STOLE HORSE AND BUGGY.
Negro Claiming to Be an Agent Has
Made His Escape.

Last Friday morning about 9 or
10 O'Clock a negro, who said he was
agent for fruits, medicines, etc.,
came to the house Of Moses Hair, a
colored blacksmith, on Windsor
street and asked to borrow Hairs
buggy to delived a package on the
State road. Hair lent the horse ard
buggy, and also Sc. The stranger s
name was not caught by Hair. He
was six feet high, dark skinned and
wore a suit Of navy blue. Wore a
large rimed hat and masonic pin.
Further on in the adventures of
the stranger for the day he borrowed
ST from w. R. Bradley a colored
farmer. living about two or three
miles from town. Since that time
neither money, horse or man has
been seen. The stolen pony was
gray, shodded all round and CLASSY
eyed. No doubt when the stranger
discovers his mistake in leaving
without a farewell, he won't bother
to come back, but we warrant that
it will be hot for him if he does.

Negro Shoots q Negro.

The St. Matthews correspondent Of
The News and Courier says: The
peace and quietude of this town was
rudely disturbed Saturday night at
$50 o'clock by five pistol shots in
rapid succession. Three physicians
we're rushed to "Buyck's Quarter, y
to find that Olin Hampton had been
shot in the thigh by George Taylor,
both colored. The femoral bone was
fractured by the bullet. Taylor, 1t is
said, had brutally dubbed Hampton's s
wife, his former paramour, in the
morning, and when Hampton later
demonstrated with him Taylor whipp-
ed out his pistol and began firing.
Taylor is of violent temper and dan
gerous character, having been in
several cutting and shooting scrapes." "

Tried Hard to Save him.

Chestnut's able counsel tried hard
to save him, countesting every inch.
The murder was committed just be-
fore the convening OF the May term
of the criminal court. The Orange
burg correspondent OF The State
says: "The case was forced to trial
Determined not to enter into trial at
that time the brilliant array of coun-
sci employed to defend Chestnut
challenged the entire venire Of jury
men. AS a result of the examination
of the Jury commissioners as to how
they drew the jury, Judge Prince de-
lcared that it was emproperly drawn
and was illegal. Court was broken
up" The postponement did not save
Chestnut as the sequel shows.

Word was brought to this city yes
terday of the killing of Charley Mil
hous by Marion Evans, both negroes.
The tragedy occurred near Norway.
1t seems that a crowd Of negroes
gambled all Saturday night and that
Sunday morning the two above nam

cards. AS a result Of which diff
Guilty was shot in the arm and he
then crawled under the house.
When Evans started TO leave the
house he was followed by Milhous.
Evans turned around and told Mil
hous not to follow, but this did not
stop the follower, and Evans shot,
killing Milhous instantly.
All of the participants were fined
$4,000 in Norway for gambling, thus
swelling the treasury of that town
considerably. Evans was brought to
this city yesterday morning and it
is said that he IS a brother to the
negro that was lynched some years
ago for the killing Of Mr.. Phillips.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.
A Few Ideas Expressed Concerning
Our Courthouse.

During the past week or so there
have been two cases which have at
tracted more than passing interest
in our County. The Chestnut muir
der case and the Leysath-Poole ar
son case both attracted crowds and
consequently the Courthouse was
oppressively hot. Remarking upon
this we have heard several citizens
say that If ventilators were placed
near the top of the Courtroom 1t
would be much cooler, besides pur-
flying the air that ali who attend
court have to breathe.
Many time during the progress of
the trials the witnesses could scarce
ly be seen at all, and several times
they were only heard by those near
by and they with difficulty. The
people outside the bar heard what
was going on only with an effort.
In this connection we have heard sew
eral say that they believed If the
witnesses was seated on a slightly
raised platform he fould be seen bet
ter and heard more clearly.
In connection with the two other
expressions above we have one. Prob
ably the Chestnut trial was the first
one during which the representatives
of the Press had an especial desk for
themselves. This was used t ythem
continually during the trial and as
a resul of which full, interesting re-
ports of the trial were had. Now,
in view of the fact that a great num-
Der of people depend entirely upon
the press-especially the county
press-for their news concerning
court, we believe it would be a good
idea to make this a permanent thing
The press folks we are sure would
appreciate being able to hear the case
and take their notes in comfort. and
the readers of the paper would enjoy
the fuller and more accurate reports
that they would then give.
