Junior-Intermediate League.

The seniors reluctantly gave up
some of their fellow members to the
Junior-Intermediate organization,
since some of them have been faith
full members of our league. But We
feel that they are in the organization
which is primarily theirs. They can
rightly claim this as their very own.
1t is reasonable to suppose that your
boys and girls will work together
more effectively, more successfully, in
an organization which has been FORM
ed for them than in chapter where
the "grown-ups" take the lead and
leave very little responsibility to be
shouldered by their younger brothers
and sisters.
You know, friends, children love
to do, if you will only direct them a
bit. Give them a consecrated leader
and they will work so we'll that you
will be agreebly surprised. Show them
a chance. Now, the thing for you
fathers and mothers to do is to stand
by your children. Let them feel that
you have an ever-growing, deep in
terest in their work and the ultimate
results which are sure to be.
This league work will be worth
much to our church if you will help
her and the children to see its real
worth. The training which comes
from faithful effort just along this
line between the ages of nine and
sixteen years will compensate for all
the hard work it calls for. Then
urge your child to become an active
member of this league. See that he
or she attends regularly, and you will
have been performing a large duty
you owe the child.

NEGRO KILLED BY WHITE MEN.
Luck Williams Riddled With Bullets
BY Martin Myers and Son.

Luck Williams, negro living just
over the line in Orangeburg county,
was ON Sunday morning shot and in
stantly killed By Martin Myers and
his son, Frank. Another son, Ellie
Myers, is said to have also been I'M
plicated. The shooting occurred
about daybreak Sunday at Williams
house while he was tending to his
stock.
There appeared to be conflicting
stories regarding the cause OF the
homicide. 1t is alleged that the kill
ing was the result of most revolt
ing state of affairs. Myers and his
sons are residents of Bamberg cour-
ty, few miles from Williams home.
Myers and his son, Frank, have
been arrested and are in the Orange
burg county Jail. awaiting prelin1i-
merry hearing. Ellie Myers had not
been arrested a day or two ago.
1t is stated that the men went to
the home of Williams Sunday morn
ing, and upon their arrival found
Williams at the stables feeding his
stock. They are alleged to have
opened fire upon the negro, riddling
him with bullets, killing him instant
ly. Williams daughter, hearing the
shooting, appeared in the doorway of
the house with rifle in her hand,
presumably to protect her father, and
the men fired upon her, probably
causing fatal wounds. A negro boy,
who was standing near, also received
buckshot from one of the guns,
but it is not thought his injury is
serious.

Epworth League Happenings.

For reasons the young people con-

our meetings regularly through all
of the summer months. You may
question our reason. We'll, for one.
all of our officers and many of our
members were away for most Of the
time, for various causes, consequent
tv, rather than drag through in a
half-hearted way, we did not meet
each week for most of July and Au-
gust.
With the coming of fall, when there
seems to be more life within US, and
we feel encouraged and inspired to
begin anew the work which awaits US,
we came together again.
The outlook for dependable, effect
i've service seems bright. While We
have given some of our members to
the nior-Intermediate chapter, we
have added new names to our roll.
officers recently elected are as fol-
lows:
President, Mr.. Swain Merchant;
vice president, Miss Mary Livingston;
rec. secretary, Miss Alma Davis; cor.
secretary, Miss Bessie Lee Black !;
treasurer, to be elected at once;

There are various committees. The
names of members of said committees
will have to be given later.
