Mast in Fuller, colored, lies dead this
morning as a result of fooling with an
unloaded pistob I.ast night Fuller
took his girl to an entertainment and
as is generally the case with young
negro bucks, lie had a pistol along. On
their return home Fuller was showing
his girl how the pistol worked. Ho
was advised by several in the crowd
to put it up. He "broke" the pistol
and emptied out the cartridges, but in
some manner one of the cartridges
stuck ami when Fuller snapped the
pistol this cartridge fiired and the hu'
let entered his eye and passed entirely
through his head. Death was instantaneous.
Coroner Atkinson held an

Brought Bark From \4% York
Vernon S. Blackburn was brought
in this morning by Sheriff Douglass
from Staten Island, X. Y., and is now
lodged in jail to await trial 011 charges
of adultry and desertion. Blackburn
lived near McBee and married
several years ago a daughter of Mr.
John T. Gulledge. On the 2Sth 01
March. 1915, he left for parts unknown
taking with him his wife's youngei
sister. Nothing was heard of them
until about two months ago when the
"sister" returned home. She refused,
however, to give any information. A
short time afterward Mrs. Blackburn
received a letter from her delinquent
husband and this letter was turned
over to the authorities. A warrant
was issued and requisition papers secured
and sheriff Douglass went after
his man.
Unless by agreement the trial of the
jases will not come up at the term ot

The facts in the fatter as we gatl

About two months before t

Camp El Paso, Texas,
September, 13, 1916.
Mr. J. N. Stricklin, Editor,
Cheraw, S. C.
Dear Sir:?
This af^prnoon Company "I" Cheraw
Guards, of the First South Carolina
Infantry, defeated Company "M", the
champion team of the Second South
Carolina Infantry, In a gawe of ball.
Following was the line up:
1st b., Chas. I. Pegues.
ri- 2nd b., Paul Davis.
3rd b., J. Dagnold Cato.
S. S., J. Henry Linton.
;ek L. F., Lenson C. Graves, W. C. Baker,
for C. F., John J. Tracey.
led R. F., W. Clyde Coward,
as C., Martyr B. Smith,
iss p., Mastin Driggers. J. D. Cato.
er- Features of the game was the hitting
of Linton, getting 4 hits in 4
bo- times at the bat, t^*o being two bagist
gers. Tracey got a double, then stole
'ed 3rd and home. Maston Driggers pitchto
ed a fine game In spite of the fact that
he had just come out of the base hos
^r pital Martyr Smith always "was to.
ball player but the military training
here and at Styx has made a pan out
as of him, and with his old time swiftr?
ness, Martyr put the ball from home
to 3rd Just al the right time to count
Chas. Pegues played well, while the
lr" others did their part to win the game.
Iss W. C. Baker stopped all balls that
^r came his way, and at one time a liner
lr~ "kissed" him square in the forehead,
iat but Baker came to just in time to
he catch it on first bounce. The boys ha?e
n8 always accused Baker of being a little
"hard headed."
We are well fixed up here and all
'to the boys are enjoying their camp life,
which has helped them all physically,
and the training and trip here will be
er worth more to them than several years
l*P in school.
fr- Sam Cato has made a record in
fir signalling and stands first in the South
Carolina signal corps of which Sam is
lis a member. Sam always has a smile
^ 011 his face, and his cheerfulness has
dp helped to brighten the cloudy days
that come in military life.
m- The boys are very anxious to pull
off a drill in Cheraw on their return
to show how much they have improved,
be We are proud to say that the South
lw Carolina National Guard ranks third,
nd Massachusetts ranks first, New York
second. The South Carolina troops
d11 are well equipped and have accomel~
plished in the five weks they have
a been in Texas, what other organizar'8
tions have taken minths to do.
New York and Massachusetts spend
annually millions of dollars on the up
^ keep of their National Guardsmen, and
iV* the enlisted men draw as much from
>se their States as the National Government
pays them here. The Northern
at* troops have all had years of training
as they were physically examined as
^ they were enlisted and being fully
equipped and with years of training
should have outclassed us and it goes
to show how well the S. C. boys have
worked.
)l0 The boys always enjoy reading the
Chronicle,
