-ba ConfederaYe Re.iInion

The Confederate Re-Union.-The an
nual reunion of the U. C. v. was held
in Macon, Ga, this week, and 1t is said
to have been the most successful oc-
casion of the kind since the beginning
of the organization. There were In the
lneighborhood of 10000 visitors in the
city, and there were not less than 49,
900 old soldiers in the great street pa
rade Gen. Bennett H. Young, former
governor of Kentucky, was elected
commander in chief by reclamation.
Chattanooga, Tenn, won over several
competitors as the next reunion city,
and an invitation was accepted from
Gen. Trimble, commander chief OF
the G. A. r. to participate in grand
re- union Of the blue and the gray on
the field Of Gettysburg in June, 1913.
One of the most interesting events OF
the occasion was the crowning Of Miss
Mary Scanderett of Macon, as queen
of the 1912 reunion. The railroad es-
timated that $4,000 people were brought
to Macon during the week on return
tickets.

The Enquirer has no information as
to what manner of man is Hon. L. s.
Conner Of Orangeburg, who announces
that he will be a candidate for COVER
nor. so as to be able to show certain
things up. That there are great many
things to be shown up, there is no
doubt whatever; but as to whether
Mr.. Conner is the man to do it, remains
to be seen.

One reason why Roosevelt is so
popular with the Republican voters is
because such a large portion Of them
have never learned that there has
been a change in the office. They
think the issue is merely one Of en-
dorsing Roosevelt for reelection.

MUNICIPAL REGISTRATION,

1t looks like the Democrats have a
very good chance to win the presiden-

get themselves split up too badly over
the question as to who will be their
nominee

It is not surprising that the Charles
ton politicians should fight over the
control Of the county convention, be-
cause down there the people who con-
troll the election machinery have the
counting of the votes and the people
who have the counting Of the votes
mostly win on election day.

According to figures compiled by

number only 81.

CONFEDERATE DEAD.

In accordance with a Memorial Day
custom inaugurated by The Enquirer
some years ago, we are republishing to-
day roll Of York county Confederate
dead buried in the various cemeteries
of the county. While as the result OF
a great deal of labor and effort on the
part of The Enquirer, and old soldiers
and others. who have given their as
sistance, the roll Is the most perfect
to be had in such compact form, 1t
lacks quite a good deal Of being COM
plete. There are still many names that
have been overlooked, and our object OF
repeated publication is the hope that
people who may know Of such names
will send them in so they may be in
cluded in the roll. AS correct as 1t has
been practicable to bring 1t up to date

Rock Hill Record: There is, of
course, no question that the Jones
crowd was In control at the York
county convention last Monday. But
1t is curious thing that no one had
the courage to have Judge Jones en-
dorsed. Why fear an "open fight" on
the subject Of endorsement? That's
the trouble with South Carolina poll
tics. Why not fight right out In the
open and let all men know where you
stand?

JIM JOHNSON
SHOOTS FOREMAN
TRAGEDY OCCURRED in
CONSTRUCTION CAMP
The Assailant Makes
Good His Escape
Shooting Outcome of Mack Volts I'M
positlon-Attempted to Shoot
johnson But Too Slow-Man
Who Did Shooting Believed
to be Wanted in Oklahoma
He Will Recover.

Wednesday morning between 8 and
10 o'clock Jim Johnson, laborer
employed by the Walton-McDowel
Construction Company, Railroad Con-
tractors, doing work near Brentwood,
shot Mack Volt, the superintendent
of the railroad work that was being
done there.
From what can be learned 1t Is
alleged that Mack Volt went to john
sons cabin and attempted to force
him to work against his will, and
heated discussion ensued, when the
white man drew his pistol and at
tempted to shoot Johnson, but john
son was too quick for him; he
whipped his gun into action and be-
fore Volt could shoot Johnson had
put two bullets into his body ana
he lay PROSTATE on the ground.
There were quite number of men
in the camp, the majority OF wnom
were white, and johnson realized his
danger and beat hasty retreat from
the camp. When asst seen he was
making his way to the woody section
of the country.
Mack Volt was given attention by
members of the crew and the camp
physician, and as soon as possible
was conveyed to Nashville, where
his wounds were dressed In Douglass
Inf1rmary.
The sheriff was quickly notified
and was soon on the scene with his
deputies, where they were joined by
O party of men and friends from the
community and a hot pursuit was
begun. 1t was rainy day and the
heavy mist covering the country
made the pursuit difficult. A careful
search was made in the surrounding
country for miles, but at last &C
counts Johnson had not been appre-
hended.
It has been learned since the trou-
BILE that the real name Of Johnson
Is Everett Lincoln, and that he is
wanted in Oklahoma for killing
deputy sheriff in that state. Police
in Nashville arrested two men We'd
nesday evening, Sam Johnson and
Jim Wade, by name, and brought
them to the police .ta'''n with the
belief that they had caught Jim John
son and the man, It is said, that left
the camp with him; but Mr.. Tidwell,
foreman Of Section Gang No. Of
the N. G. & st. l. Railway, identi-
ned Johnson and Wade as men who
had been working with his crew for
several months. Consequently they
were released. The officers are on a
close watch and are making vigil
liant search for Jim Johnson, alias
Everett Lincoln, but are careful that
they don't run upon the man on sur
Irise, and he is believed to be des-
perate character. They know he Is
well armed and expect him to put up
desperate fight before surrender
ing.

cording to the Harris Cou..
of the deal just closed in this city,
by some of the leading business men
oaf the race. Houston was all astir.
when it was known that the entire
block in the down town district of
Milan street had changed hands. This
means that two blocks, one facing the
other on Milan street, right in the
busiest part of Houston, will be con-
trolled by Negro merchants, profess
sional and business men.
In the block that has lust been
purchased for the sum of 100000
there is located the Western Star Pub
fishing Company, Lethridge and Gill
more, Printers, The Bayou City Drug
Store, The Oregon Realty Company,
DIR. Love, the Texas Freeman and
several large grocery, dry goods and
hardware stores.
BY this deal the Negroes of Hous-
ton, Texas, will forge to the front as
owners of valuable real estate, es-
pecially as this Is within one block
of the magnificent auditorium erected
as the cost of 100000, several mod
ern hotels and within one block of
the famous Houston Market, as well
as being in close proximity to the
magnificent Postoffice and Custom
House that has just been erected.
Logically speaking Houston is the
beehive city of Texas, as it is claim.
ed there is a population of so, 900
Negroes in this city, out of total
possible population of $4,000. Prep.
arations to entertain the National
Baptist Convention are being made
rapidly as this is but one of the many
mammoth strides that the Negroes
of this county will make in showing
themselves enterprising citizens in
the eyes Of the Baptists of the United
States, when they congregate here
next September.

A PROMINENT NASHVILLE PLY.
SICIAN,

In the medical profession in the
South, Nashville can boast of many
successful men. They are known
the length and breadth of the coun-
try. Many of them have not only
been succeeful in their profession,
but have shown d marked degree of
business tact. Prominent among
this class of physicians in this city
is DR.. F. A. Stewart, a most progress
sive surgeon, who came to Nash
vile more than twenty years ago.
Since that time he has been continu-
ally engaged in the practice of his
profession in this city. He is
graduate of the Classical Depart
ment of Fisk University and the
Medical Department of Harvard Uni
versity in Boston, Mass, where he
graduated in 1883 at the head of

For eighteen years he held the chair of
Pathology in Meharry Medical Col
lege, but for the past five years has
been Professor Of Surgery in that
noted institution
During the recent clinic held by
DR.. Daniel Williams in which more
than twenty-five patients were sue
cessful treated, Dr. Stewart was in
charge and personally operated up
on several of the most difficult cases.
During the present school session
he has done many rare and noted
operations in Hubbard Hospital-the
home of clean surgery.
DR.. Stewart is a most successful
buiness man. He is the owner of
large amount of valuable real
estate in this city, his renting in
come running into thousands annual
ly,
DR.. Stewart believes in the future
of the Negro, and is certain that the
determinations and prejudices with
which he has to contend are really
beneficial in that they are teaching
