Downs Electrocuted. Mr. W. F. Downs, the well known machinist at the Tavora cotton mill, was instantly killed at about 9.30 o'clock Thursday morning by accidental c*intact with the 23,000 volts of electric | current that supplies the power i to run the machinery of the mill. 1 says the Yorkville Enquirer of ! Friday. The accident occurred in the ! transformer house at the mill. 1 Something had suddenly pone wrong, with the current, and Mr. ; Downs and Mr. J. T. Ramsaur, the superintendent, had spent i some time looking for the trouble, j After making several tests they ! telephoned the Victor Oil mill, ' only a short distance away on j the same line, and finding every- i thing all right there, could come ! to no other conclusion than that I the trouble was in their own i transformer house. It seems that there are two switches near the point at which the current from the main line enters the transformer. One is an air-brake switch, just outside ; I the transformer house, and the other is an oil switch, just outside the transformer. With the air-brake switch open the cur- i rent is stopped outside the trans- j former house, and before it pets to the oil switch. The oil switch is on the same side of the trans i former and is in the nature of a ! I double precaution for the com| plete control of the current. Mr. : I Downs was a man who thorough-! j ly understood his business. In ' looking for the trouble he had j opened and closed both switches I several times. A probable cause ' of the trouble, was that one of the conducting wires had pulled I loose from its connection without ' showing its disconnection. Where the wires were known to be alive, I their condition would be tested with a piece of wood. In case of certainty that the outside switch was open, an electrician would have no hesitation about testing the wires with his hand. It is believed that Mr. Downs had forgotten the status of the : outside switch, and under the i impression that it was open, ; tefted the wire with his hand. | Mr. W. F. Downs, the victim . of this deplorable tragedy is from Fort Mill. He was about 40 years of age, and has been tne machinist at the Tavora mill ! for several years. He was a j man of fine intelligence, and ex- j j cedent character. He was sober ! | and industrious and understood '< J his business thoroughly. He was | held in high esteem by all who J j knew him. He is survived by | 1 his mother and a sister and leaves ; , two daughters fsonsl The remains of Mr. Downs j 1 were brought to Fort Mill Friday j morning and taken to the home : of B. C. Ferguson, where services were conducted by Rev. 1 I W. A. Hafner. Friday morning at 11 o'clock all that was mortal ! of Mr. Downs was interred in j the city cemetery. A Delightful Entertainment. A most entertaining affair and one beautiful in every single detail was the combination wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. ' J. T. Young and the wedding | reception complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lee. A num- , ber of guests were present, being received by Medarnes. J. T. Young and Frank Lee. Dinner was served in the dining room from 0:30 to 8 p. m. The place cards had a conundrum written on the back of each which each guest was supposed to solve. Another amusing feature of the evening was the selection of partners for dinner, each gentleman representing a State by a card pinned 011 his coat lapel and being required to find his partner among the lady guests, each of whom represented a State capital. The bride's wish book was a very amusing feature also, each guest registering a wish for the bride and the hostess, Mr, and Mrs. Young WISHING^ SOME. Here's wishing you a merry Xmas and more vigorously wishing that you will try some of this Christmas stuff we have got and still wishing that if you don't, you will wish you had.

We agree with the Charles-1 ton News and Courier that ; whether or not the folly of experimenting with State-wide prohibition in South Carolina is to be attempted there is no way of determining, but if it is to be the agitators in favor of it should inform themselves about its success in Georgia, Alabama and neighboring States. A member of the South Carolina Legislature who would introduce such a measure and advocate it has at his door excellent object lessons. Should an opponent of prohibition take the floor in the House or the i Senate and assert that prohibi- j tion does not prohibit in Augusta, Atlanta, Savannah or Birmingham, his remarks would be met with derision by the prohibition- I ists, and possibly the intimation would follow that he was an agent of the whiskey dealers. The prohibitionists cannot escape the duty of learnim^?he truth for themselves. When the General Al^^Wy convenes in January, ajoi^NBu-' mittee of the House and Senme, ; composed of the most conspicuous and able advocates of prohibition and of its opponents should bo flmiftintid unH ranmVo^ to visit Birmingham, Augusta, Knoxville, Atlanta and Savannah and to investigate for themselves whether or not there be a "whiskey traffic" in those communities , from which it has been banished by statute. The committee should be provided with plenty of money and should be accompanied by official chroniclers instructed to report in detail the places visited, by night and by day, in each city and the incidents connected with the pilgrimage. The com- i mittee upon its return, supposing that it would return, would be able to present a volume of interesting information. Should at any time a State prohibition law be enacted in, South Carolina, its sponsors1 should not be allowed to plead ' ignorance of its failure in adjoining States when later it had 1 proved a disgraceful and de-1 moralizing failure in some of our 1 larger communities.
