s'Booze" Handlers Fined.

Aiken, Oct. 27.-Yesterday in the
police court a half pint Of cheap
booze, worth a quarter, caused fine
of SIS each to be placed on four
young negroes. A white man went
to a negro named Lucius Johnson,
and Lucius went to Harry McClain,
and Harry went to Mack Green, and
Mack went respectively to a negro
named Grant, who furnished the
goods, which again went round the
circuitous route and reached the pur-
chaser, and by that time Constable
Samuels grabbed the white man, who
said he got the stuff from Johnson,
and Johnson said he got it from NC
Claim, and McClain alleges that he
cot it from Green, and Green vowed
that he got it from Grant, so the
mayor put thirty days or $40 on each
of them for violating the dispensary
law.

There is an interesting political
situation in Lexington county. The
nominee of the primary for county
superintendent of education died and
the county Democratic executive COM
mittee did not order primary to
nominate another candidate but Sc
lected as the nominee of the party
the candidate who was next highest
to the successful man in the regular
primary. This action of the commit
tee caused great deal of dissatisfac-
ton in the county, and State Chair
man Jones refused to put his name
on the election tickets, claiming that
there was no nominee of the Demo-
cratic party. There will he several
candidates for the position in the
general election. We might add that
Chairman Jones was exactly right in
his ruling.

SENSATION IN SUMMERVILLE.
Mr.. Taylor Attacks Mr.. DeHon With
HorseWhip.

A dispatch from Summerville tells
of sensational occurrence In which
Mr.. w. H. DeHon was attacked by
Mr.. A. w. Taylor with horsewhip
on last Saturday about midday. Mr..
Taylor was accompanied by two OF
his sons, Robert and Clark, both OF
whom were armed with double-bar-
relied shotguns and both Of whom,
it is alleged, stood by and are said
to have warned bystanders not to in
terfere while their father attempted
to horsewhip Mr.. DeHon.
Statements made by some Of the
participants in the affair and by look
ers-on differ materially as to the re-
suit of the attempt, Mr.. Taylor claim
ing, it is said, to have used his whip;
while it is claimed on the other hand
that the attempt was practically un-
successful.
Be that as it may, there seems to
be no doubt that early in the as
sault Mr.. DeHon seized the whip, and
crinched with his assailant, retaining
his hold on the whip until Mr.. Tay-
lor and himself were separated by a
gentleman, who early arrived on the
scene.
The affair is said to be the out
come of a recent trial, in which Mr..
D Hon was charged with libel and
which was non-suited in the Court
at the county seat Of Dorchester on
Friday last, Judge Robert Aldrich
presiding.

attorney, ". w. Dickson, who was
appointed by the Court, appealed to
the Supreme Court on the ground
that the indictment was changed ana

the grand jury without being sworn
on the changed indictment. The ex-
ception was overruled and Means was
at the last Court resentenced oy

tence. which was signed by a number
of people, but the petition was refus-

the Jail, but little excitement, except
the negroes who seemed to be some
what wrought up.

Greenvillle, Oct. 27.-Eugene Fos-
ter, a 16-year-old colored boy was
committed to Jail here tonight for
numbering his father, Miles Foster, a
respected negro farmer of Can't
Township. According to the evidence
adduced at the inquest the OLD man
had told the boy to haul some wood;
the boy refused and rushing into the
house secured a double-barren shot
gun loaded with No. 8 shot. The ne

on the ground nearby and prepared
to defend himself against the boys
onslaught. Fosters daughter got be-
tween her brother and father and
was endeavoring to hold the old man
when the boy fired the gun, the shot
scattering over the body of his faith
er, but the greater part Of the charge
entered the old mans left wrist, sew
ering the arteries and causing him to
bleed to death in about four or five
hours.

Groom Shot to Death.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 23.-On her
bridal tour which had begun scarcely
an hour before, and seated in rail-
road coach almost between her hus-
band and a former suttor for her
hand, Mrs. Fred Van Ingen last night
saw the flash of the suitor's revolver,
felt the sudden grip of her husbands
hand, as the bullet killed him, and
then turned and fought for her life.
When the girl appeared about to be-
come the victim of the second bullet
from the revolver, her uncle, man
with gray hair, but strong and cool
under the excitement, rushed up and
thrust his thumb beneath the ham,
mer of the revolver, tanning the
mechanism and rendered the weapon
harmless.
This was the story which the other
passengers on the Texas & Pacific
Cannon Ball" told when they reach
ed this city to-day, but the principal
actors in the tragedy, most of whom
are connected with Louisiana's lead
ing families, have so far refused to
discuss the matter.
