DEATH BY ACCIDENT.
John Walker, Colored, Accidently Shot
by Rebt. Brunson, Col.

Saturday afternoon last Robt
Brunson and John Henry Walker,
colored residents of Gourdin's
were handling an ancient shot
gun of the muzzle-loading type,
when the piece was discharged
and John Walker was killed.
The Coroner and Sheriff Graham
went to Gourdins Monday and
looked into the matter. 1t ap-
pears that the men were trying
to put a cap on the old gun. The
hammer worked stiffiy and was
managed with difficulty. Walker
cooked the gun but could not get
the hammer down again. He
passed the gun to his compan-
ion Brunson who attempted to
let the hammer down. Brunson
let the hammer down with more
force than intended, and the
charge of shot entered the left
side of Walker who lived about
an hour after the wound, The
coroner and sheriff were con-
vinced that the death was due to
an accident, and no arrest was
made. Brunson made no effort
to escape.

SABBATH DISSERTATION,
A Citizen Deplores the Practice Of Do;
ing Business On Sunday.

Editor County Record
With your permission 1 will
use a small space in your valua:
! BILE paper for the purpose of
bringing to the attention of the
good people of Kingstree small
business enterprise that seems
to have very little regard for
the Sabbath day. What 1 refer
to is the Ice houses being kept
open and making sales of ice
and cold drinks during the Sab
bath day. It strikes me as be-
ing a desecration of the Sabbath
and should be stopped. Now,
who are to blame most the con-
sumer or the seller? Are they
not about equal? l took the
privilege of speaking to these
gentlemen and they say that if
their customers would excuse
them, that they would like to
close up and rest on Sunday.
To some extent I am in sympa-
thy with the gentlemen who
keep ice, knowing of the riv-
airy, and yet in the sight OF
God that is no excuse. Now, [
would suggest as a relief of the
situation, that the customers
buy their ice on Saturday nights.
While it would necesitate your
buying little more, yet it is
cheap and in cases where ice
has to be had on Sunday for
sickness the dealer may open a
little while early Sunday morn
ing. Now, Mr. Editor, it strikes
me that this matter can be easily
managed if the Christian people
will stop and think a little. The
practice of disregarding the
laws of the Sabbath is growing.
How is this to be. explained to
the boys and girls? Can we say
that the law of God has been
changed to suit the times? No,
we can't do that. Well then
what? We can only say it was
wrong, but we will take that
risk. What can we expect of
the next generation? And while.
discussing the violation of the
Sabbath will say that the bar.
Der shop has no more right to
open and do business onSunday
than any other enterprise.
A CITIZEN.

Gone to Florida.

Salter's has lost one of her
most distinguished and best
known citizens. Together with
his family he boarded the train
at Kingstree several days ago
and journeyed to the Gland OF
Flowers where he will make
his future home. For years he
has lived in the vicinity of our
neighboring town, and only re-
Gently has concluded that the
healh of that section is not good.
The citizen to whom we refer
is Thomas Davis, of the family
of Ham. 1t will be recalled that
Thomas was the star in recent
trial in the Williamsburg court.
It was charged that he was a
party to the death of one Sam
Nelson. The jury did not find
that he was guilty, but sundry
neighbors of the aforesaid Tom
thought that some other section
would suit him better, and it is
said, indicated their thoughts
to him in a way that could not
be misunderstood. So Tom has
gone and Salter's and Williams
burg have lost one of their best
known and most distinguis ed
rascals. 1t has been said that
Tom carried his entire family.
This should be amended by say.
ing that his eldest son, Henry
Davis, did not accompany the
family but went recently to
Colum bia to give the remainder
of his life to the service of the
State-A life sentence in the
Penitentiary.

is news to the people of this
county. If there are any weevils
in this county no word of them
has been received in Kingstree.
This is very serious matter to
get into the papers. If true it
should be looked after at once.
If not true it has a tendency to
work great injury to the county
in that it will prejudice out,
siders against Williamsburg real
estate. People who are contem,
plating the purchase of our lands
will be turned away. Where
