One Negro Boy Killed Another.

Saturday afternoon Monroe john
son, a negro boy 10 years of age,
shot and instantly killed John Oil
plant, another negro boy II years Of
age. They resided near Pleasant
Grove church. 1t seems that the two
boys were left at home together and
about two o'clock Saturday afternoon
the shooting occurred. Whether acct
dental or whether the crime was COM
mitted in a fit of temper, is not
known. But very probably it was ac-
cidental. After Monroe shot John he
dragged his body some distance from
the house and placed it in a gulley,
stating that he did this because he
was frightened. The shotgun was fired
at close range, the entire load passing
through the little boys body. An in
quest was held by magistrate j. B.
Tompkins Monday and the verdict CT
the jury was to the effect that John
Oliphant died of a gunsbot wound in
hicted by Monroe Johnson, who was
placed in jail. At The inquest and af-
ter being placed i'll Jail the youthful
SLAYER seemed not to realize that ne
had committed a dreadful crime.

A new name has recently been
added to Edgefeld's list of celebri-
ties. We refer to that of Mrs. Alleen
Smith who is making a name and
fame for herself as a composer of
songs. The words of her song, 81
Want a Little Sister," have recently
Ebeen set to- music by George Graft,
Jr., one of the foremost musical COM
posers Of the day, and printed by
the World Music Publishing Corpora
tion Of New York. Mrs. Smith has
also composed other songs that will
be issued from the press in a short
time. The words of the above song
are as follows:
"Mama," said a bright faced lad,
I'd be so happy if I had,
A little sister of my own,
So I'd not have to play alone,
"Then pray to God in Heaven above,
He sends us little ones to love-"
Chorus
Oh bod I want a little sister,
l wants her, oh, so bad
I'll give her all my playthings
And everything / has
Now bod please send my sister,.
And send her right away
Just tell me where I'll find her,
In the house OF in the hay.
Sister, have you come to stay?
Oh, Pm so glad, let's go and play,
But Mama took the little one,
And said "She's very much too
young"
"Well Mama, I'll call bod and say,
l want a sister what can play"

passed by Congress. He also said his
office was collecting the names of thou
sands whom, if it is possible. he will

During his speech. Davis reiterated
his previous pleas for selective immi-
grafton, giving as his chief reason the
alleged danger of an invasion of radical
propagandists. lie called for the pas

which would make the deportation of
radicals an easier matter.
