Cooperating with the University in the presentation are Chicora College for Women, Columbia College and the city schools, both public and private. The first part of the pageant in the afternoon on the University campus will present a typical May Day scene on the outskirts of London in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Mingling with merrymakers in their ancient English^ sports will be the great queen and her retinue, the May Queen and her court, dignified representatives of the great trade guilds of London, Robin Hood and his Merry Men, and a small group of literary celebrities of the day among whom will be Shakespeare himself. These gaily costumed figures will form a background for the dramatic climax of the presentation; crowning of Shakespeare as the monarch of the realm of imagination by the symbolic figure of Fame. The night performance will be a masque, largely composed of famous scenes from Shakespeare's plays, and brought a mmax wun the appearance of the spirit of bringing: the tribute of the present day world to the feet of the Avon Hard. The audience from out of the city is expected to be large. Special rates will probably be offered by the railroads. The pageant is being directed j by Miss Sarah Spenser of Winthrop College, who was very successful In directing the Queen Elizabeth pageant in Winthrop two years ago. THOMAS TAYLOR IS HELD FOR MURDER. Coroner's Jury Finds That "W. H. McAbee Came to His Death by 1 -..Gunshot Wounds in Hands of Thomas Taylor." The coroner's jury which sat at the inquest over the body of W. Henry McAbee, who was shot in front of hi8 home Saturday night, returned a verdict to the effect that he came to his death by gunshot wounds in the hands of Thomas Taylor. According to the testimony, the shooting occurred in front of McAbee's home, on Duncan street, in the Spartan mills village, about 10:50 o'clock Saturday night. The men were seen together about 9 o'clock, and seemed to be on the best of terms. They left Bratton Hammett's store, but separated, Taylor going to his home and McAbee to the home of Mrs. Celia Fleming. Taylor later aoneared at tho Flpmimr am^rerftfested McAbee to pay a debt. l&M- Flaming ordered the men away And they left, going in the direction of McAbee's house, which is next door. Two young men?Cephus Strange and Allen Fine, of Spartan mills?were with Taylor. According to their testimony, they saw Taylor draw his pistol, when they were about five steps from the front steps of McAbee's house, and fire. They ran away, they said, when the first shot was fired, but heard four others. Three Shots Took Effect. When the body was examined, it was found that only three of the shots took effect, either of which, the attending physicians stated, would have been sufficient to have caused death. The pistol used was a .32 calibre police special, but owing to the close range at which it was used, the wounds appeared to have been from a much larger gun. Five witnesses were examined at the inquest, which was held in Floyd's undertaking establishment Sunday morning?Mrs. Celia Fleming, Sam McAbee, Cephus Strange, Allen Fine and Bratton Hammett. All agreed Viqt. Tavlor W?k unHor Hio of whiskey, but no evidence was introduced that McAbee was intoxicated. Taylor in County Jail. - Thomas Taylor was committed to the county jail immediately after the inquest. His attorneys, Wyche & Foster, announced yesterday that application for bail would be made in a' few days. The slain man was buried at Bethel church, near Boiling Springs, yesterday at 1 o'clock* The deceased is survived by a brother, Sam McAbee, and two sor.s, Will and Fred McAbee.? Spartanburg Herald.
