The Sabbath school at Abingdon is In fine working order and well attended, with fair prospects of a still larger attendance In the future. We hope that the various Sabbath schools in this coun ty will resolve at once to form a coun ty (interdenominational) convention and go to work to carry it into effect and that everybody interested in the cause will, as Mr. Tullar says, “Keep sweet.” We had the pleasure of meeting our old friend and comrade, Mr. W.

Clem son College, April 8.—In re«- MURDER AT YORKVILLE- Row a Barber Shop Last Saturday Resulted in a Tragedy. As a result of a shooting scrape in a negro barber shop at Yorkville Sat urday afternoon at 5 o’clock, John Warlick is dead, his brother Jeff is painfully, though not seriously, wound ed and Lawrence Marley is in jail charged with murder. All these are young white men. The exact facts connected with the occurrence are not available at this time, as state ments secured from various persons supposed to know conflict; but the most generally repeated story follows: Lawrence Marley, John, James and Jeff Warlick were in the barber shop when Marley and John Warlick, be tween whom it is said bad blood pre viously existed, because involved in a quarrel, when Warlick applied a vile epithet to Marley. The latter left the shop and shortly afterwards returned and asked Warlick if he meant to say he (Marley) was so and so. Warlick repeated the epithet and made for Marley, using his fist freely, and at this juncture the latter drew a pistol and commenced to shoot. When he finished four (shots had been fired and John Warlick lay dying and Jeff was supposed to be mortally wound ed. John Warlick was shot either through or in the region of the heart and through the bowels and was dead in less than fifteen minutes after re ceiving the wound. Jeff Warlick whs shot in the side, the ball being sub sequently extracted by Dr. Kell, and through the fleshy part of the arm. John Warlick, the dead man, re cently finished serving a short term in the penitentiary, having been con victed for beating an old and com paratively helpless Confederate sold ier in a most brutal manner. He should have had, it is said, not less than five years and unfortunately for him did not get it. The Warlick boys, when they work at all, wprked in the cotton mills. Marley is a house painter by trade and a son of a respectable and well- thought-of family living near town. It s said that Marley secured the pis tol with which he did the shooting when he left Warlick after the first quarrel. It is a 44-calibre six-shot Colts.
