Drowned in Lynche's River.

Lake City, July 16.-Frank Ken
nedy, a young man about Is years
old, was accidentally drowned in
Lynche's river, at Courtney's point
about seven miles from here, late
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Kennedy, who could not swim,
was bathing with several boys and
men. 1t seems that Mr.. Kennedy and
Press Hyman, boy about Is, got
into a canoe to go from one point to
another. Hyman, who was standing
up, either fell out or jumped out. The
boat overturned and threw Mr.. Ken
nedy into the water. At this point the
water was only deep enough to reach
Mr.. Kennedy's chest had he stood on
his feet, but he seemed to become
paralyzed with terror and every ef-
fort to save him failed. Up to this
time the body has not been recovered.
Mr.. Kennedy was son Of Geo. E.
Kennedy, of the High Hill neighbor-
hood, an energetic farmer and good
citizen, and the tragic death of his
son is a shock to his family and
leighbors.

Still in Speakership Race.

Burlingame, Kan, July 1S.-Jo-
seph G. Cannon will not take himself
out of the race for speakership OF the
next house of representatives. This
he made plain near the conclusion OF
his speech at Emporia, Kan, this af-
ternoon. He said he would abide by
the will of the Republican caucus If
the Republicans control the next con-
gress, but that no Undertaking maga-
zine" could make him say he would
not be a candidate. In other words
he said, he would not make an ef-
fort to win the speakership; yet the
emphasis with which he spoke made it
plain that if the Republican caucus
should nominate him he would be
willing to serve.
Speaker Cannon's remarks on the
speakership were made just before
he left the platform at Emporia to
catch a train for Burlingame, where
tonight he made his third political
speech in the Kansas primary cam
paign.

We feel that the meeting here
Tuesday in the interest of good roads
has given a great impetus to better
highways in Bamberg county. AT
the meeting Mr.. Winslow read a let
ter from Supervisor J. B. Kearse re-
GREETING that he could not be pres
ent and giving some figures as to the
road mileage in the county, the num-
Der of miles of sand-clay roads, and
the amount received by the county
for support of the chain gang and
repairing of bridges. 1t was regret
ted that the supervisor could not be
present, as it was felt that he could
have received valuable and practi-
cal ideas from Mr.. Winslow. How
ever, others heard these plans, and it
will be the work of the League or
ganized at the meeting to make the
organization cover the entire county,
and to this end members are solicit
ed from every section. The League
wants to be of practical assistance to
the officers in improving the highways
of the county, and in this work the as
sistance of every citizen is needed.
With organized, persistent effort
much can be accomplished, and we
feel sure the supervisor and all his
force will gladly cooperate with the
Good Roads League. Now, let's get
to business and see if we cannot show
results.

LAWSUIT OVER VANDERBILT.
Courts Will Settle Differences BE
tween Board and Bishops.

The differences between the board
of trust, of Vanderbilt university,
and the college of bishops, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
over the control of the university will
be threshed out in the courts. Such
is the meaning of the action OF the
bishops. With Bishops Kilgo, Lam
buth and Hendrix absent, the college
of bishops rejected the idea of any
compromise and named committee,
with Bishop Collins Denny as chair
man, to carry out an agreed-upon pro-
gram of a.lawsuit. Bishop Hendrix,
who is president of the board of trust
of Vanderbilt university, attended the
morning session of the bishops and
opposed the plan, which was adopted
at the afternoon session, at which he
was not present.
Details of the planned litigation
were not made public.

NEGRO RIDDLED BY MOB.
White Woman's Assailant Taken
from Constable and Lynched.

Sylvania, Ca, July 18.-Ending a
two days pursuit, mob during last
night took Evan Roberts, a negro,
from Constable C. V. Riggs, in the
lower part of this county, strung the
negro up to the limb of an oak tree
and poured at least 500 bullets into
his body.
The negro attacked two white wo-
men who were driving along lone
ly road Saturday afternoon in bug
gy. The horse became frightened and
ran away and took the women out OF
danger, though the negro pursued
them with pistol. Constable Riggs
captured Roberts and hid him from
the mob for twelve hours. Short work
was made of the negro when his hid
ing place was found.

The Greenwood Index, usually a


The Greenwood Index, usually an
accurate forecaster as to political
matters, believes from the reports
it gets that Featherstone will lead the
primary forSgovernor, with Blease or
Mcleod a close second, with Hyatt,
Richards and Duncan following in the
order named. This newspaper does
not pretend to be a political prophet,
and we are not informed as to con-
ditions in the up-country, but since
the campaign meetings have leen
held in this part of the State we have
been at some pains to inquire as to
sentiment. From what we can gath
er Featherstone has lead over any
other candidate, but Richards and
Mcleod are gaining strength. Most
of McLeod's vote is coming from the
former Blease vote, and it is ou1
candid opinion that in this section OF
the State at least Blease will get a
much smaller vote than usual, his
vote going to Mcleod. Richards is
getting some of the Featherstone vote
down here, while Mr.. Hyatt's candi
dacy is not making a serious impress
sion, Not that he does not make
good speeches and is we'll received
but the people generally seem tc
have the idea that this is not his time
to run.

We heartily agree with the edito-
rial from the Spartanburg Journal
which I'VE republish in another COL
umn. We do not need more circuits
nor more judges, nor do we believe
that any of the present judges are
overworked. The State is not a hard
taskmaster, and it is the first time
we have ever heard of anybody in
any department of government SER
vice dying from overwork. From
the number of candidates for these
positions, We would judge that the
position was pretty much of soft
snap. However, we need judges who
will force the dispatch of business
Instead of going in slow, poke-easy
sort of way, allowing the lawyers to
consume practically an entire day
in trying one little petty case. OF the
men retired from the judgeship some
years ago by the political unheaval,
we know of none who were incapaci-
ted by overwork. And no one can
question their ability or devotion to
duty.

Those voters who are in favor OF
prohibition seem to be centering their
hopes for a Statewide law on the
election of governor, but there is
where they are off the track. A
governor cannot enact laws, and it
should be remembered that the leg
.islature is our only law-making body.
III you want prohibition, vote for a
representative or senator who is in
favor of such law; if you want
local option, vote for the candidate
who represents this idea of settling
the whiskey question. So far as Bam-
berg county is concerned, we consider
the. whiskey question settled. Our
people have voted On the question,
and their decision should be final
until they say by their vote that
they want change. =

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE.
Aiken County Citizen Seriously
Wounded by Unknown Party.

Augusta. Ca, July 16.-Ben Han
kinson, a prominent white farmer,
living a few miles from Langley, S.
c., was shot by some party, as yet
unknown. and probably fatally
wounded yesterday, while on his way
home from Langley, where he had
been on business Complete mystery
surrounds the tragedy, which occur
red on a secluded road, hedged in by
very thick growth of bushes on
either side; the spot of the alleged at
tack being at dip in the road, be-
tween two hills, and about $50 yards
from the nearest house. The spot
where the shooting took place is a
mile and a half from Mr.. Hankin-
sons house.
Mr.. Hankinson says he was riding
along the road near the Rockhill
colored church, close to the residence
of Mr.. A. P. Franklin, and a man
with a dark mustache came from be-
hind a bush and fired two shots at
him. The unknown assassin missed
his first aim, but the second shot
pierced the left breast of Mr.. Han
kinson, just above the heart, and
went through the back of the bug
gy seat, falling to the ground close
by.
The physician who examined Mr..
Hankinson said had it not been for
the muscular contraction of the heart,
the bullet would have hit vital or
gan, causing instant death. The bull
let barely missed the heart.
At a late hour tonight Mr.. Han
kinson was reported to be in a very
serious condition.

the money would reach her within a
few days. Mrs. Hollins admitted that
DR.. Wyming has a very likeable son
Harry, who the doctor wishes her to
marry.

that he would give me so much
money"

1t is announced by Mr.. E. J. Wat
son, State commissioner of agrlcul-
ture and immigration, that he has
been offered a position by the United
States government at an increased
salary. He says that he has not yet
decided to accept, but is thinking
over the matter. Of course he will
take it, and we know of no one who
can draw a salary with greater ease
and efficiency than our present COM
missioner. 1t will be a good thing
for South Carolina if he does accept,
SO that the position he now holds can
be abolished, for, as we see 1t, no
good results are being obtained for
the money expended on this depart
ment.

w. H. Fulmer Commits Suicide.

Mr.. William Fulmer, an old and
respected farmer of the Shiloh Sec
ton, committed suicide Sunday
night by hanging himself in the
buggy shed of one of his neighbors.
For some time he has been in a
melancholy state of mind and only
recently, it is reported, made an
effort to kill himself. Saturday
night, after big rain storm, he left
his home and wandered off to some
unknown place. Sunday he spent
the day with Mr.. John Busbee, who
lives several miles from Mr.. Fulmer
and towards night he complained of
feeling bad. Saying that he was
going to the home of another of his
neighbors, he left the house alone,
and until found dead, was not heard
Of again. Yesterday morning, some
one going to Mr.. Busbee's shed to
feed, found Mr.. Fulmer hanging over
the rear of the buggy with a drlv-
ing rein looped around his neck.
Judging from the surroundings, he
had run the line over the rafter
above looped the line around his
neck and jumped off.
MIR. Fulmer was somewhat feeble
minded and had at one time been an
inmate of the State sanitarium at
Columbia. His family is prominent
one in that section and they have the
sympathy of many friends.-Aiken
