ing the fair should be here not later
than Nov. 9th. So that it can be
placed to the best advantage, with
the large number of things that are
to be shown it will be impossible to
show them to the best advantage if
"they are all sent in here after the
fair is open. These things will be
shown in the main fair building, (100
ft. by 30 ft.) on tables and counters,
and it will take sometime to classify
and arrange them, put your name
and the number of things that you
expect to exhibit on a postal card; the
superintendent will send you entry
tags to be fastened to the articles.
These have to be put on so they can
be put in the proper division, and
class. The Supt. will be very glad
for any help in placing these exhi
bits. and will allow any one that
w ishes to bring his or her farm ex
hibit to put it together in the build- nESTM-AF HD I D IIINIIC

ter, Mrs. C. S. Gadsden, of Charles
ton, and a brother. Dr. Edward Mor

For fifty \ears Mr. Morrall has
been a minister of the Baptist
Church, and has tilled many positions
of importance in the church, for
many years beingHhe corresponding
secretary of the Baptist State mis
sion board. From 1873 up to the
death of his wife, his home was at
Allendale, and for many years he
was pastor of the church there. For
the past four years he has not«erved
any church regularly. »
Mr. Morrall was a gentleman of
the old school and was loved by all
who knew ^iim. A wide circle of
friends over the State will be grieved
to learn of his death.
C(>rPON BALLOT
, tery immediately after the funeral
exercises, which were held at his
home st 10:30 o’clock, being con
ducted by Rev. Inabinet, pastor of
the Methodist church. The local
camp Woodman of the World, were
present in a body and furnished the
pall bearers, although the funeral
was not conducted by the camp.
The funeral is said to have been the
largest ever held in this section of
the county, attesting the very great
popularity of Dr. Ackerman.
Dr. Ackerman was the youngest
son but one of J. D. Ackerman, Sr.,
and is survived by his wife, his father,
his brothers, Henry- S., J. D. Jr.,
Dr. Riddick Ackerman of Walter
boro, Luther M., and his sister, Mrs.
B. G. Willis of Cottageville. He
would have been 27 years old the
27th of November. He graduated
a terboro t at the Southern Dental College of
Atlanta in 190b, and was associated
one year with Dr. H. W. Black of

w’hen Mr. Padgett shot Jim Price,
inflicting a painful if not fatal
wound, the ball entering right eye
and lodging in back of neck.
There are many accounts of thu
shooting, hut it seems that the fol
lowing is perhaps as true a state
ment as can be obtained: There was
a game of ball played at Berea Sat
urday afternoon and at its conclu
sion an ice cream festival was held.
Among those in attendance were
Jim Price who appeared to be drink
ing heavily, while in Mr. Padgett’^
store. Price used some profane or
improper language in the presence
of some ladies, Padgett remonstrated
and Price began to curse and abuse
him, going so far as to threaten to
kill him and drew his pi»tol. As
soon as he did, Padgett grabbed his
pistol from a shelf and fired, a phy
sician was summoned who endeav
ored to locate the hall. He was un
successful. The latest reports from
Price is that w’hile he is dangerously
shot, the wound may not prove fatal.
It seems to be the general sentiment
that Padgett is not to blame, and it
is said to he lYice’s wish that. he be
not prosecuted. The affair is re
gretted by all.
It will be tec-ailed that Price killed
Willie Redish and is now on bail, the
to agree on a
work, etc, etc, are under the super
vision of Miss Harley, who will be in
the building for a week ahead of
time to help these who expect to ex
hibit, hang the quilts, and place the
fancy work. I would suggest that
this be brought the day before, if
you have your entry tags made out,
if not, please get them from the
Superintendent sometime before the
9th, for nothing can be entered
after that without some very good
excuse. Send the things or bring
them, and place them yourself, we
will take care of them for you. A
watchman will be in the building all
the time, day and night, and all
reasonable precautions will be taken
to keep them safe.
Those exhibiting live stock, if you
have your entry cards, you can put
the stock in the pens before 8 o’clock
on Thursday morning, the 11th, of
Nov. Hogs; and cattle from a dis
tance had better be put in the pens
the day before, they will have
plenty of water, and you bring your
own feed for them, horses and mules
and colts can also be put in the day
before. If desired, the Association
will procure stables in town if neces
sary by inclement weather for keep*-
ing the horses and mules in at night.
Remember this, this is no one
man's fair, it is distinctly a County
Fair, and to be a success as such
needs the ‘co-operation of every
person in the county, it is impossible
for the Superintendent to see every
one who might make an exhibit.
He can't look each one of you up., it
is a lot easier for you to write him
or look him up, and Just to show
you that what you have is gcod
enough to show. We know of one

EDWARD SHEFFELL SHOT.
Saturday night Trottie Riley gave
a hot supper ai his house on Solici
tor Peurifoy’s place and invited his
neighbors in to aid him in celebrat
ing the event. They come, some of
them under the influence of “fus x”
and as a result a scuffle ensued be
tween Sheffell and another negro.
Riley told them they should behave
and, it is said, immediately opened
fire with his pistol. As a result
Sheffell was shot in the small of the
back and a serious and probably
fatal wound was . inflicted. Dr.
Stokes was called in but could not lo
cate the bullet. There is little hope
for Sheffell. Trottie was arrested
and is in jail awaiting the result of
Sheffell's wounds.

ing will be addressed by several
prominent speakers, who will try to
clear up the atmosphere of haziness
that now seems to overhang the
project. It is hoped that those who
are interested both in town and
county will arrange to attend this
meeting so that all can get together
and work to really make the fair
what it aims to be, a county fair,
and not a fair gotten up by the
Superintendant, which is a matter
of impossibility, no one man or set
of men can hope to get up a repres
entative exhibit of .the resources of
a county such as ours it is essentially
necessary that every person in the
county take an interest and work
for the success of the project, do
not leave it to a few of the public
spirited merchants in the town of
Walterboro, or a few of the mem
bers of the Walterboro liar come out
to the meeting, and at least lend the
weight of your presence to those
who are trying to arouse an interest
in the face of almost insuperable
indifference and misunderstandings.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEET.
Notice is given elsewhere by
County Chahman, M. P. Howell, cal
ling the County Executive Commit
tee to meet at the Court House here
on the 25th of October, for the pur
pose of arranging a special election
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Hon. D. C. Sanders.
It is probable that the first primary
to elect this successor will be held
Thursday, Nov. 9th, and the second
primary, if necessary, November
23rd.
The general election has been
ordered by Speaker Whaley of the
House of Representatives, to be held
Tuesday, the 7th day of December.
Considerable interest is being
taken just now in this county as to
the successor of Mr. Sanders. No
announcement has yet been made as
to who will be the candidates, but
there will probably be several. The
concensus of opinion seems to be
that the position should be filled by a
4jr, Senator GrMfinf^ti**® of St. Paul’s, or at least by
one whom they endorse for the
office.

hard to do. Four valuable Keen
Kutter prizes will be given to the
four persons first putting the puzzle
together correctly in an hour’s time.
Two of the prizes have been won
so far, the first, a box of tools by
W. W. Smoak, Jr., who took 44 min
