TELEPHONE NO. , THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1910. .Shooting Affray at Denmark There was a serious shooting of-; fair at Denmark last Thi.rs ay in which Henry M. Kay. Jas. R. Th? ripson, and Carrol Mobley wer badly wounded, two of the men probably fatally wounded. Two negroes were killed. n7,d] Anderson, one of the negroes alleged to have been implicated in the .-hooting affray in which the negroes were killed and three white men were injured, was captured by W. J. Hutto. chief of police of Denmark. and placed in the State penitentiary for safekeeping. Chief Hutto captured Anderson about one and three-quarter miles from Denmark Friday morning. The negro was armed with a Winchester rifle and was partly drunk, said the officer. The negro made no effort to resist arrest. While there was a great deal of | excitement because of the shooting, said Mr. Hutto, there was no effort at violence toward the prisoner, but he thought it wise to take the negro to Columbia. Mr. Hutto. who has been chief of police at Denmark off and on for the past fifteen years, was an eye-witness of the shooting affray. According to his version a gang of telephone workers were stringing wires at Denmark when one of the negro laborers. George Stevens, raided the watermelon patch of Agent Brown, another negro, who pursued Stevens until they came up to the white telephone workers, who pro^ Dmau'W than tecteu Stevens, u is sum. ummi w.v.. took the matter to the magistrate's court and Stevens was acquitted. Carroll Mobley, a white man. being the chief witness for the defendent. When the party got outside of the magistrate's court on the street, said Mr. Hutto. some words, in his opinion. passed and the shooting began. He stated that Agent Brown commenced firing at Mr. Mobley with an automatic revolver, which held nine steel-coated bullets. Two shots entered the chest of Mr. Mobley, one on the right anu the other on the left, just below the heart. He then turned and ran down the street, getting behind an automobile and opened fire on Brown, killing him. Brown shot Henry M. Ray. a young white man. aged 22,son of magistrate Ray, through the back of the neck, para lyzmg him. In the melee following the firing of the first shots a negro man from Marietta, Ga.. who was a witness in the trial and who did not participate in the affray, was killed. Ozell Anderson, the brother-in-law of Brown, who was with the latter at the time of the affray, is said to have shot J. Ralph Thompson, a white man, aged 25, employee of the telephone company, through the arm, shattering the bone. Thompson is a hospital. - -? - ??o THE APPERSOXS ARE COMING. o " "Bunk" is Back. Wilmington Bradley, familiarly known about town as "Bunk", has returned to his old job in The County Record office. About 21 years ago Mr. C. W.Wolfe, then editor of the paper, employed him as roller boy and errand runner and to do such chores about the office as he could. ne provea 10 oe aiways interested in his work and did it well. He was dependable and always on the job, and later became the pressman of the office, and for several years pulled the olc! Washington hand press with the . skill and efficiency of a Franklin. In later years he has had charge of the big cylinder and job presses which supplanted the old hard and foot powe>- machines, at the sametime, acquiring a knowledge of the plants gasoline or kerosene engine that enabled him to get the best of service out of these usually vexatious mechanisms. So, for 20 years Dunk remained on his job. unmolested, and was regarded as a permanent fixture of the T^Cor.i plant when, all on account of the hellishness of a race of ofheny.se gieat ptcjle. he was drafted Into the military service of his country. S'?on after "leaving Kingstree he was sent overseas as a member of an Engineering unit, and for ten months was engaged with his unit in road work in France. Last Tuesday he returned to Kir.gstree and on Thursday ' 11 ?1- I?% TUA I took up nuf oiu woi'R. in X 11C AkVVVi v. | | shop, and we find him the same faithful, efficient, dependable, quiet man- | nerly old black faced boy that he was before he was called to help whip the huns. We are glad to have him back. THE APPERSOXS ARE COMING.' o Nominations Confirmed The United States Senate on Tues- J day confirmed the nominations of Judge H. H.
