Killed or Pub;: Road-Two Arrests Have Been Made. t'h rli Gili .,+olo)red was wV2 Lid and murdered last Tliursda3 night. on the public road near Mr. \ \W. Spearman's place. at to o'clock T!;e negro was returning home in a oat- hourse wagon, when some on( en.ptied the contents of three gur shells into him, and the mule whicl: he was driving. The dead body of ., neC o was found the next morn ing abh- r' one mile up the road. The following is the gist of the testimony taken by the coroner's jury Frid av. Richard Gilliam says he was plow ;,;, ; I ,mn when Charlie (;im l eft 1-m. He and George i. t the water melon patch Titrsday night and George shot at some one twice, then they went t+ bed. Richard is the son of Charlie. Dock Johnson said he heard sht'ot itg Thursday night three tmies ht could not tell where it was. Charlic was a good man. Ella Gilliam, wife of the dead ne gr said that she and Charlie weni to \ir. Dave Pitts' and got there by dark. Charlie left Mr. Pitts' about e o'clock this is the last she saw .i him. She and Charlie had been mar ried about thirteen years and gotten alon tlright. She heard a gun shoot thr.ee times in the direciion of Mr. W. W. Spearman's. Ward Speaks says he heard piitol shots about ii o'clock, and leer hcatd a wagon pass his house go;n; :ward Newberry. Sallie Speaks says that she was at home . rid heard two gun shots closc together about 10 or 11 o'clock. De:t \Villson, also heard the gun shots. Ge rge Willson says that he heard a gun shot down toward Beaverdai creek. after the shooting some anc came to his house and called. He said that the reason he did not g-t up was because he knew a man whc got a whipping once for going out te a man. He knew Charlie Gilliam and said that he was a fine man. Jim Boozer heard three gun shots Thursday night-he was about a mile from where the shooting took place. The other witnesses testimony amount to about the same thing, all testifying that Charlie Gilliam was a good quiet negro. Dr. Senn, who examined the body said that he found two wounds on his body. One entering the left side ir tront. andl passing through the stomach; the other entered the right side and passed through the lower of the liver. Satuirday muorningi Sheriff Buford and Depty Sheriff Johnson left the city. as~ a result of a telephone mes sag from Mr. WValter Spearman, say ing that he had a slight clew to the mystery. WVhen the sheriff's party an rived at the house where the deac negro was, preparations were being made for burial: when Mr. Buforc was attractedl by the deceased's littic one crying. "*C usin George has killed our father." With this as a clew he went to work on the case, and as iesult lborace Shepherd, alias George Gilliaml. and Richard Gilliaim. son o: the dead negroi have been lodge n jamil. Richa rd Gililiam is six teen years old. WVhen questioned by the sheriff concerning the killing he sitat thte st ry he told about the watermeli' n patch was all a myth; -1 -t Gi.,:y.e Gillhu;n. whoit stays ir hel bi' tse, catme in some1 time after m ,Q'cl ck and sad.

Gereand CharliUe Gilliaim g--t it a fuiss recently and drew pistols on eachn other. on account of a woman who is Charlie's wvife, and who seems to be a p)rominent factor in the case. Of course the evidence is all cir cumstant ial, but Mr. Buford thinks that it is a clear case and that he has the right man. George Gilliaim is wvanted in Laur ves comuE.y for killing a igro five years ago. This is the third instance in thle ttat few weeks where Sheriff Bttfor4 hans arres ed a negro for re cent crime. when he wvas also wanted Sunday School Convention. T e Newberry County Sunday 1 : . I il T ,1.!i.% a!i(F w-g ; ece. The attendance was large, nearly every Sunday seh. in the county sent delegates, besides there were many visitors. On the second day the attendance was so great. not all could be seated. It is a hopeful sign and one altogther pleasant to contemplate when the churches maintain a hearty interest in the Sunday schools and foster them in every desirable manner. It was given ou by Dr. Pelham. in, the course of some remarks that New herry county is one of the banner counties of the state in respect to conributions to the state work, this county giving $30.00 annually 'n the upi)port of the organized work in the state. It is gratifying to us to learn of this, as we feel sure it will be to every lover of thL good cause. It was generally regretted. however, that there was not as many ministers of the gospel present as was hoped, but it is presumed that several of these were engaged in protracted services. Dr. Geo. B. Cromer was elected president for the ensuing year, Mr. John Goggans, who has served very acceptably several years past, de elining re-election. All the other officers were re-elected. The topic. "Is the scarcity of good teachers real or only supposed, if real who is to blame." was discussed by Rev. J. K. McCain, Mr. John L. Epps, Dr. V. E. Pelham. Rev. J. L. William son. Rev. John J. Long, Prof. E. O. Counts and others. This discussion elicited many points of interest and was interesting. The "Open conference on Sunday school work" was conducted by Rev. J. H. Graves, and this proved a profit able feature of the convention. Later on during the day Dr. Pel ham told of the Toronto convention, which he recently attended, at the request of the president. Dr. Scherer was to have spoken on this subject but was detained unavoidably in North Carolina much to the regret of the body. The convention was greatly interested in the recital giv en by Dr. Pelham of the work ae complished at Toronto and the vis ion of the future as it relates to this work. On the second day Mrs. M. A. Car lisle taught a primary class of girls andl boys, using a chart and emphasiz ing the '.esson by many apt allusions to nature and by various objects, all of which gained and held the rapt at tention of her class. "The very great importance of a normal class. How can it be made a success." Di. Pelham was the only one present to whom wvas assigned the topic: he. wvith Dr. WV. L. Sea brook. Mr. A. C. Jone-s. and Rev. 3. I.. \\illiamson. spoke to this subject. IRev. Z. WV. Bedenhough discussed the subject. "What design has the church in view in establishing and organizing Sunday schools." Rev. Geo. A. Wright, Mr. 3. R. McKittrick. Mr. A. C. Jones, Mr. Wa! ter T. Herbert. and others spoke 'to he subject. "WVhat part should the scholar, the teacher, the parent, and1 the congregation, take to advance the i'teres in the Sunday school." Next year by invitation the con vention will mee: at New Chapel. Methodist church. The following were elected dele gates to the State convention to be held next year at Pelzer: Prof. E. 0. C~ounts. Mr. A. C. Tones. Mr. WV. I. I lerhert.
