Thursday, July 11, 1907 t. , : Governor Ansel has removed from office W. J. Keller, a magistrate of Fairfield county. The charge against him was habitual drunkenness. The i; ' governor has his nerve with him all right, and public officials had better be careful how they look upon the wine when it is red. The board of pardons has postponed until the next meeting the petition of Charles Zissett, who was convicted in this county of murder tK. . . -? r-.y-.i-.

There 0. was much complaint of the citizen !| soldiery during the Spanish-American, war, as to their conduct while traveling especially. The Alabama soldiers who passed through Bamberg last Friday morning are living up to the bad reputation established by the j |?|% citizen soldiers. I mr Col. Henry T. Thompson is out in a card in the newspapers in which |; he vigorously denies that the South t'< > Carolina troops had any part in the jraj" recent riot of the militia at the S., Jamestown Exposition. We are glad '\ to have the colonel's denial, for we p . know that he would not make a statement that would clear his sol*5 ' diers in the slightest unless he knew ? it was absolutely correct in every particular. It is likely that the cotton mill will ? ? erect a warehouse for the storing of R cotton. Our farmers and business - - - - - . ... .. >n. jj?v men should join hands witn tne mm ||? authorities and erect a warehouse ? large enough for the mill and for p/1* storage purposes for the public |v - as well. A cotton warehouse located |; here will be of much benefit to our | Cotton market and thebusiness of the town. It is proposed to erect the Warehouse on the lot opposite the electric light plant and next to the mill, thus putting it on the railroad jgv: > siding where it will be handy for gpfe shipping. The Blackville Scandal. Blackville, July 2 ?Further de: ^, Velopments in the case of Rev. C. M. Billings, recently deposed from the pastorate of the Baptist church here, ||; are to the affect that this drastic action came as the result of a report v which had been circulated about Bil : . lings' conduct with his chambermaid, a neat colored girl, who had been in * his employ for several years. The story was generally reported on the minister recently, but the posi. , tive proof of the charge was not seJ. x'll l.ii 1 4-U^ cured lili ieiw;rs uy uic ^icauici, p which were read at the church consp: ference yesterday, to the negro girl, who had fled to Bamberg, S. C., cleared away the least vestige of doubt and made those who had been the preacher's friends shudder with horror and debasement of his conduct, the like of which was never before known in this community. These letters addressed to the negro V girl at Bamberg told, in many terms of endearment, of the love the minister bore for her, .that he could not live without her presence, and that in |f;*. order to be with her at all times he would leave his home, his wife, and . ?all his friends -and go with her even \\ /to death. > Before coming to Blackville Billf ' ings preached at Waynesville, N. C., Timmonsville and Walterboro, S, C., j&;- and other places. Reported trouble |v- of a nature similar to that here was circulated on the man at Waynepville. Billings married an invalid wife in "KJrvrf Vi Parnlirin and tn thorn was bom a boy, who is still quite small. The physical condition of his wife and the youth of the child greatly increase the enormity of the offense against society and the church. * To Avoid the Rush. Bishop Brewster, of Connecticut, is noted for his funny stories, and his latest is said to be about an old reprobate who decided to repent and announced to every one that whatever wrong he had done should be made right. So a man whom he aad cheated out of a larges um of moneywent around at midnight to demand it. "But what did you come at this hour for and wake me up? Why not wait till tomorrow?" said the old sinner crossly. "I came now," replied the man, "to avoid the rush." I .#v v : r?'7 KILLED BY ACCIDENT. \ x \ t Bishop ville Boy neets Untimely Death' ^ at Darlington. ] Darlington, July 4.?Lide Kilgo, Jj a sixteen-year old boy, the son of Mr. J. P. Kilgo, of Lee county, was al- c most instantly killed at this place ? about 8 o'clock to'night by a shot fir- J ed by Wiley Rhodes, white, at Sam t Teague, a negro. The bullet passed * through the negro's cheek and struck young Kilgo in the middle of the fore- [ head, boring a hole entirely through ? his head ana making its exit at the ? i t / ,i i T DacK oi tne skuii. i * The shooting occurred in Rhodes's fruit store, on the east side of the f public square. Young Kilgo, whose , father, Mr. J. Pliney Kilgo, is one of J the most substantial and highly re- t spected farmers of Lee county, came 1 to Darlington this morning, accom- | panied by his father, to enjoy the * fourth of July festivities here. Mr. * J. P. Kilgo returned to his home to- r night. Young Kilgo, after seeing his * father off, came back to the public square. He had just stepped inside ? the fruit store for the purpose of Jj making a purchase when the fatal Jj shot was fired. J Rhodes has been lodged in the ~ county jail, but it is presumed that * an effort will be made to procure bail v for him. It was not possible to see jj him to-night to obtain a statement ? from him as to his reason for shoot- 11 ing at the negro. It is understood J that the negro had offended him in t some way, one story being that League insulted the mother of Mrs. Rhodes, who was in the store at the j time. All the facts will doubtless be a brought out at the inquest. n Mr. Rhodes, of course, did not in- 1 tend to shoot young Kilgo. But Kil- T go is dead, while Teague is not seri- " ously hurt and is at large. The dead boy is said to have been particularly bright. He had just fin- * ished the course at the Bishopville | graded school and expected to enter * Furman University in the fall. coroner s inquest, Darlington, July 5.?The coroner's inquest was held today in the ? grand jury room at the court house F to consider the killing of young Lide ^ Kilgo, which unfortunate affair oc- t. curred last evening at 8 o'clock in q the fruit and candy store of W. J. Rhodes. , n Sam Teague, the negro, was found c by Deputy Sheriff W. H. Mozingo d at the home of his father about six f miles from town and was brought Jj here to appear before the jury. He 0 was arrested at 1 o'clock to-day. a The negro offered no resistance t ? i - ? i : ana gave as ms reason xor leaving that he was frightened. He seemed J to fear harm on account of certain rumors which had come to his hearing. * A verdict was reached at 5 o'clock c and was as follows: "Lide Kilgo came to his death from a gunshot wound from a pistol in the hands of W. J. Rhodes." > f Messrs. Dargan & Coggeshall, f Rhodes' attorneys, will make appli- ? cation for bail as early as possible, f Kilgo's father arrived last night f( and accompanied the remains of his o son to Bishopville this morning, leaving here on the 8 o'clock train. d The city of Darlington sympathizes deeply with the afflicted families. d While the affair is most deplorable and unfortunate it was, unquestion- g ably, either accidental discharge or a misdirected bullet. The negro claims that Rhodes shot I at him, while Rhodes claims that the C weapon was accidentally discharged ^ while he was engaged in striking the 1 negro. J Our New York Letter. Q Few there are adults, or children, c who have not heard of Tammany a Hall, still less know much about it. r The society will figure in future history and generations to come will s talk of it. Prominent in the social c and public life of the city, state, and r nation, wielding an influence never ] before equaled by any organization { in the world, it is a power in the t land. t TVio cfvn'ptv was fnnnd^d hv Wil- 8 liam Mooney, Aaron Burr until his J cisgrace figured foremost in its ca- * reer. Mooney the founder, was a t patriot; Burr, its first master, the a only leader who led as Wood, Tweed, Kelley, Croker and many others I could not lead, was a politician. t The society has a hold as ever on J the great mass of voters of the city, \ which means influence radiating state ? and national affairs. The organiza- w tion is the undisputed master of the politics of the city and state and ( sways the national elections. It first showed its strength in placing in the : presidential chair Thomas Jefferson. 1 In the memorable campaign result- i ing in the nomination of Cleveland j the first time, Tammany opposed the i then Governor; after the nomination j it fell in line and contributed its j strength to his election. Cleveland < they feared was too strict and would not wink at "graft"?a thing Tammany grows fat on. Several of its leading members have from time to time been charged and convicted and have served sentences for dishonest deals. The name Tammany was taken from an Indian chief named Tamanend, who lived in Pennsylvania. It was originally planned that Tammany societies should be organized all over the country?such were in Philadelphia, Providence and Lexington, Ky. All died a quick death ex- | cept the New York society, which . flourished from the start. At first it was not as now a strictly political organization. The first home of the ] society was in Bardius Tavern. Here { the young patriotic Americans con- ] I gregated to discuss the coming great - ~ a* less of their country and the imlortant role they were to play in the Irama. Shifting its headquarters in ^798 to Nassau and Spruce streets, -he society attracted new members, rhe new place was a tumbledown me story structure, which soon became known as the pig pen. To-day t has its own big'brick hall in Foureenth street, rearing its head in iroud delight. It should be understood thatTamnany Hall is not a political organizttion, as it is generally thought. It gradually got to controlling affairs lolitical until to-day it is head and iars ahead of any or all political powts. "How does Tammany stand?" 'What will Tammany say?" is the irst question that enters into things. Nearly all new comers to the city are mmediately enrolled, once in they ire there to do Tammany's bidding, ^rticularly is this so of immigrants rom across the water. The bold-ft less of Tammany makes men and arties stand aghast. Andrew Jackson was a beneficiary if Tammany, and but for the organzation would never have been presilent. Gigantic undertakings that inlividuals nor1 corporations would dare ackle, this society grasps and carries hrough, be they right or be they prong. It makes or dictates nomilations, controls elections, and oficials in office, gets all the "plums" n contracts, and in short is the great nd mighty of the city, state and naion. H. W.
