SWYCERT TESTIFIES
in OWN BEHALF

Lexington, Jan. 20.-Job C. Swy-
CERT, who is being tried here on the
charge of murder for the killing of
DR.. j. G.. Nicholson in Leesville last
year, took the stand in his own be-
half this afternoon. The defendant
sets up claim of self defense. In
his testimony he said that DR.. Nichol-
son had made threats against him
and that he shot the physician in
fear of his own life. He was on the
witness stand about an hour.
The state put up several more wit
nesses today, seven thus far having
been heard, among them being Mrs.
J. G. Nicholson. wife of the dead
man.
The state rested its case at 1
o'clock today but will likely present
other witnesses tomorrow.
The first testimony for the defense
was the written statement of DIR. j.
P. Drafts of Leesville, who is too i'll
to attend court. His testimony was
taken Thursday and was read to the
court.
1t is not likely that the case will be
completed this week, as witnesses for
the state and the defense are yet to
be heard, and four or five speeches
will likely be made by lawyers on
both sides.
When court is not sitting the jury
is kept locked up.

grams urging me to accept your invi

Carolina, where he is wanted on
charges of jnciting to riot, Governor

here today. There is absolutely no
danger of mob violence against the
negro" the governor said, but out of
abundance of prccaution every pro-
lection will be given when he is
brought back for trial. The negro
stands in absolutely no danger Of be-
ing lynched, the governor added.
Governor Morrison forwarded -ex-
tradition papers for the negro to the
state department before leaving Raj
cigh last night and he does not plan
to call at the state department. in per-
son, but is confident the papers will
go promptly through the regular Of
fetal channels to the Canadian au-
thoritics.
Seventeen others charged with Bull
lock in the Norlina, n. c., riot in
January of last year were 'apprehend-
ed and tried, and convicted, without
any attempt at mob violence, the gov
ernor said. When the first arrest for
the riot was made, the governor as
serted, two of the prisoners were
lynched by small masked mob who
deceived the officers into believing
they were ready to protect the Jail
against possible trouble. Troops weer
ordered out Immediately and no fur
ther signs of mob violence appeared,
the governor stated r'-.
Bullock, the negro now under arrest
in Canada, was declared by the gov
ernor to be wanted on charges of hav-
ing been the ring leader of the, riot.
"But he will be afforded every pro
lection and there is nothing to thc
statement that he would be in danger
of lynching if returned to North Caro-
lina," Governor Morrison asserted.

MEN SHOOT UP
GEORGIA TOWN

Blackshear, Ga, Jan. 20.-A gang
of men believed to be members Of a
whiskey distilling ring at an early
hour this morning visited this city
and proceeded to shoot up the busi-
ness district. Many guests at a local
hotel had narrow escapes from bull
lets when the building was subjected
to heavy fire. Ten other buildings
in the city were riddled with bullets.
There were no casualties.
The hotel was owned and operated
by Mrs. J. w. Robertson, widow of
the former sheriff and mother of
Sheriff Olin Robertson of this county
The postofice windows were broken
by bullet as were the windows of
the Blackshear Drug company,
Strickland Bros. company, S. E.
Cohen and DR.. G. Hendrix. No one
was injured and the men who did the

Former Sheriff Robertson was kill
ed last August in raiding an illicit
still near here and the attack on the
town came within a few hours after
the son who succeeded to the office
had seized large copper still during
a raid.
The firing started about 1:30
o'clock and lasted for 20 minutes,
pistols, shotguns aid rifles being
used by the outlaws. 1t is not known
how many men We're in the party
and it might have been that they
were travelling in an automobile. No
arrests have been made by Pierce
county authorities.
The gang evidently waited outside
of the city limits until the local pow
er house cut off it's lighting system
for the night. With the town in to-
tai darkness, the gang swooped down,
firing at random. There was little
shouting above the roar of their
barking weapons. Residents on the
outskirts of the city said they saw
an automobile go through town after
the shooting had ceased. They say
it was heavily loaded with men.

MOVIE TAX BILL
SENT TO SENATE

The new taxation program, which
is expected TO be the piece de re-
slstance of the sessions legal menu.
yesterday continued its steady adj
vance in the house of representatives
the salient features of the meet
ing being the passage on third
reading of the motion picture license
bill and the introduction of the for
elgn corporation license tax meas
urc. The domestic corporation license
tax bill, which was introduced Thurs
day, was not taken up for considera
tlon on the objection of Jennings K.
Owens of Bcnnettsville that the print
cd bill had not been on the desks of
tho members the required "a hours
This measure, as well as the foreign
corporation tax bill, is expected to
come up for the second reading Mon
day night. The introduction of the
foreign corporation tax bill yesterday
leaves only the luxury tax measure
still to come from the hands of the
ways and means committee.
The motion picture license bill.
fathered by Edgar A. Brown of Barn
well, is modelled closely after the New
York state law and provides for the
licensing of all films to be exhibited
in the state, a license fee of SIS per
1000 feet Of original sfilm and of
$3.50 per 1000 feet of additional
copies of films being charged. The
bill, which was sent to the senate
yesterday without further debate, it
is estimated, will bring in to the state
returns averaging 100000 annually.
The license fee, under the provisions
of the measure, will be collected by
the secretary of state, who is also
empowered to prescribe such rules
and regulations for the application
and issuance of permits as he may
see fit. The failure to comply with
the terms of the proposed act would
be made misdemeanor and any per-
son, finn or corporation exhibiting an
unlicensed film in the state would be
made liable to a fine of $l0O or i'm
prisonment for 80 days for each of
fense.

MAN
DIES OF INJURIES

w. FRANK Walker, prominent farm.
er and member of the city council of
Blackville, died at the Baptist hospi-
tai at about l o'clock this morning of
injuries received, according to infor-
nation reaching Columbia, in a fight
with A. Y. Collum, Blackville mer-
chant, and Belton Tanning, Collum's
brother-in-law. Walker was said to
have been struck with cold drink
bottle.
Mr.. Walker was brought to CO.
lumbia at about 10 o'clock last night
and was Immediately carried to the
hospital where he was operated upon
in vain effort to save his life.
Details as to the difficulty were
meager and the cause of the fight
shrouded in maze of conflicting
stories. The affray, which occurred
just in front of Mr.. Collum's store
on the main street of Blackville at
about o'clock yesterday afternoon,
according to Sheriff C. K. Sanders of
Barnwell, who was reached at his
home by telephone last night, was
said by some to be the elimination
of long standing differences between
the two men. 1t was not known who
was the aggressor in the fray, Sher-
iff Sanders said, but Colum claims
that the fight was started by Walker,
according to the sheriff, who says
hat lie,
walked into his store and threatened
him. Walker, Collum claims, ac-
cording to Sheriff Sanders, drew a
pistol during the fight. Bolton Fan
ming, Columns brother-in-law, Col
ium says, then took the pistol away
from Walker.
The first blow broke the scalp, but
it was thought, did little internal
damage, the second, however, was
just over the temple, fracturing the
skull.
Officers secured the pistol which
Tanning is alleged to have taken
from Walker, who, it is claimed by
Collum, according to Sheriff Sanders,
also had pair of brass knucks.
B. L. Boylston,of Blacksville, one
of the eyewitnesses of the affray,
went to Walkers aid after he had
been struck and assisted the physi.
clan who had been called in, carrying
l&ha jninysd man home, Here under
the &ttenvfoss - - H. ii
Blackville and DR.. Joe Matthews of
Denmark, Walker was given prelim
mary treatment to be brought to Co.
lumbia later. Both physicians ac-
| companicd Mr.. Walker to Columbia
Both Collum and Tanning We're put
| under bond by the city council OF
Blackville, according to Sheriff San

know of the extent of Walkers in

noon, but did not make any arrest
leaving the handling Of the case tc
the Blackville authorities. Informe.
| of Mr.. Walkers death early this
morning, Sheriff Sanders said that
the two men would be taken into
custody at once.
Mr.. Walker was AZ years old anC
