BANK AT HEMINGWAY.
Bank Examiner Authorizes 1t to Re-
open.

State Bank Examiner w. w. Brad
ley was in Kingstree Saturday after
noon and stated to The County Record
that he had authorized the Bank of
Hemingway at Hemingway, to reopen
for business on Tuesday, May 80.
This bank was taken over by the state
bank examiner some weeks ago and
closed on account of it's inability to
realize on it's outstanding loans and
the consequent decrease of its cash
operating capital. Old depositors of
the bank have agreed to leave their
deposits with the bank, subject to
check quarterly, beginning October
1. Accounts of new depositors will
be subject to check as heretofore in
the ordinary course of business, said
Examiner Bradley.
Arrangements were made by the
examiner to secure funds with which
to reopen the bank on safe busi-
ness basis and he assures its custom
ers that their interests will be fully
protected in the future conduct of the
bank.

"Uncle Joe" Getting Ready to Quit.

A dispatch from Washington to the
New York World says: "Uncle Joe"
Cannon is winding up his congression-
al career in the role Of Santa Claus
for his constituents. Although he is
not seeking reelection, "Uncle Joe"
is working for the home folks as
though he were facing his hottest
campaign.
And he gets wnat he wants. Hat
on one side and cigar between his
teeth, Mr.. Cannon commands the
services of everyone. Doormen, ele-
vator boys and private secretaries
stop their own work to put him right,
and he steps in ahead Of other con-
gressmen and lands jobs for his fol-
lowers.
"It pays to keep a man here a
while. People get to know him." said
one Republican member, who was
waiting in the post office department
yesterday only to see the veteran
come in after him and get the job
from under his nose.

matrons of honor who come to Rich
mond for the Confederate reunion,

families may travel at the rate of one
cent per mile. Members of affiliated

return at the rate of a one-way fare.
The city is making preparations to

be increased several times by the

one of the most elaborate reunions IN
the history of the United Confederate

features during this reunion will be
the laying of the cornerstone of
monument to Matthew Fontaine
Maury, "The Pathfinder Of the Seas"

federate navy.

WELL KNOWN FARMER LOSES
LIFE WHILE DRIVING HOME
MONDAY AFTERNOON.

Richard w. Spivey, well known
farmer residing about eight miles
from this place on the Kingstree-Man-
ming highway was killed about TOO
o'clock Monday evening when his Ford
car overturned at a point on the road
about five miles from Kingstree. Mr..
Spivey was alone in the car at the
time of the fatal accident, but Messrs
Alex Blakeley and Wallace Mcintosh
were following some distance behind,
going to Mr.. Spiveys plase to look
at his tobacco. Suddenly they noted
that his car had disappeared and
there was cloud Of dust ahead.
Upon reaching the point where the
car disappeared they found that Mr..
Spivey's car had turned several sum-
ersaults and his body was discov-
cred in a clump of briars some dis
tance from the road. They took him
out of the briars, apparently alive,
and hurried to the home of neighbor
to phone for a doctor, when they re-
turned to him he was dead. 1t was
later discovered that his neck had
been broken. The deceased is surviv-
ed by his wife and three children.

Sad Death of Little Boy in Florence.

Master George Nelson Cox, the nine
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E.
Cox, of Florence, died Monday morn
ing, death following an illness of only
a few hours.
Death resulted from a mysterious
aff1iction of the brain the nature Of
which the attending physicians have
not identified positively though the
symptoms were as of hydrophobia.
The affliction is apprehended to have
been hydrophobia, because year ago
this month the little fellow was bit
ten by mad dog. He was given the
Pasteur treatment Immediately at that
time but this treatment is relative
ly protective and not positively pro-
tective, as the medical profession
states.
Master George was pupil in the
second grade of the Park school, in
which he was popular little fellow.
He was just eight years and eight
morths of age, the second of three
children in the home. He leaves, be-
sides his parents, an older brother,
Master "Billie" and baby sister, Vir-
ginia Catherine.
The physicians are reluctant to say
positively that the death was from
hydrophobia, caused by the dogs bite
of year ago. But the family, from
what the physicians told them, believe
this was the cause. Little George
Cox has paid the supreme price but it
may not have been in vain, if his loss
arouses sentiment against dogs run
ming at large on the streets of Flor
ence and compels this menance to
children and adults to be stopped.
This, his family and his friends, in
their bereavement, fell.--Florence

Kingstree high and graded schoo
terminated Monday night with the
final exercises of the graduating class
numbering fourteen pupils. The ex'
ercises were we'll attended by the
towns people and each pupil did hin
or herself credit in rendering theil
respective parts of the program.
The debate by the Literary society
Friday night was highly interesting
end entertaining for the audience
The debaterS on either side acquitted
themselves in admirable style. The
Judges awarded the decision to the
negative side of the query: Resolv-
ed that Kinsgtree should spend $780,
900 in the next twelve months in

1t was busy week for the teach
ers and they measured up nobly to
their task, each one seemed to put
her whole heart into the work she
was now bringing to close.
The decorations on the rostrum
were never more beautiful, present
ing as they did a garden effect, with
trellices embelished with vines and
flowers.
The commencement sermon was
preached to the graduating class Sun
day morning by the Rev. Mr.. Poy-
ner of St. Johns Episcopal church,
Florence. He used Esaw and Jacab

theme was tho attainment of higher
and nobler things in life. He en-
phasized the drifter, or idler as a
character to be Stunned. He urged
his hearers to be ambitious and make
their lives worth while. Music for
this occasion was rendered by a spe-
cial choir and the selections rendered
were greatly enjoyed. The service

feet in Mr.. Hills legs. He was taken
at once by friends to his home and
at the time his wounds were not
thought to be serious. The loss of

DEPORTING ALIEN RUM SELLERS
The bill passed by the national HOUSE
of Representatives by vote of more
than three to one, authorizing the dc.
portation of aliens convicted in state
or federal courts on charges of having
violated the narcotic or Volstead acts
appears to be too drastic altogether
and to jeopardize the enforcement OF
those laws, particularly the law relat-
ing to the prohibition of the sale Of
liquor. In effect, such a proposed law
would place the keeping or selling OF
liquor on the same plane as conspiracy
against the government, for it would
make the consequence Of such violation
in each case Punishment from the coun-
try. To our way Of thinking, the
breaking of the liquor law, while rep
rehensible, is by no means to be COM
pared with the crime Of trying to over
throw the government and, therefore,
it should not be punished in part by
the same penalty as that in conspiracy
against the which is, de-
portation. Theact of an alien in selling
liquor should not mean that that alien
has forfeited all right to the privileges
and advantages of residence under the
flag of the United States; nor does it
mean that that alien coulA not, by pro-
cess of change, become good citizen
of the United States. We do not de-
port aliens who commit the crime of
burglary, nor the far more serious
crime of murder; nor most of the al
most countless crimes in the calendar
of offenses between those two offenses.
Why should we discriminate, then,
against the comparatively mild offend
er who sells liquor contrary to the law
of the landg
In the next case, it would be FAR
more difficult to convict offenders
against the Volstead act il the law
should make it compulsory that con-
vieted persons be deported. Juries
which hear these cases, in most IN
stances of prosecution would not be
inclined to convict if there was such
a likelihood ahead, unless the evidence
was entirely irrefutable. So the en-
forcement of the Volstead act would
suffer in consequence of the passage
of such an act as that proposed. These
considerations would seem to be very
weighty against such a proposed law.

The 300-mile horse endurance test
comes back to Vermont after being
tried out for year on route be-
tween Camp Vail, N. j., and Washing
ton, D. G. Vermont's more cushioned
roads undoubtedly contributed greatly
to the decision to return, for the hard,
coated roadbeds of other sections cf
the east are bad for the horses in a
long test of this sort.
