KILLING IN BARNWELL.
w. II. Smith Shot by His Son While
Beating His Wife.

Quite an unfortunate killing oc-
Cured on Mr.. Luna Stills place about
five miles from Barnwell this week.
The principals in the affair were Mr.:
w. H. Smith and his sixteen year old
son. The details as near as we have
been able to get them are as follows.
On Saturday afternoon of last week
Mr.. Smith was in Barnwell; before
going home he purchased bottle of
whiskey. On Sunday morning while
intoxicated he commenced to beat
his wife, his son interfered to prevent
the NAL treatment of his mother:
Smith then turned from his wife and
made for the boy with an open knife,
the boy backed off until he was
cornered, he then told his father he
would kill him if he attacked him
with the knife. Smith paid no atten-
ton to the threats and when the boy
saw that he was about to be cut by
his drunken father he fired at him,
inficting a mortal wound. Smith
fingered until Tuesday afternoon
when he died. Young Smith came in
on Wednesday morning and gave
himself up to the sheriff and is now
in Jail.
The elder Smith had somewhat Of a
bad reputation, and has been called
to account before for beating his
.wife.-Barnwell Sentinel.

Militia to Guard Court.

COLUMBIA, April 1.-THE two ne
gro boys, Ned and Brack Toland,
brothers, will be tried next week at a
special term of court at Lexington
for the atrocious murder Of the aged
Mrs. Ellison. As the boys have con-
fessed to the horrible deed, the trial
at best will be a matter Of form, but
it isintimated that in order to prevent
q lynching the militia may be sent to
Lexington to preserve order and the
spectacle may be presented of a court
transacting business under guard of
the armed militia. The fact that an
extra term was called to try this case
was at best concession to the mob
spirit, but if the court is held under
military protection it will be further
evidence of this concession and also a
confession that the law, as law, is
powerless.
The two negro boys stand no chance
whatever for their lives; their con-
viction and execution is certain if the
law is permitted to take it's course in
q dignifed and orderly fashion, and
the holding Of court under armed
guard is not a course which appeals
to many citizens.

Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, April 13.-Some time
Saturday night the cool wave struck
our town. Don't think there was
any frost Sunday morning, but did
not miss it far.
Sunday morning between four and
five o'clock the fire alarm was sound
ed in our little town.
Messrs. HERS Bros. lost their store
and contents completely; nothing was
saved. The building was wrapped in
flameswhen found out. Byhard work
other buildings were saved from
catching on fire. .Messrs. HERS Bros.
had five hundred dollars insurance on
the building and twelve hundred and
fifty dollars on their stock Of goods.
They are young men, just started IN
business less than a year ago, having
saved their earnings for years, and
some help from their father. The in
surance was not enough to cover their
loss, as they had about a three thous.
sand dollars stock. They have the
entire sympathy of most of, if not all
of community. The fire was thought
by all to be the work of a party who
thought that the owners OF the
premises left money in the store at
night, as they had not procured their
iron safe. They had given an order
for one, but the company had not
sent it to them.
Chief j. w. Priester has a fine
daughter. He is all smiles now.

SCHEME A FAILURE.
Happyvllle Colony in Aiken Has Come
to Grief.

The colony of Hungarian or Rus
sian Jews settled upon the tract OF
poor land near Montmorenci several
years ago, and misnamed the Happy
vile Colony, has come to grief, which
appeared inevitable to every one who
knew the conditions.
A tract of 1900 acres Of as poor
land as Aiken county contains was
bought for the high price Of a few
dollars per acre, and sold at a nice
advance to European Jews, who be-
came stockholders in the so-called
company. These Jews had no ex-
perience in agriculture in Europe,
and of course still less understood any
thing about agricultural methods in
South Carolina. They were put on
land which is so poor that they could
not really make a living off it. The
resultis is reported to be a final COL
lapse Of the whole scheme.
We learn that the land is mort
gagged to Messrs. M. M. and F. w.
Coward for SIS, 1000, and that the Jew
ish Agricultural Aid Society of New
York has a second mortgage on the
land, and one on 2mules. The Bank
of Aiken has a mortgage of $500 on
S horses, and Mr.. J. T. Shuler mort
gage on sundry other stock and i'm
plements.
The colonists have been struggling
for some time, but now the end OF
their struggle seems to have come.

Negress Adopted White Child.

WASHINGTON, April Edith
Brown, a beautiful girl Of eleven
years, was taken from the home OF.
Mrs. Brown, colored, several weeks
apo by officers of the board Of chill;
dren's guardians, and since that time
has been in one of the homes MAIN
tained by the board.
It is claimed by the board Of guar.
dams that the child was never legally
adopted by the colored family, and
that for this reason they have 8 right:
to put her in a house for white chll-
.dren.
The Brown woman in the juvenile
court this morning said that several
wears ago she expressed q desire to-
adopt little girl. Learning Of this,
q prominent New York physician,
whose name she could notrecall, came
to Washington to see her.
The doctor told her that he knew OF
a three-months-oh white baby girl,
the daughter of a well-known New
York woman, that the colored wo-
man could adopt.
A few days later the girl was
brought to Washington by the physl-
clan.
The physician never revealed the
chifd's name or the identity OF her
parents. The agreement was that.
the Brown woman would ask no ques-
tions. The baby never knew her real
mother, and the colored woman gave
her the name of Edith Brown. She Is
a pretty child, with q mass OF rich
black hair, dark eyes and a beauhfui
complexion.
