Bad Luck and
Errors Beat Birds

Playing in the worst luck that has
hit them this season, the Blackbirds
went down to defeat Sunday after
noon before the aggressive Cameron
Pierson team to the tune of 5 to 2.
None of the "birds" apparently
were able to solve the elusive curves
of Mccoy, the visiting hurler, and
although time after time as abird bat
ter returned to the bench telling the
world in general and his teammates in
particular that, ''that guy hasn't
got a thing" the locals were only
capable of getting three hits off of
his delivery.
However Bogalusa canot blame her
downfall to the pitching of Poole,
on the contrary, the iron armed boy
kept the score down, by tanning nine
Of the visitors, and allowing but five
hits, however these five placed at
opportune moments served to shatter
the already diminishing morale of the
Blackbirds, and when old man ink
started his work, they were speedily
put out Of the running the three first
runs were made off of one single hit,
wild pitches and errors being response
BILE
The visitors scored first in the
fourth, when Moore walked to first
on four pitched balls, stole second,
and scored on Voters wild throw
to catch Schrader at first, the big
paper salesman reached second on
this same throw, stole third while
Fassman was striking out Landing
hit with a pitched ball was placed
on first, and advanced to second
when Bauder was passed also. In at
to catch Bauder off base
VOTERS hard luck held, and the ball
going low, bounced off the ground
scoring both Schrader and Landing,
Bauder reached second, and arrived
on third before Licquor was issued
a pass also, in attempting to make a
double steal, Bauder was caught, and
Smith popped out to lobe.
Voter brought in the first score
for the locals when he reached first,
on a tumble by the visiting pitcher
who throwing wild to first, allowed
Voter to reach third before the ball
was retrieved. He came in on Smiths
sacrifice to second.
The visitors scored again in the
eighth, when Moore hit by Poole adj
vanced to third on the hit of Schrad-
er missed by Verrett, and Fassman's
single brought them both romping
home The next three men were easy
infield put outs.
Manager Black made the other
score for his team in the eighth, by
picking his balls and walking, arriv-
ing at second on a wild throw, stole
third, and came in on Voters hit.
Confident Of staging another eleven
tn inning finish, the Birds came to the
bat in the ninth, and went down in
one, two, three, order.

POsTON FORMERLY CONVICTED.
Sentenced to Serve Two Years. Par
doned Before Reahcing Penitentiary

Tom Poston now in the state peni-
tentiary at Columbia for safe keeping
charged with the killing of ]. H. Mil
Ter on the public road near Cades on
May eth, it will be remembered, was
convicted in the General Sessions
court here in 1914 for the alleged kill
ing of an old negro man at his home
near Cades. He was sentenced to
serve two years in the penitentiary
but was pardoned by former Governor
Blease before being sent to the prison.
Poston has been employed for some
time as chain gang guard and killed
a negro prisoner under his charge
about year ago, it is said.
Poston has been visited in the peni-
tiary by newspaper men of the city,
but has so far had nothing to say by
way of explanation of his terrible act.
When asked direct questions concern
ing the tragedy he has either answer
ed evasively or remained silent.
1t is understood that Lake City citi-
zens have engaged Congressman.
Stoll, former solicitor of this judicial
circuit to assist the prosecution at the
trial of Poston. 1t is probable that
the case will come up at the June
term of the Sessions Court.

BIGHAM'S PLEA DENIED
Body Refuses to Grant Writ of Habeas
Corpus.

The State Supreme Court in an
opinion handed down at Columbia last
Thursday refused to grant the writ
of habeas corpus asked by Edmund D.
Bigham, convicted at Florence, March
%, this year, of the murder of Smiley
Bigham, his brother, at Pamplico,
Florence county.
At the time that Smiley Bigham was
murdered, his mother, sister and his
sisters two adopted Children were
killed. Edmund D. Bigham, has been
indicted for the other alleged mur-
ders, but has not been tried for them
yet.
Through his attorneys, Bigham
pleaded that the court that convicted
him lacked jurisdiction, in that it
was held two days over the statutory
limit; or that it should have ended
March 26, but instead Judge R. w.
Memminger, continued it through
March %, when he was scheduled to
open court at Georgetown. This opin-
ion brushed this reasoning aside with
a question from the court which al
lows Judge to extend the time of his
court for the trial of the cases, and
the chief justice has to appoint a
special Judge to open his other court.
Bigham's petition likewise contended
that, if the court granted his habeas
corpus plea, then he would have to be
freed; for, as he had already been
convicted by the jury, his life could
not be jeopardized for the same Of
fense by another trial.

How Many Bales of Cotton Have You?

For statistical purposes only every
farmer in Williamsburg county who
has cotton in his possession not stor-
ed in a regular warehouse is request
ed to report the number Of bales on
hand to The County Record or to Mr..
George A. McElveen as soon as pos
sible. The object is to find out if pos
sible, just how many bales of cotton
there are remaining unsold and held
by Williamsburg farmers. 1t is an
easy matter to compute the number
of bales in regular Warehouses, but,
it would be great task to get at the
number of bales held at gins and by
individuals over the county unless they
will volunteer this information by
phone or letter, either to The Record
or Mr.. McElveen.

Pershing Appeals to Young Men.

General Pershing appealed today to
the young men of the country to at
tend the Citizens Training Camps to
be held this summer and thus aid the
War Department to build up "train-
ed citizen reserve organized to meet
the emergency of war;"
"Our position and influence in world
affairs" said Gen. Pershing, "are not
measured by our wealth and popula-
ton nor by our free and liberal form
of government, but by our purpose to
maintain the high principles of JUS
tice and humanity upon which our inr
stitutions are founded. The fulfill
ment of this purpose depends upon our
readiness to defend its integrity.
"Our traditions are opposed to the
maintenance of large standing army,
but we have persistently failed to
train our citizens in time of peace and
have waited until war was declared
before making move to that end.
While recognizing that every citizen
may be called as a soldier, we have
never emphasized the obligation of the
individual to prepare himself to serve
his country. Yet that is debt to the
country that falls upon all of US.
From a pureley military standpoint
our policy should provide; first a per-
manent military establishment large
enough to guard against sudden at
tack; second, force sufficient to NEE.
our international obligations, par;
ticularly on the American continent;
third, such force as may be necessary
to meet our internal requirements;
fourth, a trained citizen reserve Or
eanized to meet the emergency of
war"
Many benefits result from the sys-
tematic training Of civilians through
such camps as the War Department
purposes to conduct, the General con-
tinued, including the inculcation in
the youth of the country of respect
for constituted authority and the prin-
ciples Of self disipline. Such training
also encourages initiative and gives
young men confidence in their abilities
in addition to developing physical
vigor and manliness and fostering
the national spirit cf patriotism, the
General added.

Bishop Gambler Tells Good Story.

Bishop Warren A. Gambler, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
in an address in the interest of
the Christian education movement.
which among other things will
provide a million-dollar aid fund for
the benefit of worthy students, relat-
ed the following incident:
"Years ago when | was a college
president 1 attended a certain, district
conference and made a speech for
Emory college. There was present a
Colonel-a sure enough Colonel. The
Colonel interrupted me and said, "My
father gave $4,000 to Emory college
before the war. l would like to know
what has become of it." That gave
me my chance. l said to him, "11l
tell you what became of it. The trus-
tees were very wise. They made such
an investment of that fund that they
have it still. 1t is in such men as l..
@. C. Lamar, Atticus G. Haywood,
Young j. Allen, and host of others
who have helped to make this country
great and their fellowmen strong and
happy. What has become of that
money your father invested in negroes
before the war? 1t is all gone. En-
ory's five thousand is still returning
dividends.
1t is stated by prominent Methodists
ir this section that no objective Of the
Christian education movement is more
important than the million-dollar aid
fund. Some such provision is said to
be absolutely necessary, since it is
estimated that three fourths of all
ministerial and missionary students
must receive financial assistance, and
that the whole question of the quail
ty and quantity of Christian work
ers is question of financial assistance
during the period of preparation.
Leaders in the Methodist church say
that the need for a loan fund is
greater now than ever before, not only
because the need for Christian work
ers is greater, but because there has
never been a time in the history of the
church when so many young men and
women were hoping and praying for
an opportunity to devote their lives
to Christian service. They say that
the names of these volunteers are
flowing in constantly to officers in
headquarters and the letters echo the
same refrain, "Will the church help
US to get an education for our task?"
1t is expected that in the approach
ing drive for s33, ,000, 900 to be conduct
ed May 29-June 5, that many gifts
will be directed to the million-dollar
Christian Workers Educational Aid
Fund" It is said that $3.50 will buy
a share in this permanent loan fund.
