CHESTER FARMER KILLED.
Sidney J. Ferguson Meets Death.
Youth is Accused.
Chester, December 26.?Sidney J.
Ferguson, a well-known citizen of
Chester, was shot and almost instantly
killed to-day on his farm in the
Capers Chapel neighborhood. ^rankGrant,
the 17-year-old son of Will
Grant, tenant on the place, is charged
with the shooting. Young Grant fled
and to-night is still at large.
Particulars are hard to obtain.
There were no eye witnesses to the
shooting, and Mr. Ferguson was unable
to speak when found by Rhett
Brakefield, who happened to come
along the road. A .32 calibre pistol
was the weapon used and Mr. Fergux
son was wounded three times. One
ball barely grazed his body while two
others passed through his neck.
Coroner J. Henry Gladden empan
eled a jury with James I. Harden as
foreman, but examined only a few
witnesses. He will conclude the in^
quest at the court house in this city.
Mr. Ferguson owned a large farm
in the Capers Chapel neighborhood,
and was prominently connected.
His body will not be interred until
Sunday, awaiting the arrival of rela
*r ;.\ T
tives from Ftorida.

Shot by 9-Year-Old Flora.
Greenville, December 26.?Christmas
brought only gloom and great
sorrow to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
~ / E. W. Childress of the Calhoun neighborhood,
for their family suffered a
bereavement, seldom surpassed in
sadness. Little Edwin, the 3-yearold
son of Mr. and Mrs. Childress,
was accidentally shot and instantly
killed by his 9-year-old sister. Flora.

^BR^Vads, the federal government
one-third of the cost of the
S9^he road to be built under the
fl^^tion of the road engineers of the
^K^rtment. O11 these terms Mr.
Byrnes can place $20,000 for the
agricultural department. The value
of this road work 'would be educational,
serving as a model for other
roads. The congressman has written
+ - aaiif pAnnn/1 HiotriAf
IU CatU L'1/UUl.v in iu^ ogwuu uioti ivv,
making the offer, stating that the
inspector of the department who is
now in the district will sign an agreement
with the county or counties first
' accepting the offer and offering proof
of its ability to put up its part of the
fund. The road or roads to be built
under this co-operative plan are to be
selected by the local road officials,
the government having nothing to do
the selection.
WOMAN KILLS MAN.
Said to Have Been Climbing Pence
When Fired On.
Fairfax, December 26.?Angus L.
Main, a prominent citizen and farmer
who lived near Jennys in the lower
edge of Barnwell county, was shot
and mortally wounded at the home of
W. H. Mixson by the latter's daugh
ter, Airs, i>usie iuizeue, auom ?.o"
o'clock Wednesday evening. Mr.
Main died about three hours after being
shot.
The Mixson home is about sixmiles
from Fairfax, and Main, who
was the last customer at the dispensary
here Wednesday afternoon, was
on his way home in a buggy, having
with him a negro named Calvin Johnson.
When they got to the Mixson
home they drove the buggy into Mrs.
Mixson's lot. Mrs. Mizelle. hearing
them using profane words and not
knowing who they were, called. "Who
are you?" The answer came from
Main: "It makes no difference who
I am: I'm coming in." She warned
him not to come any farther, telling
him she would shoot him if he did,
and in the meantime calling to her
little brother to bring the gun. Main
did not heed the warning but started
to climb over the fence between the
horse lot and the residence yard. As
he was almost over the fence about
25 feet from her she fired the gun
which was loaded with bird shot.
The load took effect in the left side
J of the face at the base ot tne necK.
Main fell back across the fence, his
feet being on the inside of the yard,
and remained in that .position until
nearby neighbors who heard the
alarm came and removed him.
Mrs. Mizelle and her husband, Robert
Mizelle, and their child had come
from Estill, where they live, to spend
the holidays with Mrs. Mizelle's'parents,
Mr. anu Mrs. W. H. Mixson.
Mrs. Mixson was sick in bed.- Mr.
Mixson and Mr. Mizelle had gone to
pay a visit at the home of friends
about two miles away when Main and
the negro arrived at the Mixson
home.
Magistrate L. H. Williams held an
inquest yesterday and the jury rendered
a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by the effect of a
gunshot wound inflicted by Mrs. Susie
Mizelle.
Main, who was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Main, was about 35 years
old. He leaves a wife and six children.
He was an inoffensive man
when sober, and his act is undoubtedly
attributable to his being unbalanced
at the time. If he had told
Mrs. Mizelle who he was she would
not have hurt him, for she knew him
wc?n it is nrobable. however, that
he did not know where he was when
he stopped at the Mixson home.
SHERIFF STOOD HIS GROUND.
/Barricaded Negroes Fired on Posse
and Some Deserted.
Jesup, Ga., December 28.?A negro
named Mack, who is accused of having
attempted assault upon a white
woman in the Hortense district, was
driven into a cabin last night, where
he and his father and two other
negroes barricaded themselves. As
the officers approached the negroes
opened fire. Shots were exchanged.
The sheriff's aides in the chase were
citizens, and as the shooting continued
some of these are alleged to
have deserted. Sheriff Price held bis
giound with those who remained, and
after the firing ceased rushed upon
"the cabin. It was found that the negroes
had escaped through a rear
window.
Dogs were obtained and the posse
continued the hunt, one negro being
placed under arrest. Mack has not
been found ahd the posse was still in
hot pursuit at a late hour to-night.'
Woman Kills Woman in Orangeburg.
Pauline Isaac shot and probably
fatally wounded Cora Livingston,
both colored. Christmas morning
about 11:30 o'clock. The ball entered
the body of the Livingston woman
in the side, and the physicians say
that there is little hope for her recovery.
Pauline Isaac was placed under
arrest and this morning was turned
over to Magistrate Brunson, who
committed her to jail to wait trial at
the next term of court.
It is claimed by the woman who did
the shooting that it was the result
of an accident, but it is also reported
that the two women, along with a
number of other negroes, were gambling
at a house located in Harlev
Court, and that the shooting was
the result of a dispute over five cents.
It is said that the women were some
distance apart when the shooting
took place and were out in the yard.
? Orangeburg Evening News, Dec. 26
?Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Johns and
daughters, Misses Eunice and Gladys,
with .Miss Bess Bocage, of Louisiana,
spent a few days in the city this week
with Mrs. AI. L. Johns. Miss Bocage
is a school mate of Miss Eunice at
Brenau College, and came to spend
the holidays with her.
BAPTISTS A GREAT PEOPLE.
Some of the Tilings Done at the Convention
Held Last Week.
The State Convention of the Baptists
was held in Bennettsviile last
week. The various boards made excellent
reports, indicating the substantial
growth of the denomination
in this State.
The secretary's statistical report
showed that there are nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand white
Baptist church members in South
Carolina.
During the year, the Baptists con
tributed $50,000 to foreign missions;
$40,000 to home missions; $42,000
to State missions: $30,000 to orphanage
work; $9,000 for aged ministers;
besides the cost of maintaining
the 1.000 local churches, a vast
amount for building new houses of
worship, and the like.
Fifty-five thousand dollars was
given to Greenville Female college;
$40,000 to Anderson college; $15,!
000 to Furman University; $66,000
to Coker college; and smaller
amounts to Orangeburg college, and
the five high schools of the convention
during 1913.
The convention heartily re-endorsed
the proposed Baptist hospital,
which is to be located in Columbia,
and authorized the trustees to go
ahead and establish the institution.
Thirty thousand dollars is already in
hand for the purpose, and there is
much more promised.
The convention asked the churches
for $25,000 cash for Greenville Female
college by January 1st; for
$25,000 for Furman University by
July 31st; for $2,000 for the theo1
1 o* novf l*DQ 1* 1
lUgitai ociiiiiiai ; UU11115 UV/AV j vu* y
$15,000 for the education board;
$10,000 for ministerial education in
Furman; $150,000 for missions;
$30,000 for orphanage; $10,000 for
aged ministers and appropriate
amounts for other religious objects.
A gift of a $10,090 house for aged
ministers was received from C. C.
Brown, the* house being located in
Beaufort, overlooking the sea. It is
expected that ministers temporarily
resting will also make their home
there.
The Baptist convention employs
nearly 150 missionaries, men and
women, in South Carolina; there are
more than 1,000 churches, and about
900 preachers.
The convention next year will
meet in Charleston.
