JOE M. B1
At a congregational meeting
held at the conclusion of the
regular morning Service in the
Fort Mill Presbyterian church
Sunday morning three additional
elders and eight additional
deacons were elected. As elders
E. W. Kimbrell and K. Shannon
were elected from the diaconate
and Dr. J. B. Elliott from the
congregation. The names of
the additional deacons elected are
as follows: G. W. McKenzie, J.
P. Crowder, E. F. Phillips, Dr.
A. Theo Neely, J. M. Hutchinson,
S. R. Cook, B. E. Patterson
and J. J. Bailes. These
officers will be ordained and installed
at a date early in June.
A report was received from
the board of deacons who had
I A . A _1 A . It At _ 1 _1
i Deen instructed to sen tne oia
manse and make recommendations
for the building of a new
one; to the effect that sale had
been made and a partial canvass
of the congregation made to secure
funds for the erection of a
new building with the result
that a sum aprroximating $5,000
was in hand as a beginning of
the building fund. The report,
which was adopted by the congregation,
also recommended
that the work of building be
placed in the hands of a committee
composed of Dr. J. Lee
Spratt, J. Lee Capps, Osmond
Barber, J. B. Mills and Dr. J. B.
Elliott with instructions to proceed
with the work to its completion.
The plans of this committee
seem to favor the location
of the manse on the knoll on the
north of the church and somewhat
to the front.
Preacher Will Go to Jail.
The case of Rev. F. C. Hickson,
who was convicted before
Judge Woods at Rock Hill, of
making seditious utterances in
violation of the espionage law,
and sentenced to six months in
the penitentiary, has been heard
by the United States court of
appeals. Judge Pritchard has
rendered an opinion in which he
declares that according to the
showing made at the trial, were
no technical errors made at the
trial, and the verdict is upheld.
The judge, however, finds that
Judge Woods made a mistake in
sentencing the defendant to the
penitentiary when the statute
provides that all offenders sentenced
for less than a year must
go to jail instead. The case is
remanded back to the district
court with instructions that unless
there is a pardon, Mr. Hickson
will be held in jail for six
months.?The Enquirer.
