Florence, Dec. 1.?Fay Poston, aged 18, was killed and his brother, Alger Poston, perhaps mortally wounded in a shooting at Johnsonville 35 miles from Florence, today. Three others are said to be more or less seriously wounded, including Jim Benton, who is said to be responsible for the killing of Poston and the wounding of h*s brother. It was reported late tonight that Benton was surlounded in a swamp by a posse and that his escape was impossible. News of the shooting was brought to Florence this afternoon by a messenger who came to procure ammunition for the posse of Johnsonville citizens who had set out to capture Benton. This messenger was able to give only meager details of the shooting, which occurre i iome distance from the tewn * 'of .'ohnsonville. It appears from his .?tory thai Poston and his brother were members of a hunting party organized by Dr. R. L. Cockfield, a prominent physician and president of a bank at Johnsonville, for the ?nterjta.nmont of a friend visiting him fror.i I V:rgin'<4. The party had strayed on ' ? ^ J. 1 1 J tne io acre tract, ui mhu vwnet uj Jim Beaton and it is stated the Jailor opened fire on the party with 'i Wiri cKvter rifle as soon as they cro^^d jh's line.

Several telegrams asking for 'details remain unanswered. The Pos^on family is prominent in that section of Florence county. It is reported that the people of Johnsonville are greatly aroused over the snooting. | Florence, Dec. 1.?The Florence I Times tonight received the following dispatch from Johnsonville: j "When Fay Poston, Alger Poston :and Dallas Poston of this place cross: ed near the yard of J.

( CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS T FOR ECONOMY HOME ( i Columbia, Dec. 1.?The campaign for funds for the Economy home at j Kings Creek wiil be under the direc- ] tion of a campaign committee com- , posed of J. Pope Matthews of Columbia, chairpian; A. B. Jordan of Dillon; J. L. Minis of Edgefield; F. C. Withers of Columbia; J. Newton Wat- kins of Greenville; P. F. Henderson , of Aiken; J. S. Wannamaker of St. Matthews; Mrs C McK. Patrick of An derson and Mrs. W. J. Wilson of Reidsville, the superintendent of the home, will remain in Columbia while the campaign is on. The campaign for funds, Mr. Spaulding said last night, has been made absolutely necessary because of the falling off of regular contributions to the home since the. financial s-tringency came up. "Coincidental with the falling off in the contributions has come a heavy increase in the applications for admission to the home," said the superintendent. "We are receiv-j ijig the most pitiful appeals daily for admission for orphans and motherless children." Mr. Spaulding yesterday receiwd the following letter from the Rev. J. H. Strickland, pastor o: the First Baptist church at' Pelzer, wnich he says is typical of the letters coming in daily: "A poor man here who has Bright's disease lost his wife a tew clays ago and he wants to get his children in an orphanage. I write to know if you have rcorn. He has three boys, aged thirteen, eight, and two years, and1 three girls, aged 11, six and four i years. He is a worthy man and he j has no one to look after them and we must do something for them if we can. If you have any room send me an application at once." Mr. Spaulding said that he had lying o.n his desk now applications for ~ jlor.inn -Prtv children. ciUiiiioaiisix iv? a.ww TRYING TO PROTECT PEOPLE -"FROM FRAUDULENT SCHEMES Postmaster W. R.

Chappclls, S.

The postmaster's letter stated a "nest egg77- for future nnanciai sue-: cess was waiting at the post office in j the form of United States treasury i saving securities exactly suited to ev-1 ery one's pocketbook as they are issued in denominations of $5, $25, $100 and $1,000. These securities are insurable without cost against every form of loss to the purchaser; and bear four per cent interest, com-i pounded quarterly, if held to matur-. ity. They are particularly attractive not only in their security but they are \ not subject to market fluctuation, and j can be converted into cash at any j time at a higher price than is paid for j them. The rapidity with which even small savings grow, the postmaster states, | is indicated in the fact that ?1 and a few additional cents each week, saved and invested in two $5 war savings . stamps per month, will yield in 120 months $600 in cash, and $000 more, maturity value, payable $120 a year for five years longer, a total of $1200 ?or an average saving and investment! of a little more than $8 per month for 120 months. The postmaster will be glad to .answer inquiries about government savings securities, and invites the public j to call at the post office for further in- j formation.
