Nearly two years ago a fatal shoot ing, in which a constable was killed, occured at Heath Springs, S. C, and young Henry Bost, of Cabarrus county, well known m these parts, was arrested and jailed charged-witn the deed. Bost had charge of his father's wagon, which was loaded with whiskey, and there were two other wagons and three men in each in the crowd. The only evidence again&t Bost was that a pistol of the same caliber as the one the officer was shot with was found in his wa gon and had one empty shell in it. When the young man was put in jail it was allthe officers could do to prevent a lynching. The case has been in three courts and each time was "laid over," which Bost's attor neys were very anxious to haye done so that feeling might become better for their client, A gentleman from Lancaster says the case is strongly turning in favor of Bost, it now be ing' the belief that another one of the party pfwagosicrs did the kill ing.

'Squire Pat Mango,, of Clear Creek has had a big crod and a sensational trial at his office this afternoon, 1 4 . J A Mrs, Smith, aged fiftj five years swore out a warrant for a young boy named Ed Love. The charge Mrs. Smith makes against Love is that on last Sunday night he tried to break into her house and assault her She alleges that Love, who is about twenty years of age, made several vigorous atfcemps to break the door of her house. Mrs. Smith is a widow woman, her husband having been killed and burned in his house by a notorious negro burglar several years ago. On that same night Mrs. Smith was knocked in the head and left for dead, but she recovered and told the tale.- She now has a hole in the front part of her skuli which is cover ed with silyer. Her tale is not bes lieved by a majority of the citizens around here, as her reputation has never been very strong for a strict adherence to, the truth. Ed Love has the reputation of being a bad boy, and the act is not put much ahead of him. At all events it has created considerable excitement in the neighborohood.

J F Moser, found a small cop per coin, somewhat smaller than a ore cent piece, which is causing some of our scholars to pore over their Greek lexicons to enable themselves to translate the super scription on the com.
