ATTORNEY GENERAL
KILLS NEGRO AT GLOS,
WAS SHOWi.XG A PISTOL TO A
FRIEND WHEN WEAPON FIRED
ACCIDENTALLY.
Columbia, December 6: - Robert
Marshall colored, was killed tonight
by Attorney General Thomas H Pee-1
pies at the Elks' club in this city,.
v. here the negro was employed as
chef. The inquest will be held at J
toon tomorrow. According to those
at the club the shooting was entirely
accidental and Mr Peeples is sorry
beyond expression at the happening.
It was a pistol shot.the ball piercing
the brain of the negro. The occurrence
was about 10 o'clock. Mr
Peeples rested tonight at the Gov
ernor's mansion, where he went just j
after the shooting took place.
Governor Blease was out of the j
city,being at his home in Newberry, j
He made an effort, according to!
friends, to come here late tonight, j
but could not reach the city. He is
expected to return early tomorrow.
The news of the shooting spread
about the city, though every effort
was made to keep it quiet. Many
friends thought it best not to publish
anything about the affair, but
as it was an accidental killing, according
to those at the club tonight,
others deemed it best that the facts

at the Coroner's inquesc.
Sheriff tyeCain was on hand personally
at the club soon after the
shooting and on the suggestion that
Mr Peeples get a good night's rest
at the Governor's mansion he sent a
deputy with him. Sheriff McCain
v/as heard to express the opinion
that this was a matter r. form, altnough
the shooting was explained
as accidental.
J F Weaver, attendant at the
club, is quoted as saying that Mr
Peeples was passing a gun over the
ct nter to him when it exploded,the

gro, who was instantly killed. The
gun is said to have been a 44-calibre.
The ball entered at centre of right
temple and came out of left temple.
A brother of the dead negro was
present at the shooting. He afterwards
stated that he had heard no
words between his brother and Mr
Peeples, and the first thing he knew
was the report of the pistol, which
he was very much surprised to hear.
The brother is an employe of the
club also. It has been very difficult
to secure any coherent statement of
the affair tonight,and it will be after
the inquest at noon tomorrow before
all the details will be obtainable.
All those present agree, however,
that the shooting was accidental.
Mr Peeples was asked for a statement
and said he would make one
tomorrow.
THE CORONER'S INQUEST.
That Robert Marshall, the negro
cook at the Elks' club, came to his
death Saturday night from the accidental
discharge of a pistol in the
hands of Attorney General Thomas
H Peeples, was the verdict of the
Coroner's jury in the foregoing case.
A FAIR WARNING.
Cob That Should Be Heedea by Kinys
tree Residents.
Frequently the first sign of kid- j
ley trouble is a slight ache or pain
in the loins. Neglect of this warning
makes the way easy for more serious
troubles?dropsy, gravel, Bright's
disease. 'Tis well to pay attention to
t.he first sign. Weak kidneys generally
grow weaker and delay is often
dangerous. Residents of this locality
place reliance in Doan's Kidney Pills.
This tested remedy has been used in
kidney trouble over 50 years?is
recommended all over the civilized
world. Read the following:
J F Turbeville, 117 S Jarrett St,
Florence, S C, says: "I am confident
that Doan's Kidney Pills are a good
kidney remedy and act just as represented.
Pains in my back annoyed
me a great deal and I also had trouble
from irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me relief from these
symptoms of kidney complaint. I
have no hesitation in recommending
them."
