legislature goes into effect. The Ar
kansas department of the Anti-Saloon
league has announced that the league
will have workers in the field to see
that the law is enforced. Anti-pro-
hibition leaders have announced that
no fight will be made for the repeal
of the law at least until prohibition
has been given thorough trial.
In Iowa 'bargajn day. sales in the

SENDS A BULLET INTO HEART
Well-kn6wn Citizen of Lancaster
Meets Death by His Own Hands.

Lancaster, January John CraW-
ford, one of Lancaster's most proml-
nent citizens, COMPUTED suicide here
this morning at his home in the
northern part of town by shooting
himself through the heart. He had
been in poor health for several
months and it is thought that the
worry and anxiety on account of his
condition temporarily unbalanced his
mind and caused him to take his life.
He was held in high esteem and ad-
mired by a host Of warm friends not
only in Lancaster, his native town,
but Throughout the county and in
other parts of the State where he had
visited and was we'll known.
He was the only son of the late Dr.
NJ. P. Crawford and was about 36
years of age. He is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Lola Heath, of
Charlotte, and two children, Martin
Crawford, and an infant daughter,
Lola Crawford his mother, Mrs. NJ.
P. Crawford, and one sister, Mrs.
John H. Poag, of this place; and his
uncle, DR.. NJ. L. Crawford.
Mr.. Crawford, though of a quiet,
unassuming manner, was public
spirited citizen and took keen in
terest in all that pertained to his
country's welfare. He was a mem
ber and leading officer in the Pres
byterian church here at the time of
his death. Mr.. Crawford's tragic
ending of his life has cast a gloom
over this community, and the news Of
his death will no doubt be heard with
sorrow everywhere

HELD on ASSAULT CHARGE.
Parents of Child Say Let Law Take
Its Course.

York, January 1.-Odessa Good, a
negro youth, 16 years old, is IN the
county Jail here charged with at
tempted criminal assault upon g.
year-old white girl, the daughter OF
a prominent farmer living in Bethel
township, about ten miles north of
this place. The crime was committed
on the premises of the girls father
Wednesday afternoon, but was not
discovered until Thursday. The ne
gro, who lives on the same farm with
his brother-in-law, was arrested
Thursday afternoon by Constable
Horace Johnson and brought to jail
here.
The youth of the negro is said to
have saved him from being burned by
outraged citizens of the Bethel COM
munity immediately alter the crime
was discovered. The desire of the lit
tie chiid's parents to let the law take
it's course prevented a lynching any
way. No further trouble is expected,
although there is much indignation
throughout this entire section over
the affair.
The child was given prompt medi-
cal attention as soon as her condition
was discovered, and attending physi-
clans say she will recover entirely.
1t is understood that the negro has
confessed his crime. He appeared sui
len and mean when questioned, and
appeared not to appreciate the serious
position he is in. He is a grandson
of Giles Good, who with four negroes,
Prindley Thomson, Bailey Dowdie,
Dan Roberts and Nose Lipscomb,
were lynched on the outskirts of this
town, April 5, 1887, for the murder
of a white boy in Bullock's Creek
township.
"J am not expecting trouble over
this affair." said Sheriff Hugh G.
Brown this morning. ''The parents
of the outraged child have expressed
their wish that the law. be allowed to
take it's course, and believe the good
citizens of York county will respect
that wish.''

Jr., son of Mr. and MIS-. Thomas
Childs, of this city, was crushed to
death in a freight elevator at Bir-

according to news which reached here
late yesterday The body will be
shipped here; the funeral services
will be, held at the residence on
Broad street, and interment will be

Stateburg, tomorrow morning.
Thomas Childs was in his 10th year
and graduated from the Sumter high
school eighteen months ago. He
left here just week ago to begin
work for the Steel Cities Chemical
corporation at Birmingham, and had
been at work only three days when
he was killed. The young man had
many friends among the boys and
girls of Sumter to whom the news
came as a blow. Surviving are his
parents, two sisters, Mrs T. D. Raw
enel, Jr., Miss Clara Childs, and one
brother, Master William Childs.

MAN AND WIFE INJURED.
Mrs. G. p. Wraay's Collar Bone Brok-
en-. But Two Children Escape.

Mrs. q. +. NraayS s COlldf Done Dun
en-. But Two Children Escape.
Camden, Dec 30.-Last night
about 9 o'clock, as Mr.. and Mrs. c..
p. Wray, of Ridgeway, were en- route
ito Sumter to visit relatives, they met
with serious accident when their
touring car left an embankment
about four miles below Camden on
the Sumter road, near Mulberry, the
winter home Of Mr.. D. R. Williams.
Mrs. Wray suffered fractured col
lar bone; Mr.. Wray was cut and
bruised about his hands. The two
children with them were, not hurt.
DIR. Corbett was summoned and hur-
ried to the scene, where, in the
meantime, Mrs. Wray had been car
ried to the home of Mr.. Williams,
where she was cared for until this
morning, when she was removed to
the Camden hospital, where she will
have to remain several days, it is
expected.
That all in the car were not serl-
ously injured or killed is considered
miraculous. AS the car left the en-
bankment it turned completely over,
and the occupants were evidently
thrown out as it was leaving the
narrow causeway. One wheel was
snapped off at the axle, and the car
lis practically wreck.

STATE SAYS GOODBYE.
Seven Other States Entered the Pro-
hibitiOn Ranks.

Columbia, Dec. 31.-"Good-bye,
booze, we're through sang South
Carolinians tonight as the sun went
down and the dispensaries closed up
forever. The remnant of the G. NJ.
|. departed this life officially at $40
o'clock this afternoon and South Car
olina took her place in the ranks of
the prohibition States. There were
no tears and no obsequies at the end.
The knowledge was Statewide that
the dispensaries would be no more
after tonight and the ending had been
discounted.
With some stock left on hand in
Richland and Charleston and possibly
few other counties there can be
nothing done with it unless the gen.
eral assembly directs some DISPOSE
ton to be made.
The stock on hand will be locked
in central warehouses and left until
further directions are given by the
law-making powers.
It is estimated by L. L. Bultman,
State dispensary auditor, that at
least $4,000 worth of liquor will
be on hand when the dispensaries
close this afternoon. This surplus
has placed the State authorities in a
uuandary, as the bill providing for
the referendum election did not pro-
vide for the disposal of any stock
that might be left over, and the po-
sition of every official and subordi-
nate of the system automatically
ceases tonight. This raises doubt
as to the ownership of the remaining
stock and what disposition can be
made of it as it cannot legally be sold
in South Carolina. The matter will
either have to be adjusted by the
legislature or the courts, it is said.
Bamberg and Williamsburg counties
are the only ones that have complete
ly disposed of their stocks. 1t is esti-
mated that the Columbia dispensaries
will have $4,000 surplus stock and
Charleston $4,000 worth of whiskey
on hand.
Governor Manning states that the
prohibition law will be enforced to
the letter. Representative Lilies, of
Orangeburg, at the next session OF
the legislature will introduce bill
making the penalty for conviction OF
the illicit selling of liquor a straight
chain gang sentence without the al
tentative of a fine.

DIR. ALLAN TANNER
AT TABERNACLE
Invites Labor Men to Renew
Acquaintance With Church
Minister Who Has Lived the Life Of a
Wage-Earner and Knows LaborS
Needs Enters New Activities

1t will interest local labor circle to
know that DIR. Allan A. Tanner of the
First Congregational church has be- come
associated with the Peoples Tabern cle,
Twentieth and Lawrence streets.
For a number of years DIR. Tanner has
made the labor problem his study md
the labor cause his mission. For, ON
close study of the worker and his
problems, while employed as a machin-
lists helper in the Jones works at To-
ledo, he became convinced that the iler
was misunderstood, his righteous de-
mands ignored, and that it was the DUTY
of the ministry to bring about an ap-
preciative understanding of the or ing
need for industrial betterment.
With this in view, DIR. Tanner pre-
pared two lectures based on the results
of his study and their virile forcefulness
made lasting impression in many East
ern cities. These lectures deal fairly and
squarely with the industrial situa ion
and point out the necessity of religion
extending to labor the hand of good will
and fellowship.
Nor have Dr. Tanners more recent ut
teiances departed from the ringing mes
sage of these earlier lectures. He stands
on the side of the jobless and the needy,
the helpless and the outcast. and in do
ing so seeks to bring religion in touch
with the workaday life, believing that
thru it we may more hopefully look FOR
harmonious settlement of difference and
strife. and that real social needs may
be served and social wrongs corrected
1t is in the hope that the constructive
possibilities, potential in an undogna-
tized religion, may be realized. that DR.
Tanner has interested himself in the
Tabernacle. made famous as the plain
peoples church during the life of the
late Parson Uzzell. He wants labor to
know him, and he wants to know la
Dor. and in the mutual sympathy which
will spring up from such an acquaint-
ance lies an immense force for social up
lift and regeneration.
DIR. Tanner speaks every Sunday even,
ing at the Tabernacle. In the morning
he may be heard at the First Congrega-
tional church, Tenth and Clarkson. Dr.
j. n Trompen, forceful speaker also
occupies the pulpit of the Tabernacle in
the morning. We are requested to urge
union men generally to attend.
