NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE.
Robert Connelly in Jail, but Says
Shooting Was Accidental.
Robert Connelly, a negro, who lived
on the plantation of Capt. J. M. Dannelly,
near Ehrhardt, was brought
here last Friday evening and lodged
in jail on a warrant of Magistrate J.
C. Copeland, charged with having
killed his wife. The killing occurred
last Thursday, and an inquest over
the body of the woman was held by
Magistrate Copeland.
The constable brought along with
him a section of the woman's skull
bone, which had been blown off by a
load of small shot from a gun in the
hands of her husband.
Connelly claims that the killing was
? ? ti 1 - -1 3 u.\
accidental, ne says ne pictieu up nu
gun to go out hunting, and as he was
about to go out the front door of his
cottage with the gun across his
shoulder his wife took hold of the
barrel of the gun behind him, causing
the hammer to strike against the
door facing and explode the charge.
The whole charge entered near the
top of her head, causing almost instant
death.
Court Proceedings.
When The Herald went to press
Wednesday afternoon of last week the
jury was out in the case of Durant
vs. Byrd and Rhoad. A verdict was
returned for the defendants, and that
they pay the balance of purchase
price, $140, and interest from January,
1889.
In the case of J. B. Guess vs. the
Atlantic Coast Line, the jury gave a
verdict of $157.18 against the railroad.
Pearl Lee Bessinger vs. the Mutual
Fire Insurance Go. This was a suit
to enforce payment for an insurance
policy, the property insured having
been destroyed by fire. The jury
gave plaintiff a verdict for $1,457.18,
but the judge granted a new trial.
J. J. Smoak, Geo. R. Bullock, and
J. S. Mitchell were given a verdict of
$25.00 each as damages for being

both cases, and they stayed out about
thirty hours without agreeing on a
verdict.

have such boys as "Shortie" with us.
It is probable that the prospects
for a base ball team for the coming
season are better than has even been
in the history of the school. We
have several real good players, and
with very little practice we will be
able to wipe out everything that
comes down the "pike."
Cadet R. B. Spell spent the latter
part of the week at home with relatives.
The Kilgo Literary Society had a
very lively time at their regular
meeting Saturday night. Query;
Resolved: That the study of Latin
and Greek is a needless waste of
time. Both sides did well. They
brought out some very good points,
both for and against, in a language
and tone which shows that they are
taking a deep interest in the work.
For some time the cadets have
been preparing for a minstrel show
to be given at the C. F. S. chapel
December 6th., and they are still
practicing. It will be first-class, consisting
of singing, music, dancing,
speaking, joke cracking, etc. If you
miss it you'll miss a treat. It is to
be given for the benefit of the ball
team.

CONFERENCE THIS WEEK.
iTethodist Ministers of the State
Gather at Gaffney.
The annual South Carolina conference
of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, will convene in Gaffney
to-day (Wednesday.)
Bishop R. W. Morrison, of Alabama,
will preside. This will be the
first time he has been president of
the South Carolina conference. He
is a great preacher and the conference
will give him a warm welcome.
There will be nothing out of the ordinary
business to transact.
Last year the Creigjiton trial served
to keep interest in the conference,
vvrUl/kU ttrOO kcklrl in rVkliimhin at. a I
WII1U1 WOO ll^iu 111 UUIUluun., v.. ?
high tension throughout the session
prolonged by this trial. This case,
trial of which was held behind closed
doors. Mr. Creighton himself not
being allowed a copy of the testimony
in the case until the trial is reviewed
at the general conference,
will not be touched upon by the coming
conference. So far as the South
Carolina conference is concerned,
Rev. Creighton having been unfrocked
and expelled from membership,
is now no more connected with
the conference.
Not only that, but in the judgment
of well informed laymen Creightonism
will never be a live issue either
in this State or at the general conference,
Members of the conference
and laymen who have served on reviewing
boards at the general conference
say that Mr.; Creighton has
already forfeited his rights in the
general conference by violating' the
church law in preaching while his appeal
was pending.
Expression in another form of
Creightonism?complaint that the
South Carolina conference is run by
a <4ring" of presiding elders in the
bishop's cabinet?was heard at the
recent gathering in Columbia, fair
week of a number of Methodist laymen.
But that those who were instrumental
in bringing this meeting
about did not represent the great
body of Methodist laymen throughout
the State, is shown, it is claimed
by the fact that the opposite sentiment
prevailed among a majority
of those who attended the meeting the
radical element in the gathering being
defeated by the adoption of a resolution
which nullified the object
they were seeking.
According to the remarks made at
the gathering those who called the
meeting think the most urgent need
of the church not only in this
State but throughout the South is
lay representation in the bishop's
cabinet, but they admit that according
to the church law this can only
be scured fropi the general conference.
It was suggested by the more
conservative at this gathering of laymen
that this question of lay representation
in the cabinet should be
agitated in the church conferences,
which choose the delegates to the
twelve district conferences, which in
turn choose delegates to the State
conference. If there is real demand
felt by the representative laymen of
the State for this representation, it
is argued, a sentiment will crystalize
in this way in such force as to be felt
at the general conference.
But many laymen oppose having
any lay representation in the cabinet.
The cabinet consists of the presiding
elders and the only object of lay representation
would be to have the
laymen take part in advising the bishop
as to the assignment of preachers.
The "average" laymen, it is said,
wants to leave this to the presiding
elders, whose business it is to study
the needs of the various charges.
Whether anything will be heard at
the conference from this laymen's
meeting remains to be seen. A resolution
was adopted calling upon
the chairman, Col. R. W. Simpson, to
appoint one or three men from each
district in the State for the ptirpose
of organizing the laymen of the State
and Col. Simpson said he would make
the appointments, but it seems doubtful
whether these appointees will get
together soon enough to make a
showing before the conference at
Gaffney.
Anti-Race Suicide Club.
New York, Nov. 22.?Mrs. Clarence
Burns, head of the Little Mothers'
Aid society, proposes a novel
scheme to increase the number of
births in New York.
She advocates the establishment of
an anti-race suicide club in New
York of members whose duty it would
be to encourage young couples to
raise large families. "I would suggest
a list of prizes for mothers,"
she said. 4 The club might even go so
far as to find suitable husbands for
girls of marriageable age who are
not yet wives. There would be a public
treasury which could be called
upon if need be for mothers who are
too poor to furnish comforts for their
children."
Almost Perfect Clock.
Cleveland, Nov. 24.?A clock has
just been installed in the Case School
of Applied Science in this city which
is so nearly perfect that it has attracted
the attention of the Smithsonian
institute at Washington. As
another mark of distinction tests
have proved that the mechanism is so
accurate that the clock will not vary
more than 15 one thousandths of a
second from the exact time in 24
hours.
The clock will measure the minutest
fraction of a second. Its only rival
in accuracy is said to be a similar
timepiece in Berlin.
The construction of the Case school
clock is so delicate that for protection
it is surrounding by a glass jar,
which is partly a vacuum. To protect
the clock from disturbance the winding
is accomplished by electricity.
BIG CLEVELAND SHAKEUP.
Present Plans Mark Many Men For
the Slaughter.
A transforaration is taking place In
the makeup of the Cleveland American
league team for 11)08. according to reliable
information. The scheme of reorganization,
It is said, calls for the
following changes:
Under present plans of the management
half the pitching staff and half
the infield will be replaced by new
men. There will be a new outfielder
and probably a new catcher.
The pitchers upon whom Lajoie will
rely next season are Joss, Llebhardt,
Thielman and Berger. Bernhard and
Hess, upon whom waivers were asked
some time ago, will figure in deals,
as will also Clarkson, who has failed
to come up to expectations.
It Art mntr At* motr n Af lvi An fhn
liliuauco una.j vi uiaj uvw vu xuv,
Cleveland payroll next season. It will
depend largely on the showing made
by the youngsters whom Larry will
look over In the spring.
If there seem to be two or three
men capable of winning half their
games in fast company, "Dusty," who
is none too well satisfied with his berth
there, may be traded. If, however, not
more than one of the youngsters seems
worth carrying, Rhoades will remain
on the staff.
Great hopes are placed on the two
southpaws the Naps will try out next
season, Lattimer and Graney.
As to the infield, Bill Bradley and
George Stovall are to be replaced, the
former by George Perring and the latter
by Lister, Daubert or Bill Lynch.
When Bradley's hitting fell off in the
spring of 1906 everybody thought it
was only a temporary slump. When
Bradley's arm was broken along in
August he had just begun to rap the
ball hard again, and then there seemed
no doubt he had taken a slump.
Bui this spring Bradley again failed
to hit He has failed all summer. If
he is still in a slump, it is one of the
longest on record. His fielding, too,
has deteriorated this year. Perring's
'great hitting and good fielding had
much to do with keeping Toledo in
first place during a large part of the
American association season. He made
a showing that was never expected of
him by the Cleveland owners when
they let him go, and he will now have
the opportunity that would have been
his this season had Somers, Kilfoyle
and Lajoie had any idea that he was
going to do so well and Bradley so
poorly.
The intention to replace Stovall is
due to two reasons?first, Stovall's

assault on Lajoie with a chair, and.
second, his failure to field up. to his
past performances.
Harry Bay is slated to go solely because
his legs are in such shape that
he is liable to be put out of the game
for weeks by the least wrench, as he
was both this season and last.
Bemis and Clarke will again be

Football and Theology.
Protest having been made that the
game of football is not a proper sport
for students of the theological school
to indulge in. one of the members of
the Princeton Theological seminary
team has prepared a formidable list of
quotations to prove that the game is
referred to in the Bible, and, in fact,
very excellent advice as to playing the
game is found in the Old Testament.
For instance, the time to root at a
critical moment is found in Isaiah
xxiii, 6, "Pass ye over to Tarshish;
howl, ye inhabitants of the isle."
Again, in Isaiah xxii, 18, there is this
comment on the brutality of the game.
"He will surely violently turn and toss
thee like a ball into a large country;
there thou shalt die."
Praise for a good play is found in
Galatians v, 7, "Ye did run well." The
fate of the man who stumbles while
making an end play is summed up in
Psalms xxxviii, 16, "When my foot
slippeth they magnify themselves
against me."
That in the old days it was the practice
to have the center do the punting
is shown in Deuteronomy mil, 15,
"Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked." The
value of knowing the material on the
other side is brought out in Psalms
Ixxiii, 17, "Then understood I their
end."

Curious Effect of a Jag.
Surrounded by a mob of curious
but delighted people, a man walked
up Market street late Saturday night
balancing himself on the car rail like
a tight-rope walker. Ignoring wagons
and street cars, whose drivers
were demanding a clear track, the
slnnrlir'Qnil Mrofllllv ni'flf- I
CtjUlUUllOlr oiuny wiu vw4.v<.?.v r.
ea his way up the street, never veering
an inch from the rail.
"Is he crazy or simply paying a
bet?" queried the crowd. At Tenth
and Market street the rail walker
was halted by a policeman, who asked
him what he was doing. At first
the man refused to answer, but when
the policeman threatened to arrest
him ne said: "I'm a structural iron
worker, and I thought I was on a
girder twenty stories above ground.
When I get jagged the only place I
can walk is on the car rail."?Philadelphia
