TELLS STORY OF FIGHT
Griffin Williams Onto Andrew Davenport
at Old Town in Newberry
County.?According to the Story
Williams Was Attacked and Forced
to Defend Himself.
A dispatch from Wards says Mr
Griffin Williams, of Newberry, who
so seriously and perhaps fatally cut
Andrew Davenport, a white man, at
Old Town Tuesday went to Saluda
Wednesday morning and placed himself
in the custody of Sheriff Sample,
awaiting the results of the trouble.
From what can be learned Williams
tried hard to avoid trouble with Davenport
at Old Town, where a Fourth
of July barbecue was served. Old
Town is just across the Saluda River
in Newberry County; both men are
Newberrians.
It appears that several days ago
Williams, who was working as a constable
in Saluda County, seized some
whiskey found in the possession of
Cary McCarthy, near Denny's. Last
week, so the story goes, while Williams
was at Silver Street, in Newberry
County, Davenport approached
him and stated that he, Williams, had
gotten one of his, Davenport's kins
xiien in trouble over in Saluda County,
referring to the seizure of Cary McCarthy's
liquor, and he tried to Involve
Williams in a difficulty about
it.
It is said that Davenport cursed
Williams on that occasion and said
some pretty tough things on him.
It is likewise stated that Williams
kept his head and although urged by
some of his friends to resent what
Davenport said, made the statement
that inasmuch as he was an offcier
he would not allow himself to be
drawn into a difficulty Tuesday at
Old Town, Davenport again approched
Williams and rebuked him for taking
McCarthy's liquor and saying that
inasmuch as one of his kinsmen had
been gotten into trouble, Williams
would have to get him into trouble.
The story goes that WilHams tried
to avoid any difficulty and quietly
walked away, going to Chapman's
store. It seems that Davenport followed
him, and after some words attacked
him. In the tussle both men
went out of the store door in the
little piazza at the front, here the
fight was continued as one of William's
legs got fastened between some
slats Trailed around as banisters, and
swaying backward fell and Davenport
fell over him and out on the ground.
While in this position, it is said,
that Davenport collared Williams and
the latter reached for his knife and
gashed him across the muscle of the
eft arm and across the heart. As soon
as he was cut Davenport, it seems,
loosened his grip on Williams and
running a short distance fell; he bled
profusely, and It was thought he
would bleed to death before medical
aid could be had.
A telephone message from New.berry
stated that he was not dead, but
was in a critical condition Williams
came across Saluda River after the
trouble and spent Tuesday night In
Saluda County. Wednesday morning
on hearing the Davenport was dead
he came to Saluda and delivered himself
into the hand of Sheriff Sample
end is now occupying a room at the
Herlong Hotel.'
Wiilllams is a brother-in-law to
Governor 'Blease, and until a few
days ago was operating in Saluda
County as a special constable. Upon
being advised by the supervisor that
a constable was not needed in the
ounty both Williams and R. L?. Werts
who w*as also a constable, were dismissed
by Governor Blease. In case
Davenport should die Williams will
(at once surrender himself to Sheriff
Boiford at Newberry.

KILLED HIS FRIEND
a dispute} between railway
men ends fatally.
Lawrence Wise, Made Craay With
Whiskey, Literally Shot John Doncan
to Pieces.
A dispatch to The News and Courier
from Aiken says one of the most
deplorable killings which ever occurred
in that county happened in the
sub-station or tne AiKen-Augusta
Railway Company, near Graniteville,
about nine o'clock on Saturday night.
Lawrence Wise, made orazy by whiskey,
according to testimony, walkeu
into the sub-station and literally shot
John Duncan to pieces.
There were no eye-witnesses to the
killing, but the cause of the fuss was
over the report which wis to be
sent in to the manager of the substation.
Both Wise and Duncan wen.
employed in the station, one being
the night man, while the other was
the day man. They were the beet of
friends, and after the killing Wise
remarked that he had killed the
best friend he had.
From the inquest it seems that
Duncan was substituting for Wise,
who had gotten off to go to Aiken,
and that he should have reported foi
work at 6:30 in the afternoon. He
did not show up until about nine
o'clock, and parties heard the men
fussing over the report which was to
go in. Duncan was trying to get
Wise to go home, and finally invited'
him inside, and there the shooting
took place. Wise shot at Duncan six
times and hit him six times. Three
bullets passed entirely through the
dead man's body, one through his
hip, ranging upward; one passed
through his hat.
Duncan tried to escape and he was
found leaning half way out of a window
with his head in the sand. Rural
Policeman Holley was on the car
which passed, the sub-station about
the time of the killing and he placed
Wise under arrest and brought him
to Aiken and lodged him in jail. An
inquest was held on Sunday morning,
and the usual verdict was rendered
that Duncan came to his death at
the hands of Wise.
The affair is greatly regretted, as
both men are well thought of, and
both have families. Duncan has six
children and Wise has three.
ORANGEBURG COLLEGE.
Preparations Being Made for the Best
Year in its History.
The annual advertisement of the
Orangeburg College appears in this
issue of our paper. This school has
had a most remarkable growth in
the past seven years since President
W. S. Peterson has been at the head
of it. Every room was taken last
year, and the prospects for next session
are brighter than ever before.
The College draws its patronage from
every section of the State, and from
other States. The faculty for the
coming year is the best that the
school has ever had, being composed
of sixteen College and University
trained teachers. A number of the
professors are on the road canvassing
for the cshool this summer, and
it is expected that the boarding patronage
will run up to at least 300
students the coming session. Prof.
Peterson gives his students board at
actual cost and this has reduced the
expenses to the lowest cost. He gives
the boarding department his own
personal supervision, and having
oI von tvtck fliihiAr.t of dietary many
B"?" .
years of careful study, knows how to
furnish most excellent fare.
The music department of th*
school the coming session will be especially
strong. Prof. Thomas L.
Tinsley, the Director of Music, Is a
Georgian by birth, is a graduate of
the Atlanta Conservatory of Music,
and has also had training in the
North. He is a great concert pianist,
and will prove a valuable acquisition
to the school. Mrs. Delia Gilbert
who will have charge of the Voca1
department, Is a graduate of th<
Grand 'Prarle Conservatory of Mush
of Illinois, and also of the New Eng
land Conservatory of Boston. Mrs
Gilbert has had many years of sue
cessful experience both on the Con
cert stage, and as a teacher. Sh<
comes to Orangeburg College fron
Columbia College, where she ha<
charge of the Vocal department ii
that school for the past five years
, and where she was successful ii
building up for that school a grea
school of voice. She possesses a ricl
contralto voice, and is nown all ove
the State as one of the best singer
i going. These two talented teacher
i will Insure Orangeburg College a
fine a department in music as cai
[ be found in this State.
There has long been a demand fo
a school that would give sucn train
1 ing a? this school gives at the loi
cost that It does, and it is no sui
prise to Its friends that It hi growln
) numbers.

Bureau Figure* Indicate Yield of 14,*
425,000 Fire Hundred Pound Bale*
For 1911.
Official estimates of the cotton crop
report of 1911 lndicatea that It will
be the largest in the history of the
country, approximating, according to
the present figures, 14,425,000 bales
of 500 pounds each, evceeding by almost
1,000,000 bales tht record crop
of 1904.
Dr. N. A. Murray, acting chief o!
the crop reporting board of the department
of agriculture, made the!
following statement subsequent to
the issuance of the cotton crop report:
"The report shows the condition of
the crop tk> be higher than on any corresponding
date in the last 10 years.
A month ago the general condition
was n.o per cem. uuuve mo iv-jcm
average. Today it is 10.13 per cent,
above the 10-year average.
"The acerage of cotton this year is
about 35,000,000. Allowing for the
a\erage amount of abandonment?
about 1,000,000 acres?the indications
are that approximately 3 4,000,000
acres of cotton will be harvested.
The condition indicates a probable
yield of 202.8 pounds per acre,
which on 34,000,000 acres, would
mean 6,895,000,000 pounds, or about
14,425,000 bales."
