Got Drunk to Stave off Case.

Atlanta, Jan. 27.-Samuel A. Stoe
alleged white SLAYER, adopted uni
que and entirely successful method OF
having his case postponed in the
Federal court yesterday. He got
drunk. When arraigned in court he
grinned in such an alcoholic man
ner at the judge, that he had the
distinction of being remanded to the
court marshal until he should be so,
bered sufficiently to be placed or
trial.
Stoe was out on bond. He and his
wife, Mrs. Annie Stoe, are charged
with violation of the white slave
law in taking Annie Woolley from
State to State.
Stoe's appearance drunk IN court

cope often enough, but one which is
utterly unfamiliar to Judge Newman

OIL MILL BURNS DOWN.
Very Disastrous Fire Thursday Night
at Sally.

One of the heaviest losses by ire
that has ever occurred in this section
was the loss of the Sally Cotton Seed
Oil Mill, at Sally, Thursday night.
This mill had been in successful op-

said to be one of the best of the in
dependent mills in the State.
The mill did a very large ginning
business in addition to making oil.
The mill was built by Mr.. Foster OF
the Piedmont section, who after
wards parted with his interests to
Capt. Montgomery of Spartanburg,
although large amount of the stock
was owned by citizens of Sally and
community. The exact amount OF In
surance, or of the loss is not known,
but the loss will probably amount to
near $4,000.

following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, DR.. J. L. Copeland; vice presi-
dent, DR.. J. H. Roberts,; secretary
and treasurer, S. w. Copeland; gen.
eral manager, F. H. Copeland. The
company is in quite fiourishing con-
dition, it is growing daily. For the
past year the company has declared
a dividend of per cent. The officers
certainly deserve credit for their
work in building up such telephone
service in this town.
Another fourishing enterprise in
Ehrhardt is the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank. This bank has capi-
tai stock of $4,000 and surplus of
$4,000. On the capital stock a pro-
fit of Is per cent was declared for the
year 1913. The following officers
were reelected: President, S. w.
Copeland; vice president, J. H.
Roberts, NJ. D.; cashier, w. Max Wal
ker. The business had become so
great that the directors deemed it
necessary to employ an assistant
cashier. The man elected to fill the
Office was w. G. Walker. The direc-
tors of the bank are: G. J. Herndon,
G. B. Clayton, H. L. Kinard, J. E.

beautiful home wedding last Wednes-

tastily decorated with pot plants and
Southern smilax, to witness the
solemn ceremony.
First entered Miss Ettie Kearse,
who was ushered to the piano by Mr.
Frank HERS, and to the strains of
Mendlesohn's wedding march the
bridal party entered as follows:
First came the little Misses Mil
dred Copeland and Merle Farrell as
flower girls, attired in costumes OF
white accordion pleted crepe de
chene and lace, caught with hand
made daisies, and their fairy like at
titude displayed two innocent hearts
untainted by guile, unclouded by
SIM. Then entered little Louise Cope
land, and beautiful she was in her
dress of silk shadow lace over light
blue plated messaline, caught with
forget-me-nots and pearl ornaments,
carrying the ring in the heart of a
white carnation.
The maid of honor, Miss Josephine
Copeland, of Columbia, sister of the
bride, wore a handsome suit of gray
cloth. Lastly entered the bride at

the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Muller will make
their home near Islandton where Mr..

work.
The many handsome gifts of cut
glass. china, silver, and hand en-
broidered linen proves the populari-
ty of the contracting parties.
Mrs. Muller will be missed by her
MANY friends in our community, but
we feel she will add more to her list
in her new home. Mr.. Muller is one
of Colleton county's most progressive
farmers. a man of fine character
sterling business qualities, and many
years of happiness is the sincere wish
of us all. A FRlEND.

fit of Is per cent. for 1913. That
bank has made wonderful success
during the eight years it has been
going. Since 1905 the Ehrhardt
Banking Co. has paid $4,000 divi-
dends to its stockholders and now
has surplus of $500, on capital
stock of $4,000. The officers of the
bank are: President, J. L. Copeland,
NJ. D.; vice president, J. c. Kinard;

have here tried to give little of
the successes in our town without
even mentioning those things that
ought to be successful and are not.
In the next letter I propose to give
school boys views and thoughts
about the needed improvements in
town. There are a number of i'm
provements that might materially aid
and beautify our little town.
The council has decided to clay
the southern portion of Main street.
The county chain gang has the work
in hand, and have begun work. There
is nothing that helps a town more
than good streets, unless it were
good streets and those lighted we'll.
I think that our town ought, by all
means, to have the whole of Main
Istreet lighted up. 1t would certainly
aid the man a great deal who is in
the habit of walking the streets after
dark.
The amount of liquor consumed in
this town is enormous. Every negro,
and a large per cent. of the whites,
visit the dispensary at least once
every time he comes to town. There
is at least four times as much drunk
enness in Ehrhardt now as before the
disp pensary came back. It's a dying
shame to humanity that man ever
discovered any such thing as alcoho-
lie liquors. But then, what is not
good for man he will always know
at the. first chance. The first thing
the negro wants to know at town is:
lis the dispensary open?"
Mr.. G. H. w. Park, student at the
Lutheran Theological Seminary,
preached here last Sunday morning.
His sermon was very much enjoyed
by. all. He also preached at Mt.
Pleasant Lutheran church in the
afternoon.
The Methodists are hard at work
trying to raise enough money to re-
paint their parsonage. AS everyone
in towns knows, the parsonage needs
the paint, and they would appreciate
any aid given them very much.
About the only visitors in town
| last week were travelling salesmen.
Some lot of those fellows, though,
| believe me, 1 heard one man say
that he counted exactly twelve that
got off the train in one day here.
The merchants are getting in quite
lot of new, up-to-date goods, too.
So l guess those fellows help town,
anyway, eh?

County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Jan. 26.-Some few
bales of cotton came to the gin last
week, but it is about all ginned and
sold, and, the worst part Of it, about
all spent.
Mr.. L. M. Smith has taken up a
job with: J. M. kirkland Co. While
it is a general store, he says he likes
the calico at Denmark the best, and

her children went to see him Sunday
afternoon.
Mr.. J. C.. H. Park, from the CO.
lumbia Theological Seminary, preach
ed in Ehrhardt Lutheran church
Sunday morning and Mt. Pleasant
Lutheran church in the afternoon.
Both charges are well pleased with
his sermon. His style is easy his
logic good, and the handling of his
text was all that could be expected
of man of age and more experience.
His course at the Seminary will soon
be ended, and there is very little
doubt but that this charge has ideas
of rendering call to him to I'LL the
vacancy made by the resignation OF
Rev. D. B. Groseclose.
The Hacker Manufacturing CO.
have gotten one Mr.. H. L. Black to
operate their plant at this place for
them. Mr.. Beck Contemplates max
ing some changes in the mill before
going to work regularly in the way
of saving lumber. Hope it will not
be simply changes, but brought to
paying business to it's stockholders.
The rain has put some water on
the land, and our roads will be mud
dy if more comes soon and the ferti-
lizer wagons started.

Went to the chain gang camp for
stroll Sunday afternoon. Rev. l. S.

victs from the text of Moses, telling
them of his leadership of the chill
dren of Israel from Egypt to the
promised land. He told the story
very well and sang hymns to them,
asking them to join him, but few OF
them lent their voices to help out
the melody. They have done some
good work around town to the roads.
Have often heard of coon be-,
ing treed by a dog and being shot
out of the tree, but Judge j. G. Cope
land had a case on Saturday where
the coon was treed by dog and af-
ter a while the dog was shot by the
coon, $4,000 or 80 days was the re-
suit. Coon paid up.

Columbia's Saturday Matinee
"When Women Run the Town"

The twO-reel comedy appearing at the Lamara theate. today under the above caption is one of the funniest things that has been seen from the Edison shops in many a day. It is nothing less than the story of wo- men, outnumbering the men, getting together and controlling the election, and thus controlling the town. But here the trouble begins. They de- cree that there shall be no saloons, no smoking, and no gambling, and proceed to stop all that sort of thing But then come their troubles. Who is there to haul the garbage and hold othe.r equally lucrative jobs at the expense of the city? And just about that time the interurban street rail way suffers a tie up which still further complicates matters.

The current number of Pathe's Weekly, which is running again at the Arizona theater tonight contains number of views of boat-racing crews practicing for the great aqu- atic events that have been run upon eastern rivers recently. These pie lures are full of life and vim and furnish for the river fans of the west the next best thing to seeing the races themselves, a sight of the movies of the events. Then there is to be seen also the pictures of the great Indianapolis automobile races, as well as a picture of President Wilson laying the cornerstone for the great American University at Washington, D. C. The other parts of the program are equally interest ing. There is an inimitable Lubin picture to the title of "The Country Girl" that tells simple beautiful story. In addition a Kalem showing Mona Darkfeather and her Indian movie actors, as well as a Broncho Billy story.
