in the history of the town, and the
new year was ushered in equally as

no drunkenness or disorder of any
kind, and no arrest has been heard
of during the week of holiday.
New years morning the front and
side door Of the dispensary had black
bows nailed to same, and sign sus-
pended from the awning frame read
as follows: On the side: Notice
Dead, but not forgotten" and on the
other side, Here lies the remains OF
a popular but cursed institution
Later in the morning square

colored water, with an empty gun
shell for stopper and black bow
tied around it's neck, was also hung

SHOT By NEGRO.
Sam Wilson i'm Jail at Darlington AZ
ter Firing Three Shots.

Darlington, Jan. 3.-Curtis Byrd,
a young white man employed at the
lumber companys plant at Lumber,
in the lower part of the county, was
shot this morning at an early hour by
a negro, Sam Wilson. Mr.. Byrd was
shot three times, the weapon used be-
ing IA calibre revolver. The bull
lets were made for rifle. The
wounded man is in an infirmary at
Florence. The negro has been arrest
ed and is in jail here.
tseems that Mr.. Byrd left Lumber
this morning on the train from Ben
nettsville to Sumter, which passes
Lumber between 7 and and 8 o'clock
for Montclare, to search for negro
woman who had seriously cut another
negro on Saturday at Lumber. On
getting to Montclare he located the
woman and went to arrest her. Sam
Wilson, who lived with her, followed
them back to the station. AS Mr..
Byrd started back to Lumber with his
prisoner he inquired of Wilson if he
was going with them and received an
affirmative reply. Mr.. Byrd told him
to-. take the woman's suitcase and
bring it along and to surrender what
ever weapons he had with him. The
negro then drew HIS revolver and be-
gan firing.
Immediately after the shooting the
negro fled. He was pursued by Rob-
ert Winters, who succeeded in over
taking him and arresting him after a
chase of few hours. The sheriff was
notified in the meantime and arrived
on the scene shortly after the arrest.
Wilson has told several incoherent
stories of the shooting, at one time
stating that he did not intend to
shoot Mr.. Byrd, and at another that
he did it because he was afraid. He
and the woman arrested early this
morning at Montclare are both in
jail.
While Mr.. Byrd's condition is Sc
rious, hope for his recovery is enter
tanned by the physicians.

versified farming and economy will
be among the main points in the gov
ernor's message. He will devote
good deal of his remarks to the pub
lie appropriations.
1t is believed that more stringent
laws for the punishment of violators
of the prohibition laws will be made
at this session. Representative Lilies
will introduce a measure doing away
with the option of fines and requiring
judges to give straight chain gang
sentences to all persons convicted OF
violating the prohibition laws. 1t
will be necessary for the general as
sembly to provide the governor with
a fund for enforcing the law, for the
appropriations heretofore made by
the counties for this purpose came
out of the dispensary profits and Will
undoubtedly be discontinued.
Rumors that the lawmakers will
devote a big part of their time to
playing politics are discounted here
and little credence is given to such
reports. The general assembly has
very little reason for playing poll
tics-that is, any more politics than
is always visible in all lawmaking
bodies. 1t is believed that the spirit
of harmony and desire of construc-
tive legislation for the good of the
State, which was evident throughout
the last session, will again prevail
