HIGH ENDORSEMENT
 OF LITTLE SHEPHERD
Magazine Says it is One of Most Successful Produc-
 tions of the Year

The highest recognized au- thority on picture show films, The Motion Picture News, has the following to say of 1.The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come.'
 "Once in a long while a pie ture is released that every exhibitor wants to play be- cause he knows that every pa tron of his theatre and a lot .of people who seldom go to the picture show will be sure to want to see it. Such a fea. ture is "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, " adapted from the novel by John Fox, Jr., with Jack Pickford in the leading role.
 "Even the uninitiated will readily see that this great novel was ideal material for the photoplay because of it's wealth of dramatic situations and the unusual amount of descriptive incident. Wallace Worsley, who directed the pro- duction for Goldwyn release has succeeded in bringing Mr. Fox's great story to the screen practically in it's entirety. Nc liberties have been taken with the plot, something which of ten spells many a good book picture in the minds of an au dience. All the unusual char acters of the story are in the picture With a most wonder full realism. Jack Pickford has one of the most likeable roles of his career. Pauline Stark is the unfortunate little "Melissy' who loves Chad so we'll that she is willing to give him up to her Bluegrass rival, Margaret" a role play ed by Clara Horton.
 Tt is a very sweet story, just the kind that pleases all classes and all ages"

 All the notices were scrawl- ed on cheap tablet paper, and, officers say, appeared to have come from the same source. The wording of all them was practically identical, it was said. One of them read as follows:

SULPHUR ROCK
 DEFEATS NEWARK

On Monday afternoon the basketball team of the New ark High School went to Sul- phur Rock to play the school teem of that town. Our boys, three of whom had never played basketball, were no match in the skill of the game for the Sulphur Rock team as was evidenced by the score of 26 to ' in favor of the latter team.
 One of Sulphur Rocks team, Henderson Weaver of Char Iotte, has been a star player before this year, and he cer- tainly lost none of his laurels as forward in the game Mon day. The whole team was composed ot manly young feJ- lows, whom our boys think 1t will be a great honor to de- feat in another clean game a little later on.
 The next game will be play ed at Newark.

BOY IS HELD FOR
 FORCING CHECK
Willie James Alleged to Have Forged Check on Tom
 Jones for S150

Willie James, a young man of the Magness neighborhood, was arrested yesterday charg- ed with having forged a check on J. T. Jones of Magness for $50, which he is said to have attempted to cash at the First National Bank yesterday.
 The young man who is about 19 years old, went into the drug store and asked Paul Crow to make out a check for him for $150, after which he left the drug store, saying that he would sign it later. Some time later he presented a check at the First National Bank signed by J. T. Jones for $50. Assistant Cashier T. M. Harrelson suspected there was something wrong witt the check and told the boy he would cash it as soon as he telephoned MT. Jones. The boy became frightened and ran away, leaving the check lying in the cashiers window. He left town on the run and escaped through a field south of town but was later arrest ed by the officers.
 The boy was gone before MT. Jones could answer the telephone call from the bank, but stated later that he had not given him a check for any amount.

EIGHT MEN HELD ON
 NIGHTRIDER CHARGE
Alleged to Have Posted Gins at Bald Knob. 3radfori
 and Pleasant Plains

Bald Knob, Cs 15.-Ar- raigned before Justice John M. Collison at Bald Knob this morning on charges of night riding, the eight men arreste l near here were held to the White county Grand Jury af- ter waiving examinations. They are; Frank Withers, Luke Bone, Irving Cribbeston, Fate Sterling, Walter Bone, Tom Smith, J. ". Fuller and Charles Meachel. All the de- fendants except Fuller and Meachel made bonds of $500 each and were released.
 The charges against the men, all of whom are farm CTS, living in the vicinity of Velvet Ridge, 10 miles nort' | west of Bald Knob, grew out of threats of burning gins against various operators in the county. Threatening let ters enclosed in envelopes which also contained matches, were received by Will Mason, Bradford; Ernest Patterson, Russell; and Bart Woods, Pleasant Plains, ginners. They were ordered to close down their plants until the price of cotton advanced to 40 cents a pound. Unless operations ceased immediately, the letters warned, matches would be ap- piled to the gins. These no- tices were received last Thurs day.
 Another notice was found the following day posted at the gin operated by J. Colli- son at Bald Knob, warning the ginner to discontinue op- erating his plant. The notice also contained the threat that

House committee on immigration and
naturalization here today that he is
in favor of intermarriage between Jap

is Investigating the Japanese situation
in California.
"There may be objections now, but
a hundred years from now we will
look back upon it as all right" he
said. "When potato seed in this State
is no longer good, we cross it with
Oregon seed and the second year there
is fine crop of potatoes.
"To be sure a good many Japanese
don't make enough money to support
Yankee girls. They are too expen-
sive."

the substance of letter from B. B.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-07-14

Gossett, Of Anderson. former fuel ad-
ministrator for this State, to Governor
Cooper, released for publication this
Afternoon by the Office of the Execu-
tive. The letter was dated June 80,
and suggests the Governor calling a
tri-State conference, to be participated
in by the governors of South Carolina.
North Carolina and Georgia and other
representatives to consider the situa-
tion.
whereas coal is. in the greatest
abundance during this period of the
year, it is with the utmost difficulty
that the industrial establishments are
now securing sufficient amount Of
this fuel" according to the letter of
Mr.. Gossett, "aside from this" he con-
tends, "the coal prices are absolutely
prohibitive; ordinary coal selling
around from 50 to $40 a ton at the
mines," which he says, "means from
$13 r. SID delivered" What is more to
be deplored, he insists, is The almost
impossibility of getting delivery of
domestic coal.
Doubtful as to Supply
'Ie is doubtful if any dealer in the
S tie has as much as two weeks sup
lily ahead, including coal which has
not been shipped and will not be
shipped under contract. This condi-
tion, according to Mr.. Gossett's
diagnosis of the economic situation is
almost wholly due to the shortage of
coal car equipment in this section. He
asserts that large part of the fuel
needs Of this State are supplied by the
shipments over the Carolina, Clinch-
field and Ohio Railway, and that the
supply Of the mines supplying this line
has become diminished at least one
half because of the lack Of coal car
quipment. He claims that the Clinch-
field owns $500 coal cars whereas a
scattered over outside territory when
they should be concentrated for coal
delivery in this section. If a maximum
of these cars was available, he con-
tends there would be no fuel problem
in this section. He is of the opinion
that these and other coal cars are
tied up in other sections because of
the freight congestion; while if this
section were given its allotment of
fuel cars it could move them with the
utmost dispatch.
Conference Suggested
To cope with the. situation Mr..
Gossett suggests that conference of
the governors of South Carolina North
Carolina and Georgia be called to meet
in Columbia as soon as possible, to-
gether with a committee from this
State to be selected by Governor
