BICHAM MAY FACE
TRIAL TO-DAY.
GRAND JURY RETURNS TRUE
BILLS.-CHANGE OF VENUE
WAS DENIED.

Florence, March 21.-Edmund D.
Bigham will in all likelihood be call
ed to trial Thursday morning on the
charge of numbering his mother, Mrs
NJ. NJ. Bigham; his sister, Mrs. Margie
A Black; his brother, L. Smiley Big
ham, and John and Leo McCracken,
two adopted children of Mrs. Black.
This afternoon the grand jury in
the Florence county court of general
sessions returned true bills against
him in five seperate counts charging
murder. Bigham was Immediately
arraigned and entered pleas of not
guilty. A. L. King, attorney for
Bigham, then presented his motion
for change of venue which was re-
fused by Judge Memnninger. The at
torney for the defense gave notice OF
motion for a continuance and this
Will be heard tomorrow morning. 1t
is the general expectation that the
case will come to trial Thursday, the
defense insisting upon the usual days
between arraignment and trial. The
court room was packed when Big
ham appeared this afternoon and
every eye turned toward him when he
Stepped lightly into the dock. He
was clean shaven and looked younger
AID IN better health than be appear
ed to be on the day following the
murders at the plantation home near
i'amplico. He displayed no emotion
when the solicitor read the indict-
rnents to him and he pronounced the
words "Not guilty" in a strong and
steady voice. During the arguments
fer and against transfer of the case
Bigham kept his eyes, first on the
solicitor and then on his attorney,
A. L. King. Occasionally he turned
his gaze toward the judge. He ap-
peared to be wholly unconscious OF
the presence of anybody else in the
loom except the attorneys and judge.
In dismissing the request for
transfer of the case to some other
county in this circuit, Judge Mem
minger declared that he believed the
defendant could secure just as fair
and impartial trial in Florence coun-
ty as he could in any other county
in the state. "The court will see to
it", he said, "that he is fully pro-
tected in his rights"

TO SOLVE RACE PROBLEM,
Worked Out on Basis of Cooperation
and Sympathy.

DR.. R. r. Motion, principal of Tus-
kegee institute, addressing an au-
dience of white people and negroes re-
Gently az Charlotte, N. c., predicted
that the race problem is going to be
worked out here in the south, and
that on a basis of understanding, CO.
operation, sympathy and good will.
ALREADY a new spirit of good will
and sympathy between the races has
made its appearance, said the negro
leader.
"There may be some who believe
that the problem can be settled by
each of the two races working sepa-
rately and at cross purposes, but
do not believe that it can be done that
way" said DR.. Motion, and added:
"The south is studying itself in the
mirror of public opinion. Especial
ly is this true in the matter of race
relations. And a just and satisfy
ing settlement of this question is not
far distant when the South begins
to find fault with itself and correct
these faults according to its findings.
This self criticism is manifested in the
efforts for cooperation between the
races, and it has given birth to a new
spirit Of good will and sympathy be-
tween them.
There may be a better way to
work out this problem than the one
which is founded upon mutual trust,
confidence and good will between the
races, but nave not discovered it."
"We should thank our God every
cay for placing our race alongside
that of the whites" declared DR.. r,
R. Motion, principal of Tuskegee in
stitute in an address before an
audience Of $500 at Greenville Mon
Gay night. He asserted that the negro
is indebted to the white people for his
language, his religion and countless
ether things; that the negro race gos
more out of slavery than the whites,
He appealed to tine negroes to re-
main in the south and work out their
destiny in full cooperation with the
white people.

children | am talking about. You
don't want any silly, foppish, vain
nothing to teach your chilGrcn. Now,
how are your gong t. get The right
/ kind without paying for it. Therefore,
Mr.. Foreman and gentlemen, let's get
our ideals up =: the m'.i and women
who are to teach our ,hhdlt l. the
years to come, and let's leave out the
class who are not worthy. .ome who
are now teaching are not fit to teach.
Some of them don't know anything
about the bo ks they teach; Just
enough to get by the county board,
So, Mr.. Foreman and gentlemen,
right at the bottom of our education
a! system, let's get our ideals up.
Many of our people are so sordid when
1t comes to paying out money that the
first thing they want to economlze
on is the teacher. I am an econom-
ist, but I don't believe that that is
economy when it comes to the edu-
cation and development of our chill
dren. I told the Grand Jury over at
Sumter the other day an incident that
| read in the paper. There were three
farmers in Kentucky. They bought
good stallion. Then got a veterl-
nary surgeon to take care Of that
horse. Well, that is good judgement.
They paid this veterinary surgeon
$2700.0O a year to take care of that
horse. The next week it became
necessary for them to hire school
teacher. They hired little girl for
s25.OO a month, 100000 year to
teach. There is conception now OF
what a horse was worth to I: business
man and what his child is worth. Now,
you say this is an extreme case, but
people in your county, if not ir your
county in some of the adjoining
counties have done the same thing,
and when it comes to letting some
body teach the children, they get the
cheapest little girl they can. Now,
Mr.. Foreman and gentlemen, let's
get our IDEAS in line. 1t is all right
for us to have good horses, but the
greatest possession we have in our
county, in. our state and in our nation
is our children, and while we can not
say what they are going to be-some
of them will 20 to the bad-but we
can put them in the proper environ
r.ent-give them good teachers and
see that they go. No use to get goot'
teachers and buildings if they do not
so. Children don't get any benent
from the school if they do not go reg
uIarly. A mind does not grow If it
is here one day and over yonder the
rext day, and if you are going to let
Your child go fishing today and to
school the next day and expect him
learn anything, you are going to
be- disappointed. | have taught
school myself and I know what l am
talking ABOUT, and if a child does not
20 to school regularly, you can not 90
much for him. Now, we have COM
pulsory law. We have been long
time in getting it. 1t is shame on
Us that We have waited so long, but
we can not help the past, but we cali
help the future. If we see that the
children of this generation attend the

horse and buggy. You want to hand
down to your children better govern
ment than you had yourselves, and
therefore you will look into this mat
ter and make such suggestions that
occur to YOU.
Then, again, Mr.. Foreman, there are
the county chain gangs, the county
jail and the poor house. Have you got
a poor house? Well, l am glad you
lave got no poor people in this county
Qaughter). You will look after your
public buildings, your county court
house. You have beautiful con-
stuction here, and it looks to me like
it has had some attention lately. Ir
some counties that I go to people chew
to5acco and spit on the floor. l don't
see the people splitting on the floors
at home in the parlors, especially if the
n, an has a wife. If anybody here has
got to chew tobacco, let him go out
side and spit all he wants to. | don't
think there is anybody in the court
house that would spit on nice, cleab
floor like this, but if you should have
such a person, let's don't put up with
him at all. He is out of date. Peo-
PIE are not allowed up north to spit
Oh the streets. 1t not only spreads
disease, but it is too filthy for US to
discuss. So, therefore, Mr.. Foreman
and gentlemen, you will lo'k after
your court house and l will try to help
you keep it clean this week. Some one
has called my attention to this. they
have just fixed up this court house,
end they want me to help them out.
Now, Mr.. Foreman and gentlemen
you have officers in charge o. this, and
I am nor saying they don't do their
work, but when you find man doing
his duty. commend him for it. Don't
wait until he is dead and gone anil
then send some flowers to his grave.
| | think an encouraging word given to
them now will be appreciated by them,
and it will inspire them to give you
better service, but, Mr.. Foreman, and
gentlemen, a good officer does not ges
very much encouragement, if he has
done his duty, give him word OF COM
inendation.
Now, Mr.. Foreman, and gentlemen,
there is one subject that it is for the
Judges to comment on that is always
with US, and that is your educational
system. Of course, you have super
intendent of education, and you are
not going to try to run his office, but
as grand jurors of this county, you
want to know the condition of the
educational system. Now, this is a
big subject, and 1 shall not attempt to
go into it at any length. don't know
that can add anything that you do
not know already, but l would ike
to impress upon you its paramount
! importance. You know that is one Of
the things that is worth thinking
at out. 1t does not matter how edu-
Gated you may become, your child, as
soon as it is born, has got to start
light from the beginning, and it has
got to work it out in slow painful ef-
forts through the coming years. Now,
you may accumulate all the know
ledge of all the books, but you can
not transmit it to him by heredity.
He has got to get it just like you got
it, by books, experience, and hard
knocks, so that the question: of edit
eating your children is Fight at the
foundation of your progress; and, Mr..
