Constable Newell Seriously Shot by an
Unknown Man.

Mccormick. s: c.. Dec. 9s.-State
Constable Z. II. Newell. while looking
for contrabtMd liquor last night, was
shot and sericusly wounded by q negro
on the up train from Augusta. He
and j. G. Helstein, his working part.
ner, came in on the train from Ander-
son, which reached hero about 10
o'clock, and remained up, as is their
ta, which reached here at midniRht.
Mr.. Newell took one aide of the train,
beginning at one end, and Mr.. Hol-
stein the other, beginning at the other
end, intending to meet in the middle.
Mr.. Newell, on arriving at an empty
coal car, about midway of the train,
espied two men who seemed about to
dismount. He waited until they reach
them had jug. he grappled with him,
wrenching the jug from his hands.
The negro immediately fred at him.
Mr.. Newell then pulled his pistol and
returned the fire, firing three times in
rapid succession. But being weaken
ed from shock and about to fall, he is
not certain that either Of his shots took
effect.
At any rate, there was no trace of
either OF the men after the shooting
was over, although it seems impossible
that he could have missed him at such
close range. A brakeman on the train
stated to Mr. Newell that it was his
opinion, a man living at Plum Branch,
inasnluch as he had reasons to believe
that he was on his train. Although he
had searched diligently for him several
times oince leaving Augusta. The
hence he could not get off there, and
the fact that he was in the act of leav-
ing the train here when tackled by the
constable, whould bear out that state
ment.
Mr.. Newell's wound. whilo not ne
eessarily fatal, is quite serious and
very painful, the bali having entered
little below the hip and to the right of
around the bone, and ont just below
the ,perineum. He is resting quietly
this morning.-Speciai 20 Augusta

Death of G. J. W. Breland.

The many readers of the Press and
Standard will doubtless be grieved to
know of the death of c. j. W. Breland,
native of Barnwell county, who has
lived in Colleton county, four and one
half miles west of Walterboro, since the
year 1854. After an illness of about five
months ne passed into rest Thursday,
May Is, at c. w. Breland's where he and
Mrs. Breland have made their home since
the 18th of February, their home being
burned at the time.
Mr.. Breland was born at Buford's Bridge
April %, 1918. About two years later
his father moved in sight of the Rivers
Bridge Memorial grounds. He professed
faith in Christ and was baptised when he
was fifteen years of age. Nearly ever
since his connection with the church he
served as deacon. He was devoted
Sundav-school worker. For about thirty
wears he superintended the Oak Grove
Sunday-school.
During a forest fire some years ago the
building was burned. He then showed
his sincerity and love for the school by
opening his residence to school, at which
place the Sunday-school continued unit
the new school building was erected
Three wears ago, as he had become very
aged. it was necessary for him to resign
Since this time he lived a very retired
life. His entire life seems to have made
a grand impression on the minds Of those
with whom he associated and his influence
will live in the hearts and lives of thOS'
for whom he toiled.
He volunteered and went to the Florids
war in 1886 with Captain Aliens com
panv. From this time until the secon(
wear of the war of Secession he was sec
0nd lieutenant in the militia. He Wa
then elected corporal, but ranked as ser
geant, in company of the 18th regiment
| Col. A. G. lizard being captain of company
At the battle of Drury's Bluff, Va, in 1864
he was painfully wounded and thereb,
disabled for the rest of the war.
Mr.. Breland was SO well known tha
it is unnecessary for me to write at an.
great len 9Th. 1t is known, too, that h
was one of the oldest men in the county

A few days previous to his death ne be
came very weak both physically and men
tally but even while in this half uncon

was intense, he never complained. hu
on the other hand the prayers which u
continued to make made deep and lastln

bedside and heard them-such prayers a
