I I.?Kmanucl Carv- | er, a young while man about .'10 years j of age, living six miles south of Sa- j lnda, was shot and instantly killed j this afternoon by Will Ilerrin, colored. The. killing look place in a field, where he was picking cotton, and I he negro, Ilerrin, who did the killing, it is claimed, was of unsound mind. Ilerrin went to Carver's field, and without warning or notice, shot I him down. Information received here is thai after killing Carver he also tried to kill Carver's wife, who) it appears, was in |1k> field. Mrs. Carvre grabbed I lie gun and saved herself from a similar l'ale to that of her husband. ' j News of I he shooting rapidly i spread in the community, and a posse was quickly formed, and from the reports just received I hey had captured Ihe negro, and it is supposed have lynclit d him. Young Mart in Matheney, who lias just arrived here, stales lliat lie was informed thai the negro had been raptured, and while being pursued was .shot, lint not fatallv. Alter lie passed (he Carver home lie heard a volley of guns and pistols, and the supposition here now is that the negro 'has been killed. The killing of Mr. Carver was a most cold-blooded act. A brother of Ilerrin was in Saluda late this evening looking for the Probate Judge, saying that a member of his family was crazy, and he wanted to know what should be done about, it. From all the reports it appears that AVill Ilerrin shot Mr. Carver while t'he former's brother was here at Saluda looking for the Probate Judge with a view of having him committed to the Stale Hospital for the Insane. It. is also stated that Will Herrin attempted lo kill two negroes Ibis afternoon. Sheriff Sample was phoned and left soon after for the Carver home, the scene of the killing,t and has not returned yet. Saluda, Sept. 34.?11 P. M.?Sheriff Sample has just returned to Saluda with Will Herrin, who this afternoon shot and killed Mr. Carver. The negro is suffering from several gunshot wounds inflicted in order to effect his capture. After shooting Mr. Carver down in the field Ilerrin broke his gun over Mr. Carver's head, and went and armed himself with another gun. When the news of Mr. Carver's death was made known, Mr. J. II. Forrest, Mr. Banyan, Watson and others attempted to capturo the negro, > giaiiBBWBBHi iable Goc ' Strongest whiskies" s CATHERWOOD'S Ms- Upper Ten Rye Whiskej -00 Fouf Bottles $5.01 Express Prepaid. 1 SI'S JACK CRANSTON'S talis, Dlodora Corn Whlske> 5 Four Full Quarts $4.S( Express Prepaid.

No possible excuse can be found for the killing. There are ' some who say Herrin sometimes act- < ed strangely.

Will Herrin lived with Mr. Carver until the first of August, when his time was out. Since then he has been staying with Mark Herrin, three miles from tihe Carver home. j The testimony of the inquest shows I Mr. Carver and his wife were 1 picking cotton near the house. Mrs. Carver being attracted by the crying of her baby, went into the houso.

None of llerrin *s wounds are: langerous. Saluda county citizens are gratified I hat there has been no attempt at ! lynching in this case. A speedy trial i *vill be insisted upon.

Sherill Sample has llerrin in his custodv, l?it out of an abundance of precaution is not keeping him in the county j jail.
