Spartanburg, Sept. 5.-A. Mason
DuPre, president Of the State Teach

nlunication to the school trustees Of

set to open September y, the very
day of the second primary. This will
necessarily take a large number Of
teachers from their voting precincts
and will prevent their voting. Our
teachers, both by precept and exam
pie. have a very responsible duty Of
teaching patriotism 70 cur children
of the state. They should not, there
fore, be prevented from exercising
this most sacred right and duty Of
casting their ballots next Tuesday.

woman that her husband was work
ing at a sawmill. Later Oxner re-.
turned to the house when, it is said,

gun and fired a charge of small shot
into Oxner, striking him in the left

shot in the arm with a pistol ball.
Barksdale is said to then have car
ried the body of Oxner to the barn
and placed it in a stall With the stock,
where it was found this morning.
Oxner was about 60 years Of age
and a bachelor.
Coroner Owings held the inquest
