Shot to Death in Church.

Alexandria, La, Aug. 8.-While
attending services at Hopewell
Church, ten miles north of this city,
last night, Joe Stilley, farmer, was
shot dead in his seat, his wife was
dangerously wounded and his moth
er slightly wounded. One load of
buckshot, fired through window of
the church by an unknown party, did
the work. Stilley had been tried in
the district court several times on
charges of hog and cattle stealing in
the Hopewell neighborhood and the
shooting is believed to be the direct
result of this trouble.
Stilley was sitting between his
wife and mother, with his small baby
in the latter's arms. AS Stilley arose,
at the conclusion of the services, a
shot rang out and he fell dead with
IL buckshot in his right side. Sev-
eral shots pierced the left side Of his
wife's neck and she was removed to a
sanitarium here dangerously wound
ed. Several shots struck the mother
of Stilley in the forehead producing
painful flesh wounds.
No trace of the assassin has been
found.

His Fortunes Badly Mixed.

Orangeburg, Aug. 11.-A negro or
Orangeburg county, in order to come
into possession of valuable tract OF
land,. must plead guilty to either
adultery or bigamy, laying himself
liable to a big fine or term in the
penitentiary. Such case is now in
litigation in Orangeburg county and
the outcome is being watched with
interest.
The negro was married in 1871.
Shortly after this marriage the con-
tracing parties concluded that they
could not live together and agreed to
separate. The man was married again
as was also the woman. The husband
and wife of the parties died and they
again took unto themselves hus-
band and wife. The parties were
married three times. There were
many children. The wife came into
possession of a valuable tract OF
land, and a short time ago she died.
Her husband of 1871 now lays
claim to the land. Whether he was
married to the woman is the ques-
ton now raised. If he was married
he is guilty of bigamy, and if he was
not married he is guilty of adultery.
If the negro answers not guilty to
the charges of bigamy or adultery he
loses claim to the property and it
goes to the heirs of the woman.

WON BY A DRUM.
The Battle Of Arcola Romantic Epi-
sode of French History.

There stands in the French town
of Cadenet, his native place, a mon
ument to the memory Of 'The Lit
tie Drummer of Arcola," Andre Es-
tienne, the hero of one of the most
romantic episodes in French history.
It was an episode that illustrated the
extraordinary military value, so Of
ten attested by the worlds greatest
generals, of what Othello called the
spirit stirring drum" 1t may be
said, curiously enough, that Napo-
leon Bonaparte's great career was
built upon a drum, for the battle of
Arcola was won by the beating of
Estienne's drum, and the Corsican
himself always dated his confidence
in his own fortune from bis battle,
won in 1895. The circumstances
were these:
Bonaparte, hemmed, in with a
small army at Verona, between two
greatly superior forces, sailed out at
night, made forced march, and
with $4,000 men fell upon the rear
of $4,000 Austrians. The battle last
ed 72 hours. On the second day of
the fighting the Austrians obtained
such position that they completely
and murderously swept the bridge
of Arcola, which the French had
gained and which they must hold if
they expected to- win the battle.
1t was an unlocked for movement.
No officer was near, but Andre Es-
tienne, the little drummer. was there.
He went to his sergeant and told him
that he should cross the bridge with
his drum and beat it on the other
side.
"But," protested the sergeant,
"before you place one foot upon the
bridge you will be killed. No man
on earth could live on that, BRIDGE
However, can you swim?"
81 can," said the drummer.
tThen swim across with your
drum"
Impossible" returned Estienne.
Should the drum become water
soaked I could not beat it on the
other side."
But the sergeant was equal to this
difficulty. Being himself fine swim
mer, he plunged into the water, bade
Andre mount upon his shoulders and
hold his drum clear of the water. In
this way the two crossed the river,
Andre beating his drum Justify all
the way. Once on the other side, he
pounded it in a way to well nigh
wake the dead. The Austrians who
were massed near were nearly all
raw recruits. Hearing what they
took to be the drums of an advanc-
ing force of French and remembering
the terrible French onslaught Of the
day before, they fled. This left the
bridge clear, and the French began
to pour across. Andre was Joined
by other drummers.. The Austrian
flight became rout. The French
swept on, with Andre Estienne, still
drumming, at their head. Soon the
whole Austrian force was retreating,
utterly beaten.
Years later Estienne's heroic act
was celebrated by being represented
in stone on the front of the Panthe-
on at Paris. The funeral of the lit
tie drummer OF Arcola was attended
by large concourse of French Of
fcers and soldiers.

SWORN AFFIDAVITS
ON BLEASE'S COURSE
Statements From Miss Rogers, Ticket Agent, and
J. M. Alexander That Bolton Times Account
of Incident in Railway Station is Accurate


inst. received. In reply beg to state
that on my way home on Saturday,
July 2S, walked up to the ticket Of
flee window at Belton, laid down two
mileage book covers, with some strips
left, but not enough to bring me
through to Columbia. I did not know
at what time either train arrived at
Belton, but was of the opinion that
made close connection. When l
presented the mileage books 1 asked
the young lady for a ticket to Co.
lumbia. She replied, I have not time
to wait on you now.' I said, We'll,
1 want to go to Columbia and I want
a ticket She said, 4 have pot got
time to compute this mileage and
make the calculations I smiled and
said, Very we'll, I will tell you who
1 am and you will please remember.
I am Cole L. Blease.' Q did not say
governor of South Carolina or men
ton the fact that I was governor.)
I told her who I was because it was
my intention to get on the train
without ticket, present the mileage
and state why 1 did not have a tick
ct, and if the conductor declined to
accept the mileage, I was going to
sue the railroad for damages, and 1
wanted the young lady as a witness,
to remember that I had applied to
her for ticket, presenting the mile
age and that she had refused 1t.
When I told her who I was, I said, 1
will report this matter to your su-
perintendent.' She then took my
mileage, quickly, made the calcula-
ton, told me that there was 70 cents
due, which I paid very promptly.
She handed me back the ticket with
the two vacant: slips and said, Thank
you,' I said, I am very much obliged
to you; you may keep the two old
covers, as you may wish to send
them in She said, No, you might
need them to show the conductor
when he asks for your ticket I re-
piled, All right and picked them up
and walked away. I,
81 showed no discourtesy whatever
to the young lady; only was exercis-
ing my right as passenger on the
road and told her who was, as l
have stated. for the purpose I have
stated: I showed no discourtesy, but
treated her the same that I would
have if every relative of hers in the
world had been present. There were
two young men sitting behind her in
the office at the time and an old Con-
federate veteran standing by me, with
badge on. The conversation did not
even attract their attention, which
shows that there was nothing what
ever about the matter to have caused
any one to write lie about, such as
has been written by the dirty scurril-
Gus little editor of the. Belton Times.
I do not know who he is, have never
seen him, but from this article I am
satisfied that he is only another pimp
of the newspaper combination that is
continuously lying about me.
''I thank you for your letter and
for this opportunity of explaining the
matter. Very respectfully, !,
"COLE. L. BLEASE.

a year older, will be taken to the home
of a Mr.. and Mrs. Fish, on Division

The mother of the children, who had
been deserted by her husband, lives at

Many persons called to see them.
One was Mrs. Fannie Kammera. She
said she had come all the way from
Delawanna and wanted Robbie. By
that time he was pretty well tuckered
out and didn't have much to say. He
didn't even cry. Neither did his mother.
She said she was glad to be free now.
so that she could make some money.
Mrs. Kammera said she would adopt
Robbie legally. She Rugged him hard
and kissed him. and deplored the fact
| that she had not enough time to buy
him a suit before she took him home.
Inc cHllu HotheI gave him d ilI.io
kiss, and then Mrs. .Kammera and the
young man mex door, Lawrence Nc
| Carthy, went to the station, and Law
renee sighed as he say them off on the
train.
Robbie fell asleep on the train. He
was glad it seemed settled.
Up in the 'Seventy-seventh street tene-
ment Mrs. Stewart said she would be
glad when Mr.. and Mrs. Fish took
Charlie.
