HAD NOT wRoNGED KELLEY.


Further information in regard
to the shocking tragedy was brought
to the Town. He stated to a re-
porter of The State that the entire
town is IN gloom, and practically
ali work has ss.ss6bended and
stores closed. Both of thespSs.nc'-
pals in the awful affair were pep
lar in the town. 1t is said that
with his dying breath Creech de.
clared his innocence of any wrong
toward Kelley. The body of the
dead man was taken to Tennessee
last night by Mr.. J. B. Mclaughlin,
a lawyer OF that place.
Young Kelley is said to be a
man of quiet demeanor and we'll
educated, having attended the
grammar schools in Bath, England.
His father is also a man of re6ne-
ment, and was at one time the
champion e-icketer of England
The States informant says that
Kelley is one Of the commission to
adjust the debt between the county
of Lee and the old counties from
which it was made, and is men,
Der of the legislature. In this coz
neetion, however, it SHOULD be
stated that the member Of the leg
islature is B. F. Kelley, while the
dispatches declare that Spain Kel-
Icy killed Creech
The escape OF Mr.. Howard Sim
gleton is said to be remarkable, for
he received but one slight wound
in the hand. The horse which he
was driving was struck by six
buckshot and the buggy was rid
died. Kelley is yet fugitive from
the officers of the law, but many
people think that he will surrender
himself.
Mr.. W. D. Trantham, a leading
lawyer Of Camden, stated last night
that he knew Creech very well.
The latter was about 81 years OF
age, a splendid judge Of horses and
a man of pleasing personality.
In Camden, Creech was regarded
as man of blameless life. Mr..
Trantham at that time did not
know which Kelley had, done the
shooting.-Columbia State.

Terrible Tragedy on Pablic Highway IN
tho Country.
W. E. Cresch of Bishopville was
killed by Spain Kelley Of Lee
county on the evening of the 7th
instant, on the public highway
leading from Camden to Bishop
VILE, about ten miles from the for
mer place.
Its stated that Mr. creeeh was
returning from Camden, driving
buggy, Mr.. Howard Singleton be.
ing with him. While going up q
hill near the Lee county line they
met Mr.. Kelly in a two. horse bug.
gy driven by a negro boy. Kelly
! evidently did not recognize Creech
until he was nearly past him. As
soon as be did, however, he picked
up a pistol lying beside him and
fred three shots in rapid success
lon which entered Mr.. Creecb's
back. Mr.. singfet:,n got out of
the buggy and was followed by
Creech, whose horse took fright
and bolted, whereupon Mr.. Creech
ran up the road to a buggy driven
by Mr.. King, which was going tow
ards BishopviIle. ,.As Creech ran
up the road Kelly, who had in the
meantime gotten out, seized a
double-barreled breech-loader from
his buggy and aimed it at him, bat
Singleton stepped ia front of the
muzzle of the gun and Creech
reached the buggy in safety and
was driven off at a rapid pace.
Kelly attempted to follow them
with his team, but the pursued
had made such headway that he
realized hs could not overtake
them. He thereupon unhitched
one Of his horsee and jumping on
its back, armed with his breech>
leader, galloped after the buggy
overtaking it after it had passed
the Lee county line. Kelley fired
three more shots, killing Creech.
It is rumored that this act on
Mr.. Kelley's part was in conse-
ouence of an irremediable wrong
done by the dece' sed to a member
Of the formers family.
The latest report alleged that
the sheriff of Lee county was,
searching for Kelley.
Mr.. W. E. Creech, a North Caro-
liDian by birth, was a partner OF
the Bishopville branch Of Mr.. Geo.
T. Little's Camden livery stable.
For severa! years previous to his
departure for Bishopville the de-
ceased was employed by Mr.. Little
in Camden and here bore the rep
utation of being peaceful and
quiet citizen.

my two sisters and my wife ahead.
They passed by a ravine on the
way and there saw two men armed
with guns. Later they turned out
their lights and observed one man
take his station in front Of my
house and the other; both still
armed, and this time dressed as
women, below my window In an

enough so to call each q separate

creased value Of this, hen as soon
as she can be prevailed upon to pro-
vide these two eggs separately. Its
two to one she can outlay any hen

But she has not all the honors to
herself. She has an artistic friend
who insists on the decorative rather
than the utifitarian in the refined
art Of egg. bearing. The Cherokee
News devotes some space to the
product Of this friend:
"Last Saturday Mr.. R. S. Moore
of the Grover section sh ,wed US a
novel curiosity In the shape Ct an
egg. There was a picture of a hen
with a woman sitting on her back
on one side which was very plain,
and it is said to grow palmer all

is a picture of chicken which Is
not so plain.

to wash the picture off. but the
more they washed the palmer the
picture became"
