YARBROUGH RETAINS LIQUOR.
Travelling With Five Hundred Gallons
Acquitted at Columbus.

Columbus, Ca, July 11.-W. T.
Yarbrough, who was arrested charg-
ed with violation of the State prohl-
ton law when he reached here last
week carrying 500 gallons of liquor
from St. Louis to Habana, was ac-
quilted by jury in the city court
here late today.
After a hearing in the federal dis
trict court in Birmingham, where he
also was arrested, Yarbrough had
been allowed to proceed under a re-
cent supreme court decision which
held that persons transporting liquor
NAV only be dealt with at their des-
tination. At his trial here in the city
court, a branch of the State court,
it was contended that Yarbrough had
removed part of the contents of one
bottle and intended to sell it here.
After his acquittal his liquor was or
dered returned to him and ne. said
he would continue on his way to
Cuba. where he says he is to open a
saloon.
Yarbrough was transporting his IL
uuor in the drawing room of a sleep
ing car and was taken from the train
here as he crossed the Georgia line.

OFFICERS SEIZE LIQUOR.
w. G.. Wise Charged With Owning
Unique Outfit.

Columbia, July 1S.-The police vis-
tied a room on the 1900 block of
Main street yesterday afternoon and
seized a copper can containing about
three gallons of what is commonly
called blockade liquor. w. G. Wise,
white man, about 90 years old, was
arrested and sent to the barracks.
Wise was charged with storing and
carrying a revolver and was held for
the federal authorities.
Wise Immediately took steps TO
gain his release and satisfied the city
authorities when he deposited $500
in cash to cover bond on the two
charges. The federal commissioner
fixed bond at $500 and the cash was
Forthcoming. Wise will be expected
to appear before the recorder tomor-
row morning, and before the next ses-
sion of the United States court.
The copper can seized by the Off
GERS was made to fit the inside of a
valise. It was equipped with an in
take for filling purposes and a pet
cock was soldered on the opposite end
for distribution. A rubber tube could
be placed over the pet cock and a
few draws would bring the liquid TO-
ward a flask or the mouth. The can
was adapted for travelling purposes
and is unique in design.
The liquor in the can and in a pint
flask which was seized has the color
of plain alcohol, but possesses the
odor of good whiskey. This is the
first "home made" liquor to be taken
in Columbia since the dry season
went into effect.

COTTON BURNED IN NEWRERRY.
Blaze at Platform of Standard Ware.
house Company Causes Big Loss.

Newberry, July 11.-Fire on the
outside platforms of the Standard
Warehouse Company this afternoon
at $50 O'Clock burned over about
250 bales of cotton. When the blaze
was discovered it was very small, but
in a little while it had spread over
many square yards of space and was
sending a blaze high up into the air.
The fire company responded prompt
ly to the alarm and the fremen work
ed Nike Trojans and soon had the
blaze out, but continued to play on
the cotton for an hour or more to
make sure of having all the fire out.
Some of the cotton burned over was
insured, but much of it was not. The
loss amounts to several thousand dol
lars. Nobody can tell how the fire
happened. but the measly little cigar
ette will likely get the blame.
There was cutting scrape on the
crowded portion of Main street last
night at II o'clock that gave spice
and variety to the usual just before
midnight trade The parties were
women and colored. Ella Belle
Glymph, with a razor or some other
very sharp instrument, cut Edith Will
son more than half the length of one
arm and gave her two other slight
gashes. The main wound laid the
arm open nearly to the bone and DR..
Robert Mayes took 26 stitches in 1t
in sewing it up. The cutter fled from
the scene, but was caught by the po-
lice soon afterwards. There was a
man at the bottom Of it.

SUBMITS TO FORDNEY PROBE.
Lever Lays Before Chairman Results
of Clemson Investigation.

Washington, July 1.-Representa-
tive Lever today laid before Repre-
sentative Fordney, chairman of the
house ways and means committee,
which is handling the potash legisla-
lation. copy of the news letter is
sued by Clemson College in which it
appears that an investigation has
been conducted in Darlington county
on the effect of trona potash upon
cotton, corn and tobacco. The in
vestigation seems to demonstrate
that the potash of this character is
disastrous to these crops. Mr.. Lever
feels that these findings should be
of interest to Mr.. Fordney and his
committee and that they may have a
decided influence upon the character
of legislation that may be finally de-
termined upon and for this reason
he was quick to lay the matter before
the proper committee.

ried about year ago, Mrs. Mary
Eta Barfield, of Darlington, went to
Winona in this county and there re-
newed a former pleasant acquaint-
anceship with Otis McKissick, who
had recently returned from the war,
with the result that the two soon
afterward came to Florence and were
married BY the judge of probate. The
woman in securing the license gave
her name as Harrell. Now she is in
the Florence county Jail, her first hus-
band, W. H. Barfeld, of Darlington,
having sworn out warrant for her
arrest on the charge Of adultery.

with Mrs. Barfield at their home near
Winona. NTcKissick today gave bond
for his appearance at the next term Of
court. Mrs. Barfield has not been
able so far to arrange bail. The case
has attracted much interest in Flor
ence. It was stated today by an off,
Ger that McKissick knew of Mrs. Bar
fields marriage and had visited at the
home in Darlington. The parties to
the marriage are scarcely more than
22 years Of age. McKissick is a

street and store lighting wires and
placing them in the rear of the build
ings on Main street. Telephone and
other wires will either be removed to
the rear or placed in conduits. No
wires will be permitted on the paved
portion of the thoroughfare.
The plans call for remodeling all
of the sidewalks. At present the
walks are uneven, some high and
some low. This condition is to be
remedied, and all sidewalks will be
made entirely uniform.
lnasmuch as this is the first paving
to be done in Bamberg, there is,
naturally, great deal of enthusiasm
over the proposed improvement, and
it is generally felt that Bamberg has
made real step forward in progress.
In order to lend public interest to
the opening of the street, contest
is being staged for the selection of
one of Bamberg's fair ladies to push
the button to first light the street.
In order that this may be done effec-
lively, it is planned to have the light
ing system finished upon completion
of the street paving.
The street is to be paved with con-
crete, that is cement, sand, and crush
ed stone, in the proportion of one
part cement, two parts sand, and
three parts crushed stone. The paw
ing will have thickness of six and
one-half inches in the center, gradu-
ating to thickness of five and one
half inches at the curbing.
The sidewalks will be constructed
OF one part cement, three parts sand,
and five parts crushed stone for the
| base, which will have thickness Of
+, three and one-half inches. The sur
face of the sidewalks will be one
inch thick and will be composed of
one part cement to two parts of sand.
Engineer G. D. Ryan drew up the
specifications for the work and has
charge of the engineering. Mr.. Ryan
stated Monday that the work would
be pushed rapidly, and would be COM
pleted in schedule time.
The contract for the lighting sys-
tenn on Main street was awarded Mon
| day afternoon to G. D. Ryan, whose
bid was s3,373.75. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Ryan will have the work
completed by the time the street paw
ing is completed. 1t is said that the
lighting system will be the most mod
ern of any small town in the State.
The steel poles will be twelve feet in
height, and will support each one
, 400-candle power light in a white
globe.

The message follows:
ladies and Gentlemen of the Sixteenth
Legislative Assembly in Extraordinary
Session assembled:
For several years the state of Mon
tana, thru its officials and citizens, has
offered inducements to people looking
for homes. Our public lands have been
rapidly settled. and agriculture and kin
dred occupations have grown and de-
veloped beyond the expectations of the
most sanguine. From a population of
376,O35 in 1910 to a total of more than
10000 people in 1919 the state has
grown with surprising rapidity and most
whole ease. 1t had come to be be-
lieved that Montana would not have to
pass thru the ordeals and experience
characteristic of other farming commun-
tiles to the east of us. We had forgot
ten that drouths, crop failures and like
priyatiOns were incident to the growth
and development of the now recognized
substantial farming regions of the great
middle west. For several seasons during
the time of the greatest influx of pop
ulation, nature smiled upon us and CO.
pious and fructifying rains fell thruout
the length and breadth Of the state at
critical and necessary times.
I'm 1917, however, there came a
change. large part of the state ex-
perienced at least a partial and certainly
a serious crop shortage. In 1918 sim

crops of unprecedented proportions and
area were planted. The people had been

promised high prices gave strength and

from state and federal agencies. The
