The. Scott negroes were native Lee county people, but moved to McColl four or five years .ago. Polly Seott died in MoColl last week and the cir cumatances surrounding her death attracted suspicion. An inquest was held hut officers were unable to And foul play, therefore the suspects were released. They came to Bishopville Saturday and Sunday the funeral was held. The twelve year old son of John Scott, accompanied the party and from information obtainable it seems that after the funeral the boy informed his uncle, a 'brother of the dead woman that his father assisted by the other woman, had killed his mother Vy smothering her. That the woman had sat upon her feet while the father wrapped her head in a quilt. The Jx>y when brought to Sheriff Scarborough told a very straight story. He said that he was in bed in the same room with his mother whbn his father and the other woman came into the room. That he pretended- to be asleep and did not know that in the struggle that his mother had been killed until the following morning. He did not tell his story before because of the fear* of his father. Lee county officers locked the woman and John Scott up and notified Sheriff Weatherly of Bennettsville, who sent officers for. them this week.

"If you expect to got to North Carolina, don't come through Lancaster county." On Wednesday evening abqyt 7 o'clock the local- officers were advised by long distance telephone from -Jefferson that u rum-runner driving a Chrysler -roadster, waa coming through this county, headed for Charlotte. The officers were uncertain as to just what road or street the rum runner would use in reaching in the Charlotte highway. Deputy Sheriff Hucy Montgomery ,1'olicemun Clyde Vickery, joe Byrd, in Jbe police Studebaker proceeded up the . Charlotte road , to the Taylor place. They did not have long to wait. Presently a car appeared in sight that proved to be the Chrysler that they were looking for and the road waa promptly blocked. The rum-runner approached at a rapid clip and undertook to run around the ?>Uidebaker, but Montgomery, by a quick maneuver, caused the Chysler to bump the Studebaker and come to a stop. The officers took charge of the car and the occupants and upon a seach of the baggage compartment of the car found ten five-gallon cans, containing fifty gallons of whiskey. .The rum-runners, who gave their napies as Bob Mosier and Elizabeth Blake of Charlotte, were taken into custody and brought before Magistrate fe. S. Steele and in default of bond were lodged in the county jail. It is said that this car has made several tips through Lancaster recently, it being a comparatively new ca/r, having fueled onjy about 7,000 miles and is said to bt; valued at $1,500, it being a late model and well-equipped throughout. Sheriff Hunter Is highly pleased with this lutest proof of the efficiency of the city and county officers -in dealing with violators of the prohibition law and while he did not actually offer rum-runners the advice quoted in the first paragaph of this story, it might pay them to heed it.-?Lancaster News A Darkey's Christmas Trust Fund An humble old negro man living in Fayetteville, N. C., who died recently, left all of his earthly goods, valued ,at $5,000, to a nVulti-millionaire, and thereby created a trust fund, the int'ome from whjch will be distributed annually, just before Christmas day, to the darkies of that section. This old-timey darky, by industry, frugality and hard work managed to own his home, which property increased in value as the years went by. At the time of his death he had no immediate relatives, so he willed his property to W. W. Fuller, whose parents owned his wife in the slavery days before the war 'Betweeh the States and with whom he had played many a day as a child. He stated in bis will, according to the special-dispatch from Fayetteville to the Greensboro Daily News, that "Mr. Willie" would know better what to do with the estate than he would, and this confidence was justified by the beneficiary, who set up as a trust fund $5,000 in Bethlehem Steel, preferred, bearing a return of 7 per cent annually, with a board of trustees, all Fayetteville men, who will administer the fund. In this way the name of this antebellum darky will be perpetuated as the "James iMcAllister 'Christmas Fund," and hundreds ofi negroes will yearly receive material help, comfort and sustenance at the time of the year when it comes in most handily?-at Christmas. The reason for his action James McAllister clearly sets forth in his will, as follows: ? 441 do this for the reason that I have no children, my wife is dead, tind Mr. Willie Fuller has always helped me when I needed it, and hasj been my dearest and best friend; my wife, now deceased, belonged to his father and mother, and it was my pleasure to be with the family during and after the war, and the intimacy that, sprang up then between me and Mr. Willie, then a small boy, has been continued through life."?Spartanburg Journal.
