KILLED HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Homicide in Edgefield County Growing
Out of Domestic Troubles.
EdgeBeld, August 2b:?Dr Charles
Titwell was shot and killed by his
brother-in-law, Yancey M May, at
Johnston this morning about 0
o'clock. The weapon used was a shotgun.
The deceased received two
wounds, one a little to the left of the
backbone on thp left side and the
other in the shoulder. Dr Titwell
lived about 30 minutes after he was
shot, and it is said that he made an
ante-mortem statement to Dr B L
Allen, but what it was has not been
disclosed.
From the testimony taken at the
mque3t it appears that the deceased
and his wife had had 3ome trouble
yesterday, during which he chastised
her; that she left and went to her
brother-in-law's house and the deceased
went-there this morning and
endeavored to get her to return home,
which she refused to do. During his
stay Mr May and Dr Titwell got
into an altercation, during which
time Mrs Titwell left and went to a
neighbor's house.
The deceased then came back into
the street and was going in pursuit
Ut.i Yf ft*
l/JL IJI3 W11C| TV I1UU <U1 ?Mi?J
on the scene with a shotgun, the
contents of which he emptied into
the body of Dr Titwell.
The shooting occurred some distance
from the house of Mr May,and
as yet it is not known what the deceased
was doing at the time he received
his mortal wound.
Titwell is from Newberry county
and has only lived in Johnston a
Bhort while and, it is said, bore an
unenviable reputation and had frequently
maltreated his wife.
Mr May is one of Johnston's best
citizens and claims that the killing
was entirely justifiable and unavoidable.
Mr May has surrendered to the
sheriff and will apply for bail at once*

STILL DRAGS ON.
I
: BOARD OF CANVASSERS ALLOWS RECOUNT
OF BALLOTS AND OVER RULED
DEMURRER TO PROTEST.
The county board ot canvass-)
;ers, pursuant to adjournment-j
! last Tuesday, August 24, met in'
1 the court house at 11:30 a. m.1
Tuesday, August 31, and announced
its readiness to enter
; into a consideration of the con:
test filed in the new county election
held August 17. The new ;
I county interests were represent-}
) ed as before by Attorneys Welch '!
! and Bass,while for the opposing I
I side Messrs Lee ?x Askins an-!
' nounced that they had associat- j
ed with them Mende! L Smith,;
Esq, of Camden.
The contestee submitted a de- j
; murrer to the sufficiency of the [
| grounds of protest upon certain!
1 grounds.
After argument on this ques-!
j tion, pro and con, and, by the j
way, it may oe remarnea mat;
the demurrer submitted was a
remarkably able document, Mr
Welch claimed that there had
been an agreement between
counsel, as he understood it, tot
proceed with the recount of the i
ballots upon reassembling of the
board and insisted that the recount
be gone into at once.
Messrs tee & Askins denied the
existence of such agreement.
After argument as to whether
the demurrer should be considered
or the votes counted, the
board ruled by a vote of two to
one that the ballots be counted,
Messrs J L Gowdy and W E
Hanna voting for the recount,
while Mr N D Lesesne, the other
member of the board,stated that
he did not understand that there
was any such agreement and de-1
sired to have his objection to the
counting of the ballots noted.

its determination to count the

ballots grounds of objection
were introduced and overruled.
In order to expedite the counting
of the ballots three squads
were created under conditions
agreed to by both sides and the
rprrmrtt was prifprprt intrv Tf was
agreed that all the objectionable
ballots be placed in an envelope
or package and labeled
with the name of the box from
which it was ta^en and replaced
in said box, any such objection
to be passed upon later by the
board.
After the count was made
those entrusted with the recounting
of the ballots submitted
a tabulation showing the following
result:
Total number of votes in all
the boxes, 1034; for Iiutledge
county, 604; against Rutledge
county, 368; 42 questionable
ballots and live blank.
At this time, being well on
toward 6 o'clock p. m., it was
agreed that the board adjourn %
meet at 11 a. m. Wednesday
to hear argument by counsel
representing either side as to
whether the questionable ballots,
any or a)} of them, should
be counted in the hnal tabulation.
It was agreed that the ballot
boxes be taken care of in the
same way that they were before,
that is, by being deposited
in a jury room, the door of the
room locked and sealed and the
key placed in charge of the
chairman of the board of canvassers.
Wednesday, at 11 a. m., the
board of canvassers met again
and over-ruled the contestee's demurrer,
two to one, Messrs Govrdy
and Hanna voting to overrule
the demurrer and Mr Lesesne
to sustain it.
The board then went into a
hearing of the grounds of proi
i v ? .1 1 !
test ana tne eviuence oeanug
thereon, which continued until
Wednesday afternoon and is still
in progress as we go to press.
