KILLS ASSAILANT.
Young While Man Shown Great Nerve J
and Shooting Ability.
Elloree. March 14.?As the result t
of a shooting affray at A. S. Way's j
plantation, about five miles from ]
here, last night about seven o'clock <
Brown Oliver, a negro, is dead and (
Manly Collier, white, familiarly j
known as Top Collier, lies danger- \
ously wounded.
There were no eye witnesses to the j
tragedy. Young Collier drove from (
, his father's place, which is only a ,
i abort distance from the Way home.
11 to deliver a message to Mr. Way and
{ when he reached the front gate spoke
. to the negro and asked him what he
- was doing out there in the dark.
r Thereupon the negro cursed Mr. Col|
lier and began firing upon him at
I close range, the balls taking effect.
. one in the arm. one passing through
* the palm of the hand and another
[ striking him in the mouth, knocking
. out two teeth and splitting his tongue
Mr. Collier, who was armed, fired
* upon the negro three times, each shot
[ taking effect, the last one striking
the negro just below the heart,
i Oliver ran off into the road a few
> yards distant and fell dead.
Mr. Collier was taken into the Way
home, where his wounds w^e dressr
ed, and thence to his father's home.
* His physicians. Drs. Browning and
\ Green, say that it is impossible to
state what will be the outcome of
? his wounds at this time, as they have
| been unable to locate the ball that
struck him in the mouth. He is rest;
ing quietly to-night and it is possible
1 that he will recover.
1 A jury was empanelled and the
1 verdict was in substance in accordance
with the above facts.
The whole affair seems to have
been the outcome of the arrest of
> Allan Way, a fanner of this county.
1 for selling whiskey. Mr. Way was
arrreeted about a week ago and a
' preliminary hearing was held before
Judge Branson of the magistrate's
court, who bound Way and two ne'
groes, charged in the indictment with
' buying of whiskey and distributing
1 it, oser to the court of general ses1
sions. Mr. Way and the negroes are
1 out on bond.
1 Tom Collier, a brother of Manly
* Collier, swore out the warrant
1 against Mr. Way. Mr. Collier stated
to Judge Branson that he would not
be surprised if Mr. Way or one of the
t negroes didn't hurt him or some one
' of his family because of this war
/ant
r It is alleged that Oliver, who is a
t laborer on Mr. Way's place, was in
search of a negro named Gooden,
- who is a witness for the State in the
I case against Mr. Way.

STATE WINS $5,500 VERDICT.
Fury Finds Verdict for State in Berkeley
Shortage Case.
Monck's Corner, March 12.?After
>eing out less than an hour, the Jury
n the case of the State against forner
Treasurer John 0. Edwards and
>thers this afternoon returned a rerlict
against the defendants for the
ull amount sued for. a littie more
:han $5,500.
This has been one of the hardest
'ought cases ever tried in Berkeley

las been contested. The State was
epresented by Attorney General
-oron, Assistant Attorney General De3ruhl
and Solicitor Hlldebrand.
rhe defence was represented by
Messrs. Simeon Hyde and W. A. Hoinan.
Very able arguments were
nade to-day by Solicitor Hlldebrand,
* ho opened for the State; by Messrs.
iyde and Holman. who followed for
he defence, and by Attorney General
^yon. who closed for the State.
Following the charge of Judge
Sage, who has presided at the trial,
he jury retired, and in about half
in hour returned with a verdict for
he State for the full amount sued
or.
The case grows out of an alleged
shortage in the accounts of the former
treasurer and the suit was against
lim and his bondsmen. Mr. Edwards
?as reappointed to office for the third
:erm in January. 1907. He took
tffice. and his sureties were Messrs.
Yank Read, S. L. Crawford and W.
?. Lanier. In December. 1907, upon
he examination of his office by the
Comptroller General's office as re
luired by law. It was found that there
ras an apparent deficiency of considerable
else. No settlement was
nade. and in a short time thereafter
Governor Ansel suspended Mr. Edcards
and appointed Major Browning
m treasurer in his stead. The suit
ras subsequently brought against
4r. Edwards and bis sureties.
The point at issue in the trial was
rhether or not testimony could be
ntrodnced showing entries made In
he books prior to February 25.
L907. at which time the last bond
ins given. Judge Gage held that
rhile Mr. Edwards was responsible
mly for such amounts as were in his
lands at the time the bond was given
rod for those coming Hnto his hands
Lfterwards. still testimony could be
ntrodnced with reference to entries
irior to the date in question. The
State, following this ruling, contenwk1
that under a former settlement be:ween
the treasurer's office and the
Comptroller General's office, signed
by Mr. Edwards, the presumption
ras that on the date the bond became
iffective there was in Treasurer Edrards's
hands the amount of money
he books showed ought to have been
here.
A motion for a new trial was made
>y the attorneys for the defence and
ras denied. An appeal will be taken,
t to reported. '
