To the Editor of the Dispatch: The citizens of our town were completely shocked on Saturday night, February 28tb, about 9 o'clock, when the report was given out that young John M. Bundrick was accidentally killed by Robert Doyle. The news quickly flashed ovu our town and regrets and expressions of sorrow and sympathy were heard on every side in behalf of both parties and their respective families. ThA killing 19 a neculiarlv sad one ? ? w O * and is greatly deplored by our people owing to the fact that the families of both parties are highly esteemed and respected. Prior to the accident, it seemed that, a drunken negro by the name of Cantey with two associates were taking the town in and in their rounds some profane language was used on the public square when /young Doyle informed the officer that the conduct of some one of these men was very unbecoming and that he (the officer) had better go and take charge of the situation. Officer Sturkie went deliberately to the place of disturbance and on seeing the party and realizing that his would be prisoner was a specimen of fine physical manhood, he pressed young Doyie in to aid him in makiDg the arrest. Cantey was arrested and he was quietly and qaickly taken to the lock-op when all present thought the matter ended and began to return to the public square, at which time two other burley negroes came to the scene of action and demanded "why and for what purpose Cantey was locked up?" Before any statement, however, could be made to them one negro flashed a pistol from his pocket which was quickly knocked from his hand to the ground by young Doyle. Officer Sturkie, still being in the guard house locking up bis prisoner was called to the door and told that a negro was there in front and a pistol had been wrenched from his hand, whereupon the officer arrested him. During some discussion with the negro, young Doyle secured a light and found the pistol in some grass nearby and at which time the negro made a break and succeeded in freeing Vmself from the officer and made a dash for liberty. By this time several people had gathered there among whom was John Bundrick and Jake Brennemer, who had a lively tussel with the negro before CARPET CO S SHOWINGS OF \.RT SQUARES, iace Curtains.

Doyle seeing the negro go under the bridge, which is near the guard bouse, fired the pistol he had knocked from the negro's hand but a few minutes before, thinking perhaps he would stop, not thinking at the time that anyone was near in the direction he was aiming. The place was surrounded and those present thought the negro mnnld ho r??rk>\nrpr1 hnt. t.n their difl appointment he had made his escape. The party returned to the scene where the scutils first took place and one man said "well, here is the negro's hat," another said, "I have his necktie," and still another said, "here is another hat." Upon this discovery the question ar^se "where is John Bundnck?" This must be his hat!" exclaimed Doyle and maybe I have killed him, when D. J. Doug las replied, "yes, I thought that I heard something fall in the ditch." Whereupon search with a lighted lantern was made and to their surprise John Bundrick was lying across the stream dead. Upon examination it was found that a pistol ball had entered hie head behind the right ear. Doyle was completely unnerved and wept bitterly over his act. The community was utterly shocked and saddened from the cries of the parents when the sad news was made known to them. Both of these young men were the very best of friends and if anything existed between them it was not generally known to the public. Bundrick's body was moved to his j father's home and the Coroner was I notified to come at once and hold the | icqueBfc. In the meantime Magistrate Merchant had his Deputy to empanel a jury so the remains could be examined. After Dr. J. W. Sandel had made the examination, the iurv was dismissed till o'clock Sanday a. m., to meet the Coroner and hear the evidence. The Coroner being on hand the jury assembled on the ground floor of the Maeonic temple and the following witnesses were examined: Dr. J. W. Sandel, Jake Brennemer, Quit Goyden, Officer Storkie, D. J. Douglas and Bobert Doyle. J. J. Earle, Esq , an attorney for the town of Brookland, being present, made a few remarks as to the evidence as bad been given in and the jury after a short time rendered the following verdict: 14We, the jury. And that John Bundrick came to his death by a gun shot wound in the hands of Robert Doyle, while firing at an eseaped prisoner in the dark." The deceased was a young man 22 years old and had a host of friends. He leaves to mourn his untimely death a loving wife, devoted father, mother, brothers and sisters. He was a consistent member of the K. of P., and carried an insurance of $1,000 00 in the endowment rank of that order, also an insurance in the Virginia Life Insurance Co.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Pleaee allow me space in your columns which are generally read throughout the county, for the following report: The Executive Committee of the Lexington Baptist Association met on December 29, 1902, in answer to a call of the chairman of the said board. Those present were: D. J. Knotte, chairman, Kev. Joab Edwards, J. G. Fallaw, and C. H. Corbitt, and transacted the following business: 1 at- P.

By unanimous consent of the committee, the following help was asked of the State mission board: For New Brookland church $350 00; Old Lexington church $50 00, and help was asked of the State board for Lexington (J. j 5. and Steadman churches, but do ' amount was specified, leaving that ! with the Corresponding Secretary and the churches. Now, my dear brethren and sisters of Lexington Association, have we asked too much? I thick net. Can the amount asked for be raised ? Most assuredly yes. Will the amount asked be raised! That will be for you, and your estimate of, and the love for the church of Christ to answer. May the Holy Spirit help and direct your answer. How can the amouDt asked for by the executive committee be raised? | A few dcz eggs, a few loads of wood, | would soon meet the demand.

And brethren and sisters, if your pastor don't get at you in dead earnest about this matter, you get at them with a red hot poker, and give them such a hot chase, that when they come your way again, they will cry aloud and spare me not, "for the demand is urgent, the necessity great," "and the cause holy".

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Mr. Bauer has been making a very bad job of the weather for our section for the past two months. He has turned out some of the most disagreeable weather we ever saw, but we hope he will adjust bis instruments and try to give us a little sun sbine. Our two daily Rural Free Delivery mail routes seem to be gaining favor with our people. Like the telephone, they meet with some opposition, but the people seem to begin to feel like they could not get along without these conveniences. Our town has recently become quite a cotton market. Our buyers are paying more than the buyers in Columbia will pay, aDd make no charge for weighing. Cjfcton today sold here for ten cents, and repeated inquiries by telephone elicited the fact that Columbia would not pay that price. Mr. and Mrs. T. A.

Though a few days late, last night the 26th, our school held patriotic exercises commemorative of Washington and our country. In appropriate dialogues and speeches the past, present and future were compared and the progress of the age in which we live depicted, and we were reminded that at the present speed of progress, if we sleep, we will one day wake up further behind the times than Rip Van Winkle was. Ail the speeches and dialogues were dei: J I - ii- - nvereu m a manner mac speaKS lasting praises for our teachers, and showe that our boys and girls only need culture to place them on equal footing with those of any community as men and women of the future. Our teachers, Miss Mamie E. Crooks and Miss Maggie Lowman, furnished the music on Mr. H. A. Lorick's fine new piano. Rev. J. L. Ray assisted in conducting the exercises. All acquitted themselves so well that we would deem it unjust to make special mention of any. We say well done both teachers and pupils and may you continue to press forward with a full determination to keep apace with the progress of this wonderful age and may at least some of our boys and gilrls stand among the first as the inventors, authors and lawyers of the future.
