Rawl's Slayer Held.

Tavares, Fla, November PAT. s..
Glover was given a preliminary hear
ing at Umatilla, this county, to-day,
before Justice Clark and was held for
manslaughter for killing Edward s..
Rawl.
Bond was placed at $1,000 for the
defendants appearance before the
circuit court in March. The bond
was given shortly afterwards and
Sheriff Cassidy released the young
man from custody and he will leave
tomorrow with his father for his
home in Aiken, S. G..
A number of people attended the
hearing and much interest was mani
tested.
Attorney G. B. Zimmerman of
Batesburg, S. c., represented the
prosecution, and JOS. H. Jones of Or
lando represented the defense.
The speeches of the two attorneys
were eloquent and excited much in
terest. The sentiment Of the MAORI
ty of the people seems to be in favor
of the defendant, and they say that
he acted in self defense.

OFFICER DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Policeman Dellinger Shoots White
Man at WinnsborO.

Winnsboro, November 21.-Police-
man Dellinger was forced to shoot
a white man here about 6 o'clock
this evening on Main street. The
prisoners name is Bass, an employee
at the Fairfield cotton mills. He was
drinking and had been warned sever
al times this afternoon about his dis
orderly conduct. About o'clock
Dellinger arrested Bass and was ta-
king him to the guard house. Bass
was protesting vigorously all the while
and broke loose from the officer.
When called upon to halt, Bass made
an insulting remark and put'his hand
to his hip pocket, but Policeman Del
linger was too quick for him and
shot twice at Bass, one ball striking
him behind his left ear and coming
out the left side of his face. Bass
is resting easy and no fatality is ex-
pected of what might have been a
death shot had the bullet struck one
inch farther to the right.

WINTHROP FEVER SITUATION.
No Deaths and no New Cases In
Eleven Days.

Rock Hill, November 21.-The
fever situation at Winthrop, which
has all along been of great interest
to citizens of the State, and especially
so to those of Rock Hill, is altogeth-
er favorable, 1t is matter Of much
congratulation that the outbreak has
passed without a fatality. Acting
President Kinard, who has handled
the situation most admirably, has
had the assistance and hearty coop
Grafton of the authorities, the physi-
clans and the students themselves.
DR.. Kinard today gave the following:
1T is now eleven days since a case
of typhoid fever has developed at
the College, and the infrmary has
been free of suspected cases for eight
days. This indicates clearly that the
cause. of the fever, whatever it may
have been, has been removed. The
excitement at the College has
died down and the work OF
the institution is moving along
regularly and smoothly. There
has been no cessation of the work In
the class room. Some Of the students
who were called home have returned.
The others will doubtless return In
few days, and thus make up as soon
as possible the work in the class
room, which they have missed By
their absence"
The dispensary in Clarendon coun-
ty was closed last Saturday. The
recent election held in that county
was against the dispensary, and Gov
ernor Ansel ordered that the county
board close up their dispensaries.
They have been keeping open ever
since the election.

Mrs. o. E. Hughes.

After long suffering from heart
trouble, Sister Hughes departed this
life, and we can only submit to our
makers will; rejoicing in the belief
that she is in better world. Our
hopes are supported by the fact that
she was consistent member of the
Methodist church for over fifty years,
and exemplified her Christlike spirit
by her willingness to give up this life
according to her makers law. She
was conscious to the last. Was the
mother of twenty children. Leaves
four daughters and four sons living
and numberless friends to be made
sad by the vacant place in her home
that can ne'er be filled. We extend
sympathy to the bereaved. D. T. S.

One Christmas Dinner Of Frank Kee.
mans

John S. Lopez, in the Christmas
Woman's Home Companion, relates
one Christmas day experience of Frank
Keenan,, well known as leading man
in "The Girl of the Golden West,
and "The Warrens Of Virginia.
ut was in 1887. In that year Mr..
keenan, organized small stock COM
pany at Fort Scott, Kansas. But ap-
proach of Christmas found the COM
pany in hard straits.
"'You can imagine my feelings,
explains Mr.. keenan,. when it be-
came evident 1 would have to quit.
Our leading woman, Jennie Lee, a
well-known stock actress, was as
blue as I when we separated from
the others and started off together
for Wichita on that gloomy Christ
mas morning. We were too blue to
talk.
"'When the dinner hour arrived,
the train stopped on the line. We
took dinner with the train hands at
a miserable excuse for hotel. AL
though the fare included turkey, the
dinner was bad, and looking across
the table at my companion, 1 saw
tears trickling down her cheeks.
"T knew what was making her
cry. 1t was the realization of her
utter loneliness on a day when the
whole world was celebrating and ma
king merry. And here were we, eat
ing a poor dinner, cherries and al
most hopeless. But I would not let
her suspect that 1 shared her feelings.
So I asked why she was crying. In
a broken voice she sobbed:
"Christmas dinner-and no
cranberry sauce!" Then she buried
her face in her hands.
"'Was she serious? Of course she
was. 'For, strangely, the cranberry
sauce seemed to be the only thing
lacking to reconcile her to fate

WHITE WOMAN A THIEF.
Accused of Having Taken Linen and
SilyerWare.

A search of the effects of Mrs. Will
liam T. Mccullough, formerly pam
try keeper at Wright's hotel, but
more recently conducting boarding
house on Assembly street, reveals
linen and silverware from Wright's S
and supposedly from other Southern
hotels, although the marks other
tnan Wright's had been partially
erased.
Some time ago an actress who had
been boarding with Mrs. Mccullough
complained to the police that jewelry
aggregating $50 had been stolen from
her room. An investigation discover
ed the jewelry in Mrs. McCullough's s
possession, but criminal action was
not pursued by the actress.
The search of the house formerly
occupied by Mrs. Mccullough was
made by Special Deputy R. O. Thack-
ham, at the instigation of the land
lord, E. A. Allworden, who wished
to- secure himself as to the rent after
Mrs. Mccullough had had trouble
with the actress about the jewelry.
She was pantry keeper at Wright's 8
hotel until about six months, ago,
and has worked in Southern 'hotels
in other cities, among the number
Augusta, from which city some OF
the linen, etc., found, is supposed to
have been taken.
Mr.. Wright of Wright's hotel iden-
titled hotel silverware as the property
of Wright's hotel.
The whereabouts of Mrs. McCul-
lough now are not known-Columbia

NEGRO ATLURAY
BRUTE PAYS DEATH PENALTY
FOR ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.
ham Gilmore Taken from Jail by
Angry Mob and Done to Death.
Confessed His Crime.

Luray, Hampton County, Novem-
ber 23.-About l o'clock this morn
ing Ham Gilmore, colored, about rs
years old, charged with attempted
criminal assault, was taken from tie
town Jail and lynched by an angry
mob, 800 strong.
The negro was hanged from an oak
tree directly in front of a negro
church in one of the most prominent
streets in town.
The negro is alleged to have at
tempted criminal assault upon two
daughters of MIR. A. G. Fits, a prom
inent farmer residing near this town.
About 8 o'clock Sunday morning
Mr.. Fits was awakened by the
screams of his two daughters, aged
10 and 19 respectively, who occupied
a room adjoining his. He rushed to
scene and as he entered the room
some one leaped out of the window
and made off.
The girls informed their father that
the man had attempted to assault
them. The alarm was at once given
and a number of citizens assembled.
Tracks led from the house to where
Gilmore was found and he was at
once arrested.
In the meantime the magistrate ar
rived on the scene, took charge OF
Gilmore and prevailed upon the citi-
zens to let the law take it's course.
The prisoner was then brought here
and placed nj jail for safe keeping.
This was about p. m. Sunday.
Up to this time the negro had
stoutly denied the charge, but men
kept arriving on the scene and it
could be noticed that they were not
satisfied. - .,
At 1 O'Clock this morning the jail
door was broken down and the prls-
oner taken out. After rope was
placed around his neck he confessed
that he intended to commit criminal
assault. He was then swung up in
front of the church and died from
strangulation. E..
The magistrate held an inquest
this morning and the jury found that
the negro came to his death from
strangulation at the hands of par
ties unknown.
Gilmore implicated another negro
and if the latter is captured he will
probably be lynched.
About 1000 persons viewed the
negro's body this morning.

YORKVILLE GETS ORPHANAGE.
Episcopalians to Move Institution
from Charleston.

Charleston, November 20.-At a
meeting of the board of trustees of
the Episcopal Home and Orphanage
this afternoon it was determined to
separate the institution, retaining
the ladies home in Charleston to oc-
cupy the premises now jointly used
and to establish the orphanage at
Yorkville, whose offer was considered
to be the best of the propositions
made. Greenvilie, Winnsboro, Green
wood and Spartanburg also submit
ted propositions. A committee, con-
sisting of R. I. Manning, chairman;
Rev. o. T. Porcher, Rev. A. S. Thom-
as, Capt. Thomas Pinckney and A.
M. Lee, was appointed to carry out
the plan of separation and reestab-
lishment of the two institutions.
The offer of Yorkville was consid-
cred to be equivalent to an offer of
$4,000 in cash and in addition the
city is to furnish water and light
free of cost for a period of 10 years.
Greenville made the next best offer,
which had a money equivalent of
probably $4,000. The buildings of
the old Kings Mountain Military
academy, founded by Gen. Micah Jen-
kins and Col. Asbury Coward, II
acres of land and $4,000 in cash
practically made up the offer of York
vile.
The board heard the various prop
ositions and first considered the ques-
tion of removal of the institution
from Charleston and then the posi-
BILE place of location. 1t was finally
decided that the best results would
be attained to separate the home
from the orphanage and locate the
institutions as already stated.
