lost a number of good hogs. Every
precaution is being taken to prevent

NEGRO BADLY CUT
ON BOARD TRAIN
sUSTAiNS NUMBER OF KNIFE
WOUNDS AND MAY LOSE LIFE
AS RESULT.

A serious cutting affary took place
on Passenger train No. % from Co.
lumbia to Sheffield Monday afternoon
between a couple Of negroes, in
which one was unhurt and the other
may lose his life. Harvey Hughes is
the porter on the train and was the
victim of the drunken wrath of Frank
Jefferson, a section hand who works
with a section gang out Of Summer
town.
Hughes was cut in number Of
places on the face and head, an ngly
cash on his left arm and several
stabs in the breast and other portions
of the body, and the physicians say
it is wonder that he was not killed,
with as many knife wounds in his
person as he sustained. The injur-
ed person was carried to the colored
ward of the Kings Daughters Hos
pital and his assailant was taken to
jail to await the result of the wounds
When Jefferson was approached by
the conductor he acted a bit ugly but
finally threw his knife and pistol
both through the window. The pis-
tol was found this morning by Fred
Kelsey, who was down the road on
a matter of business at Century
Mines. The knife was not found.

ENTERS MAURy DRY

CUTS PANEL FROM DOOR IN
REAR OF STORE AND FILLS
~.. BIG SUIT CASE.
E, S. BEASLEY WAS The MAN
Arrested in Nashville He Makes
clean Breast of Affair and WIZ Be
Brought Back Here Tonight for
Prosecution.
Tuesdays Daily.)

Robbed store in Columbia and
caught in Nashville before his VIC
tins were aware of their loss, was
the experience of G. S. Beasley, an
exconvict, Monday night and Tues
day morning.
Early this morning Chief Curran
called City Marshal Mclean TO tell
him that he had man with a bran
new suit case filled with merchan-
disc that the man under arrest stat
ed belonged to the Maury Dry Goods
Company at Columbia and while this
talk was in progress E. p Turner
was telling Constable Goad of the
discovery that the store had been en-
tered during the night and the cash
drawer robbed
The robber entered the store from
the rear cutting a panel each from
two doors and crawling through each
to reach the main store. The cash
drawer was robbed of $12 or SIS, all
that it contained, suit case was TAX
en- and it appears from the reports
of the Nashville officers that this
was filled with whatever struck the
fancy of the thief, as seventeen pairs
of pants, some ladies ready to wear,
including fancy kimonas, and other
goods to the full capacity of the case
were taken. He left here on No. 4,
which leaves between 1870 and 2
o'clock and was arrested in Nashville
before o'clock, before the discov-
cry was made by the proprietors of
the store. 1t is not known what the
value of goods taken amounted to-,
but not less than SIS and probably a
great deal more.
A warrant was sworn out by f. P.
Turner of the Maury Dry Goods Co.
and placed in the hands of Consta-
Bile Goad, who went to Nashville on
the II o'clock train, and will return
here with Beasley and the goods on
the afternoon train.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Wooten are
confident this morning that they
heard Beasley in the rear of the
store in the early part of the night
as Mr.. Wooten was down town late
working on his books, and Mrs. Woo
TIM called his attention to the noise,
but they decided it was not impor-
tant
The police authorities state that
Beasley has been about Columbia
for some time and that they have
been watching him as suspicious
character. and are not surprised that
he robbed the store.
When approached in Nashville
with the goods In his possession and
could not make satisfactory expla.
nation, he made clean breast Of it
ali, telling who he was, where he got
his plunder and how, and opening up
mis- past record.

STATE FUNDING BOARD so DE.

VILE TUESDAY.
SECRETARY NOT ELECTED
Publicity Will Be Given in New York
and Tennessee Papers and Plans

Old Fiscal Agent.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 23.-
The fight for the secretaryship be-
tween the incumbent Jesse Beasley
and former Secretary George Blake
was relegated to the rear yesterday
at the meeting1o of the state funding
board and business of preparing to
refund the state of 100000 was
launched into with avidity.
A fiscal agent was appointed, bond
attorneys chosen and plans laid to go
forward at once with the advertising
for bids looking to the sale of the
bonds. The latter is the biggest Job
before the board just at this time.
Ads will be inserted in both Tennes-
see and New York papers, but the
bids will be received and opened at
the Tennessee capitol
The Park National Bank of New
York, for years Tennessee's fiscal
agent in the Eastern market, was re-

the present big deal. The board,
however, went to Bedford county to
choose the legal counsel for the work
to be done. The law firm of Cald-
well & Greer, of Shelbyville, was
chosen. Dillon, Thompson & Clay,
bond attorneys of New York, will
pass on the legality of the bonds.
The New York Bank, the New
York bond attorneys, the Tennessee
law firm and the state funding board
will be sole parties in sustaining the
states credit by taking care Of its
debt.
Just as arly as possible adver.
tisements will be placed in all the pa
pers and financial journals as pro-
vided for in the bill that passed the
| Legislature. These advertisements
will ask for bids on four per cent
thirty year bonds in denominations
of $500 and $1,000. The $500 provi-
sion was added to the bill when an
effort was being made to have the
bonds issued non-taxable, but since
the supreme court has decided
against this contention the small de-
nominations will not be of much ben
eft, as they were intended for Ten
nessee investors.
Little more than two months inter-
venes, as July the bonds fall due.
Three weeks of this time must elapse
for advertising, as that period is re-
quired by the bill. Five weeks win
be left to receive, open and inspect
bids and deliver the bonds. The
brief period will keep the board on
the 60, but it's members declare that
when the time comes everything,
even to the last cent, will be properly
cared for.
