WMI n { no fi An I pressed ill any cummuui^auuu. Thursday, Oct. 12, 1911. There is always, something doing( In real estate circles these days. People have at last begun to realize that dirt in the town of Bamberg is valuable. The men in Bamberg who have money must build houses to rent if ! they expect the town to grow. Some place must be provided for people to live who want to move here. Didn't Senator Tillman give Blease f' a hard lick when he said that Rioh? J /\Ar> CAV_ I ars suuuiu uavc uccu cn-v,n,u ernor^ast year? It is plain to be seen that there is no love lost between the senator and the governor. Bamberg is growing and improving right along. A ride around town shows new residences just completed and going up, while many others have been remodeled and improved. Others will remodel their homes as soon as competent contractors can be secured. The town is growing taster than many people think, and yet more houses are needed. There is always a good demand for houses by good people, and it is to be hoped that those who have money to invest will build houses for rent. IP KILLED WITH BASEBALL BAT. |r Five McKnight Brothers Charged !* with Slaying Robert B. Parrott. Scranton, Oct. 8.?Robert B. Par^ rott, who was cut and beaten with : a baseball bat into unconsciousness iv yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, p; while in town, died at Dr. W. S. Lynch's office this morning at about f~l- 2:30 o'clock. Magistrate O. S. Baldly win empanelled a jury this mornr.-. ing and held an inquest. The jury, after hearing the evidence, rendered f the following verdict, that upon their oaths "the said Robert B. Parrott came to his death by being struck on P^the head with a baseball bat at the hands of Wallie McKnight, or cut jv:.' with knives at the hands of Liston McKnight and Lexington McKnight. and so the jurors aforesaid do say r that the aforesaid Listen, Wallie and HgE?'.' Lexington McKnight, in the manner aforesaid, Robert B. Parrott, then and there, feloniously and with malice of forethought, did kill, against jl' . the peace and dignity of the State j|^;; aforesaid, and Daniel and Lonnie McKnight are accessories before the gpV fact." From the evidence it appears that r Wallie, Lonnie, Lexington and Daniel ag/' McKnight had prearranged to come to town yesterday afternoon and 1*% fight Willie Benton,*and were seen \ by several persons going through the |p;v . streets with th?ir knives open and in hand until they came up with BenpS-; ton. When the McKnight boys met I|p|f Mr. Benton they were held off him by Loney Hyman and Robert B. Parrott. Just at this time Loney HyIkjr. man was also dangerously cut across the chest by Lexington McKnight. Lexington McKnight one A rrned ?|t if. and cut Robert B. Parrott ac his gg-'" chest, about one inch above the right ggk nipple and into the chest cavity; ? mere were aiso ten or iweive vmci |y'- small cuts 011 his body. While the cutting was in progress, & it is charged that Wallie McKnight g?f-v. ran up and gave the death blow on the skull with a baseball bat. The McKnights are all brothers, living near town, and have the reputation gfe of being desperate fighters and of a t '";: rowdy ? disposition. They have all been arrested and are now in the HW Florence county jail. The deceased was a young man of about 36 years of age, a son of Benjamin Parrott. He bore the reputation of being honest and auiet and "? -'11. 1 x. ; .? really wmi no iiarm in xi 1111. rue* body was buried this afternoon at St. Paul's Methodist church, near / Cowards, the Rev. Mr. Patrick, pas&? tor, conducting the services. A girl baby dressed in silks was SfcfV.- left at the door of a Spartanburg %y citizen on Sunday morning. It is supposed to be the child of a couple ?whether married or not is not known?who rented a cottage about a month ago, paying the rent in advance, and leaving on Sunday. The woman was about 25 and evidently well educated and of good family. Fourteen persons have asked for the child to adopt it. It,- - -' -. ,v.'.., SAMPEL HYDE BAPTIZED. Anderson Man Condemned to Die, Received into Church. Anderson, Oct. 7.?Late yesterday afternoon Samuel N. Hyde, the white men under sentence to hang on October 20 for the murder of his wife, and who also slew her father, was taken by Sheriff King and Deputy Sheriff Martin to the First Baptist church, where he was baptized by the Rev. John F. Vines. This was according to "an order issued by Judge George E. Prince, who passed sentence on the man. Only a few witnessed the baptism, those present being deacons of the church. Hyde professed conversion several days ago, and Dr." Vines sent a petition to Judge Prince asking for permission to have the prisoner conveyed to the church for baptism. In the meantime several petitions asking Gov. Bleaso to commute the sentence to life imprisonment are being circulated, and are being freely signed, it is stated. These petitions will be forwarded to the governor to-night. DEPENDING ON THE LORD. Leader of Religious Sect Charged with Selling liquor. Nashville, Ind., Oct. 7.?The Rev. David Graham, leader of the "Crabits," a religious sect of peculiar doctrines, was placed in the historic log cabin jail here to-day, following a raid last night on the parson's ice cream supper, at which, it is alleged, beer and whiskey were sold. The parson declares the Lord will clear him in court. POLICEMAN LOSES HIS JOB. Spartanburg Officer Charged with Neglect of Duty During Strike. Spartanburg, Oct. 9.?At a meeting of the city council held this afternoon, Second Lieutenant Frank Johnson, of the Spartanburg police force, was dismissed, following charges of failure to perform his duty. It was claimed that Johson failed to carry out his instructions during the recent street car lock-out in this j city, when he was given orders to have the streets cleared of the labor sympathizers. Wreckers Spike Rails. Buchanan, Ga., Oct. 8.?One man was killed, two fatally injured and about a score more badly shaken up when a Central of Georgia passenger train was wrecked three miles south *?e v. mnrn'ncr Tho TCTPC* li" Wfl-S Ui 11C1 C IJ-LIO LUV1U1U{J.

Will Solomon, negro fireman. Engineer Ayres bravely stuck to his post and was biried under the locomotive with his fireman. The latter .was extricated oareiy aiive, but Ayres was crushed and scalded to death. The train was running about 30 miles an hour when it struck a curve where the spike had been driven between two rails. The entire train left the track, the mail and express cars being smashed into kindling wood. The passengers received a severe shaking up, but none was seriously injured. WOMAN STRUCK WITH AXE. Probable Murderer Guarded to Prevent Lynching by Mob. Brownsville, Tenn., Oct. 8.?Mrs. Scrap Wilson, wife of a local painter, is in a dying condition to-night with her head crushed from a blow between the eyes inflicted with an axe by Tom Kfhnon, a negro, this afternoon. The woman engaged in a desperate struggle with the negro before he dealt her the blow, which will probably cause h^ death. Mrs. Wilson was alone with two children, when the negro, who had been seen prowling around tne house, accosted her. When rebuked, the black man grasped her. She escaped his clutches and ran into the yard. The negro followed, seized an axe, struck the almost helpless woman between the eyes and escaped to the woods. The oldest child ran to town, two miles away, and spread the alarm. A posse was' organized and Kinnon was captured three miles from the scene of his crime. Twenty-five special officers are guarding the jail to-night, as a mob of over 100 men, who aided in the capture, are demanding vengeance. The Jones Case. Columbia, Oct. 9.?John J. Jones, the Branchville attorney, convicted several months ago on the charge of killing Abe Pearlstine and sentenced in the Orangeburg court to ten years and 30 days has been at the State penitentiary since conviction as a detention prisoner. He has not been mustered in as h convict. The records show that his case has not been filed with the supreme court for a review. The court meets next in November. Should his appeal be filed immediately it would mean that an opinion would not be rendered for several months. His attorneys have given no intimation as to what course they intend to pursue. The case came before the governor for a pardon shortly after conviction. The governor refused the pardon at that time. Piano Contest.
