CAPTAIN DWIGHT DEAD

Columbia, Sept. Capt Charles
Stevens Dwight, for many years a
resident of Columbia, died yesterday
afternoon at the home of his son-in-
law, G. F. Patton, in Winnsboro. His
many friends here and throughout
the state will keenly regret to hear Of
his passing; for, though in his s8th
year, it was difficult to associate the
idea of death with one of such buoy
ant and patriotic spirit, with mental
faculty undimmed by years, and ar
dent interest in all great happenings
the world over.
Born at his fathers plantation in
St. Johns Berkeley, July II, 1884;
the son of Isaac Marion and Martha
(Porcher) Dwight, he was nurtured
in the best traditions of his Puritan
and Huguenot forbears-and so his
character and career was clean and
brave and sweet his whole life long.

DIFFERENCE IN TESTIMONY.


Atlanta, Sept. GA bitter and
long standing feud between Jack
Pierce, thirty-eight years old, Of 70S
Chestnut street, and Harry ]. Will
liams, ffty-one years old, who lives
in a tent on Simpson street, had a
tragic ending early Sunday after
noon when their wives and children
saw williams win a desperate death
battle in front of the Simpson street
tent. T..
According to eye witnesses, while
Mrs. Pierce struggled to separate the
infrfisted men, Williams wife rush
ed between them and placed a pistol
in her husbands. hands, which he
promptly used, shooting Pierce four
times, all four bullets taking effect.
Death was almost instantaneous.
Williams went Immediately to the
Fulton Tower and surrendered, de-
claring in statement to officers that
he fired the fatal, shots in self. de-
tense. -, e.. ..:-,s
Mrs. Pierce was prostrated and
was declared by physicians Monday
morning to be in a critical condi-
ton at her home on Chestnut street.
She and her oldest daughter, Willie
May, in a statement to a Journal re-
porter, declared that Williams fired
without provocation. Mrs. Pierce
declared she would have a warrant
sworn out against Mrs. Williams
charging her with being an accessory
No warrant had been issued at the
time of this edition. E... w.
Stories of the affair as told by Will
liams and his wife and by members
Of the Pierce family, vary widely.
Williams, in his cell in the tower, de-
clared he was seated in front Of his
tent reading a book, when Pierce ap-
preached and began to curse and
abuse him, and that when Pierce
tried to hit him in the head with
large rocks, he took the pistol from
his wife and fired to save his own
life. Mrs. Williams corroborated
this tory in detail.
Mrs. Pierce, her children, and
other witnesses who were interview
ed by city detectives, said the Pierce
family was spending the day with q
family on Simpson street who re-
sided less than fifty yards from the
Williams tent.
Bitter feeling had existed between
the two men for many months and
had recently been intensified by
heated words between the, two at
the municipal curb market week
ago, according to police reports.
Both men were fruit and vegetable
peddlers and had regular stands on
the curb market produce row-
Mrs. Pierce said her husband.
while eating dinner, remarked that
it was time to settle his little differ
ences with Williams and become his
friend. She declared her husband
approached Williams immediately
after the meal was over in the hope
