IJnusual Find in Branchville.

Branchville, November 19.-While
digging a well on the place OF Mrs.
M. p. Murray in Branchville few
days ago, some rare geological speci-
mems were discovered. The well hao
been dug about Is or 20 feet when
a substance was found that was in
striking contrast to the remaining
soil. On examining it there. was
found to be a bed of phosphate rock
intermixed with sharks teeth, fossils
and bones of prehistoric animals.
A great deal of interest was taken
in the unexpected find. The bed was
found to be about ten feet. The de-
post is valuable fertilizing ma
terial. There have been no more ex-
cavations made to find out whether
there are any more beds in this vi
cinity or not, but it is supposed that
there are more, judging from the
richness and the great depth OF this
one.

THOMPSON Asks for New Trial.

Spartanburg, November 19.-
On the grounds that the foreman OF
the jury that convicted Col. Aaron
Thompson, a wealthy citizen of this
county, on the charge of selling IL
uuor, spent the night in private
room with a prosecuting witness al
ter the jury had been drawn and
number of witnesses examined, Will
son & Osborn and William MCGOWAN,
attorneys for the defendant, will ask
for new trial.
J Col. Thompson is wealthy bache-
lor and lives in fine home at 1nman,
where he is famous for entertaining
his friends. Sometime ago he was
suspected of having sold liquor and
special constables made out a case
against him. He was given pre-
liminary hearing before a magistrate
and bound over to the court of gen.
eral sessions. The trial of the case
occupied two days and the jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty. His at
torneys gave notice of an appeal ano
sentence was suspended.
The attorneys for the defendant
claim that the foreman of the jury
spent the night with one of the prose
cutting witnesses, after the jury had
been drawn and a number OF witness
ess examined. This they claim Is
sufficient grounds for new trial.

been kept at work on Lindsay's farm,
near Campobello, and hired out to
work on the farms Of other men in
the community, and that he has nev-
er received any compensation for his
services.

nine months he has been living with
Peter Lindsay, and while living with
Lindsay he was persuaded to enter
into a marriage contract with Lind

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Verdict of Jury in Killing of A. G'
Kirkendan by Elmore Wright.

Spartanburg, November 19.-Guil-
ty of manslaughter was the verdict
of the jury in the case of Gilmore
Wright charged with murder for the
killing of A. G.. Kirkendall at
Moore's on the 18th of October.
This case took up part of Wednes.
day and all of to-day in the court OF
general sessions. C. P. Sims. counsei
for the defendant, spoke for nearly
two hours and Solicitor Sease, IN
reply, spoke for over an hour. The
Jury went to the room at $50 o'clock
and reached verdict at about 1O:30
tonight.
Judge Klugh, the presiding judge,
was summoned from the Argyle, the
court officials were got together, the
prisoner brought into the court room
and the verdict published about
1880 tonight. C. P. Sims gave no
tice of a motion for new trial.
The case, against Elmore Wright
for the killing of A. G. Kirkendall
was tried in the special term OF court
last week, Judge O. L. Schumpert OF
Newberry presiding. The jury fail
ed to agree, after being out over 10
hours, and Judge Schumpert ordered
a mistrial.
According to the evidence brought
ont the killing of Kirkendall was one
of the most tragic that has ever nap
pened in the county. 1t appears tnat
Wright and Kirkendall were running
a distillery and selling illicit whiskey:
The business began to be talked
about so much that Wright reared
the officers would catch them and ne
would be punished, so he turned
States evidence and had the business
reported to the officers. This made
Kirkendall mad and it is said that ne
threatened Wright's life and even
went so far as to fire upon him from
the roadside some days before the
killing took place.

The Successful Man.

The successful man is the man who
has made happy home for his wife
and children. No matter what ne
has not done in the way of achieving
wealth and honor, if he has done
that he is a success. If he hasn't
done that, and it is his own fault,
though he be the highest in the land,
he is a most pitiable failure. How
many men in mad pursuit OF gold,
which characterizes the age, realize
that there is no fortune which can
be left to their families as great as
the memory of a happy home.
