PINCKNEY SMITH
GONE TO HIS REWARD

Pinckney Smith, died in Columbia
late Sunday afternoon.
TO the people of Manning and to the
children especially his passing bring
the deepest sorrow. His wonderful
character and his devotion to those in
the home will make him solely missed
by those nearest and dearest to him.

cred him cripple for life. Later on,
even though an invalid, he was able to
get about by means Of a specially
constructed tricycle.. He was unable
to go to school of any consequence but
attained very liberal education
through extensive reading. He de-
vcloped Il wonderful character and re-
sponded to every appeal of righteous
ness in a marvellous way. His pat
rlotlsm was very marked and out of
the money he was able to make invest
ed it in the purchase Of Liberty Bonds.
TO the church he was equally devoted
and was liberal TO make contlibu-
tion to his utmost limit. His love for
humanity was very marked. He was
devoted to children and in turn they
responded to him. His wonderful de
votion to his fathcr-who has been
father and mother to him both-was
only one of his lovely characteristics.
He was ever loyal and devoted.
The funeral services were held at
the cemetary Monday afternoon at s
o'clock, Rev. l.. b. McCord pastor of
the Presbyterian church and Rev. ].
=. Easily of the Baptist church con-
ducting the services. y lovely tribute
was the singing Of the children of the
community as they each placed a
flower upon Pinckney's grave.
He is survived by his father, Rev.
G. B. Smith, two sisters, Miss Isabel
Smith and Mrs. Jessie Sprott and one
brother, William Smith Of Washing

A CARD

10 the Voters Of Clarendon County:
have been hearing Of reports being
circulated on me for some time, and
have not been paying any attention to
this slander, but as they are being
multiplied, patience ceases to be a
virtue. do not believe that the peo-
pie will pay any attention to this
slander on me, as l believe they will
know that it is campaign lies and is
being circulated by people who are
now getting desperate, however, in
justice to me and for fair play, / want
to ask you who are my friends, when
you hear any one telling these sland-
ers on me, ask two witnesses to hear
him repeat the slander and give me
the name of the party and the witness
es, and please remember that where a
party who repeats a slander for the
purpose of injuring another only are
just as guilty as the party who first
told it.
l want to ask you not to believe any
reports you hear about me for all the
slander that | have been hearing told
on me is nothing more than rotten
campaign lies, and being told to in
jure me.
| ask you all to go to the election on
your vote for your choice for Sheriff.
| led the ticket by large vote in
the first Primary and l believe l will
be elected your Sheriff on next Tues
day by a large vote.
| want you to urge all the votes to
go and cast their vote and make my
majority as large as possible, every
voter can lay aside his work on next
Tuesday long enough to go and vote
and for the sake of good citizenship
do so.
l hope to round up the slanderers
and if you will just give me the names
of the parties and the witnesses | will
do it.
Again thanking you for the hand
some vote you gave me in the first
Primary and thanking you al in ad-
vance for the votes you will roll up
for me next Tuesday.

AMERICAN ESCAPES
FROM BANDIT, CLAIM
Pedro ZamOra's Followers Reduced
From 500 to 20, Says
Gen. Estrada

Mexico City, Sept. 7-W. A. Gardi-
ner, citizen of the United States,
who was captured by Pedro Zamora,
the Jalisco bandit on August 20, at
Cuale, has escaped, according 10 Off
cial advices.
Gen. Enrique Estrada, commanding
government troops pursuing Zamora,
reported last evening to the War De-
partment that he had been advised by
Major Hedia Del Puerto, commander
at Autlan, that an American Mac
Swiney, had arrived at Autlan and
asked for an escort to bring Gardiner
fro ma ranch some distance from
town.
1t was stated that Gardiner took
refuge at this ranch following his
escape from the bandits during the
fight at Rancho Divisidero more than
q week ago. An escort was sent out
for Gardiner Gen. Estrada added that
British Consul Holme, at Guadalajara,
had received a similar report. Moth
ing is known as to the whereabouts
of BERTHE G. Johnson, British sub
ject, who was a fellow captive of
Gardiner.
Gen. Estrada reported that Zamora,
on September 5, attempted to reach
the western coast through two noun
tain passes. Aqua Blanca and Yerba
Btina, but encountered detachmemts
of government troops and fled in dis
order. He lost several men and was
accompanied in his flight by only a
handful Of followers. IT Is asserted
that during the last fifteen days the
Zamora band has been reduced from
bout 500 to 20 and there were bright
prospects for the annihilation of the
outlaws soon.
Gen. Estrada concluded his report
with an announcement that Co. Rojas,
with thirty-five members of Zamora' s
band, have surrendered at Cihuatalan
State Of Ialisco.

"The party is actually without fmds

has its financial condition been So bad
in the middle of a presidential ca,n-
paign. Please do everything that you
can to avert actual disaster. On be
half of candidate who has been fight
ing remarkable battle, considerins
that he has been without arms or am
