Statement by McLeod
Thomas G. McLead issued from his
headquarters in Columbia last ivght
*\t 11 o'clock a statement as follows
:
"My first impression :'s a feeling
- i '
of profound gratitude to trie men ana
women of South Carolina for their
zealous and unselfish support during
the campaign.
"To the people of South Carolina
I dgsire to say that the keen interest
shown in the issues of the campaign
m3ke? the result an indorsement
more of the principles that I advocated
than of myself.
"I shall endeavor as far as within i
me lies to see that the affairs of the
state are ^economically managed. We
are living in times of depression and
the hand of adversitv falls heaviiy
/
upon man. There must therefore be
a fair and just distribution of taxation.
We must not take a backward
step and a fair and just distribution
of the burden means the maintenance
of efficiency.
"South Carolina has no foreign element,
ouk white citizenship are all
one people, with the same traditions,
hopes 2nd aspirations; and I sincerely
trust that there will be no lines
of division, but that together we may
work out the destiny of a vigorous
and valorous commonwealth.
"I realize the great responsibility
that I will assume as governor and
I most earnestly beg the cooperation
of all citizens, their sympathy an 1
their prayers, in my efforts to administer
impartially the affairs of
this state. In the campaign 1 made
no personal attack upon any one. I
am leaving it, as I entered it, without
malice. I have no bitterness and
covet the good will and sympathy of
every one. It is my purpose to work
out our problems for the best goo j of
all. I will be the governor of all the
people."

THE NEWS OF WHITMIRE,
TOWN THAT DOES THINGS
The Newberry Boosters Trip Was
Greatly Enjoyed, Especially the
Impromptu Speeches
Whitmire, Sept. 10.?Well, the
Newberry boosters "came and saw
and conquered.'' It was lovely weather
and the meeting was held in our
beautiful and shady park. Everybody
fell in love with everybody else?a
regular howdy-do, glory halielujah
time. It was "How are you-uns?*'
And "We-uns are as well as common.
thank you." As much handshaking
as could have been pulled oft by 3
day politicians. We had some fine
speeches, too. First, Mr. Sherard.
general manager and vice president
ot our mill, made an address of welcome
to those who made us a visit
and not a visitation. Then Came one
whose name ought to be Sunshine,
brt whose cognomen is Zach Wright.
He said ic was '"so sudden" he had
no idea of being called on for a
speech, etc., but Mr. Sherard says he
saw Zach's impromptu speech in his
pocket. Mr. Wright gave us just a
hint as to the good time he recently
had away from home?saw ballet
girls, etc. Zuch is a Methodist and
naturally believes in failing: from
grace, and had the boldness to accuse
Ms. Sherr.rd of believing in his
philosophy. But he missed the mark.
Mr. Sherard is a devout Baptist and
believes if you once get right and are
put plumb under water you are all
right, no falling in it. The difference
between Zach and "Mr. Sherard
is that the latter is the same abroad
as at home. Mr. Eskridge was a little
low spirited because, no doubt,

up, thus affecting hardware. His favorite
song, Mr. Epting says, is, "I
Love to Steel a While Away. ' Dr.
i>errick overdid the thing--=thej'miik
of human kindness" overflowed just
everywere. He invited ail of us to
come down and stay a whole week
and we were geting ready to go when
Prof. Wilson told us the doctor was
not keeping house, and if we went
we'd find him staying with his students,
the old fashion way, a week at
a time. He paid Prof. Will a nice
! compliment as to being such a fine
; teacher and Alpheus Watson was
S mean enough to ask Wilson what he
paid for that compliment. It may
be a bunrn of Whitmire laymen will
i
| come down in a few days to your
! Methodist meeting. When we find out
for certain that any of the Xewberry
speakers have what they said so
on.mt n nil tHp niltsiHp of
; the door, we'll be down.
! Rev. A. J. Simpson has gone to see
his mother who lives in Alabama,
consequently we went to the Baptist
church today and heard ar. able
sermon by Rev. K. D. Smith. Among
other things he said the ballot was
! sacred and should mean something.
This is true and should be printed on
| every doorstep. There is more money
being used here in the next primary
than ever before.

I The week of September 17-24 has
! been designated as 'TTczistitution
! Week*' which will be celebrated in
! the 825 Kiwsnis cluc? in the United

i The Constitution of the United

ment which for the first time in his!
torv recognizes certain Unalienable
. v-iAtc nf t'ln in^ivifhr-,1 neainst which
' the government must nor trespass.
In this one feature the constitution
merits the approbation and enthusiastic
support of all right thinki
in5: citizens.
! From the dawn of history to the
writing of the federal constitution,
; the struggle on the part of the mass:
es had had for its purposes the recognition
by government ami sover'
eigns of the unalienable r:ghts of the
individual.
The recognition given these rights
by the feder-I constitution wiil be
, th" keynote of the Constitution week
j program which will be celebrated at
the Kiwanis citii meeting at Willcwbrook
park at 1 p. m. September 21.
; The club will be entertained at a

JUDGE SMITH TALKS GOOD j
I STUFF ON CITIZENSHIP J
i i
' . . . !
; Taking as his subject, "Good Citi-.
: zenship in Anderson/' Judge Mendel ,
j L. Smith, presiding in general sessions
court here, spoke to a large
' congregation last nignt at the First ^
: Baptist church, and during the niorni
in<r Sunday ichoul hour spoke lo the
I Baraca class of that church, which
. was attended bv members of the Ma- !
trons'. class as well a< by large num
bers of Baracas. Judge Smith made .
;a profound impression upon his hearers.
Judge Smith was formerly a circuit }
i judge in South Carolina, our. during ^
; the World war he resigned his judgeI
ship and was commissioned a major
i in the department of the Juuge Advo- ,
i c-ate general of the United States
! ? (
army. Although he has presided in
court here but a week, it is generally
! conceded that the effect of the ,
court's work in that, time has been
marked, and will probably go a long ^
way toward remedying the condition
of lawlessness in this countv.
! I
, In speaking before the Baraca
class yesterday morning at the First j
.Baptist church, Judge Smith brought
a forceful message to almost 200 of
the. leading citizens of this city, when j
he defined the greatest need of the
, world today as "genuine religion in
the lives and hearts of men and wo- j
men." God in the community, in the ,
everyday life of the average citizen,
in business, ail of these, he declared ,
will go a long way toward restoring
peace and prosperity. !
Judge Smith referred eloquently to .
the devotion to the Word of God of
. -l! '
our forefathers, tne use vestiges ui ^
which have almost lapsed into obscu- .
1 rity, and stated that it is a need of
such religion today that the world is
bogged in the quagmire of lawlessr,ess
jjn4. eccnomic troubIes.
"World evangelization/' he declared,
"is the duty of the United States '
today." Judge Smith then asserted '
that the world is no nearer peace today,
what with the inherited enmity .
and the animosity existing in many '
European countries. "The duty of
the church is to teach the cardinal '
principles of religion. In it lies the
only hope." i
; As inxcusable as it is, and as humiliating
as it has been in the past,
he. declared in substance, "there is no
# \
place where religion is more needed ^
than in some of our churches. There
is no place where its absence is more .
felt: nor its effectiveness more tellmg.
f
; Judge Smith then related an ;nci-'
dent wherein an individual was sue- j
ir.g a railroad for the death of a'j
kinsman. An old negro was on the 1
J ?/?-j Vi/v his'
stand ana tesunea mat ^
lantern at the coming- automobile, in 1
which the victim was riding, and he i
had not heeded him. Under a gruel- 1
ling cross-examination the old ne
grc's story was unshaken, and de-:.
fense counsel after the trial had.
been concluded in favos of the rail--,
road, questioned the old negro, after
giving him $10 for his services. j.
' "Weren't ymi afraid," asked the',
lawyer of the old darky. ,!
"Yasrah, I's 'fraid somebudv was ;
goiiv xo ask me if dat lantern was!/
lit."
i ""The churches are waving religi-.!'
ous lanterns each day," declared
Judge Smith, "but when they take;
their place boside the tracks of po- <
* 1 i?? ^+ fl .J ty nil- !
litical anu mauscnai i.- \ i.s u; .... ,
coming- humanity, they fail because
they arc waving a dark lantern; in
it is not the real flash of true re.
lisrion."
Judpr? Smith profoundly imDres*ed
. hi.; hearers with his masterly discourse.
and Pcriodic?.;Iy mide eloquent
references to the Bible and
passage* therein bearing: upon the
condition of the wcriu today.

Sallie McAllister Alien, were shot
ind instantly killed this morning by
Walter Allen, husband of the daugh:er,
at Orr miil. After bhooting tile
;wo women, mother-in-law and wife,
Vilen turned the revolver on himself
ind. fired a shot into his own body,
lying this afternoon from his selfnflicted
wounds. The two women
were shot a-, they sat at the breakfast
tible in the home of Mrs. McAllister,
mother of the wife of Allen.
Waiter Allen came here from
Greenville last night, leaving there
at midnight, and being driven here
jy G. 0. Scruggs, a taxi driver, who
stated that they arrived here about
3:30 or 6 o'clock. Allen went directly
to the house of Mrs. McAllister,
and as he walked into the room he
asked his wife where the gun was
lidden, upon being told that she did
not know, he. pulled out a revolver
and said, "Well, what are you going
to do about it?"
/
He fired first at the mother of his
wife, and then at the wife, both being
fatally wounded, and then turned
the gun on himself. He died at a
.... ,
little after 12 o'clock, physicians Doing:
surprised that he lived this long
as the bullet went straight through
from temple to temple.
From accounts, it seems that Mrs.
Allen" had ctfftve home to- he-r-Jiiuther
for protection from her husband as
he is alleged to have abused apd ill
treated her. She had been home
about five weeks. The brother of
Mrs. Allen, James McAllister, stated
that Allen had always "treated my
sister mean," but that this was the
first time that she had left him.
Mrs. James?I?lcAllister was an eye
witness of the killing. She said that
they were seated at the breakfast
table when Allen fired a bullet into
the throat of Mrs. McAllister and
then fired a shot at his wife. Then
he went into an adjoining room, and
Mrs. McAllister said she heard a muffled
shot and found that he had shot
himself. This witness said that Mrs.
Allen had been expecting her husband
to come and try to make her go
back to him, and as she expected
trouble she had sworn out a peace
warrant last Wednesday for her husband,
and that it was now in the
hands of the sheriff. Allen came to
the home last Monday morning and
Mrs. Allen thought best to have this
warrant taken out for him.
The Aliens have been married
about eight years and have a daughter,
who was w;th . her mother but
was not at breakfast this morning.
James McAllister had already gone
to work in the mill. Mrs. Allen had
also been working in the mill since
she came back to her mother's home.
The Aliens lived in Greenville, and
Walter Allen was a mil! operative of
that city. Mrs. McAllister, who was
killed, was a. Miss Loll is of near
Cheddar, and was sixty years of
age. She has for many years

MOLLOHON BAND TO .
GO WITH BOOSTERS
i
ON TRIP TO PROSPERITY AND
LiTTLE MOUNTAIN ^
Promises to Be Big Affair With
Good Speakers on the
Program
announcement nas just oten mauc
public by the retail trade committee
of the Newberry chamber of commerce
that the Mollohon Concert
band will accompany the boosters on
their trip to Prosperity and Little
Mountain Friday afternoon. At a
meeting of the committee held Monday
afternoon a sub-committee was
appointed to see Mr. George W. Summer
and Mr. E. S. Summer with re-,
gard to getting the band. They very
quickly and willingly consented and
arrangements have /oeen made to
have the band assemble on the public
square at 1:30 o'clock Friday for a
thirty minute concert, from which
place they will go to the chamber of
commerce headquarters for another
concert just before the large line up
of automobiles makes the start to
Prosperity and Little Mountain
promptly at 2:30 o'clock.
All indications point to the fact
that the trip to Prosperity and Little
Mountain will draw the largest number
of people and automobiles than
have gone on any other of the trips
fVinao lrmtm t.Vip trin will
have a great time as in addition to
the music there has been arranged a
splendid program. Both Little Mountain
and Prosperity arc preparing to
extend a big welcome to the boosters
and it is anticipated that a very
larse crowd will be in attendance at
both places, so come on, good citizens '
of Newberry, let's show the people
of these good little cities how big
Newberry can "turn out" when she
tries. Let us line up a bunch of automobiles
that will reach all the way
from Newberry to Prosperity.
Good Speakers
The committee is unable to announce
who Prosperity and Little
Mountain will have to do their speaking,
but every one can rest assured
that this will be taken care of as
both places are fortunate in having a
number of orators and statesmen
who are equal to any occasion.
