DEATH
FROM GUNSHOT WOUND
Colored Boy Instantly Killed When
He Falls into Trap Set by
Himself.

Odell Gore, a colored boy, living
with Mr.. w. NJ. Jones in Bogansville
township, had the top of his head
blown off and died instantly Sunday
morning by the accidental discharge
of shotgun.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were not at
home, in fact, had been in Spartan
burg for week Or more, where Mrs.
Jones is in the hospital. George Gore
and his son, Odell Gore, were left in
charge of the premises in the absence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones. Suspecting
that the house was being entered by
thieves, Gore and his son set trap
by placing shotgun and tying
string to the trigger and to the door
knob. The trap was set early in the
week. On Sunday morning the boy
went to house to turn out the tur-
keys and, forgetting the placing of
the gun, opened the door. The whole
load of shot, No. 6, penetrated the
forehead of the boy, killing him in
stantly.
An inquest was held with the ver-
dict that the deceased "came to his
death from an accidental discharge of
a shotgun by his own hand"

TO FORT OGLETHORPE.

The Columbia Record in writing of
the men from various sections of the
State going to the training camp at
ft. Oglethorpe has this to say about
our boys:
Union county, not satisfied with
the fine record that she had already
set up of having furnished more than
its quota for the army, gave several
of her best men to the second train
ing camp. These joined the contin-
gent at Union. There was also large
crowd of citizens at this station to
bid their representatives au revoir."
