MCCORMICK JURY
FREES REYNOLDS

Mccormick, June 21.-J. w. Rey-
nolds, charged with the murder May
30 of w. r. E. Winn. was acquitted
here today, me jury requiring three
hours and 40 minutes to reach its
verdict of not guilty. The trial of
the case consumed only one day.
A plea of self defense was set up
by the defendant, who testified that
he had repeatedly warned Winn not
to come back to his house or on his
place, but admitted that bad feeling
had existed between them because of
alleged rowdyism of Winn while un-
der the influence of whiskey. The de
fendant stated on the witness stand
that Winn had been to his home and
in the field earlier in the morning,
that he had ordered him away, that
Winn had gone off cursing and say
ing that he would go home and get
his gun and return and that Rey-
nolds had better prepare to meet him.
Reynolds said that Winn came back
with his gun while he was in the corn
crib shucking corn and drew the gun
on him. Winn left, Reynolds said,
saying that he was not satisfied and
that he had come there that morning
to kill or be killed. About 20 minutes
later Reynolds, according to the tes-
timony, went to spring about 100
yards away to get some water, carry
ing his gun loaded with buckshot.
AS the defendant neared the spring,
he stated, he saw Winn hiding in a
clump of bushes about so yards
away, with his gun drawn as if ready
to shoot. Reynolds testified that he
felt that his life was in danger and
fired two loads of buckshot at the
man in rapid succession.
The state made much of the fact
that the defendant waited until two
or three hours before notifying any
one that he had killed Winn and of
the condition in which the deceased
was found, grasping the gun with
one hand and with two shells in the
other hand and the absence of blood
on the ground to corroborate the de-
fendant's contention that Winn was
killed at that spot.
Both men were prominent farmers,
the defendant a citizen of Mccormick
county, while Winn was a resident of
Edgefield, just across the line from
Mccormick.

CHINESE TROOPS
SLAY THOUSANDS

ShohBhai, June Il tby the ASSOcl-
ated Press).-Between 10000 and 49,
600 northern forces sent against Sun
Vat Sens army in Kiangsi province
mutinied at Kiangfu, burned portions
of Kiangfu and other nearby cities
and killed thousands of the residents,
according to unconfirmed but appar-
emily authoritative reports from vari-
Gus sources at Hankow and Nam
chang. The troops were under COM
rand of Gen. Tsai Chen Hsun, mill
tary commander of Peking.
The rebellious soldiers are reported
marching back northward and nearing
Changshu XII, a city about 100 miles
north of Kiangfu and SO miles north
Of Nanchang.
A dispatch from Hankow says the
British gunboat Cockchafer is speed
ing up the Kan river toward Nan
chang to bring out the foreign resi-
dents. The American gunboat Mon
ocacy is coaling at Kiukiang and will
proceed to Nanchang as soon as pos
sible. The American gunboats Isabel
and Quiros and the British gunboats
Bee and Foxglove are held in readi-
ness at Kiukiang to rush to the dis.
turbed area if necessary to protect
nationals.
The situation at Canton is quiet but
ominous. Messages from adherents
Of Sun Vat Sens southern govern
ment at Canton and Hong Kong said
Sun has ordered his main force IN
Kiangsi to abandon the expedition
against the north and return to Can
ton. Sun, WI Ting Fang and other
leaders of the Canton government are
reported to be still aboard Chinese
warships In the neighborhood Of Can
ton awaiting the return Of the Kiangsi
army. II Sun persists in his determi-
nation to regain control of Canton
from Chen Chung Ming, who drove
him out last week, the return of these
troops may precipitate serious fight
ing for possession of the city. The
report that SUMS army is to return to
Canton was given color tonight by

eating fighting in Kiangsi province

SUNFLOWER TO MAKE BOW
 IN BRITISH ARlSTOCRACl

CALGARY, Oct 25.-Sunflowers, in ligenous to several parts of the United States ar etc be taken up by English lraistocracy. Next year they proba- ply will be growing on the estate ot he Earl of Stafford and holding their American heads over the hedge rows, will look British noblemen in the eye.
 The Earl of Strafford was one of party of members of the British par liament visiting Canada. While in Calgary he was taken to a farm near Strathmore where he witnessed the harvesting of the sunflower crop.
 The earl, an extensive farmer and stock raiser was so impressed with the value of sunflowers as silage for winter feed that he announced his in tention of introducing them into Eng land and giving them trial next year on his estate.
