Mayor Hughes's Old For,

Fort Mill Times: Of the nu-
merous mercantile establishments
that were in business here 20
years ago just one is now in ex-
istence, and even this one has
undergone change in firm mem
bership. Mr.. l.. j. Massey was
then in partnership with Mr..
T. M. Hughes, who some years
ago moved to Lancaster and is
now one of the largest merchants
of that town, besides having
been honOred by his fellow-citi-

ton to the office of mayor. Mas
sey 4 Hughes did mot sell the
rich man goods at cost and charge

GreatsAuto ReAd.
One to be Construcfed frosn
Atlanta to New Qe -
Lancaster on One 6f
Proposed Routes. s =;
Columbia state.

Plans for including Coktfi1 bt#
and a number of South Caro- diaa
points on the proposed autonQx
bile road from Atlanta through
Washington to Northern cities'
will be pushed at once. Mern-
bers of the Columbia Automobile
club have held a consultations
with several of the officials of
the counties through which ne
road would pass should it xhs
built through this section, and
it is believed that with coopera-
ton on the palr of other towns
the highway will be changed.
AS planned at present, the road
would pass through the north
ern part of the State, taking in
Spartanburg and Greenville and
from there by air line to the
North. The route proposed by
the Columbia motorists and others
would have the road come through
Augusta and from there through
Aiken, Batesburg, Lexington,
Columbia, Camden. Lancaster,
Rock Hill and on to the North.
Yesterday DR.. Z. M. Whaley,
the president of the Columbia
Automobile club. wrote Mr..
Frank Weldon, the chairman of
the press committee of the Good
Roads Club of Georgia, stating
that he would at any time meet
with representatives of the pro-
posed road and point out the ad-
vantages of a well constructed
road by way of Augusta and Col
umbia. The matter was also
taken up by County Supervisor
Owens, who received letter
from Mr.. Weldon, stating that
the road work of sand and clay
mixture seemed to have solved
the problem of good roads at
very low prices.
DIR. Whaley has also taken up
the matter with the mayor of
Augusta and the mayor of Aiken
and believes that in this manner
something will be done.
1t is pointed out that there is
now on direct line about 12O
miles of good road along this
route and that, with the excep-
ton of short section in Ker-
shaw, very little work would be
necessary. The route proposed
by those in Atlanta would be
through the mountain section
and would be practically impass-
able during the winter months
when the tourists would be like
ly to use them on extended trips
to the South In addition the
cost of construction and main
tenance would be prohibitive for
the present. and it is considered
extremely doubtful if the cooper
alton of the various counties in
that section could be secured be-
cause of this. Mr.. Weldon will
probably make preliminary sur
vey by automobile of this route
next month and in the meantime
the members of the local club as
sisted by county officials and
others interested in the highway
throughout the State will aid in
changing the route.

THE TRESTLE TRAGEDY.

Was, it is Believed, Aaron
Ford, of Fairfield.
1t is now reasonably certain
that the strange negro who died
near here Friday night of last
week from injuries received, pre-
sumably, from falling off rail
road trestle west of town, was
Aaron Ford, from Fairfield coun-
ty. A man answering to his
description, and giving Aaron
Ford as his name, stopped at the
home of Mr.. Earnest Bell in the
Tank section. twelve miles from
Lancaster, the night before
about 10 O'Clock and inquired
the way to the nearest trial JUS
tice and the distance to Lancas-
ter, where Sheriff Hunter could
be found. The negro was badly
frightened and had evidently
been travelling fast. He said
ne was being chased by a crowd
of negroes from his home in
Fairfield who wanted to lynch
him for an alleged attempt at
criminal assault, and that he
had crossed the river and was
making his wayito a magistrate
or the sheriff for protection. He
said he knew Sheriff Hunter
and preferred to surrender to
him. Mr., Bell directed the man
how to reach Lancaster, az he
at once struck out in haste on
the road to this place. 1t is
thought that in crossing the
the railroad trestle Thursday
night or early Friday morning
he accidentally fell, sustaining

Dethroned Ruler a Prisoner

Deposed Sultan of Turkey,
With His Four Wives,
Five Daughters, Two Sons
and Servants, Taken From
Yildiz Palace to Large
House With Walled
Grounds on a Height Over
looking Saloniki.
Constantinople, April 20.
The former ruler of the empire,
Abdul Hamid III, is to be kept a
prisoner in a large house with
walled grounds on a height over
looking Saloniki, which has late
ly been occupied by the Italian
commander of the international
gendarmerie. He is not to be
put on trial, as has been widely
reported in Constantinople, for
he is considered to be above the
law.
1t was thought wise to keep
the deposed Sultan in European
Turkey, remote from the capital.
His household will be admin
istered for him upon generous
scale, and his life will be safeguar-
ded, as he earnestly besought
when notified of his death by
dethronement.
Abdul Hamid, with four wives,
five daughters, and two of his
younger sons. two eunuchs and a
comparatively large number OF
female servants, was taken from
the Yildiz palace last night and
started under an escort to Salo-
niki.

James Fisk Jr., had been peddler

and James had been brought up in that
life. absorbing all the bluff nerve and
fashy display characteristic of the
travelling vendors of Yankee notions
and tinware, who were conspicuous
in the early days, before merchandise
ing had developed to a perfect sys-

been prince of peddlers and his wag-
on was spectacular in appearance, be
ing painted in the brightest colors to
which he drove four we'll groomed
horses that always attracted a large
crowd of rural admirers wherever he
went.
A story of an incident of the days
when he was travelling with his father

honesty. An old woman charged Fisk,
Sr., with having misrepresented the
value and quality of a piece of calico,

A SALVATION ARMy's pREpIcAMsNr

The Salvation Army Is in bad odoI
with the Illinois Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation and if the suggestion of the
president of the association is needed
the army may be barred from the sa
looms and denied the privilege of So
Letting contributions from saloon pat
rons. The army committed the "un-
pardonable sin" when its members took
part in temperance parade last fall
This is the suggestion from President
Rhodes report:
/ would suggest that hereafter our
members kindly but firmly request the
Salvation Army not to enter their
places of business. The Salvation
lassies have for years been welcome
visitors to our saloons, and each one
will declare that the larger portion of
their collections come from saloon
keepers and their customers. 1t dis
played, to say the least, gross ingrati-
tude for them to march last fall in a
temperance parade, which had for its
object the ruination and contiscation
of the business of their most liberal
contributors. We do not dispute their
rights as American citizens to act as
they please but they have no right to
enlist under the prohibition flag and
still continue to invade our places of
business soliciting funds.
The Salvation Army is in the same
predicament with the habitue of the
bar who finds himself without funds
It's question of cash or the marble
heart. For the salvarionists it's a
choice between religious and moral
duty and the permission of the saloon
ist to enter soliciting funds wherewith
the lost and needy may be rescued and
assisted.
1t is hard to see how the Salvation
Army is TO square itself with the sa-
less it takes to drink Anybody who
will buy drink is welcome.
