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. SPECIAL NOTICES. Advertisements Under this Head 25c For 25 Words or Less.
