Murder in Edgefield.
Edgefield, May 21.?At 9
o'clock last night, at this place,
within 20 feet of Macedonia
Negro church, where a meeting
was going on, Ed Brooks, a Negro
man, shot and instantly killed
his wife, Macy, the weapon used
being a pistol, and the ball taking
effect in her head. As soon as
the alarm was given the Negroes
rushed from the building and on
ascertaining what had transpired
there was a cry of lynch him, and
the chances are Brooks would
have met with a summary death
had he not been hurried off to
jail.
It appears from the testimony
taken at the coroner's inquest
that Brooks had threatened the
life of his wife the day before
because she ret used to carry out
some command of his. A witness
testilied that just previous
to the shooting Brooks said to his
wife, " you, you won't
do so no more." Brooks claims
that, the shooting was accidental,
but the testimony points to r,
deliberate murder. Two years
ago Brooks killed John Williams,
an old Negro man, but upon trial
was acquitted.?News <& Courier.

A School Hoard Convention.
The department of school administration
(school board) of
the National Educational Asso- i
ciation will meet at Charleston,
S. C., Thursday and Friday, July
?2th and 13th. It is the first time
in the history of the association
that the school boards meet in
the South.
Those in charge of the program I
have borne this in mind and
have, in consequence, drawn
some of the leading Southerners,
now serving on a board of educa
tion, into requisition. Kverv
school board in the south has
hewn invited to attend. A half
fare to Charleston has been so
cured on all railroads in the
United States. Special hotel
rates will be made at Charleston.
School boards are invited to
attend in a bodv or to send delegates.
The number which has al
ready accepted indicate that the
attendance will be quite large.
