BAUKNIGHT, ?l^/Y, H. ?J. OCONFF, Il AS ANOTHER MURDER. Negro Killed Near Oakwny-Two Ne groes Ululer Arrest. Hast Sunday night near Oakway. this county, Jim Allen, colored, was killed, and on Monday morning [?Tunk Patterson and Have Jenkins, both negroes, were lodged In jail charged with the murder. Allen was stabbed to death, and it ls stat ed that each bf the two negroes in Jail claims that tho other did the killing. The murder is tho outgrowth ol" a drunken spree engaged in by the three negro men, and Hiero were no witnesses to the affray except tho participants. One of the men in jail staled that the three had gone out to the woods near where the killing oc curred to get whiskey; and that as they returned, all drinking, a quar rel was started and \|hat Patterson was struck hy Allen with a rall. From this, they say, a general row was precipitated, with the result that Allon was loft on the "battlefield" for dead. An Inquest was bold by .Magistrate Kubanks Monday morn ing, but Hie Undings of thc jury have not boen made known here. Jenkins is just back from Green ville, where he was tried at the re cent torin of Federal court on Hie charge of selling liquor. He came (dear of the charge, however, and was absent from the Oconee jail but a week or ton days. The ease will probably be hoard at tho approaching term of General Sessio Court for Oconee. Many hool children suttor from const I patton, which is often Hie cause of seeming stupidity at lessons.

Mr. Ballengor had been In had health for six months or more, and the end had been dally expected for a couple of weeks. He was 49 years old on October 2Otb. Having spent his life In this community, he was well known by everybody, and his genial, sunny dis position won for him many friends, who deeply sympathize with those so sorely bereaved on account of his de parture, lt ls sad to think that wo shall not see his smiling face*, meet and welcome the warm hand clasp and the friendly greetings again lu this life.

Sllverfrlend, attempted to unseal the tomb, but before this was accomplish ed both were deprived of their rea son and died before they could be taken lo an asylum. Sllverfrlend ls prominent In the Koreshnn colony In Estero county, Florida. He said thal Dr. Teed had not yet risen, but members of the cult were confident he would come forth as their messiah in due time. The Bristol Koreshnn colony was abandoned shortly after Dr. Teod's death. gan their usual occupation, making coffee in abundance around the old family fireplace. A long table was erected 1 i the yard and was loaded with good things to eat. After din ner there was enough left on tho ta ble to feed a large number again. In the afternoon all broke Into par lies and took a walk down by the old cemetery and to view the new steel bridge.

Coming Amusements-Hoys Practic ing ut Truck Running'-Locals. Seneca, Nov. 1.-Special: The (lower show opens to-day at noon, i and a big crowd is expected. The \ chrysanthemums will possibly not at- . tain the perfection which has hlth- , cito characterized exhibits hore on , account of thc freeze. Dozens of ? gorgeous blooms were Sacrificed last . Saturday night, and tho prospect , with some of the largest dower growers was very gloomy. Yet a number were cut and housed, so lt is thought there will bo a creditable display. Hoses are also badly In- , jured, but it wns thought best by , the committee to hold tho show , against all these discouragements, and so the annual (lower show goes on. On the 8th of this month the Hos ton Lyrics will entertain the public at the school auditorium. Flavol R. , Jordon, soloist, Miss Bertha Wills, reader and entertainer, and Miss Carolyn Jordon, accompanist, com pose the cast, and if the press ls to be relied upon for endorsement, the entertainment, will prove a rare treat. A new instrument, the Ma rtmbaphone, will be used in the program, and there will also be recitations, humorous and other wise, cartoons, postal readings, solos, duets, etc. A delightful evening is assured all who attend. A tent show ls billed for Friday night-"Tho Broken Arrow." It ts thought to be on the Wild West ol der and will doubtless draw a large crowd. Sonera was represented at Ring ling Bros. shows, both In Greenville and Anderson. The next attraction at the audito rium will he a lecture by Dr. Steele, who will appear hore tho 21st in stant. Dr. Steele conies highly en dorsed ns an entertainer', and his subject on this occasion will be "Home Life in Dixie." Those who have heard the lecture pronounce him line, and we bespeak him a full house. The protracted meeting at the .Methodist church will begin next Monday, and will continue through the second Sunday, on which day a laymen's meeting will be held. The pastor has announced that Profs, Morrison and Daniel, of Clemson, will be among the speakers on that day.

Brockman has been Invited to open a discus sion on the subject "The School Child's Welfare" at the meeting of tho Southern Educational Associa tion in Chattanooga. This in an honor worthily bestowed, which the professor will doubtless wear grace fully, and Seneca and ber school are honored in hoing allowed the privi lege of sending one of her citizens as a representative to this meeting.
