NEGRO KILLED AT FLORENCE.
Suspicious Behavior Finally ENDS in
Il Fatal Shooting.

Florence, Nov. 30.-lIenry Wilson
a negro. was shot and killed last
night at the home Of Archie Snipes,
white. on East Palmetto street, this
city, and Mr. Snipes is charged with
the killing. The jury OF inquest,
held soon after the killing, returned
verdict Of justiiiable homicide
From the testimony submitted to
the jury it seems that Wilson went
to Mr.. Snipes' home early yesterday
morning making out he was hunting
for negro girl. He was informed
by Mrs. Snipes that she was not
there and that she knew nothing Of
Maggie Gurley, the girl he claimed
he was hunting for.
In the afternoon Wilson again vis-
tied the premises and Mrs Snipes
saw him approaching the house
through the back yard. When she
spoke to him about his being there
he is said to have made some insult
ing remarks and she ordered him
from the premises.
When Mr.. Snipes came in from his
days work as a yard conductor OH
the Atlantic Coast Line yards here,
Mrs. Snipes told him Of the action Of
the negro. Soon after that the negro
again visited the premises and came
to the front door. Mr.. Snipes went
to see what he wanted and he is al
legged to have made an attempt to en-
ter the house when Mr.. Snipes shot
him dead.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for trlt1e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in eavening power.
If cheap baking powder IS used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bal<-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and it's use therefore, results in
