Negro Killed Saturday Night.

Last Saturday night a negro
named Oscar Wroton was shot and
killed on the plantation of Mr.. W. H.
Dewitt above Govan. Hosea Odom
was the negro who did the killing.
He did not deny the act, and the
verdict of the coroner's jury was to
this effect, Coroner Zeigler having
held the inquest. There had been
some previous trouble between the
men, and it is said that the trouble
was over Odom's wife. Saturday
night the trouble was renewed at the
commissary, and later on they met
on the road near by and Odom shot
Wroton. Odom claims self defense,
says that Wroton threw his hand
back as if to draw weapon, when
he shot him. Odom was brought to
Bamberg and lodged in jail to await
trial at the November term of court.
Wroton was said to be a turbulent
sort of negro, and by his rowdy dis
position had narrowly escaped serl-
Gus trouble heretofore. He did not
bear a good reputation among his
own race.

DEATH OF A! G. HAYS.
This Sad Event Occurred at His Home
in Greenwood Wednesday Night.

Mr.. ALT G. Hays died at his home
in Greenwood last Wednesday night,
after an illness Of only a few hours.
Death was caused by urem1c poison
ing. He was in Bamberg Monday OF
last week, looking as well as could
be, and his many friends in Bamberg
where he was born and raised were
shocked and grieved by the t1d1ngs
of his sudden death.
He was taken sick on Wednesday
some time during the day, and went
home, but he nor his family thought
he was dangerously i'll, but that night
he grew worse quickly and soon the
end came.
The body was brought here Thurs
day night and was buried at South
end cemetery Saturday morning, the
funeral being postponed until that
time in order that his brother, Mr.
N. R. Hays, and Mr.. Gibson. his
brother-in-law, could reach here from
Apalachicola, Fla. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. T. G..
Herbert, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, and there was large crowd
present. The floral tributes were
especially numerous and handsome.
The pail bearers were: H. H. Cope
land. Havelock Eaves, H. w. John
son, F. M. Simmons, w. P. Riley, j.
A. Murdaugh, Henry F. Bamberg'
and W. D. Rhoad.
Mr.. Hays was born in Bamberg
and lived here until he was grown.
He was the youngest son of the late
Mai. E. R. Hays, and is survived by
his mother and several brothers and
sisters. Some years ago he moved
to Greenwood and was associated IN
business with his brother, the late Il.
NJ. Hays, who died last year. After
his brother practically retired from
business, the Hays Live Stock and
Vehicle Company was organized, ana
A. G. Hays was manager Of this busl-
ness until his death. A few years ago
he was married to Miss Annie Gibson
of Apalachicola, Fla, and his widow
with one child, son, survive him.
"Alf' Hays, as he was known 70
everybody in Bamberg, was thirty.
six years old, and during his short
life had made many friends both here
and in Greenwood, his adopted nome
Clever and genial by nature and with
big heart in him, he was liked by
all who knew him. He inherited
many of the fine qualities OF his
father, and his death will cause sor'
row to many hearts.

Joy Riders Arrested.

Last Sunday Grier Proveaux,
George Wilson, Tobie Creech, Frank
Brabham, John Rush, and Henry
Jeffcoat were arrested in Orange
burg on the charge of taking an
automobile from the garage of Mr..
J. H. Dixon at the cotton mill. They
were brought back to Bamberg Mon
day by Magistrate H. D. Free, and
the trial of Proveau took place Tues
day afternoon, the charges against
all the others being dropped. The
MAGISTRATE found him not guilty.
It seems that Proveaux was work
ing for Mr.. Dixon and some time
Saturday night, he having a key to
the shop, went in the garage and
took out the Franklin touring car
belonging to Mr.. F. M. Simmons
which was in charge of Mr.. Dixon.
Then taking the others with him,
the whole party went over to Orange
burg to spend Sunday.
Proveaux's defense was that Mr..
Dixon had told him he could use the
car provided he would furnish his
own gasoline and this Mr.. Dixon de-
MED. The case against the others
was dropped as it was shown that
they only went along with Proveaux,
he being the one who took the car
out. They are all white men and
boys, and work at the cotton mill,
young Creech being deaf mute. The
car is still in Orangeburg, and it is
not known how much damage was
done to it, as Proveaux was not ex-
perienced in running the car. Mr..
Dixon testified he had told Proveaux
he would take him out Sunday morn
ing and learn him to run the car, but
that he never agreed to let him use
it alone.

rate the stock of whiskey on hand
