For the alleged murder of woman
in Blackville, S. c., last September,
Jim Walker, alias Charley Burney.
was arrested by PatrOlman Harper
here yesterday. Since a few days after
the murder Walker has been living in
Savannah. He was caught at his home
on Montgomery street, an excursionist
from Blackville having told the officer
of the murder.
The murder, according to Deputy
Sheriff H. P. Dyches, who came for
Walker last night and carried him
back to Blackville, was one of the most
cowardly ever perpetrated in that sec
ton. Minnie Williams, the woman kill
ed, was the paramour of Walker. He
became jealous and shot her down on
the street, after having searched for
her with a rifle for some time.
The woman was standing at a street
corner talking to a man, the deputy
sheriff says, and Walker walked right
up to her before firing. The muzzle
of the rife was so close to the woman
that the powder burned her clothing.
The bullet entered her breast and she
died at once.
Walker made his escape. He says
he came to Savannah a few weeks aft
erwards. He admits killing the wom-
an, but claims he was shooting at the

ion. and that the man cursed him and
attempted to draw a pistol on him

to kill her."
Walker says ne does not know who
the man was with the woman. He
says the woman was nothing to him.
He admits that they were formerly in
innate, but claims they had broken off
some time before. He offers no very
satisfactory explanation as TO why the
man with the woman should have
wanted to shoot him.
1t is thought here that there is a
reward for Walker. The deputy sher-
iff said he knew nothing about paying
the reward.

Extensive Grading VIII Also BE
Done, Improving Appearance of
Fort.
Besides the extensive building opera
tons which are now under way at
Fort Screven. the government reserva-
ton at Tybee is to be greatly i'm
proved in other ways. Much grading
is being planned and two and half
miles of gravel drives are to be built
as soon as the new buildings are com
pleted.
All the buildings and the station will
be connected by drivew.ays. Every
point on the reservation that it is
necessary to reach often will have a
driveway built to it. When these roads
are built and the grading that is now
being planned is done, the government
reservation will be greatly improved in
appearance, to say nothing of the con-
Yenience of the rOadways.
The low ground about the station
at the fort is to be filled in. This work
is being staked off now, though the
contract has not yet been let. The
grounds about the new officers quar-
tiers that are being erected, will be
raised to a level Of the grounds about
the old quarters. The five new houses

end. The marsh on this land will be
filled in. 1t will be raised almost to

work is now being planned, and q
contract for doing the work will be
advertised for 1t will probably not
be done, however, until next year.
T. c. Dickson, who has the contract
for most of the houses that are being
built at the fort, was in the city yes
terday. He says work on the build
ings is progressing rapidly. OF the
eight buildings that he is putting up
the brick work of all but one has been
finished. Work on the frames of the
houses will be started this morning
Under the contract all of the build
ings will have to be completed by
Jan. Is. Mr.. Dickson says unless there
is some unforeseen delay all of his
buildings will be finished before the
expiration of the contract time.

THE VOICE OF GOD
SPEAKING TO MAN
God Speaks Through His Revealed
Word and the Happenings of Life.

At the Methodist tent service last
night, Rev. ]. A. Smith, reading from
Proverbs; 1, 1925. preached on the
Gods ways of manifesting His will to
man. In all the relations and expe-
riences of life man can. if he WILL hear
Gods voice speaking to him. In part,
Rev. Mr.. Smith said:
Has God a voice. Does He speak
to man? Is His language easily I'M
derstood? These are questions of eter-
nal Importance. From the teaching of
His word, from experience and from
observation no room for doubt along
this line is left Not to realize these
truths is for man not to see. hear or
feel. So simple are His truths re-
speeding mans condition, the power of
sin, the inevitable consequences there
of, the way of escape, and the eter-
nal blessedness thereof, that man need
not err therein.
That the breaking of certain laws
entails certain penalties is as unchang-
ing as the laws of the Modes and
Persians. Hence, thousands in the
sight of God become moral and spirit
ual suicides. This has ever been true
about individuals, communities and
nations. History sacred and pro-
fame abounds with solemn and
fearful facts to prove this
assertion. We would do violence to
one of the greatest attributes of God
were we even to attempt to trace many
of the sad, fearful experiences of this
life to the giver of every good and
perfect gift Cause and effect explain
many things. Many things happen,
heart-rending in their nature, which
i'm the end are made to praise Him
The voice of God is everywhere heard.
Some one has said: The whole earth
and sky are vocal with the voice of
God Common sense, universal ex-
perience, and the law of Justice writ
ten on the heart. as we'll as the law
of God testify against evil of every
kind, warns man of its ultimate con-
sequences. What soever a man, SOW
eth. that shall he also reap Sow
to the wind and reap the whirlwind,
are truths that the most skeptical, as
we'll as the most depraved. must ac-
cept If their heart and brain be cap

HUSSARS CLUB CASH
DRAWER ROBBED
Telephone Message Fooled Assistant
superintendent Away.


Superintendent Away.
While w. r. Mcconnell, the assist
ant superintendent of the Hussars
Club, was being sent on what is
thought to have been a fake errand,
the cash drawer of the club was robbed
of all the bills it contained, about $35
or $4O late Saturday night. Detectives
have been put on the case, but so far
not single clue to the identity of the
thief has been obtained.
The plan to rob the drawer was
worked rather skillfully and evidently
by those familiar with the club. 1t
was a little after IL o'clock that one of
the walters called Mr.. Mcconnell to the
telephone. The man at the other end
asked if the superintendent was there.
Win told that he was not, the speaker
then said he was c. S. Connerat and
thought he had left a purse in one of
the rooms upstairs. The man asked
that Mr.. Mcconnell go up there and
look for it.
Don't send a waiter" the man said.
HE might find it and make out it was
not there. Go yourself. There are
checks amounting to $50 in the purse
and about $40 in money"
Mr.. Mcconnell Immediately went up
stairs and made thorough search.
No purse was found. When he returned
to his desk on the first floor, he started
to unlock the cash drawer and saw
that it had been tempered with. He
opened the drawer without unlocking
it. The upper portion of the case had
been pried up so that the lock did not
hold. Most of the money was missing,
a few dollars in silver had not been
touched.
The matter was at once reported to
members of the Executive Committee
and Detective Davis was called in. The
| waiter who had called Mr.. Mcconnell
to the phone was searched, but the
money was not found. There were a
number of club members in the rooms
adjoining the one where the desk was
located. The thief was a rather bold
| one, as there was every chance of some
one of the members seeing him. AS it
happened, though, none of them noticed
| any one go in the room.
1t is not know whether Mr.. Connerat
lost any purse or not, but it is not
| thought that he did. Mr.. Mcconnell
tried to find Mr.. Connerat yesterday,
but was unable to do So OF course, he
may have lost his purse and telephoned
about it, but it looked like a fake mes
sage from confederate of the thief.
