A Terrible Homicide,

On last Monday afternoon at about sun
down, Mr.. Drury Snipes, all old man OF
about seventy years of age, while returning
home and walking upon the public road in
front of the residence of Col. L. NJ. Rucker,
was run over and almost instantly killed
by some horscman who was riding in full
run. Mr.. Willie Archer, two of Mr..
Snipes' little grandsons, and colored man,
were witnesses of the terrible tragedy, but
none of them knew the man who caused
the death. Mr.. Snipcs' head was badly
bruised in front, and the skull was broken
in the back so that he Immediately fell to
word. The unknown rider reined in his
horse and rode back to the place where
Mr.. Snipcs was lying, whereupon Mr.. Ar
cher said to him, "You have killed that
old man." and without saying word he
rode Off i'll lope. Coroner Herrick sum-
moncd jury and held an inquest, at which
the testimony of the witnesses were taken,
and from the evidence Mr.. Aaron c. San
ders, of the Fork, was sent for, but proved
an alibi so clearly and conclusively that he
was Immediately discharged. There is mt
present no clue to the person who commit
ted this deed, and from his secreting him
self from the knowledge of the public, sem
timent is strongly in favor Of ferreting the
matter out and vigorously prosecuting the
case. No doubt the rider had been drink
ing, and was inc1cusably reckless on this
OCCASION

Early History of prondaway Church.

Mr.. EDITOR: know it will be of interest
10 the Presbyterians and many Others scat
tered all over the County, to review with us
a portion of the early history of Broadway
| Presbyterian Church, and in order to pro.
woke discussion among those who may be
we'll informed, to the end that the Church
may obtain better history Of the primitive
churches Of this denomination, hereby
| make this proposition: that Broadway
Presbyterian Church is the first OF that de-
nomination founded in the upper division
of this State, or, as usually stated upper
South Carolina.
According to the testimony of the Rev.
Hugh Wilson, handed down to US by the
Rev. William Carlisle, now living at Ander-
son c. H.. and about 81 years of age, Broad
away Church was located in the year l7S7,
near Neal's Creek, seven miles southeast Of
Anderson C. H., by the Rev. Robert McLin
or Rev. Mr.. Gilliland. The first elders
were Rob't Telford, the grandfather of Rev.
VIM. Telford, of Florida, Capt. John War
mock, an officer in the Revolutionary War,
and Rob't Dowdle. Capt. Robt Willis was
Clerk of tie Church, and perhaps an elder.
The families constituting this Church at
first were the Warnocks, Erskines, Telfords,
Dobbinses, Thompsons, Todds, Browns, and
Others.
The Church was supplied from its organ
ization up to 1901 for the most part by Revs.
McLin and Gilliland. Rev. William H.
Barr, D. D., of Abbeville, served the Church
for sometime, after which the Church was
served by the Rev. Richard B. Cater up to
about 1916, and perhaps longer; ard from
1916 to 1929 by the Rev. Aaron Foster,
Anthony w. Ross and David Humphreys,
from 1929 to 1858 by the Rev. William
Carlisle, who preached his first sermon to
this Church on the first Sabbath in May,
1929.
This Church was removed to Bolton in
1852. Since 1858 the Church has had but
little supply, and for several years passed
none; and the question here arises, Will
Presbytery allow this common mother to
go down, or will she do something to resus
citate her? As Virginia is the mother of
States, so Broadway, in this section, is the
mother Of Churches. At this time she has
but mere handful Of members, but one
elder, Thomas Erskine, and he is about "A
years of age.
Will our Baptist brethren tell us whether
Meals Creek Church is not the oldest, or
nearly so, of that denomination in upper
South Carolina. This Church and Broada-
way were both located in the same neigh
borhood. Broadway Church was located
before the South Carolina Presbytery was
formed. NJ.

Examination of Public School Teachers.

The examination OF teachers for the pub
lie schools this year has been conducted by
the Board of County Examiners, and out
of some sixty applicants forty odd have
stood successful examination and received
certificates enabling them to teach first
grade schools. AS some persons may not
understand the principle upon which this
examination is conducted it may be well to
state that the County Examiners have
nothing to do with the questions nor the
values assigned to them. This is done by
the State Superintendent of Education, and
the same questions are sent 20 every County
i'll the State. To each of these questions
the State Superintendent assigns its value,
and all that the County Examiners have to
do is to see if the questions are answered
correctly. If the applicant answers more
than eight-tenths 1--WE believe it isl Of the
questions properly, he passes, but not other
wise. The present County Board has been
efficient and faithful, yet lenient, in the dis.
charge of their duties, and we take the lib
erty Of suggesting to any persons who have
not obtained certificates that they should not
be discouraged. BY procuring set of the
new text books and studying up they will
be able to succeed on the next examination.
