Nov. 10. Last night about 11 o'clock Miss Bethania Ashby, a popular rnd well known young lady of this city, was shot and seriously wounded and her physicians cannot tell what the result may be. The shooting occurred one mile west of here on the L6v Gap road in a (i'ils woods, near what is known as Old Hollow church, a locality which has furnished much criminal history in th- past few years. Misses Ashby and -Minnie Burke, accompanied by Mr.

Jack Turner were' driven out to the home of Mr Ti. M. Mcdee, who lives two miles from here, and it was while returning to Hie city that, the cowardly crime was committed. The young people were in a buggy and while coming through the woods saw just in front of them a man crouching by the roadside. Just as the vehicle came un with the man he sprang up and tried to grasp the lines, but Mr.

Turner quickly anticipated his intention and dealt him a blow with his fist which staggered the attacking party. The hors- was urged forward at. this juncture and the man in the road opened fire on the occupants of the buggy. When about fifty yards from the man Miss Ashby xclaimed that she was shot. She was driven ranidly to her home in this city.

A physican was summoned and found that a forty-four calibre ball had entered her shoulder, glancing upward and coming out of her neck under the chin. The litt'e finger of the hand was also shot off. She had sustained the shock- wonderfully and was the least excited of the trio. The sheriff and a possce of men "nt immediately 'o the scene of the shooting and an investigation resulted in the arrest, this morning of Kliner Brim, a well known man of this "1-ice. When he was brought, into town in the custody of the sheriff feeling ran high and talk of lynching was indulged in bv some of the more excited citizens.

He was given a trial before a magistrate this evening and while the evidence was mostly of a circumstantial nature the court remanded him to Dob-son without bail. A large crowd sa'w I he prisoner off to jail and the' sheriff sent an extra guard for his protection. At o'clock tonight, the wounded young lady is doing well and if no complications i set in she will recover. The wound ed young l.idy is the eldest daughter of the htte Joseph Ashby. and a neice of Mayor B.

V. Sparger. The young man charged with the shoot -ins' is a son of T. L. Brim and splendidly connected in the county.

Young Brim refus-d to talk, but the invest i-showed that two other voting men were connected with the cri.no and other sensational arrests are expected. Five Negroes Drowned. Salisbury. N. Nov.

10. Five negroes were drowned in the Yadkin river, Simmon's landing, seven miles from Salisbury last night about eleven o'clock. Those who were drowned are the following named: Dave Sears, his wife ana 17-year-old son: Jack Hatz and th wife of Slint, Sears. The negroes had been to a corn-shucking at the home of Jerry Sears, colored, who lives on Captain Stewart's place in Davie county. They were on their way home from the shucking and attempted to cross the river in a small row boat.

When a little more than ha'f way across the stream the boat capsized and all were pitched into the water. Jerry and Henry Sears were following in a boat behind. They quickly pulled to the capsized boat, but those in the water had gone down for the last time and they were unable to give anv assistance to them. The Sears negroes gave the alarm find a representative is informed (hat one of the bodies was located, but was to remain in the river, probably fro.n superstitious motives. Officers went to the scene of the tragedy and the river is being dragged for the bodies.

The water at the point waere the boat capsized is about twenty feet deep. This is Rosy But True. (Manning Sentinal.)

LADY SHOT BY Wa3 a Sister of Prof. Hand Who Was to Have Lectured Here. Prof. W. H.

Hand, of the University of South Carolina, who was to have lectured in this city at the court house Sunday, was prevented from doing so on account of the d5 plorable death of his sister, Miss S. B. Hand, who was killed at Duncan bv the southbound vestibule Friday afternoon. The accident occurred on a erasing a short distance fro mi the station at Duncan. Miss Hand was a young lady, 22 years of age, and was teacher of the Duncan school.

She had dismissed school only a short time siie lost her iile. After closing school she started out fo see a sick friend, who lived across the railroad track. As she approached the crossing the vestibule train, which was running mor- than three hours late, came in sight, and as Miss Hand started across the track W. G. Gresharn.

who lives at Duncan, called out to the young lady that she could not get across before the train. But, by that time she was half way across the track. She hesitated, seeming to consider whether or not she had better turn back or go ahead. She became dazed ami onlookers say that she was so frightened that she could not move one way or the othr. No.

As a teacher the deceased was most popular and was iovd and admired not only by her pupils, but bv the patrons of her school. The friends of Prof. Hand in this county sympathize with him and his family in their bereavement. A special to The State from Spartanburg says: Coroner John S.

Turner Saturday morning held an inquest over the remains of Miss S. Bee Hand, who was killed Friday afternoon at Duncan bv being run over by Southern passenger train No. 37. The verdict re turned was that "Miss S. Bee Hand came to her death by being run over by train No.

37 of the Southern Railway." The testimony adduced at the inquest did not change the "hstance of the first report. The general opinion that Miss Hand thought that No. 37. which was running several hours late, was No. 11.

No. 11 is due to stop at the station of Duncans, and No. 37 is not. With the thought that the train was to stop Miss Hand crossed the track on the other side of the station and was run down bv the fast moving train. The funeral services will be held at her former home.

Company Formed, to Build Gigantic System of Railways. Columbia.

Nov. 10. If the purposes of the South Carolina Public Service Corporation, a newly organized concern of ten million do lars capital, are carried out this State will witness a transportation within the next two years thit will revolutionize its business. This wi be the first strictly electric railway development in this section of the So.ith It is not to lie a trolley system, but an electric railway system with a high rate of sneed and heavy freight carrying capacity. Mr.

Van Eton, one of the promoters of the scheme, who is at Orangeburg with a number of hi- associates arranging matters for an important terminus there, said today in talking of the plans and hopes of the comnany: "Columbia is to be the home of the offices of the company, and we are to radiate from there to Charlotte and the Piedmont from there. We will first go through Columbia and branch out to Charlotte and Spartanburg, taking in Greenville in the loop back to Columbia or Augusta. The object is to get an outlet to the sea at Charleston for all that rich Piedmont section. "At Orangeburg we will branch out, after leaving Charleston, with one line to Augusta and the other to Columbia, branching again just beyond Columbia for Charlotte and Spartanburg." Answering other questions the promoter said that, it could not be said just yet what exact routes anv of the liie would take. "That matter depends on the grades largely." he said.

"We are after a high speed and want, to avoid grades of more than one per cent. We will first pick out, the more important towns we want to make between the point-, I mentioned and make them, ceding to the principal mil towns and other important intermediate centres the best we can considering the grades. From Spartanburg we will take in Greenville and Anderson in the loop." "And how are the cities and towns 'on touch expected to 'come How much" purchasing of bonds will they be expected to do?" was asked. "The company has plenty of capital," was the reply.

Vast Water-Powers, (Manufacturers' Record.) To its coal supply, more thrn twice as great as the combined coai area of Great Britain, Germany and Pennsylvania: to its vast stores of oil and natural gas as sunniementarv sources of pow" and heat and light, the South adds at least 3,000,000 available horse" power of water-powers for utilization fo'- electrical transmission, a'so for power, heat and light.

DO NOT BE A BURDEN The Gaffney Drug Co. Give Some Good Advice to Readers of The Ledger. A weak stomach and its recalling ills are not natural. With proper care and the use of Mi-o na stomach tablets, the very worst case of indigestion or stomach trouble can be completely cured.

It is a sin to deprive oneself of enjoyment in life and become a burden to others through indigestion. The backaches, headaches, distress after eating, loss of appetite, gulping ti'i of undigested food and gases are not natural. Mi-o-na stomach tablets used for a few days before meals will so strengthen the digestive organs that you can eat anything you want without fear of distress or resulting sickness. The directions for taking Mi na emphasize the difference between this remedy and the ordinary medicine that is given for indigestion. na is to be used before meals, strength ening the digestive svstem for the food which is to be eaten, while the ordinary remedy is taken after meals, and simplv digests the food without strengthening the stomach.

The Gaffnev Drug Company have so much faith in the merit of Mi-o-na that they s-dl it under a guarantee to refund the money, case it does not cure. A 50 cent box of Mi-ona will do more real good than a dozen packages of the ordinary remedies sold for indigestion.

Personal Paragraphs Concerninq Pop-' ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilkinsvilie, Nov. 8. Some people in the of their generosity, have graciously accord to youi correspondent a spirit of temerity that, on account of the prominence of the parties concerned will prevent his saying anything about the unusual occurrences af. Wilkinsville on election dav last.

Tuesday. Don't be uneasy, "Buddie's" about that. Every reader of this paper, as well as many others, know that your correspondent is no man to mention or speak of things that retlect upon people or communities, or make them fell the stins of disgrace for which they are not responsible and which thev despise as much as we or anybody else. 'Tis true, we sometimes get off a little pleasantry nt what might be considered the expense of some one who enjoys it as much or even more thiia we do. We hive claimed, and still that the poonle of Wilkinsville i'fve as much soect folia and order as any com minify' in the country or faiate and such outbreaks as that to which ko.p.p eoule would have us call the public's attention is by no means the rule but.

the exception, and only an exception. Of it, however, we have no hesitancy in saying that the affair was the most disgraceful, uncalled fov, drunken carousals we have ever seen at "Wilkinsville and it has received the severest domination of all sober. right tbinl.itig men. Its a disgrace to the community. If the affair at M.abry's mill last summer had been followed til) by prompt and wholesome prosecution of the parties responsible for it then 'thev, would have had some excuse for trying to belittle the law abiding spirit of the people of this community for not doing their duty in suppressing the outrageous conduct of others.

AVe were not at Maby's mill and know nothing of it but what we lizard others say. There were several peace officers on the ground, we are told, but if any one except Sheriff Thomas ever raised a finger to suppress it, we haven't, found it out. The sheriff did his duty like a man and it told in his election Had it. not been for the presence of Sheriff Thomas there is no telling where the affair would have stopped or what would have been the end of it. If those who want to know the details of the Wilkinsville affair are anxious about it they can probably get it from any of those present and not from tig as a matter of current news worthy a place in a respectable newspaper.

So far as we are concerned we have no pets we would protect from the scothing rebuke they merit at the hands of an indignant The high and the low, the rich and the poor, white and black, will all share alike in the distribution of merital honors. Enloe Dover is an expert 'possum catcher. Usually, we are told, he spends his "Sundays" in hunting their dens and often gets one. This is a new method that may be of use to some who don't like night hunting.

Under the head of "Sabbath Reading," the secular newspaper can do an immence amount of good for the cause of Christian education and Christanity.
