of $700,000 to the debt is easy en

arc such t'.i:.t. I laid it dilficul t to

I shall take it fur granted that

'I he next place, I ought t" be able to

This, however, is not absolutely

to be able to show it now.
A uothcr thing. I have your official

Murder in Sumter.
From the Columbia Register.
SuMTIiM, S. C, Nov. 21.
' Rev. R. K. White, who has boon
preaching at Kings tree, Mount Hope
and Forrcston, and who was hut re
cently married, while coming from
Manning to Sumter in a buggy with
his wife, was shot in I lie head and
killed by .some unknown person. He
was carried to the nearest, house,
(Spencer Davis',) nine miles from
Sumter. He; lived but twenty min
utes. He was educate I at the .South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary,
and was a young man of great prom
ise. He was born in Ireland.and was
a delegate to the Baptist Convention ,
which assembled here to-day. There
is great excitement among the few
who knew this sad event to-night
Colonel Walsh, acting Coroner, Dr.
John S. Houghnon and others leave
immediately to hold an inquest and
post mo'tcm examination.
??MTEK, S. C, Nov. 22.
A 7?>s. marttm examination of the
body of Rov. R. E. White was made
to day, about 1 o'clock, by Dr Hugh
son, at the hou.-c ol Mr. Spencer
Davis, nine miles below Sumter,
which revealed a gunshot wound
just above the left ear. The ball
penetrated the brain, making its exit
through the opposite parietal bone
and producing death in a few minutes.
It is supposed that the murderer
mistook Mr. White for a gentleman
of Clarendon, who took an active
part in the interest ol the Democracy
in the late campaign.
This morning Richard Coleman, a
colored man. living five miles below
the scene of the murder, was arrested
and lodged iu jail, circumstantial
evidence being strong against him
The funeral services of Mr. White
took place at the Baptist Church this
j.fler noon -The Baptist State Con
vention, now in session at this p lace,
attended in a body. Impressive and
touching addresses were delivered by
Rev A. W. Lairiar and Dr. J.C.
Hiden.
The body will bd taken on the
train tonight, r? route for Spartan
burg, the home of the bride of yester
day and the widow of to day.
Sumter, S. C.j Nov. 2f>.
Further developments in the case j
of the killing o Re\. R. E. White
cause the belief (bat he came to his
death by an accidental shot from a
rille in the bands of some person a", a
distance, the ball ricocheting and
striking him ai such an angle as to
at first make the impression that the
shot was but a lew steps oil*. Richard
Coleman has been released.
Life!
It we die to day, the suu will shine
as brightly, the birds will sing as
sweetly to morrow. Business will
n?>t be suspended a moment, aud the
great mass will not bestow a thought
upon our memories 'Is he dead ?'
will be the solemn inquiry of a few, as
they pass to their work. But no one
will miss us, execptiu ; out immedi
ate c nnections, and in a short time
they will forget and laugh as merrily
as when we sat beside them. Thus
shall we aP, now active iu life, pass
away. Our children crowd close be
hind us and, they will soon pass
away. In a lew years not a living
being can say, "I remember him.' He
lived iu another age, and did business
with those who slumber in the tomb.
This is li el How rapidly it passes.
