just thirty days, that's ALL" remarked
Calvin (Happy) Ellison Of Rock Hill
as he greeted Deputy Sheriff Tom
Quinn, when he stepped from the
Southern passenger train yesterday
morning, coming from Greenville
where he had pleaded guilty before
Judge H. II. Watkins in Federal court
to violation of the liquor laws. In
fact the judge was n lot lighter on me
than l thought for" continued the
smiling Happy" as he handed the
deputy sheriff the court order requir-
ing him to pay fine or 500 or serve
thirty days for violating the VolStead
act.
Got your own papers, eh?" said the
deputy sheriff to Constable Frank AL
len of Rock Hill who had brought Ell
lison from Greenville remarked: "Oh,
Ellison's all right"
Ellison who has been living at the
Aragon Mill in Rock Hill and who
played third base on the strong Ara
gon baseball club last summer got in
dutch with the authorities on account
of the liquor laws some time ago and

He has been in the county Jail for
some time past awaiting his trial and
now he is back TO serve his sentence.
They dubbed him Happy" down at

laughing.

business and I am through. I got

LFIsH FOR YORK STREAMS

Dan T. Woods of Yorkville, county
game warden, would like to stock all
the streams of York county with good
game fish and has had some cores
pondence with Congressman Steven
son in regard to getting a supply for
York county. Learning that the gov
ernment fish hatchery at Orangeburg
is producing more fish than the state
is using, the game warden wrote Mr..
Stevenson: 81 knew Of this plant but
did not know they were producing as
many more fish seed than were be-
ing used or would have asked your
assistance in stocking our ponds ana
such streams as are suitable betore
this. | do not know about fish cul-
ture or whether large mouth bass and
sun fish would be acceptable TO our
streams as our streams would be
classed as muddy. Being in the hills
though, they run comparatively clear
after heavy rains"
But there is little chance of getting
a wholesale supply for the streams and
ponds of the county. Congressman
Stevenson has written Mr.. Woods:
80 far as l know all those who
have applied for fish through me have
gotten them to stock their ponds.
The hatchery at Orangeburg not only
supplies South Carolina: but other
states as well, and l hardly think we
could get a wholesale supply of them
to put in the creeks and branches.
Here in Washington recently they got
too much chlorine in the water in the
hatchery and t.iey killed quite batch
of fish, so they will have to draw on
the Orangeburg supply for use up
here. will he glad TO send fish to
any one who applies and will assist

NO TRIAL oRHUeeINs CASE

1t was stated this morning that
there is no probability that Mrs. Effe
Huggins and albert Zimmerman
charged with the killing of Pink Hug
gins, husband of Mrs. Huggins on
November 7, lastJwill be tried at the
April term of the court Of general ses-
sions which ,convenes Monday. Mrs.
Huggins who was released on bond
several weeks ago, the bond being
signed by two citizens of Yorkville, Is
now an inmate of the county home
and an expectant mother who Will not
be able to undergo a trial at this time.
Since she and Zimmerman are indict-
cd Jointly for the alleged murder OF
the Charlotte street storckeeper, the
case will probably not. be tried until
next November. Thos. F. McDow
Esq, of Yorkville represents Mrs.
Huggins while w. B. Wilson, Esq, OF
Rock Hill Is attorney for Zimmerman
Zimmerman remains a prisoner in
the county. Jail where he has been
since a short time after the finding OF
the body of Higgins in a ditch on the
Charlotte street road just outside the
VI L VI hNiiiS -
Monday morning, November Z. The
ccrtention of the state is that Mrs.
Higgins and; Zimmerman who had
long been intimate wanted to be rid Of
Higgins who, it Is. alleged, was aware
of their intimacy and who had at
various times given his consent.
Zimmerman was arrested in a Shell
by cotton mill village shortly after the
,N,n Sincn hig arrest he has
maintained strict silence in reference
to the case. Although he has been in
Jail nearly six months he Is apparent
ly none the worse physically for his
long confinement.
He spends his time In reading and
writing and conversing with many
friends who call to see him, most of
his visitors coming on Sundav.
Zimmerman was at one time en-
plcyed at cotton mill in Yorkvillc
and it is said that he has worked at
otEer mills in the county. At one
time he also lived on 4 farm near
Yorkville.
In view of the fact that Mrs. Hug
gins, a red haired woman about 80
years of age ard the mother Of several
children, is the first white woman to
be charged with murder iE many
years in this county there is much in
tercst in the case not only in York
county but throughout the state.

Now is a good time to kill rats.

All of them need attention.
lit is going to take a good many
thosuands of dollars in road work to
make that Boyd's Ferry bridge On the
Catawba accessible to travellers be-
tween York and Mecklenburg counties.
There is practically no approach to
the bridge from the York county side
at the present time. There Is a KIND
of a trail that might be followed on
foot, or possibly with strong two
horse wagon, running empty or practi-
cally so; but it is not safe for Ford
cars. at least not until many Of the
ruts and holes are leveled up some
what. If the bridge were complete at
this time the traveller from Yorkville
or Glover to Charlotte, would far better
go by Belmont or Fort Mill than by. the
new bridge. And to make, the trip at
ell practicable it is going to be neces=
sarys to make a new road not only from
the. bridge site, to the present ridge
road; but the ridge road itself has got
to be worked on considerably.
An. anonymous correspondent, writ
ing from Sharon encloses dollar and
explains that he wants it understood
that the new religious denomination
that is establishing itself at that place
Is known as the Church Of Gods Peo-
ple," and not the Holy Rollers" Holy
Rollers" the correspondent goes on to
say, "is the name the Devil gave them,
for it is more than he could carry, so
he had to put rollers" to it so he could
handle it," The only mistake Of the
correspondent in the letter is failure
to sign the same in order that the
editor might know to whom to return
the dollar, the sending of which was
entirely unnecessary.

France insists that the Russians
sbourd nav back the money they have
borrowed from the French people and
in this she is right. Lloyd George does
not think that France should maintain
an army that makes her a menace to

her own government in her own way
he is opposed to Russian interference

Real Soldiers in

AN interesting fact about the
Queen OF Sheba," which opens
its second week Of showing at
Moore's Rialto Theater today. is the
large number Of world war vet
Grams taking part In the great
spectacle.
1t requires but q cursory glance
at the gigantic combat scenes Of
Queen Of Sheba" to become con-
WINGED that the military personnel
Of this production learned their
soldiery in places other than picture
lots. Their school was the war-torn
fields Of Europe. and this fact
enables them to render so good an
account Of themselves In scenes that
require unusual military snap and
dispatch.
Playing an envoy from King
Armud to Vashi In Queen Of
Sheba" Is Taylor e. Duncan, for
merly a captain Of coast artillery,
composed entirely Of motion picture
msn--actors, writer's, mechanics.

Another war veteran playing In
