William F. 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.

Let Prohibitionists Investigate.
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.
Interesting Items of County News.
