Killed for Burglar.

Greenville, August 12:-Mistaken
for a burglar. Roy Smith, the eight
year-old son of Sam Smith, well
known farmer of the Fork Shoals
section, was shot and instantly killed
last night by his brother-in-law, Jno
Sullivan, at the latter's home. The
Coroner's jury returned a verdict
that the shooting was accidental,
thus generating Sullivan.
The little boy had gone to spend
the night at the home of his BROTH
er-in-law, a short distance from his
fathers house. The family had gone
to bed about 11:30 o'clock. Mr. Sui
livar was aroused by a noise at the
back door. Taking his gun,he went
to the door and. seeing dark shad-
ow, came to the conclusion that q
burglar was trying to break in. He
opened fire and killed the youth al
most Immediately.
Upon investigation, Mr. Sullivan
was mortified to find that he had
killed his little brother-in-law.

District Sunday-School Meeting
..Death of Rev.W.H.ThrO

Salters, August 13:-The district
Sunday.school institute which was
held at Union church August 9 was
much enjoyed by all. Though the
absence of the district superintend-
ents and other workers was a great
disappointment to US, yet Mr. w M
O'Bryan and Hon w D Bryan, who
had charge of the work, conducted it
admirably. A bountiful dinner was
spread and enjoyed by all. We hope
it will meet with US again.
Crops throughout this section are
very poor, no improvement of conse-
quence since the storm and heavy
rains of last month. 1t is gratifying
to know that the government has
taken hold of the matter and will
furnish aid to those in need and work
on the public roads for the next few
months as a means of helping the
destitute. We sincerely hope that
the fund will be judiciously expended
by those having tine work in charge.

In statement issued yesterday the
United Mine Workers defended their
demands upon the operators:
From all parts Of the country come
accounts Of shortage Of anthracite. with
increased prices and profits. in which
the miners do not share. The demands
Of the miners, however, are not based
on the necessities Of the operators In
the absence of stores Of anthI acite;
they are justified by the necessities Of
the miners themselves"

Later Mr.. LoveJoy submitted the fol-
lowing reply TO the textile association:
First, We have no funds 10 support
poor families. Do you wish us to ur-
derstand that the commemorative you
represent are SO impoverished that the
burden Of family support must rest on

lstors Of the law, and especially 20 the
conviction Of employees rather than

the question Of revenue rather than the

Increased Demand and Belief in
Trouble with Miners Are
Causes of Scare.

Anticipating trouble in coal mines
early in the spring, provident buyers
are laying in huge supplies Of coal.
The general feeling among large con-

is that the country will face shortage
of fuel within two months. Inc long
statement issued Thursday by the rep
resentatives of nineteen important
anthracite coal mining companies, IN
which they forecasted fiat denial or
nearly all the demands Of the miners,
which are TO be formally presented TO
the operators on February Il, did not
lessen the haste with which large con-
sumers were filing their coal store
rooms.
Mute testimony to this shortage
scare is borne BY gigantic piles OF coal,
heaped in unusual open-alr bins
throughout the city. A peep over the
high wooden fence that surrounds CO.
lumbia Universitys athletic field reveals
eight tennis courts buried beneath ten
feet of coal, and the heap IL being
added 70, none being taken from it for
use. Every coal bunker at the uni
yersity is filed.
Just across the street the usually
carefully kept lawn of st. Luke's hos
pital is likewise covered with an ir-
regular mound Of coal. In the Jersey
hills there is a small mountain Of black.
