Son of Chief Game Warden Meets Accidental
Death while Hunting.

plorable accident happened this
morning, which resulted in the death
of Maner Rice, known to his boy
friends as "Buddie," son of Mr. Jas. !
Henry Rice, Jr., chief game warden. '
The little, fellow and a companion :
were out hunting, and in crossing a i
field their dogs attacked several lit- i
tie pigs. In trying to beat the dogs ]
off with the butt of their guns, the '
gun Maner was carrying in some '
manner was discharged, both loads
entering his abdomen. His compan- j
ion ran for assistance to Chief of Po- j
lice Waring:, who happened to be in 1
the neighborhood, and the chief im- <
mediately put a man on his horse and i
sent for a physician, but on his arrival
the lad was dead. Death evi- 1
dently was almost instantaneous. <
Maner was the third son of Mr.
Rice and about 11 years old. He <
was a bright and dutiful boy and the (
pride of his home. He was in the 1
fifth class of the graded school. He ,
will be buried at Ninety-Six in the (
familv plot. The heartfelt sympathy
of the entire town goes out to the
parents in their bereavement.

PROMISED A RIDE.
Negro Supposed to Have Kidnaped a
Greenville Boy.
Greenville, Nov. 8.?Lured from
home by a negro under promise of a
ride in a wagon, and later deserted
30 miles from Greenville, is the experience
of 12-year-old Ben Cunningham,
son of J. T. Cunningham, a
well-to-do citizen of Greenville.
Saturday afternoon, while on Main
street, the little boy was asked by
the negro if he wanted to take a
ride, to which the boy replied in the
affirmative. The negro promised to
take him to the Cunningham home on
Burdette street, as he was going
that way. Reaching Burdette street,
however, instead of allowing the
youth to get out of the wagon, the
boy declares the negro threatened
to kill him if he made a move to leave
or made any outcry. Thoroughly
frightened the lad lay down, and
after awhile fell asleep, awaking sev
erai nours later to nnu inai uie negro
was still guarding him, and shutting
off all chances of escape.
At a small town in the lower part
of the county Ben succeeded in getting
away from the negro, who had
relaxed his vigilance. Advertisements
were inserted in the local papers concerning
the missing boy, and in this
way he was located.
Returning home to-day, he told a
harrowing tale of his experience.
