STEVENSON COULDN'T HELP
South Carolinians Who Violated Pro-
hibition Law in Baltimore.

A mild sensation was created In
Washington when Attorney General
Gregory informed Congressman Stew
enson of South Carolina that not only
would he not intercede in behalf Of
number of well known South Car
olinians who are incarcerated in the
Baltimore Jail charged with attempt
in to ship intoxicating liquors in in
terstate transportation, thus violating
the federal bone dry law, but that he
would ask Judge Rose of Baltimore
to make the fines hereafter six
months instead of four in the Monu-
mental City Jail.
For some time Mr.. Stevenson and
other we'll known public men have
been troubled by requests from
friends TO have their terms OF i'm
prisonment reduced from four
months to two months for bringing
liquor ont of Baltimore in the direc-'
ton of South Carolina, there being
no financial alternative. 1t is now
four months in Jail or nothing.
Mr.. Stevenson asked the attorney
general 10 see if he could not induce
Judge Rose 10 make the term in Jail
two months. Instead of making IL
two, it will hereafter probably be
six monhs.
The method in operation at the
Baltimore railroad station is said to
work so that an unsuspecting victim
with his trunk full of liquor goes to
the station TO take his train. He
steps around to check his baggage,
points to it and says, THAT gmneY
Then the federal officer steps aRASd
says, THAT trunk may be yoursy bot
you are mine. Just come along and
tell the court about it," There Is
nothing to do but come as the evil
dence is conclusive.
Mr.. Stevenson had also had his
secretary A. f. Hutchinson, working
on the Baltimore end of the matter
and the latter when asked today
what success he was having said,
"All / have to say is, the Baltimore
Jail is easy to get into but hard to :
get out Of"

JNO. w. GADDY PASSES.
Popular and Efficient County Off
cial A Victim of Influenza.

Dillon county lost one of its best cit
liens and the county valuable and
faithful official Friday when Auditor
Jno. w. Gaddy passed away. Mr.. Cad
days death brought sorrow to hum
dreds of people throughout the coun-
ty by whom he was known and most
highly esteemed in a personal and
official manner.
Mr.. Gaddy was not strong man
physically, but he performed his du-
ties as auditor of the county with
signal ability. He was courteous and
accommodating to everybody, black
and white, rich and poor, and his
office was conducted in such an eff
cient manner that no one found it
difficult to obtain the information
they desired at any and all times.
Mr.. Gaddy was serving his first
term as auditor of the county. hav-
ing been appointed two years ago
to fill out an uneXpired term.
WI "CChS dSO Ihi HduNJ Woo
stricken with influenza. AS he was not
a strong man physically his family
and friends were greatly concerned
over his condition. He did not take
a turn for the worse, however, until
a few days before his death when
he developed double pneumonia and
continued to decline until the end
came.
Mr.. Gaddy was born near Latta for
ty-one years ago where he had a
large family connection. About IL
years ago he located in Dillon and
with the exception OF year or two
in Latta before he was appointed
county auditor, the latter part of his
life was spent here. He was man
whom everybody admired for his
integrity, honor and uprightness.
Mr.. Gaddy is survived by wife
who was Miss Jennie Brunson. a
daughter of the late Judge Brunson.
Dillon county's first probate judge
and one son, ]. w. Gaddy, Jr., about
ten years of age. He was Mason
and at the time of his death held the
position of treasurer in his lodge. He
was also a member of the Woodmen
and Junior orders.
The interment was made at Mt.
Holly Saturday morning. the services
being conducted at the grave. Dr..
Duncan officiating. The county Off
cials acted as pall-bearers and all
the offices at the court house were
closed Saturday.

BOTH TO DEMOBIL|zE
Al CAMP JACKSON

CITY CAN HANDLE TROOPS.
Said that Division is Now Under Or.
ders to Return Home and May
Arrive i'm Next Two Weeks.

The Thirtieth Division, composed
of South Carolina, North Carolina
and Tennessee troops, are under or
ders to return home and may be
expected to arrive in the next tive
or three weeks. Arrangements are be-
ing made to land the troops at Char
lesion and demoblize them at Camp
Jackson. The war department has
the matter up with the officials at
Charleston and if the troops can be
handled at the South Carolina sea-
port there is every rea66E belisyR
that the entire divisis Ss'!s 81 e
there. s'y>'
No definite plans have been made
for parading the division, but Off
cials think it probable that parades
will be held at Charleston or Colum-
bia.
There are thousands of South Car
olina boys in the 30th division and
the plans for landing the troops are
being watched with no small degree
Of interest throughout the state.
There are probably. thirty or forty
Dillon county boys in the division and
naturally Dillon feels keen interest
in the plans now under way for their
return. tF
Two weeks will be required In
crossing provided weather is good
and the dispatches are likely to bring
the news any day that the Division
has sailed: The Dillon county boys
with this. Division went over in Sep
tember OF 1917.

Jno. w. Gady.

His health had not been robust for
some time but his friends were quite
surprised and grieveously shocked
when the news flashed that John w.
Gaddy was dead.
His early life was passed upon the
farm near where Bingham is today
In early life he connected himself
with the Methodist church and sus-
tanned by truly pious parentage he
grew in beauty of character and
christian graces, and sustained rela-
tions with that organization so pop
ular all over the southland and when
we'll matured in years selected jew
ell for an helpmate in the beautiful
and accomplished daughter Of the
Pee Dee county, Miss Jennie Brun-
son and to this union one son, J. W.
Jr., was born.
A volumne would not be sufficient
to record the good deeds Of this
soldier Of the cross, to speak Of one
who gives life and makes the su-
preme sacrifice for friends and coun-
try. One would but thrill but we live
in deed, and die for those we love.
Such is the history Of our lamented
friend and brother who has answered
with so many bright jewels. We could
recount with so much tenderness the
names Curtis, Williams, Stanton,
Cobb. who have passed to the bright
realms of the just almost before the
sun was mid Heaven, and, in that
land of perpetual days still shine re-
splendent in the live of their redeem
er. Affectionately inscribed,
H. l.. B.

From Worth Mckinley to his
mother Mrs. Cora Mckinley:
Dear Mother:-I will now take the
greatest of pleaure in dropping you

that the Red. Cross Santa Clans came.
also to see me If am in Frnace. He
furnished the socks this time and he
brought me a pair of socks, pair
of o. D gloves, handkerchiefs, 1
package of gum, / bar Of chocolate
and a lot Of nuts, 2 packages of Gig
arettes, / box of matches to smoke
my cigarettes with. Don't: you think
that was nice Of. Him? And he laid
a 3 pound boIsof fruit drops candy
by my socks at the foot Of my bed
and I found it there the morning af-
forwards. We also had swell Xmas
dinner too. One hospital was invited
to eat dinner at another hospital in
this same place. We accepted the in
vitation and went. We had for din
ner roast pork, boiled ham, irish po-
potatoes, celery, beets and different
kinds of dressing, green peas, butter
bread, cake, 2 kinds Of pie, apple nd
mine pie, coffee and after dinner we
passed by a table where we received
another box of candy which weighed
2 pounds, pack OF cigarettes, .and one
cigar issued to us by the Red Cross.
Then we went to the Red Cross hut
and had little show and JAZZ band
to entertain for the balance Of the
evening and through all that time we
were served hot chocolates and cake
and when it wasn't that it was Gig
arettes and pop corn or nuts, so l
think l had a pretty fair Xmas but

ger about me for I will be coming
home soon and I don't think the
time is very far off, so please have
patience and wait for my coming
home and you wont have to strain

SOME MYSTERIES.
Seven World-War Mysteries Which
Remain UnSolved.

Writing from London, England, a
correspondent calls attention to the
fact that there are certain unsolved
mysteries in connection with the
world war. AS given by the cores
pondent these mysteries are:
Nicholas Romanoff's fate remains
a mytery that may never be solved.
Latest investigations fail to prove or
disprove report that he was killed
and his body buried near Ekaterin-
berw. Some bones found near there
cannot be identified. If he was killed
nobody knows who killed him. or
what became of the assassins.
What became of the pistol with
which Gaviro Prinzip shot Franz Fer
dinand in Sarajevo, June %, 1914,
the shot that started the world war
that has cost probably 24,000,000
lives in war, disease and famine?
The pistol was part Of the evidence
against Prinzip at his trial. Nobody
knows what has become Of this price
less relic, deserving preservation in
a museum.
Did William Hohenzollern's spies
promote the plot to have Prinzip kill
Franz Ferdinand?
This charge was made in London
more than two years ago. William
hated Franz, in whom he saw a man
who would not be a willing vassal.
William wanted war. His spies were
busy in Bosnia. What easier than to
have them aid the Prinzip plot?
This may remain one Of the dark,
unsolved mysteries Of the war.
What became OF the United States
collier Cyclops?
Secretary Daniels Of the United
States navy marks it down as one of
the unsolved mysteries of the sea.
The Cyelops left Barbados on
March 4, 1918, with a cargo of man
ganse, and was commanded by
George Worley, a German, whose
name originally was Wichman, and
who had sold his property in Nor
folk, Va, before sailing on that last
voyage, from which the Cyclops never
returned.
Mrs. Worley clings to the belief
that her husband is alive.
Did Germans sink or seize the Cy-
clops or was it lost or wrecked in a
storm and its survivors marooned on
some desert island! No one can an
swer.
Did General Horatio Herbert Kitch-
ener escape alive from the sinking Of
the British warship Hampshire when
it was torpedoed June s, 1916, by a
German submarine off west Orkney
islands?
Survivors say Kitchener was on
deck just before the ship sank. His
body was not recovered with those Of
his staff His sister refused to be-
lieve him dead. She claimed to have
evidence that he was alive and on a
mysterious mission in Russia.
Since the Russian revolution moth
ing has come out Of Russia to verify
this story. But there still are believ-
ers in the Kitchener legend.
How did Alexander Kerensky es-
cape out of Russia in 1917? Did he
go disguised as sack of potatoes?
Or did sympathizers hide him and
smuggle him cut of the country? He
got to London in 1918, but never
would tell, in full, the story of his
escape. 1t is till mytery.
How did Gaviro Prinzip, assassin
Of Franz Ferdinand, die?
Was he beaten to death in prison?
Or did he die of starvation or dis
ease? There is no light on these
questions. Wanted - Another Sher-
lock Holmes.
