JOR TRIAL
Committal Trial in Glover
Case Was Held.
Testimony Adducted Warranted Hold
tag of the Defendant for Trial, In
the Opinion of Presiding Justice
Mott.
After an exhaustive hearing of tes
timony in the committal trial of
.Valter Glover, charged with murder.
Justice I. N. Mott ou yesterday morn
ing remanded the defendant back to
jail, there to remain until the case
against him and Nick Lamar is tried
in the Superior court here.
The case is not a bailable one, and
the hearing was to determine whether
the testimony warranted the holding
of the defendant, or whether he should
go free.
Both, the state and defense an
nounced ready, after having indulged
in considerable discussion as to
whether Nick Lamar should be tried
likewise yesterday, the state insist
ing thereupon, while counsel for the
other side elected to try only the
case of Walter Glover at this time.
Eight witnesses were sworn, air
though but four were used.
Court Room is Clearned.
The courtroom was filled to capac
ity, almost, with a throng eager to
hear the evidence, but upon motion
of state’s counsel the room was clear
ed of all except those interested, as
the hearing of testimony under oath
would Lave disqualified prfTbably 150
citizens as probable jurors.
Both defendants in the Gunn homi
cide, Nick Umar and Walter Glover,
were brought into court and heard
the testimony adduced in the trial ol
the latter.
Dr. W. IS. Prather was the first wit
ness called and told of having ex
amined the body of Eugene Gunn as
it lay in the corridor of the Jackson
hotel on Saturday night, Oct. 29,
The bullet wound, the witness said
was in the heart. He had examined
the pockets of the dead man and
found therein 10 cents in money, keys,
tobacco and papers. Gunn’s penknife,
a four-biaded pearl handle one, was
found in his left trousers’ pocket and
closed. He found no other weapon
about him.
A small flask of whiskey was in
one of the pockets, while 15 cents
lay t>y the body.
Testimony of Mr. Anglin.
The second witness up was Mr.
Zack T. Anglin, proprietor of the ho
tel, who testified that ihe was in
another room with' a half dozen guests
of the house when informed that a
fight was in progress in the corridor.
He went out and found Glover, La
mar and Gunn fighting.
One of the men in the difficulty, he
stated, called out several times, “God
damn him; shoot him, shoot him!”
Gunn was standing up and backing
off with Glover kicking at him.
At this juncture, the witness said,
Lamar advanced with a revolver. An
glin asked him not to shoot, and
Eugene Gunn, the witness staled, beg
ged Lamar not to shoot him, saying.
“Nick, don’t shoot me.”
Lamar’s reply was: “Damn you, 1
will.” At this juncture Gunn was
standing erect, near the wall. The
first 'bullet missed, while the second
shot took effect. Immediately after
the shooting both Lamar and Glover
left the house. Gunn was then dead
Mr. Anglin saw only the three men
mentioned during the shooting, though
others appeared soon after.
Exnmincd by Defense.
On cross examination, Mr. Anglin
told of the presence of several men
in a nearby room where a card
was in progress, and gave the names},
of those who were in the other robin
with himself, guests of the
when the fight started outside. He
sail that he saw an open knife in
Gunn’s hand.
Mr. Anglin also drew a diagram,
showing the location of rooms in Ah/>
hotel and particularly that in which
the men were playing cards.
Testimony of Mr. Teek.
Mr. T. A. Teek, of Tfromasville, a
traveling salesman, was in the roo
with Mr. Anglin when the fight startV
ed. Mr. Teek testified that he heard a
man exclaim: “Shoot him, Nick,
shoot him, or give me the pistol.” He
heard the shots and the groans of
Gunn as he fell to the floor, a corpse.
Mr. Teek went Into the corridor af
ter the firing. Mr. AngMn was there
at the time, he stated.

FOOT BALL
INTEREST IS
LOOKING IIP
Teams Gould Be Farmed at
High School and College.
Plenty ot Good Materiel Among the
Sturdy and Nervy Boys at Those
Institutions—lnterest tn Game is
Spreading in Smaller Cities.
“There is one thing that Americus
is decidedly shy on in the way of
fine sports,” said an observant citi
zen yesterday, “and that is football.
As far as I can recall there has never!
been a game of football here, not in ■
the past fifteen or twenty years any-1
way. It is a good, blood-stirring, I
healthful sport, and now that some o?
the objectionable features of the play
have been eliminated I think we could
heartily enjoy a game here.”
The football spirit is very strong
in the larger Georgia cities and to
some extent has invaded the smaller
towns where they have a higher ed
ucational institution. Many of the
high schools in the smaller places are
organizing teams and it will not be
iong .before there will be numerous
teams with) which engagements couli
be had.
Nothing hag been done at either the
High School or the Agricultural Col- j
lege toward organizing ,a footbjall
team for this season. There is good
material in both institutions and it
would not be a difficult matter to get
up a couple of teams that could meet
those from similar institutions else
where with a fair chance of victory
perching on the Americas colors.
It is not improbable with the great
ly awakened interest in clean ath
'etics in the High School and out at
the college that .before the season
has come to a close football will ce
added to those recreations open to
the sturdy boys at each.

ONLY 1600 NEGRO DOC
TORS IN UNITED STATES.
Number in the South Grad
ually Growing.
Washington, D. C., November 4.
During the first years of the work the
educational requirements for the stu
dy of medicine v were lamentably low,
though equal in most cases to those
then required by many of the 'white
medilcal colleges; the laboratory
equipments were inadequate and the
clinical advantages limited. The re
medical schools have been gradually
fcuirements for admission to negro
raised until now at least a four years'
high school course or its equivalent
is demanded; the laboratories are
better equipped and the students are'
provided with a fair amount of clini
cal work.
In the earlier years so great was
the demand for general practitioners
that little was attempted to the negro
medical schools in the way of train
but this condition Is gradually change
ing surgeons or medical
- oT
colored physicians have a good record’
as surgeons, while a few are devot, l
ing themselves largely to the treat*
ment of special diseases.
It Is estimated that there are now
8,000,000 co’ored people living in the
Southwestern states and that there are
only about 1,000 negro physicians to
minister to their needs, or one physi
' clan to 5,000 of his people. This is
about one-ninth as large as the pro
portion of physicians to the entire pop
ulation of the United States.

Will Sell Out Interests and Come
to Sumter For Location.
Mr. F. D. Mitchell, who recently
bought the Josey peach farm and
moved here from Bluefieid, West Vir
ginia, is so pleased with Sumter coun
ty and so thoroughly satisfied that it
is a desirable place for residence and
faming operations, that he is bring
ing it 3 virtues to the attention of ail
Ms oIM acquaintances, with the view
of taducing some of them to locate
here also.
One friend in New York state, who
Is a miller there, has been served with
copies of the pamphlets issued by the
Board of Trade and also copies of
the Times-Recorder, until his enthus
iasm has become as great as that of
Mr. Mitchell, and in a letter received
this week he announces his intention
of disposing of his Northern property
and coming to Sumter for a location.
Ho feels that in this climate, under
the progressive conditions existing
here, there is more opportunity and
more satisfaction to be bad in living.
Mr. Mitchell intends keeping up
the work of acquainting everyone he
knows with what is offered them here
and through this instrumentality oth
ers may be brought to Sumter.
Another party who Das incessantly
■advertised Sumter counfty wherever
he has gone has been Mr. Britton, the
soil expert, who made up the soil
may of iSumter county. Mr. Britton
3ent lists of names from the West to
the Board of Trade and everywhere
talked up this section as tbe best for
prospective settlers.
'lf tbe old citizens of Sumter would
shew as much interest as these two
men have done in this way the fame
of Sumter would be vastly wider
spread than 'it is.
