| Last Saturday night a negro
shot and severely wounded Mr..
Thomas Sennette, the overseer on
the Katie plantation owned by the
Columbia Sugar Company. We
are informed that the negro had
been impudent to Mr.. Sennette
while they were in the plan
tation store that evening-had
pushed against Mr.. Sennette in
passing him. Mr.. Sennette cursed
the negro, and told him that if he
did that again, there would be
some powder burned. The negro
then left the store. Some time
afterward Mr.. Sennette left the
store also, and while he was
walking towards his room, the
negro, who oubtless was waiting
tor him, sprang before him saying:
"We will burn some powder" and
shot him. The ball entered Mr..
Sennette's left breast, short dis.
lance above his heart. After he
was shot, Mr.. Sennette fred at his
assailanf four or five times, but
missed him. Sheriff Peterman
with his corps of deputies was on
the scene short time after the
shooting, and he is close on the
trail of the negro. Our efficient
and tireless sheriff will capture
the assassin if he is in the land of
the living. Mr.. Sennette is at the
st. Mary Sanitarium. of this Mace
where his wound is being treated
by DR.. Beverly w. Smith. If hu-
man skill, ability and attention
can possibly prevail his life will
be saved by that competent and
successful surgeon and physician.
Mr.. Ssnnette's wound was thought
at first necessarily fatal. The
ball has been located and taken
out, and though his wound is still
very dangerous, still we learn that
there is chance for his recovery.

The Frisco Railroad, we learn,
is running only one passenger
train q day now, which arrives in
the morning. Why has the ser.
vice been cut down? When the
people of this town and ward
voted a tax for this railroad, they
expected and it was understood
that it would run at least two
passenger trains each day. It
looks like bad faith now, after
receiving the taxes, to refuse to
give the people the service they
promised. This should not be
tolerated without vigorous protest
on the part Of the people of the
town and ward.
