East Side authorities being sus-
picious of his actions held him on a
vagrancy charge and communicated
with the sheriff's office here. where in
the meantime the robbery at Marvel
had been reported. Rehbine was SEN

is MADE
IN NATIONAL DEBT

Washington, April "A reduction
of sos, 100000 in the national debt
more than double the amount by
which the debt was lowered during
any previous month-was accomplish
ed during March, the treasury report
ed tonight. The national debt now
stands at s24,699,OO0,0o0.
Officials said this record could not
be used as a basis for increasing fur
ther monthly reductions. They re-
garded it, however, as sound EVIL
dence" of the success of the treasury
program for financing the postwar
period when government expenditures
still continue to run high.
Began in August.
March payment on the public debt
was confined almost wholly to re-
tirement of certificates of indebted
ness issued in anticipation OF income
and profit taxes. Reductions by
month since August, when the retire
ments began, were:
October, S15,533,06o; November
s94,47S,000; December, S27S'9'3'-
900; January, s1es,6ss,ooo and
February, s2e4,o57,ooo. Heavy pay
ment on the debt in December and
February both were traceable to the
retirement Of certificates Of indebted
ness. but the amount Of obligations
retired each month, although fuetua-
ting, has been on the increase.
Hinges on Tax Lesislation.
Future monthly reductions will
hinge largely on new appropriations
and tax legislation, officials said.
They expected, however, that opera
tions of the sinking fund would re-
fleet more and more on the gross ma
tional debt each month hereafter.
None would venture prediction as
TO the net reduction for the calendar
year.
AS the public debt now stands it is
made up of $15,616,80O,O00 COM
prising the four issues of liberty
bonds: s4,422,7 100000 of Victory
short-term notes, s2,367,22o,o00 in
treasury certificates; and approx
mately s1,0OO,O0O,000 in bonds is
sued prior to the world war.
The greatest single item among
these old bonds is the issue of consois
of 1880 which aggregate S600,o0O,-
900.

val of nearly seven years, Laurens

including Chief of Police Blakely and
Sheriff Reid, on motion of the sollcl-
tor, adjournment was taken until
future date with the view of ascer-
tanning, if possible, additional evl-
dence in the case.
DR.. w. D. Ferguson, who examined
Stewards body, testified that tlve
stab wounds were on the body and
his neck had been broken. Death was
due to hang ',g and the wounds were
not serious In his opinion.
The lynching of Steward was the
result of fight earlier in the night
with a party of young white men,
three of whom were more or less pain
fully cut with knife welded by
Steward. The fight occurred on
back street near Harrison Hunters
shop. The negro received tive STAB
wounds from which he bled freely un-
til medical attention was given HIM.
It is said that the fight came {
