DIED OF HIS WOUNDS.
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.

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.
