DEAD MAN’S WELL BURIED UNDER ROAD
PLEASANT GARDEN SCENE OF

NEWTON MILLS—HIS BRAVADO
Gnawing By Conscience Made Him Defiant Toward Men, Following
His Killing of Benetiel.
“To everything there is a reason, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to kill, and a time
to heal.”
When C. Newton Mills quoted these words from Ecclesiastes to Foster Pickett, at Reelsville, not long after the Civil war, he asked Pickett’s opinion as to their significance. ‘What do you think ‘A time to kill,’ means, Foster?” 1 rather believe it means that there are times when men must kill.” Which was only a generalization of Mr. Pickett’s part, but Mills went on down the road with his countenance
brightened.
However, not far from where he had talked to Mr. Pickett, he encountered a telephone lineman, working for the A’andalia railroad, and to him he put the same query. “Well, brother," said the lineman, “I reckon it mean.* there is a time when we ought to kill our hog meat, ami such. That’s about all I kin get
out of it.”
The brightness which showed on Mills’ face following his conversation with Mr. Pickett faded, and gloom re-
turned.
This change of emotions was evident, notwithstanding the fact that Mills had established n reputation of being “hard-boiled,” of being a “bad .■’cmr,'’ and such. Men were somewhat afraid of him. The basis of this reputation was his killing of Newton Beneflel, during ohe Civil w;#-, in a fight at Mills’ ((Toggery at Webster’s mill, which was
The Quality Shop J. H. Pitchford
on Big Walnut, several miles below Reelsville. Mills was tried hut the jury decided he had provocation sufficient to amount to self-defense, and he was acquitted. A Scotch jury might have reported “not proven,” rather than “not guilty.” We may believe that Mills’ memorit s of that event were the cause of his evident desire that the Preacher’s words in Ecclesiastes be interpreted to justify his killing of Beneflel — that “a time to kill” was a Scriptural statement of a fore-ordination in the beginning of time that Benefiel’s death should occur in just that manner, which, if it were true, would, Mills may have hoped, take from him the moral responsibility for his deed and place it upon the shoulders of the Deity. That, we may accept as a fact, was what Mills wanted to believe, and he was, therefore, openly pleased when Pickett’s general interpretation of the passage coincided with Mills’ desire, and he was openly depressed when the telephone lineman coupled the killing with hogs, rather than with human beings. Through the years intervening between the homicide at Webster’s mill and the quoting of the Biblical passage to Pickett, we are now sure there was a determined effort on the part of Mills to turn a defiant Lace toward the inward prosecutor who, we may believe, constantly kept a finger of accusation pointed at him—a subjective defiance, by Mills, which showed itself on the surface of the man’s personality in an appearance of bravado, leading him to speak big words and make brave gestures that caused men to fear him. Here is an instance of this: There was one time that Mills found, back in the woods north of Reelsville, two men with stolen horses and he forced them to march to town to pay the penalty of their thievery. “What right have you to do this?” asked one of the horse thieves, as they marched. “The right of might," he replied, with a big oath. But that boasted might of his did not operate to make him really brave —at night and alone, at least. Many times he asked Mr. Pickett and other men to let him walk home with them. He feared retribution, and it nearly came upon him once, when he was living at Reelsville. In the middle of the night, he was called to the door anil was fired at by a man with a shot gun. The pellets wounded him and his wife, also, she having followed him to the door, but no seriously. The Dead Man’s AV’ell Earlier than all this was a possible murder whirh was charged to Mills in the neighborhood talk, never formally. When he was living at Pleasant Garden, on the National Road, years
