Lexington, March 8.?County Supervisor
Langford announced this
morning that he will move the county
chaingang to the Augusta road,
between Lexington and Leesville,
on Friday or Saturday of this week.
There is about seven or eight
miles of this road yet unclayed, and
the supervisor hopes to complete
the work as rapidly as possible. He
promised several months ago to put
this road in fine shape for the Capital
Highway association, and now
that the work is to be started at
once, will be very gratifying to all
those who travel this road.
Lexington will have one road
leading to the capital of the State across
the county that will be the
equal of any road in the country.

HOMICIDE ON PUBLIC a
SQUARE
EDGEFIELD SCENE OF PISTOL DUEL P|
BETWEEN PROMINENT FARMERS
Kdgefield. March 7.?Mr. Horace
Hammond and Mr. Will Vance. 0f
two prominent farmers of the cen- as
tral section of the county, became nc
involved in a pistol duel on the pub- b]
lie square, and within a hundred ci
yards of the Court House, at this nt
place at three o'clock this afternoon d<
resulting in the death of Hammond, ea
and the wounding of Vance. Court
was in session at the time and so th
great was the excitement over the ce
shojting that a rush was made for ce
the scene of the tragedy. Hammond qi
lay on the ground weltering in hit
own blood. His brother stood ci
weeping over his body as his life w
ebbed away, while Vance, who was cc
wounded in the right hand, went for bi
medical aid. From eight to ten' b<
shots were exchanged, three taking a
effect in Hammond's body.
According to the statements of
the eye-witnesses, the parties had a
dispute over a debt due by Ham- ^
mond to Vance. Hot words followed,
the former denouncing the latter .
as a d? liar, it is said. Hammond ,
k i
drew his pistol and immediately
Vance drew and the firing comme
iced. Hammond shooting first
and Vance returning the fire so the r
report goes. Both men emptied
their pistols. A.jury was empanelled
by Magistrate Brunson, and the
inquest, which is now in progress,
was adjourned until tomorrow. Mr. *
Vance surrendered himself and is
now in the custody of the sheriff.
He is a married man with qui e a
family. Young Hammond was single
but leaves a mother and several b
brotheis. His family is one of the k
most prominent in the county. His !i
body was carried to his mother's F
home this afternoon. The tragedy ?
1 J
is deeply deplored.
