ASSASSINATION IN HORRY.
John Watson, Prominent Young
Man, Slain by Negro.

Conway, June 2.-Mr. John Wat
son, a prominent young man of the
Greensea section of the county,
about 20 miles from Conway, was to-
day waylaid and shot by Melvin Wat
son, notorious negro. Mr.. watson
died a few hours after being snot.
Sheriff Sessions learned OF the AFFAIR
by telegram and went Immediately
to the scene of the killing. News
reached here since the sheriff left
that more than 200 people with
bloodhounds are in search of the ne
gro, who fed as soon as he fired the
fatal shot. What has been learned
here of the affair came by telephone
from Loris, a railroad station about
six miles from Greensea, and hence
full particulars have not yet been
learned.
i From the best information obtain
able it appears that Mr.. watson
early this morning had started to
Tabor, N. c., in wagon. When only
a short distance from Greensea he
was fired upon by the negro, who
was crouched in a fence jam. Mr..
Watson was superintendent OF the
large plantation of Hon. J. P. Der
ham, and it is stated that a young
son of Mr.. Derham was in the wagon
when the shooting occurred. He was
not hurt.
Greensea is populous section and
q large posse gathered in a very
short time and went in pursuit OF the
negro who, it is said, is a very dan
gerous character. Mr.. Watson was
a young man of wide family connec-
ton and very popular throughout
the country, and great Indignation Is
felt over the crime.

BLOODY BATTLE IN PRISON.
Eight Convicts and Two Wardens
Killed in Fight.

Tifis, June "a desperate battle
was fought in the prison here to-day
which ended in eight prisoners and
two wardens being killed, and four
wardens and two soldiers being NOR
tally wounded. Five conyicts who
were condemned to death, while be-
ing transferred to the death cells,
overpowered the wardens, wounding
and disabling them. They then ran
through the corridor, shooting down
every one they encountered. They
were finally brought to bay by a de-
tachment Of wardens, but refused to
surrender, fighting until they were
crushed by repeated volleys.
During the fighting three other
prisoners escaped from their cells
and rushed through the corridors in
another direction. They were run
down by soldiers, and as they were
putting up a stubborn resistance,
they were shot to death.

CONDEMNED NEGRO LYNCHED.
Maik Morris Dragged from Cell and
Hanged in Florida's Capital.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 6.-Dang-
ling from a limb in the county Jail
yard, and within sight of the dome
of Floridas capitol, the liteless body
of Maik Morris, colored, greeted the
people of this city this morning. AL
ready condemned to death for the
murder of William Langston, late
sheriff of this county, this negro on
Friday, June IL, would have paid
the penalty of his crime with his life
at the hands of the law. A mob Of
not more than Is men decreed other
wise, however, and at o'clock this
morning Morris was dragged from
his cell in the Jail and strung to the
limb Of a tree within the jail in
closure. As if to add emphasis to
their lawlessness, the masked band
emptied a round Of cartridges into
the lifeless body of the negro and
rode away without the slightest mo-
lestation.
Sheriff Houston was in Georgia
and when the lynchers arrived at the
Jail they brought the jailer to the
door with the ruse that they had
prisoner, overpowered him, took his
keys, secured the negro Morris, lock-
ed the jailer in Morris cell and soon
accomplished their work.
Lately Morris had been acting
strangely, and it is believed that
fear that the negro would attempt to
escape the gallows through feigned
insanity prompted the act Of the mob
members who this morning took the
law into their own hands to avenge
the death Of Sheriff Langston.
Langston was killed by the negro
Morris in March, last, while the
sheriff was attempting to arrest him
for a crime committed in Georgia.
There was considerable excitement
following the killing of the officer
and for three days posses with blood
hounds secured the turpentine
woods and swamps in search Of Nor
ris, lynching being recognized as in
evitable in case of capture at that
time. He was later captured IN
Georgia and taken to Jacksonville
for safekeeping until the date OF his
trial here. Morris pleaded guilty to
the murder charge, received the
death sentence, and Gov. Gilchrist
named an early date for his execu-
ton, since when there has been no
intimation Of lynching.
The coroner's inquest to-day failed
to develop any clue to the Identity
of the men composing the mob.

SHOCKING CRIME AT NASHVILLE
Boy of Fifteen Kills Boy of Sixteen
Over q Boast.

Nashville, Tenn, June 4.-Shortly
after o'clock tonight, 16-vear-old
Edgar Serber was called from his
home in West Nashville, and killed
in the street by 15-year-old Jessie
Mcpherson. The slayer used a re-
peating shotgun and fired twice, lit
orally blowing off the top of his vic
TINS head.
Mcpherson, who is the son Of Ell
Ger Jos. Mcpherson, minister of the
Church of Christ, was arrested short
ly after the tragedy, and is now con-
fined at the police station. Talking
of the tragedy tonight, he admitted
that he went to Serber's home to kill
him, saying that Serber had talked
about him and "said what he was 60
ing to do until he was tired of it..
Some weeks ago the boys engaged in
fight, during which Serber, it is
said, used a buggy whip on McPher-
son.
Serber was sitting on the porch Of
his home talking to his aged father,
when Mcpherson summoned him to
his death.

BOUND OVER TO COURT.
Young Campobello Man Who Beat an
Old Soldier.

Jones Eubanks, a young white
man from near Campobello, was
bound over to court by Magistrate
Kirby on the charge of beating up
W. F. Jenkins, an aged Confederate
soldier. VIM. Eubanks, the father
of the young man, was also arrest
ed, but there was not sufficient evil
dence to hold him. Young Eubanks
gave bond in the sum of $500. 1t Is
said that Jenkins made table for
the Eubanks, and was to get his pay
when they sold a certain heifer. The
heifer was sold, and the old soldier
went and asked for his money. An
alteration ensued, and Jones Eu-
banks collared the old man and gave
his a thrashing. VIM. Eubanks is
said to have stood by and watch his
son beat up the old man and never
offered to separate the combatants.

MIR. Ellerbe Suffers Broken Leg.

Washington, June 6.-Represen-
tative Ellerbe had an unfortunate
accident Friday night. Slipping on
the glazed tiled floor of the lobby of
the Metropolitan hotel, he broke his
leg just below the knee. He was
taken at once to the Providence hos
pital, where he is now. To-day he is
reported getting along very well,
though suffering considerably from
the pain. 1t is not yet certain wheth-
er the small bone (fibia) is broken
or not. An X-ray machine will be
turned upon it tomorrow to ascer-
tain the exact condition of the frac-
ture. No serious danger is antici-
pated. Mr.. Ellerbe wrote his wife,
who is in South Carolina, that it is
not worth while to come up.

Savings of Mrs. Solomon.

Verify, verify, my daughter, when
a man proposeth unto maiden, why
doth she always say, 'This is so sud
den!''
Yea, why is she so ''surprised?"
For by the time he hath discover
ed that she is different" from other
maidens, hath she not already made
up her mind whether to be married
in white satin OF a going-a-way
gown?
And by the time he hath begun to
think of a fat for two, hath she not
already picked out the fiat and de-
cided upon the furnishings?
Yet, 10! when, after many weary
moons, the proposal cometh, her
ears are not prepared for what she
heareth and she is astounded!
For, mark by what slow degrees
even "by inches" lambeth him.
Behold, how she leadeth him into
cozy corners and beside the still wa
ters of the conservatory fountain,
where all is propitious. Yet he
speaketh not.
She standeth with him upon the
mountain top and sitteth beside him
upon the lonely beach; and she saith
in her heart, "now-or never-he
will speak up"
Yet he remaineth silent.
She lureth him into the green
fields at twilight. She becometh af-
frighted at strange COWS and" things
in the dark. She rusheth unto him
for protection and falleth in his
arms. Yet his tongue cleaveth unto
the roof of his mouth.
She maketh him at home in the
dining room and feedeth him from
the chafing dish. She weareth dot
ted Swiss apron and playeth the
domestic
She introduceth him unto her sis
ter's children and slightest significant
ly. But he will not be moved!
Then, in her despair, she giveth it
up, saying unto herself, go to!
There is nothing doing. Lo! have
wasted my time. Yea, I have eaten
of the fruit of the lemon tree!"
And in her wrath she pickett a
quarrel with him and leaveth him in
a huff.
Yet on the following day, when
she saileth forth in a macintosh
and rubbers, he meeteth her upon
the muddy street corner. And then,
10! beneath a dripping umbrella and
between two trolley cars, with the
eyes of the multitude upon them, he
exclaimeth:
t'Say, I can't stand this thing any
longer. When wilt thou marry me?''
Yet, let her gather the fruit of her
labors and let her works praise her;
for peradventure, in all the days OF
her life she shall get nothing nearer
to a real proposal! Selah.

morrow morning. It is not known
whether the child was alive or dead

In all
The World
of Pianos

You will never find piano just
like the artistic Stieff.
There is an individuality
about the Stieff piano all its
own.
That beautiful singing, sonor-
Gus tone, wondrous volume
and perfect action, place it In a
sphere above all comparison.
Why should any one buy an
inferior piano when they can
buy the artistic Stieff or Shaw
piano direct from it's maker?
The price is within reach Of the
most economical buyer while
the grade Is beyond competi-
tion.
Don't take chances of buying
a cheap or medium grade piano.
