Beattie, Jr., a prominent society , and business man of Rich mond, was arrested last Friday for the alleged murder of his wife. It will be remembered that the first re port as given by the' Richmond pa pers and evidently coming from Beattie were to the effect that while out automobiling he and his wife were accosted in the road'by an un known white man who without further notice fired a shot gun, killing his wife. The reports at the time did not seem plausible and an . -investigation followed. Paul Beattie, a cousin of the man arrest ed, stated that- a few weeks ago he had bought a shot gun for-H. C. Beattie. On cross examination Paul Beattie seemed excited, finally faint ed and went into convulsions. In striking contrast to this was H. C. Beattie .who, when on the stand ap peared perfectly cool and collected, not being in the least disturbed. He stuck to his original story of mur der by an unknown white man. A sensational turn in the evidence was given by the testimony of Beu lah Binford, the "woman in the case," who told a story of former Intimacy with Beattie. Further de velopments are anxiously awaited. All of Richmond is in a fever of ex citement 'over the sensation.. IN SOCIETY. 8. AND O. CLUB WITH MRS. LOVE. Mrs. John F.

Burgln, a Loray Mill op erative was struck ' Sunday night about 10:80 by Southern train No. 30- a few hundred yards this side of the station at Bessemer City and in stantly killed. He was sitting on the crosstles and It Is supposed that he was struck by the projection of fhe car steps as there was no bruise or mark on his body save the gap ing wound Just at the base of the skull which caused his death. There were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy with the exception of a porter on train No. 35 who had seen the man sitting by the tack a few moments before. The two trains, Nob. 30 and 35 meet at Bessemer City, the southbound train taking the siding. His account given at the coroner's inquest was to the fol lowing effect: "v "I saw the man coming down the track walking as erect and straight as anyone. He sat down on the crossties and appeared to be tying his shoe. The engineer on the north bound train kept tooting his whistle and I wondered why the man did not move. Had I known he was asleep I could have gotten him I off the track in plenty of time." Mr. Clark, of Bessemer City, said that while sitting on bis porch he heard the engineer on No. 30 shut off the steam and reverse his engine in a desperate effort to stop in time. Passengers on board the train testi fied that they were thrown bodily from their seats by the violence of the sudden stop. Mr. Burgin had been going with out sleep for several nights. Satur day he played ball at High Shoals and, as friends testified was thor oughly tired out.. Sunday night he was sitting around the station at Bessemer City with some of his companions, when he got up with the' remark, "Boys, be good to your selves, I am going home and go to bed." He walked on down the track and Just at the point where a path led to the house where he was boarding, for some unaccountable reason, sat down on the crosstles with the sad results as mentioned above. The deceased was a young un married man of 26 years of age. He is survived by bis father and mother and several brothers and sisters. He was a skilled workman, very much respected and admired by his employers, all of whom regret his untimely death. ' Attended Meeting of Opticians. Mr. W. B.

W. H. Reddish Many Expressions of Regret and Fellowship Mr. Red dish Leaves for Wadeaboro. " Last Sunday night at the -Fifst Baptist church in this city there was held a service ss unique as it was emotional. ' It was a farewell serv ice held In honor of Rev. W. H. Reddish, who after nearly eight year's labor here has accepted a call to the First Baptist church at Wadesboro. Some time ago when It became, public that Rev. Mr. Red dish was to resign his charge here, the pastors of the city requested of him that they might be allowed to conduct the last services In his church In the form of a farewell service in which all the congrega tions of town should take pSrt. In, accordance with this idea a large frowd gathered at the First Baptist church Sunday night to do honor to Rev. Mr. Reddish. The meetings was in charge of Rev. G. D. Herman, chairman of the Ministers' Conference, and in a short intro ductory address he made known the object of the meeting which was to show to the Baptist congregation the esteem and high regard in which their retiring pastor was held by the congregations over the city. He prefaced his remarks with the state ment that the time had come when one could not tell the difference be tween a good Baptist, A. R. P., Methodist or Presbyterian unless the particular person chose to reveal his denomination, that the orthodox 1 Christian churches were becoming more and more united in their fight against sin and the devil and that this meeting was only a visible man ifestation of the spirit of unity and good fellowship felt by the different j denominations In Gastonia. He then Introduced Dr. J. C. Galloway who made the main address. Prior to this Rev. R. C. Anderson had read the Scripture lesson, offer ed the opening prayer and read the' following paper adopted by the ministers of the city: In view of the approaching re moval of Rev. W. H. Reddish from our city the Ministers' Conference of Gastonia adopted the following resolutions. It is with genuine re gret that we have heard of the ap proaching departure of our brother, Rev. W. H. Reddish. ' For seven and a half years he has gene in and out among us, and all this while his conversation and life have been most exemplary as It has touched the general public by whom he Is held in highest esteem. Our fellowship with him as a conference and as Individuals has been most brotherly and delightful, and we know that his relation to his own charge has been most harmonious and successful. As a citizen he has stood for the best things. As. a friend he has been brotherly and sincere. As a preacher unusually earnest, fear less and effective and as a pastor wise and sympathetic, winning the love and esteen of all. In his new field we feel sure a large measure of success awaits hhn. O. D. HERMAN, Chairman. R. C. ANDERSO?;, Secretary. Dr. Galloway began by saying that in all his experience he had never seen a meeting such as this was, so unique and at the same time so in teresting and farreachlng. He used as a basis for his remarks the passage from John: 17:22 "That they may be one." He said that he did not think that the Lord ever intended that all the Christian churches should ever be united in one denom ination and in one body under the same government. If such were the case, tyranny and absolutism would result. All liberty of thought and conscience would be crushed out by a few men. The way to cor ruption in church circles would be thus paved. The army of the Unit ed States was cited as an example of this. The finest work and most conscientious effort comes from the sub-division into the navy, the cav alry., the artillery, the Infantry and other subordinations. - But divided as the church Was by creed, it was united on one thing the evangeli sation of the world. The recent world meetings - and , conventions were ample proof of the harmonious workings of the churches. , - "-- v i Rev. Mr. Reddish followed, with a touching farewell address in which he spoke his deep appreciation of all that had been shown him on every occasion by every citizen. He said that' he would carry with him the fondest recollections of the town of Gaatonla, its officers and citizens. Ever after the doings of not only the Baptists la Gastonia but of ev ery denomination in Gastonia would be watched with the deepest Inter est, for . he felt strongly Identified with everything In Gastonia. Ar yet the people of the First Bap tist church have not yet decided on the man whom they shall an to fill Mr. Reddish's place, but the com mittee composed, of Messrs. J. S. -Wray, H. B, Moore and W.J. Clif ford are at work and hope soon to announce for publication the name of the chosen man. Died at oid Min ; '::. ': -'Ay.i . Mr.. W. H.
