= The Walterboro Press and Stand
ard prints the following story Of a
lively time In Walterboro on Monday
at a trial in which L. H. Zeigler, cap
tain Of the county chaingang, was be-
ing tried for breaking up a religious
service several weeks ago by attempt
ing to horsewhip the minister. End
ing in a free-for-all fight, the Zeigler
case was again continued Monday, at
which time an attempt was made to
try 1t before Judge Chaplin. There
was a skirmish between the lawyers as
to whether or not Jurisdiction had
been transferred by Magistrate Bryan
to Magistrate Chaplin, and about the
time the arguments were in on this
point, L. H. Zeigler, applied a very
vile epithet to s. N. Hiott one OF
the officers Of the church and prose
cutting witness. Mr.. Hiott went for
Zeigler. 1t seems that Hiott knocked
Zeigler down and got on him. Soon
there was general mix-up In which
Errett Hiott. a brother Of s. NJ, A,
H. Herndon, Willie Zeigler, Uncle
Duffie' HERS, Paul Herndon and some
others engaged. The result Of this en-
counter was a few bruised faces and
the continuance Of the case. Not sat-
isfied with the accomplishments OF
this place, Zeigler went up town to
hunt the editor Of the Press and
Standard, who had incurred his dis
pleasure by publishing the fact that he
had broken up religious service. He
did not have far to go, as the editor
was at Glover's corner Zeigler began
to abuse the editor and state that GER
tain facts published were not true. The
editor explained to Zeigler that the
story was obtained from himself. This
Zeigler characterized as lie, and was
struck by the editor. A fisticuff fol-
lowed, in which the editor landed sew
eral blows. Zeigler jumped back and
attempted to draw his pistol. JOS. M.
Moorer and Capt II. d. Padgett, who
were standing near, took II away from
him and, friends intervening, the
.combatants were separated. Later
friends, was making his way toward
the Press and Standard office and had
reached the Witsell store. Claude A.
Graves, foreman Of the Press and
Standard, came up, and having
been told that the editor had
been 'ganged' did not stop to reason
why, but waded right In. The first
person to get in his way was Zeigler
who was knocked backward against
the brick wall Of the store, having q
pretty bad cash cut In his head"
- Spartanburg, Journal, Wednesday
Mr.. Turner, in charge of the local sta
tion of the bureau Of entomology OF
the United States department of agri-
culture, Wednesday afternoon inspect
ed a number of trees which were eth
er dead or dying. These trees are To-
Gated on the farm Of ]. F. and Brian
Floyd, near Drayton' mills. The trees
were found to be dead or in a dying
condition and the government experts
state that the cause Of the condition
of this timber Is the invasion Of the
pine tree beetle the insect that this
station was located here In order to
fight. The beetles as found on the
Floyd farm were very bad and have
already caused the death of numerous
trees 1t was In what the experts
known Is the second generation. Spe-
n ~ thn o,.lr 80 fhn ohnrf,
ing the work Of the beetle were
bureau, which are located in the Ken
nedy block. These government ex-
perts are desirous to have all owners
of timber who have noted dead or dy-
ing trees on their farms report such
cases to them, and efforts to fight the
beetle successfully and to give scien-
tific advice will be made. AS the
Journal has stated before, to fight the
threatened outbreak Of the southern
pine beetle, bark boring insect, which
caused enormous damage to healthy
living timber in the Virginias in the
early '90's, and which has recently
been reported in different sections OF
the south, a forest insect field station
has been established here by the bu-
reau of entomology of the United
States department Of agriculture. II
Is feared that unless measures are
taken for the control Of this insect II
will cause the loss Of millions Of dol
lars worth of pine, and the station has
been established here for the purpose
Of securing first hand information and
for giving direct free instruction to
timber owners on the most economical
and effectual methods of controlling
the beetle. The bureaus experts have
discovered methods by which the bee
tie can be controlled In some cases
by the profitable utilization Of the in
fected timber and in all cases at q
moderate direct expense. Timber own
ers should communicate either with
the station here or the bureau at
Washington. Recognizing the i'm
portance of concerted action and that
the danger Is common to the whole
south, the Southern railway is en-
deavoring to call the attention Of tim
the activity of the bureau in this mat
identical with theirs.

cry mill at the state penitentiary will

mittee Of the state board Of health In
session yesterday came to the conclu-
sion that the board has no right to Or
der the board of directors Of the pris-

board could act only in an advisory
capacity. This announcement was
made following conference with At

general discussed with the board the
legal questions involved and gave the
opinion that the board Of health is the
sole adviser on all questions involving
public health. A written opinion will
later be sent to the board by the at
torney general. The board Of direc-
tors Of the prison several days ago re-
fused to abolish the mill after consid-
ering a letter from Gov. Blease de-
manding this action. The chief exec
utive had already addressed a letter
to DR.. Robert Wilson, Jr., Of Charles
ton, the chairman of the state board
of health, in which he asked for a
statement as to the right Of the board
to take this step. The meeting yester-
day was for the purpose of consider
ing the letter from the governor. Sew
eral weeks ago the board Of health
made report on the sanitary condition
