THREE HELD IN SLAYING A packed courtroom of around 1,000 persons heard a coroner’s jury announce a verdict last Fri day night that John A. Livingston came to his death by the hands of Jewell Donald Wicker, Joseph Seby Richardson and John Her bert Lollis, and recommended that they be held for grand jury action. Deputy Sheriff J. C. Neel, the only witness at the inquest, de- . scribed the killing as told to him in a confession of the two men. Lollis and Wicker: “On Saturday night, a week ago, the four white men met on the highway and went to a trestle under the tracks of the Southern railway about three miles below Prosperity, about a 100 years from the Columbia- Greenville highway. Following an argument over the possession of some beer, the four men went upon the railroad tracks where a fight ensued. Wicker struck Livingston with his fist, with Lollis following this with a stick and then one of the three inflict ed another blow. “Believing that their companion was dead, the trio took the body and placed it between the tracks hoping to create the impression that he was accidently killed by train. “Shortly thereafter, a Southern Railway passenger train pulled by a Diesel engine with Engineer Watts at the throttle and Fire man Deloach at his side rolled over the body, badly mangling it and strewing parts along the tracks for some distance. “Fireman Deloach noticed an object on the tracks but 1 thought it to be only a brown piece of paper. Engineer Watts saw some one flash a light and again saw the light as the train approached and passed the trestle. “The three white men then spent about two hours at Lollis’ home after eating supper. Later, two of the men, Richardson and Wicker, left the house and spent the night in some bushes near the Lollis house. “Early Sunday morning, about 6 o’clock .Lollis strolled' to’ the railroad tracks and, finding the mangled body of one of his com panions, gave out the announce ment of finding the body.” Besides Deputy Neel, Sheriff T. M. Fellers was assisted in the investigation by Deputies L. L. Henderson and H. K. Shannon. Wicker and Lollis confessed to stricking Livingston and said that Richardson aided in the killing and placing of the body on the tracks. Richardson so far has denied all connection with the crime. All three men are in jail and will probably be tried at the June term of criminal court. The inquest, which created more interest than any held here in years, was presided over by Coroner George Summer and the state was represented by Solicitor Hugh Beasley. MRS. MARILZY K.

HONOR THE VETERANS WHILE THEY'RE HERE As I was standing near the State House at Columbia a short time ago I noticed approaching me a man. He was not hand some, neither did he possess ath letic figurt. Ordinarily this man would not have attracted much attention. His feeble legs trem bled under a heavy burden. His gray locks were dangling on his stooped shoulders and his face was marked with wrinkles and age. As I stood there I had the old man covered with a fixed and en chanted gaze, and a sense of sad ness came over me. He* was just the kind of a person to re mind a fellow that ere many, years had passed, we too will be victims of time’s sad and cruel change. As the feeble old man came on toward me, I noticed that he wore on his faded coat a Confederate cross. As the old soldier passed me I greeted him, but he uttered not a sound. He did not hear me or even see me; then to my great surprise a complete change came over the old man; his feeble tot tering steps gave way to a half military tread and he tried, al most in vain to brace up his stooped shoulders. As I was wondering what had caused this sudden change, saw the old soldier stop and gaze in the face of his leader and com rade and the old soldier lifted his slouch hat to the bronze likeness of Wade Hampton. I almost fancied that I could see the bronze hand reach down .for a hearty handshake and I could almost see the bronze face put on a broad smile, but both fig ures remained very still. It was a grand sight to see the old man standing there with his bared head reverently bowed, while the golden sunbeams danced on his gray locks and made them look like marble. I walked up to the old soldier and raised my hat to him, but he paid me not the slightest atten tion. As I stood there I could al most see the visions as they pass ed swiftly through the old man's mind. I would have asked the story, but it would have spoiled the tableau, and as I walked slow ly away, I knew that the old : . .■ - v'.". ■■J Y'-. -T . -- v ; -'<*'.■ C-iSI soldier’s dream here on earth would soon be a reality in hea ven. As I sat upon the stone steps of the State House, I also had a vision; I saw an army of hero es, unused to the toils of any kind, march off from their homes of luxury and wealth to defend their soil against invaders. ' I thought of how they startled the world with their overwhelming victories. The nations wondered at their power of endurance and admired them for their valor, not as rebels, but as a nation fighting for their own dear native land. At last, overpowered, over whelmed, and completely crush ed by an overwhelming majority of numbers and resources, only when the very last ray of hope had vanished and the hand of destiny had showed too plainly that no feat of arms or endurance could defeat its designs, only then they laid down their batter ed arms and bullet-rent banners and turned with haggard faces and worn-out uniforms, broken in health an dresources, but not in spirits, and started their home ward march. O, what a sight to greet the eyes of a worn-out sol dier: Their rich fields had suc cumbed to weeds and idleness, their hpmes had been ransacked by friend and foe to support a war. Practically every home wait ed in vain for a loved one’s re turn. Their government was in the hand of scums and scalla- wags. Did they despair? Perhaps the same destiny that had de feated them on the attlefields came to their rescue and as a crushed nation and with defeat still hovering over them, they turned on their persecuting foe and won a glorious victory of freedom. When I awoke from my vision. I thought of my old soldier but he, like the majorty of the old Confederate veterans, had passed out of sight Men, let us honor the veterans, as the old soldier did the monu ment of Wade Hampton; let’s raise our hats to them. I say men because the noble women are doing their part. Let us honor the old veterans before it is too late, for in a few fleet ing years, a few crumbling monu- (continued on page NEWS BRIEFS UNDERGOES MAJOR OPERATION Mrs. Howard Clark, who under went a major operation in the Greenwood County Hospital Mon day morning is reported to have stood the operation fine and is getting along nicely.
