Boy Shot Father.
, .' New Orleans, La., May 22.?
Leon C. Perez, 44 years old, a cleric
in his brother's drug store at 1042
Canal street, was shot through the
- ' head and almost instantly killed by
his son, William Perez at the family
home, 206 South Claiborne street,
about 11 o'clock last night. Immediately
after the shooting the son
ran to a restaurant to telephone for
an ambulance. He was arrested and
taken to the First precinct police station,
where he was charged with
murder. According to statements
made by the young man he shot his
father with a rifle to prevent the
latter from striking his mother.
Editor's Assailant Convicted.
i New Orleans, La., May 22.?
Former Police Inspector E. S. Whitaker
was to-night f oiind guilty of assault
with a dangerous weapon. Sentence
was deferred. The verdict was the result
of a sensational shooting several
months ago which caused Whitaker
to lose his position as head of the
New Orleans police department. Accompanied
by several detectives, the
inspector entered the office of J. M.
Leveque, a newspaper editor, and
fired two shots at him with a revolver,
missing both. Whitaker had objected
to Leveque's editorials.
The First Candidate.
\ Hon. W. S. Smith, State Senator
J from Hampton County, was the first
to file his pledge and pay his assessment
to the State Democratic executive
committee as a candidate in the
coming campaign. Mr. Smith is a
candidate for congress from the
second congressional district, to succeed
Hon. J. 0. Patterson.
Senator Smith was in Columbia last
week attending the State Democratic
convention, and while there he called
on Gen. Wilie Jones, State chairman,
filed his pledge and paid the assess,
ment of $50.
?.?
No Injunction Bill.
Washington, May 21.?No bill to
modify the power of the federal
courts in the exercise of injunctions
will be passed at this session of congress.
It was decided to-night at a
conference of the Republican members
of the house to enact such a
measure would be unwise.
As indicated by the several votes
taken, sentiment for and against a
modifying bill was pretty evenly divided,
and those who led in the debate
took part with much vigor and
spirit.
SALE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY
CAUSES CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION
AT ROCK HILL.
Senator B. R. Tillman Writes Letter
Threatening to Move Winthrop
College.
Columbia, May 22.?The tug of
war the Winthrop authorities have
been having with the Rock Hill local
school board over the proposition to
transfer to Winthrop what is known
as the "high school property," just
across the street from Winthrop, and
1 * % i --i.
which has been the suDject 01 mure
or less acrimonious discussion in
i Rock Hill for several months, has
called forth a characteristically vigori
ous letter from Senator Tillman to a
| member of the Winthrop board of
I trustees who has local connections.
The letter has not been given out
for publication, but those who have
seen it say it is full of "fire and brimstone,M
that the senator says in it
that if the fool fight that is being
made in Rock Hill on President Johnson
in this matter is not at once stopped
the senator will get his friends
together and induce the legislature
to refund to Rock Hill the $80,000 it
gave for the establishment of Winthrop
in that town and remove the
college to a more congenial and appreciative
city, and turn the present
Winthrop "plant" into a State asylum
for negroes, that the need for a
separate asylum for blacks is becoming
more and more insistent daily
anyway.
Since this letter was written?but
hardly as a result of it, however?a
majority of the Rock Hill school board
has voted to sell the property in ques!
tion to the college at something like
$20,000, which is nearly three times
what it sold for a few years ago, and
$5,000 more than Winthrop offered
: for it at the beginning of this controversy.
The property,' however, is
very valuable, and is likely fully
worth the price named in the deal.
Still, the row is not over; the minority
in the local board now seeking to
uphold the sale by injunction proceedings
on the ground that this property
cannot be used for other than
high school purposes. Friends of
Winthrop, however, regard the deal
as practically closed, believing that
* * *? A? '11 U/\
WIG mjUIlCUUXl Will nut uc ououtuicu.
The object of the Winthrop management
is to make an Ideal model
school of this property, on which
nearly $100,000 all told is to be expended,
the institution affording free
tuition to people in Rock Hill and
vicinity.
* The final result of the controversy
will be watched with keen interest
throughout the State.
In order to offset the argument in
favor of letting the property go to
Winthrop members of the local school
board came here last winter and got
a special act passed, in the form of
an amendment to another local bill,
providing for a special election in
Rock Hill to authorize an additional
tax levy with which to operate the
school; the biggest property'holders
in the town are backing this move.
One of the Rock Hill local papers
bitterly attacked the members of the
local board blocking the deal, accusing
them of impeding progress for
selfish purposes. The two members
of the board who have been opposing
Winthrop mostvigorously own practically
all the other property contiguous
to the present Winthrop grounds, and
having flanked President Johnson at
the rear of the college with a cotton
mill and cotton mill villages, they are
accused of presenting him the alternative
of buying their property for
his model school or going without.
On the other hand those supporting
these members of the local board say
they have been apting for the best interests
of the town of Rock Hill, and
that their efforts to continue a school
for boys in the community have been
prompted solely by patriotic motives.
Union Farm Kennels Burned.
Union Springs, Ala., May 20.?
News has just reached .'here that the
Union Farm kennels, at Suspension,
have been destroyed by fire and several
fine dogs and horses perished.
Trmrvnah. the winner of manv of
the field trials, was saved.
The kennels were owned by C. J.
Tway. His brother, H. H. Tway, was
severely burned.
Taft Wanted to Dine With a Negro.
Fayetteville, N. C., May 22.?
Solicitor N. A. Sinclair, returned last
night from Savannah, Ga., where he
went to attend the funeral of his
aunt, Mrs. Mary McNeill. On the
train with Mr. St. Clair was Secretary
of War William H. Taft, leading
Republican candidate for the presidency
and three attendants, two
white men and a negro. The secretary
of war and a party boarded, the
train at Charleston, having returned
from a trip to Panama. The secretary
ordered four covers laid on the
table, for dinner and on account of
the great bulk of the secretary the
table, which is intended to seat four
people, had to be extended.
When the great man and his three
companions appeared in the dining
car and were preparing to take their
seats, the conductor came on the
scene and informed Mr. Taft that in
South Carolina colored men had to
wait until after all the whites had
eaten and despite the secretary's protest
his negro companion had to retire.
Taft is certainly bidding high for
the negro vote and it remains to be
seen if he can wean them back with
such a bait. The incident will almost
certainly create a revulsion of sentiment
among the white people with
whom any attempt to break down
the social lawn between the races is
met with repudiation.
TRYING TO OUST WILSON.
South Carolina Delegation Ask President
to Appoint New Postmaster.
Washington, May 23.?The entire
membership of the South Carolina
delegation in Congress called at
the White House to-day and saw the
President in regard to the situation
at the Florence postoffice. J. E. Wilson,
the present colored incumbent,
has been the postmaster there for
about sixteen years, and recently a
movement was commenced by the
citizens of Florence to have him re ?
CaiTavnl m*i?>frir?rrc n"F flip npft
IIIUVCU. gcYwai y,*. f,~~
pie of that place have been held with
this object in view. Representative
Ellerbe was the spokesman for the
party to-day and told the President
among other things that Wilson is
and for some time past has been incompetent
to properly discharge the
duties of the office.
He is quite an old man and is not
able to give personal attention to the
work of the office. The assistant
postmaster and the clerks and employees
in the office are young negroes,
and the conduct of the office,
because of Wilson's age and physical
condition, has fallen on them. It is
said that they are imprudent, impolite
and wanting in a high degree
1 Ti
in courtesy ana politeness, it was
shown in addition to this that nearly
100 per cent of the patrons of the
office, including both white and colored
people, desire a change. Mr.
Ellerbe asked that some suitable person
be named for the place, and that
if it was not possible to do this now
that the President would at least not
make a recess appointment.
The President told the delegation
that he would give the matter the
most careful attention. The name of
W. J. Stroud has been submitted for
Wilson's place, and it is understood
that his appointment would give entire
satisfaction to the patrons of the
office.
Newspaper Man Attacked.
Greenville, May 23.?Douglass
Jenkins, news editor of the Greenville
News, was attacked by Jv W.
Norwood, president of the Norwood
National Bank, this afternoon in the
editorial rooms of the News. The
two men were separated before any
- - -? ?a
serious injuries were auswuncu. nviwood
thought that Jenkins had done
him a wrong in withholding part of
an account of a fight between Norwood
and Mayor Mahon. Mr. Norwood
struck Mr. Jenkins before he
could give an explanation. He later
apologized to Mr. Jenkins and stated
that he had acted too hastily, and
that Mr. Jenkins was not to blame.
Jenkins was hit in the eye and was
bruised on the face considerably.
Norwood says he regrets his action
very much.
