make-believe games and insist that
they be carried on. too. One day Aus

playing that they were ships, and he,
standing on the. front was the cap

walked the deck of his vessel, en-
countered pirates and weathered all
kinds OF storms until he felt the floor
positively heave under his feet Mr..
stevenson looked on in perfect a.

doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder Of the two. Finally Austin
got tired Of his vessel, climbed on his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at
tracted his interest. This was too
much for his uncle. Still deep in the
game. Mr.. Stevenson rose in his sick
bed and shouted excitedly at the re-
caicitrant sea captain: Swim. d

BIGHAM.AVANT CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
Argument Heard Tuesday
In Appeal for New Trial.
CASE FULLY REVIEWED
Defendants We're Convicted Last FaII
at Georgetown on Charge of
Killing Mrs. Bigham.

Columbia, April 22-The apneal of
w. b. Avant and DR.. c. G.. Bigham was
argued Tuesday before the supreme
court. Solicitor Wells appearing for
the state. Both men were convicted
In Georgetown county last year, on the
charge of killing Ruth Crisp Bigham,
the wife of Dr.. Bigham, and were given
three years and six months each in
the state pcnitentiary
Immediately after the conviction the
attorneys for both Avant and Bigham
appeared before Judge Watts and ask
ed that new trial be granted This
was refused and ii was intimated that
an appeal would be taken to the SUI
preihe court. No papers We're filed
with the supreme court in the time
limit
Immediately after conviction Avant
who was close friend of Dr. Bigham
and who admitted that he fired the
fatal shot, was brought to the state
pententiary. Just as he was about to
be mustered in as a convict. a message
was received by the officers from the
sheriff of Georgetown county. asking
that AHant be held until further no.
tlce. Later attorneys appeared before
Associate Justice Gary and instituted
habeas corpus proceedings. AS n re-
suit Avant was released from the non
ltehtlarN' upon giving a bond in the
sum of $4,000 pending an appeal. which
was argued Tuesday Nothing as to
the whereabouts of Or. Righam after
his conviction. He was reported TO
have been visiting in Greenville coun-
ty.
Mrs Bigham was shot at Murrel's
Inlet. by w. B. Avant a friend of her
husband. Both her husband and Avant
claimed that they thought she was a
ghost and when the shot was fired
aid not realize that woman had been
killed. Later an investigation was
made and the two men were arrested
and placed on trial in Georgetown
county.
For the defendants a lengthy argu-
ment was made. reviewing the case in
detail. The first point presented was
whether there was sufficient notice of
appeal to give the supreme court iu-
risdiction 1t was the contention that
the question as to when notice of an
peal is given in accordance with the
law had never been raised i'm anv of
the criminal cases decided by the state
supreme court. This point was dis
cussed at length and number of au-
thorities cited bearing on it. An OBJ
lection was made as to the expert
mcnts with reference to light on the
beach, This was done to try to sub
stantiate the contention that Avant
and Bigham could not have recognized
the figure as being a woman.
Solicitor Wells filed his brief to-
gether with few remarks touching
on the case.

There is no doubt in my mind about

tablished the fact that Ignite has a
high heating value, approximateing
that Of anthracite coal. When a more
scientific treatment is given, after
the fuel Is taken from the mine, bet
ter commercial results will be obtain.
ed, thus bringing Ignite into general
use at home, giving the people much
cheaper fuel and developing manufac-
turing on large scale"
Congressman Hanna is quoted as
saying: \,
'"The time ds not far distant when
our fuel deposits win come into Ush-
eral use. The development OF man
ufacturing is certain to follow. for no
where in the world is fuel found in
greater abundance than Ia North D.

And what would the state gat in

from Republican policy (Which might
be improved upon with conscientious
and unselfish leaders at the head) to
Democratic policy; and who is There
among them that is wise enough, and
disinterested enough. and patriotic
enough, Ito accurately define Demo
cratic policy. What would the Demo
cratic harvest be? For an answer to
thda question my fellow Republicans
have but to look back a few years.
"Now, our Democratic friends will
at once exclaim Just think of THAT
awful tariff law you Republicans pass
ed last year' l have thought about
1t a good deal. have also Thought
conside erably about the last Demo.
cratic tariff law. That one was worse
than this one-much worse; and yet
the Democrats said that it was t[he
best taric law ever passed. Was it?
In some places the smoke lis still as
cending from the smolderng wreck.
Are any Democrats defending it to-
day? Are they boasitng Of it's virtues?
Not at all; nor do hear OF amy Re-
pubEfcans, even complaining Repub-
Gcans, who praise it They are all
too busy participating in the general
prosperity that has come about under
Republican tariff laws, which, for
party and factional purposes I fear,
they are denouncing. Is any consdd-
erable number Of Republicans going to
help the DemocrAts kindle another in
dustial and commercial holocaust?
Some Republicans may, but it might
be we'll for the voters to ask thsm why
they are doing It. Perhaps they are
an1ious to get into the payroll Would
The Democsaks put them on. Ask my
intend Governor Burke il he has put
any Of them on.

Had been In the senate I am quite
sure that I would have tried to i'm.

would have helped ito increase the du.

as a tariff for revenue only the

if that has not paralyzed business,

In chasing phantoms. AS a Republi-
can, one that rs not looking for Of

Democratic policy. This preference
is not he result Of hidebound parti-
sanship, for the Congressional Record
win show that l have voted with
Democratic senators number Of
times, always when Thought they
