Boy Scout Activities.

During the past several days the
local Boy Scouts have been active in
sports. Probably the most outstand-
ing among their events was the ball
game last Thursday afternoon, when
they crossed bats with the McClel-
lanville Boy Scouts, defeating the
McClellanville Scouts by score OF
s to 2.
Another Scout game is scheduled
for this afternoon, when the local
Scouts will meet the Lake City Scouts
on the Kingstree diamond. Proceeds
from these games will be used by the
Scouts to defray expenses incurred
on a proposed camping trip to Muir
reIs Inlet, for which place they will
leazl Wednesday of next week.

FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION
TENTATIVE PLANS ARE BEING
MADE BY LOCAL POST OF THE
AMERICAN LEGION.

Tentative plans are being made by
a committee from the Williamsburg
Post American Legion for a Fourth
of July Celebration to be held at the
fair grounds in Kingstree on that
date. The entire fair grounds have
been secured by the committee and
every effort is being made to arrange
a program which will be interesting
to the large crowd the committee
hopes to have here on that day.
Among the chief features of the
day will be a good ball game, as no
Fourth of July occasion would be
complete without this national game,
which has gained international note.
So far the program has not been suf-
ficiently completed to name the clubs
that will compete here on that day,
but strong teams win be secured and
a good game will be given baseball
fans.
It is quite likely that the race tract
will be brought into use on this day
also and give admirers of good horses
and experts in horsemanship a chance
to show what they have, as horse rae
ing is also one Of the features being
contemplated for this day.
A shooting tournament consisting
of rifles, pistol and trap shooting con-.
tests is also being given consideration
and it is very likely that this feature
will hold much interest for a num-
Der of the attendants Of the celebra-
ton, as it is hoped to get together
most of the crack shots of this sec
ton with their different firearms and
have a contest which will in itself
be an exhibition.
Other interesting contests which
will admit the ladies as well as the
men are being arranged and will be
announced on the program to be pub
lished at later date.
A good brass band will be secured
to furnish music for the day, and it
is hoped to have arrangements made
so that attendants at the celebration
may secure their dinner at the
grounds. This plan has not been
completed so far, but will be announc-
ed on the regular program when pub
ished.
It is understood that prizes will be
offered in the various contests, and
it will be to the interest Of those
who can take part in any of them to
groom themselves for the big frolic.

married his wife in 1912, had lived
in the Bigham home three years, up

Edmund came to South Carolina et
that time and expressed no interest

writing and was surprised at the style
shown in the alleged letters of Smiley

on the typewriter and never wrote
any letters on the typewriter. Rela-
tive to the saw mill which Miller
mentioned intending to buy from
Smiley, he said Smiley had been run

WIND and RAIN
CAUSE MANY DEATHS
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
SWEPT BY STORM
SUNDAY.

SONDAAs
Wind of hurricane velocity, the
outrider of a torrential rain storm
that swept from the eastern edge OF
New Jersey across New York City
and over Westchester county late
Sunday afternoon, was responsible
for many deaths, hundreds of minor
accidents, large destruction of proper
ty and riots of panic at traffic term
inalS and pleasure resorts.
The most numerous fatalities were
drownings off City Island of men and
women in rowboats. Sixty bodies had
been recovered Monday and many
persons remained not accounted for
A Ferris wheel at Clason Point Park
in the Bronx was blown into Long
Island Sound, causing deaths of six
and serious injury to thirty-fve per-
sons.
A tree was blown over on the brick
chimney of Red Lion Inn on the Bos-
ton Post Road, and the chimney fell
through the roof of the restaurant,
killing a woman and child.
Drivers of motor cars were caught
under falling trees, one woman dying
in such an accident near Hackensack
and a man near Piping Rock, l. /.
A tree in Mount Vernon, which had
been condemned because dangerously
decayed, fell on woman and child
killing both.
Electric power wires in Newark
blown down, caused the death OF a
man who stepped on one.
Rain and wind caused damage es-
timated at $1,000,000 in and about
Syracuse, N. Y. All the upper mid
die section of the state suffered IN
some degree.
Two hundred and fifty boats were
capsized by the gale in the vicinity
of City Island and score or more
of persons are known to have been
drowned, while forty have been re-
ported to the police as missing.
The storm, described by veteran
Sound sailors as the most severe in
years, hit without warning at 5:45
o'clock, when the waters about the
island were filled with craft of every
description. Most Of those capsized
contained fishing parties.
Twenty thousand holiday makers
had gone to the island. Those who
were not in boats were on the beaches
when the storm broke. All bathers,
however, were able to reach places
of safety.
Few of those in boats had oppor-
tunity to get ashore. The known
casualties occurred off Execution
Light, about six miles east of City
Island; Rat Island, about three miles
east and another island, mile north
The waters at those spots are known
as the fishing grounds.
There were many heartrending
scenes as friends and relatives of the
drowned identified them. So many
men, women and children became
hysterical that it was necessary for
the police to remove them to other
parts of the island and keep them
under observation. Relatives Of the
missing were equally affected.
The wind, which struck Pelham
Bay at 5:45 and blew until o'clock
with the fury of a hurricane, left in
its wake a scene of desolation. Trees
were uprooted, buildings were un-
rooted, windows were shattered and
telephone and electric light wires
were blown down.

LAUDS EAGLES
WAR ACTIVITIES
Congressman NORM Guest of
Local Lodge.

Unstinted praise of the war record Of
the Fraternal Order Of Eagles and Of
fits position on vital economic questions
of the day was voiced by John NJ. NORM
of Pittsburgh, member of the National
House of Representatives, in a talk at
Eagles Hall, 43 West Vermont street,
last night.
1.-THE war record Of the Eagles is the
browning achievement of their patriot
ism" he said Long before the Fed
eral Government or any State govern
ment or any other fraternal or other
association took action tending toward
relief of the dependents of the boys in
the Army, the Fraternal Order OF Eagles
took action. Two weeks after war was
declared the grand trustees established
the patriotic fund through which $1,000
has been paid to the dependents Of any
Eagle sailor or soldier who died from
wounds or disease in the war. We have
paid 81 900 each for the death of 1855
Eagles whose deaths were due to wounds
and exposure"
Representative Norm pointed out that
the Eagles were the first fraternal order
to come out openly and make a fight
for the enactment Of workmen's com
pensation and mothers pensions laws.
He said about month ago he had pre-
pared and introduced In the House Of
Representatives a bill known as public
welfare BILL" the object Of which Is to
spend at least S., 000,000,0o In the United
States TO help solve the unemployment
situation by building highways, i'm
proving harbors, erecting public build
sngS and developing natural resources.
He was entertained at a dinner at the
S7oosieY Athletic Club given by a com
sn1ttsa Of the local Eagles lodge.

SAYS STATUTES
FORBID MERGER
Fred Bates Johnson Holds
Utility Deal Improper.

The merger of seven Indiana utilities
by the Indiana Electric Corporation is
improper, Fred Bates Johnson, attorney,
who opposed the merger before the public
service commission, told members of the
Scientech Club at their luncheon at the
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday. Mr..
johnson said he did not oppose the public
service commission and did not question
the integrity Of the members of the com
mission.
1.-THE statutes say clearly that no mer-
ger shall be brought about If the re-
sulting securities are In excess of their
present aggregate as separate plants"
Mr.. Johnson said "In this case the ag-
gregate was two or three times the in
dividual value Of the plants, and to avoid
application of the particular section OF
the statute applying to mergers, the con =
solidation was brought about under an
other section governing expansion Of
properties
Mr.. johnson called attention to the
difference in character of the plants be-
ing merged and questioned the advisa-
bility of such a consolidation. He pointed
out that because Of the difference in char
acter of the problem Of making fair rates
would be most difficult.
