Verdict Rendered in the In.
vestigation Of the Death of
English Williamson

Coroner W. J. Scale reeonvened
the jury. of inquest in the case OF
the death of English Williamson,
at S o'clock Tuesday, afternoon in
the Office of the City Recorder.
No additional witnesses We're
examined under oath. but Dick
Merrimon was permitted to make
a voluntary statement Of his
knowledge OF the circumstances
leading up to the death of Viii
hanson.
He said that Saturday afternoon
he purchased a. snan quantity Of
a drug. which has since been idep-
tilted as heroin, from Ernest
Keene. That he took q dose Of it
that night about s O'Clock, that it
was powerful drug, much more
so than the ordinary su1phate of
morphine, with which he was IA
miliar, and that he had "a bad
night. The next morning English
Williamson, who had a room at the
Curtis house, came to his room and
he told him about taking the drug
and how it had affected him Viii
hanson said he would try a shot
of it himself. He told William
son that It was powerful stuff, but
Williamson insisted on taking a
dose, and did so. The remainder
of his statement merely: eorroborat-
ed the testimony Of Sam Brown.
He stated positively that he did not
administer the drug to Williamson,
and had not knowingly made a
statement to that effect He had
said he gave Williamson the drag,
meaning that he had permitted
Villa annson to take it.
The. jury after brief deliberation
rendered a verdict that English
Williamson came to his death from
the effects of an overdose of NOR
tphine or some other derivative OF
opium.
Immediately after the conclusion
Of the inquest Dick Merrimcn,
Ernest Keene and Charles Heriot
were arrested on warrants sworn
out before y. s, Commissioner R.

nitted to jail to be. held for. the
fe d e ra court. Commissioner
Bland fixed bond in the sum of

FIRE AT. BLANEY
Discovered in Postoffice
Three Buildings Burn

Bfaney, Nov. l6.-The United
States. postefhce and two stores, ad-
joined the postofhee, were destroy
ed by fire Of unknown origin here
early this morning, only strenuous
work by volunteer dremen pre-
venting the blaze from spreading
to other stores and residences
nearby.
The FIRE was discovered at about
1880 o'clock this morning by Dr.. H.
e. Vaughan and apparently had
its beginning in the postofice which
was. owned by J. T. Ross. The blaze
soon spread to small store. own
ed by j. E. Jeffers and then to a
large brick store building owned by
John Rose The greater part of the
equipment and mail in the postoffce
was saved as was a large portion of
the goods in the stores. The Rose
building was uneecupied. Several
nearby residences were slightly
damaged by the flames.
The volunteer firehghters were
handicapped by their lack of wa
ter, the town having no water sys-
tenn, and the Camden fire depart
ment, to which call for help was
sent, could offer no assistance since
its equipment did not include a
large chemical engine such as
would have been needed. Practi-
eally every citizen was aroused and
all joined in the effort to check the
flames with the result that at about
2::30 O'Clock this morning the fire
was under control.
1t is impossible this morning 10
arrive at any accurate estimate OF
the loss.

Buy Fruit Trees
Comparatively
County Agent Williams Ad-
vises Farmers How to Buy
Good Trees at the Right
Price

There has been quite a number
of farmers and others who have
been inquiring about securing fruit
trees, especially peach trees, direct
from the nurseries. am glad that
the people Of Sumter county no
longer depend upon the agents to
secure their nursery stock. Fruit
trees as well as other commodities
come a great deal higher when Sc
cured through an agent than di-.
rectly from the nurseries. ] have
met a great many who had secured
trees from which extraordinary re-.
suits had been promised by the
agent. One farmer told me that
he had purchased trees from an
agent who had guaranteed them
never to have San Jose scale. I
asked him what was the name of
the agent and the name of the
nursery. but he had forgotten both.
Then i asked him what was the.
value of the guarantee. / am pos
tive. that this farmer never ate
a peach from these trees for which
he had paid the handsome price.
of one dollar each. Last year de-
livered some trees in cooperative
order for forty cents less per tree
than the farmer had paid an agent
for some and he, the farmer, ad-
1nitted that the trees we secured
direct from the nursery were larg-
er and better trees. / shall be glad
to get up another cooperative or
der or give any one the names Of
nurseries and prices for which they.
can secure trees. By the thousand
we can get them delivered here in
Sumter county for fourteen cents or
less, that, is the best peach trees.
Since there are not very large or
ders Of other kinds of trees made,
there is not such saving in or
dering the other trees cooperative
ly. Last year we ordered over four
thousand trees at one time. and the
orders averaged about twenty-five
to thirty to the man. Nursery
stock should be ordered the latter
part OF. November and set out
about the first of December. In
the case Of peach trees. all should
live if taken care Of. / set out six
hundred peach trees last fall and
only one failed to grow.
Every man who sees a good or
chard wishes to have one of his
own. 1t takes more than wishing
to have a good orchard ! would
advise every one who does not
make up his mind to spray care
fully for scale and look after keep
ing the borers out to let some one
grow their fruit who viii take the
trouble to do this. 1t is not much
trouble to secure trees and put
them out but trees should be cared
for just like any other crop. You
should expect no more from fruit
trees to set them out and never do
anything else than if you were to
plant a crop of corn or cotton and
never cultivate it. If you wish to
see what an orchard should do,
take the trouble to go out to-
Wedgefield and see hundred acres
in peach trees on Mr.. II. NJ. Nc
Lanrin's place. These have been
cared for and have made good
growth for the first year.
All Of those who wish me to help
them secure good nursery stock see
me or write me between this and
the first OF Decembr.

with a well known public leader,
who is not a member Of the reich
stag, but who, the president be-
Heves, meets the requirements for
the. premiership in cabinet com

Gals had neededlessly precipitated

 Thomas D. Donlon spoke at length on the party's needs. He felt that the remarks made during the evening, be- ing all along the same lines, indicated that there was unity in the party. He felt the membership at meetings could be built up and interest instilled.
 John Smithwick felt that the policy of handling party finances should be changed. He thought it would be a better plan if ward committees were named, each to be in charge of get ting out the vote in it's own ward and in charge of its own finances.
 Chairman Mccarthy replied that when all democratic finances are pooled magnifying glass is needed to see the money, but if it was di- vided among the six wards, then it wouldn't be seen at all.
 At the close of the session an- nouncement was made that regular meetings will be held in the future on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.
