SHOOTING IN KINGSTREE.
w. P. Baker Possibly Fatally
Wounded by j. G.. Hudson.

Kingstree, March 11.-W. P.
Baker was shot and possibly fatally
wounded here this afternoon by j..
C. Hudson. The shooting took place
at Hudson & Bakers stables, near
Court House square. The affairs of
the firm were being closed up and
assumed by Mr.. Baker, and in the
course of settlement it appears that
some words were passed, when Mr..
Hudson drew his pistol and fired on
Mr.. Baker, the ball entering to the
left side, near the heart. Immedi-
ately after the shooting Hudson sur
rendered to the sheriff and was
lodged in jail.
Hudson is the son of O. A. Hud-
son, deceased, who was associated
with Mr.. Baker in the livery business,
and after his fathers death came
here to look after the business.

CHURCH OF HIDDEN TREASURE.
Its Walls Said to Contain a Chest
Full of Money and Jewels.

A small building popularly known
as "The Church of Hidden Treas
ure'' stands in the little town of Bar
elias, New Mexico. During the Mexi-
can war many of the richest families
in the neighborhood hid their gold
and valuables in all sorts of curious
places.
Senor Sandoval, very rich land
owner, chose the thick walls of the
village church as his treasure vault,
according to a writer in the Wide
World, and tradition says that the
precious hoard has never been re-
moved.
Only few years ago several
groups of men armed with pickaxes,
crowbars and other implements, be-
sieged the place in search of the fab
ulous wealth said to be concealed
somewhere on the premises. The
treasure is believed to be contained
in large wooden chest, such as most
of the wealthy MeXicans formerly
possessed. 1t is claimed that the box
contained thousands of dollars in
gold, besides emeralds, diamonds and
pearls, set in pure native gold.
The Sandoval family, however,
guard the place most carefully, while
they in turn are jealousy watched to
see that they do not disturb the
church property. Bold and daring
plans are sometimes laid, but nothing
seems to come of them, and the anci-
ent building still guards it's precious
secret.

AIKEN MAN LODGED IN JAIL.
Abe Sharpton Charged with Theft OF
Horse and Buggy from Negro.

Aiken, March 9.-On Friday al
ternoon, R. P. Samuels, assisted by
MAGISTRATE Sem, of Vaucluse, arrest
ed Abe Sharpton, white charged with
stealing a horse, buggy and harness
from w. H. Halloway, a negro.
On Thursday morning, about IL
o'clock, Sharpton went to HalloWay's
house and asked that the latter send
him to Aiken. Halloway sent his l6-
year-old son as driver, but Sharpton
and the boy did not return that night
and Halloway went in search OF
them, with the result that, near the
plantation of Mr.. L. R. Weeks, about
two miles west of this city, he found
his son lying on the ground in an un-
conscious condition. 1t is thought
that while returning from Aiken
sharpton drugged the youth.
From this point he left the public
road, proceeded down Bridge Creek
and across country to gypsy camp
thence home.
Sharpton left home Friday morn
ing about o'clock and drove to
Miles Mill, five miles distant, where
he was arrested that afternoon about
6 o'clock.
Mr.. Samuels had been notified OF
the alleged crime Thursday night,
and got on the trail of Sharpton early
Friday morning, with the above re-
suit.
The horse and buggy were returned
to the owner.

Sensible Remarks About Cotton.

There is no use abusing the cotton
crop for our own mistakes. Cotton
is worth 12 cents a pound to the
world when we do not offer the con-
sumers too much. On the other
hand, if it were produced right as
the money crop in a proper system
of rotation and djversi6cation, it is
the best crop known to the agricultu-
raj world, even at 10 cents pound.
Cotton is indeed the Fing of farm
crops. No other crop would have
enabled the South to accomplish what
she has since the war. 1t is the
greatest asset of Southern agricul-
ture and our abuse of it has alone
brought all the evils that have at
tended it's production. The South
must and will grow the bulk of the
cotton to clothe the world, but let
US do it in a way that will bring US
the greatest good. Rotate the crops
and plant cotton only on those lands
that will make a profitable Yield
Progressive Farmer.

WHAT BLEASE HAS DONE.
Governors Alleged Achievements

Columbia, March 10. -" What
Blease has done for South Caro-
lima, by T. B. Felder,' is the
title of a book, copy of which
was shown here this afternoon
by travelling man, who was
returning from a trip through the
Piedmont. The book in question con-
sists of red backs and four blank
pages, each page having blot of
ink on it. That is all there is to
the book
The travelling man said the
pamphlet was being circulated pretty
generally throughout the Piedmont,
and whenever it is pulled out in a
crowd and the title given every man
at once wants to see it, When it is
examined, and nothing but blank
pages coverted with blotches of ink
are found, comments are varied.
1t will be remembered that T. B.
Fielder, the much discussed Atlanta
attorney, promised to write a book
on Gov. Blease and this is the closest
thing resembling the promised book
which has been issued so far.

FLORENCE WOMAN ATTACKED.
Seized in Yard by Unknown Man,
who Escapes-City Stirred.

Florence, March 11.-A we'll
known and highly respected woman,
the wife of well-known railroad en-
gineer. was attacked here tonight by
a man unknown to her, and who
made good his escape before assist
ance reached her.
The lady had gone into the yard
for an armful Of wood and as she
reached down to pick up the wood
she was seized by some one from be-
hind. She screamed and made an
effort to free herself from his hold,
and in doing so the person making
the assault tore her dress from her
person. After getting free from his
grasp she ran screaming to the house
and by the time assistance arrived
the fellow had scaled the fence in
the darkness and gotten away.
The place where the offence was
committed is just one door, south on
Gaillard street, from East Evans, and
within four doors from where little
Andrew Jackson was taken. The al
fair. following so close on the mys-
terious disappearance and murder of
the Jackson child, has thrown the
women and children who have heard
of it almost into Mysteries, and the
men, who were congregated in
groups in the eastern section of the
city, are swearing vengeance against
the culprit should he be caught.
Arrangements are being made to Sc
cure bloodhounds if they can be got
ten quickly.
