O Beard at St. Pauls yesterday afternoon at 5 o clock, lhe fatal shot was fired while Mr. Connor was on the eneine of a moving train. He was fireman on a V. & C. S. freight train and as the train was pulling into St. Pauls Beard shot him, using a breechload inir shotgun, loaded with No. 2 shot. The load took effect in the right side, after passing through the right arm of the unfortunate man, death result ing in a short time. After firing the shot Beard went to hil home in St. Pauls and was later arrested by Policeman M. P. Newton of that town. Sheriff R. E. Lewis went to St. Pauls last evening and brought the prisoner to jail. When asked about the affair by a Robesonian reporter this morning Beard said he did the shooting and told about the gun used and the size of the shot with which the gun was loaded. He added, "I had a right to shoot but no right to kill. I had no idea I would kill him when I shot." When asked what his right was, he stated that he did not care to tell at that time. However, he intimated that the trouble started about his (Beard's) wife. Beard said he was a native of Bladen county, having been born near Tar Heel. He lived in Lumber ton a short time some eight months ago. Connor was about 23 years old, not married, and lived near Barnesville be fore moving to East Lumberton sev eral years ago. The remains were tak en in charge by Messrs. Stephens & Barnes, local undertakers, and inter ment will be ma'de near Barnesville tomorrow. states a Washington dispatch of the n. secretary of War Newton D.

Go to the house of God and look in on a mid-week prayer meeting. Many are conspicuous for their absence. Go on down to a leg show or any place of worldly amusement and peep in and there , you see a house packed with Baptists, Methodists and Presbyte rians. These are absent at prayer meeting, but on the job at the places of amusement. Paul said, "In the last days men will be lovers of pleas ure more than lovers of God."
