THE METHODIST LAYMEN.
Resolution Passed Calling for. 1ore
Representation.

A meeting of the laymen of the
Methodist church of South Carolina
was held last Wednesday night at the
Y. M. C. A. hall, in Columbia there
being a large number present in re-
sponse to the call issued several days
before. After the meeting it was
given out by the secretary, MIR. W.
W. Watson of Batesburg, that the
following resolution had been passed:
"Resolved, That the chairman ap-
point one or more men as represen-
tatives to meet the presiding elder OF
each district, looking to the organi-
zation Of the laymen of the South
Carolina conference"
At the meeting Col. R. W. Simp-
son O.: Pendleton was elected chair
man and there was some discussion
on the object of the call. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the lay
members of the church should be
more generally represented at the an
nual conference and for that reason
the resolution referred to was passed.
The chairman will announce the ap-
pointment of the committees in a few
days and the entire matter will be
passed on at the next annual confer
ence which meets next month.

Darlington Citizen Roughly Handled.

DARLINGTON, October 30.-Tolly
Bozeman, white man living about
eight miles from Darlington, was
beaten nearly to death by two ne
groes this morning. The two ne
groes, whose names are Abraham
Cooper and Abraham Evans, were
employed to water the stock of Mr..
Bozeman. Failing in this last night,
they were told of it by Mr.. Boze-
mans son. They cursed the boy and
fired a pistol at him. The boy told
his father of it, and when called to
account this morning by Mr.. Boze-
man the negroes cursed him and
threatened to beat him. While in
the act of picking up a piece of
board from the ground the negroes
set upon Mr.. Bozeman, beating him
with boards, and crushing his skull.
He is not yet dead, but is pronounced
to be fatally hurt.
The negroes are in Jail at Darling
ton. Both are young negroes, nelth-
er being 20 years of age.

NEW COUNTY REPORT.
BranchviIFe Scheme Rejected and
Wagner Before Gov. Ansel.

WAGNER Before Gov. Ansel.
The commissioners appointed for
the survey of the proposed county of
Branchville made its report yester-
day to Gov. Ansel, finding that the
area was 338 square miles and that
the line of the proposed new county
was within seven miles of the court
house building at St. Georges in Dor
chester county. The returns showed
that the boundary lines were in vio-
lation of the constitutional require
ments and therefore the comission re-
ported that it was not necessary to
proceed with the investigation.
There is a proposition for another
county with Wagner as county seat,
to be formed out of parts of Aiken,
Orangeburg and Lexington. Yester-
day the following commissioners who
have had charge of the survey of the
lines met here:
Orangeburg, l. W: Bowman, Rus
sci Poole; D. K. CAN'T, R. B. Car
ter, Aiken; Lexington, W. O. Jack
son, Paul E. Hutto. There are three
large towns in this county; the towns
of Salley, Wagner and Perry.
The surveyors report that the area
is proper and the property is suf-
ficient and all is right but there is a
discussion as to whether the popula-
ton is to be based on actual count or
on the census of 1900.-The State.

A rlORAL QUESTION.
Masons Will Refuse to Receive Any
rlan Engaged In Selling Liquor.

By a vote of 43O to 72, the grand
lodge of Masons of Kentucky has
adopted an amendment to the con-
stitution of the order in that state
prohibiting entrance to the order of
any person engaged in the liquor
business. Any man who makes his
livelihood from the sale of liquor,
except persons employed in clerical
capacity at distilleries, who are not
actively engaged in selling the
product, are barred by the amend
1nent, so that the great distiller, as
we'll as the insignificant bartender,
is under the tongue of evil report
with the Masons of Kentucky.
This is only one of the many evi-
dences of the growth of prohibition
sentiment in the south, but it is a
particularly striking instance. The
Masonic order is the most liberal OF
all great fraternities. Its only re-
quirements of any man for member
ship are belief in a supreme being
and a good moral character. No
man is rejected because of his politi-
cal or religious opinions, nor is any
specific employment prescribed to
members of the order. When, there
fore, the Kentucky grand lodge out
laws from Masonry all those who
gain their support from the manu-
facture or sale of liquor, it defines
the business of selling or manufac-
turing liquor as an immoral employ
ment. Only on the ground of i'm
morality could traffic in liquor be
prescribed to the engagement of
Masons. There is, therefore, pecu-
liar force in the action of the Ken
lucky grand lodge, aside from the
fact that it is the recorded belief OF
a gathering of representative Ken.
tuckians, the home and spring OF
good whiskey, that no man should
manufacture or sell alcoholic liquors:
The liquor traffic is condemned
out of hand as an immoral practice,
not merely as a pursuit to be re-
stricted for economic or political rea-
sons.-Charleston Evening Post.

Election Ordered.

Gov. Ansel has issued an order for
an election for Calhoun county, with
St. Matthews as the county seat, to
beheld on December II. The territory
embraced in the proposed new coun-
ty takes in part of Lexington and
Orangeburg counties and there have
been several legal objections raised
to the election. However, Gov. An
sci decided last Thursday to order an
election after report of the survey
ors had been filed. The people in the
counties affected are taking much in
terest in the election and there will
probably be a very close contest.

r1OTHER SEES HER SON SLAIN.
Laurens Man Strikes His Brother Two
Fatal Blows.

LAURENs, Oct. 31-A most regret
table fraticide has occurred in this
county. Today at 10 o'clock Frank
Jerry died at his fathers home, neal
Madden's, as the result of two blows
on his head inflicted by his younger
brother, John C. Jerry, in fight be.
tween the two yesterday, afternoon
in the back yard at the home Of thei,
father, Joseph Jerry, well-to-dc
farmer. The fatal encounter was
witnessed by the aged mother and
Andrew Jerry, another brother.
According to Andrews statement
he and Frank were in the garden at
work when John Jerry rode up in the
yard and asked Frank to come out,
that he had a letter containing some
statements which he (John) wanted
explained. "
John then proceeded to read the
letter, whereupon Frank broke in
with the remark that the objection
able language was a lie, a fabrica-
ton concocted by John himself, and
started at his brother with hoe.
Andrew caught Frank and pre-
vented him from striking John.
Tearing himself away from Andrew,
Frank made at John again, when
John drew his pistol and struck his
brother two blows on the head knock
ing him down. John then mounted
his horse and rode off.
Recovering from the stunning
blows, Frank arose and followed
John, coming in the direction of the
city. A mile from home Frank was
found in a ditch by passerby,. and
was placed in a wagon and carried
back to his fathers. He was in a
weakened condition and lost con-
sciousness shortly after nightfall. A
doctor was summoned and the man
fingered until this morning.
The inquest was held late this at
ternoon and a verdict returned in
accordance with the above facts.
John Jerry, his brothers slayer, is
in the county Jail tonight, having
been arrested this afternoon at his
home, five miles below the city, by
the deputy sheriff.
When arrested he claimed that he
did not know that his brother was
dead. He stated to the correspon-
dent of the News and Courier to-
night that he greatly regretted the
affair, but he simply had to defend
himself and had no idea that it
would result so seriously.
He says the letter was not written
by Frank Jerry, but by a citizen of
this city. The letter was received
yesterday and purported to place in
John Jerry's possession some derog-
atory statement made by his brother.
He declined to say what the charac-
ter of the alleged statement was.
John Jerry is 80, and has wife
and one child. The dead man was
At, a widower, with two grown
children.

BARRIERS VISIT

We had been having a good many
visits from curiosity seekers who
came to look at our sheep ranch and
went away with disappointment de-
picted on their countenances and
lamb under each arm. 1t occurred to
us by punching up our stock it would
make a better showing. and with that
in view only did We venture to liber-
ate the horned creature that had been
confined to the poultry house. He came
out all at once. So did We. We had
just crawled out of the silo vat where
he left us and gone into the barn to
take look at our saccharined back
hair in the glass which We keep there
for the use Of our hired man. when
we saw a procession OF bandits COM
ing up the driveway headed by the
