Sam Cook, Former Resident
Here Killed by Burch
AROSE OVER DISPUTE
Alleged That Cook Followed Burch up
After Having Argument Over Some
Matter,?Cook Was Employed by
Burch on Farm,?Body Brought Ilere
For Interment.
Sum Cook was shot and killed by
T. Hurcb, a travelling man, in Florence
last Saturday, in the front of
one of the leading hotels, the shooting
following a dispute which it is
said had arisen between the two men
about some business matter. Cook
w<iQ fnrmnplii n ?
.<mu iv/iuiunj u icaiuouv ui vjuuway,
and at one time ho acted as Marshall
of the Town of Conway.
He had beeu away for several
years from this place when killed.
At the t 1113 of his death he was a
tenant or farmer on the plantation
of Burch near the city of Florence.
Some uilliculty had come up between
the two men early in the day and it
is stated that Mr Cook had followed
Mr. Burch and that the dispute final
ly grew into an altercation. It was
renewed in the front part of one of
the hotels and it is stated that at the
time he was shot tiiat the deceased
had a knife in his hand. There are
mauy dilTerent itiries concerning
the killing and it is impossible to
state the exact truth concerning the
killing and it is impossible to state
the exact truth concerning the matter.
The deceased had been at Florence
for about three years, following the
carpenters trade for awhile. He had
tueu fortmau for Burch for about a
year, lie is survived by his Wife
and two children.
Burch gave up and summoned his
tt orney after the killing. Later
he was let to bail to await trial.
Burcb would make nostatement further
than to say that the killing proceeded
from threats and cursing on
.the part of Cook, ttc.
Burch is a son of the former Corouer
of Florence CouLty, and there
is a large family of that name in
Florence county.
The remains of the deceased were
brought tarough Conway on Sunday
afternoon on the way to his former
home for interment.

Croup and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks
children so suddenly they are
very apt to choke unless given the
proper remedy at once. There Is
nothing better in the world than Dr.
King's New Discoyery. Lewis Cham
berlain of Manchester, Ohio, writes
about his children: "Sometimes in
severe attacks we were afraid they
would die, but since we proved what
a certain remedy Dr. King's New
Discovery is, wo have no fear. We
rely on it for croup, coughs and
colds." So can you. 50c and $1X0

An Oyster Roast.
Last Friday night at the home of
Miss Mazie Oliver, the Epworth
League gave a very delightful entertainment
in the form of an Oyster
Uoast to a goodly crowd of young
leaguers.
With m( thor earth as our fl )or,
the 9tarry Heavens as our roof and
the dotted horizon as our walls, we
gathered together in the opou Autumn
air to spend a few hours of
pleasure, around a sparklingbon-fire
heaped with oyttars, which were
withdrawn at regular intervals, and
cracked with eager anticipation.
After a short while of roasting,
cracking, and eating, we deserted
our lire, which was'surrounded with
oyster shells, and entered the parlor,
where some of the best songs
were sung, some of the most popular
games were played, and some of the
latent jokes told.
Some of the younger girh and boys
escaped from the older ones to enjoy
the evenirg around a pitch-pine lire
in the street, telling ghost itorie9 ol
old, and indulging in some of the
most familiar school games of to-day
After a very pleasant evening the
toiiowing guest returned to tbeii
homes hoping to have another oys
ter roast in the near future:

John Hooks Jr., in Floyds
PARTIES HAD AFFRAY
Burroughs Stroud, a Nephew of the
Deceased, and John Hooks, (iave up
to Sheriff Last Mondays-Mr. Stroud
Leaves Wife and Large Family of
Children.
A t2laphone message reached hero
last Sunday evening of the killing of
Louis C. Stroud in Floyds township
near the lino between that community
and Green Sea, some time that j
day, during a difficulty which took
place between the throe men. Burroughs
Stroud is a nephew of the
slain man. John Hooks is a young
man and is a son of Aleck Hooks.
Conflicting 11 jrios were told as to
how the killing occured.
According to the man who catne
in with the two young men to surrender
to the shorilT, the two young
men were on the road and were 11-;eing
from Mr. Stroud, as the story
goes, and when the deceasfd punuht
?
up with them he pulled Burroughs
Siroud out of tho buggy and engaged
with him in a tight, that Ji.hu
Hooks saw the doceasod tike out a
knife and open it, with his teeth, and
that he, John Hooks, then pulled
out bis pistol and went to shooting
L, C. Siroud. It was also stated
that one of tho boys accused tae
other of doing toe shooting, and
the other also accused him. It is
known which of tae various st lfies
is the exact truth about the sad affair,
and at the trial it may turn out
that none of the stories being told
are exactly true. The names of the
witnesses are not given if in fact
there were any eye-witnesses at all
to the killing.
Tho deceased was a man of considerable
wealth in his community,
running a large farm and owning
valuable property. He was aboui
fifty years old, and is survived by
his wife and several children.
The deceased was well known in
this County and in Marion county as
a substantial citizen aud well to do
