TRICKS ARE DISCOVERED.
Germans Are Attempting to Secrete
Airplane Parts.

The duplicity the Germans en-
ploy In secreting airpfane equipment
in violation of the treaty of Versail-
les Is frequently giving rise to anus
ing incidents, according to reports
reaching official quarters in Paris.
The latest Of these occurred in one
OF the Hugo Stinnes's Berlin factor
les, where interallied control officers
of six story building in the morn
ing and the other three floors after
luncheon.
All went well until one of the
French offiiers during the afternoon
returned to the second floor for a
notebook he had dropped there. To
his surprise he found the employees of
the place during the luncheon hour
had transferred there sixty complete
motors from the upper rooms.
Gen. Nollett, head of the control
commission, has reported a case of a
German school mistress who fell un-
der suspicion by the control experts.
Although she protested that she did
not know an airplane part from a
p1 etZel, forty magnetoes were discov-
cred under her kitchen table. When
officers tried to open what was sup
posed to be a child's bedroom this
patriotic frau dramatically placed
herself in front of the door, swearing
by all Deutschland's gods they would
enter the room only over her dead
body. She is still alive, however, but
the control officers found fifty hell
ces, score of magnetos and numer-
Gus altitude barometric appliances.
Not the least striking feature oi
this case arose a few days later wher
the woman demanded damages to the
amount of 100000 marks for viola.

but Gen. Nollett personally interpre

ROMANCE OF 40 YEARS
TO CULMINATE In MARRIAGE

. (By International News Service.)
Council Bluffs, Iowa, Feb. A. A
romance Of 4 5 years will eliminate in
the marriage of j. G. Gibbs, bachelor
farmer, with Miss Myrtle Sanderson
OF Ceylon, India. He is 65 and his
bride-to-be is 63. They came with
their parents from Manitowoc, Wis,
by OK team to Florence, Neb., over
As years ago. Miss Sanderson's faith
er was formerly minister at Mani
towoc and also preached to the In
dians in the early days of Nebraska
IL was then that she and Gibbs be-
came engaged, but the father wished
the girl to become missionary and
is said to have told her, while 1
live / want you to serve God and af-
ter that, if you want to serve the dew
IL and get married, you can" A
month ago Rev. G.. G. Sanderson died
near Los Angeles and Gibbs is sell
ing the livestock on the farm he
rents and will go to San Francisco to
claim his bride, to arrive from Cey-
lon this month. During the As years
Gibbs would farm for few years
then tour foreign country, always

FEW DOCTORS USE THEM.
Dry Figures Show Only Small Mum
ber Of Physicians Issue Liquor
Permits.

Out Of 162,627 physicians in the
United States only 33,379 are bold
ing permits which allow them to pre-
scribe whiskey, according to statis-
tics gathered by the dry headquarters
In Washington. In twenty-four states
the physicians hold no permits to pre-
scribe liquor, and druggists cannot
I'LL prescriptions for whiskey or
brandy.
'"These facts and the laws of the
states answer completely the charge
that the Volstead act is drastic In this
respect" said Wayne B. Wheeler, of
the Anti-Saloon League, last week.
= 'Tt will take some time doubtless
ip the other states to educate public
sentiment to realize there are proper
substitutes for whiskey which have
greater medicinal values. Many ply
sicians who hold these permits ad-
NIT they rarely prescribe whisky ex-
cept when the patient insists upon it.
1t is clear that whiskey is losing out
not only as a beverage, but as bona
fide medicament."

HOPE FOR THE AGED?
Paris Surgeon Prolongs Life by Use
OF the Monkey Gland"

Paris, Feb. 7-Evelyn Liardet,
veteran English actor, who submit
ted to the monkey gland" opera
tion by DR.. Voronoff a week ago, was
able to leave his bed for the first
time this morning. The mystery as to
the identity of the other five men
whom DR.. Voronoff says he has re-
juvenated is deeper than ever.
Rumors that former Premier Gle
menceau was one of the five have
been denied by the DR.. Voronoff, who
declared:
"Liardet, who is "A, is the oldest
man who has yet undergone the op-
GRAFTON. Clemenceau? No."
DR.. Voronoff was then asked
whether Clemenceau is too old for
for the operation. He replied:
He is too old for any other opera
tion, but the rapid recovery of Liar
det proves that the gland operation is
perfectly safe at any age"
When Liardet was seen this after
noon for the first interview following
The operation, he was seated reading
from DR.. Voronoff's book. Life
Mrs. Liardet white haired but con-
siderably younger, was knitting be-
side him. When he shook hands his
glip was that of vigorous man OF
forty. His voice scarcely indicated his
great age.
Discussing the operation, Liardet
said:
when 1 came to Paris especially
/ for the Noronoff operation l knew
that l was risking my life But l con
D., sldered my life a small thing com
pared with the advancement o
science.
Two years ago l similarly submit
ted to the first operation for perlton
tits, which permanently destroye,
much of my strength. At this tim
the surgeons stated that l was tn
oldest man ever to undergo such al
experiment.
Il arrived in Paris on January 2
> and met DR.. Voronoff who placed m
in a private hospital. He arrived o.
Monday accompanied by several as
sistants. l did not see the monkey no
any of the preparations, because Dr.
Foronoff first act was to choloroforr
me.
Il am under the impression, how
ever, that the monkey was brought il
alive and placed on second operat
ing table, where 1 was cholorofome,
and the gland taken from his Will
living and at once transferred to me

Guilty and 1 expect to leave the hos
pital young man again in few
days.
Il do not feel any return of you'll
as yet, but DR.. Voronoff assures me
that l will return to middle age with

PLANTER KILLS NEGRO IN DUEL
Automobile and Truck Collide and
Shooting then Follows.

Hartsville, Feb. 6-Friday night
just after dark Mr.. Thomas Wood
ham, Of the Philadelphia section of
Darlington county, was on his way
to Hartsville in his automobile when
ne was shot by a negro named Grow
er Martin. Mr.. Woodham returned the
fire and killed the negro.
Mr.. Woodham was nm his way in
his automobile to HartsvlIIe when,
about five miles from Hartsville, near
Lees Cross Roads, in a sand bed, a
collision occurred between his car
and truck driven by Grover Mar
tin. The truck was headed for Harris
vile. There was another negro man
in the truck with Martin. 1t appears
that when the cars had come togeth-
er Mr.. Woodham alighted and walk
ing up to the truck questioned Mar
tin as to why he had his hand in his
pocket. Thereupon Martin produced n
revolver and commenced firing at
him, striking him in the face Mr..
Woodham returned the fire, killing
the negro.
Coroner's inquest was held here
yesterday and the finding was that
Mr.. Woodham was fully justified in
committing the act, as the negro was
holding Mr.. Woodlands life in jeop-
ardy.
Mr.. Woodham was shot at five
times, three balls taking effect. He
was rushed to an infirmary in Flor
ence. One ball has not yet been 10,
Gated but he is doing as well as could
be expected. 1t appears that Mr.
Woodham is highly thought of in his
community. He is trustee of the
Philadelphia High School and is 6
planter.

HELP MAKE DILLON
A PRETTY TOWN

1t is nearing the time when We all
get out our flower catalogues with
their pictured lovliness of color and
riot of beauty and pour with fascinat-
ed eyes, eagerly making out a long
and varied orders of bulbs and seeds
which we resolve shall go off on the
next mail. In our minds eye we pic
ture these seeds already arrived,
planted and in full perfection of
bloom, making a complete transfor-
nation of our premises. In nine cases
out OF ten we never send off our Or
der or cut it down to just few items
or If We do succeed in getting our
seeds, often they all never get plant
ed but lay up on shelf neglected and
forgotten.
Let Us get that order off this time
and put out more seeds plants and
shrubbery than We ever have before
Dillon has some very pretty trees,
vines and grounds but she needs
more. With her beautiful wide streets
and lovely homes there is no reason
why she should not stand we'll in COM
parison with any town of her size
Let each citizen strive to do his part
toward beautifying our town and
fostering a spirit of civic pride that
Will never be content with anything
less than the best.
This is the last month IN which
trees can be most successfully trim
med and new ones put out. The I'm
provement Club has had the trees on
Main street and the court house
grounds trimmed but each resident
is expected to trim those in front of
his own premises. If you own your
home you will of course want to put
out more trees and If you are only
renting, have enough civic pride to
put out some anyway and help make
our streets delightful and shady. Let
us make up our minds to fill all emp
ty spots in Dillon with flowers and
cover all unsightly fences and build
iEgs with vines and shrubbery.
When all the work up town on the
streets is completed, the business
part of town will present a very at
tractive and neat appearance. Let
ali the merchants and business men
resolve to add to it's attractiveness
by keeping the show windows of
their places of business clean and
shining and above all to keep the
irgs out of the streets.
We expect to have a real "Clean
Up" day soon when not only the
housekeepers but all the men, wom-
en-, teachers and school children will
be asked to put everything down for
few hours in the afternoon and
help give our town a good spring
cleaning.

victed of murder and sentenced to be

The information that the sheriff
had failed to hang Lonnie Eaton
came to Governor Parker this morn

said that he had been so busy on
February 4, the date which the gov

the fact that the negro was to be
hanged completely escaped his
mind"
The sheriff now appeals to the gov

the negro, and the governor has put

ART TEACHERS GETS
PORTION OF MONEY
Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms De-
ctsion In Case OF Red Springs
Woman.

The following dispatch from Rich
mond, Va, Is Of interest to Herald
readers:
Affirming the judgment of the
district court at Lynchburg, the Fed
eral Circuit Court of Appeals today
decided that Miss Virginia Lee Kiser
is entitled to $4,000 Of the estate Of
$4,000 left by Phillip A. Krise, re-
tired banker of that city, who died
February 1, 1917. Miss. .Kiser, an
accomplished art teacher of Red
Springs, N. c., sued for $4,000 fol-
lowing Krise's death, which occurred
at the age of "a, just two years after
he had married Miss Minnie Evelyn
johnson, 38 years old, music instruc-
tor in the Randolph-Macon College
at Lynchburg.
Soon after this marriage, which
took place less than eight months
after the death of his first wife,
Krise was threatened with suit by
Miss Kiser for recovery of part of
his estate as compensation for aban-
doning her profession of artist and
teacher and devoting nearly ten years
Of her life to him and his first wife,
having been practically induced
against her will to come and live with
| 'hShh, uuI IhiouSh the VI
the second wife, no resort to court
action was had at that time, assur-
ance being given according to Miss
Kiser, that provision would be made
for her.
Fear expressed by the second wife
that such action would certainly kill
the aged banker also caused Miss
Kiser to deslst. But she lost no time
bringing suit when Krise died and
his widow Informed her, it was
said, that she had nothing down in
black and white to show that he had
ever promised her anything. Miss
Kiser represented that Mrs. Krlse
number one repeatedly told her that
she loved her as her own daughter.
She helped nurse Mrs. Krise in her
last illness, which followed a surgical
operation at a Baltimre hospital. So
devoted, apparently, were the couple
to her that they made a special trip
to New York in January, 1907, to
meet her when she returned from
an European tour and insisted upon
her staying a week with them at the
Plaza Hotel, although her trunk had
already been checked through to Col
umbus, where she had planned. to
visit relatives.
Not many months after Krise's'
death his widow was married to a
suitor of earlier days. A will made
by Krise three weeks before his death
bequeathed her his entire estate.

QUICK JUSTICE.
Man Arrested, Tried and Convicted in
Less than Two Hours

The record in quick trials after a
crime was committed was broken
Wednesday, when negro, who stole
chickens three miles from Valdosta,
Ga, was arrested, brought to town,
iarraigned, convicted and turned over
to the county chain gang in one hour
and forty-five minutes.
A telephone message to the sher-
iif's office asked that an officer be
excused from court to go to the scene
When he arrived he found negro
with a gun levelled on another neg
ro, who was holding two chickens in
his hand. The negro with the gun eX-
planned 10 the officer that he had
c2ught the other negro in the act.
The prisoner and two witnesses got
III the car with the deputy and went
to the court house, where the court
was in session and ready to take up
the case. The negro whose name is
Thomas was tried by jury, the jur-
ors remaining out after getting their
verdict one hour and forty-five min

termined to try again they thought
him more of fool than ever.
When Field proposed to span the
Atlantic with cable and transmit
messages under the sea, thousands
called him a fool.
When Abraham Lincoln signed the
proclamation of Emancipation strik-
ing the shackles from the arms of
million slaves, other million of
his countrymen said he was a fool to
do such an act.
Many men and women, who have
dared to do something contrary to the
dictates of custom, have been called
tools by their day and generation.
The man who refuses a business con-

the girl who declines to get married
because she believes she could care
for her parents; the preacher who re-
mains in his present charge because
he can do more good there, rather
than take another church at higher
salary, all are thought to be fools by
many people.
