ANOTHER KILLING IN OCONEE,
Clifton NinSOn Died Last Thursday
from Wounds Received Monday.

Clifton Ninson died ut the home
o. his father, Rev. II. J. VinsOn in
the Holly Springs section Of Oconcc
early last Thursday morning from the
effects Of wounds received at the
hands OF William Sanford Monday
morning, September 9Th. The two
men were brothers-in-law both be-
ing comparatively young men, Vim
son about 80 and Sanford about 80.
Two, and possibly three, shots were
fired by Sanford, who used a shotgun,
Ninson receiving wounds in the left
shoulder and right side. There were
three eye witnesses to the shooting,
Ellcrbe Vinson, a boy Of / years,
and the wife and brother OF Sanford.
The trouble originated, it is
thought, over the fact that an Illicit
distillery belonging 10 young Vinson
was recently destroyed by revenue
officers and he accused Sanford Of
having reported the still. Some time
during Sunday night before the trag-
edy parties came to Sanford's house
and left leaning against the door
facing Of his home Il small coffin
draped in black cloth. 1t is stated
that there were tracks OF one man
leading from Sanfords door to the
front gate, and from there on were
several tracks, and that the latter
led towards the home OF Vinson.
early Monday morning Ninson ap-
peared at Sanford's house and made
threats against him for having re-
ported his still, and, it Is stated, drew
his pistol on Sanford. From the time
OF the appearance OF NinsOn at the
Sanford home, there was trouble, and
tho shooting soon began, a number OF
shots being exc" nged and loud and
abusive language uscd. Sanford re-
ceived no wounds.
Coroner Kerr was summoned
Thursday morning and cmpanelled a
jury OF inquest at the scene OF the
tragedy The verdict Of the jury was
to the effect that the deceased came
to his death by reason Of gunshot
wounds, inflicted at the hands Of
William Sanford
Young Ninson was Il son Of Rev.
r. j. Vinson, Of the Baptist church,
who is also magistrate for the Holly
Springs section. Rev. Mr.. Vinson

Paying the Price.

In the printing business. as in
every line of effort, there are. and
presumably there will always be, a
small percentage of print shops al
ways close to the danger line of
bankruptcy. The proprietorS of
such shops are impossible as bust
ness men. They have as their mot
to; Tomorrow is another day."
and as long as they get through
today somehow they give little
heed to tomorrow or next week or
next month.
Because of their irresponsible
business methods they often cross
over the boundary line of bank
ruptcy. and the sheriff with his
red flag is a fitting finale to a
trade nuisance.
When printers of this class esti-
mate they seem to 90 it blind"
If they have a chance they soak

who only patronizes such printers

poor that it is an abomination in
the eyes of any reader with taste

chamois have been cast aside, along
with number of other articles
that have been used for the pur-
pose of cleaning eyeglasses for a
great many years.
This new article is one, two or
five dollar bill. 1t is seldom that a
bill larger than a enc dollar bill is
used, although around the latter
part of the week or month a few
large bills may be seen in use as
eye-glass cleaners. Instead of a
man taking the corner of his news
paper to wipe off the dust on his
glasses, he takes from his pocket
one of the latest cleaners, but if it
happens that he has exhausted his
supply he then calls upon his paper
or handkerchief to answer that pur-
pose. New York Evening Post.
