Congratulations

Mr.. John H. Cullom, editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain S Cough
Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years
ago when our first child was a baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain S Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such
a reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. 0 good
feature of this remedy is that it is not
disagreeable to take and our babies
really like it. Another is that it is
not dangerous, and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. Icong' atu
late you upon thesuccess of your rem

The banking capital now
emplo. ed in this State
amounts to more than fifty
millions of dollars. 1t was
not half that sum less than
ten years ago. This of itself
tells the story of the ;rapid
development of the State. 1t
is not only the money Of our
own people, but the accumu-
lations in small as we'll as
large sums, employed in a
greater variety of industry
than any other State can
boast, from railroading up to

crete representation Of the
multitudinous and diversi
fled activities of our popula-

MORRISCN'S BLOODY RE
CORD.
He Had Killed Negro and Two
White Mcn-Refused to Give
Up his Railroad Job.

An effort was made yesterday
TO find out something about nj W
rison's record hut little could he
learned beyond that he was &C
quilted of murder at the spring
term of Kershaw court and that
it was said that be had killed two
white men in North Carolina he
fore be came to Kershaw.
Morrison had for several years
been in charge of the Southern
railways pumping station about
two miles below the town of Ker-
shaw IN Kershaw county. 1t WAS
there, where he lived, that h,
killed the negro. After his &C
quittal it is said that a freight
train which stopped at the tank
was out of coal and The crew pros
ceeded to take on some of the coal
which was there for the use of
Morrison. lie told them TO let
the coal along and when they paid
no attention to him Morrison came
out with a Winchester rifle and
ordered them away. They report
ed the incident and Morrison was
discharged at once but he refused
to give up the place and no one,
k"owing his desperate character,
bad the hardjhoo to enforce the
orders of the company. Morrison
was still hot ling the Job when he
was killed
When he killed the negro last
yenr it was 10 days afterwards
that he was arrested.
So far n could he learned, there
was little or no reason for Morri-
sons grudye against young F.ovd
who is highly >pken of. 1t j..
said that Floy.i had never taken u
drink or used an oath, and he was
an unusually fine young man IN
every respect. 1t is pathetic that
he should die such Il merciIess
death at the hands of IL veritab'e
desperate.

long chances With jury iu
court.
Morrison recently boasted on
the streets of Kershaw that he
could commit any crime he chose
in South Carolina and get out of 1t
at Il trial.
Just before he was hung he
cursed bitterly one of the party
and told him, g you, l hope
to meet you in h. Morrison had
t threatened several others lives,
especially those of southern rail
way men who had anything to do
with having HIM reported, which
caused him to lose his job. Thelc
is no doubt in the minds OF many
that he would have killed two
more men, when they arrested
him, as he covered them with his
pistol which would not work, as
it hung in some way and would
not revolve.
Will Floyd's body was taken
charge Of by the woodmen of the
world camp at this place AMI
was today buried at Pleasan:
Hill cemetery
The down train today WAS crowd
eel when it reached here with
passengers to view the body of
Morrison.
Sheriff Hunter did his best to
find out the parties who did the
lyncbing.
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1904-10-05

M. Caskey summoned a jury thi'
morning at 9 o'crock and took
evidence in the Flovd case. The
verdict was that Will Floyd came
to his death from gunshct wounds
in the hands of John Il. Morrl-
son FROM malicious forethought,
according to the testimony.
Sheriff Hunter summoned 6
jnry for the coroner to hold an
inquest over the dead body OF
morrison. The only two witnesses
were Chief of Police Ernest Bate,
man and DR.. l.. 7. Gregory. Mr.
Bateman said that he was standing
at tho front door of the guard
house guarding his prisoners
while DR.. Gregory was IN conver
sation with prisoner, when sud
denly the electric lights went out
aud the darkness was intense; one
man rushed up and grabbed him
then two more grabbed him imme
diatsly and rushed him a short
distance whom others grabbed him
and held him securely in the dark
alloy, and demanded the keys but
he refused to surrender them.
Some one took them by force from
his pocket and in very short,
while the guard house was
unlocked snd the crowd hurriedIy
left with the prisoner.
DR.. Gregory's evidence corrob.
Grated that of Mr.. Bateman. He
said that the light went out so
suddenly and unexpectedly and
that the crowd shifted about so
noiselessly that he and the police.
man were taken utterly by sur
prise they were not expecting
. thing of that kind to occur as
it did and had decided tina. no
iynching would be attempted.
The freight train was running
into town on one side with the
sheriff while the prisoner was
being carried out at the other.
The jury decided TO hold the case
open subject to the coroner's call
in case they could secure any I'm.
developed evidence.
There is not man in five miles
Of the place that will allow the
body to be buried on his land
and the coroner had trouble to
find q place for the body, so
finally had to send it to the coun.
ty poorhouse grounds for inter
ment, as Morrison 8 wife refused
TO take it. But she sent up for
the money he had in his pocket
when found hung.
Eye witnesses said that Morri
son cursed Floyd bitterly and
shot him, Floyd threw up his
hands and while begging him not
to shoot turned to get away when
the second shot, that struck Floyd
in the back and caused death. i'm
nediately was fred; that Morrison
stepped up nearer and cursed him
again and would have shot him in
the head had not several men yell-
cd at him not to shoot any more.
AS has been said before, all the
officers from the governor down
did oil in human power to save
the wretched murderer's life. Had
Gov. Hayward himself been on
the scene the probability is tha,
it would have been impossible for
him to stay the hands of the citi.
zens who were wholly indignan,
and thought it time to take &c
