Chicago is viewing with complacency
the fight in practically all the remain
der of Illinois over prohibition. The
liquor issue does not come before the
voters of that city in any form tomOr-
row, and the fact that the balance of
the state is involved in tumultuous
strife is due to Chicagos influence in
the legislature-the old fight of the
metropolis against the country.
The local option bill as it passed
was designed with the object of rem
dering Chicago immune from prohibit
ton under it's terms.
Due to Vote Trading.
That the law was enacted In its
present form was due to vote trading
Chicago representatives in the legisla-
ture gave it their support in exchange

quently Chicago is looking upon the
lpresent struggle with serenity which
is reflected in the newspapers of that
city. In reviewing the prohibition
fight now near a close, the Chicago

! the newspaper writers, to jump on
Col. Cash with Goth feet. However.
those who read the Ca>n-Shannon
Duel,' written by Col. Cash himself
will admit that they found foeman
worthy Of their steel.
As for Began Cash. his friends
told me that he was the most ma%nl-
hcent specimen Of physical manhood,
they had ever seen. Over SIX teel tall.
Weighing 230 pounds. and Of military
bearing, he was veritable Apollo.
He vas warmnearted and generous to
his friends. cruel, and relentless to
his enemies.
The history of his death, as told
me by his leighbors was about as
follows, as near as memory serves
me after 81 years. One Richards was
chief Of police in Cheraw. He was
something Of a petty tyrant and
bully. He had been tantalized by
those who didn't like him for not ar
resting Began Cash. On one oceas-
ion Began Cash visited Cheraw. For
some cause or pretext. Richards at
tempted to arrest Cash. A fight en-
sued. Cash was badly beaten by
the policeman; but the officer got de-
cidedly the worst Of it.
Some time later on Cash went
again to Cheraw. Again he got into
trouble with Richards AID snot and
killed him. At the same time he ac-
cidentally killed a man by the name
Of Coward. Cash expressed much re-
eret at the killing of Coward. Cash
Immediately rode away to his faith
er's home, six miles from Cheraw and
disappeared.
As usual in such cases everybody
knew where he was and yet no one
knew. He was located everywhere
from Sout:l Carolina to South
America,
Governor Hugh. S. Thompson in
structed State Constable Richburg to
take a picked body of men and 60 to
the home of Col. Cash and arrest Bo-
gan. They proceeded to Cash:'s depot
and made a search for Began, but
without success. They then arrested
Col. Cash as accessory to the killing
of Richards.
Finally Began Cash was located
and betrayed by one Douglass, and
posse headed bv E. T. King (Zeke)
afterwards sheriff Of Chesterfield
county-proceeded by night to the
plantation Of Began Cash on the
Pee Dee river about twelve miles
south Of Cheraw and surrounded
both house and barn.
Receiving i1timation of trouble
Cash came out of the barn heavily
armed. There were two stories as to
what followed. Members Of the
posse say that when Cash appeared
they came out from their places Of
conceaiment and called upon him to
surrender and he raised his gun and
fired, point blank at them, and that
while he was a fine shot no one was
killed. AS Cash would not Surren-
der they shot and killed him and in
support Of this claim it may be men
toned that ne was pierced by only
twenty bullets.
The other version is only that of
some negroes. They say that when
Cash appeared the posse fired at nim
from all sides-that Cash never fired
his eun-that his gun was never fir
ed at all. ". S. Gordon.
