Oat, Negro KUU Another In a OUpute Oyer Ten UeutH. Saturday evening in Blacksburg Rich Hila and Will Sarratt, both ne groes. became involved ! n a difficulty ainut ten cents, the result of which was that Sarratt cut Hale with a knife, from the effects of which he died in a few moments. Cornier Vine^ert was summoned and went to Blacksburg and held an inquest Sunday Those present at the killing were sworr, and testified in substance to the facts as stated above. Dr. D. S. Ramseur made the post-mortem examination and made the following statement to the jury : Saturday evening about 7 o’clock a party of negroes were out on the South Carolina and Georgia Exten sion Railroad running from Blacks burg to Gaffney, about one mile from Blacksburg, when Rich Hale and Will Sarratt got into a quarrel about ten cents that Hale owed Sar- ratt. Hot words passed from one to the other for a short time, when Sarratt cut Hale in the side with a knife from which he died in a few moments before medical aid could reach him. and after he had spoken only a few unimuortant words. Sur- r itt left at once and has not been seen since. Dr. D S. Ramseur being duly sworn said : “I am a regular practic ing ohysician. I examined the body of Rich Huie, found a wound in left side, inflicted apparently with some sharp instrument. * With further in vestigation I found that wound en tered the body between the fourth and fifth ribs going downward and in ward and entering cavity of heart. This wound was sufficient to cause death. Signed. D. S. Ramseur, M. D.” The jury rendered the following verdict: We, the jury, find that Rich Hale came to his death by a wound inflic ted bv some sharp instrument in the hands of Will Sarratt. Signed: J. B. 0assign.

It Is to lie (liven I’mler the Direction ’ of Prof. George Pratt Maxim. The music committee of the Bu ford Street Methodist church have completed arrangements with Prof. George Pratt Maxim to give the beautiful cantata “Esther the Beauti ful queen,” at the Star Theatre. The caotata will be given some time during the month of April. There will be a chorus of thirty voices chosen from the choirs of the Metho dist, Presbyterian an Baptist church es as well as a few outside voices. This will be the musical event of the season for Gaffney and it is confident ly expected that the seating capacity of the theatre will be taxted to its utmost. The cantata has the sanc tion and support of the musical peo ple of Gaffney as well as the influence of the clergy men of the citv, and is given for u most praise worthy object. Let everybody unite in making it the star event of the season. AmnneiueiitM at The Htar Theatre. “The Prisoner of Zenda” was pre sented at the Star Theatre last even ing to a small hut appreciative audi ence. The smallness of the audience was probably due to a very unfavorble criticism of the company which ap peared in Sunday’s Charlotte Observ er. The company had been strength ened somewhat by the arrival of Mr. Leighton and the attraction was fairly good, in fact so good that it deserved a much better criticism than that given by the Observer. Lehr & Williams will be the next attraction, March 1G, 17, 18. Of th's company the Monroe Enquirer says: “The Lehr it Williams Comedy Company has been giving good plays in the opera house every night this week. This company is a favorite in Monroe and it gets better every time it comes. Last rrght ‘The Count of Monte Crislo’ was splendidly render ed and the large audience was de lighted with the play. The specialties are all new and ‘cat :hy.’ Billy Lehr is at his best ” ttfort-M and Wa<e!iouHt)K Moved, W. C. Hopper, the champion home- mover. is moving Gie stores and ware houses oil the Southern Railroad right of way recently directed to be moved by order of court. The store house recently occupied by the Smith Hardware Co. has been bought by Capt. S. 8. Ross and is being moved to one of his lots on Granard street. One of the big warehouses will be moved in rear of Carroll, Carpenter it Byers’ big Granard street store. Some of the others will be carried to the rear of Granard street business lots and the big Alliance warehouse, which has been bought by J. Eh. Jefferies, will be torn down and will probably be rebuilt on some of his property in the city. The removal of these houses, while working a hardship to the owners, will open up a large space about the Southern depot which the Southern can improve and make one of the handsomest little parks on its lines in the South. Sunday fit Buford Street Church. Last Sundav morning Rev. J. M. Steadman preached an interesting sermon to the children of the con gregation, on the “Control of the Tongue.” A large number of the children were at church, and it is to be regretted that so few of their parents were present. Miss Lucy Barton’s ren iition of “Jesus Lover of My Soul” was most effective, and her faithful work and regular atten dance in the choir is highly appre ciated by the church. At night Mr. Steadman preached an earnest sermon on ‘ Opportunities and Responsibilities ” The old and familiar, “Jesus Savior, Pilot Me,” by Miss William:*, as a solo, was most impressively sung. Her enun ciation is unusually Gear, and she always seems to enter fully into the spirit of the hymn. Under her tactful leadership the Buford Street choir compares favorably with that of any church in the city, and the congregation recognize thit, the com mute were most fortunate in secur ing her services.
