KILLED BY A POSsE.--On Friday last, three wvhito men, Isaiah Smith, Arthur Bllizz/ard and James Prico, and a boy named Johnm Price were arrest ed and lodg;ed in jail, on the chiarge of complicity In the killing of a negro named Adam Boyd, a few miles be low Simpson's Turnout on Thursday night. The story is that these men, with William Harwell, wvere appoint ed a posse b~y Trial Jus1.ice Hogan's constable, to search the house of the deceased. They approached the. house, when Boyd pulled up tie ilooring and got under nmeath. Being discovered, ho was pulledout, when he d.-ow a pistol on the party, one of whomn (which one it is not known) immediately shot him, the ball pIercing the heart. After the man was killed H-arwvoll went off', and the others came to Winnsboro to re port the affair, when they found that the brother of the -deceased had already come to town and taken a w arr'ant for. their arrest. .An inquest1 was held by Coroner Iltnant, and the jury found that the deceased came to his death11 'romn a pistol shot at the hands ot .some person unknown, and that the tive parties above named were accessaries to the killing. It is said that the dead negro was an old offender. Several nionths ago he carried three gallons of whiskey to a negro frolic, mid retailed it. When No-Nose Wilson and the other raiders were in this county hunting up moonshiners, they caught this fellow. As it was a cold day, after riding ia while Wilson got oir his.horse and pit the negro onl it. lie rodo along leisirely for a while until a favorable mnomeIt arrived, wheit he stuck spurs and put. oll' at a run, thus escaping the nme-ciful clutches of Uncle Sam, only to meet a worse fate. TlE KCNIGII'S OF 1YOR. Officers Recently . Elected by the Winnsboro Lodge --Something About the Aims of the Organization. The following officers have been elected by True Brotherhood Lodge, No. 3 1.1, Knighu of Honor, to serve for the ensuing term: Dictat or--Jno. S. Reynolds. Vice-Dictator-Isaiah Simpson. Assiktant Dictator-W. II. Kerr. (leportcr-E. S. Chandler. Financial Ileportor-W. C. Besty. Treasurer-G. A. White. Chaplain-Rev. W. A. Rogers. Guide-Jas. Q. Davis. Gkuardian-D. R. Flennikon. The order of the Knights of Honor dales its organization only fivo or six years back. In that short space of time it has spread over tle whole Union, and now has a inembership of at least fifty thousand. There is a Grand 10Lodge organization in nearly every State in the Union with a Siu preme Lodge organization which ex cecises a supervisory control over the whole and itiies the members into one solid, hIarnionious brotherhood, extelding fromi1 Mainoji to California. The imost important featuro in this order, and the one wich has given it suchl' wonderful popularity, is the in surance feature. Each member is re quired, when called on, to pay in one dAllar as an assessment for the widows' and orphans' benefit fund. The treasurer of the Lodge forwards this to the Supremeo Treasurer. Eacl assessment carries into the Supreme Treasnry fifty thousand dollars. Thon upon the dcath of a member, hi4 widow and children are promptly paid tile sun of two thousand dollars, When the amount in the Supreme Treasury is rednced below two thous and dollars, another assessment i called for, and thus no member evei has more than one dollar at a tine ft the hands(1 of the officers of the organi zation. Tfhe fund is paid out as fast as i is received; no0 investments have tC ho0 made; the expenses as compared with other insurance organizations are hut a tr-'le, and there is little risk tc be run on account .of faithlessness or miismanageiment by the ofmcers whc handle13 the fund. TIhe experionco of the last two or three years shows that the yearly assessments amount to about clevyon dollars. This wvill be increased about two or three dollars in the year just past, on account of the yellowi fever epidemic which, of course, caused an unusualincr-ease in the death irate among the membership. Norn ar-e r-eceived into membership, excopi such as ar-c sound in health, all having to nu'der-go a careful medical examina tion betore being received into the or-der. Members ovei- for-ty-five years !)ay an additional assessment. Per sons over fifty years of age caannoi join the or-der-, except as honorary memiber-s, in which case they do noi get the beneflt of the insurance fea turec. SHERIFF'S SALE.
