treat men and treat horses; how If a

TRAGEDY ON ROAD
COSTS TWO LIVES
CAR RUNS INTO NEGRO CARRY
ING STEEL DRILL.
Man in Car Killed
Negro Run Down and Also Dies OF
Injuries-Accident Near
Newberry.

Newberry, April 28.-John A.
Payne, white, and John Glider, a ne
gro, we're killed at Gum Spring, three
miles northwest of Newberry, on the
Piedmont highway in an automobile
accident this afternoon. Mr.. Payne
was formerly of Whitmire, but for the
past two years lived in Greenwood.
He was 26 years old and was recent
married to Miss Johnson of Lanford
Station, Laurens county. He and his
brother-in-law, H. NJ. Cashion, Of
Greenwood, were in a Ford coupe on
their way toward. Greenwood from a
baseball game at Newberry At Gum
Springs the Newell Construction
company had just knocked off work
for the day. Glider, a negro laborer,
was coming toward Newberry with a
steel drill rod about ten feet long
on his shoulder. Getting out Of the
way of truck, he stepped right in
front of the coupe. The rod went end
wise through the coupe's windshield
and pierced Mr.. Payne's eye and en-
tered his brain, killing him instantly
The coupe ran against the negro and
knocked him down and the injuries
he received from the car and from
the rod he was carrying caused his
death an hour or so later. The ne
gro was As years old.
Mr. Cashion, whose wife is Mr..
Payne's sister, was not seriously in
jured, but was badly shaken up and
the shock to his nerves rendered him
unable to testify this evening. The
inquest was postponed until morning.
The families of Messrs. Payne and
Cashion were notified Of the tragedy
and their wives and some Greenwood
friends came to Newberry tonight
Mr.. Pavne's body, by direction of
Sheriff Blease. a.ter being viewed by
the coroner's jury, was Immediately
carried to an undertaking establish
ment and cared for. The time Of the
funeral has not been fixed.

man.
An interesting phase, unthought
of before this election, was the fact
that the candidate for mayor and SIX
candidates for aldermen receiving the
highest number of votes are elected.
1t was the general idea up to a few
davs ago that a second election would
be held if no candidate received a
majority of the votes cast, but this
is not true of general elections in
towns of less than 5000 population.
A large number of citizens congre-
gated about the polls throughout the
day, and this number was greatly
AUGMENTED when the counting of the
ballots was started. There being
eight names on each ballot to be call
ed, the counting was not concluded
until late in the afternoon Tuesday.
LaVerne Thomas, elected mayor in
Tuesdays election, is a native OF
Florence. Before coming to Bamberg
in 1914 he was connected with the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph company. He is the proprie-
tor of the store of LaVerne Thomas
& Co.. LaVictoire Theatre and Thom-
as Service Station, and is one Of the
city's young progressive business
men.
Mr.. Thomas wishes to express his
thanks to the people of the city for
the confidence expressed in him in
Tuesdays election, and wishes to give
the citizens Of the town the assur-
ance that his best efforts will be
given to Bamberg during the next
two years. He begs for the coopera-
ton of all the people, and says that
all differences, which are usually a
part of hotly contested campaigns,
so far as he is concerned are things
of the past. It will be his endeavor
to give Bamberg an economical ad-
ministration. He says that he feels
that the stringency of the times de-
mand economy in all departments,
and he would like to see reduction
of taxes in the near future.

FORCES OF ARMY
MAY BE REDUCED
AMENDMENT FORGET. AT HOUSE
SESSION.
But May Be Reversed
Action Taken in Committee OF Whoie
and Another Vote May
Follow.
But May Be Reversed

Washington, April 30.-Holding a
solid front against Republican split,
Democrats forced through the house
today an amendment to the army ap-
preparation bill cutting down the en-
listed force to $50 900 men. The Kahn
proposal for a bigger force never got
to vote.
The bill as approved by Secretary
Weeks made provision for l6S,ooo
men. or 10000 more than the number
fixed by the measure passed last ses-
sion and vetoed.
There was no certainty, however,
that the 100000 figure would stano'
as the vote today was in committee
Of the whole and the house may de-
mand a. separate vote on the amend
ments in passing the bill next week.
The amendment for reduction OF
the enlisted strength to 15O,OO0, the
lowest figure suggested in the long
debate, was offered by Representative
Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina.
Only two Democrats opposed 1t and
many Republicans gave it their sup
port. The vote was 100 to 81.
The house previously had adopted
as 2 substitute for the Kahn pro-
posal an amendment by Representa-
tive Fish, Republican, New York, for
an army of 10000, but the Byrnes
amendment went through and wiped
it out.
Representative Mondell, the Re-
publican leader, in closing debate,
urged Republicans to stand by the
bill as framed by the appropriations
committee with it's enlisted total of
16S.OO0, but many members of the
party deserted him as the march was
started down the aisle for an actual
count.
chairman hduu VI Iue ul11loly al
fairs committee pleaded for at least
$4,000 men, declaring the times too
troublous for wholesale slashing OF
forces. Representative Wood, Re-
publican, Indiana, taking issue with
the Californian, insisted that if the
world was on the verge of a fire a
few thousand extra men could not put
it out.
