SON KILLS FATHER.
Anderson, S. C. Sept. .28.
Oscar Hall, aged 50, a well-to-do
farmer, was shot and instantly
killed by his son, Walter, aged
18 years, late last night at his
home, 6 miles west of this city.
The elder Hall was in a
-i
urunen condition and tried to-
force the younger Hall to drink
some whiskey. The younger Hall
was in bed suffering , with a
a severe attack of gastritis and
his mother objected. Oscar Hall
then hit his wife over the head
with a broom, it is said. She fled
from the house. In an enraged
condition her husband secured
his rifle and followed after her.
Mrs. Hall reentered the house
through the back door and se
cured herself behind a door.
Walter Hall, although in a weak
condition, staggered to his dres
ser, secured his 32-caliber pistol
and fired at his father through
the window. He fired three shots,

The coroner's jury returned a
verdict, stating that the deceas
ed came to his death from pistol
wounds in the hands of Walter
Pall. On account of young Hall's
condition he was not removed to
jail after the warrant was served
on him. Attorneys will be engag
ed, who will try to get bail for
him at once, in order to avoid
moving him. The Halls are well
connected in Anderson county.

A Good Farmer.
Mr. J. E. Daniel, one of our
most progressive young farmers,
was in our office a few days ago
and showed us a sample of some
of his tobacco. Now, there will
be finer than this on the market,
but we doubt if there is a crop
which will. make a higher average!
than Mr. Daniel's; We have never
seen stalks which were nearer all
wrappers than the stock he was
was showing. We do not knoV
where he got his seed, but we do
know that when we were trying to
raise tobacco at the Roost we
spent many hours, days and weeks
hunting for just such seed.
Besides his other crops, and ne
is not a one-crop farmer, he . spld
from his melon, patch over $250
worth of melons. Yes, he is a
good farmer.
Our sEctek of ladies and misses suits is now
complete and we have a better stock than
we will have later on, so the earlier you
J come the more you will have to select from.
est designs and at very reasonable prices.
The ladies who have been in to see them
have said many nice things about our selec
ting and iudffin from the way they have
bought them they meant what they said. M
Snould you wisn somexnmg uiai we , naven u

r.Qvnpnl'and mixed materials. We will save
M you some niQney on your long coat, too, if
you will let us.
We have always heard that "the. longest
