TRAGEDY IN FLORENCE. J. R. Guliedge Dies From Five Bullets . Fired Into His Body. Florence. Sept. 21.?J. R. Gulledge, of Wadesboro. X. C., was shot to death on the streets of Florence this afternoon by S. Jess Kennedy, of this place. Kennedy was immediately arrested and is now in prison. The shooting took place at or near the corner of East Evans and Harlee streets, one of the main thoroughfares of the city, about 6 o'clock, and was witnessed by a number of pedestrians and others. From what can be gathered other than what was stated by witnesses before the coroner's jury it seems that bad blood existed between the man f nr cnma timP hppause Of I V ?? V UiVU 1VA I^VVUV , an alleged domestic trouble, and that a shooting scrape was only averted some days ago by cooler heads and friends. However, the two men met this afternoon and the shooting resulted. Kennedy fired five shots from a 32-calibre Smith & Wesson pistol, each ball taking effect in Gulledge's body. Xo Chambers Empty. When Chief of Police Brunson arrived He found in Gulledge's hand a 32-caliber Smith & Wesson "sidewheeler," but it had never been fired. Gulledge was a flagman on the Atlantic Coast Line, running between Florenc? and Wadesboro, N. C., and was about twenty-five years old. He was a Mason and a Shriner. Kennedy is a flagman on the same system, running on passenger trains between Florence, Charleston, and Savannah. . The coroner's jury rendered a verdict about 9 o'clock tonight to the effect that Gulledge "came to his - - A aeatn irom a gunsnui ?uuuu m mc hands of S. J. Kennedy." Gulledge's -body was taken in charge of by Vaughn's undertaking establishment and is awaiting disposition instructions from his family. Julledge was unmarried. CARBONIZING COAL Qas Too Valuable as Fuel to Burn Fuel Mineral. So desirable is gas as a fuel and so valuable are the by-products of its manufacture, that gas engineers of Birmingham, England, declare that it pays to' carbonize coal instead of I burning it. They foresee that town gas in future will be in demand chiefly as a substitute for solid fuel, and point out that already nearly 80 per cent, of the gas made in Birmingham?amounting last year to 11,000,000,000 cubic feet?is used for heating and power purposes, domestic and industrial.

The use of | gas furnaces in Birmingham's metallurgical industries has greatly developed in the last two years. In annealing brass stampings the work is now done twice as rapidly as when solid fuel was used, and in the case of iron castings the product is superior. The greatly improved briquettes from the gas making residue give an almost blameless incandescence in the open domestic grate. ~J&ANK STATEMENT Statement of the condition of the Peoples Bank, located at Bamberg, S.
