FATAL FIGHT AT CHERAW
Burch Kirkly Shot to DEATH on Main
Street of Town

Cheraw, Sept. 22.-While his wife
and little son sat in an automobile
nearby and looked helplessly on,
Burch Kirkley was shot to death here
Saturday afternoon by T. L. Ingram.
The shooting occurred in front of
the Bank of Cheraw, Kirkley had
just been shot and slightlywounded
by E. G. Ingram, when T. L. Ingram,
brother, rushed to the scene, took
the weapon from E. G. Ingram's hand
and fired the fatal shot into Kirk
ley's body.
Miss Sadie Long, a high school
teacher, was slightly wounded by a
stray bullet, in the course of the
shooting.
The origin of the trouble is not
definitely known. The Kirkley lands
were bought by the Ingram brothers
recently, and later auctioned off at a
substantial advance,it is said. For
some reason, it is believed, bad feel
ing had arisen over this land deal.
Mrs. Kirkley tainted when her hus-
band was shot and was revived with
difficulty. Her condition is now re-
ported serious.

NO FOUNDATION FOR CHARGE
States Members of The Civil Service
Commission

Washington, Sept. 22.-George r.
Wales, of the civil service commits
sion, today told the Senate postocice
subcommittee considering contested
postmaster nominations that the
Postoffice Department had not en-
deavored to exert any undue influence
upon the commission.
"Since | have been member OF
the commission" Mr.. Wales said, u
have seen nothing and heard nothing
that would prove any foundation in
such a charge"
Wales, who said he was a Repub-
lican, also defended the commission
action in changing ratings given in
a civil service examination so that
Robert T. Wade, Democrat, was al
lowed a percentage higher than that
of Cleveland Willis, Republican, for
the postmastership at Morehead City,
N. c., the commissioner declaring
that there is nothing in this case
that "approximates anything wrong"
H. A. Hesse, chief of the commits
sion's examination division and B.
w. Kumbler, an examiner employed
by the commission, told the commit
tee mistake in percentage for busi-
ness experience had been made in
the original examination for the
Morehead City position and that the
change made by the commission was
warranted.
When the committee adjourned
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tenn
essee, said that in view of charges
made by several witnesses of "perni-
cious activity" upon the part of the
Postmaster General relative to the
civil service commission, that Mr..
Burleson should be given an oppor-
tunity to appear Chairman Sterling
replied that he would discuss the
matter with other members of the
committee before determining wheth-
er he should be called.

Hanna-Crawford

Mr.. William Crawford Of Chester,
who has many friends in this county,
having lived in the Cedar Swamp
section, and from that place volun-
teered with a number Of young men
from Williamsburg. They saw SER

forwards with soldiers in France.
While all of this was taking place
Mr.. Crawford left deserving young

he liked. Notwithstanding the i'm
mence space intervening while "over
there" the fondness for each other
increased and on last Thursday he
took Miss Pat Hanna to the Presby-
terian Manse at '1ndiantown and in
the presence of her mother, Mrs. Ell

Rev Pritchard pronounced them man
and wife.
Miss Patt will be remembered as
a very enthusiastic Red Cross work
er. At her home she will be greatly
missed for her usefulness in Sunday
School and church work.

This low rate of insurance will en-
able the farmer to keep his cotton
stored on the farm at very little ex-
pense, and in this way help to keep
the cotton off the market. The cot
ton crop this year is very short, and
in our opinion if the farmers will
hold their cotton off the market this
fall and market it in the winter and
spring it will cause the price to go
up. Do not sacrifice your cotton this
fall. The price is too low, and the
purpose Of the mills and spectators
is to catch the distress cotton at as
low price as they can. Discourage
this by storing your cotton on the
farm, and make IT safe with fire
insurance policy written through our
agency. We are the largest and
most experienced agency in Williams
burg county, representing many
splendid fire insurance companies
and we will be delighted to handle
your business. The three corner
stones of our business are Reliability,
Honesty, and Courtesy.
Our business is general insurance

cidental and Health, Plate Glass,
Automobiles, and Bonding. If inter-
ested in any of these lines, Phone or

ITALY APPEAL TO ALLIES
To Help Drive DAnnunzio Out
Of Fiume

London, Sept. 22.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The Italian Govern
ment has appealed to the Allied pow
ers to send an Allied force, exclusive
of Italians, to drive D'Annunzio out
of Fiume, according to report here
tonight, which is considered reliable.
1t is understood the American ma
val authorities here, who control the
operations in the Adriatic, have de-
clined any assistance whatsoever
pending the final decision from Wash
ington or the peace delegations in
Paris.
The Italian Government, it is re-
ported, has pointed out in its appeal
it would be difficult for Italy to
handle the situation in view of Dan
nunzios popularity with the Italian
people and also because of the fact
that the Fiume decision has been
thorn in the side of the Italians.
It is understood the Italian Gov
eminent declared it deplored the sit,
uation and did not wish to make the
slightest move against the decision
of the peace conference, but pointed
ly inferred if D'Annunzio's hold or
Fiume was to be weakened, it must
be done by other than Italian troops
The Associated Press learns even
should the appeal be fayorably re-
ceived, no United States are availa,
BILE and, pending instructions from
high authority, the United States
naval vessels would stay outside the
three mile limit.

NEGROES APPROVE ACTION
Take Stand That Lynching Was
Justifiable

Athens, Ca, Sept. ga numbe,
of negroes residing near Lexington
Ga, have met and adopted resolu'
tions approving of the action OF
whites who recently lynched Obe
Cox, a negro, accused Of assaultlne
and numbering the wife of a white
farmer, it became known here to-
night.
The resolutions condemned IN
strong terms the crime that aroused
1000 men and set them to twenty
four-hour search of swamps and
woods, which was concluded with the
shooting of the negro and the burn
ing of his body. At the time the
crime was committed Cox was under
indictment for an attack on a negro
woman. He is said to have confess
ed before death to the crimes.
Negroes who took the stand that
the lynching was justified were said
to have consisted of some of tie
most orderly and prosperous IN
Oglethorpe county where the white
woman was killed. Nick Walter a
negro who leases and operates a
farm of several ploughs, was SAID by
officials at Lexington to have taken
a leading part in the adoption of the
resolutions. Just how many negroes
took part in the move could not be
learned here tonight.

INSURANCE CO.
ISSUES BULLETIN
INSURANCE RATES ON COTTON
IN COUNTY REDUCED
MATERIALLY

Many people in this county have
been looking forward for sometime
for a reduction in insurance rates on
cotton in the county, that is cotton
in bales, and we are glad to announce
to the public that on August 4th, the
Southeastern Underwriters Associa-
tion of Atlanta, Ga, issued the fol-
lowing regulation: Policies cover
ing cotton at plantation to be written
at barn or ,outbuilding rate, provided
policy contains warranty. that not ex-
ceeding ten bales will be stored in
building or in open."
This means, of course, that in or
der to obtain barn rates the cotton
must be placed so that not to exceed
ten bales will be exposed to the same
fire should a fire occur. No two
buildings containing ten bales each
can be less than 80 feet apart. If
there are intervening buildings the
sum of all the clear spaces added to-
gether not to be less than 100 feet
between the two buildings containing
the cotton.
The old cotton insurance rate on
the plantation was $3.50 per hundred
plus the 1919 war emergency charge.
The 1919 war emergency charge has
been removed and the rate $3.50 ap-
plies where the number of bales stor-
ed in one place is in excess Of ten.
If the cotton is stored as per the
above quoted regulations the rate in
shingle roof building is $3.50 per
hundred, metal roof building $1.70.
Where the cotton is placed in the open
in ten bale lots unexposed the $3.50
rate applies.
Valuing a bale of cotton at $3.50
and the insurance rate at $3.50 or
S1.7O the cost of insurance on a bale
of cotton will cost as follows:

CRITtCIZEs THE PRESIDENT
Penrose Declares He Brought Jewels
From Europe

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
Penrose, Republican, Pennsylvania,
declared in the Senate today that
President. Wilson and his party
brought back from the Paris peace
conference jewels and other gifts
from Crowned heads" which he had
been told were worth more than one
million dollars.
Interrupting speech by Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona,who said
that in 1910 it had been proposed to
prohibit acceptance of gifts from
foreign rulers by the President, Sen
ator Penrose asked if the Arizona
Senator had in mind gifts made to
President Wilson while in Europe.
81 know nothing of that" Senator
Ashurst replied, "but if any Demo-
crat accepted such gifts he would re-
ceive my condemnation as quickly as
if he were a Republican"
81 have been told that the Presi-
dent and his party came back over
burdened with presents from crown
ed heald and foreign governments,
Senator Penrose said. "There was
jewelry valued at hundreds Of thou
sands, and was told that customs
authorities valued the gifts at more
than a million dollars"

took the stand and testified longer
than an hour as to the names on the
polling list. Some of those not de-
signated as soldiers were well known
to himself and others in the commu-
nifty who volunteered information. In
one instance an affidavit was sub
mitted from a citizen of Williams
burg county that he did not vote, but
that some one had voted in his name
at Andrews. 1t developed that a SOL
der with the same name and initials
did vote at Andrews, but his name
was not entered On the polling list
as a soldier.
When all papers and testimony
had been received and arguments
ended, A. E. Padgett, committeeman
from Edgefeld, moved that the pro-
test be dismissed, as evidence tend
ing to prove fraud was not sufficient,
and that the Irregularities as to typo
graphical errors and failure to de-
signate who were soldiers would not
justify throwing out the votes. The
committeeman said he would not
know where to start or where to
stop, and he believed the majority OF
the committeeman were of the same
opinion. T. H. Gooding of Hampton
took the same position. John c. Cliff
ton of Sumter thought the committee
ought to try to purge the Andrews
box, if it could, by making a thor
ough examination Of the charges
submitted. If the box could not be
purged, then it should be thrown out,
which would mean another primary.
With the date for the general cleo
tion fixed October 7, the question was
raised if the general election could
be postponed for another primary.
Concensus of opinion was that it
could not be moved up. The motion
by Mr.. Padgett was then put with II
supporting it and eight opposing.
Mr.. Stoll was represented by A.
C. Kinds and L. w. Gilland.

Control of Coal Prices

The Director General of Railroads
has given warning that the public
may look for an attempt to increase
the price of coal this winter, on the
plea that transportation is made
quate to the supply of the country,
and he disposes of that in advance
by declaring that the railroads are
able to take care of the entire move
ment necessary and that the public
should not stand for any increase in
the cost of fuel.
