Hamp Jordan, a white man, said to be about 50 years of age, was shot and instantly killed about one mile north of Westville in this county, early Wednesday evening. Coyt Jordan, a lad of about 19 years and a son of the dead man, was held today by a coroner's jury charged with the killing. From the evidence produced at the inquest it was testined that the elder Jordan came home in an intoxicated condition and began a row with the family. He is said to have slapped one of the children and had his knife drawn in the act of attacking another, when Coyt Jordan went outside the house with his shotgun and fired at him through the glass. Thq load took effect in his right eye, killing him instantly. There were four witnesses examined by the coroner's jury, with J. V. Young as foreman, and they all testified practically the same. Some of the witnesses were not members of the family but were visiting at the home at the time. Jordan was a natice of Chesterfield county, but had been residing around Westville for two years or more. The killing occurred about 7 o'clock. Land Sale State of South Carolina. County of Union.

I Washington, Dec. 15.?The attornej i general has asked for the resignatior 1 of C. J. Lyon, United States marshal i of the Western district of South Caroi Una. f Mr. Lyon in Washington today con . ferred with Senators Smith ami Dial and Representatives Byrnes and Mei Swain, and later with the attorney i genei'al. He left tonight for home . without making a statement and without intimating whether or not he i would comply with the request of the f attorney general. i No charges have been preferred t against Mr. Lyon. This is admitted t by the attorney general, but the at1 torney general states that unless Mr, . Lyon does resign, he will order an in. vestigation. It is believed that if jyi . investigation is ordered it will be bas. ed on the manner in which Lyon has f assisted in the enforcement of the i prohibition laws in South Carolina. r If Lyon were permitted to complete , his term he would serve until March, . 1923. That the attorney general is ? desirious of departing from the ad[ ministration policy of permitting | Democratic office holders to complete . their terms is evidently due to presi sure exerted by "deserving" Republii cans hungry for the spoils of office, j It is regarded as highly probable that i the attorney general is moved to pro: ceed against Mr. Lyon because of the difficulty that Joseph Tolbert, Repubt lican referee in South Carolina, has t experienced in efforts to secure for his ; brother, R. R. Tolbert, the office of i internal revenue enllertnr I It is reported that I). H. Blair, com1 missioncr of internal revenue, has . been unwilling to approve the ap pointment of R. R. Tolbert. It is the r gossip tonight that on account of the pressure of Referee Tolbert and the ; obdurancy of Blair, the attorney gen1 eral has decided to eliminate the emi ba rrassing situation by giving the . referee's brother the job of marshal, t While it is the gossip there is nat. urally no outstanding authority to - who "> it can be traced. T action of the attorney general - in pioeeeding against Mr. Lyon in the ; total absence of .charges pending 1 against him. is regarded by Soutb i Carolina congressmen as autocratic 1 and evidence of a complete disregard > for the amenities ordinarily governl ing such situations. r i Expression Recital at , High School Tonight f - The expression pupils of Mrs. Chas s Counts will give their Christmas re " cital tonight at the High School a1 i.

Doc. 15. The body of f Representative John A. Elston of Cal ? ifornia was found floating in the l'<>I teniae river late today. A note found in the congressman's coat said he \vu.]<aught in "a chain of circumstance which spells ruin." ,, Mr. Elston, it was said tonight, dis } appeared iTuesday morning, but was ''found by detectives that evening. ' Within a few hours, however, he again disappeared and that was the last seen of him.

Upon being found that evening he was given medical attention. ' Failure of the government to undertake extensive development of the 1 Alameda, Cal., naval base project was ' understood to have been a cause of great concern to him, as ho had from the first given close attention to this i proposed development. Whether oth1 cr matters pertaining to his district had also weighed upon his mind could not be determined tonight, although 1 it was asserted that he had decided not to stand for reelection next fall. Mr. Elston's hat and overcoat were. I found on the bank of the river about ' i the time the body was recovered. The j I note found on the body said: 1 ] "I am in a chain of circumstances that spells ruin, although my offense | was innocently made in the beginning. I hope all the facts come out. .viy stay means embarrassment to my district and to a1 worthy people, clean and generous."
