though Mrs. Bush is shot six times,
she Is alive with no hopes of recov-
cry.
Her statement Is that her husband
met her coming from the spring and
demanded that she come back to
him. She refused. He then said:
well, you are dead woman" and
commenced firing, shooting her twice
after she was on the ground. The

In Augusta for some time. but recent

he Is native. and In the neighbor-
hood where his wife resided, and has
been using efforts to get her to re-
turn to him. This she refused to do.
On Saturday last he avowed his in

ence was given to what he said, as a
precaution Mrs. Bush was moved
from the place where she was stay
ing when the threat was made, to
her uncle's home. and 1t was there
that Mr.. Bush apparel at II O'Clock
this morning, and 1t seems without
warning or excuse shot her to death.

1HE DARLINGTON RACES.

Darlington, July with smiling
skies and enthusiastic crowds the first
exhibition Of the Darlington County
Fair and Driving association was held
here today. At an early hour the
people began to flock to the square
and by the time the show opened the
stage.
There were 16 events on the pro-
gramme and all but one were carried
out. The class of the horses was
most encouraging to the promoters of
tho show, and the task Of the judges
was hard one.
The day was slightly marred by
two accidents. At the race track this
afternoon Driver Edwards was
thrown from his cart and sustained
fractured ankle. Attending pyhsi-
clans say that he will soon recover. as
the injury Is not serious. In the
morning slight mishap occurred
when j. p. Mozingo's horse. driven
by lady, overturned the buggy, the
lady being thrown to the ground
She sustained no serious injuries,
however. The lady who was involved
In this accident had created so favor
able an impression on the judges
that she was given the prize despite
her accident.

In the senate on the tariff bill should
be taken by o'clock tomorrow after
noon, the senate adjourned at Z
o'clock this evening in pleasant an
ticipation Of the early conclusion of
the labors Of the special session of
congress.
Because OF the possible effect on
the tobacco schedule there was no
encrt to obtain formal assent in open
senate to the proposition to fix a time
for vote.
The day was a busy one. and the
prospect Is that tomorrow will be
equally so. It is expected that the
bill will receive practically all the Re-
publican votes, while II is understood
that probably all of the Democratic
votes. with the exception of that of
Senator McEnery. of Louisiana, will
be cast against it.
When passed the measure will be
hurried over to the house as expedi.
tiously as possible. 1t is expected the
house will be in session Friday morn.

the corporation tax provision and in
heritance taxes received much atten.
