per at the Parish House on Tues
day evening: at 7:30, at which Dr.
W. S. Rainsford will be the special
guest and will speak, on "Hunting
.Big Game in Africa." Dr. Rainsford
was rector of St. Georges's, New
York, from 1880 to 1902, when he re-i
signed because of failing . health.
Since that time he has hunted big
game in Africa, and his health is
much improved. Dr. Rainsford came
to New York from Canada, when St.
George's fashionable congregation
had moved north, and the church
needed to be built up again. J. Pier
pont Morgan, Soth Low and a few
other men of wealth and prominence
stayed with the institution and called
tho young Englishman from Toronto
to the rectorshijj on his own terms.
The result was that in twenty years
an immense congregation was gath
ered into St. George's, and it is today
one of the largest and most useful
downtown churches, in New York. ?

INQUIRES ABOUT TOLL BRIDGB
Federal Engineer Wants to Know
About Spun Over Wateree
(Sunday 'h State) ?
What future use is to bo made by
Kershaw county of the revenue .de
rived from the toll bridge over
Wateree river between Columbia and
Camden is the subject of a letter of
R. J5. Toms, acting district engineer
of the bureau of public roads, to C. H.
Moorefield, state highway 'engineer.
Mr. Toms asks in the letter if Ker
shaw county will use the revenue
aolely for the amortization of the in
debtedness incurred in the construc
tion of the bridge or also for general
county purposes.
Mr. Moorefield said that he would
report ty the government after the
highway department had conferred
with Kershaw county officials. Should
the officials decido to make use of the
toll for county purposes, thero is a
possibility that no further federal
aid will be allowed the section of that
highway in Kershaw county leading
to the bridge. x
The letter was written as ^he re
sult of a maintenance inspection made
by V. E. Towles, senior representative
of the bureau in South Carolina. Mr.
Towles found that a toll house was
being erected in the middle of the,
highway, which is a federal aid
project , and at a distance of about
100 feet from the bridge. In the
maintenance of this toll house, Mr.
x OHIO xy ui?u M
the federal aid road act.
But the letter was written not so
much as a complaint against the erec
tion of a toll bridge on a federal aid
project as an inquiry into the use
of the revenue derived from the op
eration of the toll bridge. Since the
bridge was constructed at a cost of
$105,000, according to the information
received by the bureau and since the
tolls on the bridge amounted to ap
proximately $36,000 last year, .the dis
trict engineer looks for a more rapid
amprtization of the indebteclnes than
was at first contemplated.
Mr. Moorefield said that there was
reason for the inquiry directed by the
district engineer as it was not right
that Kershaw county should derive
profit from a project when other coun
ties, which have improved the roads
within their bounds leading to Ker
shaw county and thereby increasing
travel and possible sources of reve
nue, derive no profit. He cited thb
case of Richland county, which has
spent about $600,000 on the section of
state highway No. 50 within this
county, thereby offering a better road
to motorists and bringing about more
travel over the road. While Kershaw
county would receive tolls from the
motorists who were traveling over
highway No. 46, Richland county
would receive no toll.
"It is my belief that the disposition
of the county authorities of Kershaw
county ^as to retire the bonds out of
the fun^s collected and not to use
the bridge for the profit of the
county," the state highway engineer
said yesterday, when asked about the
matter, "after farther conference with
county officials we will report to the.
government." The county commis
sioners have not committed them
selves definitely to'the policy of re
tiring the bonds and making no
further use of the funds."
Mr. Moorefield said that the new
toll house was erected by Kershaw
county with the consent of the state
highway department. The bridge is
not, of course, a federal aid project,
since, if such* was the case, no toll
could be collected. 'The bridge was
erected several years ago, before the
section of the highway on both sides
; of it became a federal aid project.
"Our information is that the total
cost of this bridge over Wateree river
\^is in the neighborhood of $105,000,"
Mr. Toms writes, "and that it was the
i
intention of the county to operate this
bridge as a toll bridge, using the
revenue derived therefrom for the
j amortization of the indebtedness in
| curred for the construction of this
; bridge. We are also informed that
during the past calendar year the
gross revenue received from the tolls
of this bridge amounted to approxi
mately $35,000.
"It would, therefore, appear that
the yearly revenue derived from this
bridge would permit the retirement of
this indebtedness at a more rapid rate
than was contemplated at the time
this indebtednes Vas incurred. In
view of these condition*, the office
would like to be adviaed regarding the
attitude of the county toward the
more rapid amortization of the in*
dobtedneta iwcurred for tW? bridge
TOM HAY GUILTY
To Serve Ten Years For Stubbing To
Death Willie Williams.
The spring term of court began
Monday morning with Judge M. L.
Bonham making hi* first appearance
here and his charge to the grand jury
hatf been most favorably commented
upon. Solicitor Spigner was at ^tix
post, but Court Stenographer John K.
Aull *was absent on account of sick
ness. Magistrate S. N. Nicholson
officiated as court stenographer until
W. L. Marshall could arrive from
Columbia.
The most important case disposed
of at this term ao far is that of Tom
Kay, the white man charged with
stabbing Willie Williams to death on
Main street here in December, 1D22.
The first trial resulted in a mistrial.
Today a consent verdict resulted in a
plea of guilty to manslaughter and
Ray was sentenced to, serve ten years.
Hay is more than sixty yeas of age.
The liny case was set for trial Wed
nesdays but owing to tho plea of
(guilty, no oth$r cases had been set
for that day and tho court adjourned
until 'Thursday when the case of
Robert Getty s and William Graham,
i)egToes, charged with slaying Baker
Hart .near Bethune at a tacky party
"waa set for trial..
Other cases disposed of at this term
were : i
Anderson Peay, charged with house
breaking and larceny in, two cases,
received two years in each case, tho
-sentences to run concurrently.
Bennie Thompson was acquitted of
a charge of larceny of live stock. His
father was the prosecutor in this case.
Tom Banks, a white man, was con
victed of incest. He was sentenced to
serve five years.
Janie McLendon, a white wornalf
who resides a few miles south of
Camden on the Camden-Sumter road
was convicted of conducting a bawdy
house. The judge reserveH sentence
until a future date.
William Allen, a white man, plead
guilty to a charge of house breaking
and larceny and received a sentence j
of six months.
John Atkinsdn, alias John Boone, a
white man, was found not guilty of a I
charge of stealing van automobile.
Whiteford Lloyd, a young white
man, was acquitted of a charge of
violating the prohibition law*.
Charlie Atkinson, a negro, who
stole an automobile belonging to
Rural Carrier Vincent, of Rembert,
while parked in front of the Majestic
Theatre, was found guilty and sen
tenced to serve two years. Atkinson
made a poor witness as he stammered.
John C. Dixon, was convicted of
violating prohibition laws and was
sentenced to serve six months. Three
months to be suspended upon good
behavior. I
W. W. Price, W. M. Price and Jeff
with tjrt; idea of releasing it from
tolls at rfs early a date as possible./
"If it is the intention of the county
to continue the operation of the
bridge as a toll bridge, and uso the
surplus revenue derived therefrom for
general county or other purposes, I do
not believe that the bureau could look
with favor upon the approval of any
future federal aid projects which
would tend to improve the facilities
for travel along the route on which
this bridge is located and by so doing
add to the revenue of the county.
"Wo would be glad if you would
take this matter up with the county
officials of Kershaw county and ad
vise us of their attitude in order that
we may have information in this office
upon which to base our recommenda
tions for approval on all projects sub
mitted along the routes loading to this
bridge."
Mr. Toms writes of the technical
violation of the law in the following
words: "In connection with the erec
tion of this toll house on this federal
aid project, your attention is invited
to Section 1 of the federal aid road
act of July 11, 1916, which provides
that all roads constructed under the
provisions of this act shall be free
from tolls of all kinds. While the toll
being collected at this toll house is
not primarily a toll for the use of the
road, but is actually toll collected for
the crossing of the bridge, the fact
remains however, that the mainte
nance of a toll house on any part of a
federal aid project constitutes a tech
nical violation of the law in this re
spect."
District 8, of which Mr. Toms is
acting engineer, is composed of the
state of Sooth Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and
Tennessee. District headquarters are
at Montgomery, Ala.
charged with highway robbery
and assault, plead guilty to simple
assault. The first named was sen
tenced to pay a tine of $-r>0 or serve
thirty days. The la?t two named were
lined $25 or serve thirty days. Sen
tences were suspended for thirty days
in order that they might raise the
amount of the fine.
The ease against Mattie Thompson,
l)oeia Thompson and St arks Thomp
son, negro women, charged with as
sault and battery and carrying con
cealed weapons was nol pressed.
The charge of murder against Wade
Reynolds, a white man for the killing
of Willie Harris, the negro filling
station owner has been set for today
(Friday).
Willie Knox, charged with the kill
ing of a negro near Bethune has also
been set for Friday.
M. Olander Hatfield, the white man,
who killed Ernest Stokes a few miles
southeast of Bethune several weeks
ago will be placell on trial next
Tuesday. ? >
(irand Jury Presentment.
To his Honor M. L. Bonham, Pre
siding Judge, Spring Term of C-ouit,
Kershaw C<ninty: ...
We beg "to submit herewith our
presentment for this term of court
to wi^i r
We have passed on all bills handed
us by the Solicitor. .We have ap
pointed a book committee, who w?t
have charge of looking over all the
county officer's books, and report at
son>e future term of court. We looked
over the county jail, and find that the
sewerage is fn much needed repairs,
should ITT* TTsCv* i<* W titicnuuil* ^
We recommend that this have proper
attention at once. We also recom-|
mend that a telephone be placed m
the jail, as we think this much needed, |
A committee visited the county chain
gang, and found it well kept, except
the kitchen which was in bad condi
tion, but a new one is in course of
erection. The prisoners are being
well cared for. It has been reported
to us that the mules that are used
by the hired gang on the Bethune
Kershaw road are being allowed to
stand out in the weather, this should
not be, and we recommend that the
mules be housed, especially in bad
weather. It has also been reported
that the hands working on this road
do not go to work before eight o'clock
| in the forenoon. We recommend that
they be required to start to work
earlier, so that a full day's work may
be done, for which we syppose they
get pay.
We recommend that the County
Board of Directors be more careful as
to the expenditure of county money
for attorney's fees. *
It has been brought to our attention
that there is lots of speeding of ears
on the public highways. We sound a
note of warning that this is dangerous
and should be stopped.
We want to commend our sheriff
for the fine showing he made before
our body of the collection of t tax
executions. He has no uncollected
taxes back of 1921, and very few of
that year, and only a very small per
cent of 1922 uncollected. The sheriff
hopes to make a full and complete
settlement of all back taxes before
the next term of dourt. The sheriff
has been very active along this line.
We recommend that the road lead
ing out from the Bishopville High
way, through what is known as the
Friday Crossing section be clayed to
its terminal, as we learn that there
is about a mile and one-half of this
road that is almost impassable for
the sand. It should be clayed. We
learn that the most of the other roads
in the county are in good shape, ex
cept the Flat Rock road, near Mr.
T. B. Clyburn's place over Flat Rock
Creek. This is impassable and should
have immediate attention.
' We fiifld that the schools are all
running smoothly, and the teachers
have all been paid to date. There has
been considerable progress made
along educational lines. Several
school districts throughout tho county
have been consolidated and State
High Schools established. We note
that the county has a truant officer
and the compulsory attendance law is
being enforced.
We would not forget to mention the
neat appearance of the court house.
It is beine well kent.
It has been brought to our attention
that the forces on the hired gangs
are very extravagant in their living,
using too much high priced goods,
such as canned goods, whereas they
should use a much less expensive diet.
It is also reported that they are not
as economical as they should be in
preserving the goods bought. There
; too much waste from the kitchen.
We hope that the county authorities
will look into this very important
matter.
We were very much impressed with
his Honor's charge and will endeavor
to see that all laws in Kershaw
County are enforced. We beg to
thank you, his Honor, and all court
officials for the many courtesies
shown us, all of which we very re
spectfully submit. Respectfully,
E. J. LEWIS.
