"Didn,t Know il was Loaded.

On Sunday afternoon one Thos. Mason,
a negro loafer, sat in the door of a house
occupied by a colored family by the name
Of Redden, near Taylor's Bridge, this
county. A colored child, about five years
old, daughter of woman now employed
as a waitress at Atlantic City, was playing
in the yard, having case knife in its
hand. This, Mason ordered her to bring
to him, declaring that if she did not obey
him at once he would shoot her. AS the
child approached he reached within the
door, secured shot gun, pointed it at
her, and pulled the trigger. The piece
was discharged, the whole load entering
the breast and neck of the girl and pro-
ducing instantaneous death. Mason claims
that the shooting was accidental, and that
he did not know the gun was loaded, hay
ing recently discharged it himself. An
inquest was held on Monday by Deputy
Coroner William W. Lyman, and the fol-
lowing curious verdict rendered: "The
said Mary Frances Draper came to her
death by gun-shot wound, in the hands
of Thomas Mason; he, the said Mason,
not knowing the gun was loaded, we be-
lieYe from the best testimony before us.

ENJOYABLE one.-At the cannery work Is
still active. Cans are being made, the en-

seasons work.-The carpenters are at
work on the annex to the phosphate mill,
and the work of manufacturing will begin
shortly. The prospect for the fall season
is very f1attering.- Harvesting has past
and threshing is now in order. We have
not yet learned anything in regard to the

are still going on and the general appear
ance of our town is being greatly beau
tified.-Many visitors are now the guests

great number of boarders they were re-
fused. Our town is growing quite popu-
lar as summer resort.-The telephone
