?Gives No K?UMon for Deed.
Tlmmonsvllle, Nov. 23.?B. F. Wil
liams of Baldwyn, MIbs., was killed
on Main street this afternoon by C. E.
Jones of Fountain Inn. Williams and
bis brother-in-law, W. C. McKay, have
been here for several weeks demon
strating washing machines for the
Royal Laundry company In a build
ing on Main street. Today when Mc
Kay had Btepped out leaving Williams
In the building reading a newspaper,
Jones walked In from across the
street and bred his pistol five times
into the body of Williams, each bullet
taking offocl In a fatal spot. Williams
died instantly.
No one was in the building when
the shooting occurred, though the
streets were filled with the usual
Saturday afternoon crowd.
Jonos surrendered and admitted the
shooting bill would give no reasons
for the act. Williams leaves a wife
and throe Children and was just last
night saying how delighted he was
that lie w..s going to Baldwyn to see
them Thanksgiving, after being away
from home for six monttis.
Mr. Williams was In Columbia fair
week demonstrating in the steel
building and has been here since that
time. He was a man of pleasing per
sonalities and seemed to he well
thought of for a stranger.
Jones Is n married man and hns at
one time been engaged In saw mill
business near this place.?The State
Madden, Nov. 25.?Things are 'mov
ing on here in the even tenor of their
way, "Cotton though, is shorter than
I really thought It would be" Is the
general consensus of opinion. But its
no use to sit down and whine over the
situation, hut let the failure of the
past be a stepping stone to better and
wiser farming next year. The drowth
wa? beyond control. Why mourn over
that you could not possibly help?
There peoms to be a general epidem

The hearts of many were gladdened

for the position of district attorney.
The appointment of Mr. Cooper would
be received as good news by Laurens
county generally. Like Wilson, he
stand:-, above party faction and therein
lies the strength of his appointment.
Good luck to him.
Thanksgiving day will soon be. here
again. By many It will be spent in va
rious ways, ihe good people of this
community, however, are put on notice
that their presence and aid will be
needed that day at the school house.,
where the good men will put In their
