mysterious circumstances and evidence
gathered points to Richardson as the
one who might have been responsible
for his death. Coroner Caskey went to
Heath Springs yesterday with view
to having the body of Frazier taken
up for examination, but on account Of
its, being buried so long it was decid-
cd there was nothing TO be gained by

Cherokee Times. (Gaffney), August
q: Yesterday was; field day with offy-
GERS Scrugs, Massey and L. H, Allison.
Early yesterday morning, accompanied
ty Jesse Massey, these officers visited
the Kings Mountain battle-ground sec
tion and Just over the line in York
county, they found a forty-five gallon
still, and about 500 gallons of beer
which was just ready for use. The. Of
ficers described the still as being up
to-date in every respect, and said that
the worm was of copper. and. looked
very much like q government worm,
There was no one at the plant and the
officers have no clue as to the owners
Of the plant, From the appearance Of
things around the plant, the officers
say that it had been in use for quite
long time, and that many gallons OF
moonshine had been manufactured
there. .nAn interesting case was
heard in magistrates court in Gaffney
last Thursday. Ed Johnson, a negro
man, was struck on the head some
months ago by his. wife, and as re-
suit was confined to the local hospital
fol several weeks. Johnson had an in
surapce accident policy in the Liberty
Life Insurance mompany, and when he
made a disability claim for ten weeks
at 81 per week, his claim was rejected
by the company on the ground first,
that inasmuch as the injury was caus-
cd by the beneficiary, who was his
wife, and further that the policy was
in Arrears as to the payment of pre-
nllums while Ed was in the hospital.
The first trial some weeks ago. before
u jury, resulted in q verdict for the
plaintiff for the sum of S25.00. Both
parties to the suit agreed upon a new
trial, the last one being before the
magistrate without jury. After hear
ing the testimony of tho plaintiff, to
tho effect that his wife did strike him,
but at the time of going to the hospit-
al the premiums had been paid in full,
the magistrate gave judgments for the
full amount of the claim and interest.
.........-~Jim, Russell, negro who lives
near Dallas, n. c., came to Gaffney
last Friday and had a warrant issued
for the arrest of Bud Glover another
negro, who was charged with stealing
Kusell's 13-year-old daughter and
marrying her at Gaffney. Russell said
that Glover had visited his house oc-
casionally during the past four months
but that as his daughter was only a
child, he had no reason to suspect that
there was anything serious between
them. especially as Glover never paid
any marked attention to her. On COM
ing to Gaffncy, Glover went to the pro-
late judges Office, where he obtained
= marriage license, the girl making an
affidavit that she was 20 years of age.
Mrs. Marie Cory, who performed the
marriage ceremony, says that the girl
looked to be at least IS years of age,
end rs she stated that she was 20, the
statement was accepted without ques-
ton. People who saw the girl were
impressed, as was Mrs. Cory, as to
her age. Russell says that she was
born in 1909, and that he has records
which will prove this statement. Glov-
er was committed to jail in default of
bond, and an examination will be held
next Tuesday.
