VIVID STORY
^Ytwj Lad Tells of Hi? Shipwreck and
Fierce Battle for Lite
AMID RAGING WATERS
H?ned? the Twelve Year Old Bon of
the Late Capt. K. G. Miller, of the
^ ^ Wrecked Bcliooner Converse, Tells
of Ills Gallant Father's l>euth and
His Own K..rape.
The Augusta Chronicle says the
body of Capt. R. G. 'Miller, of Hephdbah,
Ga., commander of the threemajrted
schooner William W. Converge,
which was wrecked In the recent
hurricane, 3 0 uillea below St.
Augustine, Kia.. has never been recovered.
Shortly after the vessel
went to pieces a body drifted ashore
?r that was thought to be that of Capt.
Miller, but later the body was found
to t)c that of another victim of the
great storm.
The late Capt. Miller was a prominent
citizen of Hephzibah. His
? uii utwuit at Ids
him) re "lOilVCtt wui n uu wj/V?*
kono in Koehmond county. He was a
prominent Mason and his fellow
members of the order wore active
In the efforts to find his body after
the wreck. Hut all hope Is now abandoned
that the soa will ever give
up the body of this man who had
pent his life in its service.
Oa his last trip Capt. Miller w;n
accompanied by his son, Fred 'Miller,
12 years old. The boy had a terrible
experience In the storm 'u which
his father, the mate and a seaman
lost their lives. Fred Miller wis
brought to his home in llephzlbah
last Friday night a week ago. His
story of his experience Is a thrilling
tale of the sea.
The vessel ran Into the hurricane
<rtf Savannah early Tuesday morning
last week. The Converse was i
4t&uach schooner and Capt. Miller
held to his course, believing, no
doubt, that this boat could weather
?t as ahe had weathered many be?
? c aKn.irH
fore. He ft a a a cargo u? v,vc?.
aid was bound for Cuba. The hurricane
increased in fury and when
about 30 miles below St. Augustine
the vob8oI was blown upon the rocks
nibout a mile and a half off "he Florida
const. The wavos wore rolling
> mountain-high and tho boat began
to break up almost immediately.
Capt. Miller ordered all hands to don
life-preservors and take to the watei, J
am bo boat could be launched in J
*ucb a sea.
Captain Miller himself preparedl
his eon for the terrible journey and
after telling the boy to keep bis cys
<?n the shore and not look behind I
.him tho captain saw that he was
nafely started upon his trip and th?u
*tood hack until every one of bis men
had left. Then the captain abend in
ed tbw doomed ship.
IFred Miller says ho will remem-1
r?or that short but awful journey
until his dying day. The boy is an I
excellent swimmer, but no man's
strength could buffet those waves
and live. It was every man for him- I
self, The life-preserver kept the!
bey's head- above water and then h'?
bad all he could do to keep his I
breath from being literally pounded I
out of him by the raging, roaring
seaa
Though his father had ordered
( aim not to look behind him the boy
W" could no? resist the impulse to look I
f back just once. He saw his father
battling with the waves a short distance
behind. Captain Miller wav^d
jla band encouragingly to his sou
and that was the Inst the boy ever
?avr of his father, for just then a
wionstor wave came over and engulfed
them all.
Fred Miller folt himself ^.<>1 r?i; j
(town, down, down. He no longer
heard the sirean and roaring of the
storm, but In his oars was h deafen-1
humming that no words can describe
He felt as though he were
vinnjoehod in some giant threshing j
machine that was ripping and tourtng
him to pieces. i
He tried to hold his breath but j
he was under water so long, hours I
It scorned to him, that ho was forcer
to swallow salt water until ho
o'eAred he would burst. He gave up
sll hope of ever breathing again,
but hO| kept kicking and struggling
to escape tho maelstrom that ha I

rAt last the wave panned over ana
n >i is body ahot to the surface. 11 is
f tifo-preservor, even his jacket, had
heen torn from him. But the great
wave robbed him of his father, and
which had almost torn all the clothing
from his own body, had also, as
tf ah am ed by the havoc it had
wrought, borne the boy much nearer
the ah ore.
Now his ability aa a swimmer
served him well, and in spite of his
bruises he w is able, by swimming
and clinging to bits of wreckage, io
keep himself afloat until rescued oy
the life-boat from a nearby station.
This life-boat rescued all the men
In the water except the captain nud
the mate, who could not be found,
and one se&nuin whose brains were
beaten out by a heavy timber Just
as tile resources were making toward
bin.

J donee wherf Hlajrer Kvidently lay

A dispatch to Tho N'ows nnd Courier
from Florence says to be foully
murdered within the con 11 nee of his
own home was the fate of Mr. Elihu
M. Moye, a well known uud highly
respected farmer and citizen of the
Ebenezer section. alx>ut ten o'clock
Friday night, and Clarence Ham, a
ginger-cake colored negro, about 3 0
years old, is in jail, charged by the
coroner's jury with being tho man
who committed the heinous crime,
and using Moyo's own gun to kill
his \ictitii with.
The news of the horrible deed
was telegraphed in to Florence at
an early hour Saturday morning
to the sheriff, asking that he come at
once to ICbonezcr and bring with nini
Coroner Cooper, as Mr. Moye had
been found dead ou his piazza, supposedly
from the hands of a murderer.
Sheriff Hurch and Coroner Cooper
hastily went to the scone, and the
news as telephoned In proved to Ik:
a reality. The news spread Lhrougni)ut
the Kbenezor section with lightning-like
rapidity, and it was only a

had gathered about the Move hoiue,
with the hope of gaining some information
us to how he met death in
such a foul and dastardly manner.
All the while from the time the news
became Known until the coroner's
jury had been empanelled, the entire
neighborhood was wrought up and
there in no telling what might have
happened had it been known at that
time that Clarence Ham, the negro
now in Jail, had had anything to do
with the taking of the life of hJtihu
Mo ye.
The Sheriff had learned that Clar
ence Ham had d>een in the employ of
Mr. Moye some weeks ago and had
been discharged because he failed to
work to s\iit his employer. Laal
week, however, Mr. Move agreed to
take Ham back and put him to work.
Saturday morning Ham was the only
negro on the plantation who failed I
to show up, and Sheriff Bureh, in
order to see what there was in him,
put him up before the Juiy to testify
and lie stated that he had left the
place late Friday and wont to a woman's
house by the name of Kthel j
Wilds Friday night, where he stayed.
While he was testifying, Deputy
I Sheriff llarrel! was sent to the Wilds
woman's house to bring her also up
a witness and while at the house
Deputy Harrell thought he would
search the premises.
He found in a bureau drawer a
coat belonging to Mr. Moye and a
pair of trousers. These he took
along with him to the inquest, and it
proved to be the right evidence on
which the murder could bo laid at
Hum's door, for it was the coat that
Mr. Moye wore Friday night, and
tho one he had Just divested him- i
self of a few moments before the!
killing took place, as was sworn to!
by Mr. Harold Cole, who had accompanied
Mr. Moye to Timmonsville to
a protracted meeting. Letters ami

to prove Mr. Cole's testimony,
and tending to show that Hum is
the criminal .
Mr Move was married several
yc rs ago to Miss Minnie Hartvli
who preceded him some eight* o;;
months ago. He has sine*1 liv-nl
alone, excepting when his maiden sister
visited him. Ho was a son of tno
late Wash Move, of old Darlington
and is survived hy one brother, Mr.
Theodore A. Move, and two slsteis,
\tiss Mary Move and Mrs. Sarah
Mann, all of Florence county, together
with a large and wide circle of
near relatives and hosts of friends.
The horrible murder has been the
talk of the town and county, for ah
the people knew Klihu Moyo, and
they were terribly shocked when the
news was first handed out.
Clarence Ham, the supported slayer
of Mr. Mo> e., is behind the bars
of the Florence County prison and
stands charged by the coroner's Jury
us the Mayer of Mr. Moyo. Had it
uot have been that a petition was
quickly circulated Immediately after
the Inquest, calling upon Solicitor
\V. H. Wells, by Mr. John McSvveen,
of Timmonavllle, asking lhe Govern*
or to order a special term of tne
Criminal Court in the county to try
Ham, and the cooler heads of thono
preeont, there 1* no tet'fng but what

Some 300,000 Popes go there each
year. The image had been docorat
ed with precious objects of vast
worth, presented by Popes, 10 m per
