MUST SERVE TIME
Charleston Tigers Will Have to Work
On the Chainqanp.


After a lengthy hearing before Cir
cult Judge Edward McIver, says a
Charleston dispatch Of last Friday,
the we'll known jurist decided that
both Joseph Chicco and Willie Hills
had violated the conditions of their
suspended sentences awarded them
during June, 1919, and should each
serve out, either on the county chain
gang or in the state penitentiary, eight
months, it being felt that they were in
a measure at least engaged in violation
OF the South Carolina prohibition laws
during last September Notice of an
appeal was served by Attorneys War
ing and Brockington and bond placed
at $4,000, the defendants being in the
custody Of their attorneys until after
the order is signed this morning.
The two men, Joe Chicco and Willie
Hills, pleaded guilty to charges of vio-
lating the state prohibition law on
June Z and June 6, respectively, 1919,
and Judge r. Withers Memminger out
lined the sentences in the cases. He
sentenced the defendants to twelve
months in the state penitentiary or on
the county chaingang, this to be made
lighter on payment of $500 fines, with
eight months service, each to be sus-
pended upon good behavior

GROWN JEWELS GO.
Austrian Valuable Are Sold at Private
Auction,

Auction.
Austrian crown jewels supposed to
be worth s1,25O,OOO, including a neck :
lace measuring eight feet and contain
ing 1876 pearls, were secretly sold at
auction in Weisbaden in the occupied
area a few weeks ago. with the result
that eX-Empress Zita, widow of
Charles |, and his other heirs, have left
only. half of the Hapsburg jewels.
Large diamonds, hundreds of years
old, were sold partly to an English
race horse owner and partly to an In
dian prince on n visit to Europe.
The heirs of eX-Emperor Charles
have already brought suit to recover
the jewels, which were first pawned by
Charles through Alphonze Sondheim-
er, former Greek consul in Germany.
About the time of Charles's second
coup they were redeemed and taken to
Germany, where they were sold, while
Charles was being taken to Madeira.
Sondheimer was arrested in SwitZer-
land as the result of this deal, but was
released and granted remuneration for
having been imprisoned without cause.
EX-Empress Zita is doing her best to
get back the Hapsburg crown, which
was sold to some unknown person at
Weisbaden Sondheimer is now in
Berlin searching for the missing jew
els. The Swiss government is quite
upset over the affair and has given
Sondheimer permission to bring suit
against a well-known firm of Paris
jewelers., who are supposed to have
acted as auctioneers at Wiesbaden. 1t
is reported that the Hapsburg crown
has been sold to an American million
aire.

before the birds begin singing heart
lily. 4 cool spring is a blessing in
most ways, but it has its drawbacks.
1t dampens the spirits of the avian
choir which at this season should be
making the mornings melodious.
There is some bird music to be heard
just now of course, but there is not
as much of it as there should be, and
there is not much doubt that the cool
weather is responsible. Cardinals,
mocking birds, brown thrush, orchard
orioles, non -parels and -throated
sparrows may be heard singing al
most any morning now and OCCASION
ally there comes q Carolina wren or n
yellow warbler to add it's voice to the
chorus. That is pretty fair showing
but the fact is that none of these
songsters is singing as frequently or
as enthusiastically as usual at this
season. Well just have to wait for
warmer weather for the greatest
melody of bird song"
Show Was Interesting.
Went over to Charlotte with several
friends the other evening"" said a
Yorkville man. I'VE made the trip by
automobile, going by Gastonia. Moth
ing interesting in that fact, / know;
but just wait a minute ana I'll tel you
something interesting.
after we were out Of Gastonia a
short distance we noticed n Ford
Sedan in front of us. There was
nobody in the front seat with the
chauffeur. In the back seat was a man
who appeared TO be about middle aged
and a pretty woman apparently about
twenty.
81 think they were newlyweds en-
route to Charlotte to catch train.
Anyway, it was raining pretty hard
and the glass of the windshield on our
car was covered by a mist. Despite
this fact l noticed the man lean over
and kiss the girl, and my friend who
was driving the car, noticed it also. OF
course we had to let our friends in the
back seat in on the fun.
"In the course of a. few miles that
man kissed that girl fifty times more
or less, his chauffeur driving his car at
high speed The man looked back at
our car early in the game and he evil
dently figured that we couldn't see him
because of the mist on on" windshield.
Our vision was a little blurred. After
awhile ] rubbed the glass so that the
picture ahead would be palmer.
WED see the felloW lean over to-
ward the girl and the girl would do a
leaning act toward him and then
bingo!
Finally the fellow saw that we
were looking at him and the show was
all off As our car sped by him he
had n rather mean look on his mug
especially when all of us burst out
laughing"

He Never Blamed the Booze.

He took bottle up to bed,
Drank whisky hot all night;
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight;
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues,
Until he took bowl or two
But he never blam the booze.
His joints were full Of rheumatism,
His appetite was slack;
He had pains between his shoulders,
Chills ran down his back;
He suffered with insomnia,
At night he couldn't SnOOZe,
He said it was the climate
But he never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down,
At least that's what he said;
His logs were swcllcd each morning,
And he often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whisky,
And if it didn't fuse
He blamed it to dyspepsia
But he never blamed the booze.
He said he couldn't sleep at night,
And always had bad dreams;
He claimed he always laid awake
Till early sunlight beams.
He thought il was malaria,
Alas twas but 4 ruse;
He blamed it onto everything
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping,
And his kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitterS
Till at last he cleaned them out.
His legs We're swelled with dropSy,
Till he had to cut his shoes,
He blamed it on the doctor
But he never blamed the booze.
His clothes were getting scCdy,
His nose was getting red,
His children always hungry,
Himself not too we'll fed;
His family he neglected,
His wife he did abuse;
He blamed all her relations
But he never blamed the booze.
Then he had the tremcrs,
And he tackled rats and snakes;
First he had the fever,
Then he had the shakes;
At last he had Il funeral,
And the mOurnCrs had the blues,
And the epitaph served for him was
He never blamed The booze"
