BEAUFORT AROUSED
OVER MURDER

Beaufort, Aug. 1a.--sA mass meet
ing that crowded the court house to,
night voted to instruct the chairman
to appoint committees of three cit.
izens to collect, prepare and present
evidence against Sheriff j. H. Bailey
before the grand jury This grew
out of his refusal and failure to
place Ralph z. Brown in Jail as di.
rected in the coroner's cammittment,
which found at the inquest yester-
day that Brown killed Z. P. L. Betti-
son. The vote was unanimous ex-
cept for brother of Brown.
1hc sheriff kept the prisoner at his
home while the law requires he be
put in Jail. Early in the afternoon
over 100 citizens met and sent a
committee to the sheriff asking him
to meet with them and explain his
action. This he refused to do. So
iicitor Muddaueh was On his way
from Hampton and the meeting wa5
adjourned to the evening. The So
licitor was present then and ad-
vised with the meeting as to the
sheriff's action. Just before the
evening meeting the sheriff placed his
prisoner in Jail, but again refused to
attend the meeting. Condemnation
was expressed at the fact that the
sheriff's attorney and adviser Is the
attorney for the defense In the case
against Brown.
Condemnation of the city govern.
ment for alleged lenieney toward
Brown in former difficulties was gen
eral, and a motion was carried, 80 to
3s, asking for the resignation of the
three commissioners, over two-thirds
refraining from voting On this issue
owing part to the absence of the
mayor. Many women. stt@ded and
voted. Intense feeling was manifest
in the applause and speeches but the
best of order was maintained. Tha
committee sent to the sheriff was
Alan Paul, L. H. Hall and Gus Sand
ers, county treasurer. Niels Chris
tensen was chairman of the meetings
and Alan Paul secretary,
j. H. Bellamy and William Altman
made the motions that carried. The
solicitor has refused to consent to a
request for bail for Brown.
In the news account sers ont yes
terday ii was stated thaSE BGttisoh
was killed while seated. A further
examination of the testimony shows
that no direct evidence was present
ed to that effect. Brown claims self
defense in his request for bail.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 11.-Bishop
John C. Kilgo of the Southern Me-
thodist Episcopal church died at his
home here at 1:45 this morning after
having been extremely i'll since last
Sunday when he suffered severe
heart attack.
Bishop Kilgo had been gradually
sinking since last Thursday after
noon and his death had been expect
ed hourly by his physicians and fam
lily. Since Sunday little or no hope
had been entertained for his recov-
cry.
DR.. Kilgn had been we'll known in
the South for score of years, hav-
ing served as president of Trinity
college at Durham, n. c., for six
years prior to his election as bishop
II years ago. AT the last general
conference of the Southern Meth
odist church at Hot Springs, Ark,
he was placed on the bishops retired
list. The aged minister had never
entirely recovered from the severe
attack suffered last spring on his way
home from the general conference,
which forced him to remain under
treatment in Memphis hospital for
several weeks, finally being brought
home on cot in the private car of
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern railway, of which Bishor
Kilgo was director. He regained
sufficient strength, how ever, to leave
his bed and several times took rides
about the city with members of his
family. He made one trip to Baiti-
me re where he was under treatment
of a specialist for several days.
Bishop John Carlisle Kileo was
born in Laurens, S. c., July %, 1861,
son of James T. and Catherine Mason
Kilgo. He was educated IN the
schools of his native state and re-
ceived the honorary degree of ID. ID.
from Wofford and Randolph Macon
colleges and Tulane University. He
was united in marriage with Miss
Fanny Turner of Gaffney, S. C. In
1882 he was ordained minister in
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, and served Various pastorates
in the South Carolina conference
until 1889 when he was called to Wof
ford college as professor of philoso-
ply and financial agent. In 1894 he
was elected president of Trinity Col
lege, Durham, N. c., where he serv-
ed until 1910 when he was elected
bishop of the Methodist church at
the conference in Asheville, N. G.
He was delegate to the general
Methodist conference in 1894, 1898,
1902, 1906 and 1910, delegate to the
Ecumenical Methodist conference in
London in 1901. He was a fraternal
delegate to the general conference of
the Methodist church in Los An
geles in 1904 when he made speech
advocating the union of the North
ern and Southern branches of the
Methodist church.

Ford Retail Sales
Go Over Million
Show Increase Of los. 900 Cars and
Trucks Over Previous Year.

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and Fordson tractors have again
exceeded the million mark for
the year 1921, according to q
statement given out by the Ford
Motor Company.
The Ford factory and assembly
plant production figures reached
q total of 1.05O, 740 cars, trucks
and tractors for the year, with.
retail sales by dealers approx
mating 1893. 900, which in the
United States alone surpassed
the 1920 retail record by 104, 213I
Ford cars and trucks.
The Ford Company says the
outlook for 1922 is decidedly op-
timistic. In fact, concrete evil
dences already exist in that car
and truck retail sales for Deem
Der Il, exceeded December 1920l
sales by' almost Is per cent, andl
Fordson tractor retail sales for
the same periods show an in
crease of over 100 per cent for
December 1921. as well as an in-I
crease over the total tractor sales
for the month of November.
These facts seem to Indicate
that not only are the farmers
buying more freely, but that the
general public is becoming more )
responsive and receptive. Il
Another point brought out by
comparison of production figur- =
. for the past two years shows :
hat Ford enclosed cars are gain
ng in popularity, as % per cent
+ the 1921 production were Sc 2
lans and coupes as against a to- Z
