Because of rough weather the
meeting recently called bv Mayor
Nelson to consider the organization
of a fire company for
Pageland was attended by only
a few, and no steps were taken.
He has called another to meet at
the hardware store tomorrow
(Thursday) night. It is requested
that just as many as possible
of the able-bodied male citizens
attend. The town has a hundred
or more buckets suitable
for use in carrying water to fight
fire, and a few ladders and other
nPPfipH tnrilc <-lf
iwia U1 impiClllUUlS
could easily be secured. By
having an organized and practiced
force of fighters and the
buckets and ladders in a convenient
place the town should
be able to extinguish many fires
before much headway is gained.
It might also bring about a reduction
in insurance rates, a
thing few of us would oppose.
At any rate the matter is worth
your consideration, and it is your
duty, perhaps, to attend this
meeting.
Sylvester Stack, a negro about
21 years old was killed Saturday
night about 8 o'clock at the
forks of the road above the
Robinson place about a mile
over in Lancaster county by a
shot from a shot gun which took
effect in the right hip and penetrated
the abdomen. The shot
was tired at close range, and an
ugly wound was made. The
negro died about 12 o'clock Saturday
night. Stack was on his
way to a negro band playing at
Howard Funderburk's, a negro
who lives across the creek in
this county. He was accompanied
by three or four other
negroes. It is claimed that the
man who fired the shot was hiding
behind a tree. An inquest
was held Sunday, and two negroes,
Walter and Wriston
White were arrested and jailed,
charged with the crime, Walter
White's gun was found to have
been lately discharged, and the
snot in some of his shells were
exactly the size of the shot found
in the dead negro's body. White
claimed to have shot a squirrel
with the gun, but when carried
to the exact spot he had indicated
no signs could be found that
he had been there. Stack lived
with Mr. George McManus.

NOTED CASE NOW BEING
TRIED
Two Days Spent on WallaceWest
Arant Case?
Just a Start.
Court for the trial of criminal
cases convened at Chesterfield
Monday, and the consideration
of the case against the Wests
Wallaces and Arants was begun
first. A good part of the daj
was consumed by the lawyers in
an attempt to agree as to how
tne case should be tried. The
final agreement seems to have
been that they would first try to
find who killed J. D. Wallace;
next who killed J. W. Arant;and
finally how many were guilty of
the charge of riot.
Mr. C. I. Funderburk was the
first witness put on the stand,
and he was followed by W. J. 13.
Funderburk. Nothing new was
established by these witnesses.
Court adjourned about 6 o'clock
to convene again Tuesday.
Four other witnesses lor the
State, J. W. Qmck, J. T. Grant,
H. A. Nicholson and B. C. Moore,
were examined Tuesday; also
ten other witnesses nnH
is not yet.
It is impossible to say when
the trial will end or what will be
proven. A lawyer was heard to
remark Tuesday afternoon that
the evidence was of such nature
that a reasonable doubt might be
left in the minds of the jurors as
to whether any shooting at all
was done or not.
A whole army of witnesses
are in attendance, and the court
room is packed each day with
spectators. No case in recent
years has attracted so much attention.
M. J. Hough is assisting Solic
itor Spears. Laney, Miller and
Brown are for the Arant side.
Pollock & Pegues, Stevenson &
Prince are for the Wests and
Wallaces.
The jurois were all selected
from other sections of the county,
all those from this section being
rejected.
"Won't you be very, very happy
when your sentence is over?"
cheerfully asked a woman of a
convict in prison.
"I dunnn. I 'l?nnn"
gloomily answered the man.
"Yon don't know?" saked the
woman, amazed. "Why no!?"
Tip in for life,"
