Kelly Shot at Central
Clement Kelly, aged 19 years,
was shot and seriously injured
by Raymond Taylor, who runs
the Central cafe in Central, last
Wednesday night. Kelly was
rushed to the Anderson hospital
and an operation revealed that
the bullet which struck him in
the abdomen did not puncture
the intestines, but instead iang
ed downward and lodged in the
hip joint of the left leg.
We have heard several differ
ent stories of the shooting, but
all agree that there had been bad
feeling between the two men for
some time and that. about two
weeks ago they engaged in a
fistic encounter, the cause of
which is not known. It is said
that Taylor was under the influ
ence of liquor when the -ihooting
occurred. Four shots were fired,
only one taking effect. It is not
thought that the wound is fatal.
The wounded man is a son of
S. R. Kelly, a prominent mer
chUnt of Central, and was em
Ployed in his father's store.
Raymond Taylor is a son of
John T. Taylor, a prominent
planterlivingnearCentral. Both
are unmarried.
Tiylor was brought to Pick
ens and lodged in jail, but is now
out on $1,000.
