SEVERELY BEATEN BY NEGRO.
Kershaw Man Badly Used Up in
Hand-tO.Hand Conflict.

Camden, May 8.-Joe Banks, a
white farmer, who resides near San
ders Creek, came into Camden late
yesterday afternoon to have his head
and a number of places on his body
sewed up, as result of severe
beating given him by a negro, who
used a stick to make the wounds.
Banks had had some trouble with
the negro the day before, it is said,
and the trouble soon grew into a
fight. The negro used stick, and
Mr.. Banks said that the last thing
he remembered, was hearing the ne
gro say that II had better kill him
while 1 am it, because if I don't he
will kill me-
It is said that the wounds would
have likely proved fatal to an ordin-
ary man, but Mr.. Banks being very
hardy, was able to stand the severe
punishment. It is not known yet
whether or not the negro has been
apprehended.
Besides four huge scalp wounds,
all which had to be sewed up, his
back and arms were badly bruised
and cut from the blows.

man, who was cut by H. NJ. Hill in a
local restaurant yesterday afternoon
died this morning. At the coroner's
inquest held to-day 1t was shown that
Hill had been boarding with Dormans
and that after the store in which
he was interested here went into
bankruptcy he piled up something Of
a considerable board bill and had
been asked to leave the Dorman
house. He met d. Gordon Baker, a
friend Of Dorman, in the restaurant
yesterday and began to abuse and
curse Dorman. Baker told him that
he could not say the words to Der
mans face, and Hill told him he
would. Baker said he would call
Dorman, and Hill went out saying
that he would return. Baker sent
for Dorman, and told him what Eli
had said. Presently Hill returned,
and Dorman said that he ought not to
have called him such names and curs-a
ed him. The two men then clinched-
witnesses did not see the knife
drawn. In the wrestling Hill stab
bed Dorman several times over the
kidneys, and then broke away and
ran out of the door. Later he was
followed by the police and oYertakenl
and arrested. He is now in the coun-
ty jail.
The verdict was that Dorman came
to his death from knife wounds IN
the hands of II. M. Hill.

GOVERNORS MEN OUSTED.
BLEASE APPOINTEES AREN'T
LEGAL COMMISSIONERS.
Unanimous Decree by Supreme Court.
Deposed Members Must Also
Pay Costs.

Columbia, May 14.-The supreme
court, in an opinion to-day, ousted
Gov. Blease's appointees to the office
of township commissioners in Beau
fort county as asked by Attorney
General Lyon, the opinion concluding
thus:
1T is therefore adjudged that the
defendants against whom these ac-
tions are brought and are still before
the court are guilty of usurping and
intruding into, and unlawfully hold
ing and exercising the duties Of the
Office of township commissioners in
Beaufort county, and it is the judg-
ment of this court that the defend
ants be excluded from said Offices
and that the plaintiff recover costs in
each case against the defendants.
The opinion is by Associate Justice
Watts and is concurred in by the en-
tire court.
The supreme court said the Blease
appointees as township commission
ers in Beaufort county were guilty
of usurpation and Illegally holding
Office and ordering them to surren-
der. The defendants are not fined
but are assessed the costs in the case
This is the first of the quo war
ranto proceedings to oust appointees
of the governor in many parts of the
State and is considered an index OF
what the results will be in all the
other cases.
The court ruled that the Blease ap-
pointees were not the legal incum-
bents of Office because of the fact
that they were appointed without the
rural police case and the decision is
based on that case. 1t is considered
slap at the governors acts Of max
ing appointments of followers con.
trary to the legislatures wishes. The
attorney general demurred from the
return of the defendants in the case
and his demurrer was sustained
There were four cases against the
township commissioners, but all were
tried together.

LYNCHED IF CAUGHT, PERHAPS.
Bloodhounds Trailing Man who En-
tered Conway Woman's Room.

tered Conway Woman's Room.
Conway, May 13.-This morning
an unknown negro entered the home
of prominent lady in town, perhaps
with intent to commit an assault,
but was put to fight when he dis
covered that there were two ladies
in the room and made good his es-
cape. About 2 o'clock screams for
help were heard in, the direction of
the house by a nekt-door neighbor,
who Immediately rushed to the scene,
but only to find the negro gone.
The negro entered from the back
door, which must have been left open
and passing through to the front
room, where the ladies were sleep
ing, struck match, which aroused
one of them The alarm was given
by her sister in an instant, while the
former sprang from the bed and
struck light. Upon perceiving that
there were two people in the room
the negro wheeled about with his
back to them, sprang upon bed,
breaking a slat, and leaped out OF
the front window, which he had evil
dently raised before entering the
house.
AS soon as assistance arrived it
was seen that a window pane had
been broken and prints of bare feet
were seen on the ground just outside.
The ladies were frightened within an
inch of their lives and it was thought
for several hours that one would not
recover from the shock.
The news was rather late in being
circulated and it was rather late be-
fore any definite action was taken.
However, bloodhounds were wired
for, which came in on this after
Moons train. They were Immediately
placed upon the trail and at late
hour tonight they are six miles from
town and it is expected that the negro
will be caught before tomorrow
morning. The people are very much
incensed over this dastardly deed and
if the negro is caught tonight he will
no doubt be severely dealt with.
