He armed himself and ?'jr.?iUy Fields left the premises. On the next day Thomas testified V-jhax he went for his mail and stopped "sn the field with J. R. Woodhurst, an?r&he-r tenant. While talking: to Mr. V\\ cmlhurst, Fields came upon them u.^xtitd with a double barrel shot gun. presented it at Thornr5?. who jumned 'oehind Woodhurst. Fields called to Woodhurst to get out of the way uifcat he expected to shoot and kept . advancing. When he was near trough Woodhurst made a dash for liJTn and seized the ffun, telling Tiio' niaj to run, which he did. Fields was a much stronger man than Wood>r.rst and finally secured the gun and ^nred at Thomas three times as he ran ra-sray, when he himself turned and Std. As he turned to run, Thomas, ^?ho had been struck, turned upon iozm and fired six shots. Two of Ahese took effect and one resulted in iiis death.

Gary, Presiding Judge at this fall term of rs-ourt, Abbeville County, September 1915. IVe, the Grand Jury of Abbeville ' ^ounty, S. C., have passed on all bills x>t indictment presented to us by the ^Solicitor and have returned them to Jthe court. We deplore as a body the tv.Trasual number of crimes in the '?roxmty since our last court but we S'rel that all officers have done their duly and performed it to the best of '.their ability. Various members of our body in - .T'DTmittees have investigated the *oort house officers, their books, vouchers, and records, and have ?.ls'.> -/rsited the county farm, the jail the ci'mshouse. and one of the countv chain gr.r.?=.

Wc I ecommend that the kitchen in jail I yard be re-covered at once. i Our committee who visited the I county gang of convicts reported that | affairs there appear to be in good Uhape and the prisoners treated in J satisfactory manner. I Upon complaint a committee comI 1 o r- .T R UU.>CU U1 o. VI W.., ~ Winn and J. P Smith, all of Donalds, S C., was appointed by motion to see [that a certain steam boiler located in town of Donalds and property of estate of A. S. Drake, be inspected and if unsafe as reported condemned at once. A resolution was also passed by our ' body recommending that the magistrate's office in Level Land district of Due West township be abolished, inasmuch as the magistrate now holdj ing office there lives in town of Due j West where there is another magisi trate, and whereas we feel that one j magistrate in this township will be ' j. j , .^UIUCICIIL. ! We also recommend that the*Su-' pervisor of county roads either use {or sell the traction engine bought for [ road work, and that he keep the same under shelter when not in use when , practicable. i Upon report of our committee who 1 ' investigated the court house offices : ,and their books, in conjunction with' an expert accountant sent here by the ! Comptroller General of South Caro- J lina we offer the following recom- J mendations. (1) We recommend that the tax records of this county be kept by the Auditor with reference to each school district rather than with reference to each township as at present, inasmuch, as we feel that this would fa| cilitate the public records. ! (2.) We find that certain claims i have been paid by the Board of Su- j pervisors which were not properly itemized and accompanied with the proper affidavits as required by statute. and we recommend that tney be more careiui in passing on claims ana paying the same which are not ac| cording to statute. (3.) We recommend that the minutes of the Board of Supervisors be ,?igned by a "majority of the Board : rather than by the Clerk as at pres| ent(4.) We recommend that all approval claims be listed in the minutes of the Board of Supervisors, i (5.) We find that the Supervisor i has issued in the past certificates of j credit for temporary use, and wnile j all such certificates are now in and taken care of, we recommend that in tasmuch as this appears to be in dircet conflict with statutes on this matter, that he discontinue such ' practice. In reference to the Treasurer's of See we found everything in good shape and accurate except that some of the records do not appear to be in knough detail but we are glad to report that he has already secured new set of books upon recommendation from Comptroller General and ex 'pects to use them in the future. The ex-magistrates' books we found I to be correct in every instance ex|ecpt that of Mr. J. H. Sanders of McCormick township. From the presentiment of the Grand Jury in fall of 1913 they reported that $26.40 had l.een collected by him and never re ported to Treasurer and we understand from the Treasurer that this amount is still due by him. This matter has been reported severatimes by the Grand Jury and we recommend now that the matter be taken up at once by the Solictor an.' disposed of in some manner.

Ill: LILLIAN RUSSEL IN POWERFUL RACING DRAMA The World Film offers the Beautiful Star, Lillian Russell, in a powerful Racing Drama, "Wildfire" at the Opera House, Friday, Sept. 17. Five thousand feet of the airy fairy Lillian, the incomparable Queen of the Drama, the Venus, tho Niobe, ( the Cleopatra of the stage; the shy, e;usive, insouciant, star of 'em all? well, anyway, just Lillian in movies, There you have the .clou, of the World Film Corporation's 5-part film ,i. mama, yy uuiire . "Wildfire" is a movie thriller all about a racing man named Barrington, who was murdered out West. Deceased had two daughters, one named Henrietta, who knew nothing of pop's horsey tastes. So when the murderer, under an assumed name, went East and armed with "papers" claimed the racing ' otable on Long Island, there was noe body to say him nay. However, the | Western sheriff, Garrison, who had followed him, suspected him; so did { Henrietta, otherwise Lillian Russell. I 0 And this is what Miss Russell did. I 5 She got possession of those papers o and when the murderer tried to have 7 the favorite horse, "Wildfire", pulled - si? that he should not win, sh?\ after * many other heroic deeds, climbed to ' 'the verv too of the flaestaff pnd held 0 up the flag, which was the signal for "Wildfire's" jockey to win, defeat 1 the murderer, unite Miss Russell to the man of her choice, and bring a 3 magnificently exciting Lillian motion q picture to a close. The film-play is Miss Russell first, * lr.st and all the time. It is f> plendid ! picture of her and will assuredly attract millions of movie fans to the y motion picture theatres. ?

Last Sunday's New York Herald carried an exceptionally interesting - story about Greensboro, N. C., and its splendid cotton-mill development c pointing to Greensboro as the one > place in the world which had solved 1 the problem of the relations between ~ capital and labor. The tribute paid j by the Herald to the great work s which the Cones have done at Greens boro in their cotton-mill operation5? ' ^ and the betterment of labor condi; tions was well merited. Their work 3 deserves all that the Herald said I about it, and yet there are many other places in the South where simii lar work being done. No industry in the world's history 1 probably was ever so misrepresented jand lied about as the cotton-mill busi| ness of the South. Dozens of cotton , mills in the South are doing exactly i the same work that is being done at t rJrppnQhnrA nnH +Vi c? Monnfopfiirflro 1 Record would like to suggest to the 1 Herald that it could not do a greater , piece of constructive work for the ; good of the country at large as well . as for the good of the South than to t tell in full details the story of the 5 many other mills throughout the South which are doing work similar to that of the Cones at Greensboro. It is true that not all cotton mills . in the South have measured up to l the situation, but it may be said tha* 1 the cotton-mill industry of the South in proportion to the money invested and the people employed, has ex Fir;mpiP?PiiiwrrHPiriwi u uuuuuuUUUUULJ W FALL LS WE ARE SHOWN >S.
