JOSEPH p. MORTON KILLED
Z BY Accidental Discharge Of Shotgun
I'm His Own Hands.

Joseph p. Morton, 18 years of age,
a SON of Mr.. and Mrs. s.. M. Morton !,
was accidentally. killed last Friday
afternoon about o'clock, near his
fathers home, about two and half
miles west of Walhalla.
About IL o'clock Friday morning
young Morton left his home, carry
ing with him an axe and single
barrel breech loading shotgun. He
had started to the woods for the
purpose of clearing land and took
his gun with him in the hope of
securing some game while out He
was only about one-fourth of mile
away from home when the accident
resulting In his immediate death oc-
Cured. His body was found near a
log, and 1t is supposed that while
standing on this the gun slipped and
was in some way, through accident,
discharged. The load of shot took
effect in the unfortunate young
mans head, tearing away almost the
entire top. He was on his way back
home when the accident occurred, 1t
is supposed, 4 or 6 o'clock In the
afternoon. S.
After waiting anxiously for young
Morton to return. his parents late in
the evening became alarmed, and a
p i
was not, however, until / o'clock
Saturday morning that the body was
found. There were about fifty peo-
pie in the party of searchers.
Young Morton was member Of
Rocky Knoll Baptist, church, from
which the funeral services were con-
Quoted Monday morning at IL
O'Clock By the pastor, Rev. l.. M.
LYDIA, after which the body was in
tered at the Neville cemetery.
The deceased leaves his father
and mother, five brothers and four
sisters, besides a host of other rela-
tives and friends, to mourn his un-
timely death. The bereaved rela-
tives have the sympathy Of many in
their sorrow.
The funeral services were attended
by the largest crowd ever assembled
at Rocky Knoll the church being un-
able to, hold the large number who
came to pay the last tribute to the
deceased.

STILL ANOTHER CHARGE.
Farmers (?) Bank of Seneca Wires
Sheriff to Hold Richardson.
(Greenyilie News. }


Lexington, Dec. Sit seems now
that s. l.. Richardson, the white man
who has been In Jail here for the last
two weeks upon various charges of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, worked" more banks besides
the Citizens Bank of Batesburg and
tie Carolina National Bank of Coz
lumbia.
Sheriff Corley has received tele-
gram from the Farmers Bank of Sem
eca requesting him to hold Richard
son. 1t is not known upon what
charge the Seneca bank wants Rich
ardson held. but 1t Is presumed that
he used the same method as was used
IN the case os the other banks In OBJ
tanning money.
Richardson does not seem to be
seriously concerned about the charges
against him and apparently does not
appreciate the seriousness of the Of
fense. He spends his time reading
his Bible and the newspapers, and
Will not give out anything for pub
ltcation, although he will talk freely
about the case. His mind seems to
dwell on religion and he will talk
pleasantly about religious matters.
He says he intends to miss hell and
expects to right every wrong which
he has ever committed. 1t is said
that he receives large number Of
letters daily, but Of course their con-
tents are not divulged. Richardson
does not want to be removed from
the Lexington Jail, 1t is said, and 1t
Is his preference to remain here until
all of the charges against him have
been settled.
Richardson makes an ideal nris-
oner, but he does not like the idea of
being with the other prisoners in
jail. Up to few days ago he was
the only prisoner in Jail, but he has
two companions now, one a negro,
the other white man. 1t is said
that he positively refused to eat any
thing last Sunday, although it was
repeatedly offered to him. But he
was anxious for breakfast time to
come on Monday, and was up bright
and early.
He seems to be in the best Of
health, and is holding his own re-
markably we'll for a man who is
charged with so many crimes Of such
serious nature.

A. l.. McKesson this week bought the gasoline holster at the P. K. mine, Stockton Hill, and removed it to his Holy Moses mine, south of Kingman. He will at once begin sinking the shaft on that property to the lO0 foot level, at which level drifts will be run off on the vein. He expects to strike strong flow of water in this shaft and will use it in milling the ores from the mine. At the present level, (65 feet) he has one of the ricn. est bodies of ore ever opened up in this part of the county. The vein has widened out to five feet of solid ore, running better than 25$ to the ton in gold. The mill, which is run one hour daily, while the water is pumped from the shaft, pays all expenses and leaves a net profit to the owner above opera tion.

Story telling and jesting have al

first we owe the Arabian Nights"
and to the second the clowns. who
were formerly the appendage OF all
great houses. In Russia the paid
joker still fourishes, and the people
pay so much an hour to listen to his
jokes and witticisms. He provides
himself with two or three hundred
tickets, and. mounting sort of ros-
trum, he announces that he IS going
TO regale his audience with choice It'd
bits Of mirth provoking lore. He be-
gins selling tickets at a penny each
and when he has sold enough tdswar-
rant his beginning he turns himself
loose. and the audience remains spell
bound by his humorous stories for an
hour or two. A recent traveller who
saw number OF these jokers in st.

several times, and. although | could
not understand one word the joker
said. was sure from the way the au-
aience greeted his stories with roars
