FIRED AT PREACHER
IN WAXHAW CHURCH
Rev. Mcdonald Seems to Have
an Enemy Who Would
Do Him Up.

A negro preacher named Will
liam Mcdonald, whose church is
in Waxhaw, N. c., a short dis
tance across the State line, had
hard luck Sunday night, when
things in this case bullets
cS,ne his way too fast to be
lodged. Two or three shots that
were fired at McDonald's body
went true to aim, and the preach
er is now suffering from a pair of
wounds, neither of which is con-
sidered serious. Mcdonald is a
South Carolina negro who moved
from Fort Lawn to Waxhaw
some time ago. Like most of the
Palmetto States colored popula-
ton, whether preacher or plaster
er, he is tough, and this fact
lends hope that he is hiking along
the road to recovery by this
time. At any rate, it won't be
the fault of the good wishes ex-
pressed for Mcdonald in his
native State if he doesn't get
we'll. But really there wasn't
any use for Charlotte to become
widely excited over the shootin'
of Mcdonald and talk about
sendin' down a pack of worth
less bloodhounds to run down the
nigger who tried to summarily
dispatch Mcdonald, for the
ground was frozen Sunday night
and even good South Carolina
bloodhounds can't accomplish
much in the merry game of
trackin' bad niggers over ice.
Their nasal organs refuse to get
on the job.
But according to a telephone
message received in Fort Mill
via Charlotte, the shooting of
Mcdonald was a little out of the
ordinary. 1t is stated that he
was kneeling in prayer when
three shots were fired at him
through a rear window of the
church. Two of the shots took
effect and Mcdonald fell forward
slightly wounded. One of the
shots connected with a watch in
McDonald's vest pocket and
changed its course, much to the
delight of Mcdonald and his
friends. When the shooting was
over every negro that was in
the church when it began had
hit the grit. An effort was made
to capture the nigger who would
have killed the Rev. but he got
away.

The Times a Welcome Visitor.
Editor Fort Mill Times:

Editor Fort Mill Times:
1t is certainly the cause of
much pleasure to the subscribers
of your paper to note the recent
improvements which have oc-
Cured both in the mechanical
get-up and the additional news
items which appear each week
in The Times. To those of US
who are living in neighboring
towns The Times is a welcome
visitor and especially has this
been true for the past few
months. The edition under date
of Jan. 27 was the best issue it
has ever been our pleasure to
read.
The front page has every APP
pearance of d daily with its plea
headlines and neat cuts of promi-
nent people. The editorial page
was also an interesting feature
and we admire your original
editorials very much. The local
page is well gotten up and full
of short items OF interest to Fort
Mill people. The arrangement
of advertisements throughout
the entire paper is splendid and
the reading matter in the ma
jority of them is the kind which
catches the eye of the prospective
buyer.
We fell sure that you will keep
this good work up and grow with
the town which from present
prospects will keep you hustling
to do. We are of the same
opinion as Squire McElhaney,
if you do get a new county in
your part of the State, Fort Mill,
by all the laws of nature and
justice, must be the county seat.
We trust that you will receive
this short note of congratulation
in the same spirit in which it is
written; a simple and sincere eX-
preston of a native of Fort Mill
who loves the town and its peo-
pie and who will always be
eager to congratulate them on
every step of progress thay make.

Death of VIM. L. Culp.

VIM. L.. Culp, a young man
who was reared in Fort Mill and
Pleasant Valley, died at his home
in Chester Friday afternoon after
a lingering illness of tuberculosis.
Mr.. Culp was a son of J. B. Culp,
of Charlotte. He had been a
resident of Chester for some
years and it was there that he
was married on December "a,
1900, to Miss Susie Cloud, an
estimable young lady of that
city, who died in November, 1908.
Mr.. Culp is survived by three
little children, all girls, and his
father and several sisters. He
was a good citizen and his death
is sincerely regretted by his
relatives and friends in this
. section. He was a member of
the Chester Masonic lodge and
carried insurance to the amount
of So, 400. The interment was in
the Chester city cemetery Satur-
day afternoon.

Columbia, Feb. 8. The senate
has passed a measure which, if
it receives a favorable considera-
ton at the hands of the house,
will prevent a father from deed
ing his children ID third party
without the consent of the moth
er of the offspring. This bill is
the direct outcome of the Tillman
case which has been on here in
the supreme court for the possess
sion of the little daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr. In
this connection it might be stated
that this contest has attracted
even more than Statewide inter-
est, and nearly everybody seems
to sympathize with Mrs. Tillman
in the determined effort she is
making to regain possession of
the little girls. She has received
hundreds of letters from men
and women all over the State
and outside. 1t seems to be the
impression that it would be the
most unfortunate thing that
could happen to Senator Tillman
to have the supreme court award
these children to him. Of course
this has reference to his political
fortunes. Doubtless he would
turn against himself a large
majority of the men and all the
women, and when the women
take up a fight against a man
and go after his scalp in earnest,
his name is Dennis. !" The re-
port now is that the supreme
court is evenly divided upon the
issue envolved in this case and it
is more than probable that the
circuit judges will be called to
sit en- banc in view of the fact
that constitutional question is
involved.
The prohibition bill was defeat
ed in the senate by a majority of
four votes. The house of repre-
sentatives has, however, passed
such a bill by a very large major
ity. Judging from the action of
the two bodies it is not probable
that any liquor legislation will
be enacted this year.
The general assembly will now
have some time within which to
consider measures which may
rebound to the benefit of at least
some of the people. Nick.

Important Meeting of the D. A. R.

The Kanawha Chapter of the
d. A. R. was charmingly enter
tanned at their regular meeting
the first Tuesday in this month
by Mrs. j. B. Elliott. The
regents alternate was elected
for the national congress which
is to be held at Washington

The chapter has offered a
prize for the best essay on South

member of the graded school

selected by the principal, Prof.
Bauknight, is South Carolina S
Five Greatest Revolutionary

private graveyards and other old

patriots who gave their lives fol
our liberty.

PUBLIC SCHOOL WORK
THAT PROMISES MUCH
Law to Teach Children How to
Prevent Dangerous Diseases
Quite Probable.

The bill in the General AS
sembly providing for teaching in
the public schools of the State
the means by which communica-
BILE diseases may be prevented
stands a fair show of becoming a
law. The bill is an excellent one
and provides that there shall be
taught in every year in every
public school in South Caroline
the principal modes by which
the dangerous communicable dis
eases are spread, said disease to
be designated by the State board
of health, and the best methods
for the restriction and pre-
vention of such disease, and to
test the eyes of pupils by means
of vision charts. The State
board of health shall annually
send to the pubic school superin-
tendents and teachers through
out this State printed data and
statements which shall enable
them to comply with the act.
School boards are required to
direct such superintendent and
teachers to give oral and black
board instruction, using the data
and statements supplied by the
State board of health.

Militia Part of Regular Army.

Under the terms of the Dick
law passed recently by Congress,
the Fort Mill Light Infantry is
directly under the control of
the president of the United
States, this change taking place
a few days ago. Under the new
arrangement the military COM
panies of South Carolina and of
all other States which have
agreed to the terms of the
new law and receive aid
from the United States govern
ment are practically on the same
footing as the regular army, and
may be called or ordered out by
the president at any time, for
any duties that may arise.
All the State military organi-
cations are to be supplied by the
government with a very full and
complete equipment for military
purposes, and the local company
expects to receive this equipment
within the not distant future,
when it will be fully prepared
for all emergencies.
The national guard, in which
the Fort Mill company is in
cluded, is in case of war or
other emergencies called out
before call is made for volun-
teers, thus carrying out the idea
that they are on the same foot
ing as the regular army. The
national guard today numbers
about 12Q, 600 men and officers in
the United States.

with applicants for the place in
that section whether they should
come to Fort Mill for the exami-
nation or go to Lancaster. The
four applicants from Lancaster
county were Jas. o. Hall, John

the census supervisor for this
congressional district at Rodman,
Chester county, and after being
passed upon by that official will

bureau in Washington for final
disposition. 1t is not known
when the successful applicants
will be notified of their appoint
ment. Two enumerators will be
appointed for Fort Mill township

The Appreciation of Sir Hubert.
Rock Hill Record.

Rock Hill Record.
Senator Stewart is ION the
job. The Record does not
hesitate to take this occasion to
commend him for representing
his constituents. He is one of
the very best workers who ever
sat in the General Assembly from
York. The Record was not in
harmony with Senator Stewart
in the campaign, but this does not
prevent us from commencing his
work for what he believes repre-
sents the best interests of the
majority of our people.

Section IL of York's Road Law.

There is great deal of interes
in York county over the propoe I'd
changes in the Stewart rosf' law
and The Times is pleas a there
fore to be able publish the
following, section II, which en-
braces the principal changes in
the law as it will likely pass the
senate, having already passed
the house. 1t will be observed
by reading the section carefully
that it is within the discretion of
the county supervisor as to
which of the three main high
ways through the county shall
be constructed first. The house
amendments to the law were
referred to the York delegation
and after carefully considering
the same they recommended the
proposed changes. The report
was signed by Messrs. Sanders,
Glasscock, Hollis and Wilson.
Section IL is as follows:
The county chaingang shall
be used in opening, building, grad
ing and repairing three of the
main highways of the county;
one of the said roads to run from

county line between Lancaster
and York counties, through the
city of Rock Hill, through the
town of Yorkville, and on to the
most practicable point on the
county line between Cherokee
county and York county; another
of said roads to run from the
most practicable point on the
County line between Chester and
York counties through McCon-
nellsville, through the town of
Yorkville, through Clover and on
to the most practicable point on
the line between York county
and North Carolina; another of
said roads to run from the most
practicable point on the York
county line through the town of
Fort Mill, then as near as prac-
ticable straight line to the city
of Rock Hill, then through the
blackjack section to McConnells-
vile: Provided, That any of the
townships of York county which
neither of said roads run into or
through shall receive a proper
tionate part of the work of the
chaingang in such township on
such road or roads as the town.
ship supervisor of said township
and the county board of commits
sioners may determine upon:
Provided, No macadam work
shall be done by the chaingang
where a sand and clay or gravel
road is practicable, and sand,
gravel and clay may be put down
by the chaingang if the same be
furnished by the township super
visor or otherwise: Provided,
further, The work and control of
the chaingang shall at all times
be under the exclusive super
vision and direction of the county
supervisor, and the time or rota-
ton of the working of said roads
above referred to shall be entire
ly within the discretion of the
county supervisor and county
commissioners, and that in Sc
lecting the roads to be so opened,
built, graded and repaired the
county commissioners and county
supervisor shall have in view the
greatest good to the greatest
number of people"

Trouble Ahead for Old Counties.

Lancaster News.
Our York county friends who
are advocating the formation of
a new county, evidently realiz-
ing that the constitution stands
in the way of the attainment of
the object sought, are going to
inaugurate a movement designed
to change the States organic
law. Delegations of representa-
tive citizens of Rock Hill and
Fort Mill were to have gone to
Columbia this week to urge legis-
lative action providing for the
submission TO the people of a
proposed amendment to the con-
stitution making it possible to
form a new county with less area
than now prescribed, but they
abandoned the trip upon being
advised that it is now to late in
the present session of the general
assembly to have the matter con-
sidered. 1t will be brought up
next year however, and those
opposed to the movement might
as well get ready to fight it.
