Mills Multiplying South.
In regard to Southern cotton manufacturing
we can eafcily say the mills of the
South are still multiplying, and large additions
are being added to mills over this
section. In North and South Carolina,
Virginia,' Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisana, Mississippi,
Missouri. Tennessee and Texas it was reported
that there were 480 mills in operation
in 1899-1900, an increase of 30 over
the year before, while there are 84 new
mills now completed or under construction,
and to be in operation at the beginning
of the new year. Besides these,
there are 53 mills projected by organized
companies, who are making actual prep'
arations to build. The 617 mills to be in
operation in 1901 will be able to consume
2,000,000 bales of raw cotton per year, or
about half the amount consumed by the
entire Union.

Scrubs Cows Teeth.
"According to tradition," says the Philadelphia
Record, "there was once an old
woman who kissed her cow and said,
'Everyone to his own taste.' Out at Bustleton
there is a 'gentleman farmer' who
can give the aforesaid old woman cards
and Spades and beat her at her own game.
He does not kiss his cows, but does something
more remarkable. He actually
scrubs their teeth with a large tooth
brush! This man has many peculiar
:r. ideas about his live stock, and particularly
his cows which are of the very linei?
breeds. So cautious is he about their
eating and drinking that all the water the
* cows used is distilled. It is said that, lie
. has a toothbrush for each cow, and, as he
cannot dc{>end on his men to do the
brushing, he does it himself, using the
very best Castile soap. He feels that in
adopting this course he is assured of pure
milk, free from the possibility of microbes."
Catarrh Cannot be Cured.
With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and |
in order to cure it you must take internal J
remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken I
I internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh j
Cure is not a quack medicine. It was j
prescribed by one of the best physicians j
in this country for years, and is a regular j
prescription. It is composed of the l>est,
tonics known, combined with the best!
blood purifiers, acting directly on the;
mucous surfaces. The perfect coinbina-!
tion of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonials free.

see deceased after he was shot; found
the body lying in path crossing the
campus, 111 front of Fitting School building,

and eight smaller shot had taken effect,
three buck shot had penetrated the liver;

minutes after being shot; lived about one
minute after I reached him; died before
body was remdVed ; examined telegraph
pole and wall of school building; body
was in direct line between tliesc marks oh
wall and pole. In order not to have been
wounded in right arm, it must have been
either vertical, horizontal, or behind him;
his right side would not have been exposed
to party near pole without turning
around; there was considerable internal
hemorhage from the wound; would have
been capable of using his arms and possibly
his feet after being shot; would not
be any paralysis as regards motion of the
limbs; could tell from the way the left
foot was drawn up that he had control of
his limbs; deceased was a small man,
didn't weigh over 110 pounds j\nd was
about five feet in heighth. The coat and
vest of deceased were here exhibited, and
the position of the wounds pointed out by
witness. He said some of the bullets did
not pass through the coat and entered
from the inside, therefore the coat was
unbuttoned and open when deceased was
shot
L. N. BELLINGER
who made a plat of the ground, explained
his plat and the grounds to the jury.

testified that she was sitting on the piazza
of the girls' boarding hall; saw Mr. Joe
Brown drive up in front of Mr. Johnson's
house; saw Mr. Belliriger coming across
campus with a newspaper in his hands,
saw Mr. Johnson come out of his gate,
walking very fast with his gun in his
hands; did not look like he was exactly
behind the post, though he was near it; I
when he got near the post he held up his
gun and shot Mr. Bellinger; didn't know
anything about a gun but sounded to me
like Mr. Johnson shot once; when gun
fired Mr. Bellinger had his paper in his
left hand; saw him when he raised his
hand, but couldn't tell whether he had
pistol in his hand or took it from his
pocket; as he was falling think pistol
tired twice; when Mr. Bellinger fell Mr.
Johnson raised his gun the second
time, but did not shoot, and turned and
went back in his house, walking very fast,
with gun still in his hand.
MISS Lt'LIE BAMBERG
testified that she was with Miss Brabham
on piazza; saw Bellinger as he come
across campus; saw Mr. Johnson come
out of his house with a gun; Mr. Joe
Brown had driven up in front of his gate;
Mr. Johnson crossed the road in front of
buggy, by telegraph pole; suspected something
was wrong; had heard they were
not friendly; walked to the door, did
not want to see a fuss; heard a loud report
and saw Bellinger falling and shooting;
Mr. Joe Brown drove up 011 the
campus, looked at the body, and drove oil';
Mr. Johnson walked back to his house, he
did not go to the body; the loudest report
was first; did not sec Bellinger draw his
pistol as I had turned; Joe Brown went
to body first, but did not get out of his
buggy; Frank Johnson went to body next;
Bellinger shot several times, don't know
exactly how many; don't know how many
times Mr. Johnson shot; at first both

testified that he was in his garden about
100 yards from the scene of the shooting;
he heard two shots coming almost simultaneously
and two or three shots following
not quite so rapidly; the gun shot.as
I judged from the report, was one of the
first; the first and second shots came
almost together, one of which I-judged
to be a gun because of the loudness of Unreport
as distinguished from the others;
have had considerable experience with
guns; twelve buckshot is the usual load ;
couldn't put 10 buckshot and any smaller
shot in a shell if you put in any powder.

Mr. Rice came up about that time; Bellinger

once or twice. I saw a gray horse attached
to buggy. Did not see Mr. Johnson.
c. A. BEST
testified that he was a lawyer and lived in
j Barnwell; his office was next to that of1
Mr. Wm. T. Bellinger in Barnwell; that
he had a conversation with Bellinger, the
exact date he did not know, but it was
some ten days, two weeks, or maybe
three weeks before the killing. We were
talking about the Churches in Bamberg
and the division among the people; Bellinger
said one reason was the character
of the preacher at the Baptist church here.
I asked him hadn't his father and Johnson
had a row in the last few days; told
him I had heard of it. He said: "Yes, I
have heard of it myself, but when I go
down there I'll straighten it up; I'll fix
him." I told him lie had lietter mind,
Mr. Johnson was a good man physically
and would get the best of him. lie said:
"Oh, no, I wouldn't have any dog fight
in the street with him like he and Price
had; I will fix him other ways." That
was the substance of the conversation we
had as to this case. I did not tell Mr.
Johnson about this conversation until
the last term of court. I think Col.
Counts was present when I told him; did
not tell any one before the killing; of his
own knowledge never knew of Mr. Bellinger
being drunk in his life or being in
any fuss; believed him to lie brave and
truthful. He stated that his firm had
been employed to represent Mr. Johnson.
.T. c. MOVE
testified that the day before the killing
Mr. Johnson came to the store of D. II.
Counts ?.v Co., whom i am worKing ior,
anil asked mo to go to his house and help
him put a negro out of his yard. I told
him all right, I was busy, but as soon as I
got through I would get a wheel and
come up; he went out the store. As soon
as I got through I went up, stopping at
my house to get a pistol, which I put in
my pocket. When I got in front of Mr.
Bellinger s I saw Willie sitting on the dividing
fence between the yards of Johnson
and Bellinger; he had on 110 coat,
and I saw a pistol in his back pocket. I
went in Mr. Johnson's back gate and
met him at the steps. He asked me for
my pistol; I gave it to him and he put it
in his inside pocket, and told me he wanted
to see if he couldn't make that negro
get out of his yard; he went 011 front
pia/./.a and 1 followed him, and he told
this negro man.to stop painting and get
out of his yard. The negro stopped and
Willie Bellinger told him to paint on;
Mr. Johnson told Walker lie meant for
him to get out of his yard. Mr. Bellinger
said: *1 mean for you to paint that
fence." Mr. Johnson said: "Walker, I
tell you for third time to get out of my
yard, if you don't I will put the fullest
extent of the law behind you." With
that lie stopped and got near to the gate
mumr out. Mr. Bellinger called him back.
and asked liirn if he was going to paint
Ins fence; he said no, he was afraid.
Bellinger said ; "Afraid of what, that
(t? d? long legged ." Mr. Johnson
said: "Mr. Bellinger, you can't go
outside of that gate and call me that."
Bellinger jumped down otT the fence with
pistol in his hand and went outside the
gate two or three steps and cursed Johnson
for the same thing again. Johnson
went out of the gate and then said : "I
see you are armed, eh," and walked back
to where I was on the piazza; he asked
me, ' what can you do in a case like this."
I replied "you can't do nothing." I think
his wife and children were in hearing.
Am not in the habit of carrying a pistol,
but didn't know but what I mi<rht need it
and put it in my pocket. When Mr.
Johnson walked out he had pistol in his
pocket; he kept the pistol a da}' or two;
I got it from him in the parlor of the jail
three days after he was arrested. I believe,
lie took it out of his coat pocket. Mrs.
Bel 1 in ire r said something: I don't remember,
didn't pay any aitrntiun to it. Mr.
Johnson said: "Hush up," that lie had
heard that sonir before. 1 think those
were the words he used. Don't remember
that Bellinirer cursed Johnson when i
lie said this. Bellinirer had the drop on
Johnson when he went out the irate.
Bellinirer cursed Johnson about the
paiutinir and not in reply to anything
that Johnson said to liis mother.
JOK UKOWN
testified that Mr. Johnson married him to
Mr. Willie Belli Hirer's sister last June a
year ago; that he eame in town the mornimr
of the killing: heard of the trouble
the day before, and went to Mr. Johnson's
house; I told him 1 was sorry t<* hear of
it; he had started down town for his
mail, and I took him in my buggy: I got
out at Jones's stable and he went on with I
the buggy to the post ofliee; 1 afterwards ]
went there; after a while he left and |
went home; when I trot ready to go 1
went by his house, ami he eame out to
the irate to speak to me about fence. In
the meantime Bellinger was coming
across campus; my horse was a little
fretful; I jerked him and he jumped
back, and just as he did Bellinger tired ;
I think he tired the second time before
Johnson shot; then he fell and I think
there were two more shots afterwards;
my horse was moving in the direction of
Mr, Bellinger's when Mr. Johnson came
out and spoke to me; the horse kept j
movimr while we were talking until we j
rot up l?v the line fence between Mr.
Bellinger's and Mr. Jonson's yard; it
was there that I reined the horse up sharp j
and ho jumped back; Johnson and j
Bellinger were about 2."> or JO feet apart i
at that time; as soon as they came in J
view of each other Bellinger commenced
tiring on Johnson; when Johnson shot
Bellinger fell to the ground instantly:
seemed, to me he fell backwards; Mr.
Johnson turned around and went back
to his house; Mr. Johnson shot once
with a double-barrel gun; when he stalled
back I believe I said "1 will go down
town ami let them know what has
happened up here." I didn't say "don't
shoot him any more; you have killed him
already; go in the house." I don't remember
saying that I said I knew who
shot first." I didn't drive up on the
.li.il>'*- ir/\ nnnr tlw? limlv Rf'II
, viivin t v.iv .?wx.,. ..
inger fired four times as well as I could
understand. I had told Johnson his life
was in danger from Bellinger; don't
know of my own knowledge how Johnson
got the gun. I went to Mr. Johnson's
to talk with him about building of a
fence between his place and Mr. Bellinger's.
When I went to the post office
I saw Bellinger in the lobby. Mr. Johnson
was in back part of post office; I was
in the hack part myself. Col. Counts,
John Blume, Charlie Free, and the postmistress
were in there also. I saw a
pistol in an open drawer there, and I
told them I wanted to take it with me as
I had some trouble at home, and I took
it with me when I started home; the J
trouble was with a negro on my place. I
went in the back part of post office to
talk to Col. Counts about building this
fence. As well as I remember Bellinger's
second shot was about with Johnson's
shot or maybe a little ahead, then he fell
and shot twice; didn't go to the body because
there was nothing I could do and
didn't suppose he would want me if I
could do anything. I met Col. Counts on
the street on horseback as I went down
j town after the shooting; told him .Johnson
had killed Bellinger; he was going
in that direction ; i met him by Jones's
stable; I went back up there; Bellinger
was still on the ground, I went up to
where lie was. I was going to Otis
Simmons's on 1113* way home to get him
to go home, with me; if I had any trouble
wanted him to help me. At the time Mr.
Johnson was tired on he was two or
three feet from the horse. I did not say
in II. C. Folk's store, that Willie Bellinger
ought to Ik? killed and that Johnson
ought to have killed him; when I went
in the store they told me that Johnson
and young Bellinger had a terrible time
the evening before; that young Bellinger
and his mother had abused Johnson for
everything they could think of and Mr.
Folk said, "It's a shocking shame for a
man to have to take what Mr. Johnson
has gone through with" and he says that
I said somebody ought to make him take
it back, but I don't remember saying it.
Don't remember Mr. Folk telling mc-that
I ought to be ashamed of myself for talking
that way. Testified that he did remember,
while riding with Mr. Connelly,
that he met Willie Bellinger; that
he said to Connelly, "There's the man
that said I am a s? of a b?, and I
married his sister." I did not s^- "There's
the s? of a b? whose sister I married."
The reason I didn't go to the funeral was
because his father had said so many hard
things about me I didn't think I would be
welconft'.
THOMAS FEEDER
testified that he was in Brooker's hardware
store on the day of the Rivers's
Bridge memorial; Hooton Felder and
myself were talking; Mr. Bellinger came
in and got a pistol out of the show case
and started to load it. Hooton Felder
said, "if you want one to depend on, you
had better not take that one," and handed
him another. He stepped out the door
and met Mr. Brooker; they both came
back and went to the desk, had a conversation,
and when Bellinger started out
Brooker said: "I don't blame you,
but you better keep it to yonrsclf." Just
before Bellinger got to Hooton and
myself, he said : "I'll shoot the dam s?
of a b?." He went on and I didn't see
anything more of him; Bellinger came
from direction of the court house, and
went back that way; I knew court was
in session ; he didn't mention Johnson's
I name at all.
j S. II. SANDERS
j testified that he went up to Mr. Johnson's
I house the day before the killing, in conI
sequence of what he had heard; from
what I could see thought there Mas a
storm raising; I loaded four shells with
buck shot and small shot for Mr. Johnson
; put in 12 buck shot, filling the
spaces with small shot, and carried them
and a breech loader gun to Mr. Johnson's
1.^....... T tlm (nut . f'nl
HUll.U- , A 4\'UVILU WIV, ^Itu ^ V . .. v wM..v.
went with me; it was some time in the
afternoon; I loaded those shells bceause
I believed somebody was going to get
: killed, Mr. Johnson had a wife and live
I small children to support, and I thought
it his duty to defend himself; that was
one of my reasons for loading those
shells, the other was just the spirit that I
think any true American citizen would
have, that if a man's home was to be invaded
with threats and abuse, in the presence
of his family, I would give him my
gun. Col. Counts gave me the shells to
load; I asked Mr. Johnson not to go 011
the streets without a gun and to defend
himself, that he had a wife and live children
to support and owed it to them; I
took out the shot that were in the shells
and reloaded them ; shot I took out were
No. 2; when I loaded the buckshot 1
would put in the smaller shot, shake them J
down, and then put in another layer; did
the same.way until the shell was full,
the gun belonged to Alex. Kasterling. It
had been in use. Col. Counts brought
it to my house. Knew of the difficulty
between Johnson and Willie Bellinger;
1 went up there shortly afterwards. Saw j
the gun after the shooting, it was in Mr, j
Johnson's parlor; 1 went there from the
inquest to keep the deputy from going j
down there and getting thegun. I didn't
think it was any of his business to have'
it. I took the gun and put it in another j
room; told him to come in and find it.
Another reason was 1 thought Mr. John-1
son still needed his gun ; that if an enter-!
gen cy needed it he ought to have it again, j
Mrs. Johnson was almost crazy anyway. \
and 1 didn't want him searching her j
house. 1 thought the proper tiling to do j
was to put the gun away till the proper
time came to bring it up. 1 carried Johnson
to the jail. Don't remenil e w hether
it was before or after the inquest; am a j
son-in-law of Col. Counts.
w. II. ISAM HERO
testified that he was working on Mr. C.
W. Rentz's new house, between 100 and
loO yards from the school; heard three or
four shots tired, looked up and saw a gun !
fired; saw a man turn around w ith a gun
after firing it and walk back into his gate;
said to be Mr. Johuson; never had seen
him before; didn't know who he was un<
J . ~'x - -
til I asked, and was told it was preacher
Johnson. i>id not see the object he shot
at: 1 could not see Mr. Bellinirer. The
fourth shot was a irun : I saw the sntoke
come out of the irun. When he tired lie
was oil the cdire of the street next to tlie
school house. I had a conversation with
Aaron Rice. Mr. II. ('. Folk may have
been there; I did not say then that I saw
nothiti!; and knew nothing about it. I
did not tell Mrs. Brooker that 1 heard
shots, saw smoke, but didn't see anybody
and knew nothing about it.
w. u not.in
testified that he was sittinir in the chapel
of I'arlisle Fitting School; when 1 heard
lirst shot tired didn't pay any attention;
then I heard 'J or ' > shots one riirht after
the other. I raised and looked out the
window and saw Joe Brown sitting in a
bittriry. and then saw Mr. Johnson behind
a telephone pole with a irun up and he
shot and then I saw Mr. Bellinirer on the
ground. .Mr. IJrown then went oil in Ins
buggy ami Mr. Johnson went to his house.
1 saw Mr. Bellinger on the ground I
suppose a minute after Mr. Johnson
shot?as soon as I could walk from one
end of the chapel to the other. The first
report I heard was the loudest. I thought
a mm had made it. I heard 'J or J shots
after that before I saw Mr. Johnson
shoot. I saw where shot hit the school
building, knocked olT a little of the brick.
KinYAKD SPANS
testified lie was in chapel when he heard
report of a gun, or tiring which sounded
like a mm. It was about o seconds before
the second shot fired and then they were
J or J one right after the other. I jumped
up and looked out the window and saw
Mr. Urown sitting in a buggy holding his
horse; lie seemed to be trying to run
away; Mr. Johnson was behind telegraph
post; he raised a double barrel gun to a
shooting position and tired. I saw Mr.
Bellinger on the ground as soon as I
walked to the window, S or lb steps.
Mr. Johnson was standing directly behind
the telegraph post from where I was
standing: I couldn't tell if he was from
where Mr. Bellinger was. When Mr.
Johnson tired he took his gun down and
looked around the post in the direction
he shot a couple of seconds and turned
and walked to his house. The tirstthing
I saw was Mr. Urown, then I saw Mr.
Johnson, and when I went to the window
I saw Mr. Bellinger. Mr. Johnson was a
I couple of feet behind the post, aimed his
run from right hand side of post. When
Mr. Brown turned?he turned up on the
campus and turned down olT it. The
next time I saw him he was where the road
crosses. I heard Bellinger murmur: "Oh,
my God ! my mother!" after I got out to
the door. M r. Brown's horse was nervous
and excited; he was moving. I did not
see the horse before the shooting, but I
saw him before I saw Mr. Johnson shoot.
c. M. JOHNSON
testified that he was at the new building
of Mr. Rent/, on the piazza, and heard 4
or 5 shots that came in rapid succession
and in the meanwhile there was another
shot of a different kind that broke in on
it. The series of shots seemed to be all
the same. That he was a first cousin of
the defendant; that the loud report broke
intothe middle of the series of shots; it
was not first or last.
v. j. iiartzoo
testified that lie was about 300 or 400
yards from Fitting School, about opposite
Mr. Murphy's, and heard 3 shots. The
first two shots didn't make as loud a noise
as the last one. The last two were close
together; the last was the loudest.
t. c. ROUTS
testified that he heard 3 gun shoots; the
first 2 sounded likea pistol,3rd likeagun.
The 2nd and 3rd were very near together;
he was in a vacant lot behind Mr. Henry
Folk's store; there was a mistake somewhere
in the affidavit which he signed
saying: "I first heard two shots then a
little pause followed by a gun shot and
then another pistol; there were only 3
shots.*'
col. t. j. counts
testified that he was behind his store
talking and heard about 4 shots, I thought;
I was satisfied in my mind that the pistol
fired first 3 times and then the gun shot
fourth. I got on a horse and rode up
there; when 1 got there I found the body
of Bellinger; I heard that he was killed
by Johnson ; the day before the tragedy,
in consequence of what he heard, he told
Mr. Johnson his life was in danger and
borrowed a gun for Johnson and with
Saunders took it to Johnson: lie sent for
some buck shot and Harrrv Saunders
loaded the shells, taking out small shot
enough to put in 12 huck shot; put two in
the gun and carried two to Mr. Johnson.
Johnson has Itornc more than any man I
have known of in my life in point of
abuse; was 200 or 2o() yards from scene
of difficulty but could tell difference
between report of a gun and a pistol. The
third shot and the gun shot came almost
simultaneously but I thought I could discover
that there was a third shot before
the gun tired; remembered having a conversation
in the presence of Mr. Stokes
and others; that I had tried repeatedly
to settle this thing between Mr. Bellinger
and Mr. Johnson and all efforts had
failed to make any peace between them,
and 1 could suggest nothing more. I
have no recollection of saying that if
trouble came up I would help Johnson,
but I fully intended to render him all the
assistance possible should an issue ever
be made under the circumstances that
then existed. That he knew Willie Bellinger
was to have been married anil was
very sorry that he did not live to marry;
that he was a very clever fellow and that
he thought a great deal of him. I gave
Mr. Johnson the gun to kili the negro or
any one else who went on his premises;
1 gave him the same advice I would give
any man whose rights were imposed
upon; I told him to allow no man to go
in that yard because they had frequently
done so and abused him, and the time had
come to stop. He made a wide mistake
not to kill the negro when he ordered him
out and he refused to go. I would have
killed him and so would any other man,
because the painter had no rights there
whatever. 1 furnished him with the gun.
I will state that I would have-,done as
much for Jno. R. Bellinger; men are not
born to be imposed on in this country.
That lie told Saun lers to get the gun
from Johnson's house because he didn't
want Mrs. Johnson interfered with by
constables; Saunders carried it to my
house and I kept it till Mr. Johnson got
out of jail, when I carried it back to him
and he has had it ever since. I did not
say to Henry Free that 1 was afraid they
would get us all into it before they were
done Willi li or inrougu wmi u; mure
wasn't a word of truth in that. That in
the conversation with Stokes lie went
over the whole story: told him that I was
going to or had seen Mr. Bellinger and
see if I couldn't put a stop to this thing
between them: I told him that while Mr.
Johnson was absent from his house Mr.
Bellinger had gone in his yard and dug
up about 20 inches of dirt and thrown in
his yard, and when he got through
there were parts of old hoards nailed oil
the fence where he had taken the dirt
(int. and that Mr. Johnson had agreed
! that Mr. Bellinger could paint hispailings
! provided he would paint these boards;
that lie told Mr. Bellinger to make out
the bill and he would pay for it: that Mr.
Bellinger demurred, but I thought he had
agreed to it: that the next day Mr. Bellinger
said he had thought the matter
over and didn't think I ought to pay for
painting done for him. That he wound
up by telling Stokes there was no chance
of making peace. That when a man's
friend and pastor is imposed upon like
Mr. Johnson, Christian spirit goes out
the door. That the fence referred to was
a line fence, but belonged to Mr. Bellinger.
I). I. K. KKI.PER
testified that a man-could not stand right
up against the telephone post referred to
in this case without holding to the post,
the ground slopes oil so much. He had
examined it on Wednesday for the purpose
of testifying in this case, which was
the first time he saw it. Did not know
whether the streets had been worked in
the last day or two.
J. C. SUITES /
testified that a man could n't-stand right
up against the. telephone post, because
the ground is too slanting; that he could
