DOUBLE SUICIDE IN CAMDEN.
President and Cashier Of the Bank
Both Shoot Themselves.

In Camden, s. c., last week Col E.
Miller Boykin shot and killed himself
about four o'clock in the afternoon, and
few hours later E. C. Zemp also took his
own life. Col. Boykin was president Of:
the Farmers and Merchants Bank, and
Mr.. Zemp was cashier Of the same instr
tuition.
Col. Boykin left his Office at the bank
about three o'clock in the afternoon, chat
ting pleasantly with several friends before
getting into his buggy to go home. After
reaching home he took his gun and went
out ostensibly to shoot hawk. He was
found shortly afterwards lying near u
fence, the gun leaning on the opposite
side. One barrel had been discharged,
the load taking effect in his chest and.
causing instantaneous death. A Jury Of;
inquest was Immediately formed, who're,
turned verdict that his death was caused
by the accidental discharge of his gun,
but later developments in regard to the
condition of the banks affairs make il;
appear as suicide. .ss g
The same evening E. G. Zemp, the CASH
ier, was found dead in his barn, he hay.
ing shot himself in the mouth with 81
pistol. He left home, saying he was go
ing to Mr.. Boykin's near by, but instesd
went to the barn and committed suicide.
Both men were very popular, and q gloon
was cast over the town by their tragie
deaths.
The next day the directors of the bank
Investigated its affairs and found th6
assets of the bank were fully enough to
meet all Of its obligations, but that loAne
could not be realized on at once. They
therefore made an assignment Of the pro
perty. It is thought that everything viii
be soon Strengthened out and the bank
continue business. ssss
1t is thought that worry over the aAafrs
of the bank caused the men to put an end
to themselves.

WOFFORD COLLEGE NOTES.
Annual to be Issued-Alumni Take
Interest In Their Alma Mater
Commencement Preparations.

WoFFoRD COLLEGE, SPARTANBURG,
Nov. 23.-The Wofford College Journal
for November was issued last week. The
literary department contains two poems,
three stories and two essays; this variety
of matter makes the number an interest
ing one. "The Spirit of Lawlessness," by
Mr. E. z. Hardin, Jr., of Batesburg, is
doubtless the best of the contributions.
"The Last of the Cherokees," poem by
Mr.. P. L. Smith, of Chester, is one deserv-
ing comment.
The response of the alumni to the call
made by the students for aid in getting
out an Annual, has been very gratifying.
Alumnus who took their diplomas here
years ago, are showing, BY giving in their
names as subscribers to the Annual, that
they have yet warm place in their
hearts for their alma mater.
Steps are being taken by the president
Of the college and the faculty, to make
the next commencement one which will
be an event in the history of the institu-
ton well worth remembering. The classes
are joining in with the faculty in this
movement. The Seniors intend estab-
fishing, in one part of the library, hand
some collection of books, all pertaining
to the life and work of Shakespeare. To
this they will contribute as long as they
may care to do So Over the COLLECTION will

words: "Class of 1904" The Junior
class has under consideration the erection
of fag-pole 30 feet in heighth, bearing
large United States flag ten by sixteen
feet. The pole will be based on a block
of granite about four feet in heighth. On
the block of granite the names OF the
members of the class will be cut. A COM
mittee has already been appointed to act
for the class If the move be successful,
the unveiling will take place next Com
mencement, accompanied by appropriate
ceremonies. Just what the two lower
classes will do in regard to this matter is
not yet known.
Mi. Charles Dennison Kellogg will lee
ture here tonight in the auditorium. This
lecture is highly recommended and that
there is a treat in store for the members
of the Lyceum is most probable.

habit of carrying his money home at

fact that money was needed to pay for

thought to exist, caused their arrest.
REWARD OFFERED.
Had the bloodhounds telegraphed for
Thursday night arrived, the murderers
might have been promptly caught, but for
some reason the efforts to procure them
failed.
City council held a special meeting
Friday morning, and offered a reward OF
5000 for the apprehension and conviction
of the murderer or murderers.
Early the same morning Mr.. 81. W.
Johnson carried around subscription
list, and in short time our citizens had
subscribed 5000 more for the same pur-
pose, thus showing the effect this awful
tragedy has had upon them.
Governor Hayward has likewise offered
reward of 5000, which makes $500 in
all. If the guilty parties can be caught
and punished, our people are determined
that this shall be done.
THE FUNERAL.
The body of Mr.. Warn was laid away
last Friday morning at eleven o'clock al
Pleasant Hill church, on the Ehrhard'
road, about twelve miles below here, in
the family plot in the cemetery there. by
the side of the children he has lost. Rev
N. W. Hook, pastor of the Methods,
church here. where Mr.. Vann held his
membership, and Rev. E. NJ. McKissiek
pastor at Pleasant Hill, conducted the SAD
services. The burial was largely attended
by friends and relatives of the family.
Mr.. Warn was about ffty-five years old
and leaves wife and five children three
girls and two boys, and to those so sud
denly and cruelty bereft, our people ex
tend sincere sympathy. he was born ir
the Ehrhardt section of this county, anc
married Miss Folk, daughter of Mr
Calvin Folk. He farmed and merchan:
dised in that section for some years, ano
then moved to Midway. From there he
came to Bamberg, about ten years ago.
He was one Of our most quiet, peace
able, and unpretentious citizens: He at
tended to his own business and let othe1
people alone. Honest and upright in al
his transactions, scrupulous in regard tc
his obligations, his example along this
line was worthy of emulation. It is moi
known yet what will be done with hls
stock of merchandise but it will no doubt
be disposed of, as his eldest son is toe
young to manage the business, although
he is bright boy and has been helping
his father in the store (outside OF schoo
hours) for some time.
Unfortunately Mr.. Warn did not believe
in life insurance, and consequently let'
none. While not wealthy man, he was
making more than living and was slow
ly accumulating property, which, had K
been spared to good old age, would have
made him financially easy in his lastel
days. As it is, however, he leaves nc
obligations, his home being paid for, ano
he had some other property as well.

GENERAL JOHN B, GORMAN is I'LL

New Orleans May 20.-The 18th an
nual reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans was opened in the great audi
torium at the fair grounds. Thousands
Of veteran soldiers, hundreds OF beau-
tiful women and on every hand pro-
fusion of futtering flags and waving
streamers were in evidence. There was
martial music without limit and en-
thusiasm unbounded. over the beauty
and success of the day there was but
single shadow, and that promises to
disappear shortly. This was the Ill
ness of General ]. B. Gordon, COM
mander-in-chief of the organization.
He was not well when he left his no.
tel for the auditorium, and had not
been in his usual health for several
days. Nothing but his grim fighting
spirit carried him through the day
without something akin to collapse
He was not able to attend the after
noon session at the auditorium, and
remained quietly in his room at the
hotel, receiving no visitors. His con-
dition Is in no manner serious, but III
is possible that he may not be able to-
preside at all the sessions.
When the hour for opening the con-
vention arrived the platform was
crowded with women and men whose
names are household words throughout
the south. General Gordons entrance
into the hall was an ovation. Cheer
after cheer rang through the building
as he came rapidly down the aisle.

knowledge the honor with repeated

General ]. p. Levert, commander Of

General Gordon then delivered his
