SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

Phillip w. Love, formerly chief of
police of York for 25 years, commit
ted suicide after returning home from
Sunday School last Sunday morning.
Ill health is thought to have been his
reason for self destruction. He shot
himself in the head and evidently
died instantly. He was 55 years of
age and was married.
Webber Edwards, deputy sheriff
of Saluda county, was shot and killed
last Saturday night by negro naced
Elliot Culbraith. The officer had gone
to the negro's house to arrest and the
negro opened fire from inside the
house, bullet entering the chest and
causing death. Culbraith escaped, but
is being followed by posse.
Nj. J. Smith is under arrest at Brus-
sells, Georgia, for passing bogus
checks in Rock Hill. Smith succeeded
in victimizing a number of persons
out of $500. He will be brought to
Rock Hill to face trial.
Frank and Floyd Kirby, aged six
and eight years, were brutally murd-
cred and their bodies thrown into
creek last Saturday. The children had
gone hunting with neighbor, Roy
Henderson, aged 16, and Henders On
is in Jail charged with the double
murder One of the children was sEot
and the other was beaten to death.
Henderson denied the crime, but gave
very unsatisfactory account Of him
self during the time the children had
been missed from home.
The average yield of corn in South
Carolina this year is given as l 8 BUSH
els to the acre, as against 16 bushels
in 1919. The total production is up
ward of 42,5O0,0OO bushels.
Marion Hagood, Richland coun-
ty farmer who disappeared from CO.
lumbia last Saturday after dispos-
ing of $500 worth of cotton and
whose automobile was found in a
lonely spot with note in it saying
that Hagood had been murdered,
turned up Monday morning in
Jacksonville, Florida, with a strange
tale explaining his disappearance. He
claims to have been kidnapped by
burglars" who relieved him of all
his money and took him to Florida in
a motor car, releasing him in the
woods six miles from jacksonville.
Some people doubt the truth of his
explanation.

A ROAD OR NO ROAD
THAT is THE QUESTION IN MT.
CROGHAN TOWNSHIP
After Voting Bonds To Construct
Permanent Highway Reactionary
Element Wants To Renig

Mt. Croghan Township is split into
two factions.
Faction number one is known as
the progressive party and is in FAVOR
of building new road through the
township with the money that has al
ready been raised through a bond is
sue and government assistance.
Faction number two is known as
the reactionary party and has en-
joined the Board of Public Works
from paying out the money for the
road improvement as approved by
government engineers. This faction
wants to give up claim to government
assistance and would take the money
realized on the bonds and put it into
all the roads in the township.
At present temporary injunction
restrains the contractors from pro-
ceeding with the work on the one
road project, and, to spend the money
on all the roads in the township would
probably require another election.
At any rate there is considerable
feeling among the two factions. Just
what the reactionaries will accomplish
is hard to foretell, but one thing is
certain; they have delayed the build
ing of a good road through the town.
ship for an indefinate period
In April 1919 Mt. Croghan town
ship voted in favor of issuing bonds
to the amount of $40, 900 for the pur-
pose of building a gravel-clay road
through the township. The bonds
were sold at a premium to firm of
Atlanta brokers and the government
surveyors made maps and approved
the plan for rebuilding the main road
through the township. This approval
meant that the government would
give dollar for dollar toward build
ing, under the government supervis-
ion, of the main highway In other
words the sum of $4,000 would be
available if used in accordance with
the government plan. This plan as
agreed upon by the Mt. Croghan
Board of Public Woks and the govern
ment engineers provided for rebuild
ing the present road from Cruces
Branch to the Old Store Township
line, distance of between eleven and
twelve miles.
After election bids were advertis-
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1920-11-25
ed for and in the first batch of bids
received the lowest was $4,000. This

ed for and in the first batch of bids
received the lowest was $4,000. This
being in excess of the total amount
realized from the bonds and the
government, bids were again called
for and the second batch brought
forth low bid of $4,000. A third
time bids were asked for and the
third time was a charm as bid of
$4,000 was received and accepted.
1t was about this time that the re-
dictionary party began to object to
putting the money into one road,
many of them claiming that they had
voted for bonds with the understand
ing that all roads in the county were
TO be rebuilt.
The commissioners who received
the bids were Messrs. G. E. Baker, T.
G. Griggs, and j. A. Taylor. Messrs.
Baker and Taylor signed the contract
but Mr.. Griggs refused. 1t is said that
Mr.. Gridgs now leads the reaction
aries in the fight against building a
road and favors spending $4,000 in
repairing all the roads in the town
ship
Engineers and all who have a
knowledge of such things state that
$4,000 spent on all the roads in the
township would be of no use what
ever and might as we'll be thrown into
the fire as so sQuandered, while the
same amount together with an equal
amount from the government would
give the township ~ miles of perma-
nent thoroughfare and where most
needed.
The rcactionaries recently sought
to strengthen their case by electing
Mr.. r. A. Bu:ch, one of their number,
to succeed Mr.. Baker on the commits
sion. Mr.. Baker was a candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Burch apparently won
by large majority, but the progress
sivcness contested the election. The
election, board, after careful review,
threw out the Burch election and con-
tinued Mr.. Baker in office.
Meanwhile the injunction is still
on. The contractors have only this
week looked over the road and are
ready to start work.
However, before this can be done
the injunction will have to be dissolv-
ed and as yet no application to this
end has been made.
If the injunction should be made
permanent it is said that the progress
ives will sue for an annullment of
the bond election and have the bond
money returned to the voters rather
than have it thrown away in repairing
all the roads in the township.
In spite of all this there are those
who still hope to live to see a good
road in Chesterfield County. Such
people deserve the title of optimists.

GUARD KILLS PRISONER
ROBERT ATKINSON SHOOTS
NEGRO IN SELF DEFENSE
James Lewis Had But Two More Days
To Serve On Chain Gang-Became
Unruly And Lost His Life

James Lewis, who was also known
as James Rivers, negro about 25
years of age was shot and instantly
killed Tuesday morning when he at
tempted to attack Robert Atkinson.
Lewis was prisoner on the county
chain gang and Mr.. Atkinson was the
guard in charge.
Magistrate Gulledge, of Mt. Crogh-
an, held an inquest and exhonorated
Mr.. Atkinson from all blame, as it
was clearly shown that the killing was
in self defense.
Lewis had been on the gang for
twenty-eight days and had but two
days more to serve. He was sent up
for thirty days for larceny. For sew
eral days he had been sull1ing and
impudent both to the guard and to
the foreman or the gang. He had
sworn several times when
ordered to do his work. Know
ing that the negro's> time
was about up and that he would soon
be rid or him Mr.. Atkinson did not
pay much attention to his behavior
On Tuesday morning Lewis failed to
get up for breakfast and Mr.. Atkin-
son went to him and inquired if he
was sick. The negro replied that he
was not sick, but that he was tired of
working for nothing, or some such
words, accompanied by oaths. Mr.. At
kinson ordered him to harness team
and get to work, also to cut out the
swearing and back talk. 1t was at this
point that Lewis left his team and
rushed for the guard. Mr.. Atkinson
fired three shots, all of which took eff
feet. Lewis fell dead
Witnesses at the inquest testified
to the bad disposition Of Lewis and of
his cursing and threatening attitude
toward the guard. The foreman also
told of considerable trouble that had
been given him by the negro, who
seemed intent upon having trouble
before he left the camp.
The negro was large man against
whom Mr.. Atkinson would have had
little chance had the negro laid hands
upon him.
The camp where the killing occurr-
ed is located on the Wadesboro and
Mt. Croghan road about five miles
from Mt. Croghan.

NORTH CAROLINA TOWN
MAKES RED CROSS RECORD

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 23.-Thomas-
vile, N. c., has won the honor for the
southeast of being the first Red Cross
chapter in the United States to go
cover the top" in the Fourth Red
Cross Roll Call.
Official confirmation of the fact
that Thomasville was first to raise it's
full quota of members was received
at southern division headquarters of
the Red Cross today in telegram to
this effect from national headquarters
at Washington.
Thomasville's record is the more
remarkable in that it was also "first
over the top" in the nation last year
in the Third Red Cross Roll Call. No
other city in the country has equalled
this feat of being the first two years
in succession.
Thomasville, states Chairman C. F.
Lambeth, of the Thomasville chapter,
had a "before breakfast campaign"
when the Fourth Roll Call began No
vember IL. Territories and quotas
were assigned to the different teams
on the day before, and at dawn of
Armistice Day the workers were on
the streets. Citizens Of Thomasville
had been informed beforehand what
to expect, with the result that the
workers were given a cordial welcome
everywhere and the full quota of
members was secured before the milk
man arrived. News of Thomasville's
success was flashed in telegram to
southern division headquarters and
thence to Washington early that
morning.

HAS BRIEF VACATION

Sam Moseley, colored, escaped
from the Jail at Dillon last Thursday
evening. AS Sam lived, when at home,
in this county Deputy Sheriff Grant
was wired to be on the lookout for
him in case he was foolish enough to
come into Mr.. Grants domain. Mr..
Grant took trip into the territory in
which he thought it most likely his
man would visit and soon got wind of
him. He spent an entire night follow
ing clues and tracks but was always
just little behind hand. However, on
Saturday morning he was able to head
off and capture the fugitive. Moseley
seemed glad to be caught, for, as he
explained, he had walked ever since
ne got out of Jail and he wanted to
get into Jail or anywhere so he could
take off his shoes and rest his feet. He
is now resting his feet in the Dillon
Jail.

City to Remove Ashes
Under Contract System
Plan to Erect a Municipal Dis
pOsal Plant on Riker's Island
Is Abandoned

The city went back to a contract
basis for the removal of ashes yester-
day, when Commissioner Arnold B. Mac
Stay, of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment, opened bids for the work. Since
the contract with Rodgers e. Haggerty
was scontinued hy the Board Of Esti-
mate April l, the old contractors were
ordered to remove their disposal plant
from Riker's Island and the city au-
thorities talked good deal about erect
ing municipal plant and the city it,
self dong the work.
NO definite action toward that end
was taken and the accumulation Of
ashes and refuse throughout tho CITY
has been the subject of many com
plants. Major La Guardia. President
Of the Board of Aldermen, was insistent
that the monopoly of the contracting
system be broken. Commissioner Mac
Stay had asked the Board of Estimate
for necessary equipment to do the
work.
Rodgers & Haggerty appeared again
yesterday as bidders for the contract.
but receded from their demand for
$500 scow. which the city refused to
pay last April, and offered to do the
work for S275 a scow. There were
several other bids. bus none lower than
this figure.
