KILLS OWN SON DELIBEHATELY. Drives Wagon on Yard Against Or ders and is Shot Down, Spartanburg, Feb. 15.-With tho wife of the victim clinging to him and entreating him not to ?hoot, and her four children .standing by, awe stricken witnesses, William Martin Lapford, a 04-year-old Confederate veteran, early this morning put a bul let into the heart of his son, William David Lanford, 35 years old, killing him almost Instantly. Tho son nnd his family lived with the old man on a plantation on tho Enoreo river, three miles from Wood ruff. Because of constant bickerings the son had decided to move. When he came with a wagon to take away his household goods the father bade him not drive upon the yard under pain of death. The young man ignor ed the command, and was shot through the heart. Gave Himself Vp. After tho killing, the old mau mounted a mule and, with head erect, glancing neither to the right or left, paying no heed to the curious per sons who followed him, rode to Woodruff, calmly announced that he had killed his son and said he was going to Spnrtunburg to surrender to the sheriff. The train had gone and Lanford accordingly went to_a store and re quested Bert Weathers, a clerk, to telephone the sheriff to come for him. This was done and Lanford was com mitted to jail late Tn the afternoon. In jail he complained of being 111, and Dr. W. G Sexton was called and prescribed. It ls reported that Lan ford is suffering from pellagra, but tho report lacks confirmation. Inquest. Hold. The coroner's jury found that W. D. Lanford came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of W. M. Lanford. The testimony given was in effect the same as the'story given above. There was evidence that Lanford had consented to hts son moving and did not object to hts taking away the furniture, but ordered him not to drive the wagon on the yard.

Strlbling, of Pendleton, luis sent tile following to tho Dally Mall olllce with tho request that lt bo published: Whenever the name of Gen. Mart Gary and the Ked Shirts of 187G aro mentioned, tho Red Shirt men and veterans of Cary's Brigade Of'cavalry are moved to stand up, hats off, and give three long rebel yells in honor o? that grand old tighter, Gen. Mart Gary, the unconquerable "bald eagle" of Edgellold. The survivors of lils famous bri gade are scattered over tho State, some In Anderson and other adjoin ing counties, and 1 believe they are a unit In the opinion of Governor BleaBe that South Carolina never gave Gen. Gary what she owed bim while he lived and that we she ubi now chisel his memory in maible? and line him up among our bravest of the brave leaders, where he be longs. No doubt there are many survivors of the Seventh Cavalry, known as "Gary's Hyenas," who can call to mind one occasion just before a des perate charge Into tho enemy's lln?'s when Gen. Gary pressed along the Une of the Seventh snapping his flory eyes, and said, "Roys, 1 can take this regiment of 'Hyenas' and clean out Cortes' brigade. We are all hun gry* and wo must cut through the.-c blue jackets and fetch in Gen. Cortes* wagon train." AU know from experience that "Old Mart" could do lt and that he would stand by his men In the thick est o. the fighting, same as he did in tho desjierate struggle in redeem ing our State in 1870. Of the followers of Gen. Mart Gary in his famous brigade there are to day living in Oconeo John D. Verner, John 1). Perry, and E. A. Lewis, of Walhalla, and John W. Shelor and David Strlbling, of the county. Mr. Strlbling, in writing to a friend In Walhalla In regard to the above ar ticle, recalls that Billy and Jim Mauldln, Billy and Jim Doyle, Ben Abbott, Billy Penny, Larkin Cleve land, and many other former citizens of Oconee, who. have since moved away, wore connected with this bri gade, "all of whom," he remarks, "will be glad to know that their old leader, Mart Gary, has not been for gotten."
