
divided between the two races. The
whites can afford to dispense with the
public bar, because they can provide
their club houses and residences with
all the essentials, If liquor is kept from
the masses of negroes in town and
country.
The prohibition question in Georgia
is really a race question only. Ala
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina. Virginia. and
Tennessee r all largely populated by
blacks. and in Mississippi they pre-
~ponderate. Prohibition-for the blacks
will probably soon be the rule in all
of the Southern States having large
negro populations.
