Goodwin Fatally Injured While Riding Motorcycle on Race Track Thiirsdav and DIpH Saf. urday?His Death a Great Shock to Community. Mr. Jesse M. Goodwin was fatally injured late Thursday afternoon while riding his motorcycle on the race track at the fair grounds. The motorcycle collided with a race cart driven by Mr. Boulware of Fairfield county. In the collission the shaft of the cart penetrated young Goodwin's left breast and entered four and a half inches and punctured the lung tissue. The hickory shaft was snapped off ?U i. - r AI_ _ i? auuui it ib".'> irum i,ne up, snowing tne terrible force with which the collission occurred. Riding on the rear of the motorcycle with Mr. Goodwin was young Aubrey Rice, a lad about eleven years of age. He was severely bruised and it was feared at first that he had been also fatally wounded. But his injury did not prove to be serious and it is thought he will soon ' be fully restored. ' After the horse racing on Thursday there were two young men practicing for the motorcycle races which were < to come off the following day. Mr. Goodwin was riding with them, but had no thought of entering the races. ' He was considered by the motorcycle ' club members the slowest rider of ( them all. He was not given to speed- t ing. The fact is, the motorcycle riders understood that they were to have t the track late Thursday afternoon, t otherwise they would not have gone t upon it. 2 This accident cast a gloom over the ^ entire community. Young Goodwin e was liked by everybody. He was a ^ loyal friend and a man of energy and j < industry. He was a high type of manhood. His life was clean and his buai- ? ness dealings were honorable ?mer#eww" "f He was manager of the Goca-Cola _? Bottling Wbtlcs here andTiaH "buflt *ip * a fin^ business for th& concern. c The burial was at Lima^ church at i Travelers' Rest, Rev. K. E. J_.ee con- j ducting the burial. I Air. Goodwin was 34 years of age, r was a son of the late Dr. H. P. Good- 1 win. He is survived by his mother, * Mrs. Sallie R. Goodwin, and seven I brothers and three sisters. The J brothers are: Messrs. H. P. Goodwin, ( of Greenville; N. C. Goodwin of Lima, ( E. A. Goodwin of Union, J. A. of Sum- I merville, J. Frank of Greenville, Earl 1 and Earnest Goodwin. His surviving 5 sisters are Misses Ulive, Agnes anu Sadie Goodwin. ' The body was laid to rest at 12 o'clock Sunday, the pall bearers be- 1 ing: C. M. McWhirter, C. O. Allen, 1 D. F. Rush, Sam Alton, Walter Willis. 1 and Rush Gray. A number of friends accomanied the body all or part of the way to Trave.er's Rest: C. B. Counts, R. A. Easterling, Dr. R. V. Hawkins, Dr. D. H. Martin, Mrs. Mabrey S. Rice, L. J. Hames, Fred McQuinn and C. M. Mc. ^ Whirter. v The floral tributes were very beautiful and were given by the Baraca class, the Mortorcycle Club, Philathea class, the young men boarding at the house with Mr. Goodwin, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Easterling, L. J. Hames, Chas. W. Goforth, Ernest Spears, D. Fant Gilliam, and the U. C. T.'s of Spartanburp. The hymn, "Nearer My God, to Thee" was sung at the burial by a select choii and was the favorite hymn of the young man. He was a devout Christian and his life was worthily lived. Though cut down in the prime of young manhood, he lived so well that his earthly pilgrimage closed with honor to himself and comfort to those who loved him. A worthy life, a pood name, a firm faith in God ?these are the qualities of heart possessed hv him that bring comfort to those who mourn his death. Dentil of An Aged Woman. Mrs. Hilda Smith aged 93 years, died at Monarch Mills Thursday morning and was buried the following day at Putman church. She was a native of Union county, and leaves a large family of sons, all grown and married. She was the widow of the late Jeffrey Smith. Her surviving sons are Messrs. Marion, John, Giles, William, Gordon and "Buddie" Smith. Mrs. Smith was a good woman, and for many years a devout Christian. She lived a long and useful life. ^ H OF A INENT YOUNG MAN BAPTIST CONVENTION MEETS AT ABBEVILLE SESSION WILL BE HELD DECEMBER 3-6?THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SANITARIUM WILL BE CONSIDERED. Abbeville, Oct. 22.?The Baptist State convention will meet in its 92nd annual session in Abbeville, December 3-6. The Baptist church here is making active prenarations for the enter. tainment of the nearly 400 delegates who are expected to attend. A committee on entertainment has been appointed, as follows: Dr. C. A. Milford, chairman; J. M. Lawton, R. B. Cheatham, A. B. Cheatham, J. S. Stark, W. D. Barksdale, A. H. Barnett, J. W. Nichols, W. H. McFall, R. C. Philson, J. A King, T A. Putnam, J. E. McDavid, W. P. Wham, E. C. Horton, Otto Bristow and Frank B. Jones. This committee has been divided into subcommittees to look after the various matters of preparation for the convention. The South Carolina Baptist conven- ' tion is composed of ministers and laymen, who are elected by the churches. No member has a right to membership in the body by reason of >fTicial position. The basis of representation is one delegate for every 525 contribution to State missions iuiing the year next preceding the convention. Upon this basis there is i possible delegation this year of I .{>00. Everv Histrint nacnpiotmn >perating with the convention is en- ? itled to two delegates at large; and is there are 38 such associations in ' he State, the total possible represenation this year is 1,676. However, he enrollment last year was only 1 116, and together with visitors, there vere present in the convention prob- 1 Jbly 350. There_ will be fqw more han that nupibgj; Abbeville this 3 rear, it is, said/3 ,, , r Probably t^? -pnf ~ ftm'&iis year will be the report of a1 appointed to make a 5boThmendation upon the advisability >f the establishment of a sanitarium n South Carolina by the convention. ; ?his committee consists of the Rev. .ouis Bristow of Abbeville, chair- < nan; the Rev. Z. T. Cody of Greenrille. the Rev. A. T. Jan.ison of Greenwood, the Rev. G. A. V. .ight of 1 Mewberry, the Rev. Howard Lee ' [ones of Charleston, Geo. H. Edwards )f Darlington and J. W. Quattlebaum * )f Anderson. This committee has 1 >een in correspondence with the Bap- 4 ;ists of the state and with Baptist sanitariums in other states, and will 1 report the result of its investigations. Mr. Bristow, chairman of the com- ' mittee, said today that from the let- 1 ters he had received, the sentiment of the Baptist of the State is over- 1 whelmingly in favor of establishing the sanitarium. He has received hundreds of letter from nearly every ?/\nntv nnH verv few of them exDress any opposition whatever. He said he has private information to the effect that a number of towns in the state are ready to make offers of sites and cash to secure the location of the institution, should it be established. The Baptists are by long odds the strongest denomination in the State, and if the convention decides to establish a sanitarium, it will be well taken care of. West End Honor Roll.

NEGRO WAITER IS S BY Ml BULL MOOSERS AT SPARTANBURG CHAIRMAN OF BULL MOOSERS SPEAKS, BUT NOT MUCH DOING?BEARD PLAN'S BLEASE'S FUTURE. Spartanburg, October 23.?B. Sherwood Dunn, of Aiken, provisional state chairman of the Progressive party; W. P. Beard, State secretary, and J. Boyd Evans, an attorney of Columbia, who spoke on two occasions ' in Spartanburg county in the inter- ( ests of the candidacy of Col. Theodore ' Roosevelt failed to arouse a great amount of enthusiasm. Meetings were held in this city and also at Inman, and attentive audiences heard the speakers at both places. It is a significant fact that W. P. Beard, who during the recent memoriable political campaign in South Carolina acted as the personal body guard of Governor Cole L. Blease, has been elected and has accepted the position of secretary of the new party in this State. In a recent statement, however, Mr. Beard stated that he was still the staunch supporter of the Governor, and two years hence would be found working for the election of Blease to the United States Senate, as the Governor will make the race against Senator E. D. Smith. Beard also stated that he would not be a bit surprised to see Mr. Blease elected President of the United States after he had served the country as Senator. Mr. Beard said, in a signed statement: "After we have placed our own Cole in the Senate, myself and others of his friends will seek for him a higher place still, and it is my ambition that fxiture events will shape themselves so that I will, in the near future, be a member of a strong and capable national Convention, which in a receptive mood will back me in naming for theae United States Rev. J. A. Anderson, pastor of MonAetna and Padgett's Creek Baptist churches, has resigned and will probably enter the evangelistic work. Mr. Anderson has been identified with the religious uplift of Union county for several years and it is regretted that he has decided to move. Home-made preserves: 1st, Mrs. R. S. Foster; 2nd, Mrs. E.

C. Sanders, clerk, in the hotel lobby, is improving rapidly, according to City Physician W. H. Rice, who is attending the injured man. The bullet, a 38 caliber, penetrated the flesh of the left thigh. i ne negro win soon oe uui. F. S. Wheeler, proprietor of the Columbia hotel, this morning told a Record reporter the story of the shooting. He said that the Smith negro and one or two other waiters were in the dining room of the hotel raising some disturbance and they had been drinking. Sanders went to the dining room and told them to stop making the disturbance. According to Mr. Wheeler, the Smith negro had been paid his wages at various times; whenever he asked for any money. However, yesterday he (Mr. Wheeler) told Sanders not to let the negro have any money as he was drinking. Soon after Sanders left the dining room after telling the waiters to stop raising a disturbance the Smith negro came down to the lobby and asked Sanders to give him some money. Upon the refusal of Sanders to comply with his request, the negro cursed Sanders and made a motion towards his pocket. Sanders then shot him. Sanders was behind the registry desk and the negro a few feet away in the lobby. Sanders was released last night on _ OOAA 1 A u uunu. PtWlrWWaived.

The defendant will appear at the January term of court of general sessions for trial on the charge of assault and battery with in- ? tent to kill. At police court this morning the recorder questioned C. Kertcher of New York, a traveling man who was in the lobby at the time of the shooting, relative to what he knew concerning the trouble. Mr. Kertcher did not see the actual shooting and accordingly he was not detained as a Senders is a son of a former sheriff of Union county. Death of Mr. Happerfield.
