PARKERSBURG, w. Va, August %.
"A mysterious murder near Peewee,
Writ county, has aroused the people Of
that vicinity to a high state of excite
ment. One person is already dead and
a second is almost beyond hope of re-
covery, While the public is ignorant as
to the cause of the crime or the party
who committed it.
Samuel Shepard, a relative of the
Shepards who formerly lived in this
city, lives, or did live, with his wife
and stepson near Peewee Tuesday
evening he left his home and went to
his brothers, a few miles away. He
remained there one night and returned
to his home Wednesday evening. On
his return he discovered the son, a boy
of seven years, dead on the floor, and
his wife, beaten, cut, bruised and I'M
conscious, but still alive. He gave the
alarm and physicians were summoned
to do what they could for Mrs. Shep-
ard
The Boy Had Been Dead
about twenty-four hours when Mr..
Shepard discovered him. Death had
been caused by two blows in the head
with an ak. The skull was crushed
and the boy lay in a pool Of blood,
while the ak with which the crime had
been committed, was near by.
Mrs. Shepard, though alive, was I'M
conscious and so seriously injured that
she can probably not recover. Three
physicians are doing all in their power
for her, but they give almost no hope
for her recovery. She had evidently
been struck with the same ak used to
kill the boy. Her skull was crushed
and she was badly beaten and bruised.
Her death is expected at almost any
moment
No arrest has been made and so far
as heard no steps have been taken to
hold an inquest The burial clothes
for the boy were secured this after
noon, and he will probably be buried
tomorrow. While there
Is No Direct Evidence
against any one, the people of the
vicinity have certain party under
suspicion, but, unless Mrs. Shepard
should recover there will be only cir
,cumstantial evidence against him. The
people of the vicinity of Peewee are
very retieent about giving their opin-
ions, but one man seems to be pretty
generally suspected.

are all liquor dealers and justify the
business TO themselves and fall into a
dreadful moral decadence. And the
tendency is in that direction. Why,
friends, it ought to burn every man s
heart, it ought to stick knife into
the centre OF every mans self-respect,
the idea that you and tonight are
liquer dealers! That's what we are.
And man that will tamely sit down
under that and acquiesce in it and say
it is all right, that he likes the busi-
ness and it is very good business and
it brings very good profit, it saves
him taxes and he is satisfied with it
! and will stay in the business: the man
that does that Fas passed through the
very same process of moral decadence
.hat the barkecper does when he first
cmbarks in the deadly trade.
y prohibition law is the State say
ing to its citizens and teaching them
that the traffic in Intoxicating bever-
ages is wrong. 1t is the voice Of the
great State saying to its young men
that the business is bad and dishonor-
able and hurtful to your fellow M Il
and you cannot afford to go into it. 1t
is the State, the great State, pointing
the thoughts of its children upward
and directing their minds toward
larger and juster and more humane
conceptions Of their moral relations to
their fellew man.
The average life of people cannot
60 higher than its laws and we will
never lift the average life OF our State
above the moral degradation of the
liquor business and clean our hands of
it until we rise up in our might and in
our sense of responsibility to Almighty
God and to our fellew men, particu-
larly to our children, and say: We
will have none of it, We will not be
in the business! We @ill say to them
it is wrong, it is wrong. Yes, if the
evil men In our communities are so
numerous and SO powerful that they
shall tie our hands so that we cannot
enforce it, at any rate we will do this;
we will write it down in the statute
books that our boys as they grow up
may read it there, that it is the very
deliberate judgment Of the intelligence
and the conscience of the people of
South Carolina that the. liquor bust
ness is wrong and cannot be justified
economically or morally or any other
wise, and that much at any rate will
be gained.
don't want my boy to grow up to
be taught by the State that the liquor
business is good and honorable and
justi6able thing. And that is what
the State is now saying to every boy
that is growing up among us.

Boil this in unsalted water until very
