Be?. Mr. Traywlck's Sermon.
Winnsboro News and Herald, 28th.
We have heard considerable favorable
comment of Rev. J. B. Traywick's
sermon at the Union Service
Sabbath night. It was a plain, practi
cal and faithful utterance.
The Tale of an Umbrella.
On a rainy day several men were
gathered in an office room in the city
of Newberry. As is usually the case,
some of the men had umbrellas,
some had not. The reporter was of
those who had. In the mix-up and
eet-awav he got hold of the wrong
umbrella, but did not discover the
fact until next day, when he took the
umbrella to its owner, whose initials
were cut on the handle. He did not
follow the usual but not universal
custom, in such cases of holding on
to what was had, which some think
smart to do; but his practice in this
instance of honesty being the best
policy lost him his umbrella. The
man who owned the returned umbrel
la knew nothing of it, because "his
jmbrella was borrowed at the time
of the "swap," and as he had nothing
at all to do with it we thought it
but right that he be given back his
property. But where is the lost umbrella?
The man who borrowed it
can't get on the trail. Here is how
it was borrowed. One of the men
who had no umbrella wanted one to
go out in the rain with. A man in
the room showed him one which was
not his. Most of the men had left
the room for other parts of the build.ng,
the owner of fne umbrella among
them?iwhich accounts for tHe trouble.
The man took the umbrella and
used it, afterwards giving it to another
man, who later delivered it at the
fmm u*hi>.h it had been taken.
He had borrowed it of the original
aorower?a sort of sub-borrower, as
it were. The umbrella lastly has disappeared.
Up to date it is still lost.
Who has it? Somebody has it. That
umbrella is somewhere in the city.
The man who borrowed it behind the
reporter's back, and who was the
cause of another one having to be
used in its place, is responsiDie ior j
ihe loss of the said property. But he
claimes that he is not. He holds a
high position in a large corporate
and moneyed institution in th6 city
and showed that he had sense enough
10 get out of the rain.

hands of J. F. Walker, aided and abeted

. "1. P. Searson, Jr., and J. Henry John<on
of Allendale conducted the examination

at about 3 o'clock Mr. Harter
was sitting on bench on the depot
platform at Lena in company of
the Rev. William J. Langston, of Co!
lumbia and Oscar Carlton. J. F.
Walker and son, Ben, came walking
down the railroad from the direction
of their home. On arriving
at the bench, Mr. Walker demanded
his pistol from Mr. Harter, who stated
that he did not have it. When the
request was refused Wlalker hit Mr.
Harter over the head with a pistol.
I was pushed back by "Walker repeatedMr.
Harter attempted to resist but
ly, while Walker and bis son, Ben.
kept up a continuous fire in the direction
of Harter, the younger man
standing on the left of his father.
The attention of the witness was
not called to the affair until after
several shots were fired. Each of
them swore that he did not see Harter
shoot at all.
After the shooting the witnesses
walked about 300 yards to the place
of the shooting and found Harter
gaping and dying.
There was a 3S calibre pistol with
one empty cartridge in it lying half
way between the dying man and the
edge of the platform.
It was testified by several witnesses
i
that Walker had threatened the life
of Harter because Harter had officially
taken a pistol from the prisoner
at Allendale a year ago.
Ben Walker was arrested and
lodged in jail today.

EXPERT ARRIVES.
Talks of Pelhgra.?English Savant
Says Maize Theory Has been
-- * 3. 1
Jixpioaea.
Spartanburg, Sept. 1.?"Spartanburg
is the centre of the scientific world
in the study of and the research-into
the causes of pellagra," said Dr. Louis
W. Sambon of London, Eng., connected
with the London School of Tropical
Medicine, who arrived in this city this
afternoon to devote two weeks to the
study of pellagra in connection with
the Thompson-McFadden commission.
Dr. Sambon is enthusiastic in his
nf fhe> work beine accomi^'sh
| ulk;v w
ed by the commission, and he beiifc7es
it will materially help in the solution
of the cause of the disease, which can
only be combated after the cause is
discovered. He said the theory that
maize causes pellagra is exploded;
that it is probably caused by the bite
of an insect?probably the buffalo
gnat or a species of fiy.
Dr. Baxter Haynes announced to
night that fully 200 physicians would
attend the pellagra conference to be
given 'here Wednesday. Because of
the number of doctors atending, the
' laity has been excluded. They will
be compensated, however, by hearing
an address to be delivered to the public
by Dr. Sambon at a date to be
named later.
Dr. J. W. Babcock of Columbia will
preside over the scientific pellagra
sessions to begin Wednesday morning,
and Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of
Wofford college, will deliver the introductory
address. No papers will
be read, but there will be discussions
on pellagra by the attending physicians.
Dr. Sambon will deliver the principal
address Wednesday night,
j An informal smoker will be tenderj
ed Dr. Sambon and the visitors by\
! the Spartanburg Medical society at j
j the Country club.
