KILLED HIS Ba0TEER-IN-LAW.
Fatal Termination ola Family Feud
;D William Sbu~~


A special dispatch from Scranton
to The State says: S. W. James, a
prominent farmer of the High Hill
section. of Williamsburg County, was
killed Friday morning by L. c. M:ers,
his brother-in-law and wellknown
young planter. The shocking tragedy
was made known at Scranton on Fri
morning when Myers came to town
and stated that he was on mis- way to
Kingstree to employ counsel and sur
render himself to Sheriff Graham.
When seen by this correspondent,
Myers declined to discuss the affair,
saying he preferred to remain silent
until he could consult counsel. The
homicide was the elimination Of a
family feud which has existed for
several years. There was no eye wit
nesses to the killing. Ny information
is that Myers and James had d dispute
Thursday about dividing fence:
Myers forbade James to interfere with
the fence. Friday morning they met
and renewed the quarrel. James ad-
vanced on Myers with a fence rail.
Myers shot James and broke his arm,
causing him to drop the rail. James
continued to advance. and when in
reach Myers struck him stunning
blow on the head with his gun. break
ing the breech James fell. and
Myers beat his head violently with
the gun barrel. James head and face
was horribly mutilated. He lived only
a few hours. The parties are well con-
nected. and are prominent in this Sec
tion. The tragedy is deeply deplored.

crate congress, was one Of the speakers
at the annual meeting Of Lee camp
held at Richmond Va on January 10
Mr.. GOode took occasion to correct
what he conceiyeA TO be two errors in
recent contributions to the history OF
the civil war He stated that he had
II from the lips OF the Confederate
commissioners who went to Hampton
reads to confer with President Lincoln
that the only thing Lincoln would
agree TO was that the Confederates
should go home and take on their
uniforms, He denied. in emphatic
terms, that Lincoln had offered to pay
for the liberation OF the slaves.
Mr. Goode said that he wanted also
to correct an error in a recent contri-
button TO war history by Charles
Francis Adams Ia which he makes II
appear that General Lee favored sur
rendering his army before II reached
Appomattox, and that President Davis
was responsible for Lees plans not be
ing carried out Mr. Goode said ne was
sent for by President Davis and Cen
eral Lee for conference. General Lee
told OF the condition OF his army and
asked il the Virginia people would
stand another draft upon them for for
age and provisions Mr. Goode con
ferred with his associates. and the re-
suit was he informed General Lee. that
the last crust Of bread would be divid-

not word about surrenderlng.
This Information. given by Mr..
Goode. was regarded as so important
that the camp invited him to write IL

There's nothing new under the

the stage as well as everything else in
life. The stage is supposed 70 hold
a reproduction from life and that is
what is seen behind the foot lights at
every performance of TOO Rich To
Marry" the beautiful comedy by Ed
ward Owings Towne.
The very feature that has made
TOO Rich To Marry" so successful
sthat the author has simply trans
ferred, SO to speak, real character from
their every day life, 80 places on the
stage, so lifelike is the comedy The
author has taken for the foundation Of
his comedy, the life of the Dunkard,
She buildings their theories, and their
whims. He has not overdrawn on the
imagination, he has not burlesqued nor
ndiculed that peculiar people, but has
simply borrowed theirfoibles and their
notions, which may be new to many.
to furnish the good, wholesome humor
and pathos 10 be found in his delight

at the Brooks Opera House in the near
