K MYSTERY SHROUDS DEATH OF YOUTHS BODIES OF BENNETTSVILLE LADS FOUN1) BY SEARCHERS. Peculiar Accident or Murder.-Search. ing Parties Discover Remains ini Branch. Bennettsville, Nov. 26.-The dead bodies of Guy Rogers and Prentiss Moore were found this morning about 10 o'clock. As reported in The News and Cour ier today, these two -boys left home Thursday morning on a hunting trip. They went to Gardner's Bluff, hitch ed their horse and buggy and nothing definite could be learned of their whereabouts until the bodies were found today. Load Passed Through Body. Prentiss Moore, the son of Mrs. Emily E. Moore, and the younger of the two boys, was found lying on the south side of a branch about five feet deep. His feet were towards the bot tom of the branch, and he clutched a briar between his fingers. An exami nation showed that the load from a shotgun had entered his body from the side near the edge of the should er blade, ranged towards the. middle of the chest, passing through the body. The entire load, shot and wad, was lying underneath his clothes, in front of the chest. Shot Through Heart. Guy Rogers, a son of County Treas urer N. B. Rogers, and the o'lder of the boys, was found in the bottom of the branch, only a few feet from the body of young Moore. His face was turned down, his body was nearly in a kneeling position, with his head in the edge of the water, in a puddle of blood. He, too, was wounded with a shotgun, the toad entering directly into the heart from th'e front, passing through the chest, shattering the ribs on the rear side, some of the shot burying themselves in the skin of the back. One was found inside the shirt, near the wound. The wound in young Rogers' body ranged slightly down from the front. Shotgun Nearby. A double-barrel shotgun was found on the brink of the branch, the muz zle slightly elevated, pointing towards the ditch, one trigger cocked, and in the breech was caught a small part of the shirt of young Rogers.

The branch runs through a broad field. An overgrown hedge covered the 'banks of the branch, -which is about five feet deep and about six feet wide at the top. Seen by Negroes. Within about 150 yards is a negro cabin. An old negro woman who lives there said that she saw the boys out there shooting, but that she paid no attention to them and- knew noth ing of their .disappearance. Within one-half a mile are three other houses. The point where the boys -had hitch ed their horse was within a quarter of a mile of where their bodies were found., Thursday night and Friday morn ing searching parties were out look ing for the boys. The party was in creased ilargely last night, and with lanterns the entire swamp on 'this side of the river was carefully searched. The Gruesome Discovery. A party was again formed this morning, many who had been out all night ag'ain renewing the search, which was begun at the place where the boys were last seen, with the un derstanding that it was to spread gradually and take in every foot of the ground. The portion where the boys' bodies were found was assigned to a party, among whom were Frank Crosland and W. C. Carlisle. Mr. Crosiand was riding horseback up the branch, when he discovered the body of young Moore. The bodies remained as they were found until the coroner empanelled his jury, when they were moved and an examination made by Dr. W. J. Crosland. The jury is making a thorough examination and taking the testimony of everyone in the immed iate vicinity. Accident or Murder? Many think it practically impossi ble to reconcile the facts with the theory of accident, yet nothing has de veloped to point conclusively to the theory of murder. The coroner's jury adjourned late this afternoon to meet again next Wednesday, when additional testimony will be taken with a view to throwing further light upon what now seems to ean impnetrable mystery.

B.i ICH ARDS SUCCEEDS SULLIVAN Kershaw County Man Appointed oi Railroad Commission. .Columbia, November 26.-John G Richards, Jr., of Liberty Hill, Kershaw county, will fill the unexpired term o: the late James Mattison Sullivar for railroad commissioner. The ap pointment was made this afternoon by Governor Martin F. Ansel. Major Richards was not an applicant foI the position, 'but he was recommend' ed to the governor by numerous friends of both. The term for whici Major Richards is appointed 'is twen ty-six months. Major Richards -served twelve years in the general assembly, as a member of the house of representa tives. During that time he made a de termined fight for higher education and especially for thle common schools of the State. Likewise, he was Clem son's "standby" in the house. During the days of the old State dispensary, John Richards, -was a hearty advocate of the system, but immediately upon the death of the dispensary he became a prohibitonist and was always, in re cent- years, pressing that measure in the house. During the session of 1909, when the prohibition measure was passed in the house, along with Men del L. Smith, a prohibition leader, re fused to vote for the compromise measure that came over from the senate. Major Richards has held two other commission appointments under Gov ernor Ansel, -one being the commis sion in the matter of the women's monument and the other being the Jamestown exposition commission. Last summer Major Richards was in the race for governor. The fact that -Major Richards is named will probably mean that there will have to be a rehearing before the raroad commission in the matter of the cotton piece goods rate to Char leston, and the general freight rate hearing also may have to be postpon ed. It so happened that Governor An eel did not name any one for the posi tion of railroad commissioner out of the thirtyone applicants. T. B. Lumpkin will remain as sec retary of the commission. B. L. Caughman will probably be ellected chairman in January. The other mem ber of the commission to come in dur ing January is G. McDuffie Hampton, of this city.
