relationship until year ago and after 1t
was discovered an intense affection
sprang up between the two. The two
young people continued to see each other

Ramase killed Making Peace.

Columbia, July ia homicide was
committed near Clinton, Laurens county,
Thursday morning which startled Upper
Carolina. Matte Simpson is pretty
girl, 16 years old, living with her father,
Thomas Simpson. Across the roadway
lived John G.. Wham and his wife. Yes
terday note purporting to be from Miss
Coleman, sister-in-law of Wham. asking
Miss Simpson to pay her visit, as she
was alone, was handed the girl. Mrs.
Simpson first read the note and became
suspicious. She went with her daughter
to Wham's house lad found the man
there alone. Wham said he found the
not after his sister left and sent it over.
The Simpsons were not satisfied and
the girls father called at wbam's house,
who admitted that the note was designed
for an improper purpose and that Miss
Simpson has voluntarily met him four
times within year. The girls father
demanded fight to the death, but
Wham would not meet him.
Mrs. Wham last night went to see a
friend, L. w. Ramage, to get him to act
as peace-maker. In the meantime
Wham's house was surrounded by men
all night, who would have lynched him if
he had attempted to leave. This morn
ing at ts O'Clock Ramage and Reid Blakely,
friend, drove to Wham's house. Wham
greeted them pleasantly.
"John," said Ramage, "this is bad
affair you are in"
eyes," replied Wham, "and am will
ing to mako any acknowledgements that
are proper"
Ramage suggested that they all go to
simpsons, but Wham said he must wait
till his preacher came. They started into
Wham's house. when Blakely suggested
that Wham disarm. He ran into his
house, ordered Blakely out of the yard,
and while Ramage was talking to Mrs
Wham, shot him dead.
Then tho wife did some acting.
Standing on her piazza, she warned all
not to approach the houses ,as Wham would
commit more murder. The friends of
the dead man feared to go near the body
for nearly three hours. Even after the
sheriff came Mrs. Wham warned him
away. All this time the murderer was
fleeing for safety, the house being empty
when searched.
Wham ran out just after the shooting
without being observed. Bloodhounds
were sent from Columbia and put on the
track, but failed Armed men from all
over the county are in pursuit. Wham
bought the Simpson homestead several
years ago. He and the man he killed
are well known over that section. They
have large and influential connections.
About midnight Friday night Wham
came to town and surrendered to Sheriff
Duckett. His friends say that he did NOT
flee from justice, but to escape trouble
with the friends of the dead man.

More than one hundred people heard
the lectures of Misses Adams and Able,
in the Methodist church last Friday
evening and we believe we voice the
sentiment of every one in saying the
audience was greatly benefited and
strengthened in their duties to their
church and their country by hearing the
addresses of these young ladies on the
important subject of temperance. For
two hours these sweet.spirited young
ladies received rapt attention as they
spoke of temperance in all its purity and
nobleness. They are enthusiastic workers
and are in love with the work to which
they have been proyidentially called.
Ihey are State organizers of the w. g.
L. w., and on Saturday morning, after q
few brief explanatory remarks, they or
ganized a Union here. The meeting
was held in the Baptist church and was
conducted by Miss Adams. The follow
ing officers were elected. Mrs. c. E.
Anderson, president; Mrs. j. p. McDon-
aid, vice-president; Miss Emma Bibb,
secretary; Miss Cora Duffie, treasurer.
The meetings will be held on Fridays
after each second and fourth Sabbaths at
40 p. m. The first meeting will come
off at the home of the president, Mrs.
Anderson on next Friday afternoon at
the above hour. 1t is hoped that as
many ladies in town and the surround
ing community as can will unite with the
organization and lend helping hand i'm
the work of battling against the evils of
intoxicating drinks which defile the
body. Gentlemen can become honorary
members of the organization. Misses
Adams and Able went from here to
Pickens Saturday.
"Children's Day" exercises had to be
postponed last Sabbath from III a. m. TO
. p. M, as it was raining in the morning.
The order OF exercise as prepared by the
executive committee of foreign missions
of the Southern Presbyterian church was
carried out. The boys and girls of tho
primary and intermediate classes sang
and recited beautifully. At the close Of
the exercises the invited speaker, DR.. j.
Il. Wilkinson, delivered very interesting
address gathered by his stay in the for
eign field. Much OF his remarks were
illustrated and explained on maps, which
he procured in Chino. The collection,
including the childrens mite box con-
