about four miles below Camden on
' the Sumter road, near Mulberry, the:
winter home of Mr. D. R. Williams. |
Mrs. Wray suffered a fractured col-;

where she was cared for until this I
morning, when she was removed to!

have to remain several days, it is I
expected.
That all in the car were not seri^
ously injured or killed is considered
miraculous. As the car left the embankment
it turned completely over,
and the occupants were evidently
/ throvm out as it was leaving the
narrow causeway. One wheel was
snapped off at the axle, and the car
is practically a wreck.

STATE SATS GOODBYE.
Seven Other States Entered the Prohibition
Banks.
Columbia, Dec. 31.?"Good-bye,
booze, we're through," sang South
Carolinians tonight as the sun went
down and the dispensaries closed up
forever. The remnant of the G. M.
j I. departed this life officially at 5:25
o'clock this afternoon and South CarI
rUino tr?r*lr lior nlnoo in thp ranks of
the prohibition States. There were
110 tears and no obsequies at the end.
The knowledge was State-wide that
the dispensaries would be no more
after tonight and the ending had been
discounted.
With some stock left 011 hand in
Richland and Charleston and possibly
a few^ other counties there can be
nothing done with it unless the general
assembly directs some disposition
to be made.
The stock on hand will be locked
in central warehouses and left until
further directions are given by the
law-making powers.
It is estimated by L. L. Bultman,
State dispensary auditor, that at
least $125,000 worth of liquor will
* _1 1
De on nana wnen tut? uispeii?cn ica
close this afternoon. This surplus
has placed the State authorities in a
quandary, as the bill providing for
the referendum election did not provide
for the disposal of any stock
that might be left over, and the position
of every official and subordinate
of the system automatically
ceases tonight. This raises a doubt
as to the ownership of the remaining
stock and what disposition can be
made of it as it cannot legally be sold
in South Carolina. The matter will
either have to be adjusted by the
legislature or the courts, it is said.
Bamberg and Williamsburg counties
are the only ones that have completely
disposed of their stocks. It is estimated
that the Columbia dispensaries
will have a $30,000 surplus stock and
Charleston $50,000 worth of whiskey
on hand.
Governor Manning states that the
prohibition law will be enforced to
the^ letter. Representative Liles, of
Orfln^ehnrar. at the next session of
the legislature will introduce a bill
making the penalty for conviction of
the illicit selling of liquor a straight
chain gang sentence without the alternative
of a fine.
First Experience.
Arkansas will have its first experience
with prohibition when the |
State-wide law passed by the last
legislature goes into effect. The Arkansas
department of the Anti-Saloon
league has announced that .the league
will have workers in fhe field to see
that the law is enforced. Anti-prohibition
leaders have announced that
no fight will be made for the repeal
of the law at least until prohibition
has been given a thorough trial.
In Iowa "bargain day" sales in the
502 saloons of the State are in prog- j
ress today preparatory to the final
closing tonight. Under .the Mulot
act, passed by the last legislature,
statutory prohibition is restored.
pending the action of the next legislature
and the people on the proposed
constitutional amendment for prohibition,
which is to be disposeo. of
within the hext two years.
SENDS A BULLET INTO HEART.
Well-knbwn Citizen of Lancaster
Meets Death by His Own Hands.
Lancaster, January 4.?John Crawford,
one of Lancaster's most prominent
citizens, committed suicide here
this morning at his home in the
northern part of town by shooting
himself through the heart. He had
been in poor health for several
months and it is .thought that tfie
worry and anxiety on account of his
condition temporarily unbalanced his
mind and caused him to take his life.
He was held in high esteem and admired
by a host of-warm friends not
rmlv in T anr>astp>r his native town.
but throughout the county and in
other parts of the State where he had
i visited and was well known.
He was the only son of the late Dr.
M. P. Crawford and was about 36
years of age. He is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Lola Heath, of
Charlotte, and two children, Martin
Crawford, and an infant daughter,
Lola Crawford; his mother, Mrs. M.
P, Crawford, and one sister, Mrs.
John H. Poag, of this place; and his
uncle, Dr. M. L. Crawford.
Mr. Crawford, though of a quiet,
unassuming manner, was a public
spirited citizen and took a keen interest
in all that pertained to his
country's welfare. He was a member
and a leading officer in the Presbyterian
church here at the time of
his death. Mr. Crawford's tragic
ending of his life has cast a gloom
over this community, and the news of
his death will no doubt be heard with
sorrow everywhere.
The Advantage.
"But,*' said the young mosquito,
"is not man much stronger than we?"
"He is," replied the fond parent,
"but we may venture to attack him
on account of our superior mobility."

HELD OX ASSAULT CHARGE. SB
Parents of Child Say l^et Law Take'lj
Its Course. ^
York, January 1.?Odessa Good, a|B
negro youth, 16 years old. is in the I
county jail here charged with at- I
tempted criminal assault upon a 6- I
year-old white girl, the daughter of I
a prominent farmer living in Bethel |
township, about ten miles north of B
this place. The crime was committed E
on the premises of the girl's father B
Wednesday afternoon, but was not E
discovered until Thursday. The ne- E
gro, who lives on the same farm with B
his brother-in-law, was arrested E
Thursday afternoon by Constable B
Horace Johnson and brought to jaiL B
here. I
The youth of the negro is said to B
.have saved him from being burned by
outraged citizens of the Bethel community
immediately a:ter the crime
was discovered. The desire of the little
child's parents to let the law take
its course prevented a lynching anyway.
Xo further trouble is expected,
although there is much indignation
throughout this entire section over
the affair.
The child was given prompt medical
attention as soon as her condition
was discovered, and attending physicians
sav she will recover entirely.. K
It is understood that the negro has R
confessed his crime. He appeared sul- I
len and mean when questioned, and B
appeared not to appreciate the serious R
position he is in. He is a grandson
of Giles Good, who with four negroes, H
Prindley Thomson, Bailey Dowdie, H
Dan Roberts and Mose Lipscomb, I
were lynched on the outskirts of this R
town, April 5, 1887, for the murder R
of a white boy in Bullock's Creek
township. B
"I am not expecting trouble over H
this affair," said Sheriff Hugh G.
Brown this morning. "The parents
of the outraged child have expressed
their wish that the law.be allowed to
take its course, and I believe the good
citizens of York county will respect
that wish."
