Fallow, of Columbia, and Mrs. Inabinet's baby and Mrs. Fallow's baby.

The ladies were able to] free themselves from the car and- get to the banks with assistance of those 1 who rushed- to the scene attracted by! their screams. They were brought to! Bithopville by a passing cart and except for the scare and 'being soaked in I water, they were littlf the worse off. I Those who first reached the scene! say that the light car which was drlv-1 en by a negro, Richards Adams, evi- j dently was traveling at such a speed! as made it impossible to clear the le(ft| hand Bide of the road after having I made the curve approaching the I bridge. Both cars were damaged,] however. Mr. Johnson's car was'^rfeturned to Bishop ville under its own power after emergenty repairs had been made.?Bishopville Messenger.

Owing to the prominence of the parties involved amj^ the "large family connections on both sides, the case of James H or ton for the killing of Willie Shaw in 1924 near Kershaw, the court room was filled with white people Interested in the trial when the case was called Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock. Quite an array of prominent coun/ sel on both aides also added to the interest manifested In the casG. The attorneys engaged iu the cas^ were -Messrs. J. L. Glenn, solicitor; M. L. Smith, Camden; E. D. Blakeney, Camden, for the prosecution; Messrs. R. S. Stewart, Lancaster; Cope land Massey, Kershaw; Claude Sapp, Columbia, for the defense. Considerable time was consumed in securing a jury, the panel as finnally selected being: E. S. Stover, C. J. Mathis, H. S. Ferguson, ty. L. Rowell, S. A. Cauthen, foreman; W. L. Carroll, J. F. Helms, H. D. Styith J. R. Si stare, H. F. Blair, J. L. Howey and Oscar Porter. It took a new venire of ten additional jurors to finally secure the last named juror. Sheriff Hunter being related to the defendant was excused and Coroner J. W. Small ..was placed in charge of the jury. The first witness was Dr. W. B. Werd ,of Rock Hill, who testified as to the operation to remove the bullets. Dr. L. T. Gregory of Kershaw testified as to the location and range of the bullets and of the fact of one severing the spinal cord, leaving the victim in a paralyzed Condition below the position of the fatal wound. Jackie Faile testified to the fact^ of tye 8(hootir\g taking place' on the premises of the deceased, Willie Shaw, about one hundred and fifty yards from the residence of the defendant.. James Horton. He told of sawing wood some distance away. He si^w James Horton approach Shaw witlT one hand in a side pocket and shoot Shaw three times in rapid succession at close range in his yard between the house and the barn.- The witness testified to the fact of Horton losing his barn by fire and getting^ permission to use ShaWs barn to store farm products, as a reason for going to the Shaw barn. Lem Faile testified to seeing Horton go to the bartf door,1 turnaround and call, "Will." Shaw and his wife came out on a rear porch. From there Shaw went on tdown the steps and approached Horton, who fired three times at close | range. Court recessed until 3 o'clock with Lem Faile still on the witness stand. Continuing on stand when court reopened, Lem Faile testified to seeing ttye me napproach each other. HortojF holding out the left " hand and the right hand in his coat pocket. On cross examination, attorneys for the defense tried to break down his t?sti? mony by arguing with the witness as to distances and obstructions, but the witness was flrnv He was followed by Mrs. Mary Ella Shaw, widow of the slain man, who testified as to the use of the barn by both parties and the fact of Horton having locked the barn and bailed to provide Shaw with a key, which occasioned some 'discussion between Horton and - Mrs. Shaw. Her .testimony^porroborated that of Lem Faile as to Qprthh- holding* out his hand and offering the key and of the defendant opening fire on her husband at short nange, verifying the testimony of Lem Faile as to thiscircuofrstance although the distance prevented Faile from hearing what was said or seeing what was in left hand of defendant. Dr. L. T. Gregory was recalled and testified as to the condition of the injured man and of advising him of his impending death. A prepared statement was read to the dying man, who declared the statement was true in every particular- and was considered His dying declaration. This* atitftd* ment occasioned considerable ' argument on'the.part of opposing counsel (in thev absence of the jury.) The judge ruled that it was admissible as the dying declaration of Shaw and it ! i.wiis accordingly read to the jury ,but that the judge would charge the jury as to the weight of the evidence which they were to determine. At this point court recessed 'until Friday John Crow, the next witness called, testified as to selling tha defendant ? pistol on the morning of the killing. On cross examinati^k witness admitt; cd conversation in regard to hearing that Lem Faile was carrying^a pistol for the defendant. This was ruled in.competent as hearsay. E. D. Small testified to seeing Horton with ; th< pistol cartridges about midday of tb< killing. At this juncture counsel foi the defense asked permission of thi court to have tha?jury view the acen< -of the killing. The court agreed b this and named the coroner to accom 1 , , ,* A pAny the jury, acting in place of th< sheriff, and DrTX. T. Gregory was' ap 11 point out the houses occupied by the principal* on the date of the killing. Court then adjourned until Qoon to permit the visit and return, it requiring a matter of two hours to make the thirty-five mile round trip by automobile. Mrs. Mary Ella Shaw, widow of the slain man, was next called . She testified that Horton locked the barn containing Shaw's provisions and failed to provide them with key, Askod if her husband had a pistol in his hand when called out of the house by Horton, insisted that he did not and that he was smoking a cigarette. Said that her husband said something to Horton about the key and he replied, "Come and get it," and when Shaw approached Horton the latter pulled out a pistol and commenced shooting. The defense put up only oine witness, James R. Horton, the defendant, testifying in his own behalf, the defendant admitted the difficulty, and tbe fact of having purchased a pistol on the day of the shooting, told of going to the barn about 6 o'clock in the evening and finding the lock broken from the door. Called to Shaw to kno>y where the lock was and Shaw coming out of tbe house said, "Qamn you, you wdn't bother me no more," and advanced on him with a pistol held in both hands and attempted to shoot him. That he (Horton) pulled his pistol and shot once end then twice more, to prevent Shaw recovering his pistol and making further attempt to shoot. Then advanced to the place where Shaw lay and picked up the pistol, vwhich he later turned over to the sheriff, along with his own. : Counsel on both sides made impassioned and eloquent pleas for and against the defendant and the speeches were listened to by a large crowd.

New York, Sept. 24.?The St. Louis Cardinals tucked away their first National league championship here today when they defeated New York, 0 to 4, after Cincinnati had lost the first game of a double header in Philadelphia. It was the* first championship won by a St, Louis club since the original Browns, of the old American association, won in 1888. The triumph of the Cards in firmly concerning the elusive pennant^ found popular favor throughout the East, Whe nthe game was over the Cards were hailed with cheers, t but they merely smiled as they hurried to the Club house, shaking |i*nde and slapping one another on the back. With the exception of Pitcher Groves Alexander, Outfielder Billy Southworth and Coach Killefer, being on a major league championship team was a new experience for the St. Louis players. About 5,000 witnessed the advent of the Cardinals to the premier honors. St. Louis players - were - favorites throughout the. game and whenever ft , Cardinal rally was cut off or the Giants scored groans went up from the spectators. Exhibiting Poultry. Clemeon College, Sept. 2f.?Exhibiting birds at poultry shows is one of the surest ways to get before the public. Many men bred poultry for pleasure, and for the eake of competition and the possibility of beating the other fellow. Valuable prizes are offered at various shows and the winners make a profit in this manner. Showing gives the.( best advertisement. This alone is sufficient reason for exhibits. If one Js jg jrinner_ his name is brought before prospective purchasers of high-priced bird*"tffid he will be abje to dispose of a larger'percentage of his stock. The exhibitor becomes familiar with those characteristics that are desirable for his varioty'of chickens, for the judges explain the desirable and undesirable dualities of the birds.. In this way he is influendfed to practice better breeding ipethods. Ctaeat care should be taken in se.ijjjproig birds for exhibition to pick those complying with the requirements Bet down in bhe breed Standard of Perfection as to color, shape and Btze. . ~~ Before they are sent to the show :room, birds should be kept in clean cages, and trained to show their desirable qualities. They should be conditioned from the time they are put in the training cage until they are shipped to the show. White-plumaged birds are washed by most exhibitors. The comb, watles, and legs are cleaned with soap and water and dried thoroughly. To make i the comb and wattles of a more glossy finish a small quantity of oil is used and rubbed in well, so there will be no oil spots on any part. An excellent liquid to cleanse and beautify the legs and face of poultry intended fpr exhibition at poultry shows is made as follows: Cooking oil 2 ounces; Ethyl alcohol, 1 ounce; acetic acid, 2 drams. Shake thoroughly before using. Saturate a small cloth with the solution and apply to the face, comb and legs of each fowl, removing all loose scale and dirt. Dry and polish W^ a wqolen cloth.?D. H.
