Monday afternoon sholt distance
from Walhalla, the victim being a
LITTLE negro boy. Luther Deal. white,
about Ia years OF age, was hunting,
and seeing two negro children at a
pnI"immon tree gathering persim-
mons he went to where they were
and spent some time with them. Get
ting up to leave, Deal swung his gun
across his arm, when he was startled
by its discharge. The entire load OF
shot had taken effect in the shoulder
of the negro boy (about years of
age) and he died Instantly. The
shoulder was almost completely torn
from the body. Magistrate Crisp
and Deputy Sheriff Jones went i'm
medlately to the scene, and from in
formation given them the fact Of ac-
cidcntal killing was established. to
their satisfaction. The girl told
practically the same story OF the az
fair as that told by yonng Deal. The
parents of the negro children and
those OF the Deal boy stated that
the children had known each other
for quite a while, were on intimate
terms, and that SO far as they knew
lhere was no occasion whatever for
anything but the best Of feeling be-
tween them. Luther Deal, as soon
as the accident occurred, ran to the
home Of the boys parents and in
formed them OF what had happened.

ago gave up his work as an engineer
on the Southern Railway to come to
his old home in the hope of regain

ravages Of disease, however, had
taken deep hold on him. and
though for short while he seemed
TO improve, still it had been realized
