LAST WORD IN STILLS.

Necessity is the mother of inven-

bee, of Lowndesville, can certify
He brought to Abbeville this morn
ing the last word in the way of
home made stills captured on a
small branch above Lowndesville.
The still consisted of one three gal
lon oil can with a hole cut in the
top, Joined by two elbows and three
feet of iron pipe to one gallon
syrup bucket. In this bucket was a
galvanized condenser. The contriv-
ance was wiped with white rags and
the whole affair soldered together
with ordinary bread dough. The
furnace was several rocks placed
under the oil can to hold it high
enough from the ground to permit
a fire being b"i't underneath. No

CONSERVATIVES WIN
OVER ALL PARTIES
RESULTS OF BRITISH ELEC-
TIONS YESTERDAY-LADY AS
TOR AND JOHN JACOB ASTOR
BOTH ELECTED-VOTE NOT
COMPLETE.

London, Nov. 16.-With only 2s
constituencies missing at $50 o.
clock tonight the returns showed
the conservatives had elected 34C
members of the house of commons
or 33 more than a majority of the
voting members. The Asquithiar
liberals had elected SO members
labor 1SO, the Georgiete Liberate
43|others Is. 49,. ..-
London, Nov. 16.-Prime Minis
ter Bonar Law had secured major
Nity of twelve over all the other par
ties in the house of commons when
the returns for $40 Of the 615 d.
visions had been received late this
afternoon. There are three non
voting members including the speak
er, thereby making the hundreds fol
a bare majority 907. The conserva
tives up to late this afternoon had
captured 319 seats.
This did not mean, however that
the prime minister already had OBJ
tanned a so-called working majority
as the support of some Of the con
servatives will be limited on many
questions, but the conservatives
wero looking to the remaining 7(
seats to swell their numbers ane
increase their lead over the combin
ed opposition. Thus far three mem
bers of Mr.. Bonar Laws govern
ment have been defeated, namely
Sir Arthur Griffith Boscawen, min
ister of health; W. A. Watson
lord advocate and Lieutenant Col
onel George F. Stanley, under sec
rotary of the home office.
A feature of the election was tht
number of seats gained by the Ia
bor party which enters the house
with far the largest number of men
bers in the party's history. With 7(
seats yet to be heard from the lab
critics had rolled up the big total o:
12O members as against the 76 the!
had in the last house. Their gain:
were manly at the expense Of thu
conservatives and the Georgian lib
erals. !

90 900 DEATHS FROM
CANCER LAST YEAR
Death Rate Higher in Northern Than
In Southern States.-South
Carolina Lowest.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Deaths
due to cancer in the United States
during 1921 totalled $4,000 the
census bureau estimated today, COM
posed with an estimate Of $4,000
in 1920. The calculation for both
years was based on returns from
the bureaus death registration area
which includes "a states and the
District of Columbia.
The bureaus announcement, said
the. 1921 rate was higher than that
for any proceeding year in "a of the
"a states making reports. The rates
for the registration area was sc per
100000 in 1921, compared with
83.4 for 1920.
After adjusting the rates in va
rious states to make allowance for
differences in the age and sex dis
tribution of the population the bu-
reau found that for 1921, Massachu
sets had the highest rate-99.6 per
0,0OO-while South Carolina,
with 47.6 had the lowest.
Summarizing it's compilation the
bureau made this observation.
"The adjusted rates show that
the northern states have compara-
lively high and the Southern states
comparatively low cancer mortality
while there is little difference be-
tween the adjusted cancer rates of
the white and colored races of the
same stares, in other words, the
white and colored races seem equal
ly susceptible to cancer, but both
aces seem less susceptible :" Tho
s"u'h than in the north.

cate the people Of the county in the
selection of better seed corn. County

PLENTY Of WORK
FOR WINTER MONTHS
SHORTAGE OF LABOR is SEEN
BY EXPERTS OF THE DEPART
MENT OF CoMMERCE-MUCH
BUILDING IN PROGRESS-DE-
MAND UNSKILLED LABOR.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Unem-
nlopment this winter will be at its
lowest ebb since the war days, ex-
ports at the department of COM
nasrce and the labor department
stated today on the basis Of nat
ional survey.
Few people who want work need
go without a job, they stated. They
foresee an acute labor shortage
particularly in the unskiled labor
industries carly in the spring.
This probable labor shortage and
the lack of railroad equipment may
put a brake on the expected busl-
ness boom, it was held.
Little unemployment exists today
tho department claimed. Last year
at this time, when the, acute situa-
ton caused Presidenr Harding TO
convene his famous unemployment
conference, haore than 100000
workers were jobless.
The tremendous building pro-
gram of the past year, particularly
during the spring and summer mon
this provided places for hundreds OF
thousands of skilled and common
laborers. The hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of new equipment
ordered by the railroads was an
other factor in the situation La
Dor activity has been increasing in
constantly widening klpples until
now many cities mainly Pittsburgh
and Philodelphia, are suffering for
lack of workers in the basis indus
tries.
Clerical workers alone report a
dearth of jobs. These men and
wamen could find places in indus
try if they were willing to accept
inferior jobs, the commerce depart
ment stated.
Fear of a labor shortage, with
it, consequent reaction on pros
perty, has resulted in a demand
for lifting of the immigration re-
srictions. An effort may sbe made
at this session of congress- to amend
or throw out entirely the three pei
cent in migration law which re-
ssFitts ti.a entrance of foreigners
to three per cent of the nationals.

DAN MURPHY FOUND
DEAD IN HIS CELL
One of Most Unique Figures of the
State Prison-Had Served
rs Years.

Columbia, Nov. 16.-Dan Muir
lphy one of the most unique figures
ever sentenced to prison in South
Carolina, was found dead in his eel
at the penitentiary here, ending rs
years incarceration. Apoplexy is be-
ieved to have been the cause. A
year ago the state pardon board off,
cred him a pardon but he refused
to leave the, prison.
Murphy was sentenced. from
Orangeburg county in 1897 for the
killing of County Treasurer Cope
To the end he protested his inno-
cence claiming he was in Augusta,
at the time of the killing. He is sur
vived by his widow and a son who
live in Millen, Ga.
Up to a year ago Murphy had nev-
er ridden in an automobile or seen
a motion picture. A newspaper re-
porter discovered his history and
through special arrangements with
the prison officials the old man was
taken for tour of Columbia and to
a picture show. Shortly afterwards
Murphy was offered a pardon but
he said that he was "too far behind
the times" and that he wanted to
end his days in prison.
