A confusion o: names mixed tilt name of .Mr. J. F. McCraney of ihej Dillon Live Siack Co., with a minder mystery in Jacksonville, Fla.. but I Mr. Crancy of Sillon is very much 1 alive and loolis like auvthing else1 but a dead milk T.he loilo\vin0 is|< taken from Monday's State: "J. W. McKaa, thought to be a for-! mer citizen of Columbia and to have' a daughter liviifg in this city. \vas| shot through the head and killed in; Jacksonville Friday night, according' to advices reaching this city yester-li f day. Murdock McCraney, fireman at en-1 gine house No. 1, received a tele-! gram from H. Lillenthal, an under- i taken of Jacksonville, wsicn saia > that J. W. McKaa had been murdered Friday night and Mr. McCraney was requested to notify relatives of Mr. : McKaa. It seems that the undertaker i had been informed that Mr. McCran- ' ey would probably be able to find relatives of the dead man, hence his wire. Mr. McCraney at once answered' the undertaker to the effect that he! did not know the man. Fireman McCraney has a brother;: named J. F. McCraney, who conducts i a stable in Dillon. Thinking that perhaps he was the man referred to < by the Jacksonville detective, he telgraphed the Jacksonville officer informing him of his brother's name. The reply received was to the effect : that the man killed was a night i watchman at the Clyde docks. ThenL the Columbia fireman telegraphed a; friend, Bert Pearson, who lives ini T?ji->tcnnvilif> tn find nut who the slain n man was. Mr. Pearson telegraphed! Mr. McCranev that the man's nann , was J. W. McKaa, that he was killed' at the docks, that he was 65 years! of age and that his home was in Co-j lumbia. Mr. Pearson also said that j Mr. McKaa had a daughter living) in Columbia. Fireman McCraney's brother in) Dillon is much youuger than 65' years, as he felt assured that the; slain man was not his brother. Mr. Is McCraney does not know who the! daughter of Mr. McKaa is and is!) anxious to locate her so that he may 1 inform her of the Jacksonville mes-' sa ge. 1 Efforts made last night to locate'' relatives of Mr. McKaa were un-| availing." ? o * GREAT LAYMAN'S MEETING AT ! ^ FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The Laymen's Meeting for the Pee Dee Association held last Sun- , day afternoon at the First Baptist church of Dillon was a success in every way. This service had been planned by the pastor of the church and was endorsed by the Association in its recent session and made an associational matter. The church was filled with laymen from all parts of the associational territory, nearly all the churches being represented and some by large delegations. The congregation overflowed to the galleries and it was said that it was the largest which had ever gathered in the church. The ? "ding was the first of its kind and .s necessarily largely of an inspirational nature, but at its r.inoo tVio lavmpn nresent decided to make it an annual affair and in ad-: dition appointed a committee of sev-j. en consisting of J. H. David, J. R. Reaves. J. W. LeGrande, J. R. Bivens, A C. S. Evans, R. J. Blackwell and C. ? A. Carmichael to decide upon a time, arrange for the next meeting, and consider the advisability of undertaking work of an intensive character, and if so to plan its details, and put it into operation. The addresses of the occasion were delivered by Mr. C. B. Bobo of Laurens, S. C.. President of the South Carolina baptist State Convention, "The Layman as a Soul Winner," and by Judge Gilbert T. Stephenson, of Winston-Salem, N. C., on "Christian Trusteeship." Both addresses were very fine; and made a splendid impression. Both of these gentlemen addressed the congregation of the church at the morning service. Mr. Bobo speaking on the "Layman as a Soul Winner," and Judge Stephenson on "The j Manliness of Being an Avowed! Christian." All in all it was a goodL day for the church and the Association, and greatly enjoyed by those present. It is planned to have a good representation from this Association to the State Laymen's Meeting next spring. o SENTENCED TO OWN JAIL. Conducts Campaign Through Bars! and Beats Judge. j.

C.. kill* d one of the young men. John Ford, of Lincolton, N. C.. dragged the girls front the automobile into the woods and assaulled them, and made their escape, according to telephone messages to the Charlotte, police department. Late tonight Charlotte police of-1' ficers. with a posse of ofiicers and armed citizens of Gaston county] were scouring the countryside in search of the negroes, who were be-lteved however, to have hade the ir1 escape on a passing freight train.1' Feeling was said to be intense. The two young women were taken! to a Gastonia hospital, where it was! said late tonight their condition is!' serious. Their homes are in Gastonia. I1 The two young men, John Ford and' Ransom Killian. both of Lincolnton.l were said to be unarmed when at- j tacked by the negroes. Killian was not injured. Ford was shot and J instantly killed when he offered re-!; sistance to the negroes in their at-!1 tempt to take the girls from the au-' tomobile, according to the report re-!1 ccived here.

Nov. 8?Posses are ; searching for the two negroes who killed John Ford, of Liner-lnton, and attacked the two girls who were his companions, after holding up an antomobile three miles from here yesterday. o 11 DEATH OF FORD ! I NOT CLEARED FP.i No Solution Found for North Caro-'1 lina Tragedy. Gastonia,N. C., Nov. 8?After a i night and day of investigation and ' search, officers late tonight were ap naronilv nowhere near a solution of 1 *?' me mysterious tragedy enacted three | miles irom here last night when Juo. Ford a well, connected young man of Lincolnton, N. C., was shot to death and a young womau of Gas-, tonia, was probably fatally woundid, while on an automobile ride with Hansom Killian of Lincolnton and , another young woman of Gustonia. j, No arrests have been made. i, Officers returned tonight from j Blacksburg. S. C., where they went,, today to investigate a report thati, two negroes had been arrested there |' on suspicion of implication in the!, crime. The report proved unfound-l ed and the officers returned without I new information. They were accompanied by Hansom Killian, who was taken along to identify the negroes reported held there. Excitement which was high last night, greatly subsided today and in- ! terest centered in the account of the alleged holdup and killing as given by young Killian, at the coroner's! inquest. He said that while the four J were riding out toward Bessemer City, they stopped and Ford and onc,; young woman got out of the car and, walked out of sight, while the wit-! ness and the other remained in the automobile. After a few minutes, a negro approached from the woods, ( held him up at the point of a pistol and robbed him of a few dollars, ' firing his revolver three times, one!, of the bullets striking the young wo-j man. About the same time other I Khnts were heard in the direction!1 Ford and the other girl had gone! and a second negro approached andj said he had shot the other man j "down yonder." At this point Kil-'1 lian's testimony was interrupted by 1 the officers who took him to Black-, burg. The shooting is said to have occurred about 7:30 p. m., but it wasl; not reported until nearly 10 o'clock when Killian and the girls brought the body of Ford to the city. City council in session tonight offered a reward of $500 for the arrest of the guilty parties or evidence leading to conviction. Coroner W. N. Davis jury adjourned late tonight after an all day; hearing, without having completed its investigation. The inquest will be resumed Tuesday. o STOLE FOltD TOURING. vruervu mr ni uuw x im- uuu ed Sheriff's Suspicious. A young white man was lodged in jail Saturday charged with stealing a Ford touring car from a Fair Bluff citizen. The man was at a local garage offering the car for $200.00. but as the car was almost new the bystanders were suspicious and would not take hint up. One bystander noticed that his sign was missing and asked him where it was. He said i' dropped off while he was crossing a swamp between Dillon and .Mnllins and be got out, picked it up and put under the seat. Asked how lie beard the sign drop when the car was running he failed to make an itite|lig< rit answer and moved off up street.' Sheriff Lane heard about the ear ;tnd| started toward tb(. young man with the remark that he was the man In was "looking for." Tin- fellow jump ed out of the car and started to run away, but the sheriff grabbed him. and put him in jail. Owners of the] rar were found in Fair IJluff. , TltAITOKS iillAVE OPENED.

There w,is some little xciiomen in Dillon .Monday when it becam Known thai a body ol men stylin themselves "Xight-liiders" had visi td several colored homes Saturda and Sunday night and left cards ad vising them to go 10 the cotton field Monday morning. The cards tixei the price of short staple picking a 11 per 100 and the long staple a 11.50 per luO. The cards aiso lixe Saturday as wash day and at the ho: tons was signed "Night-Riders froti the old north State." It is said the cards were left a several homes Saturday and Sunda nights between the hours of 11 an< 12 o'clock. The visitors came in an tomobiles and departed as quietly a they came. So far as could be learne there were no demonstrations. Th automobiles drove up to the house the party was called out and handei a card and the "night-riders" lef without saying anything. Naturally, the affair caused quit a lot of discussion and throughou Monday there was some little excite ment among the colored population Some of them were ready to dispos of their belongings and leave on th next train, while others took it a a joke and proceeded to work. Mon day afternoon a meeting composed o the representative citizens of th community was held at court hous and passed resolutions disapprovin the activities of the night-riders am the methods they are pursuing. By Tuesday morning the negroe who had given up their work wit] the expectation of leaving town re turned to work and the situation be came normal once more. So far a can be learned, cotton pickers ar ready to pick at an agreed price whether it is a dollar or twice tha much, .but when they are offerei more than a dollar a hundred the sav thev thev cannot he evnected ti refuse it. Reports from many sections sa; there were many pickers in the field Tuesday and if the present gooi weather lasts a short while longo the bulk of the crop will have bee; fathered. o STOLE BONDS AND MONEY. Robbers entered the home of Han nah Page, an industrious colorei woman living near town, last wee! and stole liberty bonds and mono, valued at $600.00. There is no clu to the robbers but it is thought tha it was some one who knew some thing about the premises or wa aware of the fact that the money am bonds were concealed in the houst The loss falls heavily on Hannah wh in a hard working woman, as th bonds and money represent the sav ings of years. The robbery should serve to remim people that it is dangerous to concea money, bonds or other valuable around the house. Money and bond should be placed in the bank. Th banks have burglar proof vaults an they carry burglar insurance. It rol bers should enter a hank and steal al the money in the vault the bank i protected because it is insure against loss. It is a habit with sum people to conceal money around th premises when times get a little hart This is the very time they should pu it in the bank. The money is put i circulation and does the comtnunit some good, and again robberie are more frequent when money i aictue ( i 1(111 w iit'll 11 piejliuili. o John Henry lift lien's Trial Tomorrow The case of John Henry Bother the nepro who phot and killed Deput Sheriff J.

( I tried and the next morning shot by < p| survivors of the regiment which he : p'had betayed. Other versions are. for 1 s the most part, only variations of this i _ story. f The body of the officer was buried < ei at Remenoville in what came to be i pi known as the "accused corner."

That discovery set Luneville h |to wondering and several persons re-, y i called having seen the mysterious wo-1 i J man in black sitting by the Wolff!i ^ I grave and the next afternoon a resident of a neighboring village met aj n woman in heavy mourning carrying | a willow basket down the road.
