County Plans Issue

Sheffield, March 25.--(Special) -Diseus-
sion Of the extra session of the legisla-
ture for the purpose of again submitting
the $S.oo.0Oo bond amendment is noted in
this county. Opinion varies as to the
success of the amendment should the
governor call the legislature and again
submit the question
Generally speaking, the expressions
heard indicate that the county will ratify
the amendment. However, the people will
need assurances that no further tax bur-
dens will be incurred and that should
other amendments be submitted at the
same time, 1t will endanger the success
of the road bond amendment Colbert
county gave a substantial majority for
the bonds at the last election, and while
considerable opposition is heard now, it
is believed that this will not be of suf-
fcent force to defeat the Amendment
County Commissioner Blackburn has in
Dictated that this county has but one rem
edy for improving roads, and that is a
county bond issue This official points
out that $500 900 for roads would put the
county in good shape, and that the bonds
SO issued would be the most economical
step that could be taken. Good road sem
timent in this county is increasing, and
1t is probable that the county commits

ton OF issuing road bonds to the people.

CLAIM BIGHAM SEEN
WITH GUN IN HAND

Florence. S. c.. March 25.-Testimony
that Edmund Bigham, On trial for the
murder of his mother brother, sister
and the latter's two adopted children,
had been seen going to the woods
where his brothers body later was
found, and also that he had been seen
with pearl-handled revolver, such as
was later found in the dead mans
hand, was given at Bigham's trial here
today Threats against the family also
were charged to the defendant.
The state charges that Edmund Big
ham killed the members of his family
over financial troubles, and in an eff
fort to support this it brought testi-
mony of Mrs. Ola Kirton, a neighbor,
that Mrs. Margie Black, the sister who
Mas killed, had expressed fear of some
person whom she did not name who
she said had stolen some blank signed
deeds to her property.
Smiley Bigham. the brother who was
killed. had also expressed fear that
Edmund Bigham would kill all of them,
according to Mrs. Kirton, who quoted
him as saying in her presence:
Edmund is cutting up a lot and
threatening to kill all of u.s. He has
had all that is coming to him. but we
are willing to give him piece of land
If he will behave himself"

ROBERT MANTELL'S
MACBETH" THRILLS
LARGE AUDIENCE

The large audience which greeted
Robert Mantell at the jefferson thea
tire last night, the fifth night of his
current engagement in Birmingham.
was proof that the classic drama and
an actor of the first rank may count
on liberal support from Birmingham
playgoers. His engagement SO far has
been quite successful, both from Fl
pancial and an artistic point Of view.
In Macbeth Mr.. Manten finds an
other role well suited to his great
ability in portraying the more rugged
characters Of Shakespeare. There is
no subtlety' about Macbeth. He is
credulous and vacillatir,s, and not even
the urge of his vaulting ambition
would have led him to enter upon his
bloody career had it not been for the
more masterful mind of Lady Mac
beth, whose own desire for power is
even greater and more INSCRIPTIONS
than that of her lord Macbeth brutal
~ murders Duncan, but once the crown
is on his head the weight of guilt is
heavy upon his soul.
While Macbeth" lacks the finish of
some of the other Shakespearean
plays. it is a tremendously impressive
drama and contains many lines that
are the property of the world. Mr..
Manten's Macbeth is a moving imper-
sonation of bloody minded tyrant
who is nevertheless tortured by a SUI
perstitious fear of retribution. The
vigor of his acting and the perfection
OF his delivery in speaking the i'm
mortal lines OF this play make it one
OF his most vivid and convincing por-
trayals
Miss Hamper is not the type of
actress best suited to such part as
Lady Macbeth, who is drawn with bold
strokes and is by no means a char
acter to love or admire, but she played
the role with fine dramatic effect, par
ticularly in the famous sleep walking
scene.
Henry Buckler as Duncan, Guy
Llndsley' as Malcolm; John Alexander
as Banquo and George Stillwell as
Macduff presented the other principal
roles. All are capable actors and by
their efforts contributed much to i
fine and satisfying performance. The
three witches were portrayed by Miss
Scott Miss Reynolds and Miss Col
burn.

WILLIAMS ANSWERS
GARY'S STATEMENT
Charges Excessive Steel Prices
the Active Cause of
Unemployment
BY Associated Press


. Richmond, March 25.-Declaring
that high prices OF steel and iron
products are blocking the road TO
dition of the railroads of America is
partly due to exorbitant prices of. steel
and iron materials, John SHELTON Will
liams. comptroller of the currency
during the Wilson administration, and
now chairman of the board of directors
of the Richmond Trust company, has
issued an exhaustive reply to the re-
cent statement of Judge Ebert II.
Gary, chairman of the board of the
United States Steel corporation.
Mr.. Williams charges that the ex-
cessive prices for steel and iron have
now become an active cause of unen-
pIoyment and of widespread suffering.
He says steel and iron products. from
iron ore to structural steel, are still
being maintained at prices 100 per cent
above the pre-war basis, while other
metals, such as copper, lead and tin,
on which the United States Steel cor
poration does not have the same DOM
mating influence that it has in steel
and iron, have all returned to pre-
war basis or less
Mr.. Williams also claims that the
present desperate condition" of the
railroads is partly attributable to the
enormously inflated prices which they
have been required to pay. and ara
still being required to pay, for their
supplies, principally products of steel
and iron
Excessive cost of materials and the
indefensibIe exactions of interest aloha.
with high wages and salaries, he says
are principally responsible for the
present desperate plight" of the trans-
portation lines.
