Aiken County Vandals.

Batesburg, April 21.-A few nights
ago the closing exercises of Miss Mary
Corley's school took place in Aiken
county. Everything was passing of
in a most pleasant manner, when 1t
was announced that some ones bug
gy harness had been cut into rib
bons. Upon investigation it was
found that % sets had been cut in
like manner.
When it was discovered that van
dals had been at work pandemoni-
um reigned. Men swore and women
tainted. It was at first hard mat
ter to place the blame; but it leaked
out that there were three or four
men present whose harness were not
harmed, and in one Of the buggies it
Is said that there were 13 quarts OF
whiskey, but no buyers. 1t was
thought the parties became angered
at finding no buyers and wreaked
vengeance by cutting up the harness.
Acting on information and belief,
Rural Policeman Samuels, Of Aiken
county, sWore out warrants for the
following: w. D. McCarty, of this
place; Clifton Enloe, near this place;
Spradley, of Augusta, and young
man by the name of Anderson. Some
of the men have been apprehended
and some have not so far, but it is
Just a matter of time before they all
will be arrested and carried before
the officers to answer the charge.

MANS LEG IS MASHED.
L. L. Delaney, of Atlanta, is Serious
Iy Injured in Columbia Garage.

A big touring car, rushing back
wards, struck L. L. Delaney Of At
lanta, a travelling salesman, as he was
standing in the Roddey garage yes
terday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock.
The left rear spring of the automo-
bile crushed Mr. DeLaney's thigh in-
to desk against which he was lean
ing, cutting a deep cash, which bled
profusely. Last night Mr.. DeLaney's
condition was regarded as serious by
DR.. L. A. Griffith, the physician who
attended him. -
The accident was the height of the
unexpected. Mr.. Delaney, who rep
resents the Atlas Oil company of At
lanta, had just walked into the gar
age, and was talking to B. J. Hem
MES, an employe, who was seated at
the desk near the show window in
the garage.
Wrecked Desk.
The touring car was standing
about 20 feet from the desk. Walter
Alexander, a negro, cranked the car.
and, without warning, 1t plunged
backward, striking Mr.. Delaney and
wrecking the desk at which Mr..
Hennies was seated. Mr.. Delaney
had his back turned to the wild au-s
tomobile. Mr.. Hennies jumped away
from the desk just in time. An en1-
ploye of the garage threw In the low
gear and the car rushed forward.
Then he managed to throw on the
brake and the car came to a stand
still near the spot where it had stood
before it went on the rampage.
Blood Flowed Freely.
It was several minutes before q
physician could be found to attend
Mr.. Delaney. DR.. R. L. Moore and
DIR. L. A. Griffith took the injured
man in charge, and after considerable
difficulty managed to staunch the
blood which was flowing from the
wound. The main artery in the
right thigh was severed. Mr.. De-
Laney was taken to the Columbia
hospital, where his wound was dress
ed by DR.. Griffith. His family in
Atlanta have been notified Of the ac-
| cident, as his condition is considered
| very serious.
Gears Got Mixed.
/ J. B. Roddey, the proprietor OF the
Roddey garage, said last night that
he was at less to account for the
| reverse gear, instead Of the neutral
being on in the automobile which in-.
jured Mr.. Delaney. The negro, Wall
ter Alexander, who cranked the car.
intending to drive. 1t out into Main
street, according to Mr.. Roddey. says
that he did not throw in the reverse
| gear. It Is considered remarkable
from an automobile standpoint that
the negro was able to crank the car
with the reverse gear in. Mr.. Roddey
believes that some irresponsible per-
son in the garage during the day tam.
pered with the gear lever.
The accident created a sensation
on Main street. It happened in plain
view of the sidewalk, and passersby
| thronged the garage and crowded
about the windows. Among the first
to lend the injured man aid were j..
lB. Dunaway and James Alton OF
Greenville. A policeman had to be-
called to clear the garage OF the
crowd and to keep the sidewalk OPEN

SHOOTING AT ORANGEBURG
w. r. SABIN SERIOUSLY WOUND
ED BY r. CHESTNUT.
Domestic Trouble RumOred-Sabin
Carried to Columbia for
Treatment.

Orangeburg, April 25.-A most
deplorable occurrence, in which two
prominent business men Of this city
were the principals was enacted in
the early business hours this morn
ing on Sellers avenue.
At about 8 o'clock, according to
the most reliable information OBJ
tainable, Mr.. Robert Chestnut, a con-
tractor of this city, walked into the
Office of the Dixie Lumber Company,
where. was seated Mr.. w. r. Sabin,
the manager, and after applying a
vile epithet to Sabin pulled a pistol
and fired two shots at him, neither
Of which took effect. About this
time a Mr. Cunningham, an en-
ployee of the lumber company, and
the only eyewitness to the affray,
except the participants, attracted
by the reports Of the weapon, enter
ed the Office and demonstrated with
Chestnut, who was being pleaded
with by Sabin to desist in further
attack and to explain the cause of his
action, as he, Sabin, was not aware
of anything he had done to give Of
fence, when Chestnut cursed Cum
ningham and threatened to shoot
him, but at the same time placing
the pistol in his coat pocket.
Talk was rapid between the three
men, however, and Chestnut not hav-
ing cooled off, again drew the pistol
when Sabin closed in upon him and
was shot in the left side, just below
the heart, and fell to the floor. After
shooting Sabin, Chestnut is said to
have retreatsd very rapidly, in run,
to his home, which is not far away,
where he remained only a short
time, then coming out and surren-
dering to the sheriff. The city police
had been notified by phone of the
difficulty, and were in search Of
Chestnut, but failed to reach him be-
fore the surrender to Sheriff Salley.
Mr.. Sabin was at once attended by
DR.. L. c. Shecut, but it was impossi-
BILE to determine how serious the
wound was, an ugly one, and it was
hastily decided to take him to Co
lumbia on the 10 o'clock train for
treatment. Chestnut was placed in
jail.
Several rumors were afloat as to
the cause of the shooting, but the one
perhaps which best explains Chest
nuts actions is of a domestic charac-
ter. It is said that he found this
morning at his home a letter signed
by Sabin and incrim1nating in terms,
which so infuriated him, that he lost
all control of himself and rested not
until he had made the attempt to
avenge the wrong he thinks had been
done himself and family. It is fur
ther stated, however, that the lady
in the case denies the slightest init
macy with Sabin, asserting that she
barely knows him and pronounces
the letter a forgery.
w. R. Sabin has been resident
of this city for about two years. He
is about 80 years of age and unmar-
ried. He has made many friends
since he has resided here and is well
thought of.
R. Chestnut is a contractor, and
has been resident here off and on
for several years.

BOND MATTER WAS NOT CONSIDERED
LAST SATURDAY
WAS NOT A LEGAL ONE
A Special Meeting Has Been Called for the
i4th atwhichthe Bonding Proposition
Will Come Up.

The meeting OF the county board of
supervisors at the court house last week
turned out TO be no meeting at all.
When the members of the board had
settled in their seats ready to listen to
Clerk Wallis roll call. Prosecuting At
torney MoDonough took the floor and
advised them that in his opinion the
meeting was not legal one and he adj
vised them against transacting any
business
The reason tor the illegality was the
fact that the hour to which the board
as well as the day and date,
was not stated in the records of tho
last meeting and no considered that
fact sufficient TO cloud any bond
issue that might be voted by the people
under any election called last Saturday.
The supervisors were clearly disap
pointed but they thought best that no
cloud should be placed upon the pro
ceedings and adjourned the meeting
date.
During the week number of the
supervisors petitioned the clerk to call
a special meeting for March Ia. A
sufficient number OF signatures appear
ing upon the petition. Mr. Wall has is
sued notices that the meeting will be
held on that date.
1t is quite probable that on March IA
the question of the calling of special
election will be settled.

Langford and Mcvey INST last spring
In Paris and fought twenty rounds to a
draw.
The announcement by Fred Clarke that
he is to retire as a playing managsr and
direct tho Pirates from the bench r. not
much OF surprise to . number OF his
friends. Clarke decided upon this step
before the end Of last season, That he
Will make good as a bench leader can
hardly be doubted. He is In class with
Connie Mack. John McGraw, Ed Hanlon
and other famous ball players who all
made good in directing tn 4r respective
ming pennants with great regularity and
Hanlon did the same thing for Baltimore
and Brooklyn. and there IL no reason to
believe that the Pirate manager cannot
well as he could as a playing leader. To
be sure Clarke played about as good ball
last year as he has at any time I'm his
career, still he Is forty years OF age and
he cannot expect nor does he seem L"
want to anticipate that he can 50 on
forever.
Clarke is surely entitled to a rest
from the active life of q ball player: He
has put in the best years OF his life keep
while directing operations from his posi-
ton in left field. There have been times
when his masterful efforts were not ap-
preciated. Once McGraw had to say that
Pittsburghers, or at least a number oc
ball fans, were very undnd to Clarke,
who was putting forth all his strength
and ability to keep the Pirates In q posi-
ton In which Pittsburghers need not be
ashamed. No doubt the fans that showed
their displeasure over some Of Clarke 5
actions were in the minority. but the &C
ton OF this coterie grated on the fair-
ness Of McGraw and he made no bones
in saying that they didn't know when
they had a great leader, nor how to APP
preciate him. In directing the team from
the bench Clarke will have more time
to fathom some of the intricacies that he
could hardly be expected to look after
while playing In the game. Al great
ball players have to give up the playing
end Of ii at some time or another, and
Clarke is wise In dropping out before he
passes into the sere and yellow.
The Boston American prints this: This
is the real reason why Elmer Steele. the
former Red Sox pitcher, was released
from the Pittsburgh team IN the National
League He was let out the latter parr
of the season, but no definite reason was
in the interest OF discipline. There wa ,
no player on the team whom the man
ager liked better than Elmer, but he
broke over the traces once too often.
1t happened in st. Louis steele was
pitching and getting the bumps. Slafhe
signaled for relief, but Steele refused l"
get Off the mound and the manager Was
forced to go out and take the bail out
