Tuesday's Homicide.
Further Particulars of the Killing
of Alec McGriff by his
Stepfather, Andrew Ander
son?The JUatter now in
Jail.
Andrew Anderson, the old negro
who killed his stepson,
Alexander McGriff, last Tues
day afternoon, on Col. Springs's
Wade place, as published in
Wednesday's issue of The Nkws,
was arrestee! and lodged in jail
Tuesday night by Sheriff Hunter.
He made no effort to escape.
Coroner Caskey held an inquest
over the dead negro the same
night.
McGriff, it seems, who lived
on Mr. Jack Williams's place,
had been to the river bottoms
after a load of hay and stopped
at his stenfAt.lipr'o linmo
1 - ? >IV
two men, Jt is said, began quarreling,
Anderson accusing Mc
Griff of causing trouble between
himself and his wife, who is the
mother of McGrilF. The old
man, we are told, claims that
McGrilF threatened to "brain"
him with an ear of corn, whereupon
he discharged his gun,
which he had in his hand, not
for the purpose of killing McGrilF
but in order to scare him.
The load, however, struck McGrilF
in the head, killing him I
almost instantly.
McGriff, though a young man,
was in very good circumstances,
having accumulated some prop
erty. ,
? Midshipman Branch was

here thi* morning in annual

over by the retiring mod
erator, Rev. S. VV. Reid, of the

a plain yet striking dissertation
in which the church, as subordinate
to the head which is
Christ, was compared with the
members of the physical body
which are subordinate to the
head.
Alter the sermon the retiring
moderator declared the Synod in
session and called to the chair
the new moderator, Rev. H. B.
Blakely, of Troy, S. C., who
made a happy speech, thanking
the body lor the honor conlerred
upon him. Rev. D. Li. Bonner,
