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.
