MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Jealousy Impels Private Hackerty to
Kill Hia Attractive Wife and Then
Himself.
Charleston, 6. C., Aug. 3.—At 2
o clock this morning, Lewis Hackerty.
a private In the Tenth United States
Artillery, stationed at the Sullivan's
Island post, killed his wife, and im
mediately afterwards shot himself.
His wife had been orginally Miss
Hattie. Harvey of this city, and subse
quently Mrs. Capt. Harry Lewis. She
was a very attractive woman, and giv
en much to society. Jealousy, which
was probably more than Justified, was
the cause of Hackerty's rash action.
He shot his wife through the head,
killing her instantly. The special ob
pect of his Jealous rage was a fellow
soldier named Messer.
The dead soldier’s body was taken
charge of by the military authorities,
but that of his wife will be left for
burial at the public expense. Tne cor
oner has called an inquest for to-mor
row morning.
LOCOMOBILE VICTIM DIES.
Colnmbin Will Probably Legislate
Against Tl>i Type of Auto,
Columbia, S. C.. Aug. 3.—The death
of Mrs. Miles resulting from being
struck by a locomobile may cause some
legislation against that particular kind
of vehicle. This special machine is a
sir-seated concern, and frightens
horses and mules as badly as a loco
motive engine if it was not on the high.-
•way. Numbers of horses have been
stampeded on the county roads around
Columbia and serious accidents nar
rowly escaped. Drivers of nervous and
high-strung horses are kept in a state
of anxiety when taking an afternoon
drive, for fear this steam monster may
be on the same road.
The question has been asked whether
it is legal for a machine of this char*,
acter to be operated on the public
roads when its presence there imperils
the lives of women and children. Would
a locomotive engine be permitted to
be used on the streets and roads as a
pleasure vehicle if it was practicable to
run it without rails.
To the modest electric and gasoline
automobiles there is no objection, but
the other steam monster frightens
horses into spasms.
The special committee appointed at
the recent meeting here of the Farm
ers’ Alliance to build up and rejuvin
ate the order in South Carolina has al
ready gone to work. The committee
has a fund at its disposal to use in
this endeavor and its first step was to
secure a state lecturer and organizer,
and for this office the committee pro
cured big timber. Hon. J. C. Wilborn,
who is president of the National Farm
ers’ Alliance and is also chairman of
the South Carolina Railroad Commis
sion. has undertaken the task of in
fusing new life into the dormant so
ciety. He will begin a canvass of the
state at once.
FATAL SHOOTING AT TALBOTTON.
Prominent Citizen Kills Negro Who
Had Threatened His Life.
Talbotton, Ga., Aug. 3.—Garneygee
Horton, colored, was shot and killed
by Ben Childers, a prominent citizen
of this county, this evening at 4 o’clock
at this place. Horton had a difficulty
with Mr. Childers last year, who ran
him out of his field. Horton afterwards
stated that he intended killing Childers
whenever he met him again.
Mr. Childers met the negro in Per
sons Bros’ store to-day. The negro
saw Childers approaching him with a
pistol and ran. Jumping out a window
at the rear of the store. Childers shot
him as soon as he reached the ground.
The negro ran about twenty-five yards
after he was shot and fell dead. The
ball entered the right shoulder.
The negro was a bad character, and
was at the time of his death working
out a fine that was paid by Mr. Helms,
in order to get him out of Jail. All
is quiet to-night.
Very little excitement was produced
by the killing. There is at this hour
very little sympathy manifested for the
negro by the colored people.
HOMICIDE NEAR WKIGHTSVILLE.
Charles Price Shat and Killed by
Charles Redding.
Wrightsville, Ga., Aug. 3.—Yesterday
afternoon about 4 o’clock Mr. Charlie
Bedding, four miles from this place,
west, shot and killed his brother-in
law. Charles Price. It seems that there
had been some trouble between them,
and the deceased had threatened to
kill the former. He was passing the
home of Price, who was working in a
field near the road, and when Redding
got opposite where he was at work.
Price got over the fence and made an
attack on him with a knife. Redding,
so he states, had no avenue of escape
from the attack, and was forced, in
self-defense, to draw his pistol, shoot
ing Price four times. From the effects
of the wopnds he died a short while
later. Redding came over this morn
ing and gave himself up to Sheriff J.
W. Linder.
