ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING AT FOREST HOME.
  Last Saturday evening at Shank's Mill at Forest Home, Grover Sims 
accidentally shot and killed Royal Weaver says the Greenville Living 
Truth. Young Sims is about sixteen years old and Weaver had just 
reached his majority. Sims has been working at the mill that day, and 
just as the mill was about to shut down some one came with corn to 
exchange for meal.
  A gun was in the path to the door and as young Sims started up 
stairs the gun was discharged the load striking young Weaver, who was 
just behind him. The shooting was entirely accidental and no one 
regrets it more than young Sims.
