The funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon and the burial was made in the town cemetery. . The Fort Mill Light Infantry left Monday morning for Anniston, Ala., where, with the other companies of the First regiment, it is now taking part in the biennial ten-day encampment. The company will return to Fort Mill about the 25th instant. An interesting souvenir which W. R. Bradford has at his home in Fort Mill is a silver water pitcher which he bought at an auction sale at the capitol in Washington some time ago. The pitcher was represented as having been formerly used in the room of Vice President John C. Calhoun. It is of classic design, about thirteen inches in height, and has a capacity of two quarts. Farmers from different sections of the township sta ed while in town Saturday that the crops were suffering for lack of work. Up in the Steele Creek neighborhood# the farmers have been able to work but little for several weeks on account of the excessive rainfall and it was stated that a great deal of bottom-land corn would have to be abandoned. The addition to the Lancaster Cotton mills, Col. Leroy Springs' property at Lancaster, will be built over a small creek. The waters of the stream will be carried off by a culvert underneath the mill 1,500 feet in length, which to construct will cost over $23,000. The building will be one of the largest in this section, having a length of more than 000 feet and a width of approximately 230 feet. Charlotte Observer. During the last week W.L. Hall awarded the contract for the erection of a handsome storeroom at the corner of Main and Clebourn streets and the work of grading for the foundation is under way. The building will be 35 feet wide with a depth of 70 feet. The front will be of octagon shape with large plate glass doors and windows and the building will add much to the appearance of the business section of upper Main street It is understood that the new building will be occupied by the Harris Furniture company. The business section of Fort Mill now has an abundant supply of pure water. During the last week a list was circulated among the business men and something like $t>0 was subscribed to K4.I1. no\r tK.. uvnsnu nf tfinkintr a w?*ll 1 h' e-.' -"r--. - o - at Confederate Park. The city council was appealed to and readily agreed to pay the remaining cost of the well. The contract was let on Thursday, work was begun Friday morning and on Saturday there was available a good supply of water from a two-inch pipe well 83 feet deep. All agreed that the sinking of a well of this depth in one day was something of a record. Mr. Edgar Jones returned to Fort Mill Sunday afternoon from an automobiie trip to his farm ten miles east of Americus, Ga. The distance between Fort Mill and Mr. Jones' Georgia farm is 410 miles, which Mr. Jones covered on the outgoing trip in exactly two days. Returning home, less effort was made by Mr. Jones to make the * trip as quickly as possible and he was on the road three days. Mr. Jones says that the crop prospects in the Americus section of ^Georgia are somewhat better than the prospects in this section, but the planting was delayed in the spring by the incessant rains and the cotton will not mature as early this jrear as ordinarily. TJie Cricdit Court. When The Enquirer went to press last Tuesday the court had under consideration some preliminaries in the case of the State vs. W. E. and Harvey Griffin charged with the murder of E. P. H. Nivens in Fort Mill township in the latter part of December 1910; but the case was not regularly taken up until Wednesday afternoon. A case in which there was considerable interest was that of the State vs. J. A. Eubanks, charged with murder. The circumstances of the case being still fresh in the public mind counsel for Eubank3 did not consider it wise to go to trial at this time and asked for a continuance, which was granted. The court saw proper to continue the case on its own account. A case of some interest was that of J. C. Clyburn, a former policeman of Rock Hill, charged with malicious mischief. The charge grew out of the shooting of a dog belonging to T. M. Hanna. The defendant gave as an excuse that he thought the dog was mad; but the fact that he left the dog to die of a wound and other circumstances led the jury to find a verdict of guilty. The court imposed a sentence of $50 or thirty days. In the case of Jake Roddey charged with murder, the testimony showed a clear case of self-delence. The case of W. E. and Harvey Griffin consumed the greater part of Wednesday afternoon and nearly all of Thursday. The case of the State showed a lot of hard work; but there was not enough evidence to convict. On cross examination of the defendants' witnesses the State seemed to strengthen its case materially; but was unable to bring to bear other than a presumption that the killing grew out of domestic trouble. Most of the evidence of the State was in certain letters alleged to have been found among the effects of the deceased; but ; these could not be gotten in evidence. After about half an hour the jury returned with a verdict of not guilty. , Ben Sturgis, charged with larceny was acquitted. J. A. Miller, who plead guilty to the charge of indecent assault in three cases was sentenced to two years in each case?six years in all. The last case taken up was that of the State vs. Elzie Bratton, charged with murder. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder, with a recommendation to mercy, and the sentence was life imprisonment. ? Yorkville Enquirer. Death of Mrs. Fannie Morrow Coip. After a long and trying illness in which she suffered intensely, Mrs. Fannie Morrow Gulp died at her home in Pineville, N. C., Saturday night. Mrs. Culp had been in declining health for more than two years, but there were indications of slight improvement in her condition from time to time up to two weeks ago, when it became apparent uiai sue tuuiu nut iuhhe many days. Several days before her death Mrs. Culp. lapsed into a state of coma and never regained consciousness. Mrs. Culp was 52 years of age. She was the daughter of the late Squire John W. Morrow and was the widow of Wm. C. Culp, who preceded her to the grave, about 28 years ago. Mrs. Culp is survived bv a daughter, Mrs. W. R. Bradford, of Fort Mill; one sister, Mrs. J. W. Hayes, of Charlotte, and a brother, T. P. Morrow, of Pine- I ville. The funeral services were con- j ducted from the Morrow home Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Sherrill, pastor of the Pineville Methodist church, in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Kingsley, pastor of the < Presbyterian church, of which Mrs. Culp had been a devoted member since her girlhood. The services and interment, in the ( Pineville cemetery, were attended by many relatives and friends of the family. Mrs. Culp was a woman of many , noble traits, a devoted mother, a kind a IauoI friiinrl anH a Pf>n IIVJ^JIUVI , O IUJ HI 14IVII\? W..W ? | . sistent church member. She did much ! to minister to the wants of the afflicted and needy in the community in which she resided and her memory will not soon be forgotten. To Vote in the Primary. It must not be forgotten that no individual, whethA duly registered or not, will be allowed to vote in the primary election to be held on the last Tuesday in August unless his name is on the club roll of the precinct at which he desires to vote at least live days before the election. That is the law of the Democratic party. As a general thing precinct clubs keep their club rolls from election to i election, adding new names; but not removing any that have already been entered, and a voter once enrolled, remains eligible as long as the use of the list is continued. But sometimes the officers of a precinct club lose the old list or for some reason decide upon a new enrollment, and in either case the names that had formerly been entered ujnm the list have to be entered again. The matter of enrollment is one that every voter should look out for on his own account. He does not have to sign the roll; nor does he have to give the ! precinct secretary personal instruc- j tions. That can be attended to by others; but every citizen who would be sure of safeguarding his right to vote must see to it that his name is entered I on the roll. The situation is one that ' fully justifies proper precaution. Recently The Enquirer has been ' asked whether or not young men who are not twenty-one years of age at the time of the primary election; but who will be twenty-one years of age before the general election to be held on Tuesday, Novenftber 5, have a right to enroll. The rules provide distinctly for this. Any young man not yet twenty-one but who will be twenty-one before November 5, will have a right to vote in the primary election, provided he has his name enrolled at the precinct at which he desires to vote five days before August 27. Yorkville Enquirer. Barnwell Man Shot G. D. Bellinger. Barnwell, July 16. In a personal encounter on the streets here last night, G. Duncan Bellinger, of Columbia, probate judge for Richland county, was shot by O. H. Best, Jr. The bullet found lodgement in his left arm between the shoulder and elbow, shattering the bone. Mr. Bellinger was carried to a local hotel and given medical attention. This morning he was carried to the Columbia hospital for treatment. There are conflicting reports as to the cause of the shooting. Words led to blows and during the encounter Mr. Best drew his pistol and began firing. The first shot took effect as above stated, the other two going wild. The affair is a very deplorable one and is deeply regretted by the friends of both parties. Why Tillman Voted for Lorimer. ( The taking of the vote Saturday af, ternoon which deprived Senator Lori- ~ mer of his seat in the United States Senate was preceded by a pathetic in- * ; cident. Senator Tillman, taking the s floor just before the calling of the roll g began, asked permission for the clerk n to read a statement he had prepared c which he himself was too weak to read, o It stated his conviction that Senator ^ Lorimer had been ejected without fraud. tl "I realize now that I have but a si little time before I must meet my A Maker," said Senator Tillman's state- it ment. "I cast my vote todXy, secure | in the conviction that the senator from ; Illinois is entitled to his seat. If he is ^ 1 driven from it I hope he will go back ~ to Illinois and devote himself to that work for which he has proven himself C so eloquently able, the uplifting and ' I betterment of his fellowmen." Senator Tillman wept as his tribute to Senator Lorimer was being read, i while other members of the senate found it difficult to hide their feelings j at his references to his own failing u condition. S a Governor Makes Statement. ^ According to a Columbia dispatch ft] Governor Blease Monday gave out the following statement: "The entire transactions as brought out in Augusta have been done at this time in the campaign for the purpose of injuring me, thinking as we had passed over half of the State that it would be impossible for me to reach the peo- f pie again. That whole thing is a tissue of misrepresentations and wilful lies, I which I will show the people of the * State at the proper time with the proofs. I have received numbers of j telegrams, letters and telephone messages from my friends throughout the r State and from parties who have here- \ tofcre never been my friends in which they denounce the committee for the action it has taken and assuring me ^ their undivided support. I am satisfied they have done me no injury but have ^ materially strengthened me with my friends and all other South Carolinians who love their State and who will 11 resent the manner in which this cowardly character thief, debauche and |j pimp has attempted to injure the chief j || magistrate of this State with the assistance of this committee." Referring to W. J. Burns, the detective, the governor said: "In my ? opinion* Burns proved himself un- Cj worthy of belief and a cheap hirling as I he has in other of his transactions." ?| May Reelect Blease. Commenting upon the dispensary hearing which is now under way in ' Augusta, Ga., the Charlotte Observer ? says: ^ "Detective Burns has never been known tq 'fall down' on a case, and tr yet the evidence produced at Augusta y< is not of a character to satisfy the ai public that Blease has been caught p< grafting. While The Observer has jg some doubts on that score, it has none whatever on another. Felder's detective tactics is going to arouse South Carolina sympathy for Blease and may reelect him Governor."
