Uiahopville Report on Wreck.
What might have been, under <jwU-J
mury circumstances, a tragic accident,]
happened last Thursday night about]
two milea from"Camden on the Biah-|
opviiie road, when the automobile belonging
to J. K Johnson of Bishop-]
ville, was run into by a light car juatl
uh it was clearing the bridge over a
small canal, locking the steering methonism,
causing the heavy sedan to 1
plung into the canal. The cfcr was
being driven by Mrs. B. L. Inabinetl
and accompanying her on their return 1
trip from Columbia where they had
[spent the day were Mrs. /UX?. Reaves,!
Mr. Jack Shaw and Mrs. R. E. Fallow,
of Columbia, and Mrs. Inabinet's baby
and Mrs. Fallow's baby.
Perhaps the one thing that prevent-1
led a tragedy was that aome three feet]
I of water had been drawn * from the
canal dwtfng the .day, for whtn^thel
car settled in the stream the water!
was about half way the glass in the
car doors. 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.
A mummified horse, the first known
to history, has been unearthed in

and estimated to be about 3,500 years

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. Court recessed at 6:45 Friday
evening, tihe jury went to sapper and
upon re-assemb)ing the Judge charged

ST. LOUIS WINS PENNANT.
Triumph Finds Popular Favor On Adversary's
Grounds.
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.
