He Lived in NeWberry.

Atlanta Journal.
Fitzgerald, Ca, June 21.-The an
uual> address of President Emmet Cab
aniss, of the Georgia division of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive union, late Tuesday afternoon,
was one of the distinct features of the
annual convention. The members OF
the union had realized the splendid
executive ability of the retiring presi-
dent, but his sound and wholesome
advice was listened to with the great
est interest.
President Cabaniss occupies per-
haps one of the most original posi-
tons with the union, not on account
of his own doing, but on acoclnt OF
the laws of the union. He was elect
ed last year at Union City convention
and although he would have probably
been reelected, if conditions had
been different, he did not serve out
his full term Of one year.
Having been elected to the State leg
islature by handsome majority II
his county last year, he will teke MS
seat in the general assembly next
week. The constitution Of the Far
mers' union forbids State official
from holding the Office Of president
in the Farmers union. The farmers
convention is usually held in July, as
it was held last year. But to conform
with the constitution it was necessary
that Mr.. Cabaniss give up the presl-
dency so as to serve in the legislature,
so the convention was called a month
earlier to name his successor.

TRAGEDY WITHIN PRISON WALLS.
J. W. Nesservey, Colleton Man Serv-
ing Twenty Years, Kills Negro
IN Penitentiary.

Columbia, June 26.-J. ". Messer-
vey, a white convict serving twenty
years for manslaughter, killed Van
Clanton, a negro, who was serving ten
years for manslaughter. The killing
took place this afternoon within the
walls of the State penitentiary. A
shovel was used as the weapon.
Van Clanton was from Darlington
county. The white man was from Col
Teton county. The man who did the
killing has served only about two
years of his sentence, according to the
prison records. The negro had serv-
ed half of his ten years.
It is somewhat of & coincidence that
both men were already serving SEN
tences for manslaughter at the time OF
the ARRAY this afternoon.
Gives Messervey's Version.
Superintendent Griffith was asked
about the killing tonight and explain
ed it. about as follows:
"J. W. Messervey, a white convict in
the penitentiary, killed a negro COLI
vict. The two men were cleaning uE
the barber shop, which is used for the
convicts, under the hospital, when the
negro convict, without saying a word
cut Messervey twice with a knife and
Messervey struck the negro twice with
a shovel and killed him.
sThis is what Messervey says about
4 and no one saw the difficulty"
As to Prosecution.
Solicitor Cobb is out of the city to-
night. Any statement about the pro-
secution of the man who did the Kill
ing is speculative. With 18 years yet
to serve, the chances are that Messer-
vey would not emerge from the prison
walls even should he not be finally
convicted of the killing Of the negro
today.
This is the first case of this kind at
the penitentiary, it is believed, at least
within recent years. At the asylum
cases of this kind have occurred. One
ts recalled within the last few years
z5hero one inmate cut the throat Of
another in the barber's chair.
Killed Constable Fishburne.
Messervey, of Colleton, is a noted
prisoner. 1t was he who killed Con-
stable F'ishburne in that county when
an effort was made to seize some alco-
hol that Messervey was carrying on
IN a WAGON from the depot Messer-
vev was commonly said to have been
'.bad egg" in Colleton. Another SEN
sation was added to his case when 1t
was printed that he was brought up
here chained to negro prisoner, VINO
was also being brought to the peniten-
tiary.
When Meseervey was tried for muir
der the verdict of the jury was that
he was guilty Of manslaughter. AZ:
he was given the heavy sentence or
twenty years. Messervey is a cripple.
The case excited considerable COM
ment at the time. 1t is this Messer-
vey who sent the negro to his death
This afternoon when he hit him twice
in the head with a. shovel. MesserVey
has been here something over two
years. No inquest was held over the
body of the negro who was killed.
