.IRBY AND AGNEW ON TRIAL
NEGROES TAKEN TO SPARTAN
BURG UNDER MILITARY GUARD.
One Charged with Attempted Crimi.
nal Assault, the Other With
Train Wrecking.

Spartanburg, November 10.-Dep-
uty Sheriff Becknell arrived in the
city this afternoon over the Charles
ton & Western Carolina railroad from
Columbia, bringing with him the ne
groes, John Irby and Clarence Ag-
new, both of whom are to be tried In
the special term of court which con-
venes tomorrow morning, Special
Judge Schumpert of Newberry pre-
siding.
They were guarded by the Trayn-
ham Guards of Laurens. The ne
groes were taken from the train at
Palmetto Roller mills just before it
reached the union station and were
escorted by the Traynham Guards to
the county Jail, where they were lock-
ed safely in.
Tonight the town is quiet. The
Laurens company and the Hampton
Guards are under arms at the arm
ory. The train was tagged at the
roller mills by Capt. s. J. Nichols
and Lieut. John T.. Rhett of the
Hampton Guards, who with Sheriff
John M. Nichols, had gone down to
meet the prisoners and pilot them
safely to the Jail.
The news of the coming of the ne
groes was kept very quiet, but never
theless good sized crowd gathered
about a rear entrance of the Jail
when they were brought in. There
was practically no demonstration Of
mob violence. A few in the crowd
threw taunting remarks at the pris-
oners as they marched along between
the ranks Of the soldiery, such as
"Oh, you train wrecker,' and, "you
rapist; if they don't break your necks
in the court, we'll break them out
here"
Court will be called tomorrow
morning at $3.50 o'clock, and Irby's
case will be tried first Irby is charg-
ed with having attempted criminal
assault upon the person Of Miss Leila
Dempsey, well known and very pop
ular young lady residing on Farley
avenue. Miss Dempsey was return
ing home from Saxon Mills, where
she was timekeeper, on the morning
of Saturday, the 10th of October.
AS she passed through a strip of
wooded land, a negro sprang from
the bushes and clutching her throat,
choked her into insensibility and then
dragged her from the path and treat
ed her in a most brutal manner.
The negro, John Irby, was caught
near the scene few minutes after
Miss Dempsey herself gave the alarm.
He was taken to the home of Miss
Dempsey on Farley avenue, and there,
in the presence of so or more, she
identified him as the man who as
saulted her in the wood.

The Cotton Market.

The cotton market has weakened
in the last few days, and to-day
"wednesday the price here was 81
to S.S5. The receipts for the past
week were only about five hundred
bales, making a total of $500 for
the season. This number is at least
one thousand bales more than was
received here for all of last season,
and it is thought the total receipts
at this market this season will be H.
600 or $4,000 bales.

METHODIST CONFERENCE
ANNUAL MEETING IN LAURENS
ON NOVEMBER 25.
Bishop Wilson Presides-About $50
Preachers and Lay Delegates
Will Attend.

The 123d session of the South Car
olina annual conference OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, will
be- held in Laurens, November 25,
Bishop Alpheus w. Wilson of Balti-
more presiding. This is the third Of
ficial visit of Bishop Wilson to the
South Carolina conference within the
last five years. Bishop Wilson is the
senior bishop Of Southern Metho-
dism; strong and forcible as a preach
ef, positive and conservative as a
presiding officer. He is thoroughly
familiar with the usages and labor OF
the church.
An annual conference occupies a
very prominent place in Methodism.
The whole years work focuses on this
annual meeting. Here the preachers
render their reports; here the char
acters of the preachers are examined
and passed upon in opeG conference;
here, the preachers receive their ap-
pointments for the coming year.
!. acre are at present 2S5 pastiral
charges in South Carolina with a
mr. mbership of 85,161. Entertain
ment will be provided for about 450
preachers and delegates. The Work
of the conference is accomplished
largely through committees and but
for this it would be impossible to ac-
complish the work in three or four
days.
There are eight new presiding elders,
who enter the bishops cabinet for
the first time. A great responsibility
rests upon the presiding elder, his
position is a critical and trying one,
he is really an assistant bishop.
There is nothing except the usual
routine to come before the conference
at this session. The election of dele
gates to the general conference will
take place at the next session. Last
year the conference met its assess
ment for missions in full for the first
time in its history. 1t is expected
that a similar -eport will be made
this year.

A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Startling Testimony Given by Miss
Mary Brown.

Laurens, November S.-The testi-
mony of Miss Mary Brown, the COM
panion of Thornwell Boyce and Wade
Cothran Pinson on the ride during
which young Boyce was fatally shot
by Pinson near Cross Hill, seems to
reveal another side of the affair, her
evidence going to show that the
shooting was at least due to criminal
carelessness on the part of Pinson.
Miss Brown was the only eyewitness
of the affair. The following was the
import of Miss Browns statement:
The young people had been to a
party and young Boyce asked Miss
Brown to allow him to accompany
her home, going in the buggy In
which Pinson and Boyce had gone
to the party. When about to leave
for home Pinson came up to the bug
gy and declared his intention OF 60
ing along in the same buggy; Miss
Brown objected then, because 1t ap-
peared that Pinson was under the
influence of whiskey. However, the
arrangement was satisfactorily made
and all three left together. All along
the road Pinson, Miss Brown declares
in her testimony, behaved in very
unseemly manner and was extremely
rough, against which she and Boyce
continually demonstrated. Finally
Pinson pulled out his pistol and said:
"I am going to shoot like hell. -
Both Miss Brown and Boyce tried to
deter him, even after he had shot
twice. Then, after shooting twice
out into the woods, Pinson held the
pistol up against his breast, pointed
toward the head of young Boyce, who
was sitting on his lap, and fired. The
shot blinded Miss Brown, she de-
clares, and for a time she did not
know what had happened, but in a
moment she saw Boyce drop the
lines, fall forward and out of the
buggy. Immediately she jumped out
of the buggy and ran to some others
who were a little ahead, and later
went on to the residence of Mrs.
Denney, where Boyce was later car
ried and where he died yesterday at
noon.
Further in the testimony Miss
Brown declares that Pinson came on
to Mrs. Denney's and called for her;
she went out to speak to him. He
addressed her thus; "Miss Mary, you
know I did not shoot Boyce. He shot
himself" To which she replied that
such was not the case, that Pinson
had shot Boyce.
Miss Brown stated that young
Boyce was not under the influence of
whiskey; if so, she could not detect
it, but that Pinson was drunk. Her
testimony was taken yesterday by
DR.. Peake, she being in bed, almost
prostrated. Yesterday, the 7th, was
young Thornwell Boyce's birthday,
he being % years Of age.
Young Pinson, with his father,
came to Laurens yesterday afternoon
to arrange for bail, which was grant
ed last night in the sum Of $4,000 by
Judge Memminger, who is here hold
ing civil court.
