Of the Killing.

LAKE CITY, October 6:-Last
Wednesday night, about II
o'clock, Dave Andrew Graham
shot and instantly killed Zed-
dick Stevens. Both are colored
and the tragedy occurred just in
the edge of town near Thomas
street. Without going into de-
tails that might prejudice the
case for or against the defend.
ant the bare facts of the killing
seem to be as follows:
Stevens went to Sarah Arm
strong's, where he was staying,
and after eating his supper
walked out of the house around
toward the chimney when a shot
rang out. Exactly what took
place only Graham knows.
Sarah Armstrong aid her daugh.
ter, Clara, went out and saw
Graham with his gun, while on
the ground lay Stevens dying
from a wound on the right side
of his face. Graham may have
told them it was he who had shot
Stevens. he made no effort to
escape, but went along, a crowd
with him, to the town marshal,
was locked up and is now in Jail.
Clara, who is mentioned above,
is Graham's wife. They separ.
ated some time ago and tits al
legged that Stevens intimacy
with Clara was largely response
BILE for the trouble. Graham is
an old man, some sixty or more,

THE DEATH RECORD.

On Sunday, October 2, 1904
at Z O'Clock a. m, at the no mt
of his sister, Mrs W H Kennedy
Junius Erwin Scott, eldest sor
of the late John E Scott, of this
county, breathed his last. M,
Scott, whose home was in Man
ming, had an attack of grip last
winter, which made such inroads
on his constitution that he neve,
fully recovered. He was taken
sick at his home some months
ago and becoming partially con.
valescent, it was thought that
a visit to his kinsfolk in Kings.
tree might prove beneficial: For
time he seemed to improve and
hopes were entertained for his
recovery; but some days ago he
was again stricken with a fever
and in his enfeebled condition
he failed to respond to medical
treatment and soon it was seen
that his case was hopeless.
The remains were conveyed to
Manning Sunday night, accom-
panied by the following: DR. A
D Epps, Olin Epps, G W Wolfe,
W I Tisdale, W A Carr, Hey
ward Scott, Theodore Heming.
way and j R Barrow; also the
two daughters of the deceased,
Mrs Maria Brown and Mrs Bes-
sic Blanding, and his sister, Mrs
] E Kennedy.
At Manning Monday morning
the body was met by a number
of relatives and friends and con-
veyed to the cemetery. The
funeral services were conducted
by Revs ] M Holiday and A
N Brunssn, the pastors of the
Presbyterian and the Methodist
churches, respectively.
MIR Scott was born in Will
liamsburg county in June, 1845,
and was therefore SO years old
at the time of his death. At the
breaking out of the war, though
but a boy of fifteen, he went to
the front as a member of Col
Blanding's regiment. Later on
he was transferred to the 18th
Regt. SCV and served until
taken prisoner, when for many
months he languished in the
Federal prison at Elmira, N. Y.
AS a soldier he served with con.
spicuous gallantry and was pre-
sented with a sword for bravery
ON the field of battle. After the
war he married Miss Fannie
Witherspoon of Clarendon and
to Manning. His wife
to whom he was tenderly de-
voted-died in 1885. He is sur.
vived by three daughters, Mrs
W E Brown, Mrs 1 I Bagnal and
Mrs Robert Blanding, all of
Clarendon county, also two bro
thers, DR. D c Scott of Kingstree
and T NJ Scott of Florida, and
two sisters, Mrs W H Kennedy
and Mrs T S Hemingway of
Kingstree, besides a number of
nieces and nephews, all of whom
we're deeply attached to him and
to whom his death is a source of
sorrow and bereavement.

beautifully rendered by the stu

introduced the first speaker, the
mayor of Greenwood, who vel.
conled the students and faculty
in behalf of the people of Green
wood. he spoke feelingly of
the founder of the institution
and the loss Greenwood had sus-
tanned in his death. Mayor
Parks was followed by Mr. c. A.
C. Waller, the man to whom we
owe these elegant buildings. H
paid the late president a grace
full tribute saying that this col
lege was a memorial to that
great and good man, whose in
fiuence is felt all over the State
and far beyond. Mr. Waller said
the people of Greenwood and
vicinity would join hearts and
hands with the faculty and stu
dents of this college in making
it the best in all the South. The
Hon. G W Sullivan of Williams

spoke at length of the past his

presented the new president, DR.

enthusiastic praise of the college
was gratifying to our students
and friends. He spoke of the

and closed by saying: "Where-
ever you find a graduate of the
Williamson Female College, you
find a woman who is we'll pre-

work and who carries a certain
empressment with her"
The morning exercises were

gracefully accepted the great
work intrusted to him, fully
realizing the responsibility at
tached to the place.
The evening exercises were
opened by a short talk from DR.
Waller of Wofford College. This
was followed by the dedication
sermon by Bishop Duncan. AS
usual, he was eloquent and
impressive. He spoke of the
great need of Christian educa-
ton and predicted a brilliant
future for the Lander Fe emale
College.

quietly talked in political circles here
today that Hon. John Stanbery is not
to have the backing Of the Blythe ma

tive next spring. in the event OF the
defeat of the biennial elections amend
ment. Your correspondent is informed
that Hon. +. NJ. Norris, the present

whom the opponents Of Governor Cum
minis are most likely to unite. Mr..
Stanbery is closely allied with the
Blythe interests and it is charged that
in case of senatorial vacancy he would
vote for Hon. j. w. Blythe for United
State senator. There is apparently II
determination on the part Of the Cum
Minis men of this county to defeat MI.
stanbery and be represented in the
legislature by an anti-Blythe man. The
friends of the governor profess a
readiness for Blythe and anti Blythe
contest. and substitution of Norris
for Stanbery will mean that the opposi-
ton realizes the urgent necessity OF
securing some one more popular IN the
city. and more capable organizer
than the present incumbent. The
throwing of Mr.. Stanbery for Mr.. Nor
ris will not mean that the latter Is n
any way more acceptable to the Cum
minis people that the former. but that
q Is n,,raly a political eXpedient.
Mr.. Norris is popular with a certain
element in the city, good organizer
and a shrewd and tireless fighter. The
an.i-Blythe faction refuse to state who
their candidate will be, but assert that
they have man who Is in every way
qualified and that has on more than
