FOR A HOSPITAL.
Committee from Chamber of Com- !
mere? to Confer with Physicians.
The llearld and News has from
lime to time hud something* to say
about the building of a hospital in I I
Newberry. It is learned that tho 1
president of the Chamber of Com- i
merce some ten days ago appointed a i
special committee, composed of t
Messrs. (I. B. Cromer, .1. B. Hunter
and F. N. Martin, to gather some sta- |
tistics and information in regard to j
the operation and cost as well as the |
success of hospitals in other communi- (
tics. || is also learned that this cornmil
lee will have a meeting- with the )
physicians oi the city in the Chamber (
of Commerce rooms this afternoon at (
| (J o'clock. It will cost some money to (
( reel a hospital that will be suitable |
lor a community of this size, and it |
will cost something to keep it in ^
operation, and it is not probable that
the income will be sullicient to pay (
any dividends, but it is a work which ,
would benefit humanity and be a \
blessing* to many, who are not able to |
go to more expensive hospitals and j
would be a worthy object for our lib- (
I era I citizens to take into serious con- s
I sideration. If some citizen, who is j
| possessed of ample means, would con- |
j tribute some $10,000 as a starter, he! (1
| would thus erect a monument to his i.
I memory, which would be more lasting
j than any monument of brass or
stone and which would continue to do
j g-ood and alleviate suffering* as the ^
1 years ?ii by. 1
It is hoped that something* will *
come of the meeting, which it is pro- "
posed to hold this afternoon with this 1
special committee and the physicians s
of the community.

the shock and had his leg badly burn- i

NEGRO WOMAN KILLED.
Shot in the Back by Rich Collins?
So Far Has Evaded the
Officers.
Two negro killings took place in I
dewberry comity on Saturday, one at '
'msperity, in which one negro man j
villed another, and one up at Spearnan's
in which a negro man shot a
icgro woman in the back, killing her
ilnmst instantly.
The Herald and News gives tlie
estirnony before the coroner as to
lie killing of Mary Camel, and from
his testimony it seems that is was a
use of plain ami simple murder.
It is stated thai Collins and Mary
md a quarrel about a week before
lie killing. The following is the tesimoiiy
taken at the coroner's inpicst.
Collins has not been arrested,
nit the coroner has placed a warrant
or his arrest in the hands <>t the
iheriff.
Sheriff Huford, when he heard of
lie killing on Saturday night, had ar'niiged
to go to Savannah on s'?mu
mportant business, but without waitng
for the coroner's inquest, immedately
dispatched his deputies to the
neighborhood of the killing with instructions
to arrest Collins if possi>le.
Up to yesterday, however. (Colitis
had been successful in evading
apt nre. The imjuest was held on
Minday.
Testimony.
Alice Jesse, sworn says: Just as
>Iary Camel and I got off the bridge
{icli Collins asked Mary where she

l ith a gun. The gun was a single barel.
After shooting her he threw out

KILLING NEAR PROSPERITY.
Two Negro Women Have a Dispute,
Husbands are Drawn Into it,
and One is Shot to Death.
Prosperity, Any. 4.?The ever-ready
pistol in its work near Prosperity
late Saturday evening. * Fed Boyd
and Will Johnson, tenants of Mr.
fJeorne Ilnnter of the St. Luke's community,
had differences during the
year. Will tanked up on "blind-tiger"
and got obstreperous and left
town to escape the guardhouse. It developed
at the inquest held today by
Magistrate B. B. llair that Fed and
Will met on the way home, and Will's
wife "cussed" Fed's wife, and that
brought the men into it. Will was
walking and dared Fed to get out of
the wagon. Fed got out and Will
opened on him with his rapid-tire
Maxim, firing six times and hitting
him once. That was fatal, entering
just over the heart. Boyd sank to
the ground and died at once. lie was
brought back to town and the jury
of inquest found "that Fed Boyd
came to his death from a gunshot
wond at the hands of \Vill Johnson."
Johnson is still at la rye. He told
Mr. Hunter he would give himself up
and wanted him to go on his bond.?
The State.
Johnson came to Newberry on Sunday
and surrendered to the sheriff
and Ls now in jail. His version of tho
difficulty dilt'ers somewhat from the
above, lie confirms the statement
that about a month or such matter ago]
his wife and Boyd's wife had some
difference and he says that Boyd's
people doubleteamed on his wife, and
as a result he had Boyd's wife indicted
before Magistrate Hair. At the intervention
of Mr, Ilnnter. however,
they agreed to settle this difficulty
and had apparently made friends. On
Saturday while in Prosperity, Johnson
says that he was told by someone
else that Boyd's wife had pushed his
wife off the sidewalk, but that he did
not trouble him about this.
About dark he and his wife started
to their home on foot and according
to his statement, were not apprehending
any difficulty with Boyd. Soon
after they bad left the town, however,
they were overtaken by Boyd and his
wife and son in the wagon and at that
time he asked Boyd why he had pushed
his wife off the street and double
teamed on him, so to speak. Boyd
immediately jumped out of the wagon
and assaulted Johnson, wrenching
his arm and striking him on the
side of the head, and in the meantime
a son of Boyd's assaulted him from
the rear, striking him in the back. He
thereupon drew his pistol and shot
four times, one of the balls proving
fatal.
Johnson says that he was not drinking
and ahd had no whiskey during
the day. He said that it was purely
accidental that he happened to have
a pistol. That some one, who owned
tho pistol, had offered to pawn it to
him if lie would lend him fifty cents,,
but he did not have fifty cents, but
told this party that be had forty cents
and he loaned the forty cents and accepted
the pistol as security and that
he had had it for only about one-half
hour. He slays that when he left
Prosperity on Saturday afternoon lie
thought that Boyd and his wife had
gone ahead of him and he was not
anticipating any difficulty.
Death of An Only Child.
Wliliam Klsworth Augustus Ivibler,
the only child of Dr. and Mrs. F. II.
Kibler, after a long illness, died at
their home in Newberry on Saturday.
Aged, 14 months. The burial was had
at liosemont on Sunday afternoon.
Death is always sad and if it. can
be more sad it is when the only light
is taken from the home, but the parents
should remember that these dispensations
are meant for our good and
it is only through suffering that we
can be made perfect. The Herald and
News extends its sympathy.

J '
little mountain reunion.
Exceptionally Large Crowd?0., n.
& L. Gives Good Service?Gov.
Ansel and Others Speak.
The annual reunion of the students
and f rionds of Newberry college was
bold at Little Mountain on Prday.
This is probably one of the largest
gatherings^ of its kind that is held
anywhere in the state. There are always
from three to five thousand people
who attend these gatherings.
They go in order that they might
meet their friends at least once a year
from all of the surrounding country,
and it lias come to be one of the fixed
institutions of this section.
The college always arranges for
speeches lo be delivered 011 the subject
of education, but as a rule, the
neople do not attend these gatherings
for the purpose of listening to speeches
and the speeches are heard by a
\ cry small portion of (he people who
attend.
I his year it was the general opinion
that the crowd was the largest
in the history of these reunions. The
0., N. & ft. railroad made what it
thought ample preparations to handle
the crowd that would go on the
trains, and instead of having only
tinee or four passenger coaches, as
has been the custom, there were this
year ten coaches on the train which
came from Laurens. Two of these
coaches were filled before the train
icached Newberry, and the crowd at
Newberry left scarcely standing
room for those who might desire to
vol on at stations bet-ween here and
Little Mountain. There were about
six hundred tickets sold at Newberry
and about throe hndred at Prosperity.
A lnrire portion of the passengers
at Prosperity had to wait
until the train could come back from
Little Mountain for them. This road
also ran a special train from Columbia.
which brought about five hundred
people. On the return trip the
C., N. &. Tj. made an extra run to
Newberry, permitting those who Jesired
to leave the mountain at 4 o'clock
and roach Newberry about f>
| o'clock.
Everybody who had to go by train
this year was ready and willing to
vote a resolution of thanks to the
management of the C., N. &. 1,. for
their efforts to accommodate and lake
care of the passengers who desired to
attend the reunion. Tn fact, the officials
did more than could have
boon reasonably expected of them and
showed every disposition to accommodate
their passengers. This is the
first year that a special has boon run
from Columbia. At least l,f)00 people
went to the mountain by rail this
year and a very conservative estimate
would place the attendance between
five and six thousand people. Tt was
a jolly and good-natured crowd and
everybody seemed to enjoy meeting
everybody else, though the' dust was
in evidence and the heat was somewhat
excessive at the foot of the
mountain.
A number of speeches were made
by the friends of Newberry college on
the subject of education, including
an address of welcome by Mr. Virgil
Seaso. I he other speeches were
made by Rev. J. II. Wilson, J. Brooks
Wingard and Prof. C. II. Kicklightor.
I rof. Kicklightor is in charge of the
technical department of Newberry
college and his speech dealt with the
importance to the south in this industrial
aire of fitting its young men
to take charge of the opportunity
which is presented for material development.
Tn tho afternoon President Soberer
made a short address and introduced
flow M. F. Ansel, who came up or
the midday train.
