WHITE man AT ROSMAN
kosman. N. c., July A.-Bryant
morrison, a young white man
eighteen years of age, is lying at
nome, probably fatally wounded
and Henry Cabe, a negro, more fa.
mlllarly known as Shorty" is in
Jail at GTeenville, S. c., as the re-
suit of shooting affray that took
place here last night. The negro
claims he fired in self-defense and
the wounded man is not able to
make statement. Feeling has nm
high, an officials are fearful of con-
sequences in case young Morrison
should die. Cabe will be brouoht
TO brevard. the county seat tomor-
row.
Details of the shooting are still a
little vague. The only def;n;te
point established so far is that
Cabe shot young Morrison and tha,
Morrison is dangerously wounded.
D' Charles E. Lyday, who attend.
I'd the wounded man save ha h.. .
chance for recovery. but does not
noid out any great amount of en-
couraeement. The shooting is said
TO have taken place at warehouse
near Mulfs pool room, where, it is
c'aine g crowd of young white
men were assembled. The shot
penetrated Morrisons left breast
and emerged through the right side.
The first known of the shooting
was the call that came to Dr. I.v.
day. One of the young men who
nad been in the party telephoned
tor a doctor, telling him that Nor,
rlson had been shot. The injured
man was taken to his home and
posse of citizens immediately
took up the search for Shorty"
Cabe. All night the posse secured
the woods and watched every road
leading from Rosman. in the hone
OF capturing the negro. In the
meantime, detailed description Of
the missing negro had been wired
to all the nearby points in Western
North Carolina.
Early today Sheriff Roark. Of
Pickens, county, South Carolin.
found a strange negro skulkine
around the streets of Greenyille
From the description furnished hv
the Rosman authorities the sheriff
decided that the negro was Cabe.
and accordingly placed him under
arrest. The negro, under question
ing OF the sheriff, is said to have
admitted shooting young Morrison
out to have claimed self defense on
the ground that the crowd with
Morrison had thrown rocks at him
This story the officials have not
been able to verify.
The shooting has aroused a ereat
deal of excitement in and around
kosman. and although the neero !.
to be placed in Jail at Brevard to-
morrow. it is quite likely that in
case the wounds Of young Morrison
prove fatal. the negro will be rush
ed to Asheville for safe keeping.
Although Morrison was still alive
at midnight tonight. Dr.. Lyday was
far from optimistic REGARDING his
condition. The bullet entered the
LETT breast of the young man, pass4
Ing entirely through his chest. and
came out on the right side.
Rev. Edwin r. H. Harris of this
city was in Asheville Thursday.

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE

Sunday, August /, at IL o'clock
the Western Carolina Bible Center.
ence opens with sermon at the
Auditorium at Sylvia. It is not
known definitely who will deliver
this sermon, but it is sufficient to
know that it will be worth your
while. The Conference will con-
tinue the entire week including Sum-
day, August 8.
This Conference was the fine
conception of Rev, Thad F. Deitz
and DR.. Caleb A. Ridley.
These pro 'ressive youny men
saw that their home-the mid
montane section-was somewhat
removed from the great egeeaters of
religious activity. particularly in
the matter of conventions accessi-
BILE to the mass, and they resolved
to remedy this by establishing a
local conference with Sylvia as it's
base.
This is the third year of the con-
ference. The two conferences past
have proven decided su cesses and
the annual meeting seems to have
become a fixed and permanent in
stitution. 4:

1t was the original and unaltera-
BILE will of the founders that the
Conference should be non-sectarian,
and SO it is in fact. Bap1ists, Meth
odists and all Protestant denomina-
tons are free to participate. The
spirit of brotherhood and coopera-
ton are the broadest consistent
with Christian character.
The object of the Conference is
Christian education, touching the
essentials of Christian faith as pred
icated upon the Bible. hence the
name: Bible Conference" Its de-
liberations are necessarily non-con-
troyersial in spirit and practice. It
will bring together men and women
of distinguished talent and thorough
equipment along special lines of
Christian work and the interchange
of information and experience will
be of very great value.
The premier feature of the week
will be the series of great SER
mons that will be delivered at the
regular hours in the morning and
evening of each day. In fact the
main study of the scriptures will
assume the form of these sermons
and no one, old or young, can do
his soul justice and miss them.
The song services, too,. will be
conducted under the leadership of
a trained singer and in itself will
