Evidence in Bigham Tragedy.

Laurens, S. c., September H.
The fact, as stated in the George
town specials to the daily press
that Mr.. Matthew B. Crisp, father
of Mrs. C. C. Bigham, who
met such a tragic death several
days ago at Murrell's Inlet, would
not appear in the prosecution of DR..
Bigham and Mr.. W. B. Avant, has
been rather a feature of the unfor-
tunate case and has caused much
comment. While receiving no direct
statement from Mr.. Crisp himself,
this correspondent learns to-day on
reliable authority that Mr.. Crisp has
withdrawn his objections to the
prosecution and will assist the solici-
tor il every way possible. This is
one of the results Of visit to this
county by Solicitor Walter H. Wells
of the Twelfth circuit during the
past few. days.
Solicitor Wells has been in this
community for several days gather
ing data upon which to base the
prosecution. His visits were made
particularly to Mountville and Water
loo, the former home of the deceased
woman and where number of her
relatives still reside. The facts that
he gathered, it is understood, will
throw much light on the tragedy, as
the Investigation was thorough and
searching.
When Mr.. Crisp returned from
Georgetown, where he was quoted as
being opposed to the prosecution Of
the two men, so convinced was he
that the whole affair was a terrible
mistake and an accident, he is said
to have repeated his belief to friends
at Mountville-that the men were
innocent of design. Doubtless his
view has been changed by knowledge
of what the witnesses from Murrell's
Inlet will testify, as conveyed to him
by Solicitor Wells.
In the investigation at Mountville
and Waterloo, it is understood here
on good authority, facts were brought
to light that will tend to show un-
happy marital relations. This is
based on the fact that Mrs. Bigham,
when at her old home some few
weeks ago on a visit and receiving
letters and kilograms from her hus-
band to return home at once, ex-
pressed reluctance at the idea of 60
ing and even wept when she, pressed
with the letters and kilograms, re-
allied that she must return to her
husband.
Upon investigation this CORES
pondent finds that DR.. Bigham was
not we'll thought Of at Mountville by
a great many people. He resided
there for short time while practic-
ing his profession. The story of the
killing as related by Bigham and
Avant is not generally accepted at
Mountville nor in Laurens. People
who knew Mrs. Bigham best declare
that she was very timid and especi-
ally of the dark; that she would not
venture out Of the house after night
fall. No one seems to believe that
any act of hers justified the killing.

SERMONS THAT SAVE.

One of our exchanges has come to the
conclusion that the sermons that save
must sound an alarm. Knowing the
terror of the law, we persuade men. No
gllttering generalities, no rhetorical
niceties; the message must ring out
like fire bell; it must echo like
drum beat before the battle; it must
peal like the shrill blast of the watch
mans trumpet when danger is near; it
must declare the whole counsel OF God.
That means denuncistion of sin, the
necessity of repentance. the certainty
of judgment throne, an eternal hell
for the finally impenitent, salvation by
faith, and cleansing through the blood
of the Redeemer. May the walls Of our
churches resound with such preaching.
Then will they be filled with people and
with salvation.

KEEPING PROMISES:

If there is one man or woman who
deserves the good opinion of all, it is
the one who pays his debts; and if there
is another, it is the one who is on time.
The two belong in the same class, the
class that keeps promises.
This is an honest old world, and it's
commercial fabric Is based on faith that
people will meet their obligations.
Some people say that a man who won't
pay his debts will steal. Perhaps this
is not exactly true, but the nor. ebt-
payer certainly does an injustice to
those with whom he deals.
Close behind him in the class of un-
desirable citizens comes the person who
makes promises he never expects to
keep, engagements that he does not in
tend to fill. A minor member of this
crew is the man or woman who is al
ways late, Many OF us have wasted
valuable hours, that we could count
without an adding machine, waiting for
people who have no.intention of keeping
their appointments.
The man who pays his debts, the man
who keeps his promises, the man who il
on time, deserves wreath OF apprecia.

SIMPLY A PERNICIOUS PRACTICE.
Circulating a Prayer With a Threat
Attached; Citizens Are Aroused.

FROM lSeSOaVS DalIv
Ono of the readers of The Frcss
Press calls attention to comunica-
ton in the form of can Ancient
Prayer that has been received by citi-
zens of Alankato, and word in print
concerning its circulation may not be
out OF place. 1t is a chain prayer and
the person who receives il is asked to
copy it for nine successive days and
send to nine friends. with the request
that each do the same, and also added
to it is threat that some great mis-
fortune will come to the person who
does not follow the iniunctions and
that a great blessing will come to the
ones who do acquiesce. The prayer in
itself is Il devout one and worthy of
consideration, but when threat is
added to it aud sent broadcast, it
would seem in the opinion of many
good people that it is goin. Il step too
far. These same communications have
been received by the people in Man

GRAVEL HAULING is PROGRESSING
Much Work Has Been Done on Roads
Leading Into MankatO.
From TUESDAYS Tally


The work of graveling the roads
leading into Mankato is progressing
rapidly as the winter draws toward Il
close. Up to the present time $500
loads of gravel have been hauled upon
the Mapletou and poor farm roads, by
the farmers living along those roads.
Single farmers have hauled as much as
100 to 200 loads each, and others lesser
amounts, and too much credit cannot
be given them. Public spirit and sell
interest have both appealed to them,
for what they have done on the roads
will benefit themselves equally with the
general public
Considerable gravel has been hauled
on the Eagle Lake road and the high
way will be greatly improved. 1t is
intended to ask that the mexpcnded
baiance of the appropriation be held
over until next winter, so that the
work can then be completed. Gravel
will be hauled this winter as long as
the sleighing lasts. but it is thought
that the work cannot be completed.
