COLORED MAN SHOT TO DEATH.

r. A. Foster, a colored man, 60
years of age, was shot Tuesday by
Aubrey Wilburn, son of Mr.. Robt.
Wilburn, who lives on the Foster
place in Pinckney township. The
weapon used was a shotgun, loaded
with buckshot.
Coroner l.. b. Godshall held an in
quest. 1t was brought out in the
testimony that Foster was rushing
upon Mr.. Robt. Wilburn when his son
fired the shot that killed him. Foster
stayed on the place Mr.. Wilburn has
in charge. 1t appears from the tes-
timony that the difficulty grew out of
young Wilburn having ridden across
the edge of Fosters watermelon patch
month before the shooting and be-
cause Mr.. Wilburn was taking Foster
to task for not looking after his crop
and there was trouble about mule
which Mr.. Wilburn had that day come
for.
The shooting occurred about A
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The ver-
dict of the coroner's jury was: THAT
r. A. Foster, deceased, came to his
death by gunshot wounds at the hands
of Aubrey Wilburn in defense of his
father"

.SfrsSN Tsis also 80 SS-r r1htS&sims3of LanS,
chaptef name is one of romantic in
terest of rhythmic beauty.
II "FAIRFOREST."
Its history in the Revolutionary
days centres largely in church and
about a stream. The stream was
named first. It's Indian name was
probably some beautiful word now
forever lost; it's English name is of
somewhat uncertain origin. One ira
dition is that Lord CORVALLIS was
once in the region now embraced in
Union and Spartanburg counties and
that impressed with the beauty of
the woods about him used the ex-
preston, what a fair forest" This
is shown to be unlikely in that Corn
wallis probably never crossed the
Broad river to the west; and further,
The more probable origin of the name
Fair Forest is given in Howe's his
tory of the Presbyterian church of
South Carolina AS an undenomina-
tional order our chapter is not con-
cerned about the history of any indi-
vidual church of any denomination,
but from the records that at present
| are available it is historically val
liable for us to study our subject in
the history of the Fair Forest church
and other churches of that day, near
by, such as Browns Creek church in
Union district and Nazareth in Spar
tanburg district.
1t is from these records that we get
our information regarding the name
"Fair Forest" and the best insight
into the early history of this region.
| On the roll of honor of the patriot
names we find men and women whose
| descendants are here today, so it
will be valued by us all to read of
the Fair Forest church. The con-
gregation had none in it who were
not prepared TO sign the pledge an
| nexed to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. There was not a Tory
among them. The germ of the Fair
Forest church in this district of Un-
ion On the waters Of large creek of
the same name, which flows into the
Tiger river, branch of Broad river,
was planted in the time from 1851 to
1854. The site of the church is half
| mile below where the road between
Union and Spartanburg crosses the
Fair Forest creek. The church dates
| it's origin from seven or eight fam
lilies who, being from Lancaster coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, from the year 1851
/ to 1854.
Among the first emigrants were

paigns, the one for the referendum

tion on prohibition, 1 feel especially
grateful to the press of South Caro-

many courtesies to me personally and
as prohibition secretary.
"Now that the voters have eX-
pressed their wish for prohibition,
am confident that most of the oppo-
sition will rally to the support of the
officials in the enforcement of the law.
Except for the recent unpleasant
ness, the campaign has been educa-
tive. The question has been pre-
sented on its merits. There was no
political division. The liquor ques-
ton is social one, and we presented
it as SUCH No one prominent in the
fight is politician, and no one aspAres
to public office. If we have served
the State, we are amply repaid. Pro-
hibition must have our support as
good citizens. Let us work together

Every Precinct Except Meador
and CoIeraine Gives Good
Majority Against Dispen-
sary-Every Mill Pre-
cincf Gives Good Ma
joHty for Prohibi-
fion - Results
TabuIafed.

The election upon the question OF
prohibition or dispensary Tuesday re-
suited in an overwhelming victory for
prohibition. The county went dry by
exactly three to one. There were
17OS votes cast and of that number
prohibition received 1891 votes and
the dispensary received APT. Cole
raine and Meador were the only pre-
cincts giving majority for the dis
pensary. The vote at Meador was
for dispensary ~; for prohibition IL
just one vote apart. The vote at
Coleraine was for dispensary 20; for
prohibition ID, a majority for the
dispensary of 6 votes. Every mill
voted for prohibition. Excelsior mill
went almost three to one for prohibi-
ton; Buffalo went over two to one
for prohibition; Lockhart lacked but
one vote of going seven to one for
prohibitions; Monarch voted prohibi-
tion almost six to one; Jonesville
voted prohibition almost six to one;
Union went dry almost three to one;
Carlisle voted dry almost five to one;
Kelton voted dry by more than two
to one; Adamsburg by more than two
to one; West Springs by more than
three to one; Santuc by more than
five to one; Cross Keys by more than
five to one; Gibbs by more than three
to one. The election resulted for vic
tory for the prohibition forces by a
much larger majority than the lead
ers of the moveaent hoped for. The
majority was S54 in favor Of prohibi-
tion. The voters of Union county
have shown clearly that they mean
the dispensary shall go, profit or no
profit. And there is everywhere be-
ing expressed the determination that
the illicit sale as well as the legalized
sale of whiskey shall go. There is
little room for doubling the temper
of mind now possessing the law-abid-
ing and self-respecting citizens Of
Union county. They mean to put
down the rule of rum in Union coun-
ty, whether it be open eyed dispen-
sary or blind tigers. Much of this
good work is the result of the or
ganIzed movement the good women
and children are carrying on in this
county. The following is the tabu-

Later returns from the election held
Tuesday did not materially change
change the result as indicated by the
earlier figures which showed ma
jority of about 10000 for Statewide
prohibition as opposed to county op-
tion.
The last figures give total of 3d.
AIT for prohibition and 1909 against
it, majority of 2o,358. .a
Only two counties appear to have
gone against Statewide prohibition-
Charleston, which gave q tremendous
percentage in favor of the retention
of the present system, and Dorches-
ter, which finally has given a small
: majority against Statewide prohibi-
tion.
All the other dispensary counties
voted for Statewide prohibition, sew
eral by sweeping majofities, and all
the dry counties went in favor of a
Statewide law, the only ones in which
the contest was in any way close be-
ing Horny, where prohibition has a
slight majority, and Berkeley, where
the vote appears too slight to count
for much.
In all, the vote probably will total
between $4,000 and 10000 or less
than half the vote in the Democratic
senatorial primary last year. This,
however, is considerably in excess of
the normal vote at general elections.
The figures by counties follow:

By a Majority of More Than ? TO
I State Votes Prohibition.
Prohibition Has Majority of About 20, ,OOO
Charleston and Dorchester Only Two
to Oppose Statewide e-Many
Surprises at Results.

The State voted for prohibition by
more than two to one Tuesday, when
the question of prohibition or dispen-
sary was the issue. Throughout the
State, except in Charleston and Dor
chester the dry forces won hands
down. Counties which had the dis
pensary voted it out; counties which
did not have the dispensary voted to
keep them out. 1t was a walk-over
for the prohibitionists in almost ev-
cry section of the State. The ques-
tion of 'local option" settled itself
sure in Charleston. Charleston, the
one-time mighty enemy of the dispen-
sary, has covered herself with glory
(?) by voting for the dispensary by
1854 to 346. The.people of the whole
State (save Charleston) have put
their signature to the death warrant
of the dispensary system as a method
of controlling the liquor traffic. The
vote throughout the State. as given
in Thursdays Columbia State is as
follows:
