Editor Keziah "Treed."

Whiteville, N. C.,-Monday night
after he had partaken of his supper,
Editor Keziah returned to the office
to do some work which owing to the
rush, he did not have time to do dur
ing the day. After two hours of hard
work he decided to take a rest and
stretched himself on the folder and
promptly went to sleep.
Some hours later, he was awaken
ed by cold, clammy surface on his
face and grasped it with his hand,
and found it to be large snake. He
promptly knocked the snake OF on
the floor and started to get off the
folder, when he remembered that he
had slipped his shoes off. The
thought struck him that the snake
might be coiled just where he fell.
Anyway, Editor Keziah stayed on the
folder all night and was afraid to go
to sleep again for fear of the snakes
too friendly intrusion. The fact that
the editor is complete teetotaler is
vouched for.

How Your HOOtch is Made.
Editorial, Jackson (Miss.) Daily

Editorial, Jackson (Miss.) Daily
News.
This editorial is primarily for the
benefit of the man who drinks moon
shine liquor. Others who are not
thus engaged in poisoning their bod
les will find it of interest.
The most inveterate hootch hound
in Mississippi, if he could but see how
the stuff he drinks is made, would
swear off forever.
Hardly a drop of the moonshine
whiskey being sold in Jackson came
from a place that bore any resemb-
lance to sanitary surroundings.
On the contrary, the average moon
shine still is place of indescribable
dirt, filth and squalor.
The Daily News has, with the per-
mission of Prohibition Director NJ. H.
Daily, examined some of the written
reports submitted to the federal gov
ernment by prohibition enforcement
officers describing the stills they have
raided during the past few weeks.
At one place not far distant from
Jackson the officers found dead
blacksnake, about six feet long, badly
decomposed, in a barrel of mash
from which the liquid had been
drawn.
At another still where the barrel
of sour mash was buried in the
ground, a decayed bullfrog was found
floating on top.
At still of large capacity the cap
of the still was so filthy that it had
been fy-blown and infested with ma
gots. The plant was in operation,
and the white lightning was being
filtered through the magots.
Up in Director Daily's office you
will see scores of liquor samples TAX
en- from stills which showed, on
chemical analysis, that concentrated
lye was used in the clarifying pro-
cess.
These liquors are manufactured by
men who are ignorant of the first
element of the laws of fermentation
or the rules of sanitation. They con-
coct the deadly stuff by main
strength and awkwardness, so to
speak, the sole and only aim being to
evolve something with powerful
kick in it, and they give never a
thought to how dangerous or poison
Gus it may be.

ENROLL FOR THE PRIMARY.

Citizens of South Carolina
should enroll in their township
club in order to participate in the
primary election next August. The
books for enrolment are now
open and will remain so until the
last Tuesday in July.
According to the rules Of the
Democratic party of South Caro-
lima, the qualifications for men,
bership in any club of the party
in the state and for voting at
primary election are as fellows:
"The applicant for membership,
or voter, shall be 21 years Of age,
or shall become so before the sue
. ceeding general election and be
white Democrat. He shall be
citizen Of the United States and
of this state. No person shall be-
long to any club or vote in any pri-
mary unless he has resided in the
state two years and in the county
six months prior to the succeeding
general election and in the club
district go days prior to the first
primary following his offer to en-
roll: Provided, That public school
teachers and ministers of the gos-
pei in charge Of a regular organ
lied church shall be exempt from
the provisions of this section as to

1t is sufficient for a woman to
state, in regard to the age require
ment, that she is 21 years of age.
Women are ineligible to jury
duty and even if they were liable,
enrolling in a Democratic club
would not in any way affect that
matter.

and that undue publicity had been
given the case, resulting fn prejudice

meanor throughout the trial. He Will

Wants Bigham Tell Of Wade Murder

From J. W. Clopton, of Leslie, Ca,
grandfather of Walter H. Wade,
whom Edmund D. Bigham, now un-
der death sentence for numbering his
own brother Smiley and indicted for
numbering their mother, their sister
and her two children, was suspected
of numbering, The Times this morn
ing received request to have it's re-
porters ask Bigham of the Wade
murder if they should interview him
again. He hopes that Bigham, 60
ing to his death, may yet tell some
thing, which will clear up more fully
the murder of Walter Wade. The
letter is as follows:
Leslie, Ca, June 28, 1922.
Editor of the Florence Daily Times,
Florence, 8. c.
My Dear Sir:
I have just read of Edmund D.
'Bigham's trial being denied. Ed
mund D. Bigham once lived in Les
lie, Ga. I knew him well. He went to
Americas, Ca, with Walter H. Wade,
a grandson of mine on August IT,,
1916, and Walter Wade was murder
ed that night and body thrown in
Flint river. The detective l employ
ed on the case suspected Bigham. In
fact we all thought Bigham knew
something of the murder until the
parties were arrested and convicted.
If you ever have another interview
with Bigham and it is not asking too
much of you, will you please ask
Bigham if he didn't go to Americus,
Ca, with Walter H. Wade the night
he (Wade) was murdered. II he
knows anything then he will tell all
he knows. Very truly yours,
J. W. CLOPTON.
(Bigham is sentenced to execution
on July IA but an appeal now pend
ing will stay the execution for the
second time. Since the denial of the
last appeal in circuit court for new
trial, Bigham's attorney is said to
have discovered more evidence on
which he will probably ask new
trial should the supreme court deny
the present appeal.-Florence Times

Man is Killed
at Liquor Still

Walterboro, July 12.-John Brit
ton, son of Chief of Police Britton, Of
Branchville, was killed by Sheriff
Ackerman at noon today while resist
ing arrest. Britton was operating
still in the Edisto river swamp and
when Sheriff Alderman attempted to
place him under arrest, Britton shot
at the sheriff and his deputies, G. c.
Benton and Chief J. B. Ackerman.
Fortunately they were near enough
to take shelter behind trees and re-
turned the fire. Several shots were
exchanged on both sides when Britton
in an unguarded moment exposed
himself and was hit in the side.
Sheriff Ackerman intended to shoot
only to force him to give up but one
shot went high enough to strike a
vital organ and death resulted in an
hour. The body was brought to Wal
terboro and Magistrate Pullum held
an inquest, the verdict of the jury
being in accordance with the above
facts. Britton and Talmadge Ed
wards were together, having a 40
gallon copper still and eight 60 gallon
barrels of mash. Violation of the
law had been reported to the sheriff
and he was armed with a warrant.
Edwards denies completely, stating
that he was only visitor to Britton.
Sheriff Ackerman has reported the
killing to Governor Harvey.

What Would Calhoun Say?

The Bamberg Herald says the
state is not running it's affairs any
MORE" and The Herald states in
plain language a fact which many
men have known for some time. If
John C. Calhoun were to rise from
his grave he would not live very
long. There is no longer any such
thing as states rights. For the past
decade or two the tendency has been
to centralize power at Washington
and so great has become that cen
tralized power that legislative acts,
judicial DEGREES and acts of commits
stoned bodies have become mere mat
ters of form. This tendency toward a
centralized form of government had
it's beginning probably in the great
railroad mergers put into effect by
the late E. H. Hartman. Hartman,
it is true, was great empire build
er, but as he built he swept aside
as of no consequence not only the
rights of individuals but the rights
of sovereign states. Other big combi,
nations of capital, not satisfied with
exploiting the resources Of their own
individual states, followed Harrl-
mans example, and before the ma
ton was aware of what was happen
ing the power to regulate railroad
rates and the rates of all interstate
traffic was vested in the hands OF
few men in Washington. A state law
that conflicts with federal law is
null and void. A ruling of the state
railroad commission that does not
suit the interstate railroad commits
sion is promptly set aside. In other
words every official act of a legally
constituted state body is subject to
review and can be set aside by a
higher body at Washington. That is
why the state is not running its own
affairs.-Dillon Herald.

Columbia Woman Bound
and dBeaten BY Masked Men

COlumD1a July lo.-AtLTacted 10
the rear of her home, 2121 College
street, by rap on the back door,
Mrs. Alethia Norman was caught by
stwo unknown men, gagged, bound
and beaten. The attack was made
about o'clock yesterday afternoon
when she was alone at the home and
the alarm was given about an hour
later when she was found by her lit
tie daughter, semi-conscious. Last
night it was said at the Norman resi-
dence that, while she was severely
beaten, the injuries are not thought
to be serious.
The police are working on the case,
but at an early hour this morning
no arrests had been made. The princi-
pal clue is four anonymous letters,
three of which were received by Mrs.
Norman during last week and one of
which was left by the two men yester-
day afternoon. These letters threat
ened Mrs. Norman's life and cursed
her vilely. The police haye the let
ters.
Rap on Rear Door.
Mrs. Norman said last night that
she was in a front room when she
heard a knock. She went to the rear
to answer the rap and two men jump
ed from behind door, having al
ready entered the house and con-
cealed themselves. One Of the men
threw a towel over her face and the
two men bound her, after tieing the
towel securely about her head. The
men twisted her dress about her body
and began beating her, Mrs. Norman
said. Severe bruises were made on
her limbs and about her body.
After beating Mrs. Norman the
men threw a handful of red pepper in
her mouth, Mrs. Norman said, and
left with the warning that 1--WE are
coming back and kill you," this sent
ence being punctuated by one of the
men with vile epithet. She has no
idea who the men are, being unable
to say positively whether they were
black or white. Hoyever, Mrs. Nor
man said she believed they were
white men.
Mrs. Norman was unable to give
the, alarm for nearly an hour, and
when her little daughter returned
home she told her to call Mr.. Nor
man, who works for the National
Biscuit company. Mr.. Norman was
the first to arrive after his little
daughter. He found switch about
the size of thumb in the bath room,
but was unable to say whether or not
this was the instrument used by the
men.
The Switch gave the appearance OF
having been worn out on something.
Mr.. Norman said he was at loss to
explain the attack and has no idea as
to who the men were.
Four Letters Received.
Mr.. Norman said one of the letters
was, received. last Tuesday and an
other Friday while the third was
found Saturday morning as he went
for the morning paper. The fourth
letter was left by the two men yes
terday afternoon. They were all
threatening. One night last week
some one threw a handful of sand
through their bedroom window, he
said.
Mrs. Norman is rather a delicate
woman and said she had undergone
II operations within the past few
years. She underwent her last op-
Grafton in February Of this year and
had not left her home except to walk
to Valley park on one occasion and
to 20 to Green Street Methodist
