columbia. S c.. March 1S.-This after
mon at 315 o'clock, just as the doors
# the Carolina National Bank had been
closed for the day, a pistol shot rang
oI- IN a rear bedroom in the bank, and
,rs officials ran back to the door of the
room TO find Alfred Burwen Summers, the
hanks bookkeeper. one of the most promi-
pent young men in the city, lying across
me bed dead with a bullet through his
heart
The young man was a member of one
Of The leading families Of the state. of the
highest integrity and character. and the
announcement of his tragic death created
wave Of excitement.
II was at first thought that he had com
rni-ted suicide but suicide was so improb-
able that an investigation was at once
commenced. The result shows that the
killing was fearful accident. The young
mans books were in perfect condition.
IT. was on the best terms with every

T. seems that every afternoon he has
been going out on his wheel for a jaunt
IN the country. He always took the pis-
t1 with him. and always broke it, to
see if it was loaded. He had already
rolled his wheel out, and had put his
trousers clamps on. 1t appears that when
he went to break the pistol he caught the
double action trigger instead of the guard
and sent the fatal bullet through the low
or lobe of his heart.
He was q years of age, and was a broth
e~ of Prof William St. Clair Summers,
now resident in Manchester, England.
He was perhaps the best Shakespearian
scholar in the state.

The Kid and the Shadow Meet in a
Ten Round Go at Memphis.

Ten Round Go at Memphis.
Memphis. Tenn. March 12-Charles. bet
ter known as kid" Mccoy. was tonight
awarded the decision in his ten-round
glove contest with Shadow Maber Of
Cincinnati. before the Pastime Athletic
Club. The arena Of the club was crowded
to its utmost capacity. Bob Lee. the
official referee Of the club oficiated. and
George Batter. the club time keeper was
accepted by both men. Mccoy weighed
upon entering the ring 1i6 and Maber 1I3
pounds -
The sympathy of the spectators was
with Mccoy, but the betting was rather
the other way, odds of to being given
on the Australian.
In the first round Maber started in to
lead the fight, Mccoy being on the de-
fensive.,. Before many exchanges had
been made Mccoy had shown he was the
better man. but at no time till the last
two rounds did he undertake to force the
fighting. Before the first round ended.
Mccoy had landed a half dozen times on
Mabers face, chest and wind, but Maber
had not once reached his opponent and it
was evident that barring the unforeseen,
Mccoy had the fight won.
In the second round Maber did not
eNlnce any lack OF commence, nut went
in as at first to rush matters. He soon
found, though. that he had no chance.
In the second round Maber fouled a cou-
pie of times and the referee warned him
that another repetition would lose him the
fight. Afterward Referee Lee expressed
the opinion that Maber tried purposely to
foul in order to have the fight decided
against himself.
In the last three rounds Maber was I'M
steady and was frequently on the floor.
In the eighth round Mccoy got first
blood on a left swing on the nose.
The decision was approved by the spec
tatOrs

there We're now more whites than Indians,
and with less religious opportunities as a
rule and to Florida, where there was now
great suffering, resulting from the severe
weather Of the past winter, and where the
report said II there was not prompt action
taken not only crops but souls would be
lost.
In his speech DR.. Hawthorne said he was
grieved to note a sentiment among some
churchmen, both north and south, who re-
gard the southern conference as a relic of
the past. 1t is no meuento of dead issues;
slavery is dead, together with the issues to
Which 1t gave rise, and the southern church
has never been a factor in keeping alive
those past facts. He drew bright picture
of the work of the conference in the past,
and said that it had a splendid future He
did not think that the time had come for
the union of the two conferences, and went
on at some length to speak of the color
question. He admitted that he could not
see at all into the future of this problem,
and declared that if the white people OF the
south do not save the negroes they will de-
stroy all around them with their natural
tendency to relapse into barbarism. I'VE
shall be driven to barbarous methods in
order to save ourselves" he went on, land
l would sooner see the whole southern do
minion sunk one hundred miles beneath
the waters of the gulf than before such
reign of barbarism should come upon us.
But he thought that the christianized negro
is very much like the christianized white
man, and can be made as good citizen.
In conclusion, DR.. Hawthorne said that the
home mission boards of both north and
south had agreed upon a plan of hearty CO.
operation for work among the southern
negroes. Other addresses were made by
Rev. B. H. Carroll of Texas and Alberto
Diaz of Cuba, and the convention ad-
journed.
During the afternoon yesterday about
four hundred Georgians, including all the
delegates to the convention from that state,
and their friends, went on an excursion to
Mount Vernon as the guests of Secretary
made most entertaining host. The River
Queen had been chartered for the occasion,
and the Georgians made a very happy
party, despite the rather chilly wind that
board by Drs. Hawthorne, Macdonald and
Gambrenn, to which Secretary Smith re-
sponded.
