ANNIVERSARY
AT CLINTON.
The Event That Has Distinguished
Clinton for More Than 40 Years CeIe-
brated Again on Last Saturday.

CLINTON, May 18th. Clinton began
new year last Saturday More than
forty years ago STRIPPING young
preacher came to this place to labor in
the Masters vineyard. At that time
there was in this vineyard little else
than thorns and thistles and the task
would have seemed hopeless to any one
with less faith and determination.
One of the first labors of that young
School and chat School has Ssbhatb
conducted as to be always attractive to
the children of the town and in a great
many instances have the children of
parents who never went to church de-
veloped into the most active workers
in the Sunday School.
1t is a fact scarcely to be questioned
that the Clinton Presbyterian Sunday
School has been greater factor in the
redemption of that town than any
other cause.
The Clntonites have right to count
time by the anniversary.
One of the features of the day was
the laying of the corner stone of the
new Chapel at the Thornwell Orphan
age by DR.. j. j. Boozer, who is 80 be-
loved in our town. The address was
by Rev. JAS. H. Thornwell of Fort
Mill. This will be a very beautiful and
commodious building when finished.

DEAD NEGRO
in ENOREE.
Essec MurriI Shot and
Thrown Into the River.
CORONER'S INQUEST.
Killed on the Highway and Carried One
Mile on Hand Stick.-.Four
Foot Prints.

Oh last Friday evening while ,seininp
in Enoree river near Yarboroupb, g
mill, Mr.. Columbus Owings and some
other parties discovered dead body in
the river The body was partly sub
merged and apparently weighted. L,
was not ascertained whether it was
that of a white man or negro. The
coroner was notified and on Saturday
went upon the scene and organized a
jury of inquest. The body was found
to be that of Essec Murrill, negro
man about 40 years of age, who was
employed as farm hand by the Enoree
Manufacturing Company.
Murrill had not been seen since Fri
day week previous and Dick Leaman,
colored, testified at the inquest that he
had seen him at Enoree on that eve
ming and had said to him that it was a
good time to go down the country,
meaning to the plantation of Mr.. M. B.
Poole. The evidence at the inquest
showed that the negro had been shot
twice and that the killing took place on
the public road about three-fourths of
mile from the residence of Mr.. Poole
and one mile from where it was found
in the river. 1t further Indicated that
there were four tracks which lead from
the scene of the killing to where the
body was thrown into the river There
was also shown where a hand stick was
cut and used to carry the body and also
evidence of where the body had been
laid down, as if to rest the bearers. A
new rope had been placed around the
neck and large stone tied to either
end for the purpose of weighting the
body under the water. The jury of in
quest did not make report, but will
continue their investigation to a later
date.
1t is learned from some of the citi-
zens of that community that after Muir
ril's disappearance some of the negroes
expressed the belief that he had been
killed and thrown into Enoree river.
No Importance was attached to the
speech until after the body was found
when everybody seemed morally certain
that it was the body of Murril even be-
fore it was taken from the stream for
Identification.
The prevailing opinion Is that the
killing was done by persons of his own
race, but that some white man was
responsible for it,
Sheriff Duckett and Solicitor Cooper
both attended the inquest.
A popularity of Murril's anatomy
was that the autopsy showed that his
heart was on his right side,
Later: Pete Copeland, Sam Barks-
dale and Dick Leaman, three negroes,
have been arrested and are in the hands
of the Sheriff, charged with being i'm
plicated in the killing of Essec Murrill.
The Solicitor has not yet disclosed
the evidence on which he is holding the
prisoners.
1t is understood that Habeas Corpus
proceedings will be instituted
