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.

Death was instantaneous. Coroner Atkinson held an inquest early this morning and the verdict was that 1'ullei came to his I death by a pistol snor wouna, uinicieu : by his own hand.

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.

CHESTERFIELD C0UN1 ' SCHOLARSHIP LOST ; TO CHESTERFIELD GOUNTYGIRLS STATE BOARD, AWARDS W] THROP SCHOLARSHIP TO ORANGES! RG COUNTY GBL Recommended by ? Late Board of Chs ties and Correction. Announcement Vas made last we that the Winthbp scholarship ] Cnesterfield countj had been aware to Miss Frazil user. Protest w ut once made on t e ground that M Houser was not &v citizen of Chest field county. The matter came up for hearing 1 fore the state boaid in Columbia h week but the protest was overrul and the scholarship was awarded Miss Houser. J '* The facts in the fatter as we gatl them are as folloWe: About two months before t examination for th? scholarships w held, a lady giving-her name as M Anne E. Houser, took charge of I Raynard Hotel In this city. T examination for vacant scholi ship was held the 9t|i of July and M Houser was a conges tan. Septemt 2 it became known] that the scholt ship had l>een awa ded to her Th i fternoon Mrs. H< user vacated t Ranard Hotel and left the follow! day for her home in St Matthev Orangeburg county.! The contention of the protestar was that Miss Houaer was not a ci zen of Chesterfield cjranty, and even she had been she had forfeited b right to the Chesterfield scholars!] when she moved awa^ from the couni On Saturday, Sept^ 9th, Mrs. Houe returned to Cher&w'dnd tried to j l>ack the Rfnard HoJei, failing in tl she sought a lawyei for legal advi in an effort to hole the scholars!] for her daughter. We are informed that quite a nu: her of affidavits w?re introduced the hearing before the state boai among them on* by lira. Houser to t effect that she had vniy left Chen temporarily and wotld return a: make it her home. In Mrs. Houser's effort to susta the uward of the sctolarshlp, it dev< oped that Mrs. Hou^ was not widow at all?that fttter Mr. House deuth she had marric^ again and th there are several c.hUrlren by the s< ond marriage but-4Ht she and t nusbaud had been livj Qg apart for s< eral years. So the a atention of the who claim that it la a shame "light a poor widow i pman" falls fli The truth of the fitter, as seen 1'he Chronicle, is Ujp.t Miss Horn is a citizen of Orangeburg county a is not entitled to a scholarship 1 tended by law for a Chesterfield cour girl. The Chronicle hadlioped to be al to print in this i^e the afhdav and other papers in [the matter tl were before the state board but b been unable ot secure them. Howevi we hope to have them| for next weel issue. Superintendent of Education Boi is to be commended for the fight made before the statejboard in the terest of justice add the .rights Chesterfield county gills. And in tl connection we will jadd that St* Superintendent of Education Swer gen took the same position that H house did and that iThe Chronii does?that the scholarship was for Chesterflflld county tgirl?and tl Miss Houser is notj a Chesterfli county girl. An editor approached SL Peter the Golden Gate and? handing him long list of delinquent subscrilx said: "Look this list over carefu and see if any of these fellows ha , sneaked through the pearly gates.' "No," said SL Peter, ['there are nc 1 i>f them inside, but J fellow slipi [ through here the other day who tc | tin? paper a year witlout paylug j it and hud the postuaster mark refused,' but we are iafter him, a when caught he will be consigned the place where he properly belon lie is meaner even fian the del ([uent sui>seriber, andj Heaven is j } his home." : \ ) When you buy a Sewiig Machine b !

GIlHspie Writes Letter That Will be Read With Interest by Chroni. cle Readers. 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, tat with best wishes, I am, 1,13 Yours truly, er. W. L.
