Governor Manning today in tele-
gram to his secretary, o. K. LaRooue,
in response to the telegram sent to
him yesterday advising him of the
petition from the Charleston mothers.
The telegram was sent by the Gov
crnor from Philadelphia where he is
spending the day with relatives be-
fore going to New York, where he
expects to spend Monday and Tues
day on personal business. The tcle-
gram from Governor Manning indi-
Gates a hope on the part of the chief
executive that he will be successful
in securing the early return of the
four units of the South Carolina
Guard now on the borGcr.
The Governor telegram is an fol-

FIRST SERMON BY NEW PASTOR
leevrahJ.os'R. Inabnet Heard at the
Spring Street Church.

Sunday, morning to a wcll-hlled
auditorium, the Rev. j. =. mabnct
preached his first sermon as pastor
Of the Spring Street Methodist
church. Mr.. Inabnrt took for his
text the third chapter Of the Acts of
the Apostles, sixth verse: "rhcn
Peter said, silver and gold have
none; but such as have give thee"
The pastor pointed out that under
the itincrant system Of the Mctho-
dist Church, he had been sent by the
recent South Carolina Conference to
this pastoratc; and under that Sys-
tenn. like other ministers Of the same
faith, he had been accorded no voice
in his appointment. However, he said
he was certain that no mistake had
been made, and he was glad of the
opportunity of serving in this new
field.
After reviewing the career Of this
historic church, Mr.. Inaonct rcmin,icd
his hearers of the fact that some Of
the greatest figures in South Carolina
McthodiSm had in the past served as
pastors Of the Spring street Church.
lie stated, however, that il must be
remembered that Of all the millions Of
inhabitants of this globe, no two per
sons were created alike. For that
reason, he said, it should not be cx-
pcctci that he would be exactly like
any of his prcdcccsso. bat in the
language of his text, "Such as have,
| give thee"
The members Of the church are
greatly pleased at the fact Of having
had Mr.. lnabnct assigned to this
charge, and a successful year for pas
tor and people seems fully assured

yard was conclusive that he h I'd been

satisfied he will succc ID, as he ger

Last Monday night n2ar Davis
Station, supposedly at an early hour,
Mr.. Shuford Ward, highly respect
ed and hard working farmer, was
murdered while he lay in bed asleep.
This crime is one of the most cold
bloodcd and atrocious ever committed
IN Clarendon Colnty. A nephew of
Mr.. Ward went over to his house
yesterday morning, AMI as he walked
IN his uncle's room found him dead
in bel, wit hhis head beat in, evil

lie then went out and gave the alarm
and i, few minutcs IA crowd congrc

edy. The sheriff was notified and he
at on:e left for the scene Mr.. Ed
Gamble followed with his bloodhounds
and "oon after arriving, which was
probably sixteen hours after the mur-
dcrcr had gone, the dogs struck a
trail @@l col.owc! i to The hoysc of
James Lawson, colored After trail
ing through the house and out into
the yard several times, the chase was
given up, as the fresh buggy tracks
was evidence that Lawson got in a
buggy and rode away. From all re-
ports this negro bears a bad reDu-
tation around that community. Some
~" NiNS ago ne was arrested charr-
ed with selling whiskcy, but managed
to get bond, and was under bond
when he committed this hcnious
crime. 1t is said that he had tried to
borrow money from several people
around Davis Station, to leave on.
Mr.. Ward being one he asked for Il
loan. but was refused.
Mr.. Ward is supposed to have had
between three and four hundred dol
lars in his house, and as this negro
was familiar with the place, and
knew he did not lock the doors at
night, waited until he retired, and
entered the house with robbery and
murder in his heart. Mr. Wards
head was crushed with an axe. as
the bloody axe was round in Law
sons yard, and showed signs Of an
attempt to wash the blood Off.
When the dogs carried the sheriff
TO the house of Lawson, his wife
was asked where he was, said she did
not know, as she ha0 not seen him
