Makes Formal Announcement.

Abbeville, S. c., Feb. 2Srd, 1914.
To the Voters Of Abbeville County:
l. was in hopes that would not be called
upon to make formal announcement Of
my candidacy for any Office until after my
duties were over in Columbia. But there
have been rumors circulated that would
not be candidate for reelection to the
State Senate, but would be candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina.
Yet while I have been asked to make the
race for Lieutenant Governor by number
Of my friends, after giving the matter due
consideration, and once for all, to let the
voters of this County know just what ]
am going to do, am over my signature
making the announcement that unless
something happens that. T can't foresee at
this time, will be candidate for re-elec-
tion to the State Senate.
wish further to say that thepeople OF
Abbeville County have been exceedingly
kind to me, and'I trust that have meas
ured up to their requirements, as their
servant. If I have, I am asking for re-
election to the Office Of State Senator, and
in doing so, wish to reiterate what Isaid
during the campaign four years ago, when
I was elected, that If elected I would ask
for 1t for two terms only:
j.. Very respectfully,
+: -. J. Moore Mars.

Teacher Beaten.

Great interest and considerable feeling
is being shown in the case pending in court
in which Mr.. - Fleming and his son
are charged with assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature. with intent
to kill, as result Of an attack made by
the Flemings on Prof. Aver, Of the Antre-
Vile school last week. 3,
The facts, as gathered, are about as fol.
lows: Mr.. Fleming states that about
a year ago Prof. Aver, at a neighborhood
party, undertook to put his arms about his
15-year-old daughter and to kiss her; that
the girl pulled away from him, and, on go.
ing home that night, reported the matter
to her mother. Her mother, fearing VIC
lence on the part Of the father and brother
said nothing the affair, but withdrew
the child from the Antreville school and
sent her to Little Mountain school, a few
miles below her home. >' .r.a-
Recently, some incident in the school
induced the mother to inform. the father
Of what the girl had told her q year ago
and, father and son, determined TO give
Prof. Aver whipping" - y 4
This is the story as told by Mf. Fleming
Many Of the statements are denied by
friends Of Prof. Aver, especially the main
charge that Prof. Aver had offered any in
dignity to Miss Fleming. ; =
The undisputed facts are that Mr.. Flem'
ing and his son met Professor Aver In the
road near the home of Mrs. B. Bowen, took
him out the buggy and proceeded to beat
him severely. tits said he was so severe
ly beaten that he was unconscious, anG
that the Flemings were stopped only by
the timely interference of Miss Eikelber.
ger, teacher in the Antreyille school
She took the men by the arm and remon
strated with them, bringing them to 6
realization Of the deed they were commit
ting. g.
The sentiment Of the neigborhood Is di
vided, and feeling Is running pretty high
All the parties stand well locally as we'll as
in the county.

To Abate All House of Illfame
in State.
HOUSE REFUSES ALL
AMENDMENT
Bill Goes into Effect July I,
1914, Provided it Passes
the Senate ond Gets by
the Veto of Gov
ernOr BleaSe.

Columbia, Feb. 1S.-The backbone Of the
long fight which has been waged against
the bill by Mr.. Sanders to enjoin and abate
houses of illfame was broken today when
the house resolutely refused to adopt any
material to the bill, though perhaps a
score were proposed, and ordered it to the
third reading by a vote Of 6S to 25.
r.Vanderhorst had presented sub
stitute for the bill which would apply to
the state. The national provisions Of the
Mann white slave act, and this too was
adopted being passed by vote Of 81 to O..
The latter bill goes into effect Immediate
ly on its approval and the Sanders bill
goes into effect July /, 1914, if they get by
the Senator and the governor.
Most of the amendments introduced
were humorous, il not absurd, and the
house rejected all save that of Mr.. YOU
macs, providing the bill to 60 into effect
July l, 1914.
Among those killed was one by: Repre-
sentative Fortner providing an appropria.
ton of $4,000 now and $4,000 for annual
maintenance fee for home for inmates
Of the houses affected by the bill in which
they might live until reformed.

RESIST BANDITS,
MEN ARE K|ELED
Three Passengers Are Shot to
Death.
BATTLE ON TRAIN
Most Passengers Throw Up
Hands But Four Put Up,
Fatal Fight.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Three passenger
on great northern passenger train bount
for Vancouver resisted three bandits to
night and were shot to Death.
Thomas B. Wadsworth, a Canadian
Pacific conductor of Vancouver B, G. R. K
Lee of Bremerton and M. B. McElhoes, 6
travelling salesman; Of Vancouver B. G.
were the men killed. The bandits boarded
the train at Burlington, few miles south
Of the place where they attacked the pas
sengers in the day coaches. They rode In
the smoking car until they were ready to
act. They then went into the vestibule
tween the smoking car and the day, coach
and threw handkerchiefs about their faces
and entered the day coach with drawn re-
volvers. Most of the passengers confront
ed by the bandits threw up their hands but
four men attempted to resist. Three OF
these were felled almost instantly.
Two Of the men had gone on through the
day coach. One stood at the rear door
while second stepped into the vestibule
AS the three men grabbed with one bandit
the robber at the end Of the car began
shooting into the ceiling lights.
The robber fighting the three men step
ped back and quickly fired ten shots. Lee
was not killed outright and tried to crawl
behind the. rear seat. The bandit kept
firing and five are six shots entered Lees
back. None Of the shots fired by the other
bandit hit any one.
The robber who shot the men turned
back to the front of coach. AS he passed
along several women held purses out in
the aisles. He gathered up several and
ran. The bandits left the train together
as it came to stop from q signal given
by the conductor who had heard the shoot
ing from another coach.
Posses were formed here hurriedly and
special train was sent to the scene, but
on account of the wildness of surrounding
country little hope is held out for the cap
ture Of the outlaws.
1t is believed they may have taken a
boat and gone to the San Juan island, on
the edge of Bellingham bay.

Several Answers Received.

Editor Press and Banner:
Dear Sir-Since inserting my ad. in your
paper, have received several letters in re-
gard to the SCOTS.
Seems as though had started in at the
wrong end Of the inquiry, that Is, I should
have stated who we are and what part OF
the country we lived in, and at what time
and possibly a little history from the
Northwest may be- Of interest to your
readers.
The oldest member Of the Scott family
we have any history Of was Of Scotch or
Scotch-Irish descent and lived in Abbeville
District during the Revolutionary war,
and we wanted to learn If any other mem
bers Of the family is still there, and wheth-
or they know the history Of the family.
The oldest Scott was Robert and he had
at least one son, Patrick, who when boy,
was injured by the Tories because he
would not tell where his father was.
Patrick taught school for a. living, and
had son named William, o doctor; Addi-
son, a lawyer Joseph, a farmer and
James, a farmer, and several daughters
James and some Of the others moved to
Pike County, Georgia, in or about 1926
and about 1887 moved with his family to
Pike County, Arkansas, and later to Texas.
In the meantime one daughter married
and with her family moved to this coast In
1853, where she reared quite a family Of
sons and daughters, and died about yea1
ago, aged SO. A truly pioneer woman
born In South Carolina, and in her fifth
year moved to Georgia; twelve years later
to Arkansas, and sixteen years later by
wagon to Oregon, and six years later tc
what Is now State Of Washington, keeping
her family. together and raising sever
children out Of a family of ten, some o.
whom are now past seventy years of age
and in these days when children want tx
know more Of their ancestors, mine want
to get the history of Robert and Patrick
Scott and werein hope.that some members
Of the family still reside in the old State O
SouthC Carolina:
Thanking you for your courtesy in send
ing methe Press and Banner, am,
Very. truly yours,
