Slaughter said haven for-
bid you working on it They
repeated the words several times.
Fred said we forbid you
to work on it too V I was near
Slaughter. Fred was near Dock.
Fred had a rod of iron in his
hand when he came up. Dock
asked me not to strike another
lick and asked Slaughter not to
strike another lick. He said
mean what I tell you. I don't
want you to strike another
Slaughter kept on at work, and
made attempt to strike another
lick and as was going down
Dock Smith shot him. Dock told
him third time not to strike the
timber. Slaughter was standing
with his left side to Smith. When
Dock shot Slaughter caught hold
of him, there was nothing between
them. Slaughter pulled out his
pistol from right hand pants pock-
et, catching Smith with left hand.
When Slaughter caught Dock.
Fred went up to strike him. I
could not tell whether Slaughter
fired before Fred struck him.
Fred hit him on the head several
times ; there were two gashes on
Slaughter's head. The iron was
feet long J inch through.
Slaughter Dock had their left
arms around each other and
kept on shooting until Dock fell.
Fred continued to strike
until Dock fell, no more licks
were passed after Dock fell.
Slaughter and Fred had a
over the iron. Slaughter
don't let him kill
We boys started up when
fell. His hat was on his head
when Fred struck him, but not
when be fell. Slaughter stood
half a minute after Dock fell. I
no marks of blood except on
his head, his shirt was on fire in
several places. Slaughter and
Fred both had hold of the iron
standing in front of each other.
Mrs. Slaughter came up in or
minutes after Slaughter fell, she
asked me go after doctor. When
I came back Slaughter was dead.
I saw he was shot in three places,
two gashes on head inches
long. I am not related to either

I was scared but not so bad but I
knew what was going on. Did
not know Slaughter had bis pis-

pocket; did not see him snap pis-
at Fred. Did not tell Joe
Wilson that Slaughter took pistol
from hip pocket and put it in
right front pocket when he saw
Smiths coming ; did not tell
son that Slaughter pointed and
snapped pistol at Fred before
Fred struck him with iron ; did
not tell him that Slaughter would
have killed Fred if he had had
more balls in pistol. Told Wilson
in substance what I told
here. A man who told me his
name was Iredell Moore asked me
about it; told him about same I
did Wilson. I know Roach and

him Slaughter would killed
Fred if he had had another ball

Slaughter after Dock fell; did
not tell Davies Slaughter point-

struck him. Had conversation
with him at mill. Did not say
before that Smith forbid
me to work on laud. He
came up with iron in hand,
struck with right. Don't know
what became of pistols; they
were self-acting. I am near
years old.

G. F. SMITH.
Tho evening before tragedy
had completed housing Irish
and I agreed to
come to Greenville next day with
load of tobacco. He lives with
me- got up early next morn-
and Davies saying it was not
a good day to haul tobacco de-
not to go to town, but
would go to mill to sharpen picks,
Going to had to pass
one tenant house, sister's house
and Slaughters house. Had banks
of sweet potatoes and went by to
examine them. Lazarus Dawson
came along road. I asked him
let me ride with him to mill. I
got out at Dock's house, it
was about sun rise. I rode
on left Dawson on right of
buggy. Slaughters house is on
right, saw no one at Slaughters.
I found Dock out feeding cow.
Asked him if we could work on
mill that day. Said we could.
He had not eaten breakfast and
told me to get things ready while
he was eating. Mill yards
from house near. I went down to
get up picks while Dock was eat-
breakfast. Picks were bits
of steel weighing about pound
each. I came with picks before
he finished breakfast, I then went
back and got racket handle which
I had forgotten. When I return-
ed he came up with picks. Saw
Atkinson coming up behind us.
He caught up with us. We
walked on till we reached this
path. Dock said lets walk by
yonder. I said you may get in ;.
difficulty with Slaughter which
you may regret Dock turned
out when he reached that path-
We saw them on our way. We
heard a remark, Dock said
Slaughter is working on my land.
Brother said Slaughter
work on my land if I know it. I
was in road Dock was a few steps
from me. Ho said he was not
going to raise a fuss. We went
to the place of tragedy turning
from road at school house. We
approached near them- The first
man was Sutton, next
Slaughter and were work-
on same cut feet apart,
between us. Nearest
was Dock. Dock says
I forbid you working on my

both not to work any more. I
did not say a word to Did
not open my mouth- Slaughter
says to Hardy strike, on. Slaughter
raised his to strike and broth I
shot him- Slaughter shot
taking pistol from pants
pocket. Slaughter drew his pis-
as soon as brother shot
stepped across tho timber to
brother. They hugged and shot
as fast as they could. Both had
self-acting pistol. They were
hugging together with left arm
and shooting. I approached
or feet to separate them.
Slaughter snapped his pistol at
me- I struck him with the piece
of iron, at same time I grabbed
muzzle of his pistol with my left
hand. Brother was then in
Slaughter's arms. He had not
fallen. Shooting had ceased by
this time. My brother fell. We
had pistol and iron together.
When I saw my brother had fall-
en I quit my hold and knelt by
Dock and called him, he failed to
reply. In a short time Mrs.
Slaughter came out there. I
picked up Slaughter's pistol and
offered it to her. Said she did
not want it. Don't know who
carried it away. Saw Dr. Cox
have both pistols. Slaughter's
pistols was empty. I first knew
Slaughter was out there working
when Atkinson overtook us.
Dock and I had no conversation
about Slaughter that morning.
His name had not been mentioned
I had no knowledge of my broth-
intent, simply walked as any
one would with his- brother. We
had no to hurt or in-
Slaughter. Did not know my
brother had a pistol until he shot.
Did not say a word to Mr.
Had forbidden no one to
work on land. Got iron from
mill, I was using it as a walking
stick along road. Was taking
the piece of iron from mill to have
a handle welded on it. I first
pasted Slaughter's about an hour
before the fight
from
my house to brother's about sun-
rise. Near yards to scene of
fight. Between my brother's
house and Slaughter's nothing to
obscure view where Slaughter was
cutting timber. Could not see
them good from school house
Line fence between Slaughter's
gate and school house. Near
yards from fence to school house,
growth of pine Path
back of school house running par-
to fence. We took foot path
to Slaughter. Did not say any-
thing about cutting. Could have
heard cutting and could have seen
men moving about. We could
tell whether men wore beyond
fence or inside field. Brother
staid in house to get breakfast
while I went to mill. Did not see
where he got pistol from, don't
know whether he carried pistol or
not. Had mill picks and ratchet.
Had three picks. We left Dock's
front gate together. He put tools
over at school house. I carried
the piece of iron to place
they were cutting. The first man
passed was Sutton. was
at opposite end of timber from
Slaughter. Distance or feet
Dock was immediately in front of
Slaughter. I was a little to the
left. Dock was on my right. We
were about even. I had no pistol
that morning. Dock was the first
to speak. Dock asked Slaughter
not to another lick. I was
saying nothing to any one. Never
said a word to about work-
on that land. Never had been
on land with Dock and hauled off
timber which Slaughter had cut
Had been on land in dispute and
carried off rail timber. Don't
know where Slaughter was. Dock
was with me Davies was in crowd
with gun, he was going hunting.
He had a gun. I never carried
gun. Don't know who carried
gun home. After work was done
I carried gun to Dock's house.
Gun was in the woods. Carried
gun out in sight of his wife and
children. Were not on friendly
terms with Slaughter. He was
on bad terms with Dock. I felt
that Slaughter had no right to be
on the laud. Don't remember
whether I spoke to any one about
going upon land or not I know
Cory, a J. P. of that township.
Knew it was against law to carry
concealed weapons. Don't know
I asked Cory whether I
had a right to carry gun upon the
premises. Don't remember ask-
any one about carrying gun
upon premises. Don't know
whether conversation with
on business was before or
this hauling. Our
was about a plank.
was road-overseer. I asked
him if ho had filled my ditch up.
He said he would put plank back.
I went to Ayden, the telegraph
operator was the first man I saw.
Did relate any particulars.
Did not tell him where I was
standing. Did not tell him I was
standing down there in the road
and tried to get Dock not to go
and I staid there to wait for him;
did not tell him was too far away
to separate them the reason I did
not interfere. Don't know
I saw Chas. Smith or not Don't
know whether struck log

fired second shot. Firing was
as rapid as a man could pull trig-
His right hand was to me
and he had nothing to do but to
turn and snap. The time was so
short it took me some time to re-
cover, I did not make for
Slaughter as soon as he put his
down and drew his pistol.
Did not strike him but two times.
Did not count shots at time of
firing. I picked up pistol, it was
empty. Snapped pistol at me
more. Slaughter
had to cross over the timber or
walk by end. Knew Slaughter
and Dock were not on good terms.
Don't know whether Slaughter
went armed for Dock, had heard
it. Never heard that Dock said
Slaughter could not kill me and
him too. Never heard Dock say
if Slaughter came on that land
while he was there that he would
kill him. Mrs. Slaughter never
forbid me going on laud. Never
hauled any wood off land when
Mrs. Slaughter forbade.
HENRY
I knew the time Dock Smith
and Slaughter were killed- I was
living at Fred Smith's Had been
there or got up
at hour and half to daylight
to bring tobacco to town but
abandoned the trip. From Fred
to Dock's about one mile. Fred
said ho was going to the mill after
pick. Said I could go or stay.
I saw him next after the men were
killed. Don't know tho exact
time, sun was an hour or hour and
half high. Hardy came soon after
I got at scene of tragedy. I re-
marked that I never remembered
where two men got killed in this
way, and he remarked if
had had an other ball in his
pistol three would have been kill-
ed ; said Slaughter snapped pistol
at Fred- Did not know whether
Fred struck before Slaughter
snapped or not Did say
Slaughter snapped at him after
Dock fell; did not say firing
ceased before Fred struck. Did
not say that Fred said anything
to him ; did not say that Fred
said or did anything before
began. I went out woods on
the occasion the Smiths hauled
timber off this land; started hunt-
Dock got me to help load
carts. I drove cart out of woods.
Worked to yards from fence,
fence is south of Slaughter's house
Didn't know about the land being
in dispute. First conversation
with was about half hour
after fight. Picks at mill needed
sharpening. Dock worked black-
smith shop. Fred said the
et needed mending. Fred did not
any gun with him. I was at
Fred's at time of shooting.
talked with also at Dock's
house and at mill he left off part
that he told me first time, did not
tell about snapping pistol-
from Per-
son county, came here last
Mrs. Slaughter was not
there when I got there, she had
gone back to house- No one
mediately present when
talked with me. Was not at in-
quest. Don't know that I told
what said to me. Don't
know who I told first; reckon I
told Fred soon after it happened.
I know I told him. Don't know
that I over told anybody else. Did
not think of his not saying any-
thing about not snapping pistol.
Don't know what he told me; did
not swear to Gov. Jar vis that he
left off telling about snapping pis-
Don't remember what
told me at mill. The gun I
had belonged to Fred. I started
from Fred's, got right smart ways
from him ; yards was farthest.
They stayed in woods and I haul-
ed ; the gun stayed in woods.
I think Fred took the gun ;
he stayed at Dock's for dinner,
I went to Fred's. I had heard
them speak about tho disputed
land. Fred always spoke to
tor when they passed ; don't know
whether Slaughter spoke to him.
JOSEPH WILSON.
I know where both Smiths live.
I live this side of Dock's. A per-
son going after Dr. Cox from
of tragedy would pass my
house. Saw going after
Dr. Cox, he told mo Smith and
Slaughter had about killed each
other. Was standing in road and
saw him or minutes later
going back to Slaughter's. He
told me how it happened; said
Slaughter looked and said yonder
comes the Smiths, and that
Slaughter changed his pistol from
hip to front pants pocket; Smiths
were close to Slaughter;
raised to strike timber
and Dock shot him; they con
tinned getting closer together and
got there arms around each other,
kept shooting till Dock fell; then
Slaughter snapped at Fred and
Fred struck him. Hardy came
along behind the doctor and
stopped long enough to tell me
to gratify my curiosity ; he was
excited; he is a man of
character-
MOORE,
Remember the day of homicide,
went there about o'clock;
smart crowd there, about or
suppose I heard tell
how it occurred several times,
ho freely and voluntarily.
He said ho was at work with
Slaughter when Slaughter said
yonder comes the Smith's and
then took pistol from hip pocket
and put it in front pants pocket-
Kept on working until they came
up. Dock asked Slaughter if he
had not forbid him working on
land, Slaughter asked him same.
Dock told him not work any fur-
Slaughter worked on and
Dock shot him. Slaughter
shot, then they hugged
each other and continued firing.
Slaughter snapped pistol at Fred
or times, Fred struck
and they had over the
iron.

Saw Fred Cox and Sam
Was present at inquest
and heard testimony ;
he made different statements
from what he did in woods. I
did not volunteer to make state-
that he made different state-
from what he did in woods.
I mentioned it to Gaskins while
the examination was going on-
He said after Slaughter snapped
pistol at Fred he hit him; that
Dock was in Slaughter's arms
till he fell; that after second shot
Dock and Slaughter hugged to-
; that Dock fell after
Slaughter snapped at Fred.

JESSE BROWN.
I went to of homicide
minutes after it happened, saw
Mrs. Slaughter and Fred Smith.
Dock Smith and Slaughter were
both dead. I went with Sam
on cart; tied horse
in yard and walked out to where
dead bodies were, saw a gun be-
tween Slaughter's house and the
bodies- Fred was standing over
his brother. Mrs. Slaughter ask-
ed if he would not
stand and notice her husband, her
health was bad, said she would
like to get him moved and asked
if I would help. Fred said he
would help carry him to house
and said he would not had it done
for all tho lauds, he did all he
could to stop it but could not.
Mrs. Slaughter told him she did
not want him to touch him.

that evening took his gun and
went to the fish pond and laid
low for about a half an hour,
when he discovered a ripple
the water, looked and saw the
head of something bobbing up
and down. Grasping his gun he
took aim and fired, and something
jumped out of the water. Beaching
it he found it to be a muskrat
about inches long. A good
shot for the Corporal. He killed
another one later in the week
about the same size. The rats
had dug through the dam letting
out nearly all the water. Mr.
Warren is afraid they have
eaten the fish that were in the
pond, although he can't tell now
as the carp bury themselves in the
mud for about five months in the
year.

were comparatively unnoticed until
last year.
Capt. said year
the number of dead oysters with
holes made by borers in the shell
became so great that
were alarmed. This year the work
of the borers has become a grave
matter, and if it continues many
bays will become depopulated of
oysters. From one bed we dredged
on this trip we got twelve hundred
baskets of oysters, but out of these
only two hundred were good, the
dead oysters having been killed by
borers. A peculiar thing about the
ravages of the borers is their
selection of the best oyster beds.
We have found this to be true
times this season. We have
found a bed of small oysters almost
entirely from borers. This bed will
be separated from another bed of
larger oysters by two hundred feet,
this latter bed will be so badly
affected by the creatures that it will
hardly pay to work it.
what I can learn from
the destruction wrought by
borers Is more severe in Delaware
bay than in other places.
work of the borer this year
makes a double misfortune, the
oyster beds were badly damaged by
the big storm in August and
Very few people who are
not in the oyster dredging business
know anything of the methods of the
borer. When I first took notice of
its work I secured several oysters
just after the borer had fastened it-
self to the shell. When the borer
fastens itself it holds on like a leech,
and it is with difficulty that it can
be removed with the lingers.
the borer fastens it-
self to the oyster shell near the
edge and then the oyster is not
killed. When the hole of the borer
is made near the of the shell
the oyster is attacked in its vital
parts and dies in three or four days
after the hole is first
Some of the bed owners near
Maurice river have lost large sums
of money this year on account of the
borer. Thomas Munsey, who has a
number of largo beds, it is said, will

other men have lost nearly as much
through this calamity,
an la number of men have lost in
the neighborhood of two or three
thousand dollars. All
say there can be no way of taking
away the borer without destroying
the oyster beds.

Methodism Is Religion on Fire.
oddest, sincerest,
religious enterprise of the present
day is the Salvation Army. The key
to it is its to save
men; nothing else. It docs not
want lo do anything more and at-
tempts nothing schools, no
education, no religious training,
nothing but to get men into the
kingdom of God. It will get them
in any way it can. It has no dignity
to save, no conventionalities to con-
sider. Why care for a sneer when
there is a soul to save
It is an army in in reality
a church; but a very strange kind
of a church. It is a cross between
Methodism and like
old Methodism, it is religion
on fire, or charged with
and, Quakerism, it
has no sacraments. It knows
and cares nothing about baptism
and the Lord's supper, and yet it
has its confession of the faith, in
joining the army, which does the of-
of baptism in tho early church;
and every mooting is scarcely less
than a communion with Christ and
one another. Tho Salvation Army

them is not saving them. Just so
the Lord's supper is recommended
to those who feel that it would
help their faith, but it is not
to membership in the army or
to salvation.
So the Salvation Army knows no
formal church. Its members may or
may not be members of the churches;
but its theory is that the army takes
the place of the church. Where the
rest of us say church it says army.
It asks no converts to join the
church, only to join the army. Join-
the army does not save anyone;
he must be saved first, and then he
is asked to join the army and en-

people. Salvation is its only

Large Scenes the Artist's
Sheets Adorned by Him Through
the Laundry Without Losing Any
of Their Original Brilliancy.
A Chinese artist came here on the
last oriental steamer, and has been
selling some queer things in red,
green and yellow to his admiring
countrymen. He paints on silk and
linen as a rule, but will turn off
genre pieces on white paper. His
taste, however, runs to large
on grass cloth, painted in a
panoramic way which permits him
to paint a scene along several linear
feet of space, says the Hawaiian
Star. Accustomed as he has been
at home to paint by the acre and
with both hands, he is not dismayed
by a huge canvas, but with calmness
and industry will proceed to
a whole set of bed sheets with
blue elms and green roses and
Chinese gods and women and
lovers.
One picture that he showed a re-
porter was said to represent a gar-
den party, though it needed some
assurance at first to dispel the idea
that it was a catastrophe at sea.
What looked like the raging main,
however, was really a Chinese turf,
and the bent and bedraggled object
in the foreground was not a wreck,
but a tree. An awful print of a lost
celestial maid in the grasp of a
devil-fish proved to be one of an
damsel twined in the
leaves and tendrils of a flowering
shrub. Instead of slippery squids,
as one might have supposed, were
tambourines, and a rock in the boil-
surge was only a pagoda set in
heather and bushes.
A series of small paintings told a
story very dear to the Chi-
heart. The hero of the
tale was the strongest man in
the empire, having become an
under the teaching of his wife,
who was a female Sampson. To-
they challenged the world
without soft gloves, and
In course of time, however, war
came and the wife was overpowered
and taken away, leaving the
band very miserable. As the artist
paints him, standing mournfully at
the door of his lavender house, great
vermilion tears roll down his mauve
complexion, stain his green vest and
trickle along his chromatic trousers
and sink into the scarlet and yellow
earth.
Then twenty years go by and an-
other war ensues. Two armies meet
and the strongest champions go
forth for a preliminary combat. Be-
hold I The man and wife are sent
against each other and the artist
rises to the occasion. He shows the
husband holding his Dulcinea out at
arm's length by her belt, and, as he
bears her away to a saffron river
which runs between sky-blue banks,
he has a fierce be whiskered joy on
his that invites not a pearl-
tinted breeze but a crimson
cane to blow through it. Mean-
while the captured giantess, demure
sweet, has surrendered without
a murmur.
The visiting knight of the -brush
uses pigments that will wash, and
he says that one of his pictures can
go through a Chinese laundry with-
out the loss of the natural blue tint
on a maiden's cheek or of the deli-
bronze flush of an i flow-
or leaf.
SAVED FROM A TIGER.

eaters of Siberia.
It is quite a remarkable fact that
the tiger, which we ordinarily ex-
to find only in African wilds or
Indian jungles, also roams through
Siberia's northern latitudes. The
terror caused by these marauding
monsters was so great and they car-
off so large a number of work-
men that work had to be stopped
some months ago until a plan for
protection should be devised. Fin-
ally the governor of eastern Siberia
decided to send for a corps of marks-
men to systematically hunt down
these terrible tigers and rid the vi-
of them forever.
On July last the soldiers struck
tho trail of a beast whose move-
they had been watching for
several days. The pursuit led them
into a wooded district some distance
from the railroad camp, and toward
nightfall, finding themselves be-
lated, they resolved to halt and
bivouac. First of all they built a
cheery fire were standing in a
circle around the ruddy blaze when
an ominous crackling noise in the
brushwood caused each man to
grasp his rifle. In another instant,
almost before they had time to
think, the underbrush parted and
like a flash there sprang out of tho
gloom the brilliant-striped terrible
form of a gigantic

threw himself flat upon the
ground, and taking exact aim sent a
bullet through the tiger's eye. Had
his hand once faltered he must have
killed poor who lay prone
and helpless in the animal's grasp.

and tho dead tiger carried in
to camp. By this time its
magnificent skin has become the
property of tho governor of eastern
Siberia, who will keep it as a trophy.

n electrical Experiment
A new electric street railway sys-
now being tried in Detroit,
Mich., is described by a local paper
as The current is applied
by means of an underground wire to
an underground switch, which is
connected with a third rail, running
through the center of the track.
This third rail is not continuous,
but laid in sections, none of which
is or dangerous, except the
one over which the car is passing.
As the sections are only eight feet
In length, and the smallest car
about twenty feet, it will be seep
that all danger from contact with a
live section is entirely avoided. The
third rail being connected with
automatic switches, one section of
rail becomes as soon as a
car passes to the next section. Be-
neath tho car arranged two
brushes, fore and aft, which are just
far enough apart to insure the car
reaching one section of the third rail
after leaving one. It will be seen,
therefore, that the ear must be pres-
to make any section of the rail
and then the rail is covered
by the car. The wires are entirely
buried, and therefore cannot come
In contact with anything which
could be harmed. The operating
switches can be placed either inside
the rails or in an alley running par-
with the street, thus doing
