Fire at North.

North, March 15.-Fire here early
this morning destroyed the store OF
J. F. Leysath and at o'clock seemed
to be on the very verge of pouncing
upon the store of w. S. Ulmer & Co.
1t is thought that there is no hope of
saving the Ulmer company's store,
though some of the goods have been
taken out. The Peoples bank is next
to the Ulmer company's store and it
is predicted that the bank building
will have very close call.
Mr.. Leysath's store was completely
destroyed, the stock also being con-
sumed The loss on the stock was
valued at $4,000 to $4,000, with s2,-
500 insurance.
The barber shop has also been Sc
riously damaged.
The Ulmer .company's stock is val
ued at $4,000 to $4,000, with $1,000
insurance.

FIGHT OVER FENCE.
John Garris, Aged so, Knocked in
Head by A. E. Steedley.

Walterboro, March ia dispute
over a line fence early this morning
is responsible for what may prove
fatal injury to John Garris, a highly
respectable and prominent citizen OF
Williams in the upper part of the
county.
The reports received here of the
trouble are that A. E. Steedley, Jr.
had gone out early this morning to re-
move a rail fence between his and
Mr.. Garris' place when the latter
arriving on the scene, forbade him
moving the fence.
Claims Knife Was Drawn.
Mr.. Steedley claims that Mr.. Gar
ris cursed him and threatened to cut
his throat if he persisted in moving
the fence. Mr.. Steedley told him that
he would be obliged to move it as he
needed the rails to repair his other
fencing.
He claims that Mr.. Garris then
reached in his pocket and drew his
knife, advancing on him, when he
picked up a piece Of rail and struck
him on the head two or three times
with it.
In Serious Condition.
Steedley then left, and a little
later Mr.. Garris was found in an un'
conscious condition and taken to his
home a few hundred yards away. II
was found that he had several serious
wounds in his head and it is feared
he may not recover.
Steedley went to the home of his
wife's father, Fred Padgett, and when
last heard from was still there. He is
a young man, possibly 35 years old
while the wounded man is about go
years old.
It seems that there has been
trouble for a year or more over this
line fence. The fence was on Mr.
Steedleys land, but by consent it has
remained the only fence Between
their fields.
Mr.. Garris is "a member of large
family in the county. y

Will Build Chapter House.

Orangeburg, March 13.-Members
of the American Woman's league OF
Orangeburg are making preparations
for the location of chapter house in
this city. Enough members have
been secured to obtain the appropri-
alton from E. G. Lewis, with which to
construct the chapter house. How
ever, the local members are working
hard to double their membership in
order to secure double appropria-
ton, thereby enabling them to erect
a very creditable building.

1t has not rained in Bamberg for
SO long a time that the welcome

CuOrt Proceeding

Thursday morning Of last week the
trial of civil cases was commenced.
The first case tried was that Of A..
w. knight against the Southern Rail-
way Company, suit for damages,
which resulted in favor of the de-
fendant.
The next case was Conrad Ehr-
hardt Co. VS.. Mrs. M. J. Rizer and
Geo. B. Kearse which resulted In a
verdict for defendant. This was a
suit on notes and the defendant
claimed payment.
The case of Mrs. A. Mob. Speaks,
which was suit for damages against
the Southern Railway, was tried Fri
day and resulted in a verdict for
damages of s625.0O.
No court was held Saturday.
Monday morning the case of James
H. MCGOWAN against the Southern
Railway Co. was taken up. This
was suit for damages. The trial
lasted all day and the jury returned
a verdict for $4,000 damages.
Tuesday the case of Misses Mer-
drue Francis and Stella Hair against
the Southern Railway was tried. This
was also suit for damages, arising
out of difficulty between the ticket
collector and a passenger, in which
the collector was knocked over into
the seat with these ladies where he
was struck several blows. The jury
returned verdict for the railroad,
after being out several hours.
Tuesday afternoon the case of
Jones against Jones was commenced, |,
but was withdrawn from the jury on
account of the absence of the plain
tiff. It is to be tried to-day.
The case of Griffin against Carter
was referred to the Master, and the
case of Miss Brooker against the
Southern Railway, a suit for dam
ages, is to be settled out of court.
The case of Oscar Faust, found
guilty in the mayors court for selling
whiskey, and which was appealed,
was heard by the judge. At the first
hearing he would not decide the case,
saying he hoped the mayor and the
attorneys on both sides would get
together and settle the matter. How
ever, they could not agree, and Tues
day afternoon the judge rendered a
decision affirming the mayors court:
The attorneys for Faust will appeal,
and he is now out on bond.
No court was held Wednesday af-
ternoon, and the jury was discharged
until this morning.
It is likely that court will last un-
til Fjday night, although few cases
have been tried so far.
