AWFUL TRAGEDY AT FLORENCE. A. C. L. FLAGMAN KILLS ANOTHER - DOMESTIC UNHAPPINESS INSTIGATED THE CRIME. Mr J R Gulledge, formerly of M C WRS shot and kill Mauvowivf *. ? v/, .. w _ ed on the streets of Florence late Friday afternoon by Mr S Jess Kenf nedy of Florence. Kennedy fired five shots into the body of Gulledge, each shot taking deadly effect. The stricken man did not utter a word after being shot. Kennedy was arrested at once, officers taking j him on the spot of the shooting and | placing him in jail. The shooting: occurred near the corner of East, Evans and Harllee streets at about! six o'clock, and there was,a number of people on the streets at that time, some of whom saw ijt. The Coroner held an inquest Friday night and the verdict reached was that Gulledge came to his death from a gunshot wound at the hands S .7 Kpnnedv. Saturday morning the remains were t ken to Wadesboro. N C, for the funeral service and interment. There were various stories current last Friday as to the cause of the shooting. From what can be gathered, other than the'evidence given at the inquest, it seems that bad blood had existed between the two men for some time. A shooting scrape between them was only averted recently by cooler heads, friends of both parties. When the two men met on the streets Friday afternoon pistols were immediately brought into play, with the result that Gulledge was instantly killed When Chief Brunson arrived on the scene he found beside Gulledge's Dody a loaaea revolver, which he had whipped out of his pocket but had not had time to fire. Gulledge was -unmarried. He was a flagman of the Atlantic Coast Line, running between Florence and Wadesboro, N C, and was about 25 years old. He was a Mason and a Shriner. Kennedy is a flagman on the same system of roads and running on passenger trains between Florence, Charleston and Savannah. The Thornwell Orphanage. The Thornwell Orphanage located at Clinton is the name of the home for orphans under the care of the Presbyterian churches in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It has thirty-five teachers and matrons for its twenty-four departments and cottage homes, in which are sheltered above three hundred orphans. The home receives children from any part of the Union, and from any denomination. During July and August eighty-two applications were received, of whom only nineteen could be accepted. Above two hundred are on the waiting list. These are all supported by the generosity of the Presbvterian public. We hope the friends of the schoul will do as all the other orphan homes are expecting. Observe Orphan Work Day on the 13th of October. The observance consists in sending your day's wage for that day to the institution you favor. The Thornwell home has filled up every vacancy, notwithstanding the war and high prices and will shortly erect another cottage. The pupils of the home have the best of schooling and manual training and are very carefully taught. None but orphans are received. Contributions should be sent to Rev J B Branch, Clinton, S (J. ihe life or the institution nas been forty-two years in which time more than a thousand boys and girls have been made into useful and educated citizens. Well Said. The idea of a woman dressing up as a soldier and practicing with a musket is not a pleasant one. They are not built to fight. Their duties are of a finer sort. If there are not men enough in a country to do all the fighting necessary, we might as well stop having a country. There is a place for women in war, but it is not out in the ranks, to be shot at. And to compel a man to shoot at a woman is a sacrilege that should not be required of him. To bring her out as food for cannon is so repulsive that the very idea almost makes a man want to shoot somebody. No, no; keep the soldier uniform off of the woman and take the musket out of her hands. God made them to save people; not to kill them.?Ohio State Journal. Try us on your Job Printing.
