Shaner, the man who killed Jim Wal
lace at Danville on Sunday nisht last.
surrendered himself to his brother, Mr.
Waller tsnaner. this afternoon, and was
taken by the latter to the police station.
The two reached the court house at 4
o'clock and found there the Danville
officers who had had some previous in
timation of Sbaner's intention. He was
shortly afterward taken to jail, no ap
plication being made for bail, and will
be taken to Danville to-morrow. The
prisoner seemed composed. He wore
the gray suit mentioned in the descrip
tions of him, his face was clean shaven
and he did not seem to be any the worse
for his exciting experience of the past
few days.
On being asked by the reporter as to
how long he had been in town, he re
plied that he had been here about two
days. He did not seem to think that
there was a very serious case against
him.
LIKELY TO BE AGAINST THK STATE.

ray
in the Soath Carolina Injunction Case.
Columbia, 8. C May 3. The hear-
ng in the important injunction case
nvolving the constitutionality of the
South Carolina registration laws and
constitutional convention act was con
tinued to-day. . Mr. O. A. Douglass, for
the complainant, made a powerful ar
gument, starting at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and continuing until 4u0 p. m..
with a recess for dinner. He riddled
the law with legal shot from no end of
authorities. Mr. Oeorge 8. Mower then
began and completed his argument for
the State, which was simply a citation
of authorities. Judge Goff interrupted
him many times with pertinent ques
tions, indicating that his mind is Pret
ty clear on the case. The general idea
now seems to be that the decision is
going to be against the State. Three
more arguments consuming four or five
hours are to be made .to-morrow. The
case will scarcely be concluded till to
morrow evening. The dispensary case
will not be reached until Monday.
The Bauzy, France, dam disaster was
due to the carelessness of State engin
eers, who should have condemned it.

THK REGISTRATION L1W.
Argraments aa to Its Constitutionality
Becss Before Jnda Goff at Columbia
Testerday The Dispensary Cases.
Columbia, S. C, May 3. The hear
ing in the South Carolina registration
law injunction cases, involving the
constitutionality of the registration
laws is slowly progressing. This morn
ing, when the court met at 11 o clock,
Mr. C. A. Douglass, for the complainants
began a powerful argument completely
riddling the laws and pointing out end
less points or unconstitutionality, tie
also argued at great length upon the
question of the jurisdiction of the court.
There are to be four more arguments,
General Edward McCrady, the framer
of the 1882 law, closing the case on be-
hati or tne state Tne hearing wil;
hardly be concluded before to-morrow
or Monday. While public interest in
this case is at fever heat, it does not
compare with that manifested in the
hearing of the dispensary injunction
case yet to be called. It is thought
that Judg&Uoff will have a numoer of
constables before him for contempt
upon the calling of the case before the
hearing is proceeded with.

Answer: Tea, by consent. 4th. Was
Stanford legally elected by the Legisla
ture March 1ST no. tu. noes isuing
ton unlawfully hold over and refuse to
surrender the office 1 No.
'Stanford at once appealed to the Su
preme Court. Ellington gave bond for
$500 to cover the emoluments of the
office until the matter is decided. The
decision in his favor was expected by
observant people-. Stanford said to-day
he expected the case would be arguea
at this term of the Supreme Court, but
it may hot come up until the rail term.
Interest here to-dav centered m tne
execution of George Mills. The latter
murdered bis niece, lana wimbeny,
near Apex, -this county, June 10, last.
He was arrested the following day.
Last September he was tried. He made
a confession, ana on tnis tne iriri
father. Jack Wimberley, was arrested
and tried for his life at the January
term, this year, but was acquitted.
Mills, at the September term, appealed
to the Supreme Court, which, in March,
affirmed the sentence of the lower
court. Governor Carr then issued his
death warrant, naming to-day as the
date of execution.
Mills was awake last night until 5 a.
m. . lie prayed a great aeai ana ms
prayers were quite eloquent, xnere
was nothing of the insane man about
him and nothing to show a weak mind.
He woke at 7:30 and ate breakfast. At
9:30 he was dressed for execution in a
suit of plain black. The gallows stood
in the jail yard. It bad a drop 01 o
feet. Sheritf Page was the executioner.
A lever was used to drop the trap. The
rope used was the one used at the exe
cution or Grange 1 age here ana was
one of those used at the execution of
the Coley brothers at Loulsburg. Only
36 persons were admitted as witnesses.
A deputy sheriff was askea now many
had applied for admission and said af.
least 1,000. ,
Not long after ll:lao clock there was
quite a stir at the jail and court house.
The sheriff, tnree troieaiani clergymen
and a Roman Catholic priest went to
the jail. The reporters were also ad
mitted. Mills was quite caim. ine
letter" of the Governor, declining to
commute the death sentence, was read
tp him- Soon after he was taken into
thelail enclosure, passing In front of
some 250 people who In silence saw him
pass. At the gallows he made little
talk in which he' thanked Sheriff Page
and the deputy sheriffs. He had some
words of rebuke for those persons who
had refused to sign the petition for com
mutation of his sentence ana said tney
lacked Christian charity. He spoke
four minutes and then -prayed three
minutes. He said he forgave his enemies
and felt sure his own sins had been
forgiven. The drop fell at 11:40. The
rope was of four strands, and one of
these gave way, so Mills' feet came to
within two inches of, the ground. He
struggled very little. The drop caused
the knot to slip back of the head.
The neck was not broken and death
resulted from strangulation in 18 min
utes. At 12:01 the body was cut down,
put in a coffin and this was placed in a
hearse. The latter left at once for
Mills' home, near Apex, where the
body was turned over to the family by
the undertaker. -
Mills wrote last March a long state
ment. In this he repeated what he bad
previously stated, this being that he
killed the girl, incited to tne crime oy
her father,' and that he hated to suffer
and yet see her father go unpunished.
Mills declined to write anytnmg to-aay
or to make any statement as to his af
fair bevond what he said on the gallows.
When the cap was beiiur put on his
head be told the sheriff to do quickly
what he was going to do. '
He was a very resigned criminal, de
spite his tearfulness in the early hours
of the day.
There is a great deal or talk about
Jack Wimberly, the girl's father. Feel
insr scrainst him is certainly bleb, and
it is rumored that some persons have
expressed their intention to lynch him
Sheriff Grant, 01 Henderson county,
was here to-day. He called on Gover
nor Carr and was paid for going to
Macon. Ga., after young Tiernan, who
stands charged with burning the Way
side Inn, at Hendersonvllle, or which
be was clerk. Tiernan was taken to
Henderson. He applied for a writ of
habeas corpus and was allowed to give
bail. He gave this in the sum of emX),
and"ha8 gone to Niagara Falls. The
owner of the burned hotel, whose name
is Nelson, is also charged with partici
pation in the crime of arson
An affidavit has been filed in the mat

Satterfleld swears it was tabled on the

bill for enrollment has been found. She
says it. was giveir her to copy "by a clerk
oT the Legislature. There is going to
be a lot of stir about this matter before
the case ends. The Governor, as a eiti-
