Revenne Informer Killed In Rabun.

Clayton, Ca, December 16.-News has
been received here of the recent killing
of James Thompson by Horace Brad
shaw, an alleged moonsbiner. The par
ticulars were related by Sheriff Richie,
who has just returned from the place
whore the tragedy occurred.
From Sheriff Ritchies account, he
was called to Cross Roads church, in the
western part of Rabun county, to arrest
Bradshaw.
The latter had been arrested by a
deputy United States marshal on the
charge of running an illicit. distilery.
Bradshaw was seated in conversatiO on
with three other persons when James
Thompson came up to the group and sat
down.
1t is asserted that Bradshaw, without
uttering word, drew his revolver and
fired three quick shots at Thompson,
two of which took effect. One bullet
entered the forehead and came out at the
back of the head, the other entering
Thompson's neck. Thompson died in :
stantly.
Bradshaw escaped, but large posse
was organized and scattered IL every
direction. 1t is believed that Bradshaw 8
capture Is but a matter of time, as every
avenue OF escape from the mountains,
into which he went, Is being closely
guarded.
The cause of the deed Is unknown, but
1T Is believed that Bradshaw thought
Thompson had reported him to the reve-
nue. officers for "blockadingo and sought
this method to retaliate.
A warrant charging Bradshaw with
murder was sworn out, but Bradshaw
had escaped before the sheriff arrived

The Lord viii Provide.

Walhalla, December 1S.-Editors Cou-
rier: I came to the Walhalla Circuit on
the 9th instant. l found no parsonage.
My members are all, or nearly all, in the
country, and no provision is made for a
preacher. l met Bro. A. =. Crisp, who
has been very helpful to mo in finding a
house and in opening doors and welcom-
ing me to his home. Hon. E. L. Hern-
don was also helpful in giving directions
and inquiring about places to let.
went out to one of my churches (Zion)
Sunday and found q right good congre-
cation, considering the very cold day.
My wife and mo. s" came on the 10th,
and here we are without single thing,
as the furniture that was shipped three
days before they left has not yet arrived.
But we find more than one kind brother
in Walhalla. Bro. Robt. Crisp opened
his door and heart and took two of No. 8,
Bro. Grahl has one, Bro. Lee has two.
and Bro. A. p. Crisp has my wife, myself
and the balance of No. Show many has
he in alp To-day (the 1Sth) we are still
without our household goods and on our
friends.
Bro. Deaton, a steward of Zion, told
me that they would not let us starve, and
started me off with nice pumpkin and
some corn for Maud. Bro. Clint White,
another steward from Zion, brought me
a nice load of straw for underbeds. Bro.
A. p. Crisp, steward from Double Springs,
started me off with some cash. So we
have no reason to fear. In some way or
other the Lord will provide.

people.
DR.. A. p. Montague conceived the idea
of such a building capable of accommo.

He canvassed the State and secured the
necessary money. The trustees and
faculty decided to call the building "the
Montague dormitory' in honor of the
mother of DR.. Montague, who aided and
encouraged her distinguished son in his
effort to secure the means for erecting
the dormitory.
The exercises were simple and impress.
sive. DIR. @. FL. Judson, dean of the
faculty, presided, the exercises being
held in Furman auditorium. Addresses
were delivered by DR.. D. w. Key, presi,
dent of the Baptist State Convention,
and by DR.. 2. T. Cody, pastor of the
First Baptist church.
The rooms of the dormitory are all
occupied and there is cheerful, home
like atmosphere about the building.
