Florence, October 29.?Special:
Foully murdered within the confines
of his own home was the fate of
Mr. Ellhu M. Moye, a well known
and most highly respected farmer
and citizen of the Ebenezer section,
v . about 10 o'clock last night, and
Clarence Ham, a ginger-cako colored
negro, about 30 years old, is in jail
here, charged by the cononer's jury
with being the man who committed
I the heinous crime, nnd using
Moye's own gun to kill his victim
with.
The news of the horrible deed
was telephoned in here at an early
hour this morning, to the sheriff,
asking him to come to Ebenezer at
once and bring with him Coronor
Cooper, as Mr. Moye had been
found dead on the piazza, supposedly
from the bands of a murderer.
Sheriff (Joes to Scene,
Sheriff liurcli and Coroner Cooper
hastily went to the scene, and
the news as telephoned in proved to
be a reality. Tlio news spread
throughout the Ebenezer section
with lightning-like rapidity, and it
was only a short time before hundrends
of people had gathered about
the Move home, with the hope of
gaining some information as to how
he met death in such p. foul and
dastardly manner. All the while,
from the time the news became
known until the coroner's jury had
vccu cmi/cxiititu, tut; tfiitirt; ut'i^iiborhood
was wrought up and there
is no telling what might have happened
had it been known at that
time that Clarence Ham, the negro
now in jail, had had anything to do
with the taking of the life of Elihu
Aloye.
Did Not Iteport For Work.
Sheriff Burch had learned that
Clarence Ham had been in the employ
of Mr. Moye some weeks ago
*- and had been discharged because he
failed to work to suit his employer.
Last week, however, Mr. Moye.
agreed with Ham to take, him back
and put him to work. This morning
Ham was the only negro on the
plantation who failed to show up,
and Sheriff Burch, in order to see
.vhat there was in hint put him up
before the jury to testify. He stated
that he had left vtlic place late
yesterday afternoon and went to a
woman's house by the name of
Kthel Wilds last night, where he
stayed. While he was testifying
I'eputy Sheriff Harrell was sent to
the Wilds woman's house to bring
her also as a witness and while at
the house the Deputy thought lie
would search the premises.
Found Dead Man's Clothes.
He found in the bureau drawer a
coat belonging to Mr. Moye and a
pair of trousers. These he took
along with him to the inquest, and
I it proved to be the right, evidence
| on which the murder could be laid
I at Ham's door, for it was the coat
I that Mr. Moye wore last night, and
the one he had just divested himself
of a few moments hpfnro thp
\ Killing took place, as was sworn to
by Mr. Harold Cole, who bad accompanied
Mr. Moye to TlmtnonsJb
ville last night to a protracted meetB
iug, which was being conducted by
the Rev. Thomas Leitch at that
place, and only a short while before
Mr. Moye was ;;lain. Letters
,-m and other papers of Mr. Moye's
1 were found in the pockets to-day,
going still further to prove Mr.
JSf \ Cole's testimony and tending to
I show that Ham is the criminal.

In the opinion of every citizen of

euuoriai 01 last week in reference
to the work of the Court House

and voiced the sentiment of the
taxpayers. It has been nearly nine **
months since the Legislature of <it'i*
South Carolina put into concrete (<

years to establish a new county. A
little over two months after thai, '{lMI
