people. The officers of the Chamber

to co-operate In buying a carload or

MKS. J. E. MCCUTCHEN IS DEAD
PROM SHOCK.
Mr. McCutchen Himself and Daughter
aro In Serious condition From Mis?
hap.
BIshopville, May 27.?The usual
quiet of 'the country Sabbath was
broken here today an:l the whole
community shocked when it be?
came known that In an automobile
accident which had befallen the car
of James Edward McCutchen, Sr.,
his most estimable wife had lost her
life and Mr. McCutchen himself and
his only daughter, Minnie, had sus?
tained injuries and shock which it Is
feared may prove fatal to both, espe?
cially to Mr. McCutchen, who is
nearly 70 years of age.
The accident happened while the
family was returning from services
at old Mount ?ion church. Making
a sharp turn in the road, the front
wheels ran into a hole. This caused
the car to turn turtle and the shock
was so great that Mrs. McCutchen
died almost instantly. Mr. McCutch?
en is suffering from .shock and it is
feared that Miss Minnie McCutchen,
who was driving and was pinned un?
der the motor, is suffering from inter?
nal injuries which may prove fatal.
Injured Will Probably Recover.
Wisacky, May 28.?The shock that
the people of this community sustain?
ed yesterday afternoon by the death
of Mrs. James Edward McCutchen and
the serious Injury of Mr. McCutchen
and Miss Minnie McCf.tchen in an au?
tomobile, was in some measure les?
sened and the sorrow that is uni
versally felt waR mitigated this mom
ing by the encouraging; report* that
the Injuries of Mr. McCutchen and hla
daughter were not as serious as at
first feared and that they both will
probably recover. They are painfully,
probably seriously, but not fatally In?
jured.
The funeral services for Mrs. Mc?
Cutchen will be held at Bishopvtlle
this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock.
The Confederate Veterans of Sum
ter county will be entertained at the
annual dinner to them given k^ Dick
Anderson Chapter, U. D. C, on the
Court House grounds, at one o'clock
Friday, June 1st. The Daughters are
hoping that a large number of vet?
erans will be present on this occa?
sion.
Reports have reached this news?
paper that some mistaken and foolish
self-appointed leaders are advising
young negroes, who are liable to mili?
tary service, not to register on June
5th. This is the worst advice that
they could give, for the federal au?
thorities are determined that no man,
white or black, between 21 and 31
years old shall escape registration,
and those who fail to register will
be apprehended and punished. Those
who obstruct and advise against reg?
istration will be punished even more
severely than those who do not reg?
ister. Comparatively few of the
whole number that register will be
called into service, but the United
States government reserves to itself
the right to say who shall be exempt
and who shall serve in the army. The
government is in no humor for fool?
ishness, and no man, white or black,
can safely undertake to interfere with
the registration ordered on June 5th.
