KILLED AT HIS FIRESIDE. T. >V. Pcarlstine Shoots and Kills W. M. Creech. Last Saturday night added another to the tragedies of Bamberg county, in which the hands of a man have been stained ' with the blood of his fellow. The killing is all the more deplorable on account of the circumstances connected with it. The dead man was shot and killed at his own fireside, in the presence of and within a few feet of his wife with her baby at her breast. Last Saturday night, a little after 8 o'clock, the news came down town that T. W. Pcarlstine had shot and killed i William Creech at his home on factory hill, and on going to the scene the gruesome sight of the dead man's bod}' met one's gaze, lying near the fireplace of his bed room with two bullets in it. The details of the affair arc very short. Pcarlstine is a young man, an Israelite, and is in business in Bamberg with his father, S. W. Pcarlstine. It appears that he went to Creech's house shortly after dark to collect a debt of eighty cents, which was owing at the store. Creech is employed as a weaver at the cotton mills, and last Saturday was pay day. He had been sick for some days, and was confined to the house. Some dispute arose between the two men as to the payment, and then a young man, Leonard Young, came in and made some reference to the conversation. Pcarlstine then cursed Young and possibly Creech, ami^rcech then remonstrated with himand^Shded by ordering him out of thehousoffellinghim that he would not allow such language in the presence of his wife. Pearlstine drew his pistol at ouce and fired twice, both balls taking effect. One lodged in the back, just below the left shoulder blade, passing through both lungs and the heart, and lodged just under the skin below the right nipple, where it was extracted. This is the wound which caused death. The other bullet struck in the left arm, near shoulder. Creech fell and died instantly. This is practically the testimony of Creech's wife and the other eye-witnesses to the killing, and they also say that the dead man was shot when his back or side was turned to Pearlstine. The position of the bullets in the body corroborate this. Pearlstine left the house immediately and came to his home, and from there lie left town as soon as possible. A warrant was sworn out and placed in the hands of the sheriff, but Pearlstine had already gotten away. Search was made for hiiu, but he could not be found. Telegrams and telephone messages were sent to various points, but he was not apprehended. It is said that he took a buggy through the | country to Olar and from there to Fair| fax, where he took a train. Deputy Sheriff Hunter went to Olar Monday, and parties there told him Pearlstine was seen on the streets there late Saturday night, and that he was carrying his pistol in his hand. The sheriff had telephoned to Olar Saturday night to the magistrate there to keep a look out for and arrest him, but for some reason the message was not received. The sheriff has not given up the chase, and hopes yet to apprehend him. Coroner Besinger held the inquest over the body Sunday morning, Mr. O. A. Rice being foreman of the jury. Four witnesses were examined : Mrs. Creech, Arthur Yarn, Leonard Young, and Herbert Creech, a small son of the dead man. The testimony of them all was in substance what has been stated above. The jury rendered a verdict to the effect that W. M. Creech came to his death bv gunshot wounds at the hands of T. W. Pearlstine. County Physician J. F. Baggott made the . :?? : ? e.\uiuuiaiiini wi mv; uuu^. Creech was about thirty-seven years old, and was born in Barnwell count)', in the Reedy Branch section. He had worked ' in the mills here for three years or more as weaver, and those who knew him say he was a hard-working, industrious man, who was honest and brave. He leaves a wife and live children, all small, the youngest a baby only a few months old. "Tom" Pcarlstine, as his friends called him, is about twentv-tkree years old, and has not been considered of a quarelsome disposition. His friends think lie must surely have been drinking when he committed this rash act. This story of the affair of course comes from the dead man's side. Pearlstihe's version of the difficulty is not known. There is always two sides, and his story may put an entirely different phase on it. The killing occurred some distance from the business portion of town, and it was sometime afterwards before the officers knew of it and a warrant sworn out. This delay gave Pcarlstine time to make good his escape. Home from College. After three long months of hard work there comes a rest from weary labors, ami in their place, perhaps, some joyous times for the college student. To be permitted to lay aside text books, to return home to old friends, and to have a short recreation, these are some of the privileges of the college student, not to mention the many advantages which arc given that one while in college. Bamberg should be proud of the large number of girls and boys who leave their native town that they might represent her in the various institutions of learning in the State. It is very probable that no other town in this State makes just so nne a showing in this way as does Bamberg in proportion to her size. Among the large number who are attending college from Bamberg, we note the return of the following: Misses Mamie and Ethel Howell, Bessie "Lee Black and Ethel Bamberg, Winthrop; Llcwlie Bamberg, Ethel and Lucile Folk, Columbia Female College; Essie Free and Nomie Sandifer, Limestone College; Marie Stokes, Williamston Female College; Hibernia Counts, Converse College; Addie Lou Easterling, Greenville Female College; Clio Cope, Elizabeth College, Charlotte, N.

Death of Mrs Dickinson. Mrs. .Eugenia Dickinson, wife of Mr. Jos. Dickinson, (tied at their home in this city last Friday morning at eleven o'clock, after an illness of only a few days, of congestion. She was taken sick only about four days before her death, but she grew steadily worse until the end came. The burial took place at the family burying ground at Buford's Bridge last Saturday. The burial service was read by Dr. N. F. Kirkland, Sr., a life-long friend of the family, by request of the deceased. Mrs. Dickinson was sixty-six years old at the time of her death, and leaves a husband and several children end grand children, as well as numerous other relatives and friends, to grieve over her death. The children are: G. Moye niAirinom \Tre T, f"? Price. Edirar and . -w. - - -J Clare Dickinson. She was a Miss Moyc and was married to Jos. Dickinson about forty-six years ago, and together they enjoyed a long and happy married lift;. She was a sister , of Mr. M. A. Moye, Mrs. T. J. Counts, , Mrs. J. T. O'Neal, and Mrs. O'Gilvie, all of whom survive her. Mrs. Dickinson joined the Baptist church in early life, t and the beauty of her Christian life and . character was felt by all with whom she came in contact.
