Bozeman did go to church and then
the trouble began. Bozeman claims
that the father Of Matthew Jones saw
him when he drove up to the church
and informed him that Matthew was
inside and that he intended telling
him. This Is denied by Jones's ia
ther, but be that as it may, Jones
came out with a stick in his hand
and an alteration ensued, during
which it is said that Jones attempted
to strike Bozeman with a heavy
stick, whereupon BoZeman fired
twice. The first shot struck Jones on
the bridge OF the nose, penetrating
the face, while the second took effect
In the neck. 1t is probable that
either shot would have been sufficient
to cause death.
Coroner Hardin was summoned
and yesterday morning the inquest
was held, at which time it was testi-
fled that some negro in the crowd at
the church took a pistol out of
Jones's pocket after he had already
fallen to the ground. If he had a
pistol when he went to the church
this statement must be true, because
when the officers searched the body
they did not find any weapon.
The shooting took place about 10
o'clock Sunday night at Mt Olive
church, which is near the Lawrence
Chamblee place, and there the in .
quest was held yesterday morning.
Bozeman lives on the McCown
plantation, and Mr.. McCown says
that he Is an honest, hard-working
negro and that he has always borne
a good reputation.

1000 SEE CAMPAIGN FIGHT.
Candidates for AdiItant General
Come to Blows at YOrkyiIIc.

Yorkville, Aug. en-. G.. Willis
and his opponent, Adjt. Gen. w. w.
Moore, came to blows on the stand
here this morning. Capt. Willis, who
lives here, had dubbed as a false
hood what he says was Cen Moores
statements attacking his veracity.
Gen. Moore planted a blow which fell
on Capt. Willis ear, the latter plant
ing one in return on Gen. Moore's
face. The chairman and police sepa-
rated the combatants after more
blows had passed. An excited crowd
rushed to the stand and partisans Of
Capt. Willis frantically demanded
that Gen. Moore be removed. 1t took
appeals from both the chairman and
Capt. Willis before the crowd would
let Gen. Moore speak, and he apollo
gized to the corwd, but said he would
always resent insults.
Nearly 1000 people saw the fight
which worked the crowd upto a high
pitch Of excitement.
The candidates for Railroad Com
missioner smoothed down the ruff
fled feelings by giving the crowd
some good jokes.

SHIPS IN DANGER OF CAPTURE.
ErGiishmen Feel that Good Inroad
on Them Has Been Made.

London, Aug. Cit is estimated
that when England declared war on
Germany there were 1000 German
steamships and 5000 German sailing
ships on the high seas. Englishmen
feel that good inroad on these was
made on the first day Of the war
when more than 20 German vessels
were seized.
The Morning Post proposes that
England resume her rights of captur-
ing all cargoes destined for hostile
countries under whatever flag the
vessel may be sailing.
While most of the papers to-day
counsel the courteous treatment of
Germans who are compelled to re-
main in England, the Daily Mail
urges a vigorous application of the
law controlling aliens, saying:
'There are too many Germans in
England and unless they are kept
under close observation their pres
ence may be source of great dan
ger"
A series Of royal proclamations
were published to-day. They revoke
the prohibition against the importa-
tion of arms into Ireland; set forth
the illegality of trading with an enc
my; prohibit British vessels carry
ing contraband Of war between for
eign ports and declare that British
subjects contributing to loan
raised on behalf Of the German EN-
peror or contracting with the Ger
man government will be guilty of
high treason

PRESIDENT OFFERS SERVICES
To Rulers OF Warning European
Countries i'm Interest of Peace.

Washington, Aug. 5.-President
Wilson to-day offered his good offices
to all the powers involved in the
war. He sent the following message
to Emperor William, Emperor Mich
olas, Emperor Franz Joseph, Presi-
dent Poincare and King George
LAS official head Of one Of the pow
ers signatory to The Haugue Conven-
ton, / feel it to be my privilege and
my duty under Article of that con-
vention to say to you, in a spirit of
most earnest friendship, that
should welcome an opportunity to
act in the interest of European peace
either now or at any other time that
might be thought more suitable, as
an occasion to serve you and all con-
cerned in a way that would afford
me lasting cause for gratitude and
happiness. (Signed):
Woodrow Wilson,"
The proffer Of good offices was for
warded by Secretary Bryan to the
American embassies in the nations
involved, and through them trans
mitted to the governments.
1t was said at the White House no
intimations had been received that
such an offer would be favorably re-
ceived. President Wilson took the
position that the European war was
so stupendous, and that it's effect on
the entire world was liable to be so
lasting, that the United States, as
one Of the few large neutral powers,
could not do otherwise than at least
offer to be the means for bringing
about peace.
The proffer Of good Offices was not
sent to the governments Of Servia
and Montenegro because these coun-
tries are not parties to The Hague
convention.
a hope that the Presidents offer
might be accepted was prevalent in
official circles because it is not nee
essary for any Of the warning powers
to change the present military status
if they accept it. Article of The
Hague Convention provides: "The
acceptance Of mediation cannot, un-
less there be an agreement to the
contrary, have the effect Of inter-
rupting, delaying or hindering mo-
bilization or other measures or prep
arations for war. If it takes place
after the commencement Of hositli-
ties the military operations in pro-
gress are not Interrupted in the alb
sence of an agreement to the con-
trary."
The first step the United States
would make in che event of a gene
raj acceptance Of its proposal, would
be to suggest a suspension Of hostili-
ties. This would not involve any
interrul ton or delay ir mobiliza-
ton or measures of preparation for
war.

Another Miraculous Healing.
(Tugaolo Tribune, 4th,D


d. "A. Mulkey, Westminster's shoe
maker, informed us yesterday that
his wife was healed by faith and
through prayer last Friday after
noon. The miracle, Mr.. Mulkey
says, occurred at $50 p. m., while
he was at her bedside administering
to her wants. Mrs. Mulkey had been
confined to her bed for the past six
weeks and her recovery was consid-
cred very doubtful She has been
suffering with pellagra and was un-
able 10 eat anything except a little
soup. Mr.. Mulkey says while he was
tanning his wife she sat up il the
bed. After a short prayer by Mr..
Mulkey and wife she got up and
said she was completely cured She
is now able to dress herself and eat
what she pleases. Mr.. Mulkey says
the only thing about his wife to in
dicate sickness now is the loss of
flesh by her long illness. Mrs. Null
key says God has wonderfully healed
her and she is going to give the re-
mainder Of her life IN His service, as
there is work here for her to do.

STATE CANDIDATE ARRESTED.
Exhibited Commission as State Con-
stable When He Was "PulIed."

A dispatch from Columbia under
date Of August 8 says
c. d. Fortner, Of Spartanburg, cam
didate for railroad commissioner,
was arrested Friday night by the city
police on the charge of drunk and
disorderly conduct and carried to the
police station, where he left a bond
of $5.75 for his appearance in court.
Fortuer failed to appear and his
bond was forfeited.
According to information contain-
ed in the police records Fortner was
found drunk and acting in q disor-
derly manner in the club room of
William Poa, called the Arlington
Club, 1915 Main street. The arrest
was made by officer S. f. Strickland,
assisted by Officer S. s. Shorter.
1t is understood that Fortner.
when arrested, produced a commits
sion as constable, signed by Governor
Blease, and declared that as con-
stable he could not be arrested. He
war carried to the station, however,
Notwithstanding this protest.
Fortner has been member of the
House Of Representatives for the past
two sessions from Spartanburg
county.
How About Two Jobs?
The Columbia Record, referring to
the above incident, says:
when G. d. Fortner, candidate
for railroad commissioner, was ar
raigned in the recorders court the
other day on some charge or other,
the newspaper reports said that he
produced a commission from Cover
nor Blease as a member of the State
constabulary. Is Mr.. Fortner a men,
her Of the disrensary secret service?'
and how does his employment as a
constable, while he is member of
the Legislature, comport with the
constitutional provision that pro-
hib.ts one person from holding more
than one office Of profit and emolu-
ment on the States pay-roll?"
