partment has placed orders for
enough food to fill all Atlanta for at
least one meal 1t will be one vaca-
ton trip, too, which doesn't mean
extra expense, for khaki uniforms
and flannel shirts will be the rule, and
no white ducks, silk hosiery or Pana-
mas will be needed.
Uncle Sam will foot the bills. This

correspondence with the merchants
and manufacturers who have en-
ployees in the regiment, urging that
they arrange vacation schedules so

Z NEW AMERICAN
CARDINALS LIKELY
Consistory To Be Held in 0cto
ber-Pope Distressed by Ru-
morS of Dissension.
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.


ROME, June est was learned
to-day from a source close to the
Vatican that Pope Plus X has de-
cided to call another consistory in
October, when nine new Cardinals
will be created. One American prel-
ate, and perhaps two are almost GER
tain to be elevated to the sacred col
lege.
Pope Plus is much distressed by re-
ports of dissension among the heads
of the Roman Catholic Church.
According to these reports, the Lib
erals, led by Cardinal Rampolla, are
trying to bring about the removal Of
Cardinal Merry Del Val from his Of
flee Of Papal Secretary Of State.
If they are successful, Cardinal Fall
COMO, former papal delegate to the
United States, probably will be
chosen on a compromise.

FOUR OUT FOR GOVERNOR
AND OTHERS MENTIONED

Following close upon the ar
nouncement last week that At
torney General Peoples would ell
ter the governors race next
year came the report from Co.
lumbia that three other men had
declared themselves candidates
for the governorship in 1914.
Railroad Commissioner J. G.
Richards, resident of Liberty
Hill, in Kershaw county, has an
nounced his candidacy for the
position of chief executive. Mr..
Richards was reelected to his
present position last summer and
prior to that time served in the
House.
Speaker Mendel L. Smith of
the house of representatives and
a resident of Camden. has af-
tirmed the report that he would
make the race for governor in
1914. Speaker Smith has served
as presiding officer of the house
for several years. He was form
erly a noted baseball player and
is prominent in K. of P. circles.
Lieutenant Governor Chas. A.
Smith also will be in the govern
or's race next year. Mr.. Smith
is serving his second term as
lieutenant governor of the State.
having been reelected last sum-
mer without opposition. His
home is at Timmonsville.
Representative Geo. R. Rem
bert, of Richland, has been men
toned as a probable candidate
for governor, as has also Mr..
Richard l.. Manning, of Sumter.
Mr.. Manning was in the race
for governor in 1906 and in a
second race was defeated by Mr..
Ansel by a very close vote.
Another possible candidate, so
rumor goes, is Mr.. Arch B. Cal
vert, of Spartanburg. Mr.. Cal
vert is well known throughout
the State and especially in the
Piedmont, the great voting re-
gion.

Last Week Of Bird Season.

Next Saturday. March 1, marks
the close of the 1928 bird
season in South Carolina. The
season opened November Is, two
and a half months ago, and this
is somewhat longer period than
is allowed in some of the States
for killing the partridges. In
Mecklenburg county, North Caro-
lima, for instance, the hunters
have only forty days in which
to engage lawfully in the sport.
The season which is now on
the verge of closing has not
been a profitable one to the
hunters of this immediate sec
tion. Before Christmas there
were very few days cool enough
for hunting. and since the holi-
days the weather has been either
too warm or rainy. There also
has been few out-of-State hunt
ers to visit Fort Mill, and the
close of the season probably will
leave a greater number of birds
in the fields in this section than
for quite a number of years. -

Mr. Charles Sargent Kimbrell.
The marriage took place at the
Booth street home of Mr.. and
Mrs. F.. w. Kimbrell and was

dist church. The bridal couple
were the recipients of many
costly and useful presents.

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. R. L. C.
Belk, of lower Fort Mill, and is
a young lady of many graces and
is deservedly popular in the COM
munity. Mr.. Kimbrell is a mail

Drug Firm Changes Hands.

A business change of con-
siderable local interest will take
place Saturday, March 1, when
Messrs. j. M. Massey and B. F.
Massey. Jr.. will assume charge
of the well known Main street
drug business of the Parks Drug
company. The business will be
continued under the firm name
of the Massey Drug Store and

having engaged in the business
at Clinton, Rock Hill, Charlotte
and other places for a period of
more than ten years. He is at
present with Bowen's drug store,
Charlotte. Mr.. Massey is well
known and popular and doubtless
will receive a hearty share of
the drug trade of Fort Mill and
vicinity.
The Parks Drug company dur
ing the five years of it's existence
has enjoyed a liberal patronage
and it is long list of satisfied
customers which it surrenders
to the new Massey firm. Mr..

WADE BAILEY NOT GUILTY,
SAYS MECKLENBURG JURY

The second trial of Wade H.
Bailey, former Fort Mill man.
charged with the murder of
James w. Davis was concluded
in Mecklenburg superior court at
Charlotte Thursday, the jury
returningga verdict of not guilty.
Bailey's first trial upon the
charge named took place several
months ago and resulted in a
mistrial, it being said at the time
that IL of the jurors were for
acquittal and one for conviction.
Balley's attorneys claimed for
him self-defense, and this plea
took well with the jury, the at
torneys having planned their
entire defense upon the evidence
of abundant witnesses that the
fatal shot that entered Davis
body was fired after the latter
had made continued advances
upon Bailey with a rock. The
acquittal ends case that has
p~Nii oSiOiS Vic MeChl6UDuTR
court since last August.
The difficulty which brought
the charge of murder upon
Bailey occurred early one morning
last August, when the defendant.
returning from his duties as
night watchman at the Atherton
mill, ran upon Davis. The lat
ter at once began to make charges
and reflections against Bailey
and his wife, there having been
bad blood between them for
some time. Davis, it was shown
IN the evidence, reached down
for a rock and after Bailey had
tried to evade the assaults, the
dead man persisted in the trouble
until Bailey pulled his pistol and
fired the bullet inflicting a wound
upon Davis from which he died
a few hours later.

No Migratory Birds.

Someone has called The Times
attention to the absence during
the month of February of the
robins, which are usually here
IN large numbers at this season
OF the year. And now those
who claim to be weather-wise
say that the delayed coming of
the birds means that some ex-
tremely cold weather is yet to
be had. The robins usually ap-
pear in this section two or three
weeks ahead of this time. Fort
Mill is filled with large China
berry trees and during the
month of February the robins
usually flock to these trees to
eat the berries.

House Takes Recess.

The House of Representatives
recessed Friday evening until
Wednesday in order to give the
Senate time to consider the
appropriations bill. Usually it is
the Senate that has to mark time
and wait on the House, but this
time the reverse is true. In
order to recess for three days
the consent of the Senate had to
be obtained.
The Senate is still debating the
Lawson McCravey local option
compulsory education bill, and
determined efforts are being
made by the opponents of the
bill to talk the measure to death.

JOHN WANAMAKER

In the year 1889. at the age of
49 years, insured his life for
$50, 10000 in the Union Central
Life Insurance Company of Gin
cinnati, Ohio. The annual pre-
MUM charged on his policy was
1901. 80.
Last year the Union Central
Life Insurance Company offered
him a dividend on this policy
amounting to $588. 40, which re-
duced his last years premium to
$217. 40. Mr.. Wanamaker is now
about II years old, and the cost
or his insurance last year aver
aged in the Union Central policy
only $40. 81 per $1,000.OO The
total amount of dividends offered
to Mr.. Wanamaker since 1889
amount to $8,017.61. During
these % years he has enjoyed
absolute security in the protec-
tion of his estate to the amount
of $20,000.O0.
Had Mr.. Wanamaker taken a
policy in non-participating COM
pany, his premium would have
been about $4,000 per annum
and he would have been required
to pay this amount-no more, no
less every year for the, last %
years, and so long as he lives.
A little simple arithmetic will
show you what he has saved by
choosing the Union Central.
Profit by the example of Mr..
Wanamaker and let us prove to
you that the Union Central is
writing insurance at lower net
cost today than any insurance
company in Americf. We will
be glad for you to call at our of

BUYER OF BLIND TIGER"
AS GUILTY AS THE SELLER

In South Carolina the buyer
of whiskey from a blind tiger is
guilty of a violation of the law
and is punishable just as is the
seller. according to a decree
handed down the past week by
Circuit Judge Shipp in dismiss
ing several appeals from the re-
corder's court of Anderson. The
defendants convicted in the re-
corder's court of the charge of
transporting contraband liquors,
appealed on the grounds that
they were acting as agents for
purchasers and that the whiskey
was not contraband, because it
was to be used for a lawful pur-
pose.
The defendants stated that
they secured the whiskey from
blind tiger, naming the man,
and that they merely carried the
whiskey from the tiger to the
purchaser.
Judge Shipp stated that the
defendants knew the whiskey
was contraband when it was in
the hand of the blind tiger and
that it's character did not change
when it passed into the hands of
the defendants, although it may
have been obtained by them for
a lawful purpose.
The cases will probably be
carried to the State supreme
court. Should that tribunal af-
firm Judge Shipp's order in
dismissing the appeal and affirm
ing the judgments of the re-
corder's court, the blind tiger
business in South Carolina will
be dealt staggering blow.

John W. McElhaney Dead.

Magistrate John w. McEl-
haney. one of the best known
and most popular citizens of
Eastern York county, died sud-
denly at his home on Confederate
street. this city, Saturday MORN
ing at 6 o'clock. Mr.. McElhaney
had not been previously sick, ex-
cept for slight cold. Saturday
morning he arose at the usual
hour and short time afterward
was seized with violent spell of
coughing which continued for
several moments when he fell
back on the bed and expired be-
fore medical aid could be sum-
moned. 1t was thought that
during the coughing spell blood
vessel of the head had been
ruptured, causing an overflow of
the brain and death.
John w. McElhaney came to
Fort Mill from the Clay Hill
section of York about 25 years
ago and eagaged in the livery
business. After residing here
for ayear or two he was appoint
ed magistrate OF Fort Mill town.

Wlthers. Mir. McElhaney has
held this position continuously
since with the exception of one
year, in which he served the
town of Fort Mill as mayor. In
the position OF magistrate he
made an excellent officer. Several
times he has had opposition for
the position, but always won out
without difficulty. He was al
ways ready and willing to fur
nish mis- friends with legal ad-
vices, and many cases which
would have resulted in the
breaking of former friendships
have been amicably settled
through his constant desire for
peace between his fellowmen.
He was universally liked and his
death has been the cause for
regret by the entire citizenship
of this section.
Mr.. McElhaney was 55 years
of age. He was married about
30 years ago to Miss Addie
Saville, by whom. with two sons
and a daughter, Messrs. A. r.
McElhaney and j. G.. McElhaney
and Miss Mamie McElhaney. all
of Fort Mill, he is survived.
