DIR. Under ACQUITTED.
Prominent Union Physician Not Gull
ty Of Murder.

Union, Sept. 10.-At 1855 this
morning the jury in the case OF Dr..
w. L. Linder, a prominent young
physician of this city, who wss
charged with having caused the
death of Lucy Lipsey, negro wo-
man, here last October, after being
out nearly four hours, returned with
the verdict of not guilty.
Much interest has centered In the
case, because the woman who met
her death was the one who had, dur
ing the month of March preceding,
gone to the private Office Of DR.. ".
L. Linder and after a short confer.
ence with him, when he went to an
swer a knock at the door, had shot
him in the back with revolver, In
flicting a wound which for some time
was considered critical, but from the
effects of which he recovered.
The most interesting part Of the
evidence introduced was the dying
declaration of the woman, Lucy Lip
sey, in which she declared that she
did not want DR.. Linder hurt and
that she forgave him. The tes-
timony of John Humphreys, the driv-
er who drove Lucy Lipsey home sf-
ter she was shot, and who swore thxk
he heard her say: 1T was well that
DR.. Will shot me when he did," and
the testimony of the defendant him
self, who, on the stand, told of hAv-.
ing received letters from the woman
containing threats against his life,
particularly stating that she wouf6
shoot him on the streets. -
After all evidence was in, strong
arguments were made this morning
by counsel for both the State and the
defense. The charge of Judge Klugh
took about 16 minutes, after which
the case went to the jury.

COURT DISBARS DUNCAN.
Unusual Punishment Imposed on Co.
lumbia Lawyer.

Columbia, Sept. 11.-John T. Dun
can has been disbarred. The Su-
preme Court of the State, taking up
the matter of it's motion, Las decreed
that John T. Duncan shall no longer
be enrolled as practicing attorney
of the Courts of South Carolina. This
is an action seldom taken by the
Courts of this State, seldom by any
State, and in this case the circum-
stances are pathetic indeed.
The case in question, in which Mr.,
Duncan was brought before the court
for submitting to the Supreme Court
affidavits which he knew to be false
and fititious, is familiar to the pub
lie, and the opinion of the court gives
full and succinct history of the pro-
ceedings. The opinion is written by
Circuit Judge Memminger, who sat
in place of Justice Gary, and is con-
Cured in by all members Of the
Court, Chief Justice Pope, and AS
sociate Justices Jones and Woods
The order of the court was this morn
ing served on Mr.. Duncan, who later
called at the Office of the clerk Of Su-
preme Court and carefully read the
entire opinion. The order commands
him to surrender his license to prac-
tice law in this State.
It has been seldom that any law
yer has been disbarred in this State
and the mere fact Of disbarment is
the heaviest punishment which can
be meted out to a lawyer. In this
view of the matter the Supreme
Court has not acted on the charges
involving contempt of Court.
The order of the Court is as fol-
lows:
THAT said John T. Duncan be, and
he is hereby ordered, to be stricken
from the roll of attorneys Of this
State, and that he appear before the
clerk of this court and render up un'
to him his certificate of admission tc
the practice of the law in this State
for cancellation by said clerk; and
that he, the said John T. Duncan
from henceforth and forever more be
disbarred and not be heard as an at
torney or counsellor at law, nor 9th
erwise act as a lawyer in the State
of South Carolina; nor in other State
basing his claims upon the same Ger
tifcate hereby ordered to be cancell
ed and forfeited; and let the de
cretal portion of this opinion bt
forthwith served on said John T
Duncan. And it is so ordered"

NEWS FROM GOVAN.
Residence Burglarized-School to
Open-Personals and Other Matters

Govan, Sept. 14.-On last Thurs
day night the residence of Mr.. w. A
Hay was broken into and robbed
but the burglars plans did not VOL
to his advantage. When Mr.. Ha!
was at work in his store Thursda!
night he pulled from his pocket
roll of green backs to give change tt
a customer in the presence OF sever
al colored men. Among whom was
Neal Howard, who bears the reputa
ton of being a notorious rogue. Mr.
Hay had no idea of being robbed
but before going to bed he put away
his money, as usual, although he LEFT
in his pants pocket, his purse, Whlcf
contained a one dollar bill, which
was torn almost completely in hall
and stropped with paper, and some
smaller change.
About midnight Mrs. Hay was
awakened by a noise created by the
burglars running against the fire
stick, which was leaning against the
chimney, and thereby causing 1t tc
fall to the floor.
Before Mr.. and Mrs. Hay could
get up the visitor had made his es'
cape. They did not miss anything
all the next morning, when Mr.. Hay
found that his purse had been taken
from his pants pocket. Neal How
ard was at once suspected as being
the guilty party, but no proof could
be obtained. However, Mr.. Hay be-
gan to recall what he had in his
purse, and remembered the torn one
dollar bill.
+ He Immediately notified the mer-
chants of Govan, Olar, and Denmark
to look out for the bill which he de-
scribed. About two hours after this
action was taken, Neal Howard ap-
peare,l at the Olar dispensary for a
bottle of "fuss x" AS payment for
same he presented the torn bill that
met Mr.. Hays description. Neal
was at once arrested. He plead gull
ty before Magistrate w. B. Chitty,
and has been given the privilege OF
residing with Sheriff Hunter till the
next term of court.
Neal Howard robbed Kennedy &
Lancaster's store about two years
ago, and the circuit court only gave
him five months on the chain gang.
We wonder what will be the SEN
tence for this offense.
The Govan high school will open
tomorrow (Tuesday) under the
management of Prof. Geo. w. Mich
OILS, of Newberry, and Miss Lola
Smith, of Anderson. Prof. Nichols
arrived last Friday and Miss Smith
will come tonight. We welcome
them into our midst.
The Woodmen Of the World held
their regular meeting here last We'd
nesday night and conferred the
morning degree upon six candidates.
Miss Jennie Herren will leave for
Winthrop College next Thursday.
Messrs. Glenn Hutto and Buist
Brickle, of Bamberg, paid their viual
visit to our town Sunday. w. are
always glad to see them. L. A. H.

RIGHT Arm AMPUTATED
MIR. d. H. WOODWARD VICTIM OF
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
While Unclogging a Cotton Gin His
Right Hand Was Caught and
Drawn Into Gin Saws.

On Wednesday morning, Mr.. D. H
Woodward, one of the most promi-
nent farmers of Montmorenci, had
the misfortune to get his right arm
so lacerated that it was necessary to
amputate it to save his life. He is
now in serious condition, but his
attending physicians are hopeful OF
a recovery.
Wednesday morning early, he went
to the ginnery of the Montmorenci
Farmers Co., of which company he
is one of the leading stockholders
The ginnery had already started to
ginning and when Mr.. Woodward
was present one of the gins became
clogged with cotton. He reached his
hand under the breastboard to get
the clog out when his hand in some
way came in contact with the gin
saws, drawing his entire arm inward
with great force. One of the en-
ployees was fortunately nearby, and
he succeeded in throwing the gin out
of gear in time to save Mr.. Wood
ward from further injury. However,
he had already sustained very Sc
rious injury. His arm was torn, and
the bones broken in several places,
and the shoulder bone jerked out OF
place.
Physicians were summoned as soon
as possible, and the injured man was
taken to his home, where the physi-
clans found it necessary to ampu-
tate the arm at the elbow. Yester-
day he was resting easily, but is still
in a serious condition.-Aiken Jour-
nal and Review.

COLLEGE BOYS WORKED.
They Went out West and Helped HaR.
vest Wheat.

Five young men of Anderson a.
sisted in harvesting and gathering the,
| immense wheat crop in the west thu
summer. These gentlemen, John
Prince, Grady Hamlin, Josh Pruita.
Van Pruitt, and Gourdin Allen, have
returned to the city, and according
to their own admission the expert
ence was profitable and healthy, %
well as very enjoyable.
When college closed this spring
for the summer holidays John and
Van Pruitt and Gourdin Allen, Au-
burn students, entered into compact
with other Auburn students to go
west," this summer. John Prince Of
Wofford college and Grady Hamlin
of Clemson College were invited and
accepted the invitation to join the
party. -
On July 4th these young men Of
Anderson departed for the west. No
| they were going west until they
could find work for the summer.
AS everybody knows, the wheat
crop in the western states this year
was something tremendous. It be-
came known everywhere that tho
producers lacked labor to harvest tho
abundant yield. AS a result crowds
and crowds from the east went In
search of jobs in the wheat feldk
On account of the dull conditions ex.
| listing in the mills, foundries, ETC.,
| in the east the crowds in search Of
this out-door-work were larger than
they would have been under normal
conditions.
The Anderson heroes easily found
jobs and they made good, no doubt.
It was but three days of travel for
them, for on the 7th Of July the par.
ty, eight strong, arrived at Spear
vile, Ark. They entered into their
work on the morning of the eighth.
1.-The people out there harvest
their wheat crops little bit different
from our farmers" said John Prince.
"They don't shock it out there. In.
stead they use what is called head
er machine, which is pulled by sir
horses. This big machine cuts tho
straw, picks it up, ties it in bundles
and pushes it on wagon with a can
vas roller. The wagon keeps cloea.
to the machine, and no hands are
necessary to get load. The ma
chinery is a great labor saving de-
vice, and one or two men can do the
work of several. We worked with
these machines, and also in the wae>
ons. We then assisted in the thresh-i
ing. AS for pay we got 81 day
just twice the amount paid here
about. We did not make any money
on the trip-just enough to live On
and pay our way back to South Car
olina. We had q jolly experience and
the work was good exercise. We
thoroughly enjoyed the trip"
The young college men returned
with the earmarks of toll on their
hands and faces. They were consider.
ably sunburned and their hands werA
terribly roughened. AS far as health
is concerned the trip was most bene.
