MURDER IN ANSON
One Negro Killed by Two Others at a
Fourth Of July Celebration at Il
Church

The cOlOred people celebrated the
church, about 6 miles from Wadesboro,
in Gulledge township. The purpose OF
the celebration was to raise money TO
| repair the church and a big crowd VAS
present. There was more or less drink
ing on the grounds and ii was not a
matter of very much surprise that a
homicide took place.
John Fair, also known as John
| Niven, who lived with Steve Dargan
colOred, near the scene of the homi-
eide, came to town yesterday nor
ing and loaded up on whiskey and
then went to Pleasant Hill to help
celebrate. He arrived there about IL
o'clock and not long afterwards got
into a dispute with a boy. About his
time Tom and Will Little. who are
brothers, came up AND joined in the
controversy.
The Littles told Fair that he owed
them 10 cents for some wine they sold
him and for which he had not paid
them. Fair then commenced cursing
Will Little. and while his was going on
Tom Little slipped up behind Fair and
knocked him in the head with a base
ball bat which he had wrenched from
the hands of a boy, who was standing
near. Fair fell at the first lick. but
Tom Little struck him twice after he
was down, and Will Little jumped on
him n cut him in four places on
h back and hips.
Fairs head was crushed by the
blows from the bat and he died in
about two hours.
Soon after the homicide the Littles
left and, We learn. went TO the home
Of Mr.. ]. T. Teal. also Of Gulledge
township. where Tom was employed.
They remained on Mr.. Teals place
until they learned that Fair was dead,

THE NATIONS DUTY.

IL
Il take it for granted that our duty
to the so-called inferior races is not
discharged by merely feeding them in
times of famine or by contributing 70
their temporary support when some
calamity overtakes them. A much
greater assistance is rendered them
when they are led 10 a more elevated
plane of thought and activity by ideals
which stimulate them to self-develop-
ment. The Improvement of he people
themselves should be the paramount
object in all intercourse with the

tell the story of the dog that shut the

Never throw a dog into the water;
it frightens him and makes the poor
animal dread bath. Let the dog
wade at first: then by throwing sticks
and other objects a little farther out
each time, and commanding him to
fetch. the dog will not only learn to
swim after the object. but also learn
thoroughly TO enjoy the bath, and can
even be taught to dive and jump off
high places. There are dogs that will
jump from an elevation twelve feet
or more above the water. Always be
firm but kind. Teach your dog to have
confidence in you. and You may place
