Shirer, near Orangeburg, Thursday, was brought to the city that night by Mr. Olin M. Dantzler, supervisor of Orangeburg county, who resides near the deceas? ed. It appears that Mr. Shirer was .superintending the digging of stumps and upon entering the field in which the work was being prosecuted had placed his gun against an old stump which ad been removed from the ground. In some unaccountable way the stump rolled over and discharged the gun. The entire load of shot pen? etrated his body and death resulted .almost instantly. Mr. Shirer was a brother of Mr. J. D. Shirer, of this city. He leaves quite a family to mourn his sudden death. HANGED AS SHERMAN RAIDER. But Veteran Lived Forty-two Years After That Experience. John McGorgan, one of Sherman's raiders, died yesterday at his home in Paterson, N. J., at the age of 84. J Mr. McGrogan enlisted with the Thir? teenth New Jersey Volunteers, and continued to serve through nineteen battles and skirmishes until the regi? ment was mustered out in 1865. In Sherman's march to the sea he, with a foraging party of eight, was captured by guerrillas. The prisoners were hanged to trees and the guerril? las departed. A detachment of^the Union cavalry reached the spot a moment later. The men were cut down, but Mr. McGro? gan was the only oone who could be revived.

Smith, a mill operativa employed at Watts mills, located just north of the city, was shot and killed by his son, John 1 Smith, a youth 15 or 1G years old. j The shooting took place in the Smith ! cottage and was the result, so the boy . claims, of his father's attack on Mrs. j Smith. After beating his wife, it is alleged that Smith was in the act of shooting her when the boy told hjm not to shoot his mother. The gun snaped when young Smith picked up a cheap "single barrel gun and shot his father dead' in his tracks. The boy was committed to jail this morn? ing and the inquest will be held this afternoon. The Smiths came to Laurens from Tennessee about a year ago to work in the cotton mill. SENATOR ALGER DEAD. Death Due to Heart Disease*-He Was Once Secretary of War.

But Mor? monism is the outrage of ail the ism* I had somewhat to say recently, but j quite briefly, about this modern mon ; strosity, the modern Paganism. I am ! sorry it is so, but in that brief refer? ence to this imposture I stated that people of intelligence of the blood were being duped by it. To one well acquainted with its teachings and in? structed in the Bible this seems well nigh, if not, incredible, yet it does happen, as I have occasion to know, and in this way: There are people brought up apart from, yet not wholly, the church, who recognize the authority of the Bible, who have a smattering of its cardinal doctrines, but who know little or nothing of its text, whose acquaintance with the creeds of the various evangelical bodies is only nominal, going no fur th?r than the bare knowledge of their existence, who if asked to examine into the claims of one of these creeds for Bible support would refuse to do it on the plea that they know it al? ready. To such the examination would be too dry, wholly lacking of interest, but when Mormonism ap? peals, forthwith its enormity appeals to their curiosity and they who never before examined the old Book, forth? with become interested students to see if this or that text quoted in sup? port of their errors is in the Word. Of course, they flnd^ it and immedi? ately conclude that Mormonism is biblical enough. They have not swal? lowed the Bible, but it is remarkable with what avidity they have swallow? ed Mormonism. This is the case as clearly and as concisely as I can state it that makes me so sick. Another ism with imposing name is a set of holiness fanatics, covenan ters, teaching that the church is an institution of man. There are peo? ple who prof ess .holiness, highsouled, pure, the salt of the earth, but those of whom I now speak use the name as a cloak to their devilish practices. I. see little difference between them and the Mormon, because they teach free love. So their teachers lead about a sister, generally some other man's wife or widow. Verily, the religious professions and practices of some are enough to astonish the Dev? il. I have not written ignorantly, but what has come within the range of my knowledge, and could give names if necessary in support of it all. Hago od. Darlington, Jan. 16', 1907. Bishop W. W.
