C, is intensely agitated over a recent aeries of cowbidings and threatened duel, all growing out of the fascinating and pop ular game of poker. All the parties con cerned belong to the first families of .the place. It appears that the eldest son of Alaj. Edwards, the principal' lawyer of the town, has been leading a gay life since he marrie 1 the beautiful daughter of the lute Col. Jamea II. Ition, who, it will be remembered, was alleged to be a son of the dauphin of France. Young Edwards' frequent and . protracted ab sence from home at nijjht aroused his wife's ire, and on a recent night, guided by a young lad named Izlar, she uncere moniously entered the room in which liir husband and several of his male friends were engaged in a game of draw -poker. Among those present, was a Sir. Bellin ger, who bears the reputation of being a "bad man" in a fight. Sirs. Edwards seems to have thought him in some way responsible for her husband's habits, and drawing a cowhide from beneath her shawl, he set upon him and boat him un mercifully before she could be secured. Her acx aaved her from retaliation ou the part of Bellinger, who, however, ex pressed his intention of holding her hus band responsible, and forthwith ' drew a (liitol, kill btra. Sirs. Edwards' nerve orsook her, and sinking upon her knees before Bellinger, she begged forgiveness for the cowniding, and cntreited him to spare her Lusband'a life, t Be lin ger then left the room, threatening to kill any one who should divulge the oc currence. Next day, when the story got out, Bellinger sought Edwards and wore out a cowhide upon ' Ida person. It is further stated .that Bellinger compelled Edwards, at the point of a pistol,- to : go to the house of young Ldar to cowhide him for ahowing Sirs. Edwards the poker room, but the appearance of the toy's father prevented it being done. , M my of the best citizens of Walterboro hnvc taken eppoaite aides ia the matter, and were go lag about armed to tho teeth. aaajMBNaaMaJkMBaMaaHaw 1- a After Slichaol Davit t addressed tht Knighta of.
