Chester ReDorter, March 20: James
Johnson, a colored lad, was run over
by one of the Chester Coca Cola Co.'s
big trucks on Pinckney street Saturday
afternoon, and very badly, though
not fatally hurt. Mr. Miller had
slowed up the truck, and was pulling
up to the curb to let the boy on, when
the latter made a flying leap for the
running board, and when his hold
missed was thrown under the machine,
n
and run over. He was Immediately
rushed to the Pryor Hospital, where
his injuries were attended to. The pelvis
was cracked, aud one hand Injured.
How Johnson was not crushed to death
is nothing short of miraculous as the
truck weighs seven thousand pounds.
_A large concourse of friends and
acquaintances were at Capers Chapel
Friday afternoon for the funeral of
Mr. Mark Ferguson, who died the preceding
evening after about a week's
illness from sleeping sickness, following
as an aftermath of flu. Revs. R. C.
Bbulwgre, Henry Stokes, and J. B.
Traywtck were the officiating ministers;
and the interment was with Ma
sonic honors. Mr. rerjg'uson wu? a ??..

twenty-eighth year. He was a member
of Capers Chapel M. E. church,
and was a Mason and a W. O. W. The
deceased was a young man of most
affable address, and his death was a
profound shock to family and friends.
Mr. Ferguson Is survived by his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ferguson;
three sisters, Mesdames Robert W.
Hardin and Ernest Hardin and Miss
Colle Ferguson; and a brother, Mr.
W. Haskell Ferguson ....Chester
County starts soon on a new venture?
the creamery?which It Is hoped will
prove a great help to our people In
this time of stress and struggle, and
lead them out into a condition of ease
and prosperity. Like any other new
undertaking, the creamery will not
find entirely smooth sailing; but with
the start that this county made years
ago in the direction of fine dairy cattle,
it should not be so difficult to
launch this industry as would be the
case, were so many of the county's
farms not already stocked with dairy
"Cttrtte. Barring the difficulties, which
any new enterprise encounters, and
jirbich no doubt occur in the launching
and operation of a creamery just the
same as In the case of any other kind
qf business, we see no reason why the
project should not be a great success;
. and it will, if it receives the hearty
backing and support of the public at

wagon and the train hit the wagon as
it crossed the rails near Childs, just
beyond Kingville. Squlremack was
taken to Columbia and died in the
Good Samaritan hospital at 10 o'clock
Friday night. He was 60 years of age.
The inquest was held at 7 o'clock
Saturday evening. M. H. Dunlap was
engineer on the train; J. C. Pas3ilaiguc
was conductor; (J. B. Pittman was
fireman Charles H. Sanders, well
known citizen of the Lancaster cotton
mills community, died last night
from an attack of influenza and pneumonia.
Mr. Sanders was about 50
years of age. His remains were taken
to Chesterfield county, his old home,
this morning and interment will be in

Mrs. Mattie H. Tillman, widow of the

her son, D. L. Tillman, of Cheraw, and

L
a severe Illness last year while on a
visit to her .son, Frank Tillman, in
Texas, and never fully recovered her
strength. About ten days before her
death she had a stroke of paralysis
which proved fatal. She, with her
husband, moved to Cheraw from Lancaster
about 13 years ago, .and by her
Christian character had made many
friends in Cheraw. She is survived by
one daughter and three sons, Mrs. R.

of pneumonia. She was about
44 years old. The body was taken to
Union county, N. C., and buried in the
Beulah church cemetery Sunday. The
deceased is survived by a husband and
several children The Lancaster
county grand Jury has gone on record [
as opposing the imposing of a chaingang
sentence and fine on convicted
bootleggers and blockaders and then
suspending the chaingang sentence and
giving until the next court for the
payment of the fine. The grand jury
says this practice gives the law violator
the opportunity to go on with his
bootlegging and make sufficient money
thereby in the Interim to pay the fine.
It is quite unnecessary to say that the
majority of law-abiding citizens of the
county will agree with the grand jury.
A fine in the case of a bootlegger is
treated merely as a license, is paid and
then the bootlegger goes ahead with his
bootlegging. unaingang ecmcuvu .?
quite different. Judges have been criticising
tho juries and Juries the judges
in connection with the crime wave, and
while wc are not attempting to place
the blame, severe sentences will have a
tendency to break It up. These "consent"
'verdicts, without trial, and an
agreement that the accused will plead
guilty on the understanding that the
sentence of the court will be a suspended
sentence cause many to lose respect
for the courts and the law and tend to
increase lawlessness. Certainly no one
will ever think that such procedure will
ever break up lawlessness.
Cleveland Star (Shelby), March 21:
A marriage which came as quite a surprise
Jo her host of friends here was
that of Miss Annie Lee Ferree of Laurinburg,
but who was here on a visit
to her cousin, Mr. E. L. Henncssa, and
winiom Worv? Radon. Jr.. of Wil
mington, which happy event took place
at the Hennessa home on West Marion
street last Saturday afternoon, March
18th, at 5 o'clock ?...Instead of paving
the wide streets of Shelby with two
hard surfaced strips 18 feet wide on
each side, the board of aldermen in a
called meeting a few days ago, decided
to abandon that idea and put down one
36 foot street in the center. This
change was brought about by decision
that 18 foot streets would be too narrow
for cars going in the same direction
to pass each other and that cars
stopped on the 18 foot Streets would
have to move a block or more in many
instances in order to obey the keep-tothe
right law. The single 36 foot
street will be some economy in view,
of the fact that it will save the cost of
one header or curb. The mayor and
aldermen have definitely decided to
build a 36'foot street on N. LaFayette,
where the first work will be done and
if the property owners seem to like
this plan, the same type of single street
will be followed throughout town.
However, if property owners on the
other wide street prefer the double
street, the plan can be changed
The Asheville Construction company
which is opening up the Flat Rock
quarry is placing supports under the
first small steel bridge just out of
town on the King's Mountain road to
insure the safe delivery of a heavy
rock crusher. The rock crusher will
arrive soon and is said to weigh twelve
and one-half tons The many friends
in this county of Mr. William Gaston
will regret to learn of his death which
occurred at his home just over the
state line in Cherokee county Monday
morning early. Mr. Gaston was about
80 years of age and one of the most
influential citizens of his community.
He will bo buried today at 11 o'clock
at Old Buffalo church, the funeral services
being conducted by his former
pastor, Rev. A. C. Irvin. Mr. Gaston
is survived by three children: Dave,
Dora and Mangum Two of the
saddest and most singular deaths
which have occurred in this county in
some time are those of Mr. Albert 1.
Borders of Earl, one of the county's
oldest and most esteemed citizens and
his daughter, Mrs. Sallie Turner of the
Patterson Springs section almost within
the same day and from the same
dreaded malady, cancer of the face.
Both had been invalids for a number
of years and death came as a great release
from their sufferings which they
bore with sweet Christian fortitude,
and as the evening of their lives drew
nigh they both expressed themselves
as willing and ready for a closer walk
with God. Mrs. Turner aged 07 years
was the first to hear the call, passing
away at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon at
her home near Patterson springs?nor
father dying the following morning at
5:30 o'clock at his eld home near Earl.
Easy to Be Calm.?The patient in
the private ward of a hospital was a
testy old millionaire wnose case at
first gave the physician considerable
difficulty.
"Well," said the crusty one after he
had been there several weeks, "how do
you find me this morning?"
"You're getting on well," replied the
physician, rubbing his hands in satisfaction.
"Your legs are still swollen,
but that doesn't bother me."
"Of course it doesn't," snarled the
eld man. "Your legs could swell till
they blew up and it wouldn't bother
me."
? Apparently there is a some law forbidding
display windows to show a

Position Had Much to Do With its

Renewed discussion by the neighbors
of the United States to the north of
the desirability of Newfoundland's becoming
a part of the Dominion of
Canada raises a point upon which
probably many Americans are hazy?
that there are two distinct British
realms, not one, in the portion of North j
America above the Canadian border. 1
Newfoundland and its relations to i
Canada are brought out in the following
bulletin from the Washington, D.
C., headquarters of the Nutional Geographic
Society:
"Sentiment plays its part in history
and historic geography," says the bqlletin,
"and the fact that Newfoundland
has insisted on standing alone while all
the other British possessions of North
America have united to form the Dominion
of Canada is probably due to
the pride that Newfoundlanders have
always had in being able to boast that
theirs is 'the senior British colopy'?
the first of thp children of the motherland
to make its home beyond the seas.

the closest part of North America to
the British Isles, being only 1540 miles
from Ireland. It is natural that the
first trans-Atlantic cable should have
been laid to the shores of Newfoundland
In 1858 and that out of 17 cables
now crossing ihe north Atlantic 11 first
touch American soil cither on Newfoundland
or Its neighboring Islets. And
when in 1919 aeroplanes finally conquered
the Atlantic It was from New
foundland that both the American and
the British machines took off.
"Newfoundland has an area of more
than 42,000 square miles, and is therefore
practically half the size of Great
Britain. Excepting only Cuba, which
barely exceeds it in size, it is the
largest island of the Western Hemisphere
outside polar waters. With its
cliffs of brown stone rising 200 to 300
feet, broken here and there by deep
fjords and bays, Newfoundland has a
bjeak and barren appearance which
belies conditions in many parts of the
rolling, timbered interior. Along a
number of the streams are fertile valleys
in which agriculturo and stockraising
flourish.
The Story is One Word: Fish.
"In late years mining, stock-raising,
the manufacture of wood-pulp and
news print paper, and a number of
other industries have been developed in
Newfoundland, hnt throughout its more !
than 400 years of history the central
story of the island might be told In one
word: fish. Boston and Massachusetts
have felt deeply indebted to their
'sacrpd cod,' but ^fter all that important
creature came from the Newfoundland
bank; and however valuable it
has been to New England, It has meant
much more to Newfoundland and
through Newfoundland to Great Britain.
"A good case could even be made for
the cod as a claimant for a place on
the British coat-of-arms; for that lowly
fish In a way laid the foundation of
the world-wide British empire. Before
the discovery of Newfoundland Britishers
were of little importance as seafarers.
