Lancaster Negro Kills an
other at High Point, N. G.
Looks Like a Case of Self
Defense.

High Point special in Mon
days Charlotte Observer: This
morning at IL 80 O'Clock Chas.
Cyburn shot and killed Jim
Snides, both paroles colored. in
the "hullow" in the eastern part
OF the city. Five shots were fired
in rapid successin, one of them
penetrating the mouth and 90
ing through the brain, which
caused instant death.
In the dead mans right hand
was held a knife with a long
sharp blade and which Clyburn
claims, as we'll as eye witnesses,
that Snides was attempting to
use on him when the latter was
killed.
As soon as Clyburn emptied
the contents,of his pistol and saw
Snides fall to the ground he ran
up town, loading his pistol as
ne went and followed by crowd
of darkies. The officers who h ad
been notified of the shooting
were Fastening in the direction
when they met Clyburn near the
ca aboose, who Immediately sur
rendered himself to the off GERS.
on MS person was found a pis-
tol with all chambers loaded
and the one with which he did
the shooting. The negro was
much excited and claimed that
he was justified in killing of his
antagonist.
Clyburn has somewhat a re.
putaiion as a "shooter," having
shot two men in the past two
years. Not long ago he shot a
negro in Lancaster and served a
sentence for it, and later shot
his cousin in the leg at this place
for which he served three
months sentence on the county
roads.

The A. M. E.. Conference
Held in Lancaster--Some-
thing about this Branch of
Methodist Church.

The A. M. T.. Church confer
ence, which convened here last
wednesday, In ST. Paul church.
adjourned Sunday night. As

Methodist church:
The African Methodist is the
strongest branch of Method;sm
in this country and the gre attest
financial organization known
among negroes throughout the
world. 1t is really ga negro
church" They raise more money
for various purposes than any
other negro organization in the
world.
Their "dollar money" system
has worked successfully every
where. Every member of the
church throughout the connec
ton is required to bring up 81
annually for general expenses ;,
Other funds are brought up for
education, missions and so forth
They have about 13 bishops in
the United States. Each gets a
salary of $4,000 a year and
travelling expenses. Besides there
are several general officers. who
get from $1,000 upward annual
ly.
The A, M. K. church has sew
eral schools and colleges under I
its charge in every State in the
South ; but Allen university al
Columbia is among the most
notable.
The conferences, three in mum.
ber, in South Carolina raise
about $4,000 annually for ed

purposes besides they raise
large sums on Easter day and
what'they call Allen day, which
goes to Allen university.

Attorney Generals Opinion
as to Payment of Taxes in
Disputed Territory---Old
Story as to Original Sur
vey Retold.
The Columbia State.

Lancaster or in Kershaw county?
This question is worrying
the taxpayers and delegations
OF the respective counties. 1t
has been in the court and general
assembly and will probably come
up again at the coming session.
Not only is the town of Kershaw
effected, but a considerable por-
tlon of the surrounding territory
and thereby hangs an interest
ing story about counties, made
about $50 years ago. The story
is told by Capt. j. G.. Richards,
Jr., who is in the city.
1t seems that the surveyors
for the two counties had agreed
to run the line from point near
Bucklick, on the Wataree river,
straight across the country, which
would have given Kershaw a
much larger area. The party
In going through the country,
however, stopped about 25 miles
from BucklicK and went down
into kershaw to visit a tavern
Ihe entertainment received there
was OF such a pleasant nature
That they spent several days and
starting out again they forgot
to 90 back to the point where
they left off few days before
and ran the line down into Ker-
shaw county. There has been
Q dispute about the boundary
line ever since, especially since
the town of Kershaw was estab.
lished and part of it is in each
county.
At the session of the legisla-
ture in 1905 an act was passed
providing for a commission to
survey the county lines The
commission did not finish the
work, however, in the time pre-
scribed by law and no report
was made Of it. At the last ses-
sion another bill was introduced
and passed the house, but did
not reach the senate. The audi
tor of Aershaw county, however,
had a survey made and Capt.
Richards says that the entire
town Of Kershaw will be placed
In keishaw c"unty. A report
along this line will he made on
this survey at the coming session
of legisla: ure.
In the meantime there is con
siderable confusion as 70 the col :
lection OF taxes and the comp
troller general'has had a number
OF appeals to decide. The fol-
ling letter was sent out the other
day to Mr.. L. r. Fletcher, who
lives at Kershaw.
Dear Sir. Answering your
letter of Nov. 2S, relative to the
disputed county line between
the counties of Kershaw and
Lancaster, | beg to say i have
not given q decision as to what
county the taxpayer whose pro-
perty has been changed by the
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1906-12-12

different surveys should pay his
tax in However. wherever
taXpal er's property is in dispute,
| would advise that he continue
TO pay his taxes In the county as
heretofore, until this matter is
legally determined by the courts.
But In case a taxpayer of Ker-
shaw county elects to pay his
taxes otherwise than above adj
vised, he would not be required
to pay second time, but when
the line is finally determined a
settlement tor the taxes can be
made between the county officials
of the two counties.
Yours very truly,

From this it can be seen that
the entire survey will probably
have to be made again for a final
settlement.

AMERICA SAYS "NO."
Reds Will Not Be Admitted. Or
discovered Here Will Be
DepOrted.

Whether, if England and the Cont
mental powers combine to deprive anar-
chists of any asylum abroad, they
might find one in this country, was an
swered with an emphatic mo" Ac-
cOrding to Assistant Commissioner of
immigration Joseph Murray, the pres
ent laws, if enforced, are entirely ade-
quate to keep anarchists out of this
country. 1t is arrested, however, that
closer watch can be kept on anarchists
already here than is the general inn
preston in Europe.
Dispatches from London suggested a
possible crusade against the anarchists
of England with the possibility that
such action might result in an anar-
chistic immigration to America. "Any
such immigration of anarchists could
be checked the minute we learned of
it, ;" said said Assistant Commissioner
Murray yesterday. THE present laws
are certainly effective enough to COM
pei the deportation of anarchists when
ever they land in this country. The
general impression that::thespossession
of sufficient money will entitle an an
archist to come into the United States
is wrong.
No alien is admitted if it appears
to the board of inquiry at Ellis Island
that he is liable to become a public
charge, to become an inmate of public
institutions, as an insane asylum or a
prison, or is undesirable generally.
An anarchist can, of course, be depor' =
e1 under this provision.
Moreover, the immigration laws
provide that any anarchist can be de-
ported solely because he is an anar-
chist."

Beginning at noon June 1, submarine
bells will sounded day and night from
five different lightships in the vicinity
of New York and Boston. Master of
vessels equipped with apparatus for
catching submarine signals have been
requested to fill in details of the con-
dltion under which signals are inter
cepted, giving the condition of the sea,
the state of the tide and winds and the
distance for the lightship signalling.
From this data the lighthouse board
expects to.compiIe important rules that
will reduce submarine signalling to an
exact science. AS auxiliary to the
wireless telegraph this underwater sys-
tenn Of communication will be of i'm

Rev. Philips Werner Return. with plomy.
fThe State, August 10 ]


After being gone 18 months and
having many hairbreadth adventures,
Rev. Phillips Werner, son of John S.
Werner, of this city, has returned to
America. His travels in Central
Africa have attracted the attention
of the entire scientific world and
many interesting relics and curios
have been brought back to give the
people of this country an idea of the
route covered. Mr.. Werner was ac-
oompanied by DR.. Starr, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who will con.
tribute series of papers in some of
the magazines on the adventures Of
the two.
Mr.. Werner, it will be recalled, left
New York over year ago, with a
band of pigmies which he had
brought to the st. Louis Exposition
and was accompanying back to their
country. After landing at the mouth
of the Congo river and travelling up
this stream several hundred miles to
the home of the pigmies, he pene-
trated the unknown country still
further, going up the Congo about
1000 miles and discovering many
facts heretofore unknown to explor-
ers. AS stated above, he was accom-
panied by Prof. Starr, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who has weight
averaging about 220 pounds. 1t was
impossible for Mr.. Starr to keep up
with the party and he had to drop in
the rear with his servants and let
Mr.. Werner push on to the interior.
Mr.. Werner, on his return, cap
tured pair of chimpanzees and a
serpent, known as "Cleopatra's asp"
These will be presented to the New
York Museum of Natural History
and on his return through the coun-
try he persuaded one of the little
people to come back to New York
with the party. 1t is agreed that
the little fellow will 60 back to Cen
trail Africa when he gets tired of
this country and its customs. In the
meantime he will be shown by the
museum authorities in New York as
one of the freaks of Africa.
Mr.. Werner has been visiting his
family at Brevard, N. c., and after
his return to New York to wind up
his business there he will come to
Columbia for few weeks. The
letter to his father stated that he
was in excellent health and that
the trip through the Torrid zone
had not hurt him at all. The
friends he had made with the tribes
aud the missionary work done had
opened the way for further work of
that kind in territory that hereto
fore has been hard to enter, and as a
result the various churches engaged
in religious work in Africa can now
send their missionaries TO the Congo
territory that Lapsley and others
tried in vain to open.
