A couple Of our young people,

been staying at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Elan Bills,
west of town, since their marriage,
and Frank was staying in town
holding down the work at his place
of business, tn. Statzell & Benham
barber shop. Their marriage be-
came known when the couple star

WANTS EQUALITY.
Negro Ex- Soldier Creates Scene In the
Spartanbure Court Room.

Evans Bobo, a negro eX-service man,
was tried yesterday for assault and
battery with intent to kill, relates a
Spartanburg dispatch.
The testimony was that he went into
the field where w. r. Cannon and his
family were at work, and asked about
the boil weevil. He then turned to L.
E. Cannon, son OF w. r. Cannon, and
said: You have some pretty girls here;
how about one of them?" The negro
had a gun and the girls left at once,
going toward the house. The man
tried to get the negro to go off, but in
stead he shot at the elder man, re-
loaded and shot again, hitting both
men.
Bobo was tried with handouts on,
which is unusual, but he is cons!dered
dangerous negro. He claims tor be
crazy, but a commission of physicians
say he is sane. When he went on the
stand he made a rather dramatic
speech. He said:
What they said about the shooting
is true. l shot at Mr. Cannon and did
what they said | did. 1t was me who
did it. The reason lost my mind was
because President Wilson promised the
colored man that If he would go to
France and fight like man, when he
came back he would be equal to the
white man, and would hav" the sane
shor: as the whit" man; and yoa all
know that we amt got il. President
Harding promised when he was elected
that he would get all the peop,e in the
,eague of nations, and make all the
people equal, but he did not tell the
truth. He only wanted 10 be elected
You may Shoot me- or Send me to the
electric chair, but if you send me 10
the chaingang / won't 90 a lick OF
work. / don't propose to work any
where any more"
The Jury was out but few minutes
and returned a verdict OF guilty. Judge
j. S. Wilson, presiding, sentenced the
negro To ten years in the state peni-
tertiary, telling him that the condi-
tions would be reported TO the author
ties at Columbia, and if it was found
that he is crazy he will be sent to the
asylum. As the negro was taken back
to Jail he said: The next time yoa
hear Of me, | won't be crazy
The trial was a most unusual one.
The negro WAS defiant id was appar-
emily seeking 10 cause trouble. He
may be crazy, but physicians believe
h2 is pretending.

RELIEF FOR MINISTERS
Senator Dial Would Help Those Who
Pay Parsonage Taxation.

Senator Dial has proposed an
amendment to the tax bill, which, if
accepted, will relieve ministers of the
Gos;Sl hereafter from having tc pay
an income tx on the pa'&onagcs
which they now occupy.
At the present time, the rent value
of 4 parsonage is counted as Il part of
the minister's salary and he must re-
turn this rental value wheE he makes
his income tax returns. For instance,
if a parsonage is worth forty or fifty
dollars a month, he must pay on this
rental value.
This matter was presented to SCna-
tor Dial recently and at once he saw
tie inius ice of the present law. He
took il up with Commissioner Blair,
who informed him that nothing could
be dorc. inasmuch as the law now re-
Quircs that the rental value of the
parsonage I've counted in.
Senator Dial then conferred with
Senator pcnroSe Of Pennsylvania
chairman of the finance committee Of
the senate. but decided TO offer ar
amendment himself. lie said he con-
sdcrcd the law unjust and unfair ana
that in many cases the ministers sal
aries were 50 small that this extra
