KILLED BY BROTHER-IN-LAW
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

Only Members Family Witness
? the Shooting and Testify.
f The citizens of Newberry werej
* startled on Monday morning at the j
f ' sudden news that there had been a)
killing that morning in the quiet lit- ;
tie town of Helena. The victim of;
the tragedy was a young man known j
to the community of Newberry as;
~? " ""oint-. rharacter. He ;
somewnat ox ?
had some friends who wished him j
well and tried to help him to over-j
come the handicap of his environ-j
ments. The following result of the {
coroner's inquest tells the story:
Sumter Holt, sworn, says: "I am,
the father?of Will Holt. Ben Clary ;
is my son-in-law. He married my;
daughter, Bessie. They have six]
children. I live here in Helena, in;
Tlvl* morning; July 19,;

ir.ji: breakfast. Heard Will Holt curs-i
in^r Bessie Clary (Ben's wife) and'
. Mamie Clary (Ben's daughter). Will J
was in the kitchen. Will attempted:
to hit Bessie with a chair and Mamie j
tried to interfere and keep him from!
hitting her. Will ran out of the din-1
ing: room on the back porch and pick-!
ed up a chair- and attempted to hit >
some one, and I heard pistol shot i
three times in quick succession. When j
I ?ot out on the porch the chair was!
about eicrht feet from where it was;
when Will first picked it up. Will
"was inside .hall lying down; he was
shot. Ben Clary had just walked in
room. I could see the part of piazza
that Will was standing: on from where
I was sitting, but could not see the

out of dining room door when papa |

piazza when he shot. Will was cursing
papa at time of shooting. _

Mrs. Maggie Holt, sworn, says: "I
live here in Helena in this house. Am
the mother of Will Holt. He lived
here with us, and so did Ben Clary,
my son-in-law, and his family, and
my husband, Sumpter Holt. I was]
in t.hp stove room this morning, and!
all of the rest came in for breakfast
except Will. And I went in and
waked him up, and Will got up and
<*ame in the stove room, and came in
- mad, as usual. He got up in a bad
temper every morning. He said something,
some kind of a slur at his pa
about his doing nothing, and he, Will,
having to work so hard. Then Bess
? threw it.up at Will about his staying
in the guardhouse Saturday night.
Will jumped up and had a biscuit in
his hand, and said, 'I am going to
prove by Mr. Hogg I stayed with
him;' and the next thing I heard was

biscuit in his hand he came on out
here on the porch. Ben had already
come out of room. Just a minute
from time Will left ro&m until I
"heard shooting. When 1 found him
he was lying down; biscuit had fallen
by side of him. I heard him curse
Bess. I dad not hear him curse Ben.
"Maggie Holt."
Newberry, July 19, 1920.
This is to certify t^hat William G.
Holt came to his death this morning
at 8:15 o'clock from the effects of
- *? i-i- - \ J

SENATE CANDIDATES I
SPOKE HERE SATURDAY/
The Meeting Very Well Attended.
Respectful Attention Given All
the Speakers?About 300
Present.
s
The candidates for the United
States senate spoke in Newberry on
Saturday forenoon. The court room
was about filled with some 300 voters
who gave a respectful hearing to all
the candidates. All of them were
given some applause but there was
no demonstration for any speaker.
Mr. W. C. Irby spoke of the high
r?rkc* r?f livinor anr} +Vip "nicr nrnfit.S
VVk/W WX <#^ * W r
made by many of the industries and
the merchants and said that some
legislation was needed.
Mr. W. P. Pollock thanked the people
of Newberry for the vote they
gave him when he was a candidate .
before and said he would .like to have
the privilege of a full term in the
senate to see what he could do.
Mr. George Warren spoke next and
said that the-tendency of the government
was to federalize evervthinsr
and he wanted to hark back to the
olod constitutional principles, and the
government founded by the fathers,
believed in maintaining some of the
rights of the state. While he was
against tHe Volstead act he desired j
it understood that he was no liquor i
man or against prohibition but he j
wanted the right of the state to ;
handle its own affairs to remain un-i
i x. l i
moiesieu.
Senator E. D. Smith was the last'
of the speakers and he told of the j
accomplishments of the Democratic !
party during the seven years of!
Democratic rule and said that more j
constructive legislation had been j
passed during that time than in all j
the years of the Republican rule.

speak and go on attending to your!

LEVER MAY ENTER
GOVERNOR'S RACE
FORMER REPRESENTATIVE FA- i
VORS. LIBERAL WAREHOUSE AID
'
Lexington Man Hints That He Will 1
Run if No Other is Found to
Lead Fight.
The State, 18th.
Asburv F. Lever, member of the | <
federal farm loan board and forJ<
many years representative in eon-ji
gress from the Seventh district, hint- j.
ed strongly last night that if a ;
staunch lea<ier for the movement to j i
establish cotton v/rehouses by lib- <
oral state aid was not found, in the!
next two years that he would feel j1
called upon to canvass South Caro- j
lina in the gubernatorial race with
this a^ his principal issue. Such a : .
course would be a-great sacrifice to <
himself, he said, but he added that.;
he was determined to see to it that <
the cotton farmer should be given the ]
advantages of the warehouse act. Mr. i i
Lever was in Columbia for a few,
hours, cn route from Kershaw, where
l.e spoke yesterday, to Lexington, to <
spend Sunday at his home. \:
Mr. Lever is speaking at a number
of meetings in the state conducted ;
by the South Carolina division of the;;
American Cotton association, the extension
service of Clemson college,;
the United States department of ag- i
riculturc for the construction of
warehouses, the employment of cotton
graders and for new members of!;
the cotton association. i
In these speeches Mr. Lever is ad-,
vocating a system which will, he;
thinks, remedy the situation in the!
form of a warehousing arrangement1
whereby the state is to furnish atj
least half the cost of the warehouse,
and the community where it is built '
tfye other half. To raise these funds;
he believes thgt the state should issue
20 year bonds. He says this will
result in cotton being given credit
value under Section 13 of the federal
reserv^ act.
"The problem of distribution of
cotton so as to bring to the farmer its
real intrinsic value is not alone the
problem of the farmer," says Mr.
Lever, "but likewise that of every
man, woman and child in the state
and of all classes, and, therefore,
every one should be interested and*
should help bear the burden of creatine
such agencies of distribution as
shall bring to the producer the real
value of warehousing. Experts have
said that storing capacity for 250,000
additional bales is necessary to
give the -state a system which will
care for 35 per cent, of the cotton
produced. This would cost $500,000.
This could not succeed by voluntary
cooperation as the South has not
learned this lesson, and can only do
so if the state puts back of it its
great resources, as it is a problem of
the state."
He advocates the state furnishing
at least one-half of the necessary
funds for the warehouse ^system to
be raised' by the sale of 20 year
bonds. The state, under the direction
of the warehouse commission,
would select the strategic points for
the location of the warehouses, of
which the public would be given n'otice.
When ar\y community^ became
able to provide one-half, the state
should be able to furnish the other
half, he says.
"If the state through legislative ac
tion should hold out . this inducement
to the communities enough
warhouses could be built in two or
three years to meet the demand, and
cotton will be ?iven credit value un
der Section 13 o? the federal reserve
act, which at present it does
not and can not enjoy, and to make
cotton good collateral," .says Mr.
Lever.
NITRATE OF SODA
KILLS FOUR HOGS
Newberry Farmer Has Unusual Experience?Animals
Drank Water
From Wash Tub.
John Turner, a farmer living at
Helena, has learned something about
nitrate of soda that he thinks he
ought to tell his fellow farmers. Two
days the first of last week he was
eneasred in cutting: the nitrate in his
fields to make the crops grow. He
was in his shirt sleeves while at
work, wearing one shirt the first day
and another shirt next day. Friday
Mrs. Turner put the shirts in a tub
containing about 15 gallons of water,
left them to soak awhile, and then
wrung them out. She turned the tub
over to let the water run out. Some
of it ran into a pen where there were
four hogs?three of them shoats
weighing about 150 pounds. They
all drank of the water, and all were
dead in 30 minutes. Mr. Turner says
he would not have taken $75 for the
SOW. J
Tractor Demonstration.
The tractor demonstration and as
well the demonstration of other farm
machinery will be held at the colored
fair grounds in the eastern suburbs
on Wednesday of next week and this ;
will give opportunity to see tnese improved
farm implements demon- i
strated and you are invited to be i
present. There will be no sales of
machinery but this is to be a free
demonstration of the machinery. ! .<

Johnson and G. C. Boulware and
unanimously adopted by a rising vote
and publication in The Herald and

the excellent dinner which we have
this day enjoyed.
That we -shall ever hold him in
fond remembrance and trust that at
the next annual gathering of the survivors
we may have more of the
members of the company present

may be able to join with us in the j
happy gathering and that we may be
able to express to him personally our
appreciation of his thoughtfulness for
the survivors of his old company.

candidate for president,
that ne will do all in his power to

late this afternoon, prior to his
' departure tonight for Washington,

effort to have the Tennessee legislature.
ratify the amendment and some
\ cf them intimated that unless he
L came staunchly to their aid he might
1 expect little or no support from the
- women voters in the November elec>
tion. Mrs. Margaret Crahan Jones
: cf Seattle, Wash., said "the women
5 are going to vote for the candidate
who gives us the 36th state." Other
1 speakers voiced similar sentiments.
1 Not That Kind, Says Cox.
To suggestions by women speak'
ers that the governor might expect
their votes in November if he should
" be successful in efforts to obtain rati
fication by Tennessee, Governor Cox
" unreel them not to "preach the gos"
pel that I should receive the votes of
the women because I helped to give
> them suffrage." He told them there
- were things more vital "than rewarding
a man for a service which he
f has rendered in behalf of suffrage."
1 Governor Cox suggested to the wos
man's party representatives that they
1 appoint a committee to confer with
him on a definite plan to be followed

In giving his promise to help them

i "I give to you without any reservation
the assurance that my time,
