W. D. 1.a wine Who Wan Shot by Officer William., Died Tucday. Mr. W. D. Lawing, the young man who waa shot at Cowpens several weeks ago by officer Williams while resisting arrest, died Tuesday. An Inquest was held over the remains by Coroner Foster, and the verdict of the jury was that “the deceased died of pneumonia, caused by want of care and exposure during confine ment due to a wound inflicted by J. L. Williams.” At one time it was thought Lawing would get well, but pneumonia set in and in his weak ened state it was not long in getting in its work. Officer Williams was severely cut in the fight ’ which followed his at tempt to arrest Lawing, who was drunk and deiorderly at the time, but he has about recovered from his wounds. After the inquest he went to Spartanburg and surrendered to the authorities and was put in jail in that city. WMlIiams and his frends are con fident that he will show that the shooting of Lawing was justifiable, ana that he will come out of his trouble alright. He has employed Senator I). E. Hydrickjtodefend hinr, and he will make application for bail before Judge Townsend in Union to morrow. lllufkuburK Uoy Kill«<l In CleurRla. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Whlsnant, of Blacksburg, are just now mourning over the loss of a son whose death was the result of carelessness in a companion. As we learned the facts, young Clarence Whisnant was at work in Columbus, Ga., at the time of his death. On Sunday morning last he was in his room in company with a friend, who, probably was his room mate. This friend got out a pistol and began “playing” with it and in some manner accidentally discharged it, (as is generally the case), the bail entering the body of young Whisnant, The unfortunate young man lived until Monday morning, when he breathed bis last. His remains were brought home to Blacksburg and interred in the cem etery at that place. Mr. Whisnaht was twenty-five years of age; he was a bright, ener getic and industrious young man, and his tragic death was a heavy blow to his family, as well as a source of deep sorrow to bis numerous friends in Blacksburg. W T e extend our deepest sympathy to the heart-broken parents and their family. Dear* no Kesewblance to Keene. All doubts in regard to the identity of the man in the Oxford, Miss., jail who claimed to be M. R. Reese, the Blacksburg murderer, should now be dispelled. Sheriff Logan, of York- ville, attended the Confederate re- ipbis, Tenn., and from .Oxford, Miss., to baen talked Kobbery In liiackitburg. On Sunday night last the store of D. R. Bird, at Blacksburg, was en tered by burglars, his safe blown open and over $100 taken from it. It was said to be a thorough job and looked like the work of experts. Mr. Bird’s first intimation that he had been robbed was when he opened his store next morning. When he went in he found the safe door toru off and lying about three feet from the safe, his money missing and his books and papers scattered over the floor. The robbers left no clue by which they might be apprehended, but were as slide in covering up their tracks as they were in blowing open and robbing the safe without being detec ted. FlrMt DUtlm-tlon in St««lioM. In the list of distinguished scholars in the senior class for the 108th year of the Bingham School, Asheville, N. C., Stanyarne Little, of Gaffney, appears as entitled to first distinction in English, Latin, Mathematics and Military Science and Tactics. He received no demerits during the entire year. All of which goes to show that Stanyarne is a hard stu dent and an obedient young man. If he applies these qualities to practical life he will distinguish himself after he leaves school.
