\SOiuiUio StoSc.)
A general warning against illegal
ity or fraud in elections for sena-
tors and representatives from South
Carolina, and personal pledge to
fight the seating of any man sent to
Washington with tainted title
were contained in a statement given
to The States Washington CORES
pondent yesterday by B. R. Tillman,
senior United States senator from
South Carolina. The senator takes
occasion to call on all supervisors of
registration to be very careful in the
administration of their offices to
to stick to the letter of the election
laws, lest there come time when
the title of senator or representa-
tive, chosen in an election tainted
with fraud, be refused admittance to
the halls of congress. I'VE cannot
afford to take any chances" is the
way the senator puts it.
The first part of the senator's
statement has to do with controvert-
ing certain statements of the govern
or of South Carolina, to which the
State has given no publicity. 1t is
therefore omitted.
The portion of the senator's state
ment dealing with the election laws
and the registration of voters fol-
lows:
II have examined the law carefully
to see just how far the supervisors
ought to go and l take the liberty of
advising them to obey the law, the
strict letter of the law, and register
only men qualified under the law who
will take the oath required. That
oath is as follows: Il sdo solemnly
swear (or affirm) that am male
citizen of this State and of the Unit
ed States, that am 81 years of age
or more; that l have resided in this
State for two years and in this coun-
try for one year and in the polling

TRAGIC DEATH OF
o. {. LANCASTER
Killed While Riding Motorcycle by
Southern Passenger Train at the
Crossing Near the Power
House on Thursday of
Last Week.

The people of Union were greatly
shocked by the sudden and tragic
death of Mr.. Oscar Lancaster, who
was killed by Southern railway pas
senger train, No a, late Thursday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Lancaster had just
started for West Springs on his mo-
tocycle and while crossing the rail-
way near the power house, was
struck and almost instantly killed by
the incoming train. There were sew
eral freight cars on the siding, and
just opposite the power house, which
shut out the view as one approached
the track. An eye witness says that
he saw the startled look on Mr.. Lam
casters face just as he got to the
track and too late to turn aside or
stop. This witness says the train
was running at a high speed, and
with steam shut off. The fact that
Mr.. Lancaster was riding a motor
cycle and also that the power house
engine was running near by, made
it difficult matter to hear the ap-
preaching train.
A few seconds more and Mr.. Lam
caster would have gotten over. The
engine struck the rear wheel of the
motorcycle, and battered it out of
all shape. Mr.. Lancaster was thrown
to the ground and so badly injured
that he died in seven minutes from
the time he was struck. He never
regained consciousness.
The death of this young man has
cast gloom over the entire city.
He was very popular young busi-
ness man and was general manager
of the Coco Cola Bottling Co. here.
He leaves wife, mother, two
brothers and two sisters. His
brothers are: Mr.. ]. Boyd Lancas-
ter, of West Springs and Mr.. Otis
Lancaster who holds a position with
the Merchants and Planters National
Bank here.
Two striking coincidents of the ac-
cident are that Mr.. Lancaster was
riding the same motorcycle which
was being ridden by Mr.. Jesse M.
Goodwin when the latter was killed
last year at the Fair grounds, and
Mr.. Lancaster was filling the posi-
ton with the Coco Cola Co., made
vacant by the death of young ,iood-
win.
Oscar Lancaster was a genial,
warm hearted fellow, hard worker
and was liked by all who knew him.
He was an earnest Christian, a men,
Der of the Methodist church, and was
IN every way worthy young man.
Great sorrow for the stricken
members of the family is felt by the
entire community.
The burial was at Bogansville,
near West Springs, Friday afternoon,
and the body was laid to rest be-
meath a wilderness of beautiful
flowers.
