THE SUNDAY scnooL woRKERs.
Twelfth International Convention will
Meet on June 1928.

Union, May 12.--The Sunday
lschool workers of South Carolina, who
a month ago had such a large and en-
thusiastic and helpful meeting and
convention in this city. are now turn
ing their attention to the twelfth in
ternational convention, which will
meet in Louisville, KY, on Jupe 1S
and remain in session until the 23d.
The International gathering of the
Sunday school workers promises to
be the largest and best yet held. On
the program are some of the best and
most distinguished men &C this and
other countries.
| Capt. ]. Adger Smythe, Jr, the
twide-awake chairman of the State
executive committee, in an interview
with the press representative, says:
South Carolina Is entitled to 90
delegates. These must be active Sun
day school workers o. pas.o::ss, and 7
am very anxious that this State shall
have her full quota at the Louisville
conventiop. 1t will mean much to
each individual delegate and Sunday
\ school, and to the work at large In
South Carolina
while the railroads have not yet
announced their rates, 1t will be in
the neighborhood of one and one-half
fare for the round trip, which will be
about $40 round trip from Union;
about $23 from Columbia, and about
$28 from Charleston. While in Louis
vile entertainment can be had on the
Harvard plan--that is, lodging and
breakfast will be furnished, and del
egates can get dinner and supper
wherever they please.
ALREADY we have few applica-
tions from delegates who wish to at
tend, but not for the full number. 1
am especially anxious that the Sum
day schools Of this State be repre-
sented by their most earnest, active
and interested workers, and it seems
that it would be good investment
for any school to offer to defray the
leading teacher, for in inspiration
and helpful methods that could be
secured and brought back the school
would be more than repaid.
Schools adopting this plan, or in
dividuals wishing to go as delegates,
lwill please make application to me
or to the general secretary, J. M.
Way, at the State Sunday school
headquarters, Pelzer. S. c., at the
earliest possible moment"

FIELD BARLEY TURNED TO OATS
Remarkable Freak of Nature on T..
w. McClure's Farm.
(Anderson Mail.)

7. w. Mcclure, a prosperous far
mer Of Rock Mills township, was in
the city recently, and was telling of
a remarkable farming experience he
has had.
hT. Mcclure had field planted in
barley last year. The field was new
ground, full of stumps, and he did
not attempt to cut the gra!u, and 1t
fell to the ground during the fall,
and this spring a new crop Of grain
came up. Mr.. Mcclure says it is
now heading out, and that it is oats
instead Of barley. He says that he
planted no oats, and that his field
was certainly in barley. last year, and
he cannot account for the transfor-
nation into oats his year.

TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Son Then Shot his Father, but Not
Serfonsly Wounding Him.
(Anderson Mail, 12th.) )

Henry Dorr, white man we'll
known about the city, is in jail charg-
ed with assault and battery with in.
tent to kill. There is also a warrant
for him for living unlawfully with a
woman named Brock. The warrant
charging him with assault and bat
terry alleges that he tried to kill his
wife.
Dorr Yves arrested yesterday morn
Ing on the warrant as to hio rotations
with the Brock woman, and he man
aged to give bond. The Brock wo-
man was arrested at the.same time
on two warrants, one charging her
with selling liquor.
After being released yesterday af-
ternoon Dorr went to his home In the
Cox Mill village and began raising a
rough house. 1t Is alleged that he
was mad at his family for swearing
out the warrant against him for his
relations with the Brock woman, and
that he tried to beat his wits. His
son, John Dorr, young man about
grown, interfered, and then, 1t is al
legged, the elder Dorr took after his
son with a knife.
Then things began to happen in
earnest. John Dorr ran into the
house and got a pistol and began pop
ping away. He fired twice at his
father, and both shots took effect.
One bullet plowed through the elder
DORIS arm, inflicting only flesh
wound, and the other struck him in
the hand. He is not seriously hurt.
The elder Dorr was promptly ar
rested and placed in jail. No war;
rant has been issued for the younger
Dorr, and 1t understood around the
court house to-day that there will not
be any.
Dorr and the Brock woman are
both in Jail, and it is thought they
will remain there until the Court of
Sessions convenes. ~

Homicide in Edgefield.

Edgefield, May 14.-Yesterday af-
ternoon Walter Weathers was shot
by Lee Tillman and died from the
effects of the wound this morning.
The parties are negroes.
The homicide occurred on the plan
tation of j. r. Strother, three miles
west Of here. The weapon used was
shotgun. The deceased, 1t is said,
had circulated the report that Lee
had attempted criminal assault
upon the little daughter of negro
by the name Of Limebecker, succeed
ing in working up considerable feel
ing against Tillman, causing him to
fear that he would be lynched.
Threats to that effect were made.
The deceased was at work in Stroth-
er's field and Lee appeared with q
shotgun and said that Weathers and
other negroes were trying to lynch
him. At this time the deceased made
cut him. The latter retreated and
threw up the gun and fired the load
which took effect in the right side.
Such was in substance the testimony
i$aken at the coroner's inquest. Till.
Nan surrendered to the sheriff and
is now in Jail. 1t turns out thatthere
was no foundation for the attempt to
assault report.

ers numerically.
Mr.. Dill, the defendant, admitted
that he had whipped the prisoner,
but denied that he had done SO un-
mercifully. He claimed that when
Bauknight came to the gang he told
him that he was sick. Mr.. Dill then
had the county phisic.an, DR.. Maui
din, TO examine him. DR.. .Iauldin
reported that the prisoner was able
to work. Bauknight repeatedly re-
fused to work, and 1t became neces-
sary to whip him. He said that he
whipped him only SO much as was
necessary to make him do the work
required of the prisoners.
Judge Prince charged the jury that

the sentence of the court, which was
that the prisoner should serve one
year on the chaingang at hard labor.

oner more than was necessary he
should be convicted, Judge Prince
said. The charge of judge Prince

The jury was out only short
time before returning with YER
dict of not guilty. Mr.. Dill was
warmly congratulated by his friends.
When the charges were brought up

wound be doing justice to the super
visor to remain in the office with the
charges hanging over him.
