Aiken, June 4.?"If Hugh Long is elected to the legislature I will kill the 7 and stamp him in th? dust!" M. T. Holly, a well known Aiken county farmer living a lew miies irom Aiken, and who was himself a candidate for the State senate in the political campaign which last summer led up to the killing of Pickens N. Gunter by Hugh Long, testified ; at Long's trial this morning that Pickens Gunter uttered this threat the Monday -evening before the second primary was held."I told him," said Mr. Holley^ on the stand, "that he could get in mote trouble in a minute than he could get out of in a lifetime, and that if he talked that way, Long might kill ihim." Mr. Holley's testimony was the climax of the morning's proceedings. The defense began to combat the case ^ the prosecution yesterday made out against the legislator, and this morning produced some strong testimony to establish the plea of self-defense. "I saw Pickens Gunter in Aiken on the night of August 27 last year, the / night of the first primary election," said Mr. Holley. "I was at the bnlle tin board looking at the returns as they came in, interested as I fit for the reason that I waa a nmrlWste for the State senate. Goirf?r, wfuy vr&L my friend, came up. He w*s drinking, i saw he was mad. He said he wanted to talk to me. We talked out of the crowd and into a parfc in the stree^.

He s?id, 'If you'll go in that crowd and get Long and bring hlsi out here I'll shdw you how qufick I can kill him.' I told him if he wanted to shoot Long to go hunt him himself." The threit, -the witness declares, Pickens Gunter made against long's" life, was made at Wagener. MI ewtte back to Aiken and seeing Mr. LoftgrI advised him not to go back to Wag. ener. I told him what Gunter had threatened," continued Mr. Holley. "He replied that Ije thought .the whole thing would blow ofer after the election and that he didn't think Gunter would hurt him."

They know more about it than anybody else. At least they have more of it.?Newberry Herald & News. An all-day singfpg is ju*t wfiat the word implies, an ^11-day singing, something like the old tioe preach- * Ing in the country, where people came from long distances, to have services in the morning, dinner on the lawn around the house of worship and services again in,the afternoon. At the* all-day singing, the people come from miles around, bringing "well filled baskets" prepared to stay all day. A song service is held in the morning, followed by the midday meal. After dinner the singing is resumed until the time comes to gc? home. The singing is under the direction of a regularly elected choir leader who possio nra. bly 'Will sing a soio ox* picpaic u v gram of solos, duets, quartets, etc. The music consists entirely of sacred songs, sung in the good old-fashioned way with the spirit and religious fervor characteristic of fervid, devout people. While the custom might not be peculiar to this section, it seems to he more common here than \ ?icawhprp.
