Stephens in which the lat ter was shot and mortally wounded. The bail entered on the right side of his breast below the collar bone and ranged a little downward lodging in the spine. The body below the wound was paralyzed. \lr . Stephens was cart ried to Chester Timrsjlay afternoon accolmpanied by his wife and DIr. .\iil ler, but all treatruent failed to bring relie' and h1e died 'ril ay tuornilg.

The cause of the trouble, it is said, was a former dilliculty bet ween .lones and Stephens' son in which .)ones had shot young Stephens. In Thurs(lay's trouble it appears that Stephens was the aggreksor, Jones claiming at ilrst to be unpir.epared, but at a more op portune time drew his gun and fired when Stephens was not expecting it, nor even looking towards him. Kye witnesses say that when Stephens fell he pulled his pistol and shot at .lones as the latter went out at the back door but the ball went wild. .ones was taken in charge at once and carried to Laurens Thursday afternoon, wheie he is still in jail. Both parties are from Nehwber ry county. .\Mr. .l ones is a young man somew here in t wenty, while Mr. Stephens was fifty or more year's old. The crime created much ex citentent here and is greatly deplored by our people. Those present, it is said, did what they could to prevent the I rouble. .\ir. and .\ris. II.
