Negro Kills Two of His Race Without Provocation, j Aiken, May 31.?Several posses of negroes and white people are to-night scouring the woods for James Robin* son who this morning shot and killed two negro women at Bath. The dead women are Fannie Brown and her daughter, Willie Brown, both of whom bore good reputations around Bath. * The reason for the murders is not Tf la fhot Rfth. IMIU w u uci C. X b AO vvu VU?*W AWW inson paid the negro women a visit yesterday and this may have had some relation to the murder to-day. The women lived at McNames & company's chalk beds, about a mile from Bath. This morning they were at work in a cotton field, hoeing cotton. Robinson came up to them and commenced cursing. One of the women asked him, "What is the matter, Jim?" upon which he answered, "Don't ask me what the matter is. You know what the matter is." At almost the same moment, he raised his rifle to his shoulder and fired at the girl, the shot striking her on the left elbow, shattering the arm. Proceeding, the ball went through th.e woman's side. Th^negro then turned his gun upon the j^l's mother, shooting her twice, instantly killing her. A negro boy was working with the women. Robinson turned after killing the two women and ran, knocking the , boy down, but not otherwise hurting him. ' * , The sheriff was immediately wired for by F. E. Henderson, manager of . the chalk bed, and requested to bring , the county blood hounds. The dogs, . however, were not available. Other dogs failed to follow the track of the fleeing negro, whose trail led toward Beech Island. Hasty posses were formed of both whites and negroes, who were alike intent on capturing the murderer. It was rumored this afternoon that Robinson had been arrested in Augusta. The people of the community are very indignant over the brutal occurrence. V 7 Constable Kills Negro. Newberry, May 31.?Considerable excitement was caused in Newberry Monday afternoon by a report - received from Saluda county, just across the line that as a result of an attempt on the part of Mr. M. Q. Chappell of this city to arrest a negro, there had been considerable trouble, and several Newberrians immediately left in automobiles for the scene of the reported trouble. When they reached the place, however, everything was quiet, but last 1 night the negro who had resisted < died as a result of the wound inflicted ? upon him by Mr. Chappell Monday E afternoon, when the negro drew his 1 shot, gun upon Mr. Chappell in his 1 resistance to the arrest. ( Mr. Chappell had a warrant for 1 Wade Abney, a negro living on Mr. 1 A. L. Coleman's place, charging Ah- I ney with disposing of property under c lien. Mr. Chappell went to Abney's * home with the warrant to make the arrest, but Abney refused to come } with Mr. Chappel^ and, as stated, 8 drew his shot gun upon Chappell, 1 whereupon Chappell shot him with 1 his pistol. The negpo then ran and wasvmet near his house by his son, Ben Abney, who took the shot gun and met Mr. Chappell with it. Mr. Chappell having only a pistol and being within range of the shot gun s went to Mr. Kempson's place to get 0 -??* ?j. ?? _?x i_ _ c a snoi gim, antr upuu iciuiuiug iu the place with Mr. W. F. Coleman z found the negro Wade and his son both gone. It was learned here this morning that the negro Wade died last night as the result of the wound, and the inquest is being held this morning. ^Several of the Newberrians who went over to Saluda Monday afternoon went back Tuesday morning in an automobile to attend the inquest. Spirit of Yoong America. A teacher in a Philadelphia public school recently narrated the following i account^ of how an aspiring young t Italian citizen was beginning to show the effects of an American environ- c ment. The story, which was told at a teachers' association meeting, runs something like this: Tony had been away from school about a week, and when he showed up one morning the teacher asked c him where he had been. "I ran away," said Tony. "Ran away? What did you do that for?" asked the teacher. "My father was going to lick me, c so I thought I'd run away," was the I reply. The teacher by further questioning i brought out' tljie fact that Tony for some trifling dereliction had been i threatened with a beating and had stayed away from home the best part of a week. s "But your father has the right to 1 whip you," said the teacher. "Yes, he may,'" added Tony, "but I t was born in this country and I don't i want no foreigners to lick me."? t Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. i NEGRO KILLED BY OFFICER. TWENTY-FIVE ARRESTS MADE BUT DAY IS QUIET. Five Thousand Negroes Gather to Celebrate Decoration Day?Less Than Usual Disorder. Beaufort, May 30.?Decoration day in Beaufort passed with one fatality and about 25 arrests. Policeman H. W. Wallace, a negro, shot and killed Charles Seymour of Saint Helena Island, after Seymour had shot cii, Hit? yuiitciiiau ivui nmvo, Only about half the usual number of town negroes that usually participate in the decoration day celebration were in Beaufort to-day. Three steamers brought excursionists from Savannah, one steamer came from Charleston and numerous gasoline and harbor craft brought in negroes from the adjacent' sea islands. At least 5,500 negro excursionists came in early in the day and while there was some drunkenness and 25 arrests for minor offenses, the day was much more peaceable than many former decoration days have been. Policeman Wallace had arrested a negro about 2 o'clock this afternoon for cursing and raising a disturbance on the streets. As he went down to the Savannah dock, Seymour asked him if he was the man who had arrested the fellow from St. Helena for cursing. Upon Wallace saying he was, Seymour applying a vile epithet, ool-'Qil nrViir ha arroct Vl 1 m aoA^u n uj uv uiuu v vwv Policeman Wallace did arrest him and after goipg about fifty feet Seynour jerked away from the policeman and began shooting at him. The first shot struck the scabbard of the policeman's revolver and the other three bullets passed through his coat as he jumped from side to side dodging the shots. After the fourth shot Seymour's pistol caught and the policeman drew tiis gun and fired once, the bullet striking Seymour on the left side of the skulj, fracturing the bone and causing concussion of the brain, from svhich he died an hour later. A good aiany threats were made against the policeman by visiting negroes, but everything is quiet t'o-night and nearly all outsiders have left town. Wallace has been a policeman for the past three years and bears a good eputation. The coroner's jury at 8 j'clock returned a verdict that Sey nour came to his death from a pistol n the hands of Policeman Wallace vhile in the discharge of his duty. Undue Familiarity. Washington, May 31.?Undue faniliarity between the white soldiers )f the One Hundred and Twentyleventh coast artillery at Fort Frenont, St. Helena Island, S. C., and the legro men and women living in the leighborhood of the post, was the ;ause of the peppering with shot of lalf a dozen of the soldiers May 9, ast. This is the substance of a re)ort made to the adjutant general by >ne of the inspectors who made an nvestigation of the affair on the spot. , 'Blind tigers" and "boot leg whiscey" played the usual part in the i iffair. As a result several of the enisted men are to be tried by courtnartial. Barnwell's New Bank. Work on the new East Main street milding of the Home Bank of Barnveil has progressed sufficiently to ihow that when completed, in a :ouple"of months time, it will be one >f the handsomest, most up-to-date tnd perfectly appointed business docks in all lower Carolina. The home of the bank will be in he Eastern section, which will be >right with daylight and brilliant vith fixtures. Merchant J. A. Porter i las leased until next January, with >ption to purchase for $4,000, the jommodlous middle store, while the iVestern one has been definitely sold o Merchants Moseley & Falkenstein. ?Barnwell People. A Reluctant Candidate. During a local election in a Gernan town only one man appeared at he nomination desk. . "Whom do you nominate?" in[uired the official. "Myself," was the answer. "Do you accept the nomination?" "Well, no." The officer laughed and said: "Then we must try again. Whom lo you nominate?" "Myself." "You accept the nomination?" "No.'-' A subdued "Donnerwetter!" esaped the lips of the perplexed official, >ut he went on: "For the third time, whom do you lominate?" "Myself," came the invariable re)ly. V "Do you accept the nomination?" The man rose up, and a smile of latisfaction spread over his face as le answered proudly: "Having been three times solicited >y my fellow citizens to accept the lomination, I can no longer decline o acede to their wishes." He then i etired. f / - >?" V; V ROBINSON STILL AT LARGE. Alleged Slayer of Aiken Women Pursued by Posses. Aiken, June 1.?The negro James Robinson, who is alleged to have slain Willie Brown and her mother, Fannie Brown, yesterday at Bath is still at large, although several posses are s^till pursuing him. No definite clue has been found as to his whereabouts, but it is thought that he is still on this side of the Savannah river. A suspect was arrested in Augusta yesterday but was soon released when it was found out that he was not the man wanted. The labor at the McNames Kaolin Works is very much demoralized over the double killing, the father and husband of the two dead negro women, being a foreman in the works. As soon as news reached the laborers at work they threw down their tools | and most probably it will be near the end of the week before anything else is accomplished there. Has Been Seen. j Reports have just been received saying that a. negro answering to the description of James Robinson has been seen between Kathwood and Jackscfn Station. At that time he had discarded his rifle. Sheriff Raborn is sending descriptions of the fugitive all over the country. He is about 45 or 50 years old, round and stoop shouldered, sfightly gray haired and ball on the forehead; color, dark brown, almost black, pop-eyed; about six feet tall, very slender and weighing around 150 pounds, pared-toed, wears No. 10 or -- ? -- ? J x?xt- J - ll snoes; aecayea teem, reaus ia.mj well and is an inveterate smoker. They All Serve. \ George C. Boldt, well-known hotel man, was talking in Philadelphia about the hotels in Switzerland. "They are good," said Mr. Boldt. "At the price they are remarkably good. The Swiss are a nation of hotel keepers. "The Alps, you know, draw all the world to Switzerland, and the Switzer who wants to become a millionaire goes into the hotel* business, as an American would go into steel or sugar. He begins at the bottom. He is a waiter. "It is said that once in Bern, at a historic public meeting, all the leading men of Switzerland were gathered together. A vote had been taken and in the iHtense silence preceding the epoch-making verdict of the tellers a wag shouted 'Waiter!' "Instantly the whole assembly rose as one man'and answered, 'Yes, sir!' " ?Detroit Free Press. Will Build Good Roads. Allendale, S. C., May 31.?At the second meeting of the Allendale board of trade on last evening constitution and by-laws were read and adopted.

Aiken, May 31.?B. Bates and B. M. Cothran were served with warrants to-day, on the charge of perjury, in connection with a case in the mayor's court a few days ago, the men swearing that two men, charged with fighting, had not been in the least disorderly, whereas, it is alleged that there is proof that there was a fight. They were carried before Magistrate Smoak this afternoon and were granted bail until next Wednesday when they will be given a preliminary hearing at 10 o'clock. The case against Bates and Cochran is brought by the city of Aiken, and the chief of police appears as the prosecutor in the name of the I city. | Slayers of Negro Surrender. ' Union, S. C., May 30.?Iremus Je-' ter, colored, was shot and killed Friday afternoon about five o'clock in Fish Dam township. A warrant was I sworn out by Coroner Hames against J P. B. O'Dell, constable, and E. L. Street. Odell and Street surrendered to the sheriff yesterday morning and they are both now in jail. It is said that Jeter had on his J right wrist a handcuff and that at the inquest, in order to get the handcuff off, his hand was amputated. The trouble is said to have started from Jeter's violating a contract and the arrest followed. Coroner Hames, accompanied by Dr. Theo. Maddox, left here Friday night about 1 o'clock for the scene of the fray and an inquest was held over the body of Jeter Saturday morning. .Vv** s. .
