GAME WARDEN HUCKABEE
GETS HUNTING INFORMATION
Open Season For Squirrels, Rae.
coons, Rabbits and 'Possums
September to March.

County Game Warden J. NJ. Huck-
abee of Lowndesville has received
from Chief Game Warden A. A.
Richardson the following informa-
tion relative to the open season for
squirrels, raccoons, rabbits and
opossums:
"On account of the hunting licen-
ses for this season having been print
ed before the acts of 1921 came
from the hands of the printers, it
was stated on the back of the licen-
ses that the season for squirrels, rae
coons, rabbits and opossums would
open October 1st and close after
March 18th.
"The 1921 Legislature, however,
passed the following Act, from which
it will be seen that squirrels, rae
coons, rabbits and opossums may be
hunted from September 1st to March
1st.
"Act No. 1877, Acts of 1921, reads;
"Section /. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State OF
South Carolina: The closed season
for hunting squirrels, raccoons, rab-
bits and opossums in this State shall
be from March 1 to September of
each year."
Warden Huckabee also says that
the following persons are authorized
to sell hunting licenses: Nance &

Would Demand Apology.

Augusta, Aug. 16.-Judge Henry
c. Hammond, of the Augusta circuit
Of superior court, late last night
mailed communication to Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick, of Atlanta,
requesting that the governor demand
of Governor Cooper Of South Car
olina immediate apology for the in
vasion of Georgia last Thursday
morning by mob of 100 South
Carolinians seeking C. o. Fox and
Jesse Gappins, held in Richmond
county Jail on murder charges.
The communication suggests that
it might not be amiss for the State
of South Carolina to deliver to
Georgia at least one member of the
mob, inasmuch as Georgia law Off
GERS captured and held for her sister
state the two alleged murderers.
Fox and Gappins have confessed
according to Sheriff J. T. Plunkett,
their implication in the death of Will
liam Brazell, 10 year old youth of
Columbia.

MENT ACCUSES SON CUTTING
FATHERS THROAT WHILE
ANOTHER HOLDS HIM.

Lexington, Aug. 15.-James Bar
field, Sr., who is being held in the
Lexington county jail on the charge
of killing Marcellus Cook near Steed-
man Friday afternoon, when seen
this morning in his cell, denied hav-
ing been connected with the murder
in any way, but admits having been
at the Cook home Friday afternoon.
Later in the day Barfeld gave a
sworn statement to Deputy Sheriff
Oswald, saying that Ira Cook and
Henry Wheeler had told him while
he was at the Cook home Friday
afternoon that Cook had done the
cutting while Wheeler held the old
man. On this affidavit Mr.. Oswald
Immediately procured warrants
charging Ira Cook and Wheeler with
murder and went to Steedman and
placed the two men under arrest,
and they are now confined in the
Lexington jail to await trial at the
next term of court.
When arrested both of the men
stoutly denied any knowledge what
ever of the killing other than what
they had told, at the inquest. Ira
Cook is the 20 year old son of the
murdered man and Wheeler is a
wage hand working and living with
the Cooks.
Lexington jail is now filled to
capacity, there being at present six
white men and several negroes
awaiting trial.

TAX REVISION
BILL PRESENTED
ADMINISTRATION MEASURE TO
BE CALLED UP WEDNESDAY
WITH FINAL VOTE SCHE-
DULED FOR SATURDAY FORD.
NEY SAYS.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The ad-
ministration tax revision bill, design
ed to raise approximately $3,o00,-
600, 900 a year, was formally pre-
sented today to the house of REPRE-
sentatives. Chairman Fordney, Of the
ways and means committee expects
to call it up Wednesday and to have
final vote Saturday under a spe-
cial rule limiting consideration to
four days.
Republicans of the house refused
Monday ito approve the administra-
ton plan to make repeal Of the ex-
cess profit and the reduction of the
income surtaxes to 80 per cent re-
troactive to last January 1. Under
the conference decision these
changes, as we'll as the five per cent
increase in the corporation income
tax, would go into force next Janu-
ary /.
The vote to make the change in
the committee bill was SO to 81. No
other alteration in the draft as pre-
sented to the conference was made.
The membership also adopted a spec
ial rule under which tine vote on the
bill will be taken at p. m. Saturday.
Representative Frear, Wisconsin,
member of the ways and means
committee, wanted a separate vote
in the house on fixing the date for a
repeal of the excessive profits tax,
but the conference on motion of Rep
resentative Mann, Illinois, decided
to make the date January 1, 1922.
Under amendments subsequently
adopted by the committee, the in
crease in the corporation income
tax to be effective next January 1,
was reduced from to'2 1-2 per
cent, and the tax on cereal bever-
ages cut from Is cents to six cents a
gallon.
Republican leaders estimate that
the bill will reduce the nations tax
burden by $6OO,0O0,0OO in the next
calendar year through repeal of the
excess profits tax, the higher brack-
cts of income surtaxes, all of the
transportation taxes, including ex-
press and oil pipe line, increased ex-
emptions to heads Of families and
married men with small incomes,
and decreases in the levies on candy,
sporting goods, furs and art, and art
works.
Details of these and other changes
including the increase of 5 per cent
in the income tax on corporations
already have been published. Other
revisions include, however, the ex-
emption from taxation of the COM
pensation received by the President
of the United States and amounts al
lotments and allowances under pro-
visions of the war risk insurance and
vocational rehabilitation acts.

and all federal court judges also

TWO LOSE LIVES
BOTTOM OF WELL
FRANK LAND, WHITE AND BOB
MULSHALL, NEGRO, OVER
COME By GAS AND DIE BE-
FORE THEY CAN BE RES
CUED. .-.

Frank Land, white and Bob Null
shall, colored, lost their lives Monday
afternoon when they were overcome
by gas in well being dug on the
land of Bedford Guest, near Calhoun
Falls. At the coroner's inquest, held
yesterday by Magistrate Joseph
Hicks, of Magnolia Township, the
jury rendered q verdict to the effect
that sFrank Land and Bob Mulshall
came to their deaths by accident,
by being killed by gas in the bottom
of a we'll on the premises OF Bed
ford Guest"
The testimony at the inquest
brought out the facts as follows:
Frank Land, a tenant on Bedford
Guests land, was digging a well at
his home. He started it the week be-
fore and had found it necessary to
use dynamite. Last Friday charge
of dynamite was set off in the well
and no one went down in it until
Monday afternoon when Land de-
cided to continue digging. With the
assistance of Bedford Guest, he was
let down in bucket. He filled the
bucket with water and as Mr.. Guest
was about to draw 1t out, Land emp
tied the water ad told him to draw
him (Land) out. Mr. Guest and an as
sistant at the windlass started draw
ing Land out and when he had near
ly reached the top, ne fell out Of the
bucket, back to the bottom.
Mr.. Guest testified that he called
to him and when there was no reply
he called for help. Bob Mulshall, who
was : employed on Mr.. Helms
place, volunteered to go down in the
well and tie a rope around Mr..
Lands body. Mr.. Burris and Mr..
Guest tied rope around Mulshall
and let him down. He apparently
thought he was all right and united
the rope from his body, and tied it
to Mr.. Land. Then Mulshall called to
those on the outside that he was
sick. They drew up the rope, think
ing to draw him out. Those on the
outside heard Mulshall breathing
hard for a time and then he ceased
struggling and all was still.
1t is thought that the gas genera
ted by the dynamite explosion which
was unable to escape from the well,
so affected the men that they were
not able to cooperate with those on
the outsidesin their efforts to save
them. =
Frank Land is married and has
many friends in the Calhoun Falls
community. Funeral services were
held at Level Land Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock.

NOT TO BE MOVED UNTIL Gov
ERNOR ORDERS-SPECaAL
TERM NOT YET ORDERED FOR
GAPPINS, FOX AND KIRBY.
LESS MOB TALK.

ledge that C. o. Fox and Jesse Gap
pins, confessed slayers of William
C.. Brazell, young Columbia taxi
driver, were being held in the Jail at
Charleston, apparently had sober
ing and soothing effect on talk of
mob violence yesterday and while
the case was still being discussed in
many quarters, there was not that
anger shown that there was more or
less manifest last week, and the gen.
eral opinion seemed to be that the
men were safe from summary ven-
geance.
So far as the sheriff's office in Co.
lumbia was concerned, there were
no developments whatever, and the
officials were relieved to a large ex-
tent from the tension under which
they have been laboring since the
men were taken into custody by Of
fcers of the law. The men will be
held by Sheriff Poulnot in Charles
ton until further orders from Gov
ernor Cooper, and there is at pres
ent no information as to what day
they will be brought to Columbia or
to Lexington.
The two national guard companies
at Charleston, Companies A and B,
have been instructed to stand ready
to render any assistance necessary to
Sheriff Poulnot in protecting the
men from violence, and they will
be prepared at all times to respond
promptly to the call of the sheriff.
The ordering of a special term Of
court to try Fox, Gappins and Kirby
at Lexington, has been suggested
but no special term has been order
ed as yet, it was learned yesterday.
The regular term Of court will
open in Lexington the second Mon
day in September, and it has been
pointed out that approximately 12
days would be erquired to order the
special term, so that. there would be
no great saving Of time even
though the special term were order
ed. ~
Despite the fact that a week has
elapsed since Kirby gave first init
NATION of the killing of the young
taxi driver, feeling in the case has
been maintained at high pitch, the
efforts of the sheriff's to protect the
prisoners arrested in Georgia hav-
ing served to keep interest aroused
The persistent efforts of a supposedly
well organized mob to wreak quick
vengeance on the perpetrators of
the crime too, has attracted much
comment.
Continued from page one.)
Officials in Columbia seem of the
opinion that Fox and Gappins will
not be moved from Charleston for
some time. Every precaution will be
taken to give, them adequate pro-
lection in case need arises.
