Chester, .lone MO. ?Will Hodgepath shot and killed Sidney Lloyd here this afternoon about 4 o'clock. Both are young white men. Hedgopath is chief constabio at Eureka mill village. Lloyd was an operative in the mill and was only 28 years of ago. It is reported a big row was on in which one or two women arc interested. Hedgepath got Lloyd on the run and chased him nearly a mile, killing him near Senator Glenn's home, over in East Chester. Three shots were tired, two taking effect in the head and one in the left hand. Lloyd was shot while running, which would make it appear that he was fleeing from justice and that the constable was justified in tho killing. Another report, however, says the constable was in the mix-up and was an gry and shot JLloyd in the back. There is all kind of talk going the rounds, hut the fact will bo brought out tomorrow morning at the coroner's inquest. Undertaker Joseph Walker has taken Lloyd's body in charge. Constable Hedgepath is in the hands of the sheriff. The Beat Prcacriplion for Matorui Chills and Fever is a bottle of Grove'H Tasteless Chill Tonic.

Services were just over when a strong gust of wind came, 1 causing cracking sounds in the < structure that created a stampede 1 in the congregation, some making their exit through the windows, 1 The building did not give way and fall, hut was left slightiy leaning 1 in the direction the wind blew. The flashes of lightning were very ' vivid and the incessant roaring of 1 thunder and loud detonations were ' terrifying." ' The above item is from the Lan- y caster Ledger. We are surprised 1 at the conduct of the Seceders in 1 this emercrencv. It was fnronr. n ? dained that nobody would be hurt and the people would have been as safe m the church as out of it. j Jumping out of a window showed t a lack of faith.

Kimtor ?In answer to' the (pies ion propounded by Mr. Belk to thj candidates for the of- I tico of County Supervisor I have this to say: I know you all like a promising man -of some kind, Ixit I am not g?ing to make you any promises 1 cannot fulhl, just to get you to swallow me down, clothes and all. This road cp cation is un interesting problem. It is not only engaging the attention of statesmen, hut even perplexing tlieoninds of candidates forCounty Supervisor?in just how to keep in the road that will get them the most votes. !f elected, I will take advantage of every means in my power to improve the public roads of the County, doing the very best I can to have the overseers put in as many days as may be neces-iurv to accomplish this purpose. And futlierniorc, I propose to agnate and keep up agitation on this subject until we see'some definite movement ln?the direction of good roads. To do this, we need, not only individual influence but organized effort. This is an uge of organization, und any business tbat ignores it, or fails to avail itself of its advantages will, and must suffer from sucb neglect. We need a County Koads'Improvement Association. Every man knows nnd appreciates tbe difference between individual influence and crgauized influence? tbe voice of one and the voice of many. Mr. Hoik says something about the road law, its defectiveness, 1 believe. There may be some objectional features in the luw, but we can nevm* eradicate the wrong or incorpora'e iho right until our people taken deeper interest in the matter. Good county roads are not only desirable, but are absolutely necessary to the growth and devel opment of any community, and just now, the influences which arc f>eing brought to bear to conO ? vinee us of the necessity of better public roads are so many aud so wiue-spread that we cannot fail to realize that the public demand is for improved means of communication. Then, let us help one mother and put the ball in modon, and keep it rolling aud we will soon succeed in getting the V# P? .vagons out of the oldtimo ruts in ' .vhieh they have been running so < ong. Respectfully submitted, I L. J.

But since the politicians i lave not seen fit to trust this mat- i er to the voters, they, of course, I ire not especially interested in the 1 xi!>ting condition, and the politi i :ians have 110 reasonable ground ' or complaint.?Yorkville En ' [uirtr ( U>>pn (heCintffli anrl Work* off the t f oUl.

I I Special to The Daily N"e<*-s. Marion, S. C., Juuo 27.--The senatorial campaign again open*d up in the opera house here today. The weather wan exceedingly j warm. The crowd was again at j tentive and intelligent about 2.">0 being present. Some of Marion's fair daughters graced the occasion with their presence. Hon. C. A. Woods, county chair man, presided and made some very complimentary remarks concerning the groat intelligence of j the candidates. i Col. Elliott made a hit by turning a joke to his own advantage. lie says his claim, as shown by Johnstone, is the on'y one which has any ground under it. Colonel Elliott is showing up well. The candidates thrashed over the same old straw. Evans again | received a bunch of beautiful flowors. The candidates again spoke well , and Evans and Latimer had a squally time. Latimer in the course of his speech, said no man could put bis band on any point in bis career where he had not been , faithful to the interests of the people. Evaus accepted the challenge and read a letter written by Dr. J. William Stokes, in which Stokes charged Latimer with distributing free passes among members of Congress and with seeding bis farm with seed from Washington at the expense of the government and with tending him (Stokes) an annual pass over the Great Trunk Lino railroad which he returned.. Latimer replied that Stokes was a candidate for the*. United States senate when he wrote that letter. Latimer says he got the railroad company to give free transportation to a party from congress including Republican leaders to Due West to heur Bryan's speech, also to a party to attend tho exposition. Lattlefield, a prominent Republican, who favored the Crunipacker bill < before this visit, worked against i it after his return to Washington, i tho secretary of agriculture want' < ed to make experiments with grasses, and Latimer.said hefurn- I ished the land, the manuro and ] tne labor, aad the secretary furnished the seed for the, experiments. ' i The seed raised on his farm was I distributed anion" farmers' I throughout the country. He j denied that he ever sent a pass to : Dr. Stokes and says he can tell|t the truth as well as anybody 1 sine. A great deal of feeling was displayed on both sides, and so 1 closed the incident for this time. The candidates leave for Dillon this evening. D. S.
