BIGHAM CASE UP AGAIN.
Solicitor Gasque Hopes to Have il
Thrown Out.

Florence, June 27.-Edmund D.
Bigham may be thrown out of the
supreme court of the state on his
latest attempt to save himself
from the electric chair for the muir
der of his brother, L. Smiley, in a
very short time, according to the an :
nouncement yesterday morning of l..
NJ. Gasque, solicitor of the Twelfth
circuit. Recently, the supreme court
adopted a rule whereby it refuses
to review a question of fact, as dis
tinguished from question of law
and judiciary discretion, once the
lower court has passed on the facts
in the premises. Under this rule,
the solicitor may move, after ten
days notice to the attorney on the
other side of the case, to dismiss
the motion for a new trial and get
an answer without waiting for the
tedious processes of the court.
I intend to avail the state of this
rule" Mr.. Gasque said here this
morning. eff the supreme court fol-
lows the rule it has laid down, as
there is no reason to think it would
not do, the Bigham case will not
hang in the supreme court year
longer"
Only last week, "A. L. King, at
torney for Bigham, filed formal no
tice of intention to appeal. He has
forty days in which to perfect his
appeal and because of the volume OF
the record, he is hardly expected to
complete his appeal much before the
limit. Then Mr.. Gasque will require
tn days in which to perfect his no
tiee to dismiss the appeal. This will
carry the case beyond the date of
July IA, which is set for the execu-
tion. That Bigham will have to be
resentenced, unless he wins his ap-
peal, is certain.

LARGE CROWD
HERE YESTERDAY
HEAR BLANKS SPEAK AND POOL
MORE TOBACCO WITH
ASSOCIATION.

AS feature of the final drive now
being made by the ,Tri-State Tobac-
co Growers Cooperative association
between 300 and 1000 farmers were
here yesterday to hear MI. John
Blanks tell of the merits of the CO.
operative Tobacco association in Ken
lucky.
Mr.. Blanks is an official grader of
the Kentucky Burley association and
has taken careful note of the work.
ings Of the new cooperative plan in
that great tobacco growing state.
He stressed the fact that "It is
Right" that it is the greatest forward
movement in the history Of this
country for the farmers who spe-
cislize in the growing Of tobacco.
He unhesitatingly denounced as false
a lot of yellow-sheet propaganda that
has been circulated by pin-hookers
and grafters who have for years made
fortunes by preying upon the farm
ers. On the other hand he offered
much substantial evidence Of the
splendid benefits derived by farmers
through the cooperative association
in Kentucky and made it very clear
to his hearers here yesterday that
the plan of the association in Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina
means the salvation of the tobacco
growers. Mr.. Blanks remarks were
clear-cut and to the point; in every
respect the most impressive argument
heard here in behalf of the coopera-
tive movement. He was so convinc-
ing that after the speaking 100000
or more pounds Of tobacco waS sign
ed up by the farmers who have been
reluctant to enter into the coopera-
tive plan. By the time the campaign
closes it is generally believed that
Williamsburg county will be one hum
dred per cent. for the association.
Stores and business places were
closed here yesterday so that the bus
'iness men of the town could attend
the big meeting. 1t was first assem-
bled in the court house but it was
soon found that it would not accom-
modate the crowd and at the sugges-
tion Of Mr.. E. C. Epps the meeting
was held on the yard.
Mr.. Blanks pointed out to the farm
ers just how the tobacco would be
graded and handled as it is brought
into the associations warehouses; how
they will receive, Immediately, checks
for amounts covering one-half or
more of the full value Of the tobac-
co and warehouse certificates which
will be as good as gold bonds.
Representative citizens of the coun-
ty and town are campaigning the
county today for new signators, and
it is believed that by the end of the
week this county will be solid for
the association.

Death of Mrs. M. l. johnson.
Communicated

Mrs. M. l. johnson, who died at
her home near Cades, Friday, June
%, was born July II, 1852, the daugh-
ter of DIR. and Mrs. Samuel D. Nc
Gill, and spent her entire life in Will
iamsburg county.
At an early age, she became Chris
tian and continued a faithful men,
Der of her church until her death.
October 20, 1870, she was married
to NJ. II. B. johnson of North Caro-
lina, and from this happy union, a
family of twelve Christian men and
women have been given to the world,
all of whom are still living: Mrs. j.
F. Gilmore, Fayetteville, N. c.; Mr..

Besides her children, Mrs. Johnson
leaves seven sisters, two brothers,
and numerous other relatives and a
host of friends, who loved her and
win miss her presence.
Her life was spent in doing GOOD;
her name is written-not in the "Hall
of Fame" but in the hearts Of all
those she helped as she passed on
in her quiet, unobtrusive way; not
seeking the praise of this world, but
doing the will of her Master.
She was sufferer for many years,
but bore it with Christian fortitude.
Even when her pain became more
intense, she kept her CHEEKY spirit
and warmly welcomed those who
came about her, until the end drew
near, when she lost interest in the
things of this world and kept call
ing to her loved ones who had pass
cd on before"
Hospitals, doctors, nurses, kind
friends could not stay the death angel
and her pure soul passed to its re-
ward.
Sunday morning, at Indiantown
church, funeral services were held
by her pastor, Rev. w. R. Pritchett,
and she was laid to rest in the ceme-
tery. The lovely flowers that cover
ed her grave will soon be withered
and cast aside, but her beautiful spirit
of unselfishness VII live on and grow
more fragrant with the passing
years.

JOINT LAND BANK.
First Institution of Kind to be Estab-
lished in South Carolina.

We are glad to announce that The
First Carolinas Joint Stock Land
Bank, with former Congressman
Lever, until recently member Of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, ss pres
ident, and with Offices at Columbia,
S. c., is to do business in this county.
This fact became known when it was
learned that J. D. O'Bryan, Esq, had
become connected with this institu-
tion as abstract attorney, and for the
time being as its local representative
in the county. When asked for q
statement as to methods of operation
and terms of loan Mr.. ]. D. O'Bryan,
said:
"The First Carolinas Joint Stock
Land Bank is chartered under the
Federal Farm Loan Act and is oper-
ated under the same Federal super
vision of the Federal Farm Loan
Board. The present paid in capital
stock is S25O,O0O and $4,000 surplus.
The bank operates very much along
the same lines as does the Federal
Land Bank of Columbia and under
the same supervision. 1t makes loans
only on improved agricultural lands;
it does not loan on city property. The
proceeds of these loans must be ap-
piled for general agricultural pur-
poses. The loans are made direct to
the borrower, and the borrower is
forbidden to take stock in the bank.
Any person is eligible for loan
through this institution if in addition
to his other work he is at the same
time actually farming.
"The bank will accept applications
for loans from $1,000 to $4,000.
Loans cannot be made in excess Of
fifty per cent. of the appraised value
of the land and twenty per cent. OF
the appraised insurable value of the
buildings, such appraisals being made
by officials of the government. The
interest rate is six per cent, payable
semi-annually, to which is added one
per cent. to amortize or kill off the
debt over a period of 33 years. In
other words. for seven per cent. in
terest and principal are paid in 33
years and the debt is discharged.
Repayment of principal may be made
at any time under regulations issued
by the Farm Loan Board. The bor-
rover through this bank is response
BILE alone for his own debt. There
are no commissions that may be
charged under the law, nor are there
renewals.
"Ihave become connected with this
institution because Of the financial
strength of the men back of it, nota-
bly, among which are ]. Pope Mat
thews, president of the Palmetto Ma
tional Bank, Columbia, S. c.; W. B.
Drake, Jr., president of the Merchants
National Bank, Raleigh, N. c.; A. W..
Mclean, wealthy planter and banker
of North Carolina; Thomas & Lump
kin, outstanding lawyers of the state;
and Mr.. Lever, the president, whose
activities in behalf of agriculture for
twenty years are known to every one.
l feel confident that this institution
is going to serve most useful pur-
pose in helping the farmers of this
county to pay off on the installment
plan the losses suffered in the re-
cent depression. The Federal Land
Bank and this bank are acting in the
closest harmony to take care of all
the needs of agriculture in the coun-
ty."
