with a shotgun at close range '
about 7:80 o'clock Saturday 1
night.
The shooting occurred about 1
half way up Ardrey's Hill, west
of the Southern passenger station,
and, according to the
negro's version of the affair, the
shot was fired by Crawford 1
Tschellier, a young white man 1
employed in one of the local
cotton mills. Following this
statement of the negro and a
statement of a young man who
was in the company of Tschellier
at the time, the latter was arrested
shortly afterward and
placed in the city prison. Sunday
afternoon he was taken to York
jail, where he will be held pending
developments in the negro's
condition. Alexander bled profusely
from the wound and it
was feared that in his weakeneu
condition he could not survive
the necessary amputation of his
i arm, but this he did and at last
i reports was doing as well as
could be expected. Tschellier.

Baptists Doing Much Work.
The Baptist pastors of the I
county are just concluding an
efficiency campaign. during
which the work of the denomination
was placed before all the
churches in the county and plans
discussed for increasing the
efficiency in the individual
churches.
Much interest was taken by
all the congregations and it is
believed that the results achieved
will be far reaching. During
the campaign fifty joined the
tithing club and there were
rit hPI* orifinnnoi- ??!* - -.1
vf ivtvuv^o vi iiiticadcu
efforts on the part of the individual
members.
The work throughout the
county is in line shape and plans
are under way for even greater
work. Three new churches are
to soon be erected, the material
now beingplaced on the grounds.
A commodious brick edifice will
be erected at Hickory Grove,
costing $6,000 or $8,000. A
wooden building, of substantial
character is to soon be finished
at Smyrna, while a $3,000 building
will supplant the present
quarters used by the second
Baptist church in York.
Two new parsonages, one at
i orK ana one at Clover, are
being completed.
Taken as a whole the York
association will have a most encouraging
report to make at the
the State Convention, which
meets soon.
The committee on speakers of
the local Chautauqua club have
received assurance from State
Commissioner E. J. Watson that
he will be present Saturday

ISENHHOWER'S TRIAL I
NOT LIKELY THIS WEEK |
The court of general sessions |
for York county convened Mon- 1
day at York with Judge Rice I
presiding. It was thought that |
the time of the court for the i
present week will be taken up 1
entirely in the trial of cases in I
which the prisoners are in jail \
and it will undoubtedly be the ,
second week before the Fairfield ?
cases are called. It may be the j
third week, depending on the
business before the court.
Ernest Isenhower is under
three seDarate indictments fnr
murder, charged with killing A.
I). Hood, sheriff of Fairfield county,
Deputy Sheriff Raleigh Boulware
and the negro prisoner,
Jules Smith. Morrison and Rawls
are under indictment for the
i shooting of Sheriff Hood and the
| negro Smith.
The tragedy occurred at Winnsboro
on the 14th day of last June,
when the negro rapist, Jules
Smith, was shot to death and
Sherilf Hood and Deputy Sheriff
Boulware were mortally wounded
while they were taking the
negro up the steps of the court
house to place him on trial for
his life.
The trial of this case will be
watched with interest throughout
the State, and it is expected
that large crowds will be present
during the trial of the case.
