&he thick woods mile from the house
where he took his own life.
Bigham was about forty years olc'
He was unmarried and was son OF
the late Senator L. S. Bigham, who
served several terms in the senate
from Florence county.
Bieham was a civil engineer. The
ONLY surviving members of the Big
ham family now are Edmund Big
ham. who lives at the old home, and
DIR. Cleveland Bigham, whose
whereabouts are unknown. DR.. Big
ham was convicted in the George
town county court several years ago
Of the murder of his wife. He Was
sentenced to three years imprlson-
ment in the penitentiary, but before
he could be taken to prison, jumped
his bond and has not been heard OF
since. The amount of the bond was
$4,000.
Still Uncollected.
The state of South, Carolina has
never been able to collect the bona

hands Of the attorney general for set

Bigham estate is responsible for the
money, all the members of the fam

l.. S. Bigham has been suspected OF
mutilating the county records for the
purpose of getting hold of the estate

DR.. Cleveland Bigham left Florence
the Bighams transferred their inter

Began Cain, the only member of the
family not on the bond. All the
deeds to the thousand or more acres
of land bear her name.
Since her death, it is stated, that
Bigham has been attempting to gel
a settlement from her husband who
is a deputy sheriff of this county, but
the matter has not been closed. Sew

Another innovation in the detective
bureaus equipment is a steel shield, as.
high as mans head, from behind
which the operatives can direct, in
comparative safety. their fire at ban
dts barricaded in a building. This
portable armor is mounted on rollers,
and is light enough, so that one man
can operate it. Port holes, through
which to fire, and a heavy glass peep

This after recording the decisive vic

The Graphic can't find better words
to demonstrate why the republican par

Judging from the Headlight the de-

out political intelligence. They have
all Of right and justice ON their side
but are too tired to urge their claim

WHY MAKE AN INVESTIGATION

why make any investigation in regard
20 the use Of uniformed men at the
polls on election day, September 2OF
THE Headlight has already tried the
case and promuleates the following
rather scrambled verdict;
"The boys who were on duty on elec-
tiou day, 4 reports received from Of
fetal sources are accurate, simply al
lowed their enthusiasm as soldiers go
too far in wearing their uniforms "
aud again;
"Tha mistake IN connection with the
presence OF uniformed men at the poll
ing places lies squarely ON the com
mandr of the local troop, who Is, ii
may be presumed. posted on the regn-
lalions governing the management OF
the organization and the uses to which

commander % the organization had

voters"
