County Hospital
.: Opens Tomorrow
Afternoon With Appropriate Exer.
else. Followed by Reception To
Which the Public is Invited
Mayor Mars Will Make
Address.

The formal opening of the Coun-
ty Hospital will take place tomor-
row Thursday afternoon with
appropriate exercises followed by a
general reception to which the pub
lie is invited and urged to attend.
This invitation is extended to every
citizen of the County as the hospi-
tai is not for the city alone by any
means and the people from every
section of the County should feel
that it belongs to them as well as to
the residents of the Court House.
The furniture has already been
placed in the hospital and every
thing made spick and span under
the energetic supervision Of
Miss Reep, head nurse. Miss Adkins,
who has charge of the surgical de-
partment, says that. she will be
ready Thursday afternoon to re-
ceive patients who have been
awaiting the opportunity of being
first served in the brand new hospi-
tai.
From four until six o'clock
Thursday afternoon is the time set
apart for inspection of the hospital
and the nurses will take pleasure in
showing visitors through every de-
partment and explaining to them
just how a modern hospital is fitted
up and how everything is conducted
on strictly sanitary lines.
At six o'clock the opening exer-
cises proper will take place after a
prayer is offered beseeching the
guidance of Divine Providence in
the good work which the institu-
ton is to do. An address will be de-
livered by Hon. ]. Moore Mars,
mayor of the city, followed by a
response delivered by DIR. j. c.
Hill, president of the board of di-
rectors of the hospital.
Refreshments will be served by
the faithful women whose untiring
zeal and sacrificing work have
made possible he Abbeville County
Memorial Hospital. Music will be
furnished by. local talent during the
intermissions.
Mrs. Otto Bristow stopped in The
Press and Banner Office yesterday
afternoon and showed us list Of
the contributors from the mer-
chants Of the city for the refresh
ments to be- served at the close OF
the exercises. Judging from the i'm
,mense quantity of various good
things which the merchants and, 9TH
Ter friends, gave for the. refresh
ments it: appears to :Ls.' more like a
banquet menu which we have to
look forward to, :, than '. simple
hand-around.

Elberton Officer
Kills Two Negroes
Will Pelot and "Skeet" Harris Dis
orderly on Seaboard Train No.
IL Shoot Elberton Policeman
Who in Turn Opens Fire
Killing Both Negroes

Will yPelot, porter in the employ
of the Seaboard Air Line, on the
North Carolina division, and Will
Harris, better known as "Skeet"
Harris, discharged brakeman of the
Abbeville division, met their death
at the hands of Policeman L. Jones,
of Elberton, Ca, early yesterday
morning.
Pelot and Harris were Dotn riding
IN dead-head coach on the north
bound Seaboard vestibuIe, known as
No. IL, which is due 20 arrive in
Abbeville at, 2 100 a. m. For some dis
tance below Elberton the negroes
had raised considerable disturbance
in the dead-head coach wnicn they
occupied alone.
While the train was standing at the
station in Elberton Pelot stuck. his
head out of a window of the coach
and began cursing Policeman Lefton
Jones who was on duty at the station.
The officer told the negro to shut up.
Pelot continuing to curse invited
the officer to make him shut up. Po-
liceman jones then entered the
coach to arrest the disorderly negro.
When Policeman Jones entered
the coach he was immediate
ly fired upon by Pelot> and struck in
the shoulder. The officer ce1ending
himself, opened fire and with deadly
aim killing both Pelot and Harris.
Some witnesses state that Harris was
endeavoring to dodge the cross fire
between the officer and Pelot when
he was struck in the spinal cord.
"Skeet" Harris was familiar fig
ure about the city and for some time
had been in the employ of the Sea-
board as brakeman but recently was
discharged.
Pelot was 29 years old and has
family living in Monroe. Harris was
35 years old and has a wife and son
living in Abbeville.
Policeman Jones regrets the kill
ing of Harris very much as his death
was accidental in that the officer was
not firing at him. The officer, whose
wound was not serious was out yes
terday afternoon and says that he
considers himself extremely lucky in
not having been killed by Pelot.
Special agent Blackwell of the
Seaboard went to Elberton yesterday
to investigate the affair. It is stated
that the special agent once was fore
ed to hit Pelot in the head with
hammer. -Pelot had the reputation Of
being a dangerous character, especi-
ally when under : the influence Of
drink. A bottle of Beef, Iron and
Wine was found on his person after
he was shot by Policeman Jones.

FIRE ATTRACTS more
THANcANDDATESpO.

SPEAKING. TO A Small CROWD
f: =. OF LANCASTER Z CITIZENS:
AND LOT Of EMPTY BENCHES
SENATORIAL AsPIRANTs
FAIL TO HOLD AUDIENCE
WHEN FIRE ENGINE GOES
BY-oN TO YORK TODAY
J. Irby Koon, Staff Cores
pondent Of The State, reports the
Lancaster meeting yesterday as
follows:
Candidates for the United States
senate made poor. showing in
drawing crowd, when attempting
to compete with d fire engine, when
the fire bell sounded here today. I
BARRIERS left their patrons alone
temporarily to- inhale suds, GUS
toners in stores waited for their
change, and their was general
,optpouring of the populace into the 3
streets to see the fire apparatus go
by with boys on bicycles and old and
young scurrying along in the wake.
IIhis was in sharp contrast to the
scene at the court house when w.
Williams, who was presiding in the
absence of r. s. Stewart, county
chairman, called the meeting to I
order. He had little more than the
empty benches to address. The
speaking began with about, 20
voters present. This number was
steadily augmented by late ar
rivals until approximately SO were
In attendance. The Rev. r. T.:
Mason, Methodist divine, who
served overseas as chaplin in the
Thirtieth division, offered prayer.
Meeting Last Night fS
/ Tonight the candidates addressed
other voters at the Lancaster mills.
Tomorrow morning they go to
York, where the next scheduled
meeting is held. Representative
Stevenson was present again today \
and made another forceful talk on
the necessity Of the Democrats
rallying in full strength to the
standard bearer of their party. Mr..
Stevenson was..the only. speaker who.
got a sharp bolt of applause. h
= w. C. Irby Of Ladrens was the \
first speaker today and gave his
full time to a discussion of what he
terms financial despotism in con-
troll of the railroads, the banking
system and the packing houses. He
gave figures today which he said
were taken from reports Of the
congressional investigation of the
high cost of commodities. Some of
the figures given were that the
packing houses had last year
profit of 4,2O0 per cent, or $42 for
every dollar invested. Furniture
dealers were said to have made
more than 5000 per cent. and
clothing manufacturers 1926 per
cent. or s89 for every dollar in
vested. His plan is to build a sys-
tenn of packing houses with the
credit of the federal government =
behind them. Failure thus to create
a market for the farmers has
starved 100000 farmers off the
farms, he says which if continued
means the ruination Of the coup>
try.
w. P. Pollock followed the
Laurens candidate and spoke
lengthily on the liquor issue. Mr..
Pollock says he is not willing either
by compromise or by sham to be-
come a party in helping to lift the
flood gates to liquor in South Caro-
lima. He wants to: keep the 18th
amendment in the federal constitu-
tion and wants to see it enforced.
He would be honor bound to with
draw from the race were plank in
serted in the national Democratic
platform calling for its repeal.
