FARMER SHOOTS ANOTHER
WOUNDED MAN KILLED BROTH
Err OF HIS ASSAILANT.
Joe Simpson Wounded by T. S. Ses.
sions-Simpson's Son Tells Story
of Trouble.

Camden, Nov. 4.-Joe Simpson, a
prominent farmer of the Blaney
neighborhood, was shot and wounded
about the face and shoulder this
morning at II o'clock by T. S. Ses-
sions, another farmer of the same
neighborhood. The shooting is said
to be an indirect result of the kill
ing of T. C. Sessions's brother, Henry
Sessions several months ago, by
Simpson. Earl Simpson, son of Joe
Simpson, who had come to Camden
to have a warrant sworn out for
sessions, was interviewed tonight.
He said that he, his father, young
er brother and negro were gather
ing corn in a field near the public
road when Sessions rode by in his
buggy. Shortly afterwards, Sessions
passed them again. He said that they
continued their work and that he
was some distance from his father.
Some time after Sessions had passed
the field the second time, he said,
his .(Simpson's) young brother called
out to his father to look out, that
Sessions was going to shoot, and that
no sooner than the son gave the
alarm the father satrted to turn
around, but was shot before doing
so. Mr.. Simpson, who was wound
ed, ran, said the son, and Sessions
followed him for some distance, but
did not fire again.
Sessions Arrested.
DR. Grisby, of Blaney, was sum-
moned shortly after the shooting, as
was the sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Dolby
Huchabee left for Blaney> shortly af-
ter receiving word of the shooting.
Reports from Blaney state that Ses-
sions has been arrested and that he
and the deputy are on their way to
Camden:
OSFCl oil dSo SOo
sions drove up to Simpsons gin house
and, following an alteration, Simp-
son shot and killed him. Mr.. Simp-
son was later released on bond and
his son, Earl Simpson, who was in
dicted as an alleged accessory to the
killing, was released at the prelimin-
ary hearing.
Earl Simpson said that his father
had been warned several times
that T. C. Sessions would "get him"
in case he was acquitted, but as the
trial would not come off until next
week, that the family did not regard
the threats seriously.
1t is not known yet whether Mr..
Simpsons wounds will be healed suf-
ficiently for him to stand trial then
or not.

HOMICIDE NEAR TUsKEGEE.
Young Man Shoots Friend After Be.
ing Warned Against Accident.

Tuskegee, Ala, November O.
Sterling Lloyd, aged %, son of a
large turpentine operator, is in jail
charged with numbering G. T. Boles,
aged 80, at Milstead late yesterday
afternoon. Floyd is said to have
playfully put his shotgun in the face
of each of five young men standing
in front of a store, when he returned
from hunting. Boles warned him
that he might accidentally shoot
some one, but Floyd, it is said, raised
his gun knocking Boles's hat off.
This Boles resented and Floyd pulled
his pistol and shot Boles.

Letter from "Old Timer"

Wanderers Rest, Nov. 3.-Cold,
bleak days we are having now; more
of them than ever before at this
season of the year it seems, yet for
all of the unusual weather, only yes
terday figs were gathered from
four-year-old tree that has given
few nice size figs each day since
early July. A most wonderful per-
formance to the credit of the scale
proof fig.
Then the flowers, how pretty and
bright Ha, ha, the little violets,
true to time, are here, all smiles and
bright eyes, who can be grum that
look in their cheerful little faces?
Glad you are here, little flowers, for
it brings other days. Roses sweet,
roses rare, white pink, and red all
abloom soon to Wither and die at the
touch of the ice king, but beautiful to
the last. Oh, why should beauty
fade and die so soon! Dahlias, too,
most beautiful and perfect of the
year, cheers the cold, bleak, days
with chrysantheums soon to be in all
their glory Cold world, beautiful
world, with bright stars overhead,
none need be chilled with them
beckoning look up, look up. Now,
the pigs are growing fat, sausage
and spare ribs soon to grace the
festive board, then what is better
than back bone and rice cooked to-
gether. Bright times ahead for the
man who has them now in field of
pindars, pigs getting fat and land
enriched by them for the next crop.
Still with all the joys, sadness
comes apace. Only yesterday friend
and neighbor, a good farmer and
worthy citizen, R. c. Johns, was
buried at old st. Johns church. We
all will miss you, Clarence.
Then old Joe, the faithful old
horse, living high and little work,
passed a buggy on the road to Olar,
the better half driving, the two bug
gies coming in collision, sending
Mrs. Haddock with little babe of
only few months out and in ditch
on one side, the Madam in one on
the other. Both SCARED and bruis-
ed, but not seriously hurt, while the
little babe received not even a
scratch, and as the little fellow
laughed and cooed came the thought,
"and little babe shall lead them"
Soon the old horse was driven back
and all brought home, bruised but
thankful. On being asked how 1t
happened, she said: II looked back
at two girls and then it was" Lots
wife looked back and she, too, came
to grief, so remember now, you
are growing old, don't look back
Yes, darling, we are growing old,
Locks no longer black and gold.
Cheeks not as they used to be
" But you are always young to me"
Several of the young folks were in
our little neighborhood yesterday.
Miss Minnie Lee Aver and Miss Irene
Keel frightened Miss Cresida Bre-
lands home with their presence, Mr.
and Mrs. G. B. Kearse, of Kearse,
spent a few hours with us; also Miss
Elouise Brabham and Mrs Frank
Starr, of Olar, came down to see
mother. How it cheers to have the
flown birds come back and be with
those left in the old cage, if only for
a day. OLD TIMER.

Democrats Win in Maryland.

Baltimore, Nov. 5.-OWing to the
long and cumbersome ballot returns
from the election in Maryland were
still incomplete this morning. The
indications, however, we're that Blair
Lee, Democrat, was elected to the
United States senate by a plurality of
about 10000 and that the Democrat
ic state ticket would do nearly IS
we'll
The Democrats claim a plurality of
three-fourths in each house of the
legislature. This would be sufficient
to override any votes of the Republi-
can governor, Goldsborough.
The progressive vote fell off heav-
lily. In Baltimore it was less than
7 per cent. of the vote cast for Theo-
dore Roosevelt for president last
year.

Girl of the Period.

Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear a shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear petty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose,
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet.
With your dress so very tight,
You surely are an awful sight.
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Cant you wecr more underclo'es
Than your corset and your hose?
After while. l do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve.
