NEGRO KILLED NEAR THE CITY.
John Pitts Laid Low by Charley Lang
ston Saturday Night.

Charley Langston, colored, was lodged
in Jail Sunday afternoon, charged with
killing John Pitts, also colored, Satur-
day night. Langston lives on Mr.. W..
ID. Byrd's place five miles out and Pitts
lived with Mr.. w. F. Wright in the
same community. Mr.. Byrd brought
Langston in and delivered him to the
sheriff.
1t seems that Langston's wife was
the cause of the killing. She was alb
sent from home Saturday night, osten-
sibly at a neighbours house. Becoming
anxious about her return Langston
shortly after midnight proceeded to his
neighbors to find out what was de-
tanning his wife. Before reaching the
negro's house he came upon his wife
and Pitts at another negro's cabin.
Langston attempted to enter. when
Pitts rushed out on the piazza and
struck him with his pistol and then
shot at him, whereupon Langston drew
his pistol and fired upon Pitts three
times. Pitts ran off and his body was
found Sunday morning a few hundred
yards away.
Langston was released Monday on a
$500 bond fixed by Judge Watts at
Chambers here.

COUNTY ORGANIZER
WILL BE SELECTED.
County Cotton Association Endorses Pro.
prosition to Hold Remainder of the
Crop for Fifteen Cents.

The adjourned monthly meeting of the
Laurens County Cotton Association was
held in the court house Saturday, with
DR.. A. g. Fuller, president presiding
and with fairly good number of dele
gates from the various township asso-
Citations in attendance.
Interesting and instructive reports
were made to the association by Col. Js
ii. Wharton and MIR. r. V. Irby who at
tended the New Orleans Cotton Conyen
ton last month as delegates from the
Laurens organization. Col. Wharton
spoke of the loyalty of all the cotton
growing states with the exception of
Texas, in the great fight being waged
by the Southern Cotton Association. In
his opinion cotton would be bringing Is
cents today but for Texas action in
breaking faith.
Dr. Fuller told of the recent meeting
OF the county presidents in Columbia at
which it was agreed to endorse the ac-
ton of the New Orleans convention in
demanding ID cents for the balance of
the crop and its decision to ask the
farmers to reduce the acreage 25 per
cent. from year before last.
On motion of DR.. w. c. Irby the as
sociaton adopted resolution providing
for the employment of an organizer for
the county and on motion the president
appointed DR.. Irby, Judge O. G.. Thomp-
son and j. ID. Sullivan as a committee
to engage a suitable man for this work.
Judge Thompson offered resolution
which was adopted, endorsing the prop
osition Of the New Orleans conyent;o,>
to hold the remainder of the crop for Is
cents and commenting the action of
Harvie Jordan in requesting Director
North of the census department to fur,
nlsh certain statistics regarded as of
vital interest to the cotton producers,
The members were in quite talka-
tive mood Saturday and during the pro-
ceedings which lasted about two hours
talks were made by Judge THOMPSON
Messrs. j. H. Sloan, w. b. Fuller. DR.
lrby and others, in addition to those
already mentioned.

THE HOUSE FAVORS
THE MORGAN BILL.
State Dispensary May BE
Abolished.
LOCAL OPTION BILL.
Solicitors and Other Officers Salaries
Are Raised...Some Measures intro
duced by Laurens' Representatives.

The enactment of dispensary meas
ure by the General Assembly at its
present session is now thought to be
assured. BY vote of 63 to AZ the
House last Friday passed the Morgan
Bill after it had been debated for three
days and amended in some vital particu-
lars. Representatives Boyd, Irby and
Miller voted against the bill.
Mr.. T. B. Morgan of Greenville is
the author of the bill, which is local
option measure. The bill as passed by
the House provides for State prohibi-
tion. The State dispensary is to be
abolished. Charleston will have the OPP
portunity, under the provisions of the
bill, of voting on the question of high
license. Charleston has always desired
such law. Sohas Richland county, but
no provision was made in the bill on it's
first reading, allowing Richland this
privilege. Under the operation of the
local option measure the other counties
in the State can have dispensaries or
no dispensaries. Those counties with
out dispensaries, if they choose, can go
to work and vote in dispensaries. 1t
will be local option"
The first vote on the measure by the
House resulted in very safe majority
for the adoption of the bill and it is
claimed that the Senate will give it. a
majority of five or six votes. The House
will dispose of the bill and it will go to
the Senate this week. The legislative
session closes within two weeks, so the
fate Of this and other pending measures
will soon be known.
A bill has been passed providing for
uniform salary of S1,7OO for all the
solicitors of the State, effective first of
January 1907. Another important bill
passed provides for the establishment
of county courts in Richland and Aiken
counties.
LAURENs REPRESENTATIVES.
Among the bills introduced by the
Laurens delegation is one by Senator Nc
Gowan asking for the appointment of
cial affairs of Laurens. Another by Mr..
MCGOWAN provides for an increased
salary for the county supervisor. Mr..
Irby wants the state printing inves-
tigated and has introduced concurrent
resolution to that effect. Messrs. Boyd,
Miller and Irby voted against the COM
pulsory education measure which was
defeated in the House Wednesday by a
narrow majority.
