The mother was expecting guests for
the evening, and at 8 o'clock the youngest
son was told that it was bedtime. The
little fellow persisted in sitting up for the
occasion, pleading fear of the darkness.
His mother assured him there was moth

as the angels would be in the room to
guard him. Finally the youngster reluc-
tantly went to bed. An hour later a

him into insensibility at the new city hall
here June %, was convicted in superior
court today of assault with intent to MUIR
der, and sentenced by Judge Cam to
serve ten years in the penitentiary, the
limit allowed by law. When Judge Cam
asked the prisoner, after the verdict of
guilty had been read, if he had anything to
say, he answered: Nothing, only I
didn't strike him while he was on the
gronnd."
In sentencing the prisoner the court
said: "The evidence shows that it was
an absolutely unnecessary assault. II
shows, further, that you did strike him
after he was upon the ground, and it is q
meyciful thing that the boy was moi
killed by you. The court cannot see any
thing to mitigate this offence in any way
He feels it is his duty to the community
to impose a sentence of ten years in th'
penitentiary."
The evidence showed the negro strucl

WORKMAN FIRES UPON EMPLOYER.
E. G. BiIIinssley, Vice President Of Construc.
ton Company, Shot in Darlington by an
Employe.

s"F'SJS
DARLINGTON, July PA shooting oc-
Cured here today about 10 o'clock which
came near being a very serious and ugly
affair. The difficulty arose between E. G.
Billingsley, of St. Louis, and Joe Brock,
of Kentucky, and the result is that Bill
Kingsley has a serious and painful, but
not dangerous, wound, while Brock has
been lodged in Jail.
The warrant issued today was to the
effect that Brooks assaulted and shot Bill
Kingsley inficting dangerous and severe
wound and that Brock had disturbed the
peace of the town. Billingsley is the vice
president of the West Construction COM
pany, of Chattanooga, which has the con-
tract for constructing pavements in Oar.
lington. Brock is finishing smith who
has been working for the company. Bill
Kingsley is not the local superintendent OF
this Job but seems to be kind of general
supervisor and director of many like this
at Darlington. Billingsley was here today,
was inspecting the work and had occasion
to reprimand Brock as to the character OF
his work. At this Brock became infuri-
ated and warm words passed between the
two men. The superintendent of the
work states that Brock cursed Billingsley
and Billingsley threatened to discharge
Brock because of inferior work. Brock
took offense and quit and armed himself,
after which he sought to renew the troub-
lie. Billingsley asked him to be quiet and
20 to the hotel to talk it over and there
upon proceeded to 60 to the hotel. Brock
began firing and Billingsley ran through
the hotel and on into Floyd's restaurant
in the rear. Brock followed and fired
three times. Only one ball took effect
but this inflicted an ugly wound in Bill
lingsley's face. The doctors probed for
the ball but have not found it. The
wounded man is resting we'll and his con-
dition is not considered dangerous.
After the shooting Brock walked delib-
erately and bravely up the street, all the
while looking to either side and flourish
ing his pistol in his hand. He stopped IN
front of the court house and defed the
crowd which was gathered around.
Policeman Langston came up and tact
fully approached the enraged man by as
suring him of his protection. Mr.. Lang
ston was very cool and brave in the way
he acted and he has been highly praised
for the skillful management Of this case.
He arrested the man without any diff
Guilty but a less brave and composed off,
Ger would have caused much bloodshed.
Brock is in jail awaiting his trial.
It is said that Billingsley was unarmed.
