COW MOOSE SnOu, CdrCdSS SCOIen.
Herman j. Scammon was in the vicin-
ity of Washington Junction Sunday,
when he saw bull and COW moose in a
field. He says he fired at the bull, which
went down on its knees, but got up again
and the animals started off.
Scammons gave chase to head them off,
and fired again at the bull as they crossed
road. When ne reach the point where
the animals had jumped fence out of the
road, he found he had killed the cow.
He notified Game arden Michael A.
Shea, who went to the spot and brought
the carcass to his barn on the eastern
road, where he left it for the night. Some
time during the night someone entered
the barn and stole the hind quarters OF
the moose.
Scammons was arraigned in the Els
worth municipal court this afternoon, on
complaint of Game Warden Shea. He
pleaded guilty, explaining that he was
misled into believing the animal was a
bull when he fired. In consideration of
all the circumstances in the case, Judge
Hall, after imposing fine of 800 and
costs, suspended execution of sentence
upon payment by respondent of 80 with
out costs.
George B. Stuart appeared for the State
and l.. F. Giles for respondent.
No warrant has yet been issued for the
theft of the carcass, though there are
strong clues as to the guilty party.
This afternoon word comes Of the shoot
ing of another COW moose in the same
vicinity this forenoon.

MURDER OR ACCIDENT !?
CAPT. HARRY O. YOUNG, OF
SURRY, THE VICTIM.
BODY FOUND UNDER BRIDGE IN sURRY
VILLAGE EARLY THIS MORNING
SUSPICIOUS FEATURES.

The body OF Capt. Harry c. Young, of
Surry, was found at 1 o'clock this morn
ing under the bridge crossing Patterns
pond stream, in Surry village. Circum-
stances suggest either accident or foul
play. There seems little grounds for sus-
picion Of suicide, except that Capt.
Young was known to be in poor health.
The circumstances seem to disprcye the
suicide theory.
Capt. Young, who kept small general
store in Surry, just off the main street on
the North Bend road, was in the habit of
leaving fhe store between and $50 in the
evening. He always carried the money
from the store with him, having no safe,
and he was known to have some bills in a
wallet last night. He was last seen in the
store about O'Clock in the evening. The
way home was but short distance along
the main street, across the bridge.
HIS WIFE ALARMED.
When he did not return home at his ac-
customed hour, Mrs. Young became
alarmed, but did not institute a search for
him until near midnight. Going herself
| to the store, she discovered some grapes
scattered on the bridge. Knowing that
Capt. Young was to bring home some
grapes, she at once became suspicious, and
notified Henry Shapleigh of her find. Mr.
Shapleigh Immediately searched the To-
| cality and found the body.
The bridge is about fifteen feet above
the surface Of the stream. The body lay
| just beneath the upper edge of the bridge
| the sidewalk side-along which there is {
wooden railing about p feet high. Tn,
body was caught on a log and rocks, ant
was only partially in the water. Their
was a small cut on the head just abov,
the forehead. Capt. Young's watch wa
| in the pocket, and running. A purse con
tanning some small change was also founc
| on the body. The wallet containing bill
was missing.
| Capt. Young's hat, grape basket and 1
| bag OF beans which he was known to have
| with him, were found some distance dowI
| the stream.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.
The most suspicious circumstance in the
case, aside from the missing wallet, which
may have been swept away by the strong
current OF the stream, is the hnuinS u
drops of blood on the bridge and sidewalk
| indicating that Capt. Young must have
received the cut on his head before falling
| from the bridge.
The theory OF those who do not accept
| the theory of foul play is that Capt
Young fell on or near the bridge, receiv-
| ing the cut on his head, and, in a dazed
| condition, fell or rolled from the bridge.
Capt Young was in poor health, suf-
| fering, his physician believes, from can
| Ger OF the stomach. He was subject tc
| severe cramps. 1t is possible that he was
| taken suddenly ill on his way home.

with a network Of railroads, radiating
from nine of the larger towns. The
Approximate area of the twenty-nine
counties totals 1880 square miles, or
about 11,250,000 acres, of which ap-
proximately 100000 are in cultiva
ton. Allowing for the waste land on
account of branches and flats that are
unfit for cultivation, there are ap
proximately 100000 acres availa-
BILE.
The land lies in gently rolling
ridges, so slightly rolling that it is un-
necessary to terrace the land to prevent
washing or soil erosion. The soil IS
generally a red or brown pebbly top
soil. underlaid with the stiff clay sub
soil. The lands are thoroughly water
ed with numerous branches and
creeks. The average rainfall is about
40 inches. The lands are thoroughly
adapted to a wide variety of crops, in
cluding cotton, corn, wheat, oats, hay,
sugar cane, sweet potatoes, all kinds of
vegetables, pasture grasses, velvet
beans and soy beans 1t is a fact
that these twenty-nine counties form
an area that produces a greater varie-
ty of valuable crops than any similar
area in the United States.
THE average yield of crops in this
section show about as follows: Oats
from 40 to SO bushels to the acre, fol-
lowed by peavines, crabgrass hay
making from / to 1 1-2 tons to the
acre, giving two profitable crops Oh
| the same acre, and it is also possible
| to make crop of oats, corn and hay
en- the same land because of the ione
growing season; corn from so to 15C
bushels per acre; syrup from 300 tt
| 500 gallons per acre; sweet potatoes
| from 200 to 400 bushels per acre. In
cidents are recalled of Clay count!

a Terrell county man who grew LA
bushels corn on ten acres; thre'
Thomas county men who made respec
lively 1852 S235 and 1921 on an acr
of sugar cane.
"The climate of the section show
that the average temperature is abou
40 degrees, the summer averagin
around 80, running as high as 100 ono
or twice a year, and as low as so.
Good land, capable of the hlghes
state of cultivation can be purchase

There is only one recommendation
in which | cannot agree-that is one
which recommends that the telegraph
lines in the United States should be
made a part of the postal system and
operated in conjunction with the mail
system. This presents a question of
government ownership of public utili-
ties which are now being conducted
by private enterprises under fran
chises from the government
q believe that the true principle
is that private enterprise should be
permitted to carry on such public
utilities under due regulation as to
rates by proper authority rather than
that the government should itself con-
duct them. This principle favor
because do not think it in accordance
with the best rrhiic policy thus
greatly toi Increase the body of public
servants.
"0f course, if it could be shown
that telegraph service could be fur
nished to the public at less price
than 1t is now furnished to the pub
lie by telegraph companies, and with
equal efficiency. the argument nigh
be strong one in favor of the adop
tion of the proposition But | am no
satisfied from any evidence that !
these properties were taken over b,
the government they could be man
aged any more economically or an
more efficiently or that this woul
enable the government to furnish ser
vice at a smaller rate than the publ
are now required to. pay by privat
companies"

DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL EVENT WAS
COLONIAL TEA HERE YESTERDAY
LARGE NUMBER OF GUESTS ENJOYED The HOSPITALITY OF The DAUGHTERS
OF The AMERICAN REVOLUTION AT COLONIAL TEA In CELEBRATION CT
GEORGE WASHIKGTONS BIRTHDAY

Success hardly anticipated crowned
the efforts of the ladies of the Council
of Safety Chapter of the Daughters Of
| the American Revolution in the col
onial tea given yesterday afternoon at
the Bell music studio. The large at
tendance and the enjoyment of the
occasion by all present was most graf
flying to those who worked to make /
success.
The generous response given to the
efforts of the members of the
local chapter to furnish a few hours
Of social diversion was highly appre-
ciated. Better than all that may be
said in appreciation of the tea is the
fact that every one present thoroughly
enjoyed it.
The program, which was to have
begun at o'clock, was delayed until
4:30 on account of the fact that so
many came in during the early part Of
the hours arranged for the tea. Ev-
cry feature of the program was
remarkable for its novelty and gem
uine attractiveness, as well as enjoy
able.
AS the tea was arranged largely for
the purpose of observing appropriate
ly the birthday of George Washington,
features to commemorate the tradi-
tions and spirit of colonial days were
introduced with pleasing effect. Fan
cy dances and the minuet were done
in captivating manner by Roy Parker
and little Misses Alice Johnson, Alice
McNeill and Sarah Hightower. An
appropriately humorous recitation by
Roy Parker was also enjoyed
The musical program included en-
semble selections by Misses Bell and
Johnson and several students. Others
features of the program were as fol-

By APPLYING TO HIM

Current funds for the payment OF
the pensioners of Sumter county have
been received by Captain John A.

Now that this money has been re-
ceived, Captain Cobb is ready to re-

The recent statement made out and
submitted to Pension Commissioner
Lindsay shows that there are 1873 PEN
sioners on the list from Sumter coun-
ty. each of whom will receive a pro-
portionate chare of the money which
has been sent out from the state
treasurer. This money has been ex-
pected for some time, but has been de-
layed by the failure of the state to
receive revenue in the form of near
beer taxes from many of the counties
of the state
1t has been only short time since
Captain Cobb wrote to Governor
Brown, telling him that Sumter coun
| ty had paid up it's near beer taxe
promptly, as usual, and that the coun
ty had not yet received it's pro rat
share of the pension money for tn
year, which was due some time age
The receipt of the check yesterday
Captain Cobb evens the obligation {
the state to this county for currer
money on pensions.
Up until yesterday the exact tim
when the pension money would be RI
ceived had been in doubt, so that Cal
tain Cobb made no announcement
I concerning it, Now that it has arri'
I ed, however, the various pensione]
: in the county are notified that the
7 may obtain their money by applying
1 the office OF the ordinary. Many wi
: likely show up today to receive the
c checks, while a majority of them wi
e likely have received their pensions b.

The beauty of the six young Adies
, who served the tea and sandwiches to
the guests was heightened by their ap-
pearing with powdered hair and other
quaint and effective touches of colon
ial dress. They were Misses Mildred
Hollis, Mamie Brown, Annie Bailey,
Mary Littlejohn, Matte Sue Taylor
and Ruth Hodges. Many were the
compliments paid them on account OF
their beauty and attractiveness and
the pleasing manner in which they
served.
Bunting, flags, palms and cut flow
ers made the studio most attractive
and carried out the patriotic scheme
in the decorations. In addition tiny
United States flags were presented to
the guests as they entered, as an ap-
propriate feature of the celebration.
Miss Emma Chapman deserves high
thanks and commemoration for her
courtesy in training the young dane
ers in such effective manner Among
the members of the organization who
assisted in preparing for the tea were
Mesdames w. K. Bell and Chas. A.
Fricker, who had charge of the deco
rations; Mesdames Charles M. Coun-,
ell, w A. Dodson and D. R. Andrews,
who prepared the refreshments, and
Miss Willie Rutherford and Mrs. M.
M. Lowrey, who issued the invitations.

every way. In addition to furnishing
so enjoyable an occasion socially TO
the people of the city, a neat sum was
obtained to be used for the general
fund of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. In every detail the

terizes all the social functions given
by this organization The members

EVERY VOTER SHOULD Be CAREFUL
TO SEE THAT He IS REGISTERED
Attorney yGene Fielder Has Issued Ruling That No Registration Legal EXCEPT That
Which Has Occurred Since October Last YGar-Be Sure That You Have
Registered Since That Time and Have Registered Person and Not By Proxy
as Required Under the Attorney Generals Recent Ruling

Many who intend to vote in the COM
ing county primary have been sur
prised to learn that they are not prop
erly registered, or not registered at
all, as is required under the recent
ruling made by Attorney General T.
s Fielder.
In brief, this ruling is that every
Cne who wishes to qualify to vote in
any of the county or state elections
for this year must have qualified for
such elections by registering since Oc-
tober 1 OF. last year, at some time
prior to the expiration of the time
fixed by the democratic executive COM
mittee for the closing of the registra-
ton books for the approaching county
primary.
1t will be seen from this that those
who registered for last years cleo
tions have not registered for the cleo
tions that come this year unless they
have appeared at the tax collector 5
Office in person and affixed their names
to the registration lists since the first
of last October, which was the time at
which taxes were due Tax Collec-
tor l. B. Small is authority for the
statement that but very few have reg
istered so as to qualify for this year 5
elections by entering their names al
the time that they paid their taxes
since last October /. For this reason
it is true that a majority of the voters
of the county have not registered il
