DEPLORABLE AFFAIR
ON THURSDAY NIGHT
WAYMON CAIN, A YOUNG
WHITE MAN, SHOT AND
KILLED
TWO ARRESTED
Ernest Gentry and Recd Shaw,
White, Placed in Jail, Charged
With the Killing.
Pull particular?? of tho killing of
Wayrnon Cain at JackHon'u mill
Thursday night were obtained by a
(representativo of Tlic intelligencer!
carly yesterday morning, but too into
for publication.
The killing took piuco abo'it li
o'clock near Jackson's mill, ami tho
first news roached Anderson short
ly before midnight. Tho coroner and
Mr. Sunders, deputy sheriff, went to
thu scene at oucc and round that
Waymon Cain, a young white man, had
been shot and killed. An inquest
was hold and the coroner's jury plac
ed the blame on Ernest Gentry, nam
ing Reed Shaw as an accessory to tho
fact.
According to the testimony of sev
eral witnesses at the inquest, seven
young*men, Roed Shaw, Jessie Shaw,
Ernest Gentry, Waymon Cain, OH Io
Saylors, John Cain and Clyde Demp
sey, had been to the homo of Mr. W.
It. Nixon at a dunce, or musical, and
they were going back to their re
spectivo homes, having ;ust crossed
tho bridge over Rocky river at tho
mill. Tito shootiug took place with
in fifty feet or tho bridge and within
100 feet of tho homo of Mr. Nixon.
Recd Shaw, Er nos t Gentry, and John
Cain were walking behind the other
mcmbors of tim party, and Shaw and
Gentry wero talking. Shaw was
heard to say, "Wo had bettor hurry
and catch up, if we are going to have
that fuss with that follow." They
then called out to Waymon Cain to
stop, and ho did so. Cain turned
nnd was walking backwards1, and
Shaw aud Gentry approached him.
Gentry cursed him, and Cain evident
ly thought they were joking. Jo?m
Cain, brother to Waymori swore that
ho caught hold ot Ernest Gentry's
arm and that Shaw told him to turn
him aloose that there would bo no
trouble Whon he turned Gentry's
arm loose, ho walked ou up tho road..
?but as he did so. Gentry .roache;!
for his gun and started shooting. Pour
shots wore fired. Two went in thc
air,' ono in the ground and tho other
r, t ni ck Waymon Cain ia tho forehead,
penetrating the brain. The wound
in his head caused death, according
to tho ovldcnco of Dr. H. A. Pruitt.
.Mr. Jim Jackson said that it was
tho custom tu tho boys to go about
from house to house at night and pluy
and sing, dance and otherwise make
merry. This night, they had been to
tho homo of Mr. Nixon and wore re
turning when,tho difficulty occurred.
. . After tho jury had returned their
verdict, Mr. Sanders arrested Shaw
and Gentry and brought them to fatly
Thoy wero willing to como, preto.-,:
inrg their Innocence, and saying thr.t
they did not know who shot tho young
nian.
"While the affair ls deplorable," Paid
one of tho' gentlemen at the inni'c^t,
"I suppose it will put an eba to tills
party .' business. Thoro ls no ??inn
lu having our boy? run 'about the
country o very night, sometimes, drink
ing and sheeting around all.the Ihne.
It seems to mir that the Inevitable han
happened, and I have oxpeoted'it all
tho while,y
Pentecost and Armageddon.
Mr. Brynn, reproving tho president
sharply for quoting Bible' authority In
support of military preparedness, ?ayd
I'What tho World: needs today Is a
Pohtocost, not on Armageddon."
True enough. But what the-.world IA
jmvlng today Is on Armageddon, not
a. FiJitecost. The d-Vlerenco between
Mf. Bryan and Mr.. Wilson is that Mr.
Bryan wants the United States to
equi itself for tho Pentecost that wo
all wish'tho worhi was having, , whllo
Mr: Wilson wants tho United States to
?qulp Itself for the Peutccoat that we
destruction in tho .Armageddon, that
tho world actually ls having. .
Tho ?hrltsl?n festival of thc Pente

TRANSPORT SERVICE
STORY OF ll
-.London, Nov. 12.-"Frdm the point
of view of the shipping man, the whole
history of the war Us far as the trans
port BOTVICO 1B concerned ls a wick
ed story of Ignorance, ineptitude and
colossal waste," declares tho editor of
Syren and Shipping, the leading Journ
al of the shipping trade. Ho adds:
"Costly and useful ships were UBed
for mon tim Ss drlson ships. Suner
shlps like Ute Aqu'ttanla were employ
ed on scouting missions, their -mag
nificent passenger equipment gutted.
Ships were allowed to lodd cargo or
to book a full passenger Hst and then
owners were Informed that tho Ad
miralty required these boats."
An Instance ls-given of\a 7,000-ton
boat which was all ready to sail with
200 passengers when lt was taken
over and sent empty 'to .tho west coast
of South America, although it might
havo boen loaded with coal and real
ized a small fortune. Another caso
is given of a 6,000-ton boat at Hue!ve
about to load with a cargo, of iron
ore for England which ;was requisition
ed suddenly and seht empty to. the
Pacific, although, there - should huv$
been plenty of merchant.ships avail
able much nearer the desired do.st'na-:
tion.
"How loug," r-'s tho Journal, "will
tbeso methods Oe tolerated. - In tba
national interest, a.commlttee of ship
ping men .should have bei?n selected {;
.to organize the admiralty charter
ing." r
