Sitting in her home, two miles west of Cayce, nf Lexington County, Wed nesday morning, white-haired Mrs. Paul D. Ellisor was suddenly struck down from behind by a negro burg lar armed with her husband's axe. The heavy weapon sank down into the skull and death was probably in stantaneous. His fiendish work done, the assas sin strove to cover up the evidence so that the crime would not be dis covered until he had made good his escape. Catching up the pitiful, wasted body he forced it into a clothps basket near at h*nd and toss ed over it the quilts from the bed. Then catching up Mr. Ellisor's shot gun and one of his coats the murder er fled. The crfme was noUdlscovered until an hour or more afterward. Mr. El lisor had gone to New Brookland at an early hour to sell vegetables, leav ing Mrs. Ellisor alone In the little 3- room Bouse. The supposition is that the murderer, seeing the master of the, house drive away, supposed the kotise to tie empty.

The alarm was quick ly given, and within the hour men were searching for the murderer. Within a few minutes after the alarm waa given Mr. Steygert, con stable for Magistrate Bachman, of New Brookland, was on the scene. He took charge of the premises and un der Mr. Bachman's direction empan elled a Jury, which viewed the re mains. The inquest was then ad journed. The body remains at the home. BRUTES CONFESS. The Tojand Negroes Tell of Foul Killing In Lexington. VI says They Make a Full Confession of the Murder of Mrg. Paul W. Ellisor Near Columbia. A dispatch from Columbia Ned and Brack Toland, negroes, agel 17 and 19 years, respectfully, late Friday afternoon made a full con fession of the' murder of Mrs. Paul W. Ellisor, the aged woman who liv ed Just across the ritfer from Colum bia. - Brack, the youngest of the broth ers, said that Mrs. Ellisor suspected something as soon as they entered the house. When they got Inside Brack said he caught the old woman and held her while his brother knocked her In the head with an axe. They put her body In a basket and Ned struck her two more blows. They then proceeded to rob the house, tak ing a gun and a number of articles of wearing apparel. No money was found. These negroes were arrested on the train going to Newberry the day after the brtrtal jnurder and brought back to Columbia. There was a big crowd of men at the train when they arrived and had It not been for the presence of several officers an . al* tempt to lynch them would have been made. The two fiends are now In the penitentiary for safe keeping. A dispatch from Prosperity says Ned Toland bears a bad reputation, having been in a number of scrapes. About six years ago he broke Into Sligh's store, at Sllgh’a Station, and robbed the postofflce. He served a sentence Hi the United States prison In Atlanta for this crime. He has at different places. 4 ... Brack was working in the oil mill and was enticed away by Ned. They left Prosperity walking Monday.

A bout hern Passenger Train Partly I derailed at Kingsville. Train No. 17, .from Charleston was wrecked at Kingsville at 9.15 Tuesday night at ar switch about 100 yards north of the Congaree River. The two passenger coaches were de railed but none of the passengers were hurt beyond a bruise or a good shak ing Up: The ti : nmen conducted-an Inves tigation • ’d found that the switch had been l ipered with.. The engine and the m. I and the express cart passed over the switch in safety but the coach for colored passengers which followed, left the . rails and carried the coach for white passen gers with it. The two coaches struck a string of box cars which were standing on the siding, turning over two or three oi them and wrecking the interior of the negro coach, which, at the time was occupied only by one passenger and the conductor, neither of whom was hurt. The coach for whites was turn ed partly over, but was not damaged The track for about a hundred feet was torn up. After an hour and a quarter the passengers were put • aboard the ex press car and a caboose, and were carried on to Columbia^ reaching there at 11.20. follows Section One. That the sup ervisors of registration in each county of the State are required to re-enroll all the qualified electors in this State during the year 1908. Section 2. That the same time the said supervisors shall register all per sons who may make application there for and who may be entitled thereto. Section 3. That for the purpose of such enrolment and registration the said .supervisors shall keep the books of registration open at the several county seats every day (Sundays ex^ cepted) between the hours of 9 a. m. and 6 p. m. during the months of July and August 1908;and in addi tion thereto they shall attend, during the month of September, 1908, at 4east 1 day in each township in their respective counties, of whicn at least ten day’s notice shall be given by ad vertisement in a newspaper publish ed in the county, and in counties con mining fifty thousand -Jnhabitants hey shall attend In each city, town or industral community containing ‘hree hundred <j>r more inhabitants a^ oast one day^ upon similar notice. °rovlded that the provisions of thlr wetion shall only apply to the re-en rolment anu registration for the year 1908. Section 4.

Welch was accompanied by his uncle, W. U. Clyburn, of Haile Gold Mine, father of the young Cylburn killed In the Kershaw affair. The shooting occurred Just as the train was slowing up AT Pleasant Hill. Several shots were fired. Three bullets struck Mobley in the head, causing instant death. Mobley's pis tol showed one empty chamber af ter the shooting, it is said. It is also stated that no words were passed be tween the parties. Mobley left Kershaw Monday af ternoon and drove to Heath Springs, there boarding the Southern train for Lancaster. The trouble between the two men was apprehended. They naturally had little love for each oth er, and it is kaown that Mobley has avoided meeting Welch, Lut no threats have been known to ! pass be- 1 tween them. It is thought that. Moh ley may have driven to HeathSprlpgs, Instead of taking the train at Ker shaw, for the very purpose of evad ing an encounter with Welch, not ex pecting Wdlc^l would board the train .also. The Columbrtl Record says Monday nights tragedy is the aftermath of a pistol duel which took place in Wil^ son's barbarshop at Kershaw on the night of Saturday, December 21st last. On yiat occasion Steven Welch Thomas Clyburn and Berry Mobley, all armed and all drinking to some extent, met in the place in the eve ning. Anget engendered by whiskey and by the irritation surviving from a pre vious quarrel precipitated the trou ble. Berry Mobley remarked that it was a good thing the previous diffi culty had been patched up, as the parties w’ere all good friends At this stage, Steven Welch drew his pistol and struck Mobley over the head with it, then stepping back and began firing. Clyburn, his cous in, rushed forward to prevent the impending homicide, and himself re ceived the first three bullets from Welch's revolver. He dropped to the floor, and expired instantly. Meanwhile Berry Mobley, regain ing his wits after the blow from Welch’s pistol-butt, had gotten his own gun out. He fired two or three times and Welch also fell, expiring at once. Mobley then turned aside, himself hit in three places and with his coat ablaze and walked into the office of Dr. Twltty, which adjoins the barbershop.
