Branchville, April 6.?It is reported here tonight that Willie Redish, living near Williams, in Colleton county, was shot and almost instantly killed by Jim Price, of thesame section, this afternoon. It is alleged that Price insulted Redish's sister, and when he, Redish, went to investigate his brains were shot out by Price. Public opinion is very much against Price, and if caught in that section he might be dealt with severely. It is thought that he took the train here this afternoon, but it is not known to be a fact. The party bought a ticket here for Jacksonville, Fla, going by way of Blackville. Pointed Paragraphs. The nearer you get to a dollar the smaller it looks. Judge men by what they do, not by what they promise to do. Better a dollar bill in the hand than two due bills in the pocket. It is unlucky to come home hungry and find a black cat in the pantry. A wrinkle worries a woman almost as much as a bald spot worries a! man. And some men have the knack of appearing smaller as you get closer to them. The Court Warned. "Bill, old boy," said the prisoner to the justice, "I want you to pay partiekler attention while I'm a-makmg of this here statement." Don't address the court as 'Bill,' rir," said the justice, "or I'll fine you for contempt." "That's all right, William," replied file prisoner, "we wuz growed up together an' I reckon, you feel as dignified as a alligator on a log in a mill pond up thar, but ef you decide this - > ease agin me, Lord help you when I ketch you in the middle o' the road. Go on with your proceedings." The Colleton Killing. From what we have been able to i learn, the killing of Willie Redish by Jim Price in Colleton county last Saturday aiternoon seems to nave been a cold-blooded murder. Both are young white men, and were born and raised in the same community, and both were married men. It came from Branchville that Price while drunk had gone to the home of Redish's mother and insulted them and possibly attempted to{ rape the young lady. Later he went back and cursed them. That they told young Redish of the second visit of Price but not of the first, and that when he approached Price in regard to the cursing of his mother and sister, that he did not knofr that Price's conduct had been so much worse when he first went to the house. That as soon as he asked Price why he had cursed his relatives, Price replied that he had cursed them and would do him worse, pulling his pistol instantly and shooting him, the ball taking effect between the eyes and killing Redish instantly, his brains oozing I from the wound. We cannot vouch for the truth of this story, but it was common talk in Branchville where Price went to take the train, and where a constable and possibly others followed to arrest him. It seems he was carried to Branchville in a buggy immediately after the killing by his brother. Certain it is that there was much feeling against him in the community where the crime was committed, and if he had been caught by the crowds out searching for him he would have been lynched. One traveler going along the road to Branchville Saturday night said he was held up five times by parties out looking for Price. Price was seen at Branchville Saturday afternoon by a gentleman from this town and also on the train gpoing to Blackville. This gentleman informs us that Price was drunk, and told him he had killed a man but he paid no attention to him, thinking it was not true. Price told him he was on his way to Florida because of the killing. ^ New Advertisements. _ T. J. Pooser & Bro.?Photograph tiallery. Theodore Kohn?New Goods at Old Prices. * F. W.

White Brakeman Shot and Killed by Drunken Negro. Rock Hill, April 7.?The body of young Loyd Millen, who was shot and instantly killed by a negro, near Rutherford ton, N. C., was brought here last night and prepared for burial. This morning it was conveyed on a special train to the home of the stricken parents, at Riverside, and laid to rest in Shiloh graveyard. The story of the killing as told here by trainmen is substantially as follows: Some drunken negroes boarded the train, which was in charge of Conductor McGuire, at Marion, N. C., and before coming /^/\Tirr? tVia rnofl n TfkW xoi uuvva tuv v* AW... Young Millen and others of the crew succeeded in quieting the fuss and in this Millen was slightly cut by a knife in the hands of one of the negroes. This negro was ejected from the train. A little later on when Capt. McGuire came into the car, followed, as is usual, by his brakeman, Loyd Millen, one of the negroes began some threatening 4aHc,' directed toward Millen, and, when the latter told him to keep quiet, rose up with a pistol in his hand and pointed it at Millen. Capt. McGuire, who was between the negro and Millen, knocked up the former's hand and the bullet went wild. In a moment the negro transferred the pistol to his other hand and fired over the conductor's shoulder, killing Millen instantly. ? The negro fired several shots after the brakeman was down and snapped his pistol at Capt. McGuire, who finally took it away from him. There was great excitement among j the trainmen and spme of the hotheaded ones wanted to drag the murderer behind their train, but cooler counselors prevailed and the law will be allowed to take its course. Young Millen was very popular with his companions and bore a good reputation. It is believed by some that the killing was premeditated, and it is said that the negroes up there when they get a grudge against a trainman tank up on mean TErhielr^ra onH KnorH OAT'S Tlist for the purpose of raising a row and being enabled to do damage under cover of hot blood. WHITE riAN KILLS NEQRO. Negro Was Beating His Wife and the White Man Interfered. Rock Hill, April 8?Fred Barnett a negro man, was shot by Beaufort Sturges, a young white farmer living near here, Sunday morning about 2 o'clock. The negro died some time Sunday night and Sturges came to town this morning and surrendered. From the circumstances it would seem that the killing was entirely jnstifiable and that Sturges will be released on bond as soon as the preliminaries can be complied with. The facts are substantially these: The negro, who was a tenant of Sturges, got into a row with his wife Sunday morning and was beating her. She woman raised a terrible outcry and her yells of murder, etc., awoke Sturges, who dressed, took his pistol and went out to investigate. When he attempted to make uarneu stop, the negro quit beating the woman and cursed Sturges, for interfering, drawing a knife and advancing upon him. Sturges warned him not to come on him, and when Barnett continued to advance Sturges shot him. The bullet went into his lungs and after lingering some hours he died. Barnett bore a bad reputation for fighting and was really considered a desperate character. It is said that he has been shot three times before this. Killings in Chester County. Chester, ApriL 3.?The vicinity of Fort Lawn seem# to be of late the "dark and bloody ground" of Chester county. On Sunday night Bob Crockett, a negro, shot and almost instantly killed a negro woman named Laura Hunt. An eye witness of the affair reports the killing as deliberate and malicious. The Crockett negro was arrested and has been committed to jail here. Near the same place, on the same night, Dick Anderson, colored, shot and seriously wounded a negro woman, Amelia Watson. The shooter is at large. Following Orders. Admiral Sigsbee, in a recent after ? i # ii _ i ? [ dinner speecn, said 01 me navai virtue of obedience: "Yet even obedience may be carried too far.

SMOAK ^ ?3 j PARTS STONE BEARD, Wright insists on Having His Whiskers Right on Tombstone. BARBER'S BILL IS $403. Wealthiest Man In Putnam, Conn., Dreams He Cannot Enter Heaven Unless His Graveyard Bust Looks More Like Him. Because he dreamed that he could uot enter heaven unless with his beard parted on the bust on his $1,500 monument Phineas Gardner Wright, said to be the wealthiest man in Putnam. Conn., has had a sculptor trim the stone whiskers at an expense of $400. Wright, who is a bachelor, seventyeight years old, erected the monument on his family plot in Grove cemetery three years ago. It attracted much attention because of the line he had inscribed upon the granite shaft just below his bust "Going, but know not where." At the same time he had an immense grave dug and bricked up, he said, so that the earth would not crowd him and he would have enough room in which to turn over and move about and with flat stones at the base so that he could not sink. "Them's true words," said Wright referring to the odd inscription, "but there ain't many folk whafs got the honesty or the courage to say the same thing." A short time ago Wright took the notion of having a gas pipe placed in the ground above his grave so that there would be no difficulty in finding the flat stone cover, but he concluded that people would think he was trying to get air after he had been buried, so he is having a five foot stedl flagstaff, with a banner bearing his name, made to take its place. He has placed demijohns of gin and whisky in the erave so that he will not be lonely. Wright's mother and sister are buried ji the plot and their names, birth and leath dates, with those of his father, who died at Stockton, Cal., In 1849 while gold hunting, are inscribed on the monument. .Wright was born at Fitzwilliam, N. H., April 3, 1829, and two years later his parents came to Connecticut. They were poor, and ? ? ? *r?v T*ro mAinxynnirn MTSL iWK4B Vi< WlKlUB'i* ah 1/ "iri avjuju&wm young Wright had to work hard. He says he broke his first earth for the air line railroad. Then he carried die hod for 75 cents a day. After many years he got ahead by buying lumber. He retired ten years ago after he had amassed a fortune of $125,000, invested mostly in real estate and mortgages. Wright says he was disappointed in love forty years ago, am he has written reams of poetry on the perfidy of woman. He has provided that after his death this additional Inscription shall be placed upon his monument: ">Never beat by man, but by woman." Wright lives in a plain house with a niece, Miss Etta Crane, twenty years old, daughter of William Crane, a Hartford manufacturer. She does the housework, shaves him, cuts his hair and washes his face and hands. She owns a $4,500 farm at Ellington, and Wright has made a will leaving all to her except $2,000 to the Putnam Congregational church, because his mother attended it, and $2,000 to the Putnam hospital. An old monument, costing $000, which the present one displaced, be bas oirerea to the city for a soldiers' monument bnt It bas not been accepted. Wright's occupation Is given In the Putnam dty directory as "having no business but to mind bis own." Threw 8hoes at Congregation. Daniel Bowers, son of Jacob Bowers, said to be a wealthy farmer of Chester county, Pa., created a panic during die services in Grace Lutheran church. Entering the pulpit he removed his overcoat and hat and tossed them at the foot of the pulpit Then he took off his overshoes and flung them across the church. Calmly facing the thunderstruck congregation, he stood with his arms folded. Services were suspended. and it required the efforts of a policeman and several others to get him to the lockup. Physicians declared him demented. Cremationists Dance to Buy Urns. The Waterbury (Conn.) branch, No. 32, of the Cremation Association of America gave a dance the other night to provide for a sinking fund. At the conclusion of the festivities it was announced enthusiastically by the presi dent that enough cash had been taken in at the door to transform half a dozen members into ashes and buy them fancy urns besides. The announcement was received with cheers. The association will keep on dancing until the future welfare of all the members bas been provided for. ' w .": * -.
