ONE NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER.
Ben Sheppard Killed Mack Robinson
at Church Near Olar.

Ben Sheppard shot and killed Mack
Robinson at a negro church near
Olar Sunday. Coroner Zeigler held
the inquest. Sheppard was later ar
rested and is now in Jail. Only one
witness, Wilbur Orr, was examined,
and his testimony follows:
Il and Mack Robinson were sit
ting in the buggy together. Jim
Sheppard's boy and Jane Trotti's
boys were fussing. Jim Sheppard
was off and he heard them and walk
ed up and made his boys go in the
church. Ben Sheppard came where
Robinson and | were sitting. He
said Jim Sheppard was coward and
he would kill any man about his
children. Robinson said BE quiet,
Ben, don't go on that way. Ben
pulled his pistol and but it back in
his pocket; asked Robinson if he
did not like it. Robinson said he
was not mad at all with him. Robin
son got out of the buggy. Two or
three other fellows-John Jackson
and Boss Robinson-two of them,
came up to the buggy. They told
Robinson to get back in the buggy
and have no fuss here. He got back
in the buggy. Ben went off from;
the buggy, cursing Robinson; told
him that he had done enough to me
for me to kill you in cold blood, and if
had pulled my pistol like you, 1
would have shot you Jim Sheppard
told Robinson not to notice Ben, he
must be foolish or gone crazy. Rob-
inson got out of the buggy again,
and said he wanted to talk with Ben,
and for him to give him satisfaction.
Ben was then about ten or fifteen
steps from the buggy. Robinson
went to him and a crowd gathered
about them. l don't know what
was said. 1 saw them talking. Ben
had his pistol in his hand. Robinson
had his right hand in his pocket; Ben
had his pistol up. They both stepped
back; I saw the smoke of Ben's
pistol Ben came trotting around
the buggy and said that If did not
get you l will get you Both of
them were shooting. l saw Robin
son after he was shot and heard him
say He has got me- don't know
how many shots were fired, but a
good many Mack did not have a
pistol in his hand when he got out
of the buggy and went to Ben. I
saw Mack's pistol after Ben had
shot. Ben shot first; after that
don't know who shot. Ben did not
appear to be drinking.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:
Please withdraw my card of an
nouncement for the House. Since
seeing you, I have been requested by
a high-up Mason, living in another
State, to contribute something more
to Masonic literature; that my arti-
cles along that line have attracted
much attention in almost every part
of the Union. l have consented, and
this will require elaborate research,
much thought and some care: Then
l have other "irons in the fire" which,
may "burn up" if 1 undertake too
much. Very truly,
