Girls on 'Possum Hunt.

'Possum hunting is not sport re-
stricted to the masculine sex, but is
also INDUCED in by the fairer sex.
At least this is so in Greenville and
immediate vicinity. One night this
week a bevy of young ladies, living
near the city in one of the suburbs,
accompanied by chaperone and two
gentlemen, started out in search Of
'possums. The expedition was sue
cessful until the party entered neck
of wood near Sans Souci Villa. In
the woods the young men disappear
ed and the ladies were left helpless
and trembling. Fortunately the girls
found a railroad "cut" and "beat it,

DETAILS OF KERSHAW TRAGEDY
John Hough Charged with killing
His Father-in-LaW.

Ills Il tlIlci.lu.Ikt".
Camden, Oct. 12.-News reached
here to-day telling of the killing of
R. K. West, by his son-in-law, John
Hough, which occurred at Hough's
home, in the eastern part of Ker-
shaw county, yesterday morning. It
is said that Hough and his wife, who
is Mr.. Vests daughter, had been
having a number of disagreements
and Hough, becoming angered, went
to Mr.. Vests house, five miles away,
and demanded that he come and get
her, that it was impossible for them.
to live peaceably together. When Mr..
West arrived at Hough's house, it is
said, he found Hough choking his
wife, when Mr.. West told him to re-
frain from it, as there was no need
of choking her.
1t is further stated that Hough
then became infuriated and knocked
West down, qHough then taking the
butt end of a shotgun and beating
him on the head. Mrs. Hough, it
seems grabbed a pitchfork nearby
and attempted to strike her husband
with it. She said that she was so ex-
cited that she does not think the
pitchfork struck him, but struck the
ground nearby, breaking at the
handle, when Hough grabbed the
handle and knocked his wife down
with it twice. His wife then fled to
Mr.. Vests home, five miles away,
to give the alarm. She made the trip
cross-country, as she said she was
afraid to go by the highway for fear
that her husband would overtake and
kill her. When the first persons ar
rived at the scene of the fight they
found Mr.. West unconscious, with his
skull crushed and both arms broken.
He died two hours later.
1t is said that Mr.. Hough had
been drinking heavily during the
morning. He is powerfully built
man and was at one time a clerk in
the county dispensary here. He is
closely related to the large family of
Houghs in this county, who are
prominent in politics. Mr.. West was
a rather small man and had spent all
of his life farming. He was quiet
and industrious. He is survived by
wife and the following children:
Jim, Steve, Lucille, Alma, Louise,
Marie, Lottie and Mrs. Mccoy, of
Charlotte, Mrs. Alex West and Mrs.
Hough.
Clerk of Court I. c. Hough feceiv-
ed a phone message from Mr.. E. p.
Blakeney, attorney at law at Ker-
shaw, this afternoon, saying that
Hough would come to Camden to-
morrow to surrender to the authori-
ties and not to come after him.
While on his way to arrest Hough
yesterday Sheriff Trantham was
stricken with paralysis and is notrex-
pected to recover, he has been uncon-
scious since.

Clean Up Day for Bamberg.

During it's existence, the civic
league observed clean up day several
times, and each time an improve
ment was noticed in sections Of the
town, but it has never been planned
and advertised as it should have
been. Now the last week in October
is generally observed all over South
Carolina as clean up week, and will
be so kept by the Bamberg civic
league. This year it is earnestly de-
sired that the entire town will CO.
operate and make this a week long
to be remembered in league work.
We beg that the railroad authorities,
the merchants, and all business men,
the owners of vacant lots, and every
single housekeeper will have their
home or place of business put into
exquisite order. Wagons and teams
will be needed, and it is hoped that
not only the street force with their
teams will be donated to our use
that day, but that the livery stables
and everybody who can spare a team,
will lend a helping hand by allowing
the use of their horses and wagons,
if only for half day. At a called
meeting of the executive committee
some afternoon this week systematic
plans will be made for this clean up
day.

PRIMARY ELECTION.

The primary held Tuesday for at

light vote being polled, and Thos. H.
Peoples, of Blackville, seems to be
nominated over Attorney General j.
Fraser Lyon by a small majority.
Little interest was taken all over
the State, and in many places the
polls were not even opened. The to-
tai vote accounted for by the News
and Courier Wednesday morning
was:
This gives Peoples majority of
2,700, and later returns are not like
ly to change the result.
In Bamberg county an exceed
ingly small vote was polled, and at
three voting precincts the managers
failed to call for the boxes. The
vote so far received by County Chair
man H. G.. Folk is as follows:

Standing by the entrance of a large

two huge dogs carved out of gran

''How often, Jack, do they feed
those two big dogs?"
whenever they bark, sir" was the
straight-faced reply.
