MIR. LIvELY SPEAKS.
Methodist Minister Answers Primitiv
 Baptist At Opp.

| Baptist At Opp. Opp, Oct Especial. )---Rev. will l jam Lively, of Birmingham. made an
 ahIe address to about 200 voters in Opp yesterday against the adoption | of the proposed amendment. 1 His speech was listened to with much interest. He warned the people, and es- pecially those of his church to go slow | on this great question; that he feared | that the meaning of the greatest part | of the adoption was held back from the voters and that he believed that 1t would finally mean Union of all the churches and that all the people would
 finally be forced to worship the same
 beief and be members of the same church.
 He urged the voters of Alabama not
 to be led by Northern minister whom the old gray-heads had onced faced in fighting for their rights. He said that all true Primitive Baptists who are In good standing in Alabama are fighting the amendment. He claimed that it meant that wine would finally be talk en away from the churches for sacra- mential purposes
 At the close of his address Rev. B. r. Marshall. pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of this place, made an address in defense of the amend ment. He made an explanation of the difference between wines and liquors and claimed that they were different things. He declared that wines could
 be used and always could be used for
 sentimental purposes in the churches
 of Alabama and elsewhere.
 MT Lively left Opp for the lower edge of Geneva county where there is to be held a Primitive Baptist Asso- ciation. There are a great number of
 Primitive Baptists through this section of the country and MT. Lively has
 many friends through this section.
 The cotton crop through this section has about been marketed and as a
 general rule. the farmers are in good condition.

POLICEMAN KILLS NEGRO.
Ridgeway Officer Shoots Black Who
Resisted Arrest.

Ridgeway, September 11.-Joe
Murphy, negro, was shot and killed
last night by Policeman Crumpton.
The shooting occurred in the negro
quarters of the town, just outside of
the house occupied by Lila Coleman,
a negro woman. The house had been
reported as a nuisance, and when
Crumpton attempted to make an ar
rest, Murphy resisted, cursing the
policeman and throwing rocks,
whereupon Crumpton fired twice, one
shot entering the back and pene-
trating the body, severing some
blood vessel, producing hemorrhage
and causing death. Magistrate Helms
empaneled a jury to-day and had an
examination by DR.. Team, and a ver-
dict was rendered that Murphy came
to his death by a pistol shot wound
in the hands of J. G. Crumpton, an
officer of the law, in discharge of his
duty in defence of his life. Magis-
trate Helms then let Mr.. Crumpton
out on S1,500 bond to appear at
Court at Winnsboro on Monday next.
