Turns On Father
And Shoots Him.

> Charleston, April 16:-D: w: Muir
den, white, Car repairer in the en-
ploy Of the Southern railway, was
shot and kille by his 16-year-old son,
Isaac, on Saturday night at bis resi-
dence near Lincolnville, this State. 1t
is saiG Mrrden had been drinking
heavily on Saturday afternoon and he
terrified his family by fourishing
double-barreled shotgun and threaten
ing to kill them all. Some of the girls
of the family succeeded in getting the
gun and hiding it, whereupon Murden
boarded a train, came to Charleston,
bought new weapon and a box OF
cartridges and returned home. There
he found only his son, Isaac, awaiting
him, the rest of the family having fled
in terror at his approach. Murden
fired shot at the boy, who was stand
ing on the step, and followed the lad
when the latter fled into the house
and hid behind the door. He fired
three more shots at the boy before
Isaac brought magazine pistol into
play and killed his father with shot
through the right breast. The boy
has been held for trial and is now in
the Berkeley county Jail at Monks
Corner.

Sheriff Makes Big SefZ-
ure of Liquor.

On Friday morning Sheriff Corley
made one of the largest seizures OF
iquor and beer ever made by an officer
of this county, when he captured at
the Lexington depot, five barrels of
beer and two barrels of whiskey. The
beer was consigned to @. S. Rauch.
One of the barrels of liquor was con-
signed to George S. Drafts; the other
to S. E. Hendrix. Sheriff Corley
called Judge Drafts over the phone
and asked him if he had any liquor
ordered. Receiving a negative reply,
the barrel was captured. Mr.. Hendrix
was likewise called and the same
sansWer was received.
Sheriff Corley has put the railroad
authorities on notice that if any ship
ments of whiskey are delivered to
parties other than to whom it is con-
signed, that he will bring action
against the company under the Fed
eral staute, which declares that no
LIQUOR shall be delivered to anyone
other than the person to whom it Is
consigned.
The sheriff waited at the station to
see who would call for the goods. He
did not have to wait long, however,
before John Robinson, a negro driver,
called. The negro had the goods
loaded and was in the act Of leaving
the station when he was called down by
the sheriff. The entire shipment was
seized, and, after the usual thirty
days expire, the sheriff will empty the
stuff through the sewer pipes at the
county Jail.
Sheriff Corley states that he pro-
poses to see that the law is carried OFT
to the letter. While nothing definite
has been learned. it IS thought that the
shipment was intended for one of the
social clubs Of the town.
In talking about the seizure, the
| sheriff said that he had evidence to
the effect that the clubs had not been
operating in strict requirement of the
| law, and that the shipment was en-
tirely too large to come under the
| statute. There we're 102 quarts oi
whiskey in the barrels and 600 bottles
of beer.
This is only the beginning, accord
ing to the sheriff's statement, anc
other surprises are expected.

Beautiful Easter Services
at St. SaeDhen'S.

Beautiful and impressive Easter
services were held in St. Stephens
Lutheran church on Sunday. In the
morning the pastor, Rev. r. S. Brown,
delivered a strong discourse Oh the
resurrection, after which the holy
communion was administered. The
music by the choir was special fea-
ture, solo by Miss Annie Martha
Meetze, who will graduate in voice
culture at the College for Women in
June, and solo by Miss May Boozer,
a graduate of the same institution, be-
ing especially beautiful.
In the evening ali appropriate and
most delightful programme was ren-
6ered by the Sunday school. At both
services the handsome edifice was
filled to its capacity.
