throughout Great Britain and the

made known the strange story of DR..
Minor, and American physician who,
while imprisoned for murder in a
British lunatic asylum, assisted the
late Mr.. James Murray in the pre-

Mr.. Church was born in Ogden

the journalistic urge by going to
NewYork to do his writing. He went
to work for the Equitable Life, but
used his outside time in the turning
out of humor for the New York

wide variety of newspapers and mag

New Boil Weevil Line SepteAbee "a

Clemson College Oct. THE boil
weevil is moving. The Crop Pest conn
mission issued September 80, a new
boil weevil map showing the latest
boil weevil line across the state
through Johnston, Elloree, Lanes and
Georgetown. This is a considerable
advanceover the previous line fixed
only ten davs before. The pest is
making a great drive, and the situa-
tion is serious. =
Railway agents, transportation
companies, farmers, and millers are
cautioned not to ship across the wee
vii line from weevil territory. Ship
ment from the safety zone across the
safety line, and from quarantine zone
to free territory, without permit are
violations of law. Everyone should
feel the responsibility Of protecting
the eastern and upper parts Of the
state from an accidental infestation
of those sections, which the weevll
will not reach this year in normal
migration.
The movement of cotton seed over
public highways forward into safety
zone, quarantine zone, or free terri
tory is as serious violation Of law as
if made by public carriers. But re-
stricted and prohibited articles can,
of course, be moved backward with
out permit from free territory into
quarantine zone, from free territorys
and quarantine zone into safety zone,
and from safety zone into boil weevil
territory.

CRIMES ON INCREASE

Revolution Transforms Over Once

Busy Extorting People

Busy Extorting People
Berlin, Sept. l0( Correspondence OF
the Associated Press).-Germany
has increasingly taken to crime since
the revolution, and the once orderly
empire, where pickpockets were al
most unknown and holdups and rob-
berries created sensation, is under
going an epidemic of crime. Probably
no system has proved more effective
than, in these days of uncertainty
and change, playing the official or
impersonating a soldier or a police
man.
Recently two clever criminals, who
discovered that a certain man had
concealed in his house lis thousand
dollar mark notes of the old type and
liable to confscation had frightened
him into surrendering the money on
the promise OF escaping prosecution.
A real official, who had nosed out
the plot, entered just in time to see
the transfer of the money and really
did con6scate it, besides arresting
the three men.
More original was another false
official scheme. Here group succeed
ed in inducing a man who had hoard
ed 50 thousand-mark bills to sell
them at handsome profit. The deal
was in progress when fellow conspi-
rators, posing as officials, appeared,
confscated the money and robbed the
owner.
An airplane was used to capture
criminals when the authorities got
wind recently of an attempt to carry
10000, 900 marks on an express train
to Munich whence they were to be
smuggled across the Swiss border.
Robberies at railroad stations from
freight cars have been increasing to
a great extent. Countless cases Of
false papers for the delivery of goods
have been discovered, usually after
it was too late.
The discovery Of two carloads of
bacon lying on a siding as suburban
station led to the discovery of huge
swindle originating in Holland, con-
Quoted from the Rhineland, and max
ing use of false bills of aiding. Many
railroad men were involved in a

New Electrical Machinery

The new machinery purchased
some time ago by Mr.. P. G. Gourdin,
president of the Kingstree Electric
Light & Ice Co., from large West
ern manufacturing concern has ar
rived and work of installation will
be commenced without delay. The
new machinery embraces a large so
X. w. machine, engine and genera
tor and is calculated to give the
town a day and night current, and
with this improved machinery we are
told that the local plant will be am
ply able to take care of every cleo
trical need of the town. With this
assurance, The County Record, would
suggest that every encouragement
possible be held out to the owners
by our citiznes. There is no power
on earth like electricity, inexpensive
efficient and applicable to a thousand
and one uSages, commercial or domes-
tic. The housewife can run her
churn, sewing and washing machine
by electricity, while it is as equally
adaptable to the operation of indus
trial plants, so then lets use electri-
city in way that it will justify the
local company in furnishing a con-
tinueous current day and night.
