county at the next term Of general
sessions court for resentencing.
"Tie crime was one of the most re.
voting in the history of Florence
county and great interest has beer
kept up in the case. The first theory
advanced was that Smiley Bigham hat
killed the members of his family ano
then committed suicide, but an in.
vestigation resulted in the arrest Of
Edmund Bigham and latter his con-
viction.
"After his conviction, Bigham went
before the Supreme court on q habeas
corpus proceeding, claiming that he
had never been tried, in that the
Florence court was unlawful due tc
the fact that Judge Memminger con.
tinued the court longer than the term
was supposed to have run. The su'
preme court dismissed this plea ano
Bigham then went before the court
in regular appeal at the fall term ir
1921.
Tn the opinion handed down by the
court it is clearly stated that all Of
the objections raised are without
grounds for reversing the circuit
court. The refusal to grant change
of venue was proper, the court says
and adds that Bigham received the
benefit in Florence of the prejudice
against Smiley Bigham, who had beer
tried for "revolting murder" but
acquitted.
Regarding Charging.
Edmund Bigham claimed Smiley
Bigham had killed the members of the
family and then committed suicide
and one objection raised was that
Judge Memminger charged improper
ly on this point as to suicide,
"a part of Judge Memminger's
charge, "as to the case," was objected
to, but the court says the charge was
absolutely just and was not preju-
dicial to Bigham.
"Probably the most important OBJ
lection was that Judge Memminger
did not charge the jury that Bigham
was clothed with presumption of in
nocence, but the court says Judge
Memminger did make this clear in
part of his charge.
"As to the language used by the
judge to Attorney King the court says
Mr.. King did not speak court language
and that Judge Memminger was cor
rect in stopping Mr.. King when he
did stop him, adding that a judge may
lose control of his court within half
a minute if he does not take imme-
diate charge of any situation arising" 7"

Flames DESTROY
$4,000 WORTH OF
GEYsER PROPERTY
East Wind Prevents Town
From Being Wiped Out
by Blaze.

Geyser. Jan. 17.-Flames which
broke out shortly after six o'clock
Monday evening almost wiped out the
town here and caused property loss
estimated to be more than 10000.
The fire started in the Ross Mercan-
tile company building, which, with it's
contents, was total loss. Other
buildings which were completely de-
stroyed are the Public Drug store,
oWend by w. w. Wooster; the post
office Of which Mrs. Bertha Ross is
postmistress, and the real estate and
insurance building Of A. A. Freeman.
The First State bank building was
badly burned, but the bank resumed
business Tuesday. There is no fire
protection in Geyser, and during the
time Of the fire the people were
forced to stand around and wait until
it had burned everything in reach.
The wind was from the east. Had it
been west the town would have been
entirely burned
The fire is believed to have started
from the explosion of the furnace
in the basement of the Ross Mer-
camille building. A heavy fire had
been placed in the furnace and the
employees went home to dinner. At
GAO an explosion was heard and the
fire was seen breaking out of the
building. 1t was impossible to enter,
and the entire contents were loss.
The big safe has not yet been open
ed: and it is not known whether the
books of the institution and contents
of the safe have been saved.
Some of the property destroyed was
partially covered by insurance.

Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Musified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure grease and greaseless), and is
better than anything else you can use
One or two teaspoonsful of Mulsified
will cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an abund
ance of rich. creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust. dirt. dandruff and excess
sive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft,
and the hair fine and silky, bright, lus-
trous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for months.
BE sure your druggist gives you Mulsi-
fled.
