If you have not contributed to the
(ioodfellow's Fund for Christmas
cheer of poor of this oity. you cun
send or leave at either The Chronicle
Office or the Messenger office
your donation. This week a party
handed in u Santa Ciaus letter to be
. published, with the remark "maybe
some one will read it and help my
babies, because if there is any Santa
Chi us played at my house this year,
some one else will do it, because I
am not able." And that's the way
it will be in many homes. Because
of the illness of Mrs. Margaret Mayfield,
Mr. Warrep H. Harris has
agreed to take charge of the funds
this year. He puts a lot of energy
in everything he undertakes and says
he hopes the fund this year will be
the largest ever contributed.
ASK8 HIM TO KK-CONSIDKU
Editor of The Chronicle: 1 for one
wus painfully surprised to read the
announcement that Mr. W. E. McDowell
had decided not to offer for
re-election to the office of Probate
Judge. I am sure if he had consulted
his many friends he would never
have come to this decision.
I have known Judge McDowell all
of my life and since childhood have
always regarded him as the sincere
Christian gentleman which we all
know him to be. He has always stood
for the right in every thing, and Kershaw
County could not do belter than
V insisting that In* change his decision
and offer for re-election to the
office which he has so faithfully
graced for the past years.
Mr. McDowell has the gentleness
of disposition and strength of character
which typifies the old time
^ Southern gentleman," which we in
these days delight to remember.
Every one I speak to hopes that
he will be prevailed on to re-consider
and offer for re-election to the office
which he has for so many years
adorned and has been an honor to;
A Warm Supporter.
Tillman Memorial Day.
I trust that every school in Kershaw
county will observe Tillman
Memorial Day, Friday, December fi,
thus giving tlx1 boys and girls an
opportunity of making a contribution
to this worthy cause. The monument
to be erected to the late Senator B.
R. Tillman on the state house
grounds will be there for future genorations
to see. and It should be some
satisfaction to those who will have
an opportunity to view it. to knAw
that they, too. had a part in its erection.
I eachers are requested to re port
the result of their collections
as early after they are taken as they
can make it convenient so that their
respective schools may be given
credit for it.

Jury Convicts Four
in Marion Rioting
Marion, N. C., Nov. 30.?Four
members of the United Textile Workera
of America, including Alfred
Hoffman, the union's southern org?y?izer,'
who led textile strike hefe,
which resulted in the charges,
were convicted of rioting in McDow-!
ell Superior court today and given
jail sentences.
Hoffman was fined $1,000 and sentenced
to 30 days in jail. Judge G.
V, Cow per, who imposed sentence,
said he did not give the textile union
organizer a longer jail sentence because
defense attorneys asserted
Hoffman was suffering .from heart
disease.
The other defendants, Lawrence
Hogan, Del l^ewls and Wes Fowler,
all local strike leaders were sentenced
to six months' imprisonment, or
at the county's option, on the chain
gang.
All gave notice of appeal to the
state supreme court and appeal bonds
were fixed by Judge Cowper at $2,000
each. Hoffman posted his bond several
hours after his eonvictjon, but
the other defendants had not made
theirs late today, it is expected to
bo several months before the supreme
court can uct upon appeals.
The jury acquitted the defendants
of resisting officers with which they
were also charged. It recommended
mercy returning the verdict of guilty
of rioting.
The specific disorder, one of many
during strikes in the two Clinchfield
Mills and the Marion Manufacturing
Company mill last summer, which
caused the charges against the defendants
occurred on August 30.
The state alleged the four men instigated
a riot to prevent officers
from restoring the furniture of an
alleged strike-breaker to his home
after it was charged, it had been removed
by strikers.#
