TWO NEGROES DEAD
FOLLOWING THREAT
Carroll MobIey and Henry M. Ray in
Serious Condition With Ralph
Thompson Less Seriously Hurt.

The State.
Denmark, July 1.-Two negroes
were killed and three white men
wounded, two of them dangerously,
; in a shooting scrape here late this
afternoon between a white man and
one or two negroes. The dead are
Agent Brown and George Stevens,
negroes.
Carroll Mobley, white, about 20
years old, has two bullets in his
breast and a third in one of his arms
and is not expected to live through
the night.
Henry Murray Ray, 22 years old,
son of Sheriff S. G. Ray, was shot
through the neck and is paralyzed
from the waist down. His condition
/ is also critical.
J. Ralph Thompson, white, 25
years of age and unmarried, had an
arm shattered by bullet. His con-
dition is not serious. All three of
the young men will be taken to a
Hospital in Columbia on the early
morning train. Thompson is an en-
ployee of the telegraph company.
The trouble arose out of case il.
court between the two negroes. In
the trial Stevens was charged with
stealing some watermelons from
Brown and Carroll Mobley was wit
ness for Stevens. When court ad-
! journed this afternoon, with the trial
unfinished, Brown and his brother-in-
law, Ozeli Anderson, left the court
room first and one of the negroes
was heard to remark, "We'll get him
yet" In the court room were 35 or
40 white people. These came out
latter the negroes, and Mobley cross
ed the street toward the negroes,
when Brown opened fire. Mobley
dashed back toward the street, with
Brown continuing firing. Mobley
took refuge behind tree and drew
his pistol and shot Brown dead. In
the meantime Brown had shot Ray
Thompson and Stevens. Anderson is
missing tonight, but is being search
ed for, as eye witnesses claim that
Anderson had part in the shooting.
Both of the negroes were middle
aged, each being about 35 to 40
years old. Stevens was employed by
the American Telephone company.

BATEMAN DIES OF HIS WOUNDS
State Constable Shot by Distiller
Passes Away at Hospital.

News and Courier.
Columbia, July 18.-J. Fletcher
Bateman of Camden, State consta-
BILE, who was shot yesterday in raid
ing an illicit distillery in Kershaw
county, died on the operating table
at local hospital here this after
noon from the effects of his wound.
He was shot through the intestines.
His body will be taken to Camden in
the morning, and the funeral services
will be held there when his son ar
rives from Texas. Mr.. Batesman was
brought to Columbia today from
Camden.
The dead officer had high repu-
!tation for probity and regard for
duty, and he was a man fearless in
the performance Of his duties, so
much so that his superiors often had
to caution him to be careful of his
personal safety. He was a constable
under the former Governor D. c.
Hayward and was chief constable un-
der former Governor Martin F. An
'sel with headquarters at Charleston.
81 am deeply grieved at the death
of my friend, Mr.. j. F. Bateman,"
said Governor Cooper tonight when
he was told that the officer was dead.
"He was not only a good officer,
fearless and efficient in the discharge
of his duty, but was good citizen
devoted to the welfare of his State.
He possessed the traits which 60 to
make an ideal. He was brave and
was a gentleman, and in a very in
teligent manner went about the dis
charge of his duty. He has served
during several administrations as a
State officer, and never have / heard
anything derogatory to his character
or to his work.
''The State can III afford to lose
such man. He met his death in the
line of duty, met it while he was
doing all in his power to afford to So
ciety the protection Of the law,
without which our social fabric would
become chaotic: and our happiness
and uacurity be lost

regretted to say that the JnileI
States government had made vag.
rants out Of the negro men when uni,
forms were put on them. He callet
attention to the statement Of the
governor that many arrests are be.
ing made of negroes carrying OBJ,
scene pictures on their persons.
81 hope that whenever a negro is
found with obscene pictures on him
! he will be arrested" said Mr.. Mann
"and when white man is found with
them he will be tarred and feathereG
and run out of the community on a
rail-"
Juvenile Courts Endorsed.
A resolution was adopted memo
rializing the legislature to establish
| juvenile courts in each county when
needed.
Sheriff John C. Mccain of Rich
land county, said that the negro sol
dier has returned from overseas with
exalted ideas of social equality and
they seem determined to force the
! issue by trying to ride with white
people on the street cars, demanding
to be served at white soda fountains,
etc. He saw in this attitude great
danger.
County Investigators Needed.
Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman
of the Eleventh judicial circuit, sug-
Igested that Investigations b. proper
men in each county would save the
State money and would insure more
convictions, because solicitors would
be in possession of more facts when
the cases came to trial. Many cases
go to trial, he stated, without the
State having all its witnesses, which
condition would be obviated by hav-
ing investigators in each county to
work up the major cases.
A motion was adopted for the
chairman to appoint committee to
draft the conventions requests,
which will be presented to the gen.
eral assembly by Governor Cooper.
Governor Cooper thanked the
peace officers for coming to Colum-
bia to the conference, which, he be-
lieves, will be of benefit to the Off
GERS and the people. He said he felt
greatly encouraged.
AS to the Negro Situation.
Solicitor Henry, chairman, in clos
ing the convention, referred to the
various remarks made about the ne
gro, and said that the situation can
be handled, but what he thought was
needed was a greater determination
on the part of the white people to en-
force the law among themselves.
Right there, he stated, is the danger.
He said that he is not as much afraid
of the negro as of the white, people,
who have been growing careless and
are allowing their standards to be-
come lowered.
Mr.. Henry suggested that when
the sheriffs return to their counties
they call meeting of their deputies,
the magistrates, constables, etc., and
take the matter of law enforcement
in hand and arouse public opinion,
along which line each sheriff should
be a leader in his own county.
After the convention adjourned
the sheriffs held a meeting.

 AEROPLANES HERE Rockwell Makes Experimental Flights With Two Cylinder Motor PLANES WILL SELL FOR S1,000
661 Pupils Enrolled in Local Schools -Tcndcreh Showcr-Two- thirds of Army Bacon Sold-Peoplo Crowd Municipal Stations.

,"f Will Tlainville make an importa mt aVlaton center and manufacturiilg town? ? IS the question that dweltsg in the mlnds of the public at the present. tlme. The fact that Hugh Rockwellr part owner of the RockwelI-Dra ke plant has announced his. inten ton of making an aviation field on Farming ton avenue makes it probable that either planes will be manufactured at tho loca! plant or be sent hero from the plant at New Haven for try-outse Although there is much talk,about the town regarding the manufacturing of ships in the local plant, assertions to this effect would not be verified by Aviator Rockwell any of the officials of the plant
 The plane, which it is thought will De manufactured here, has been nick named the flying tlivver" and was seen flying about the town last teve- hing Aviator Rockwell brought the ship to the local plant from New Haven several weeks ago and since then has been making maHy improve nents on the engine and the con struction of the Ship. Since his com ing back to town he has encountered seNeraI< mishaps which havo affected the engine and the wood construction of the ship. While alighting shortly after heS brought the, ship here from New Haven he struck several hives of beds and was badly stung' about the arms and face. The trip last night proved to be very successful.
 The plane is a winged ship and. is driven by a two cylinder motor, and when high in the clouds makes {noise similar to that of d Ford, The nickname Plying FlivNer'' was also applied to tho ship because of the fact that Mr. Rockwell intends to- mGnn- facturo the ships on 0 plan similar to the manufacture of Fords. G'he total cost of tho ship being used by Aviator Rockwell i9 about S16, ,000 but g new and cheap plane is planned byy the factory officials it is believed will Dst exceed the amount of 1,000 Aero planes sold at this figure will without a doubt be the cheapest nlachinos Ior sala in tho. cclmtpye Y.E.5a .g@f < Tt is with interest that the local residents await the opening of the plant that will manufacture air>hips, as the establishing of that kind Of a plant would not only afford inter- esting work for many of the towns mechanics, but would also help in the intlustrial development Of the town of PlainWle. The ship built by MT
 Rockwell personally will also be a great, boom to the airship industry, which from present indications will be siAlilar to the automobile industry of thes present time. MT Rockwell feels that in times to come small ships, the model of his flying hiv- vcr" will be used in everyday life by, the American business man. .t *T.
