Whituker, of this city, was shot and killed at Bodkins station on the Southern railroad nbout ten miles below Camden by J. Kd. Gil lie. The Camden correspondent of the Columbia State give* the follow ing account of the unfortunate oc currence : . > "The two men bad had some trouble some time ago aboa^borae fire which Whituker obaggwl Gillie with setting out on th^ plantation of Mrs. M B. Haile, hie mother-in law, which was in Whitafcer's charge. It seomed that themat ter wag at nn end however, until this afternoon when Whitaker metUillie and hie father on the Camden road. The trouble was renewed but no thing happened until the men reached Boy kin stfittonr Here Whitaker c*Ued to Mr. W,,\, Boy. kin, who rues a etore there, and told him of the trouble atd at the saipe time eugge'sted that they tarn over their pistols to Ulm and flght it out fairly. It was at this junc ture, while he wae about to pass the piatol to Bovlun, that the younger GUHs flred on him, the ball penetrating hit body above the heart and causing death in a few minutes. The elder Gillie wae armed but dld^Jot sjjoot, Whita ker did not shoot. The latter was about 25 yeare of age and leaves a young wife. Gillie, is a naa about 30 yeare old and ie also married. Both were well known *nd proa? peroue farmers. The aecondliomcoide ooourred on Sunday G. M. Cameron, a sec tion foreman on the Seaboard Air Line rsi.road, shot and killed Isaac Thome, a well known Camden negro; at Sheppard, a station about six miles above here on the Seaboard Air tilne railroad. We learn that the cauep whfch led u p to f he ehoot ing wae' chlckene trespassing on Thorne's land. Both Gillie and Cameron sur* rendered and are now in jail. On Sunday aflernoon Sherriff Trauthaqa arretted Mr. J. A . Oil* Ha, lather of Ed. Gillie, aa an ao< peesory to the killing of Mr. Whit* aker. It ta said that Hon.

The state reunion of Confederate veterans in Charleston promises' to be one of the largest and most sue* cessful up to this time. The rail roads will allow a round trip rate of 'one cunt a mile. It is probable that the dates for the reunion will bo 'changed from May 17- 18* 19, on acoount of the oonfliot with the State Deraocralio .convention. There wa? no intention to have the oonfliot and as the date of the state convention cannot be ohanged the reunion dates mu%t be altered if the oonf|iot is not to lake plauc. A Greeting ol the committee will be ht-ld in a few days to aob upon the CD &116T f o Meeting of Camp Richard Kirk land.
