TARPLEY'S EVIDENCE
(contlnued from page one }

Mays should be admitted as evidence
against Hermann; the other wheth-
er the declaration of Mays was adj
missable, coming as it did from Tar
pley and the others.
The conspiracy charged, the
court said, that a plan had been
formed by which the conspirators
would procure state school funds
fraudulently and that all the par
ties to the indictment were concern
ed in securing title to the lands in
question prior to the creation of the
reserve.
The court held that the conspira-
cy was the offense, under the law,
and that while It was necessary to
prove an overt act done in the fur
therance of the conspiracy. yet at
the same time the substance of the
offense against the law consisted in
the conspiracy itself In order to
form a conspiracy, the court said
an agreement must be entered into
between the conspirators. 1t is sell
dom that such an agreement could
be proved in court by this explicit
agreement. 1t became necessary, to
show a concert of action.
Judge Wolverton held that the
trial of the present case did not diff
fer materially with Hermann alone
as defendant, than had all the de-
PENDANTS under the Indictment been
on trial together.
Had all the defendants been on
trial the Objectionable evidence
would have been admissable, not as
against Hermann, possibly, but to
show what all afidavits had been do
ing.

If this percentage is maintained,
the Liberals will have but 2S4 par

BY the same estimate the cores

would give them SO3 seats.

would be able practically to control

Tired of Eluding Police.

Lancaster, Sept. 27.-George
Sweat, white man, charged with burg
larry and larceny-breaking into the
residence of Roy Cunningham and
taking a pistol some weeks ago-and
who has been out of the State since,
returned to Lancaster yesterday and
voluntarily surrendered to Sheriff
Hunter, who at the time was in his
Office in the act of writing telegram
to the chief of police of Cincinnati
requesting the arrest of Sweat, hav-
ing learned that he was in that city.
It seems that Sweat visited Cincin-
natl. Richmond and several other
cities during his absence. He came
near being caught while in Richmond,
at the instance of Sheriff Hunter, who
was constantly endeavoring to To-
cate him.

A Bit Hasty.

The esteemed Bamberg Herald is a
bit hasty in it's onslaught on the prl-
mary system. AS a system it is an ad-
mirable thing, in theory. In actual
working, it sometimes plays the mis-
chief with favorite candidates.; but
this is not the fault of the system.
The fault lies in the administration
thereof and in the letting alone OF
certain patent defects in the system
which should be remedied.
In calm and philosophical moods,
the esteemed Herald will not be
against the primary. 1t must have
been stamped by the pain and dis
gust of certain events of recent oc-
currence, but something that cannot
now be helped.
What it needs to do and what all of
us need to do is to bend our energies
and efforts to have the same primary
system improved and have these
qualifications made necessary which
all of us know should be there.
These will not suit some our melo-
dramatic statesmanesque dema-
gogues. These high-fown savers OF
the State, forid as to manner Of life
as we'll as of rhetoric find such at
tempts to raise the standard of citi-
zenship fine political thunder to use
in appealing to ''the boys" Men like
John McMahan, of Columbia, are not
afraid to advocate the plan, even If
political death follows, but in the
case of McMahan, it is to be hoped
that his defeat for the legislature in
Richland is only temporary set
back.
No real citizen, no man feeling the
responsibilities of citizenship will
ever be deprived of his ballot, but this
present practice of allowing every
Tom, Dick and Harry to vote, re-
gardless of whether he has sense
enough to read his ballot, is most
dangerous condition of our political
life and the longer it is allowed to
continue, the harder it will be to
correct.
To this end let the worthy and es-
teemed Herald and all other patriotic
neWspapers lend all their energy and
Influence" if any there be.-Green-

STATEMENT IN MILLS CASE.
Presiding Elder Gives Facts in I'm.
fortunate Rock Hill Matter.

Rock Hill, September, 27.-The
following paper, which is an official
statement from Presiding Elder
O'Dell, of this district, is explana-
tory of the Rev. H. R. Mills's re-
quest to be relieved of his charge as
minister of st. Johns Methodist
Episcopal church, OF this city. All
parties concerned have the sympathy
of the community.
The action of the committee makes
it necessary for a trial to be held be-
fore the next State Conference.
Presiding Elder O'Dell's statement
is as follows: "Inasmuch as the press
will, in al! probability, send out re-
ports involving the Rev. H. R. Mills,
of the South Carolina Conference, I
deem it my duty to the church and to
Brother and Mrs. Mills to give the
facts to the public.
ION Thursday, September %,
Brother Mills came to me anu tolo
me that he was in trouble. That he
and his wife could not live together
any longer, and asked that I re-
lease him from his work, as he would
feel a delicacy in appearing before
his congregation under the circum-
stances. Having no authority to re-
lease him, told him that the best
and only thing to do was to have the
matter investigated in due form by
a committee. To this he readily con-
sented, and expressed a desire that
it be done as quickly as possible.
''I appointed an investigating COM
mittee, consisting of the Revs. NJ. NJ.
Brabham, D. NJ. Mcleod and S. D.
Bailey. They very carefully investi-
gated the matter and reported that a
trial was deemed necessary. There
was nothing of scandalizing nature
charged by either Mrs. Mills or Mr..
Mills, the sole specification in the
charge being that Mr.. Mills had
separated from his wife for other
than the one Scriptural reason. The
above is in brief a fair statement of
the case

SHORTAGE AT PISTOL POINT?
Remarkable Statement Made by
Bank Examiner.

Was the signed statement by the
book-keeper of the Hampton Loan &
Exchange Bank to the effect that he
was short in his accounts to the ex-
tent of approximately $1,000, secured
at the point of pistol? This is the
question that will have to be decided
when the Hampton county court
hears the case against the book-keep-
er of the bank who has been charged
with embezzlemeHt to the extent of
about $1,000.
"a few days after signing this
statement" says Giles L. Wilson, the
State bank examiner, in a report to
the State treasurer on the alleged
shortage, however, the book-keeper
brought charges against the cashier,
stating that the cashier was the man
who had taken the money, and that
this so-called signed confession of
the book-keeper was obtained from
ullu dI luS pOluI VI q piolOi'
Basis of Question.
This statement is the basis for the
question of whether the cashier
forced the book-keeper of the bank to
make a confession as to the short
age.
The report of the State bank exami-
ner as to the Hampton shortage was
made several days ago to the State
treasurer. The case was referred to
Attorney General Lyon, who sent the
papers to Solicitor Byrnes to prose-
cute. The report of the State bank
examiner on the case is of several
typewriter pages covering all of the
work. He does not mention the name
of any of the officers of the bank,
referring to them in their official
capacity.
Official Report.
"On the 30th of July the cashier
discharged the book-keeper," says the
bank examiner, being actuated
thereto by the belief that his records
were not absolutely straight. Later
on the same day the book-keeper
signed a detailed written confession,
acknowledging that his books were
incorrect and giving items and
amounts. The cashier then employed
the Southeastern Audit company of
Columbia to make a thorough audit
of the bank. The audit was completed
on Saturday last. My visit disclosed
that there is a shortage of at least
$1,000, which the cashier accuses the
book-keeper of having taken, and
which the book-keeper has confessed
in a signed statement" The bank ex-
aminer then relates the charges as
to the book-keeper being forced to
sign the confession.
The book-keeper of the bank was
under bond of several thousand dol
lars, and it is expected that this will
result in a suit and criminal prose
cutions will follow.
R. o. Borden is cashier of the bank,
and Harold Horton was the book
keeper er.-Columbia State.

Its Use BY Astronomers In Their Study
of the Stars.
The threads of the garden spider are
fixed by astronomers In their tele-
scopes for the purpose of giving fine
lines to the field of view by which the
relative positions of stars may be &C
curately measured.
For a century astronomers desired
to make use OF such lines of the great
est possible fineness and procured at
first silver wire dawn out TO the ex-
treme- limit of tenuity attainable with
that metal. They also tried hairs one
five-hundredth of an inch thick and
threads of the silkworm'S cocoon,
which are split into two component
threads, each only one two-thousandth
OF an inch thick But in 1920 an Eng
lish instrument maker named Trough
ton introduced the spiders line. This

the thickness of the silkworm's thread
and has also advantages in its strength
and freedom from twist.
In order to obtain the thread the
spider is carefully fixed on a minia-
ture rack, and the thread, which at
the moment OF issue from the body is
a viscid liquid, is made to adhere to
a winder, by turning which the desired
length of firm but elastic thread can
be procured.-London Graphic.
