SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

A. R. Jeffcoat, the Orangeburg far
mer. who was shot from the roadside
recently, died on Monday night.
B. F. Henderson, a Spartanburg
merchant was murdered in his store
last Tuesday night by negro burglar.
Judge Pritchard has issued anoth-
err injunction against the paying out Of
dispensary money. The Injunction was
issued on bill filed by the Wilson Dis
tilling company Of Baltimore.
Union special Of December 81, to
Columbia State: Mr.. Sam 8. Farlar,
we'll known planter and a member
Of one Of the most prominent families
in Union county, was waylaid and shot
on Friday evening about dusk in the
eastern part Of this county as he was
returning from Lockhart, particulars
Of the affair having just become
known. The men who waylaid Mr..
Farrar were Dewitt Jeter, young
negro who had been reared rom
childhood on Mr.. Farrar's place, and
Dan Gist, who had also lived, as had
his father, for years on the Farrar
plantation. The evident attempt to kill
Mr.. Farrar was unsuccessful, the one
shot which was fired from q pistol
grains his nose, but inflicting no Sc
rious injury. 1t Is not known that Mr..
Farrar had had any difficulty with
those negroes and the presumption Is
that they must have thought that Mr..
Farrar had sold cotton at Lockhart
and was returning home with the
money. Dewitt Jeter was arrested at
his home that night and was commit
ted to jail here yesterday. Dan Gist
escaped and is still at large.
Columbia special of Tuesday to
Charlotte Observer: An important
conference Is to be held here Friday
IN the Governors office between Gov
ernor Ansel, Presidcn: w. w. Finley,
Of the Southern Railway, and the
members Of the South Carolina rail-
road commission. The conference was
arranged at the request Of President
Finley, who met Governor Ansel quite
pleasantly in Washington recently,
and who also spent several days in
Columbia last month on account Of the
merger trial in the Richland court
Division Counsel B. M. Abney, Of the
Southern, arranged the conference for
Mr.. Finley, but did not go into details
as to who Mr.. Finley wanted to talk
about. It is intimated, however, from
railroad sources that 1t is the dasire
of President Finley to open the way
to the governor to have this state en-
Joy the benefits Of the recent agree
ment reached between the authorities

owner and the merchant. But / am
unable to see why anybody In this
country should ever be concerned about
the negro, especially the negro farmer:
The white man has every advantage or
him intellectually. socially, politically
and otherwise We have no reason 10
fear his competition, now or hereafter
except in the field OF common labor.
There is Bible authority for that, and
It is confirmed by the experience OF
thousands OF years. But II the lien
law Is repealed it will not be the negro
who will be the principal surerer, but
the poor white man. And when you
put obstacles in the way Of the ad-
vance Of the poor white man, you are
sounding the death knell of the energy
and ambition that have been so tr1um-
phantly contributing to the progress
and prosperity of this country"

Representative Fowler's idea OF over
$4,000, 100000 and an increase in pro-

may he said that the great financial
concerns could under the system draw
out the gold guarantee and thus pro-
duce run. A sufficient rate of ex-
change to be charged by the treasurer
would make this impossible.
Again but one denomination Of cur.

SYSTEM comprehensive to the people
who are now almost totally ignorant as
to money issues, thus doing away
with the voluminous records and &C.
