Af noon as Judge Prince re turned to the city yesterday afternoon from Walhalla. where he hus been holding court. Monham, Watkins <Vr Allan, attorneys for the defendant, appeared before the judge and secur ed the order grunting a release to the defendant. Tho story of tho killing, as told to a reporter for The Intelligencer yes terday seems tn show that the homi cide) wan justifiable. According tn this stoiy, fjowis Goode WEB employed us a fnrm baud on the Fret well-place and when the negro's wife appeared ut tho coin ni lssnry Friday afternoon and U3ked for additional grocery sup plies, she was told by A. G. Fretwell who -hud general ruporvlslon of the farm, that she and her husband must do better In the way of keeping their colton free of gruss. Thia angered tho negro woman and after using some rough language to Mr. Fretwell, she looked up her hus band, who was at work in the field, und reported the happening to him. Ile became infuriated and ret out. for his house, saying that ho would "lix" Mr. Fretwell after he got his gun. Ho was intercoptcd before ho reached tho house by Harris. who attempt ed to reason with him. When Mr. Har ria stopped, the negro drew his 'knife und attacked thu ovcr-seer, striking him with a knife In the left breast. Mr. Harris lind a large watch In the top pocket of his jumper and thc blade struck this, deflecting the blow nud probably savlug Hun lr." life. The ne gro rtruck again, cutting Mr. Harria* hand, whereupon thc overseer drew his pistol und struck the negro over the bend. Mr. Harris then warned Goode, "if you come at mc again. I will shoot" and tho nogro ls snld tn have replied. "Well, you had better get ready, because I'm coming." Thc story goes that tho negro then ad vanccd and Mr. Harris shot. Two bul lets took effect in tho forehead, one lc the right wrist and one in thc side. '> ^^^^^^^^^^ ?JV?? ;These arc thc points you consider when ; $2 4* > ' - selecting a Typewriter. .

It is this organization whose rules prohibit "nvcrl line," nud which caused the fr let ion, when tito company ordered certain lost limo to be made tip. The Monaghan mill has been (dosed since ..arly Thursday morning when tho I. \V. W. members, who were employes in the weave room declined to abide by the rules of thc company ?md make up lime lo3t during a sturm Wednes day. No excitement ? prevails here and there has been no .disorder from the; llrst. Sheriff Ashley was here and was among those who made speeches i to the I. W. W. The statement as to the cause of this trike is that tho mill wm, shut down twice Wednesday for just a lit tlc over un ?lour and when the super intendente, informed the help that tho mill would run overtime, they refused and as thc help is working hy the pieee and not by tho day, there is no | mutter of pay involved. i A. F. lluntilctitt, one oi' the leaders] of the I. W. W. and an operative In a locul mill said yesterday that the or ganisation stood for certain working hours a:; follow?: Tho mill to start at six and run until noon, when ?? recess of ono hour shall bc given for dinner; ; then re: unie work and continue un til six o'clock. Tho organization is opposed to overtime. Cull for Houses Tho munugemont of the Monaghan mill gave notico Thursday that the houses ut the village must he vacated by Saturday tho 18th if the operatives decline to resume work. The occu pants of the hoimea pay rent by the week, and so a week's notice, in com pliance with law, was given. No formal statement was made by thc I. W. W. It ls generally under stood that they object to overtime, and' that it ls this point which lias caused, thu whole tumble. AN EYE WITNESS SAID TO BE FO?ND " ' -\ '?>.

Tho negro ^os 10 years of age und was said tc have hcen of a vicious dis position. He had been in trouble a number of times and tho officers say that ho waa a bad man. . It seems to be thc general opinion that Mr. Harris war. Justified in lim ing the negro, doing so to sav-j hid own lifo itird that ho could not havo I done otherwise.
