ATTY. GEN. ASKS DAMAGES.
Wolfe Sues Anderson Newspaper for
$4,000 Over Criticism.

Anderson, Nov. 3.-Asking dam
ages in the sum of $50, 200 of the Ad-
vocate Publishing company, G. P.
Browne, as editor and publisher of
the Anderson Daily Mail, Samuel
Wolfe, attorney general of South
Carolina has instituted proceedings
alleging that the defendant allowed
to be published in the columns of the
Daily Mail, newspaper articles sign
ed by John V. Stribling, in connec-
ton with the recent Georgia-Carolina
boundary suit, which made "vituper-
ative and libelous attacks upon the
plaintiff.
The attorney general was in the
city today and copy of the sum-
mons was served upon Mr.. Browne
by Sheriff Marett this afternoon.
The summons deals at much length
with the boundary suit which was
taken to the United States supreme
court and that after settlement there
the defendants "persistently and re-
lentlessly continued to publish said
defamatory articles and said false
and malicious charges, of the said
John V. Stribling, giving editorial
and tentative endorsement and sane
ton to said defamatory articles and
charges furnishing the medium OF
disseminating said defamatory arti-
cles, language and charges, to the
public, wilfully and maliciously de-
signing and intending said publica-
ton to impeach the honesty of the
plaintiff, expose him to contempt,
ridicule or obloquy and to injure him
socially, officially, politically and
professionally, to his damage in the
sum of fifty thousand dollars
The summons further charges that
on June IS, 1920, issue of the Daily
Mail over the signature of John V.
Stribling, "an article discrediting to
plaintiffs conduct of said case ap-
peared and in which occurs particu-
larly the following words:
"Mr. Wolfe falls far short of his
duty to the state and people in rest
ing his defense plea upon docu-
ment so defective, Inadequate, Ques-
tionable as to that of the socalled
Beaufort treaty"

MIGRATORY BIRDS.
Thousands of Them Are Now On
Their Way South.
(Yorkyille Enquire.)

(Yorkville Enqulre.)
Migratory birds are on their way
south again and may be observed,
stopping to feed and to rest. A few
ducks have been noticed passing over
Yorkville, and occasionally, a pha-
lanx of wild geese, flying so high
that their "honk," 'honk" is bare
.ly audible, is seen.
The marking of migratory water
fowl. which has been practiced by the
collaborators of the Biological Sur
vey, United States department of
agriculture, has given evidence that
it will be a most interesting and i'm
portant investigation. Although the
work has been in progress for only
two years it has had noticeable re-
suits, it is announced. Ducks and
other birds, the movements of which
are being studied by this method,
are caught, mainly by the use of spe-
cial traps, light aluminium bands are
placed on one leg and the captives
are released, says a department re-
port. Every band bears serial
number and the legend Biol. Surv.
Wash, D. c.
In the Washington office of the
Biological Survey these banded birds
are card indexed, so that when a
hunter bags duck bearing a band
and reports it's capture, by refer
ring to the card file the route COW
cred by the bird in question can be
ascertained. When such records are
received the hunter is advised where
the bird was banded, while the per-
son who attached the band is inform
ed where the bird fell.
During the fall seasons for the
last few years large number of NAL
lards and black ducks, with a few
American, because the species also
winters in small numbers in the Gulf
region, and it is to that area that the
more northern birds might be expect
ed to go.

NEGROES FLEECED
New Skin Game Brought to Light in
Greenwood.

With two negro artists in high fl
nance in the county Jail, Greenwood
police officers have uncovered a new
scheme to separate the unsuspecting
from his coin, and A. A. Pinckney,
negro preacher of Promise Land, is a
poorer and wiser man. Telling
Pinckney that they had a child whose
guardianship they wanted him to
take, along with $1,000 for it's board
and keep, three negroes, claiming to
represent a fraternal order, suggest
ed that it would be necessary for him
to put up $500 cash bond. Pinckney
agreed to raise the $500 and met the
three members of the 'fraternal'
order in the woods near Connie Max
we'll Orphanage about 4:30 Saturday
afternoon. There, lest he might
change his mind, the three alleged to
have taken the preachers money by
force and left him to nurse his wrath
alone, sans money, sans child, sans
$500 for it's upkeep.
Through the prompt action of
Chief of Police NJ. B. Chandler and
Sheriff E. NJ. White, J. P. Johnson,
claiming to be from Birmingham and
Thomas Williams, claiming New Or
leans as his native heath, are now in

Johnson and S7.15 On Williams. The
search was continued and Officer G. T.
Nelson found ten $40 bills in the toe
of Williams's shoe. Il made that
workin'" Williams declared, ''and I
been usin' my shoe for bank" Al
ter the run on the bank, the two fin
anciers were lodged in Jail.
Chief Chandler states that the ne
groes were dressed in clothes of the
latest cut and had soft hands that
seemed foreign to labor. '.On October
IA, negro in Anderson was robbed
of $500 in similar game, and ne
came here the next day with a des-
cription of the swindlers that seem to
fit the pair in JAIL" Chief Gambler
said this morning. Il wish anyone
who has been flim-hammed would
come and try to identify them," he
added.
Porterfeld Robinson, Greenwood
negro, says he worked with Johnson
in New York hotel, and that John
son had a police record there.
The third negro, who is still at
large, is described as stout, about
five feet, eight inches tall, weighing
about 165 pounds. He is said to be
rather black, with a scar over and un-
