terstate fair will throw open its gates in
nine days. The final work of prepara
tion is hurriedly being pushed to a con
clusion.
A contest has been arranged and the
money has been pat up for a broadsword
and lance combat between Captain
Xavier Orlofsky and Captain Olsen B.
Wilbeson, late of the Danish army.
Captain Wilbeson, in a letter received
by Secretary Martin yesterday, agreed
to the terms of Orlofsky’s challenge aud
sent a certified check for $100 to be
posted as a forfeit for his appearance.
The contest will be divided into four
bouts aud one will be fought- on each
of the four nights of the horse show.
Both of the men are expert swords
men and have reputations in this coun

LADY KILLED IN A RUNAWAY.
Mrs. Jewett Threwn From a Buggy
With Fatal Results.
Macon, Sept. 29.—While out driving
Mrs. John Jewett, wife of H. J. Jewett,
was thrown from the buggy and in
stantly killed. Her two sons, who were
with her at the time the accident oc-
occnrred, were also injured.
The accident occurred near Summer-
field, 7 miles from Macon aud about 2
miles from their suburban home. It
seems that the horse became frightened
at something along the roadside and be
gan to run. The Central of Georgia
railroad intersects the road at a point
near whore the animal became fright
ened. Op reaching the track the horse
turned down it and threw the occupants
from the buggy.
We are Bound to
Make a Ten-Strike
in this business of selling manufactured
wood-work.
The difference between the cost of
the best wood-work and that of the poor
kinds is slight.
The cost of completing a house or any
other building is too great for you to al
low it to be jeopardized by poor wood
work.
The good bowler will roll his ball
against the king-pin in such a w r ay as
to knock all down w’ithin.
A wist buyer will buy his lumber,
building material, wood-work, glass and
builders’ hardware in one place and get
all the advantages that come with the
best material and lowest prices.
That one place is here.
Why don’t you make a ten-strike?

Refugee.-; Murdered by Chinese Sol-
diers—Others Went to the Governor
for Protection and Were Cut to
Pieces by Boxers in His Presence.
Tir.v Tsix, Sept. 5, via San Fran
cisco, Oct. 3.—A circumstantial narra
tive of the massacrees in Shan Si prov
ince has reached here through a native
Christian teacher who escaped and, after
a remarkable journey through the coun
try by foot and boat has just arrived.
This man is a graduate from the North
China ■■oliege, speaking English fluently
and absolute confidence is placed in his
statements by the American missiona
ries.
Hi

tlr
tier compulsion arrested t 1a - chief tbs
penser of rite ho pita!.. The man was
given 330 blows and the demand made
that he should secure the arms in pos
session of the mission. These were ac
cordingly given up, two pistols and two
rifles. The demand was repeated that
they* must hasten their departure. Four
country carts were prepared for them
aud their goods duly packed. They
were to start on Aug 15, guarded by 20
soldiers. The teacher, on the advice of
one of the soldiers, escaped from the
TESTS ESCORT: party some few miles from the village
| of Ksi Shih.
I The party was supposed to be sent to
Ping Yao, about 30 miles from Fu Chow.
When not far away on his line of escape
ho heard the firing of a gun. He after
ward learned that this was the signal
for the attack upon the party. They
were escorted by the soldiers a few
miles further, where they were met by
another detachment and all were at
tacked and killed with swords.
Going back to early in June a graphic
and apparently reliable account of all
the murders in the Shan Si province is
given. Much of it is too horrible.for
publication. Men, women and children
were butchered, their bodies mutilated
and, in many instances, their heads
were placed on the gates of the villages.
So far as known the first murders oc
curred Juue 28, when two women, mem
bers of the China inlaud mission, were
killed at Hisia Ti Hsi Fn. They were
Miss Whitechurch and Miss Sewell,
who lived alone at the mission, a re
mote place.
Horrible Butchery of Foreigners.
The next outrage took place at Show
Yang, about 75 miles from Tai Yuan
Yu, which is a inissiou station of the in
dependent workers, on Juue 29. The
st-orv of this massacre, if true, leaves
little doubt of the guilt of the local
Chinese authorities. In all 33 persous
were slain. Among them were Mr. and
Mrs. T. W. Piggott, their son, Mr. Rob
ertson, a tutor; Miss Duval, a teacher,
and the daughter of Mr. Atwater of
Yen Chou Fu. They were sent to Tai
Yuan. On the march they suffered ter
ribly. On arriving at Tai Yuan they
were placed in separate rooms and suf
fered many indignities. A complete list
of all foreigners was demanded by the
governor on July 7. He fheu ordered
them all to come to his yamen, assuring
them they would be protected aud es
corted safely to the coast-
The order was complied with and the
entire party of foreigners was admitted
between files of soldiers through the
outer gate to the court. Once .safely in
the walls of the yamen the ranks of the
soldiers were opened and about 40 Box
ers admitted. They fell upon the un
armed missionaries with swords and a
horrible butchery ensued. The bodies
of the unfortunate men and women
were hacked to pieces, their heads cut
off aud placed i*i baskets, which were
suspended over the four gates of the

slain and the following day the Catholic

ggAt Tai Eu, about 20 miles from Tai
Yuan, F. W. Davis, C. D. Williams, D.
H. Clapp and wife, Miss Rowena Ford
and Miss Susan Partridge were killed.
The heads were taken to Tai Yuan and
placed in the baskets on the gates, aud
it is said the hearts of the men were cut
out- and carried to Peking.
One hundred native Christians were
killed at the time, 66 of them beiug con

These people had no means of resistance
and were simply slaughtered.

Ordered to Shoot Foreigners.
Berlin, Oct- 3.—Official advices from j
Peking, dated Sept. 23, assert that a j
further examination of the Chinese non- '
commissioned officer accused of Baron j
Ketteler’s murder, resulted iu this state- j
ment: “On June f we received orders j
from the prince to shoot foreigners
wherever we came across them. ’ The
accused, it appears, decided that the or
der was to shoet a minister, or the Ger
man minist „r. He declared himself un
able to say which prince gave the order.
OFFICER WAS OVERPOWERED
Negro Prisoner Was Taken From Him
by Force.
Tifxon, Ga., Oct. 2.—A negro entered
the residence of Dr. J. A. McCrea. He
was first discovered by Mrs. McCrea,
and was then in her room, where a dim
light was burning. She called to know
who it was, and receiving no answer
jumped out of bed and turned up the
light- Seeing it wa3 a negro.she screamed
aud ran toward the doctor’s room, across
the hall. The negro ran out at the door,
which he had previously unfastened, be
fore Dr. McCrea could get his pistol.
The description of the negro as given
by Mrs. McCrea and the y onug ladies
resulted in the arrest of Charles Wash
ington. When carried before the ladies
they positively identified him as the
man.
Washington was placed in Tilton jail,
but rumors of a lynching becoming cur
rent, Constable Oliver took the negro in
his buggy and started to Nashville with
him. About 1 mile out of town Oliver
was met by a crowd of men, whether
white or black he could uot tell. One
seized his horse and others seized him.
The negro was taken from the buggy
and Oliver told that he had just two
minutes to get away, and one of them
was already gone. He returned home
and no trace of the negro has been dis
covered since. It is hardly probable
that he was killed even if the party was
white, aud if negroes it was plainly a
rescue.
MRS. PETTYJOHN SUICIDES.
An Augusta Lady Takes Her Own
Life at Hillman.
Washington, Ga., Oct. 2.—A myste
rious suicide occurred at Hillman which
ended the life of Mrs. William P. Petty
john of Augusta.
Mrs Pettyjohn, not going down to
breakfast, Mrs. Dozier, the proprietor of
the hotel, knocked at her door, and re
ceiving no response, forced an -eutrauce,
and on entering found the occupant un
conscious. Two hours later Mrs. Petty
john was dead. A half emptied vial on
the table told a part of the story.
There is evidently some mystery be
hind the scenes which has not yet been
permitted to creep out. When prepara
tions were made for shrouding the body
the only trunk in the room was found
to contain gentlemen’s clothing.
A brother-in-law of the deceased,
when he arrived, asked to see the trunk
and tried to gain entrance into the room
where the inquest was beiug held. He
said the verdict should have been that
the deceased came to her death by rea
son of heart failure and not by opiates
from her own hands.

Quiet Prevails at Georgetown—Cuuse
of the Disturbance.
Columbia, S. O., Occ. 2.—Quiet pre
vails at Georgetown today. The pres
ence of six companies of militia has
overawed the negroes. The cause of the
trouble has just been learned.
Saturday afternoon J. C. Scurry, a
white deputy, went to collect delin
quent taxes from a negro barber, John
Brownfield. A scuffle ensued aud Scur
ry’s pistol dropped. The negro grabbed
it and shot Scurry five times. Brown
field was arrested.
The negroes Heard that the white peo
ple would ring the fire hell to get the
negroes to assemble in another part of
the town, and then the whites would
rash to the jail and lynch Brownfield.
The negroes rang the bell themselves,
aud 1,000 of them dashed to the jail
with rifles and pistols to protect the
prisoner, they said. They kept up hor
rible orgies all night. The whites in
tended no violence to the prisoner and
fearing the negroes would be led into an
aggressive outbreak, they asked for the
militia.
FRANKS HELD FOR PERJURY.
Former Member of the North Carolina
Legislature Indicted.
Raleigh, Sept. 28.—The grand jury
has returned a true bill against ex-State
Senator J. A. Franks of Swain county
for perjury. The case is a sensational
one. Franks is a Republican and was a
member of the state election board. Two
years ago a man named George W. Jus
tice came here from Asheville as a law
yer, stole a number of law books from
the courthouse aud other buildings, and
was arrested on the charge of larceny.
Franks became his security, giving a
justified bond of $5'), and swearing he
was worth that much in excess of all in
debtedness.
Justice fled the state and went to Ala
bama, forfeiting his bail. An exeention
sent to Swain county for the amount of
Frank’s security was returned-with the
statement that he was worth nothing.
All efforts ro induce the authorities of
Alabama to arrest Justice have failed.

cottou been rushed to the European
markets so early iu the season as during
the past few weeks. The ships have
