McAdams, also employed as policeman at the Orr mills outside the city limits, was shot down and killed by Webb Simmons, a white employe of the mills, at noon today. Simmons had been drinking considerably during the morning and had fired several shots in the mill village, which had greatly frightened the inhabitants. Mr. W. C. Jaynes. an * employe of the mills, attempted to ! quiet Simmons, whereupon Simmons 1 'A drew his gun on him. Constable ] McAdams came to his assistance and ( Simmons turned his gun on him. Neither McAdams nor Jaynes feared 1 vV that Simmons would shoot and < neither of them took advantage of j > the several opportunities to kill him. ? Finally, after some bantering, Simmons fired, the shot taking effect 1 in McAdams' body, who was 15 feet distant.

Presiding Elder Smith, Ex-Presiding Elder Kilgo, and Mr. Graham Write Letters. The question of who is responsible for the Methodist church having a. part in the erection of the now famous church building at Livingston. Orangeburg county, seems far From settled and from the following letters, published in last week's Southern Christian Advocate, seems 1 * 1* ^.1 w 4- ? *>M/x?f/v1rA /\r Q 1 MQO H \7 lineiv IU yiuturvr wi ucio anvau; caused considerable feeling. All the facts should come out that the responsibility should rest where it properly belongs: To the Editor of the Advocate: In four editorial comment on my arti:le concerning the Livingston church, vhich you published in last week's ssue of the Advocate, I find a matter vhich calls for reply. In that article : disclaimed any conscious voluntary :omplicity with that scheme and do 10 again here and now. But what rou say would lead the public to beieve that I, and I only, of the :hurch's representatives, am reiponsible for the enterprise. I aslume you wish to be fair. If so, you vill fearlessly place the blame, if >lame there be (and you have deinnounced it as most blameworthy) vhere it properly belongs. And vhere does it belong? You, with he facts before you, have used my lame, and mine only, with blame ittached to it. You surely must lave read my article. In it I set orth as clearly as it was possible i 3 inception of the enterprise, and lot until the church was well nigh :ompleted did I come into any manler of association with it. Did no ither officer of the church have anyhing to do with it well-nigh to its :ompletion before I knew of it? I o stated it in my communication, fou could hardly have failed to have ead my article, and yet you men- ' ion no one as bearing blame save ne. Did you think that those men- < ioned were blameless? What about * ? ? Ti?/"I ^ n ne pastor, joiutnci uiauaiu, auu vuv residing elder, Brother J. W. Kilgo, ] oth of whom endorsed it, while I, 1 n the contrary, denounced it? i Surely you did not intend to be artisan, but your comments will ear that construction. You accuse 1 ue of being guilty of not "calling | .nother quarterly conference and ; etting the matter straight." Somehing then was crooked and needed ! traightening. But who was responiole for the crooked thing which ' ou blame me for not straightening? 1 )o you not know? You surely 1 nust not have read my statement, J ?r, if you did. do you justify them in 1 loing the thing which I am blamed or not straightening? You have j lready denounced it. Do you then 1 ondemn them ? j Then, in justice to me, come out 1 ,nd say so, and as explicitly state ( t as you did with me, using their ( tames as you used mine. You say a ( ;reat wrong has been done the hurch. Then say who did it, and J on't sidestep the issue by attach- ^ og blame to one who would not ( could not) stop it before it got, efore the public. The wrong lies 1 tot in the public knowing it, but in ( he deed itself. The fact is, the course I have fol- ] owed has been premeditated. I wait- < d for the issue, which I knew would ?e a public one. Not one thing that have done so far do I see to have >een wrong. The morning before he article in the secular paper appeared in the afternoon, 1 was noified and asked to stop it. I replied hat I would not; that sooner or i ater the affair would be made pub- ' ic, and the sooner the better. I . bought the doings of the church ,nd ministry should be known. The < /hole church was involved, not my- ' elf only. If it was right, let it be < o declared. If it was wrong, let the i hurch so declare. Those equal in s uthority with me had planned and 1 xecuted the whole thing. Was it for ' ne to stop it? "He that doeth truth, i ometh to the light, that his deeds night be made manifest that they i .re wrought in God." The brethren ' already implicated doubtless believe hat their deeds were wrought in iod, and would not hesitate to make nem manliest. \v mi iuai, uuntjti, have nothing to do; but this I 1 enow, that many approved and enlorsed the work done by the Livngston authorities, and some of hese are high in the council of the i ihurch. But the greatest blame attaching o the whole matter lies in the inquity of the dispensary law itself. This I deem to have been conceived . n sin and born in iniquity. This s the judgment of the Methodist :hurch, and I am in utter harmony vith my .church. And I have proven ny faith by my works. In public ind in private, on the hustings and :rom the pulpit, in season and out of season, I have ever given the strength of my heart and mind to its jndoing. Can the editor of the Advocate say as much? I have never ho/j onv- rnmnlioitv with the law, uau w..x v either in its formulation, or voluntarily, in its proceeds, and have so declared from mountain to sea. Can the editor of the Advocate say as much? The people of this whole district, and everywhere else in South Carolina, know by my words and acts'how I stand in relation to the dispensary. I am no barkeeper, nor a voluntary sharer with the barkeeper in any of his gains for any purpose. I have tried to pay back into the State treasury the amount appropriated to the education of my children out of the dispensary funds, but the authorities would not take it, and now, forsooth, with this record behind me, you try to hold me up to the contempt and opprobium of the public as giving encouragement to the people of Livingston in this \yoyk <$T .building tjiat, church with dispensary money, while withal those who did do it receive not one word of criticism, nor are their, names^ t ;v. ? - ?' .r'"' mentioned. Such looks rather peculiar. You say, to quote you exactly: "He (I) even allowed the church extension board at our last conference to donate $70 to this church. It is clear that encouragement has been given to the people of that church to continue in their work." Did I represent the church before that board? I did not meet with it, nor was I asked to meet with it. Some one did represent the church. Who? You know I did not. And even if I had "allowed' it, which it was not mine to do, and you know it was not, would I not have been in the company of those whose names you were so careful not to mention, who "allowed" the church to be started with dispensary money as a Methodist church, endorsed the use of it before a district conference, and worked in harmony with the Livingston authorities to its wellnigh completion? If I signed an application for a donation from the board after I was informed of the situation?which I do not now re member?it is just such as I would do again. The work had been passed on as valid by those whose authority you respect, and I wanted, and so stated, that it should come before the whole church tribunal. If I sinned in that. I am ready to cry, "Peccavi." I am but little versed in editorial ethics, only in the ordinary courtesies of life. As such it seems a little strange to me that your commentary on my letter should precede in the same column the text. I rest with the church the justness of my contention, and leave to you to undo the harm, which I trust was unintentional, that your editorial does me. CHAS B. SMITH. Orangeburg, Feb. 12. Kev. J. W. Kilgo's Letter. Mr. Editor: I am greatly surprised to learn, . through Rev. C. B. Smith's article in to-day's Advocate stent the Livingston church matter, that I am responsible for the . building of that church with dispensary funds. I did not know a church at Livingston was being built at all until last week's Advocate gave me the information. Have no recollection of any conversation on the subject with Rev. J. A. Graham. Am sure I would have known that funds from the dispensary could not be applied to building a Methodist church if such a proposition had been made to me. I recall no such proposition. There was no movement to build a church at Livingston during the year I was presiding elder of the district as the minutes of the quarterly conference will attest. Therefore, I am rot responsible for that church. The discipline, paragraph 463, last clause, reads, "Provided, however, ' oholl Ho iDctt DO IlOUbt; Ui wuiDuip ouait i/v | built unless the authority of the quarterly conference shall first have been obtained." During the seven years I served is a presiding elder, I saw that this law was observed. The records will prove that this law was observed. The records will prove my statement to be true. I never presumed to give consent or authority for buildihg a church anywhere. I could not. The (juarterly conference ulone had such authority and there I willingly left the responsibility. No consent or refusal was given in 1907 to build a church at Livingston, for reason none was asked. The matter for authoritative action came before the quarterly conference during the year, the middle of the year, 1908, and Rev. C. B. Smith was president pf that body. , JAS. W. KILGO. Marion, Feb. 12. Letter From Rev. J. A. Graham. I deem it expedient to say a word in regard to the Ljvingston church. To the article written by Brother L. E. Wiggins I take no exception. It pretty well covers the facts in the case as far as they go. To the article Brother C. B. Smith wrote I enter a iouble protest: First, I deny alleging that Brother Kilgo gave me any authority to build the church. He was never asked for any. All that was ever given was given through the quarterly conference, over which Brother Smith presided. Second* I am quite sure that Brother Smith has mixed his dates in reference to the matter. He alleges that July 11th the committee was appointed by the conference and that July 12th I gave him the information. The error in this lies in that this building committee was appointed at Pine Hill in April, as well as I remember, and on July 12th we had this talk, some three moQths later. The facts in the case are these, as I see them: My predecessor at Norway talked of building a church -j. t Ho nrpnphpd at the I ClL JLdl V IU50IUU. 1AV r. town hall and left an appointment there for me. The town had offered him $500 to build a church there. I was led to believe, whether rightfully or not, that in the acceptance of money and building this church Ii would be only carrying out or con-1 tinuing the efforts of the prior pastor. At the Rowesville district conference I mentioned the fact that a new church could be built at Livingston, and a brother high up in the conference said that if the town will give it, take it. Brother Kilgo entered no protest. This is the substance of my conversation with Brother Smith on July 12th. If Brother Smith was deceived it was not my fault, for I did not practice any deception. The quarterly conference knew well the facts in the case. If this whole affair is unfortunate and fraught with harm to the good name of Methodism, I am sorry; and as a man am willing to shoulder, whatever the consequences may be, my part in the matter. But I want to say to the brethren of the South Carolina conference that this affair was advised, as I conceive it, sanctioned by my work, by the quarterly conference, and by the annual conference, in .that we got an appropriation. I do not desire to enter into any controversy -at. all. I regret very much the whole affair.. I hope that there may be some way presented by which the whole matter may be ad justed without any detriment to the church or its members. J. A. GRAHAM. Editor Nettles Retires. Editor Nettles retires from the fight by saying: We regret the feeling injected into the situation by Brother Smith. It was not and is not the desire of the Advocate either to introduce personalities or to develop a personal controversy over this matter. Such a course would, we believe, result in more serious harm to the church and its members than could have grown out of the original blunder. In our editorial of February 11, which the punctuation shows, was written to follow Brother Smith's disclaimer of responsibility, we spoke as one official of another. It was from a sense of official responsibility and with no shadow of unkind feeling to Brother Smith, that we expressed regret that he had not,, when it was in his power, stopped the further progress of this ratal blunder. For the best interests of the kingdom of Christ, we therefore refrain from further discussion of this subject. Soldier Balks Iteath Plot. It seemd to J.

Darlington, February 20.?Carey Saleeby was arrested at Society Hill this afternoon, charged with rape, alleged to have been committed on a white woman, Mrs. Parker, yesterday afternoon in Chesterfield county. According to the facts known here the woman described Saleeby's horse, buggy and the articles therein with such accuracy that the sheriff had little trouble in spotting Saleeby. Saleeby denies knowing anything of the offense with which he is charged. He appears to be utterly dazed, and not being very familiar with 'he English language, it is rather difficult to get at exactly what he declares about the matter. Saleeby is an Assyrian and is a peddler of notions, trinkets, etc. There are quite a number of the ISaleeby's in this county, and they have all a reputation for industry, sobriety and are regarded as lawabiding. While the circumstances are very much apparently against the defendant, it is hard for those who know him to believe the charge well founded. Much excitement and indignation, it is said, exist in the neighborhood where the alleged offense was committed, and it is asserted that if Saleeby had been apprehended there last night it would not have been necessary to have opened court at Chesterfield next week for the trial of the prisoner.
