THURSDAY, JANUARY 1s. 1922

The mass meeting advertised to
take place here Tuesday night for the
purpose of reaching . definite con-
clusion on the part of the citizens
with reference to lighting the town
Of Kingstree and furnishing electric
current proved to be just what was
expected-a farce. A number of citi-
zens gathered at the court house in
the face of inclement weather and
muddy streets, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of deciding upon what steps are
to be taken by the town when the
Electric Light and Ice company puts
into effect its ultimatum to discon-
tinue its service, an ultimatum which
was promulgated prior to the first
of January to become effective on that
date. For some reason or another
the current was not discontinued on
January l, and it is understood that
a second notice was served on the
town council 10 the effect that the
lights would be discontinued at a
later date unless some satisfactory
arrangement was made with the
Electrict Light & Ice Co., in the mean
time for lighting the town. 1t is
further understood that the town au-
thorities absolutely refused to grant
an increase in pay, in which event
the taking over of the plant by the
town has been freely discussed by
citizens, and the object of the mass
meeting Tuesday night was to reach
some conclusion in this direction.
At the suggestion of the company
the town has one to the trouble and
perhaps some expense in employing
an expert electrician to come here
and look over the plant of the Kings
tree Electric Lighting and Ice COM
pany with q view to fixing an actual
or reasonable value upon the property
that might they be governed thereby
in formulating a proposition of pur-
chase to the directors of the company,
but at the meeting Tuesday night the
matter was not discussed, in fact it
was not presented to the meeting,
and after a few minutes Of talk some
one made motion to adjourn and
thus another farce was enacted as
regards the furnishing of the town
OF Kingstree with electrical service.
We hear it offered as an excuse for
the utter inaction at the meeting, that
"the Electric Light company did not
have representative present" AS
a matter of fact as we'll as business,
the company didn't need representa-
tive there. II had sent out its in
tentions and it was solely up to our
citizens or representatives to act.

Buck Mitchum Dead.

When Cornelius Mitchum, head OF
one of the pioneer families of VIII
liamsburg county, made his will, many
years ago, he provided for three ne
groes who had been his slaves. He
directed that if these three negroes
continued to give the same faithful
service to their Mistress that they
had given to him each of them should
receive fifty acres. of land from, the
large family estate. The heirs of
Cornelius Mitchum carried out the
will. The Land was decided to the
three former slaves. Last week Isaac
Mitchum, descendant of one Of the
three negroes, was buried at Bethel
church on the Kingstree-G Georgetown
road. The funeral was attended by
hundreds of colored people. At the
head of the grave stood a group OF
white men from some Of the best
known and most respected families
of Williamsburg. They stood with
uncovered heads while the burial serv-
ice was read.
Cornelius Mitchum's will and the
presence of these white men at a
negro's grave were several genera
tions apart in point of time. They
afford a view of the race question
widely different from that which most
frequently finds its way into print.
The first of the Mitchums in this
country, of the sturdy Scotch-1rish
blood, was called to his door one dark
night by a party OF intruders who de-
manded to know if he was for king
or country. 1t was in the days of the
war cloud between England and
America. The pioneer Mitchum could
not tell whether his questioners were
patriots or tories. His wife pressed
his foot to warn him to be careful
how he answered. But Mitchum re-
piled:
"Sweet Jesus! 1 will not die with
a lie on my lips. l am for my coun-
try"
Like spirit prompted Cornelius
Mitchum, as his end approached, to
do the unusual act of giving a farm
to each of the three who had served
faithfully as slaves. The negro who
was buried last Wednesday was de-
scended from one of the three Mitch
um slaves. He died on one Of the
farms given by Cornelius Mitchum's
will. Born in freedom this negro,
Isaac Mitchum, lived his sixty years
an example Of the best relations be-
tween the white and black races.
He held to the belief that antaganism
between the races was bad for the
negro. And he not only talked but
lived this belief. He was steadfast
when some of the misguided of his
own people threatened him. So long
as he voted he cast his ballot as the
best white men did. "Buck" Mitchum
was the name he went by commonly,
In the talk at the grave the negro
preacher paid this tribute to him:
"He worked six days in the week
He was always loyal to the white
people. He was loyal to his own
people. He was respected by the
white people. / say to ell of you
Brother Mitchum led 2 life which
should be an example for u.s."
In his early life "Buck" was q

FOOTBALL GAMES
BREAKS RECORDS
Problem Of Seating Specta-
tors Is a Serious One;
Expect Many People viii
Be Turned Away.

Chicago, oct. 24,-by the As
sociated Pross) Football in the
midwest is rapidly assuming the
proportions OF an industry very
successful industry at that-ahu
causing officials OF the western
conferences to scratch their heaos
in perplexity over the problem OF
seating between 100000 ana
5000, 900 people this season III
bleachers designed in the days
when football was Just another
niece of college foolishness."
Between 1905 900 and 100000
spcctators will get the thrill OF
big Ten games this season ana
Judging from experiences IN former
years, conference officials beneve
that from one-third to one-hah
that many will be turned away be-
cause Of the lack of accommoda-
lions.
Receipts from games in the con-
ference this season Will total IN
ali probability more than $1,000
600, officials said today. That
much more will be expended in
building more seats to increase
the attendance.
At Ohio State university, where
Il new $l,4O0,000 stadium seating
$4,000 persons was dedicated last
Saturday, 10000 persons damned
their way into the enclosure and
thousands We're turned away. The
demand for tickets to the big in
tersectional clash between Chicago
and Princeton here next Saturday
was so brisk that all of the seats
were sold nearly three weeks be-
fore the game and thousands of
applications were returned to the
tnlucky. Stagg field has a seat
ing capacity of only $1,000 even
with the erection of temporary
bleachers, but more than 100000
applications, each calling for two
or more seats, were received.
Extraordinary crowds have
turned out at all Of the confer
cnce games thus far this season.
The Iowa-Illinois game at Urbana
last Saturday, drew capacity-2S,-
GOO, while the Wisconsin-Indiana
game at Madison drew another
capacity crowd-26, 5000.
The demand has entailed such a
tremendous amount of clerical
work at some universities that
these institutions are actually adj
vertising to keep people away
from games.

Fire loss represents total

In addition fire takes an

Time and time again con-
