Williams will carry through his project
to a successful end. He never mas
been connected with failure ana ne
has the money to make II go from
the beginning. With the long telIli
concession that he has obtained from
the Mexican government he Will pc
able to operate at Tia Juana undls-
turbed for several years and viii not
be liable to any adverse Legislation.
With him at the head oh the new
Jockey club it will be no trick at ali
to induce the same prominent morse
California meetings, and the san Diego
citizens will witness some racing next
winter that the metropolitan folk are
wont to patroniZe during the summer
Whether there is a sufficient popu-
lation at San Diego to support met
ropoiitan race meeting is one qVesson'
hut with its 10000 inhabitants and the
natural increase that the tourist and
turf contingent will put to its floating
population during the winter months
there is slight opportunity for DOUBT
that the meeting will not be well pat
ronized. Not only is all this true, but
it also is true that Los Angeles VIII
furnish its share of support: as oaliy
race specials undoubtedly will be run
from here by the railroads running
into the southern city. The distance Is
not too great to permit of TINS Los
Angeles support.
There has been much speculation as
to whether it is Williams or Spreckels
who is interested in the southern en-
terprise, but information received last
night indicates that it is Williams. the
latter has been in conference with the
Mexican officials regarding the pros
poets of racing in the southern repuo-
lie and he knows the situation netter
thar ANYBODY else beyond all doubt.
He is in better position to get the con-
cession than anybody else, and the
story that he has been given this con-
coecion is generally credited.

Then she began again and seemed to be

Smith Greater Shows.

The Smith aggregation of shows
will pitch their tents in Edgefeld
on Monday next and will remain
throughout the entire week. The
Smith shows are coming under the
auspices of the EdgeGeld chapter
of the Daughters of the Confedera-
cy, arrangements having been effect
ed whereby that organization is to
receive certain per cent of the
earnings while in town. The
Daughters request the co-opera-
tion Of the veterans throughout the
county in making their undertaking
a financial success. Mr.. Smit his
show gave an exhibition in our
town one week. during January of
last year, leaving a. very favorab BILE
impression behind. In fact, this at
traction is one of the few aggrega-
tions on the road that receives
favorable notices from the press,
most of them being condemned.
Every part of the show is said to
be high-class, nothing obscene or
questionable being tolerated. The
manager has told the mayor he
could revoke the license if any OBJ
jectionable feature could be found
in the entire aggregation.

Death of Major S. S. Tompkins.

Major S. S. Tompkins diedH hisres.
idence in Columbia Thursday nighs
January %, and his remains were in
tered in the Edgefeld cemetery Sat-
urday morning.
Maj. TompEins was the oldest surviv-
ing member of the Tompkins family,
who were among the earliest settlers
of our. county and who have had prom
inent part in making it's history. He
resided here until about 18 years ago,
when he moved his family to Columbia.
Maj. Tompkins possessed astrong, Wig
orous mind and robust body, even al
most to the end, It:can hardly be said
that he was i'll at all. He. complained
of being unwell for several days and
gradually grew weaker until: the end,
life becoming extinct just as the taper
burns out.
Maj. Tompkins was in his ninetieth
year and enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing the oldest surviving alumnus of the
South Carolina university. 1t was the
wont of the students and professors of
the university to frequent his home in
Columbia, plying him with questions
concerning the early history and former
graduates of the institution. He will
be greatly missed by the members of
the university family.
Rev. R. N. Pratt, one OF the Baptist
pastors of Columbia, accompanied the
relatives to Edgefeld, and stated that
during the past twelve years he had
been very intimately associated with
Major Tompkins and that during this
time he had never heard him speak un-
kindly of anyone. On the contrary, he
always had a kind word for everybody.
Mr.. Pratt also stated that Maj. Tomp-
kins realized that his race was nearly
run. and was perfectly resigned.
Maj. Tompkins was twice married,
the children of his first marriage being
D. H., B. Tompkins and Mrs. Henri
eta Carter. His second wife survives
him; also two daughters, Miss Julia P.
Tompkins and Mrs. w. H. Walter, and
two sons, L. S. and T. w. Tompkins.
Among those who accompanied the
remains from Columbia were Misses
Isolee Shaffer, Matte May Mcintyre,
Mr.. S. T, Carter, w. M. Carter and
Hon. F. S. Tompkins.

Berea School House Burned.

1t. was with deep regret that we
learned on yesterday that the Berea
school house was burned about noon
Monday. The fire caught in the at
tic from the chimney and was not
discovered until the roof was nearly
falling in. The boys were some dis
tance away playing during the noon
recess and the teacher, Mrs. Walter
Nicholson, assisted by the girls, was
dusting out the. church near by.
That is why the fire was not dis
covered earlier. Unless the trustees
and patrons had the building in
sured the loss will be something
like $500 or more.
