Negro Killed Near Denmark.

ORANGEBURG, March 2S.-News has
reached this city of killing which oc-
Cured near Denmark on Saturday night.
Govan Saley, negro, was the victim,
and he was killedby another negro whose
name cannot be learned. It seems that
the negro who did the shooting, upon
reaching his home on Saturday night,
found his wife and Salley together, and
without OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fired. There
were four bullet holes in the body.
Salley was % or 80 years old, and was a
son of C. D. Salley, well-known and
respectable colored minister, who lives
near this place. The dead man was
married and, with his wife, lived on the
place of Sheriff John H. Dukes, just
outside of Orangeburg. At intervals,
it seems, he would leave home ostensibly
in search of work. His reputation was
not very good and he had been repeated
v warned that his mode of living would
eventually be the means of his undoing.

Queer Accident at Laurens.

LAURENs, March 22.-Mr. Allen
Barksdale, a young son of Mr.. Downs
Barksdale, Of this city, met with a
very peculiar accident here last night
as the result of which he is to-day
suffering from conclusion and is in
a precarious condition. Among 9th
ers Mr.. Barksdale happened to be at
the drug store when a negro woman
was brought in from the street to
have dressed an extremely ugly gap
ing wound, which had been inflicted
with a knife across her jaw. The
sight of the wound and blood caused
young Barksdale to faint. He was
standing near the steps leading to the
basement, and when he collapsed he
fell backyard down these steps: He
received prompt medical aid, but at
noon to-day he was still in a stupor.

Trousseau Gowns.

N"Trousseau gowns are lovelier than
ever" says the fashion editor of the
Woman's Home Companion, "but as
they have increased in beauty, they
have lessened in number. Very few
brides of to-day, no matter how
fashionable they may be, order a
trousseau consisting of a great num-
Der of costumes. The reason for this
is that fashions change so that it is
necessary every little while to have
a new-style gown if one is to keep
pace with the capricious modes.
''The bridal princess gown is a
style which will be, in fashion for a
long time to come. One can wear it
as long as the material lasts by mere
ly changing the sleeves to meet the
requirements of the prevailing fash

Of beauty. Velutina Is plain and rib
bed as well as figured in bright dots
and other designs in silver and gilt.
The ribbed makes up an elegant street
costume with the addition Of q band
Of fur around the sleeves and waist
and such other trimming as the wearer
likes best. 1t is much liked for chill
dren's wear, being so handsome and
durable at so little cost.
With the advent Of winter evening
dress becomes a question that must be
considered. Lace and embroidery over
silk are still the favorite, and indeed
nothing can look richer or more ele-
CANT. A gown on exhibition last week
was exceptionally beautiful. 1t was
ecru colored lace over mauve silk
slip. All along the front Of the prin-
cess shape was a design in daisies, the
OK eyed kind, and these were wrought
very high above the lace, each with a
dark center. The dress was cut me-
dunn low, somewhat in a pompadour
form, with the superimposed daisies all
along the front and out on the shoul-
ders The sleeves were short pufs.
Another evening dress, this one for
a young girl, was Of white dotted net
over a pink slip. This, too, was pr1n'
cess shape, and the skirt was laid In
three sets Of narrow tucks which did
not meet in front. The front breadth
was entirely plain save for the fiat
border Of heavy cluny lace down the
seams. Between the tucks and at the
foot were two scalloped and bound
rufiles Of the pink taffeta. The square
neck was outlined by four Of the
ruffles of tafteta with lace between.
The sleeves were short and pulled. i
have mentioned these two In detail
because they were really representative
gowns and can be copied in any ma
terial. The princess shape Is always
in fashion for those whose figures are
80 perfect that they dare indulge.
Hats grow more and more aggressive
and top heavy every day. Velvet laid
on the frame straight is one Of the
newest styles. One Of these had high
crown covered smoothly and the brim
done in the same way. The color was
a dark purple, with an immense bunch
Of short willow tips in bright green,
with e white aigret set in their center.
The hat was to tip sharply to the
right side, and under the brim on the
left was an enormous bunch Of velvet
violets with leaves. And all around
the edge Of the brim was q fall OF
open embroidery in white batiste.

BIG FIRE IN BISHOPVILLE.
Two Stores Burned Resulting in Loss
of Thirty Thousand Dollars.

B1sHoPv1LLE, March 2O.-Thurs-
day night about 2 o'clock fire was
discovered in the rear of the stores
of the Bishopville Dry Goods COM
pany, which was soon in full force.
The volunteer fire department re-
sponded to the fire alarm and it was
not long before they had the flames
under control, although the wind was
very high. The fire was kept con-
fined to these two buildings, which
prevented the loss Of a whole block.
The stock of goods of this company
was completely destroyed by fire and
water. These buildings were ad-
joining the stores of Mr.. J. B. Kelley
and Mrs. L. C. Dixon, which were al
so brick.
For while it looked as if the fire
department would not be able to con-
troll the flames.
The loss sustained by the dry goods
company is estimated at about $780,
600 with $4,000 insurance, while the
damage to the stores, which are own
ed by Mr.. George M. Stuckey, is es-
timated at about $1,000 with 1000.
Mr.. Kelley, Mrs. Dixon, Mr.. Moore
and Mr.. A. B. DuRant also sustained
considerable loss in that their stocks
were damaged by being moved from
the stores out into the street.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but from all appearances it first
caught near the door on the side of
the building near the rear.

Beaten Again.

A despairing debt collector decided
the other day to corner his quarry al
the bar of a city hotel in the presence
of a number Of his friends, thinking
that by this ruse he would so embar'
rass his man that he would either gel
his money right away or promise Of
early payment. Advancing gently
he tapped the debtor on the should
er, and said:
''Pardon me, Mr.. When are
you going to pay that small amount
you owe my frm?"
The debtor spun around on his heel
and glared.
''I'm no prophet" he roared.
And the debt collector vanished.

Dispensary Trouble In Williamsburg

The county dispensaries arealready
gettingintotrouble. In Williamsburg
county there is a lively row on be-
tween the clerk Of the county board
and the board. It appears that the
clerk suspected that some whiskey
houses were paying commissions to
members of the board on liquors
bought, and he wrote the houses to
find out what commissions they
were paying. He was discharged
from his position, and his side of the
case is that he had reported the mat
ter of commissions to Auditor West
prior to his discharge, and that his
dismissal was due to the fact that he
had given out the information. The
board says he was discharged because
he was trying to get commissions
from liquor dealers on goods bought
by the board. So there you are. The
matter has been investigated, a hear
ing being held at K;ngstree last week,
at which Auditor West and the solici-
tor of that circuit were present. A
lot of testimony was taken and turn
ed over to the governor, but the re-
suit of the investigation had not been
made public at the time of this writ
ing. All the members of the county
board and the clerk testified at the
hearing. There seems to be no ques-
ton as to the books Of the clerk being
straight, but whether anybody was
paid commissions. - =.

Surprise Marriage.

Mr.. j. Harry Murphy and Miss Blanche
Garland surprised their many friends by
getting married last Sunday afternoon.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. j.
B. Traywick at his residence in Den
mark.
These young people had been keeping
company for some time, but the news Of
their union was certainly great sur
prise, as none of their friends knew that
they contemplated such a step. How
ever, without notifying anybody, they
drove to Denmark and were quietly
married.
Mr.. Murphy is the second son Of Post
master ]. P. Murphy, and has been as
sistant postmaster reforseveralyears.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr.. G..
w. Garland, and has for a year or two
been the efficient day operator at the
telephone exchange. She is possessed of
most gracious manners and sweet dis
position, and she numbers her friends
among old and young. Everybody who
uses a telephone is under many obliga-
tions to her for kindnesses rendered.
Always sweet tempered and obliging,
we have heard it said many time by
our business and professional men that
she was the finest operator they had
ever known.
The young couple are residing for the
present at the home of the father of the
groom. The Herald in common with their
very many friends, extends congratula-
tions, and wishes for them long life of
happiness and prosperity. But we who
have to use the phone so often can hard
" forgive Harry for robbing>u us of such
q fine operator.

BILL WILLIAMS FORK
 MINING ACTIVE
lFrom Fridsv's Daily)

Colonel Newton Evans, who recently sold the Signal mine, was in the city yesterday from Bouse and brought n very aattering report of the mining interests of that section.
 Colonel Evans is the president of newly organized company called the Van Britt Copper Mining Company, which has been organized 10 develop and operate n very promising group of claims north of Bill Williams Fork, in which he has had the controlling in terest for some time. The other in- eorporators are K. l.. Summerlin and c. M. Chatter of Los Angeles, who sold the Gold Rhode mine, and James A.. Britton.
 Development work has been going on at the Van Britt group for two or three years and about 1900 feet of shafts and tunneling has been finished. It is now proposed to do considerable more deep sinking. The ore assay from the dump ran about $50 all told in copper, gold and silver values. Col onel Evans thinks he has one of the best prospects in that section.
 Concerning the work at the Signal he stated that three shafts are now down 200 feet. In the footwall shaf' or No. 2 a. the 200 level body oi copper ore ninety feet in width was crosseut. It is thought that even rich CT ore will be encountered at 1000 feet and this mine will some day be sec ond Verde.
