Angry Citizens Slay Negro.

Danville, Va, Oct. S.-Charged
with having committed numerous
robberies, which for the past ten days
have terrorized the farmers residing
in the neighborhood around Pelham
and Rufin, N. c., ten miles south of

death in a barn late this afternoon.
The killing followed an all day
search in a drizzling rain, partici-
pated in by at least fifty angry citi-
zens.
The dead negro has been in this
vicinity for about a week and it has
generally been conceded that he was
the party who has been entering nu-
merous dwelling houses. -Four
houses at Ruffln were robbed last

For Two Federal Districts.

Washington, Oct. Tt was learn
ed here to-day from an authority be-
lieved to be reliable that when Con-
gress meets in December the mem
bers of the, South Carolina delega-
ton will get together and pass Dill
dividing the State into two Federal
districts, as indicated in bills already
introduced and considered by con-
gress. It is proposed to pass a meas
ure that will make an eastern and
western division for the tranactlon
of Federal litigation.
If such a.. bill passes and there is
little doubt that such will be the
case, if the South Carolina Congress-
men unite, an additional Federal
Judge and Court officials will have to
be appointed.
A law of this kind came near be-
ing enacted a few years ago and was
killed because all of the parties at
interest could not reach a satisfactory
adjustment.
Already the names of a number OF
LAWYERS from the Piedmont section.
are being discussed in connection
with the matter.

So far no mail has been brought up.
Some of our town folks want their
Sunday papers brought to them on

and Held Inquest Over Body.
Protests Innocence.

Monck's Corner, Oct. 11.-Charged
with the murder of the man over
whose body he acted as coroner at
the inquest which was held follow
ing a brutal killing, Dallas V. earn,

MARRIED AND PARTED.
Young Couple Get Married as Joke.
Judge Unties Knot.

Quite a sensation for a number of
people was sprung at Indian Fields
campground Sunday afternoon in the
marriage of two we'll known young
people, and the after effects of the
same.
1t seems that Sunday afternoon on
the campgrounds Miss Ida Fairey, of
near Branchville, and Mr.. William
Shuler, Of Bowman, were twitting
each other about getting married.
They went so far as to try and back
each other down, claiming it to be a
joke. Then they went to the preach
er's tent wher Rev. J. w. Arial was
found, and in a few moments the
young people were made man and
wife.
After the blushing groom had paid
the minister the usual fee for such
services the gravity of his predica-
ment dawned upon him. The groom
complained at once that he thought it
was only a joke; that he could not
support a wife, and made other ex-
cuses for wanting to be out Of the
contract. He went to the preacher
and wanted the preacher to undo the
work, but was informed that was i'm
possible. Thereupon the new-made
bride was left upon her own account
on the grounds, while the groom pro-
ceeded to look for a lawyer and try
to get unmarried. The bride came
on home, while the groom went to
his home.
Parties interested in the affair ap-
peared before Judge Moss at Orange
burg Tuesday and secured the sign
ing of an order annulling the mar
riage, on the grounds that both of the
parties were willing for it to be an
nulled and that they were trying to
back each other out Of an agreement.
Thus a predicame1t is settled that
threatened very seriously for short
while.-Branchville Journal.

Hughes Assumes Seat on Bench.

Washington, Oct. 10.-After the
oath of Office as associate justice was
administered to-day to Charles E.
Hughes, of New York, the supreme
court of the United States adjourned
until tomorrow out of respect to the
memory of the late chief justice, Mel
vile w. Fuller. The court was In
session eight minutes.
Every available seat in the little
court room was occupied by persons
especially interested in the events OF
the opening day. The mother, the
wife and the daughter OF the new
Justice were the first of the relatives
of the court to arrive. Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham and Secretary Nagel
represented the cabinet.
Presiding Justice Harlan announced
as soon as the court had taken It's
place that the president had ap-
pointed Mr.. Hughes to the bench, that
the senate had confirmed the nomi-
nation and that Mr.. Hughes was
present. He directed Clerk Mckin-
ney, by whom Mr.. Hughes was seated
to read the latter's commission.
"The court extends cordial wei
come" said Justice Harlan, as the
clerk finished reading.
He then directed the new member
TO take the oath of office, the oath OF
allegiance having already been ad-
ministered in the robing room few
minutes before.
Mr.. Hughes read the oath in an i'm
pressive manner and at its conclusion
repeated after the clerk the words:
$50 help me Cod" and Marshal
Wright escorted the new member to
his seat.
These formalities over, Justice Har-
Ian proceeded to announce the death
of the chief justice.

The Orangeburg chamber of COM
merce has arranged for corn ex-

Several of the hotel keepers Of Co.
lumbia were fined in the magistrate's IS
court in that city last week for not
having fire escapes to their hotels.
The law requiring fire escapes went
into effect on October 1st, and the
cases against the hotel keepers were
made by Insurance Commissioner
McMaster.
Mr.. J. P. Matheny, formerly of
Bamberg, but who has been living in
Orangeburg for several years past,
has been elected commercial secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce of
that city, at a salary of $1,000 a
year. Orangeburg is a live town,
and their chamber of commerce is
live body, and they have shown the
proper spirit by electing live and
experienced man as secretary. That
he will do good work for the city on
the Edisto is assured.
An election contest in the recent
primary is to be heard by the State
Supreme court. In the race for su-
pervisor over in Calhoun county, T. j.
Mclaughlin entered a protest before
the county Democratic executive COM
mittee against that body awarding
the nomination to J. L. Zeigler be-
cause the latter had not filed his ex-
pense account at the proper time, as
required by law. The county COM
mittee dismissed the protest, and
their action was sustained by. the
State committee. Now Mclaughlin
has appealed to the Supreme Court,
and the case will be heard by the
court at an early date.

TO BUILD PLANT.
Chemical Company to In
wade Southern Field.

New York, Oct 7.-Three new fer
tilizer plants will be constructed by
the American Chemical company dur
ing the next year in the very heart of
the territory covered by the Virginia.
Carolina Chemical company. One
viii be at Savannah, Ca, where the
company has purchased 70 acres of
land, and should be completed early
in 1911, as the contracts have al
ready been let.
The second plant will be at Will
mington, N. c., and the third at Co
lumbia. Work on the latter two will
be begun as soon as possible and all
three should be in operation by next
summer.
Altogether the expenditures for
new construction will total something
like s1,O00,O00 and, as the American
Chemical company has working
capital approximately $1S,500,000 as
shown by it's recent annual state
ment, it is not likely that the con-
struction work contemplated will call
for new financing.
While the American has always
been a factor in the Southern field
the move of building three new plants
simultaneously can not be construed
otherwise than an aggressive inva-.
sion Of the preserves of the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company.
An interest closely connected with
the Virginia-Carolina company stated
that the Southern field is large
enough for both, but generally In,
fertilizer circles the outlook for a.
trade war is considered excellent.

Bolton Man Shot.

Belton, Oct. 10.-Last night about
9 o'clock w. Riley Mason was shot
by an unknown party as he was re-
turning home from town. Mason
was a frame hand in the Belton mill.
He lived on the mill grounds and
was returning home from up town.
Just as he was nearing the mill
grounds he was shot. When the
shot was fired Mr.. Chas. Mccoy, who
lived only about 100 yards from
where the shot was fired rushed out
of his house. He heard man groan-
ing, but it being dark and he not
knowing the cause, stopped and call
ed out. Mason recognized his voice
and called to him. Mccoy then
rushed up and with the aid of an
other took the wounded man to his
(McCoy's) house.
DR.. Carpenter was soon on hand
and dressed the wound. When ask
ed whether or not he knew the man
who fired the shot, Mason said:
"No, it was done so quick" Mason
had a pistol lying near him and
when Mccoy reached him he was try
ing to reload. He said: 1T has snap
ped all around" When found or
rather picked up by Mccoy the pistol
had no cylinder. There is a good deal
of mystery about the affair and there
are various suppositions as to how
the thing occurred.
The shot was fired at close range,
powder burns being found on the
shirt of the wounded man. The
ball entered the right chest just
below the nipple and lodged just un-
der the skin, a little to the right OF
the back bone.
1t is hard to tell how serious the
wound may be but it is thought that
it glanced and did not go straight
on it's course. The man will likely
get we'll.
Mason is about "a years old, is
married and has a wife and two
small children. He is the son OF w.
H. Mason, who also lives at the mill.

SURPRISE IN CARLISLE CASE.
Testified That Banker Gave Securt.
ties to Cover Indebtedness.

Greenville, Oct. 11.-Somewhat
unusual developments came up this
afternoon in the United States Dis.
trict Court during the hearing OF the,
case against Milton A. Carlisle, of
Newberry, charged with misappfica-
ton Of the funds of the National
Bank, of that place, of which he was
president.
The attorneys for the defense
brought out during the examination
of B. C. Matthews, present president
of the bank that Mr.. Carlisle had
made an assignment Of a number OF
insurance policies, together with corr
poration stock and over thousand
dollars in cash as payment. of his in-s
debtedness to the bank shortly after
the time of his succession by Me-,
Matthews.
The conditions of the assignment
were that the defendant should re-
ceive receipt in full for his personal.
indebtedness, and his notes marked
paid. It was brought out in the tes-
timony that the insurance policies;
had been made payable to the bank
and treated by it as it's own property,
being carried on the books as a. por--.
ton of the assets, but that Mr.. Car
Isle had not been sent anything more
than an acknowledgment Of the re-
ceipt of the same, though the presi-s
dent had been authorized to make
the settlement.
From the reading of the indict-
ment, it appears that Mr.. Carlisle Is
charged with misapplying the funds
of the bank to his personal account,
and to the account Of the Cold Point
Granite Company, an insolvent con-
Germ of which he was president and
treasurer, as well as to a few ind1-
vidual accounts, overdraWing ana
making good the amounts with unse-
cured notes, according to the charges.
This is alleged to have gone on dur
ing the years 1907 and 1908.
