Herbert Wood Not Guilty.

Winnsboro special of February 10. to
the News and Courier: The court Of
general sessions, which convened here
ing, was busy all yesterday with the
case Of the State against Wood, in
dicted for the murder Of Padgett
Brown. Late in the afternoon the
jury, after being out about twenty
minutes, returned a verdict of not
guilty. The deceased and the defend
ant were both prominent mill people
at the Fairfield Cotton mills, and the
result of drinking, which caused free
fight. Wood successfully established
the plea of self-defense, showing that
he shot his assailant to escape serious
bodily harm or to save his own life.
There was much interest taken in the
case by the public and the court room
was crowded throughout the day.
Mr.. T. v. Boyd Dead.
Mr. Theodore V. Boyd, whose long
and tedious illness with heart trouble,
has been previously mentioned in The
Enquirer, died at his residence near
Flint Hill church, in Fort Mill town.
ship last Saturday night. He had been
in bad health for more than a year
and had been confined to his home for
some three months, good part Of
which time he was unable to lie down.
In noting his death, the Fort Mill
correspondent Of the Charlotte Obser-
yer says: Mr.. Boyd was a useful
member of Flint Hill church and was
man of noble impulses and generous
heart. He had large circle of friends
as was attested by the very large con-
gregation which attended his funeral,
day afternoon at half past 3. Inter-
ment was made in the cemetery near
by where three Of his children are
buried. He leaves a wife, five sons
and three daughters, the majority OF
whom have grown to maturity, but all
still reside under the parental roof.
The deceased was about SO years or
age and for the greater part of his life
had been a man of more than average
physical strength and good health.
He was a useful man in the commu-
nifty where he lived and will be sorely
missed The funeral was conducted
by his pastor, Rev. Edward S. Reaves.

ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
PRIDE OF NASHVILLE.

That Roger Williams University
has always been an object Of pride to
the citizens OF Nashville goes with

the untiring struggles she has under

May Goth, the work must stop.
The Board of Trustees Of Roger
