Story of the Killing of Keels by the Man Who Did it. Manning. May 4.-I saw Mr. You mans this afternoon and asked him if he was vet prepared to make a statement, as foreshadowed in my dispatch of Tuesday.when he said, in substance. as follows: "In view of the large crowd present. the place where the trouble occurred and the horror upon the minds of all in witnessing the death of any man. and they not understanding the causes 1 which led up to the trouble, I feel that i I should be unjust to myself, my family and friends did I decline further a brief statement leading up to the unfortu nate tragedy of Monday, in which I was compelled to take the life of John R. Keels, Esq. "About six weeks ago Mr. Keels paid t me for a mule I had sold a negro, and** after a week or so I was surprised to have him call upon me for the money he ] had paid me for the negro. saying that the mule was worthless. I objected to returning him the money, claiming my transaction was with the negro, when he became angry and abusive. and I I finally asked him to stop and leave my ] otlice. as I wanted no difficulty with him. A friend of mine took him out. and was asked by Keels to tell me to let us get pistols and step off ten paces i and shoot it out. Shortly after this he1 brought suit against me, and although I had been warned of numerous threats made by Keels against my life before the filing of the suit. and of the desper- t ate and treacherous character of the t man I concluded he had determined to let the court settle our trouble and, for the time being, dismissed from my mind the fear of violence. For some time Mr. Keels passed and repassed !me and would speak to me, and I noticed that f he was only threatening and inclined to be abusive when under the influence of t liquor, or which occasions I would go out of my way to avoid him. As court approached these occasions of drinking became more frequent: the threats t came to me by such reliable men that I a armed myself with a view of protecting t myself in case a difficulty could not be avoided. As I came from dinner on r Monday a county official said to me: t Look out for Keels: he is going to hurt 1: ou.' Not over ten minutes before the difficulty I was in the court house door, t heard keels cursing among a crowd of a men nearby. but did not catch his words, when he suddenly looked in my direction and made a sudden movement t as if to come towards me, when someone . cauaht his arm and they walked off to ward the dispensary. I was standing . by one of the large columns supporting the porch of the court house, with one foot against the column, looking for an t attorney who had business in my office, . v when I observed Keels walking rapidly - towards me, and before I could take my j foot down he struck me with both fists o on each side of my face. glancing blows, ( which were partly aveided by my throw- f: g off his arms with my left arm. What z he said to me with the blows, accom panied by his reaching for his hip pocket, convinced me that the fatL I moment had arrived, and I commenced shooting and did not cease until all dan ger to my life was at an end. "I am informed that many are under the impression that Mr. Keels was not armed, because no pistol was found on his person. The impression that he did not have a pistol when he attacked me is wholly erroneous and utterly un true. and everything in the world that kept Keels from shooting me was the effectiveness of my shots. To say that I regret the unfortunate necessity im peling me to this deed but faintly ex presses my feelings. I would be inhu man did I not feel for his family, hay ng had no desire in the world to harm hair on his head. I feel today that M~r. Keels would be alive and well had ot an enemy of mine taken the advan tage of his dinking spells to goad him on to do me bodily harm.". MIr. J. H. Lesesne has been retained by MIr.

Editor The Manning Times: I notice in last issue that Capt. D. J. i Bradham has called a meeting for Sat-s trday, 14th inst., at the court house of I Camp Harry Benbow who do not regard themselves as proper characters to be entertained in the homes of Charlestons on the occasion of our approaching re union. While his words are not pre- 1 ciselv in this language the sense con rveed is exactly this, for he says those who desire to accept of Charleston's 1 hospita tity on this occasion he wants toI meet him on the 14th inst. As the very character of that socalled hospi-c tality is the issue it is up to every indi-t vidual veteran to decide for himself his attitude in this matter. The teachingr of civilization and its invariable prac-c tice is to recognize invited guests intor the very sanctuaries of our homes. 1 We h'ave been most coi'dialy invited: we accept; Charleston goes throughc the mockery of throwing wide the gatesc of the city but carefully locks the front door and meets us at the demt with nu-c merous committees who carefully leads us through by ways that terminate at t a vacant hospital or a cotton shed. This treatment of her own State vet erans by any town is inexcusable; for 1 the numiber requiring entertainment is no larger than other bodies of citizens< whom they invite and entertain at their 4 homes. The old soldiers have no desire to trespass upon the hospitality of any-t one and the humblest of them are com-t fortable in their little cabins. This re union business is now passed out of heir hands. It is run in the interest of the i'ailroads and towns, with the veterans as a side show and side track-< ed. As regards the money collected to take those requiring help to the reun ion I repeat that only five dollars was colected outside of the ten..given by two citizens, after repeated petitions to both the county and Manning by the regular committes appointed by the Camp for this purpose: whatever other unauthorized persons collected and made no report of I can't be expected to know. This issue is not shrouded in mystery, it involves but one question and one eswer. viz., is a true and worthy Con federate veteran the equal of any aver-] age citizen and entitled to all the amen ities and courtesies of life? Is it debat abler 1 know in the hearts of true men and women in "Dixie" the decision is in the affirmative. Then let us stamp out all discrimination attempted against him and regard him in his true light as the most ti'ue, pure and honest and patriotic gentleman that ever graced our home with his splendid presence.

Editor The Manning Times: In your issue of May 4th you publish an address and order to the Harry Ben bow Camp Confederate veterans b' Col. Brailsford, Commander. The address and order so far as they are concerned explains themselves and the readers of THE TIES can read mnd understand that much for them selves, and as a member of the Camp, ind as one who has read Col. Brails Ford's address and order, will take the liberty to remind him of an error he has made in reference to contributions :nade to enable needy Confederate vet rans to attend the last annual reunion it Columhia May 12. 13, 14 1903. Col. Brailsford in speaking of former :Lontributions and by whom made, goes n to say. "But on the occasion of the ast reunion it was made manifest that his outside natural and proper assist mece had failed them for with the ex eption of Capt A. L. Lesesne and Capt. .R. Tindal, who.generously give live lollars each. while the entire county ucluding the town of Manning in re ponse to many letters and petitions, rave six dollars." At the reorganization of the Harry 3enbow Camp Confederate veterans a hort while before the reunion at 7olumbia, there was a committee ap >ointed to solicit contrtbutions, includ ng the writer. to a fund to be used in )aing the railroad fare to Columbia of -eterans who were unable to pay their >wn fare. After the adjournment of the camp, he writer at once set out to perform he duty allotted, and called on several >f the citizens of Manning who kindly Lnd willingly contributed the amounts Ls also citizens outside of -Manning was asked. Instead of six dollars as Col. Brails ord remembers being contributed Jby 'the entire county including Manning" here was nine dollars and ten cents. As treasurer of the Camp all funds ere placed in the hands of the writer, end be was instructed to purchase ickets as far as the funds would go. end to give the tickets to those that her were intended for. The amount of contributions all ound looked small it is true, but still hey more than answered their pur ose. with a small balance left and rhich is still in the keeping of the reasurer, and which is subject to the rder of the Commander. A statement of facts in reference to .hat I now have written are on file at his time in THE MANNING TIMES ice, for after we returned home from olumbia, and the last reunion, a- state ment to and published in THE MAN ;ING TIMES. Contributions from any other source han has alreadly been mentioned the triter has no knowledge of. The writer has only written this in ustice to the citizens of Manning and f the county generally and to remind ol. Brailsford who is a long time riend, a veteran and a patriotic citi en, we believe, of an unintentional mistake. GEO. R. JONES. Davis Station, May 7th, 1904. Cured His Mother of Rheumatism.

One day the young man said to his com panion: "Judge, I wish you would tell me what it is to which you attri bute your very unusual success in the law." "Well. I don't mind doing so, but it must be on one condition, and that is, that you agree to pay the rest of my traveling ex penses on this trip. To an ambitious young fellow of considerable inherited fortune that was not much to do and he agreed. "It is simply this," said the judge, "I always make it my rule to deny everything and in sist upon proof.'' His friend acknowledged the remark with a simple 'thank you," and nothing further was said about the matter. The judge did not limit him self in his wines and other ex penses, and was running up a pretty bill. When their stay at that hotel was ended, they went to the desk for their accounts. The judge received his and pass ed it along to the younger man with a twinkle in his eye. "Why, what does this mean?" he asked. "Mean!" said the judge; "it simply means that you ageed .to pay all my expenses on this trip, and here's my bill." "Judge," said the other, "I deny everything and insist upon the proof. The R. B.

Stenrly the judge regarded the prisoner before him. He be held a man of tender unripe years, whose face was fair to look upon, bearing as it did eve ry known mark of honesty. Ap pearances gave no reason for committing the crime, and yet the jury had decided, on first ballot, that the prisoner was guilty. In fact the plea for the defense was very weak. "It seems increditable," said the judge, "that a man of your connections should have stooped so low as to become a common forger. Surely someone else must have been the cause of your downfall." "There was some one," replied the prisoner. "It is youirself your honor." amaed ejaculated the judge, "Just so. A short time ago I was a member of the graduating class in my college.
