AIKEN PLANTER SHOT
BY NEGRO MAN
Mr.. Bradford Courtney, a Prominent
and Well to Do Farmer, Victim of
the Tragedy,

Aiken, Dec. 13.-Bloodhounds from
the state penitentiary are trailing Har-
ris Miles, a negro, who, il caught. Will
be lynched. The negro yesterday af-
ternoon shot and killed Bradford
courtney, one of the foremost citi-
zens OF Aiken county and one of the
o0dnty's most successful planters.
Posses of determined men are securing
the country in search of the negro
who was seen In the outskirts of Aiken
shortly before o'clock last night. He
was shot at, but escaped
The Miles negro worked on Mr..
Courtney's place, four and half
miles from Aiken, near Prothros
mill. where the killing took place
yesterday afternoon about 4.3O o'clock.
Miles followed Mr.. Courtney to
his lot after having been reprimanu-
ed by his employer for some mis-
conduct and demanded a settlement.
MIR. Courtney refused to settle with
the negro, telling him that as he
(the negro) was angry to go home
and come back later. The negro
stubbornly refused to leave as or
dered and Mr.. Courtney took up a
stick and struck him.
The negro pulled pistol and fired,
the bullet entering Mr. Courtneys
throat directly beneath the chin. He
whnn1nh
btu fell dead before he had taken 20
steps. But for the fact that the pistol
was loaded with only one ball, MIR.
Courtney's son, O'Neal, would likely
have been killed by the negro also.
After shooting Mr. Courtney the
negro turned the weapon on his son.
b. o. Courtney, brother of the dead
man, running up, nterfered, and
snatching the smoking pistol from the
negro's hand, turned it upon him. 1t
snapped. Throwing the pistol away,
Mr.. Courtney caught hold of the negro
with one hand and tried to secure his
knife with the other. The negro broke
away, ran and made his escape.
Because of the prominence of Mr..
Cour:lGy, the news reaching town
created much excitement The fren-
zied search for the negro begun i'm
mediately. Sheriff RADON wired to
Columbia for the bloodhounds, which
came through the country in an au-
tomobile, reaching here about 8
o'clock. 1t is believed that the negro
is still in the vicinity of Aiken and
half dozen posses are guarding
against his making his escape either
to Georgia or out of the county. The
searching parties believe they will
catch him tonight If they do, he
will be shot to death.
The dead man has large family
connection in this county, and be.
sides his wife and son, he has two
brothers living here. Mr.. Courtney
was about 56 years of age.

Gen. Frs.k III. Creech.

Barnwell. Dec. 11.-Sheriff Frank
HI. Creech, brigadier general com
manding the Second South Carolina
division, UAited Confederate veter-
ans, died suddenly at his home here
yesterday afternoon of heart failu e.
Although he had been in i'll health for
several months, he was able to at
tend to the duties of his office, and
his death came as great shock to
his many friends all over the county.
He had served Barnwell county as
sheriff for 10 years, having been
elected to four consecutive terms. He
was held in high esteem by the vet,
erans OF the Lost Cause, for they
knew his record as soldier during the
four years of bloody warfare between
the States. He enlisted in the Con-
federate army while still in his teens
and 1t was during that service that he
received the wounds that crippled
him for life. He was as brave in peace
as he was in war, and faced the de-
Eastat!on left by Sherman's vandals
with the same calm courage that he
had faced the shells of the enemy on
the field of battle.
AS mark of respect to a faithful
public servant, the court of general
sessions was adjourned this morning
that the officers, jurors and other at
,endants might attend the funeral SER
vices, which were held in the Metho-
dist church, of which he had long
been consistent member. The body
was Inferred in the Cave churchyard
beside that Of his first wife. Mr.
Creech is survived by his wife. sew
eral sons and daughters, and host
OF relatives and friends. He was 67
years old
In the death of Mr. Creech the
Gown, county and State have lost a
high-toned Christian gentleman.

Several other Rubyites announced their candidacy for positions of rep resentative.
 In Fairbanks the politicians, realiz- ing that must unite if they would defeat the Socialists, appointed com mittees of nine from the Republican, Democratic and Wickersham parties to select compromise ticket.
 Ticket Is Named.
 The result of the conference was the naming of a ticket consisting of Roden and Sutherland for senators; William T. Burns, of Little Eldora- do; Dan Driscon, of Fairbanks; J. J. Mullaly, of Fox, and E. B. Collins, of Vault Creek, for representatives.
 Collins is a Republican and Burns is a Democrat, but all the others are Wickersham men, hence there is much dissatisfaction in the rank and file of the two old parties and some are now bolting to the Socialist standard to defeat the Wickersham ticket

The Toy Kingdom That
 Sets Pace In Turkish War

ently His Highness, handsome ath- letic young fellow, came out on the front porch and sat there smoking cigarettes. People who passed sa- luted, and the Prince nodded his head 1t was all so plain, so common place. that the use of royal titles seemed a bit ridiculous,
 Across the street was the King directing job on the palace-Daint- ing and carpenter work. He looked like a plain, sun.burned country squire: but that title of king is as genuine as if he were the ruler of a great country. The King of Italy thought it a mesalliance for his cousin to marry the daughter of an American Senator, but the King of Italy himself was perfectly willing to marry, and did marry, the daughter of the old man we saw bossing that job of painting. Royalty surrounded even by poverty and squalor, counts in Europe far more than democracy even though it be gilded and dwell in a palace.
 "Al the big powers keep legations in Cetinje. The French ambassador lives in a handsome mansion. Rus. sia. Italy and Germany also have there pretentious ambassadorIal res idences.
 Were Congress to take some sparsely settled Western county, de- clare it a Kingdom and make the mayor of it's chief village king of the new county, it would still be the same little county, full of rocks and sagebrush. The king would still be the same man he was when they called him Mayor Nevertheless, Europe, which wouldn't speak to mayor, even of New York, would call that sagebrush potentate broth CT; legations would be established in his shabby little village; royalty would seek in marriage the hand of the daughter. And he himself when abroad would be received with boom ing of cannon and would put up at royalty's palaces.
 "At any rate that is what has hap pened with old Peter of Montenegro; born in a hut, ruler of handful of men in a two-by.four country, his capital a mere village, because he has the sense to call himself king he is received by emperors and kaisers as a brother in royalty. And yet Shakespeare says there is nothing in name!
 Cetinje lies at the bottom of a deep bowl, the steep sides of which rise to a height of 1,SOO feet above the village. We hired a carriage and drove up the zig.zag road which leads to it to the east, and arrived at the edge of the bowl, We saw the little toy capital to the west, nearly 2,OOO feet below, while 4,SOO feet below us on the east lay the beautiful lake of Scutarf. It was magnificent scene"

Mixed Tickets
 in the Interior

According to recent advices from Fairbanks a merry fight has been on in the Fourth division between what is known IS the wickersham ticket and the Socialists, who are particu- larly strong in that section.
 The Socialists were first in the field with their ticket which consists of J. M. Brooks and John Gonna, candidates for senators and Bernard Esthy, Charles H. Dittemar, N. R. King and Daniel McCabe, candidates for representatives.
 Get Together on Compromise.
 Down in the Iditarod the Wicker sham followers nominated Henry Ro- den. a Wickersham man, the assist ant district attorney, for senator, and in Ruby. at the instigation of the del egate himself, the people put up Dan Sutherland, Wickersham's campaign manager. as candidate for senator.
