HBRY WBRTS SURRBNDERS. He Killed Henry N. Auton With a Brick Over a Very Trivial Matter Ten Years Ago. Henry Worts, who killed Henry N. Auton in West End, this city, ten years ago, surrendered yesterday to Sheriff Buford. Werts has lived in Columbia a good eal of the time since the commision f the deed. At the time of the homi. cide Sheriff Buford was not in office, and a warrant for Werts' arrest was placed in his hands last fall. Sheriff Buford has made two trips to Columbia since that time in search of Werts, but both times he missed his man. He got a letter to him, however, advising him that it was best that he surrender, as he intended to catch him and would catch him. Werts had been working in one of the mills in Columbia. A few days ago he went to Greenwood county, near Dysons, to visit his old home, and on Friday he came to Newberry. He remained here until yesterday morning, when lie went to Sheriff Buford's office and surrendered. Werts employed George Johnstone, Esq., as counsel. Application was made immediately for a writ of habeas corpus, and Werts was carried to Greenwood yesterday by Sheriff Buford to appear before Judge Chas. G. Dantzler on an application for bail. In the proceed ings yesterday afternoon Werts was represented by Sam H. McGhee* Esq., the law partner in Greenwood of Messrs. Johnstone & Welch. Though he has lived in Columbia a good deal of the time, Werts has also been in other towns working in the mili. He is a young man. He is se verely afflicted with consumption. * The alleged crime with which Werts is charged was committed in December, 1893, THE' KILLING. On Tuesday night, the 26th of De cember, 1893, Reuben McGowan and Frank Smith, Living in West End, got into a quarrel. Smith had accused Mc Gowan of slapping his son and a diffi culty was brought about. Henry Werts, who was McGowan's son-in-law, was present, and went into the fight to aid McGowan. Henry Auton attempted to stop the fight. At the coroner's in quest one of the witnesses said Auton kicked McGowan in the face. The fight finally stopped and the par ties went into McGowan's yard. Au ton and Werts said some very rough things to each other and Werts picked up a brick and hit Auton on the head. Auton left threatening to have Werts arrested. Next morning Auton died from the rupture of a blood vessel where the missile struck him. Werts fled on Tuesday night. WOODMEN OF THE WORLD.

Young Man Traveling for a Picture House Who Says He Has no People and no Home. M. C. McCollum, a young man trav eling for the L1. M. Day company, a picture enlarging house at Charlotte, attempted to end his life in his room at the Crotwell hotel Thursday evening. He had been sick all day and in the evening his fever was very high and he was delirious. The maid went to his room about 8 o'clock Thursday evening to see if he needed attention. She en tered the room, pushing aside a table which had been placed against the door. McCollum was lying on the bed, very bloody. There was a gash on each side of his neck and one across the left arm just below the elbow. A doctor and the police authorities were immediately summoned, and Chief Harris and Dr. James K. Gilder vpnt to the scene. The wounds were not serious and were soon dressed by Dr. Gilder. The wounds have almost en tirely healed, but the yo ung man is still confined to his bed with fever. When questioned McCollum said that if he cut his throat he didn't know 1. That was all that could be got from him. He said that he had no home and no relatives, but that he was not in bad circumstances and there was no reason why he should wish to (lie. The only weapon found in the room was a small pen knife and this was in his trousers' pocket on the otherside of the room. The knife was (lull, with a big gash in the blade.

The annual reunion of the alumni, students and friends of Newberry Col lege, for Newberry and Lexington counties, was held at Little Mountain on Friday. The crowd was about as large as for several years past, mum bering in all probably three thousand persons. Two hundred and seventy-five tickets were sold from Newberry. The day was very pleasantly spent. Every section of Newberry and Lexing ton counties, and many other counties in the State, and other States were represented *among the alumni and students present and old college friend ships were renewed. Since the last reunion at Little Mountain several have crossed the shadowy lic.9 and their ab sence was noted with pain. Every sur viving member of the class of nineteen hundred and two, which includes all save one, was present, and many of the other classes were well represented. But the crowd was by no -neans con fined to students and former students. The crowd at Little Mountain on Fri day had only one limit. Every person who was there is a friend of the college. Old people and young people and mid dle aged were there-the elders dis cussing old times, the young people discussing the weather and other things. The weather was a very fruitful topic. For it was warm, very warm. The mercury got a good start early in the day and kept crawling up. The sun shone fiercely and the mountain breezes went out of business. But sparkling v ater flowed from historic springs and the people philos6phically consoled themselves with the thought that ice cold lemonade is good for the health in the good ol summer time, any way. Several earnest and thoughtful ad dresses in the interest of education were delivered. The first speaker was Mr. B. W. Wessinger, followed by Prof. S. J. Derrick and Col. E. H- Aull. After dinner Prof. E. B. Wallace, superintendent of education for Rich land county, spoke. Dr. George B. Cromer, president of the college, made a short address also. The speeches were received with good attention. Many of those present brought picnic dinners with them. A very excellent barbecue dinner was served )y Mr. A. N. Boland. The Little Mountain Reunion Asso ciation elected the following officers for another year President, Prof. S. J. Derrick. Vice-President, lon. 1). Frank Efird. Secretary, W. Aug. Shealy. Treasurer, W. A. Counts. DR. VOIGT ACCEPTS. The Position of Dean of the Lutheran The ological Seminary of the United Synod, South. Dr. A. G. Voigt has accepted the posit,ion of (lean of the faculty of the Southern Theological Sem inary, to suc ceed the Rev. J. A. Morchead, who re signed to accept the presidlency of Roa noke College, Salem, Va. This position wvas tendleredl Dri. Voigt at the recent meeting of the board of (directors held in Charlotte. Trhe news of Dr. Voigt's acceptance wvill be received with a gm~at deal of p)leasure throughout the Southern Church. D)r. Voigt is one of the ablest men in the Church and his connection wvith the seminary will lend very mate rially to the wveight and influence of that institution, and consequently to the entire Church. Dropped Dead. John James, an 01(1 negro man living on Duflie Sligh's p)lace near Ebenezer church, dropped dleadl Thu rsday a ftcr noon. lie ate a hearty (dinner Thurs (lay andl after dinner wvent out to feed some stock.

Kibler with him. The verdlict of the coroner wvas that James came to his death from natural causes. Dr. Kibler p)ronounced it a ease of heart failure. .James was about 60 years of age.
