WINTHROP NOTES.


The old time custom of the college
literary societies presenting an an
nual play was kept up last Monday
night by the Curry society. David
Garrick," a play based On an event in
the life of the great English actor,
David Garrick, was presented. 'Tis
needless to say that the audience en-
joyed the delightful success of the
amateurs.
DR.. Johnson always has something
entertaining for his girls. This time
it is the Wofford college gymnasium
exhibition, which is to be here on
March 6.
Is there any one who hasn't a ten
der spot for little folks? It seems
that the head of our kindergarten,
Miss Macfeat, has many such spots.
She has arranged to have a kinder
garten at the Wymoyo mill. Some of
the kindergarten students have the
work in hand and are successfully
carrying it out. Mention should also
be. made of the night school which,
under the supervision of Miss Macfeat,
and taught by some Of the college
teachers, is much to improve the
minds Of the mill people. When some
Of the facts are known concerning the
need of this improvement, one feels a
deeper interest in home missions.
The relief to the department of
science by the appropriation for new
building, is deeply appreciated. Here
tofore the girls have been compelled
to climb five flights of steps in order
to reach the garnet, in which is sit
uated the science room. So, of course,
it is self-evidept that this timely aid
is welcomed by the Winthrop girls.
(Our legislature is wise one).
We wish to give our friends cor
rect impression of the improvements
here, as it seems there have been
some wrong ones. The college has
had only three buildings in 16 years,
while a. good deal of the money put
into these has been received from
outside contributions.
Walter Page, editor Of The Worlds
Work, and who gave a very instruc-
tive lecture here sometime ago, has
recently given a number of books to
the college library.
I am sure We all know Dr.. Joynes,
the lifetime friend Of Winthrop, who
has further shown this by giving an
adjoining lot for a students building.
The three literary societies, together
with the Young Woman's Christian
association, are raising the money
with which to erect the building. We
are proud to say that a large amount

continues, there will soon be another
great improvement to Winthrop.
The Winthrop college alumnae as
sociation is going to hold a meeting
in Columbia, March 25, 1911, for the
purpose of organiz:ng former students
of Winthrop into local chapters Win
throp daughters. This meeting will
be held at Marion Street school, at
1890 o'clock Saturday morning. The
meeting will be followed by a recep-
ton at the State house at II o'clock.
All former students of Winthrop are
invited to be present.

Shoots Mr.. Jas. S. Gillian in Back OF

Instantly.

Mr.. Jas. S. Gillian, who has been
living on Mr.. Jno. c. Hipp's place in
No. township, was shot in the back
of the neck and head on Friday after
noon by Sam Boozer, colored, and in
stantly killed. Sam Boozer was also
living on Mr.. Hipp's place. Coroner
Felker held the inquest on Friday
night and the verdict is that Gillian
came to his death from a gunshot
wound at the hand of Sam BooZer,
and that Alex Rook is accessory. Rock
was arrested and is in jail. Boozer
escaoed and a warrant is out for his
arrest
The testimony as taken before the
coroner is printed herwith. 1t deals
entirely with the facts Immediately
surrounding the killing. There have
been a great many rumors in regard
to the matter, many of which, no
doubt, are unfounded in fact, and have
gained in volume as they were circu-
lated.
It is stated that during the day, Mr..
Gillian had had some trouble with
Boozer's wife, Clayton Boozer, and
Boozer's step-daughter, May Belle
Rook, in which Mr.. Gillian had cut
Clayton Boozer on the hand, and had
made couple of ugly gashes on the
face and neck of May Belle Rook.
Boozer was in town during the day
with Mr. Hipp's teams to get rations.
A phone message came to Mr.. Hipp
of the difficulty, and he Immediately
went to Old Town on the 2.48 train.
He was accompanied by Sam Boozer
and Sans brother. What took place
after their arrival up. to the time of
the homicide is not stated. Mr.. Hipp
who returned to Newberry on the
evening train Friday, stated that Mr..
Gillian had been drinking during the
day, and he had gotten Mr.. Gilliam's
promise to come on to Newberry that
night, and that he was not expecting
so serious a difficulty In fact, had
not observed that Boozer had his gun.
There was considerable excitement
in the community during the day and
a large number of the citizens assem-
bled after the killing, and it is not at
all improbable that if Boozer had been
captured during the night that he
would have been dealt with summari-
ly. It is a very unfortunate occur
renee.
Mr.. Gillian was about 43 years old
and married. He leaves beside his
wife. four children. For a number of
years prior to moving in the country,
he worked at the two cotton mills in
Newberry and has always been con-
sidered a good citizen peacable and
law-abiding. His brother, Mr.. Jno
Gillian lives at the Newberry Cotton
mill and has been there almost con-
since the mill was built,
and is a good citizen He has several
brothers ard many relatives and
friends, who deDlore his sudden and
ending.
Mr.. Gillian was member of the
Red Men in good standing. and was
buried at West Enc cemetery Satur-
day afternoon.
The funeral was conducted by the
Rev. W. A. Gardner, and attended by

This happened in Newberry county
in the State of South Carolina, On the
3rd day of March, 1911. I don't know
what the difficulty was between Mr.
Gillian and Sam Boozer. Sam Boozer
had been to town, and came back on
the train. He heard what happened
on this place while he was in NeWber-
ry and came back. MIR. J. Hipp came
in Mr.. Geo. Hipp's store in the town
Of Newberry and told us in the pres
ence of Sam BooZer that Mr.. Gillian
had cut one Of the negro Womens
throats, and that he did not know
which one and that they sent for him
(Mr. Hipp) to come. 1t was about
twenty minutes until three. Mr.. Hipp
said that he was coming up on the
train and Sam Boozer said wanted to
come within i'm. San Boozer said he
was coming home with Mr.. Hipp. Sam
Boozer did not make it custom to
come up in the yard with his gun in
his hand about that time. He shot Mr..
Gillian with his (BuoZer's) own gun.
It was a double barrel breech-loaded.
When Mr.. Gillian turned and went
back towards the house he had his
hands down at his side with nothing
in either of them and was not making
any attempt to do anything to Boozer
at all, when Boozer shot Mr.. Gillian

was the shooting. Sam Boozer did
the shooting. Mr.. Gillian was faced
toward the house. Mr.. Gillian turned
back to the house for which I don't
know. When I first saw Sam he was
standing up with the gun in his hand
and the muzzle was turned toward
Mr.. Gillian. He (Sam) was not point
ing the gun at Mr.. Gillian. No words
was passed. Mr.. Gillian was between
Sam and the house. Nobody said
anything, not word. Mr.. GILLIAN did
not say anything. l could have heard
any words that was passed. When
Sam shot he went toward Mr.. La
son Feller's house. I heard some 9th
er shots. He had two sheels in his
gun and shot them out. He loaded
his gun after he had started up to-
ward his house.
I have told everything that I knew.
This is Newberry county and the State
of South of Carolina. The shooting
happened about one-half of an nc

Mr. Gilliam's yard on Mr.. Jno. Hipp's
place. Mr.. Gillian fell in ten feet of
