bia for $4,000 damages, alleging that he
has been comelled to abandon his home,

tracts of land. built houses and settled
there with the intention Of remaining.

difficult matter to find purchasers.

Prominent South Carolina Citizen Ex.
pires Suddenly at Union.

Union, June 28.-Judge D. A. Town
send died suddenly this morning, at
about $50 o'clock, at his home in this
city. Judge Townsend had been in
declining health for year Or two, and
recently he retired from business and
for the last few days was confined to
his room, but the public was not pre-
pared for his death and the news came
with a considerable shock to the COM
munity, in which he was universally
regarded as distinctly a man of high
character.
Since his retirement from the
Bench, about four years ago, Judge
Townsend has until few weeks ago
practiced law in partnership with his
son, Mr.. B. F. Townsend. He was Is
years of age. His daughter, Mrs. G. T.
Murphy, and Ben F. Townsend, his
son, survive him. The interment will
be in Grace NJ. E. church yard tomor-
row afternoon.

VIEW HORRIBLE SIGHT.
See Man Electrocuted Near Columbia
Ball Park-Darrell Harrison,
Mill Worker.

Columbia, June 28.-The horrifying
spectacle of man being electrocuted
by a live wire was witnessed by nearly
1000 people here this afternoon, at
the ball grounds. Although aid was
given as quickly as possible, the mo-
ments seemed ages while the man
dang!ed from the wires upon the pole
ne had climbed. Three times he swung
each way and then his body straight
ened out. The body was taken down
by rope and the wires cut, but even
as this operation was in progress the
swapping of the wires sent the unfor-
tunate victim to the ground, and as
his feet touched the earth his limp
body clung to the pole by which he
fell. Medical examination revealed
the fact that he was beyond human
help, although some time was spent in
trying to revive him.
Victim Identified.
The victim was identified tonight
as Darrell Harrison, a worker in the
mill village. He was native Of
Bath, and was a married man. One
Of his fellow workers, with whom he
boarded, came to the undertaking es-
tablishment and positively identified
him. Harrison is judged to have been
about twenty-five years of age.

THE FIELDER CASE.

The Columbia Record fought Gov
ernor Blease in the primary last sum-
mer, and fought him hard. But it's
fight was open and manly, as its
course always is, so far as We have
been able to judge.
On Tuesday afternoon, commenting
upon an editorial in the Charleston
Evening Post, the Columbia Record
discusses the Fielder requisition, and
its argument that Governor Brown
violated the constitution of the Unit
ed States in refusing to honor the re-
QUESTION will appeal to unbiased minds
as logical and irrefutable. It presents
our view of the matter, and, coming
from an aati-Blease newspaper, it will
probably cary more weight than any
argument which might be advanced
by a newspaper which supported Gov
ernor Blease in the primary.
One of the great troubles of the age
in which We are now living is that
self-righteousness sometimes runs
rampant, and that there are too many
posing as the guardians of all the peo-
pies morals and of all right thinking
who hesitate not to 90 to any lengths,
the violation of the law not excepted,
in order to thwart those whom they
condemn as being On the other side
OF the fence.
The Herald and News also in the
same connection presents an article
from Mr.. Harry w. Dominick, which
was published in the Atlanta Journal,
correcting the statement made by the
Atlanta newspapers, and, according
to the press dispatches, used in Field
ers defence, to the effect that the
Newberry county grand jury had ere
fused to indict Fielder. The truth of
the matter is, as everybody who has
kept up with the matter knows-be-
cause it was published in practically
all the South Carolina newspapers
no Newberry grand jury has yet had
a bill in the Fielder case before it.

each mans door.

What has become of that road that
was to be built fro:n Charle3ton to
Greenville in a day! It seems to me
that it should be an easy matter to get
the people together on this one prop
osition for if there is anything that
will benefit all the people of all the
counties it would be at least one good
highway running through the entire
county. From the number of automo-
biles in this county, if they would all
unite they could build this road them
selves. 1t would pay them to do it.
There must be hundred automobiles
in the county. Ten dollars each from
these gentlemen would be $1,000.
Fifty dollars each would be $4,000.
Any man who has a car could stand
that contribution to ne building of a
good road s. miles long across the
county from Little Mountain to Kin
ards and then to connect at either end
with a good road to Greenville and
Columb and Charleston. You auto
mobile people, now, listen, wouldn't
you give S10O each to be assured of
good road-I mean a good road
from Newberry to Creenville on the
one siC2, and to CoI.lmbia and Char
lesion on the other. Now, wouldn't
you? Say yes, quick, because I know
you would That would give $4,000
$500 a. mile. You could sand clay the
road. all the way-widen it where
needed and relocate. 1t would be
worth the outlay. With such road
Little Mountain and Kinards would be
nearer to Newberry than Helena now
is. Ten thousand dollars could not
be more proitably invested than in
such road. AS soon as this road is
completed you would want another
from Chappells toBroad river, another
from Whitnlire to Saluda river and if
you build the first one the others will
como quick. I wish I had an au-
tomobile and had the money OF
some Of 1nese Newberry people, I
wouldn't hoard it. but would start
this road fund with $500 or thous-
and and the road would soon. be built
but reckon that's the reason hav-
emit got the money-always too liber-
al. It will work out right. It always
has and always will. Sometimes it
does not seem to us to be doing it,
but it will. You just wait aid watch
and do your 1uty-there's the rub
the question for you.
