Carlos CorbeH Loses
in Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The su-
preme court today, for want OF juris-
diction, dismissed the case of Carlos
Corbett, plaintiff in error, against the
state of South Carolina, defendant in
error.
The effect of the dismissal will be
that Corbett will have again to face
a charge of murder.
Corbett killed three men near Sal
lev in Orangebung county more than
a year ago by firing separate and dis
tinct shots at the different men. He
was tried for the killing of one of
the men and acquitted. When ar
raigned for trial on separate in
dictment for the killing of another of
the men, he interposed plea of for
mer jeopardy. Counsel for the state
demurred on this plea. The circuit
Judge oyerruled the demurrer. The
state appealed to the supreme court
of the state of South Carolina. That
court rendered it's decision in Octo-
ber, 1921, reversing the trial Judge
and remanding the case to the cir
cult court for trial. Application for
a writ of error to the supreme court
of the United States was then pre-
sented by counsel for Corbett and al
lowed by Chief Justice Gary of the
supreme court of South Carolina.
The state of South Carolina moved
that the case be dismissed by the su-
preme court of the United States for
want of Jurisdiction for the follow
ing reasons:
CD Because there had been no
final Judgment rendered in the case.
CD Because even were judgment
final, it would not be renewable by
writ of error.
CD Because even were the judg-
ment final and renewable by writ
Of error, the supreme court had in
numerous cases decided the Question
raised contrary to the contention to
the plaintiff in error.

GO TO N. Y. TO BORROW MONEY.
State Financing Committee Leaves
On Trip For Cash.

Governor Cooper, Sam T. Carter,
state treasurer, Walter E. Duncan,
comptroller general, and J. Pope
Matthews, president of the Palmetto
National bank, left Columbia yester-
day afternoon for New York, where
they will negotiate loan Of $4,000
900 for the state government.
The governor, the comptroller gen
eral and the state treasurer are au-
thorized by law to borrow money
every year to run the government in
anticipation of the taxes to be COL
lected. This year the sum to be bor-
rowed will be 100000. Under the
terms of the general appropriation
bill the committee is authorized to
borrow not to exceed s5,050,O00, but
the seven mill levy will not permit of
this amount being borrowed

Making a Success of Onions.

To date MIR. Prothro has marketed
$40 worth of onions from an acre and
he has just started He is very en-
thusiastic over the prospects of this
as one of the crops that will help
fight Mr.. Weevil.
Last year, owing to extreme heat
and dry weather, the production of
onions in the United States was cur
tailed, creating a shortage. Since
then many have been imported and
the prices have been high. A good
many other farmers of this section
have planted onions this year and
within a few years it will not be an
unusual sight to see several cars of
onions leaving Williston. Mr.. Pro-
thro says that from 100 to 800 bush
els can be made to the acre and 81 a
bushel is very moderate price.
While they should be planted in the
fall, it is even now not too late to
plant some, especially should each
farmer require his share-croppers to
plant enough for their own use.
Mr.. Prothro has demonstrated that
the ideal way for the man to grow
onions who has not planted the seed
early in the fall is to buy the onion

all of the plants he has to spare and
could sell many more. This thinneu

fine onions and receiving good prices
for them. A trip to his farm simply
to see these onions is worth while

There are certain unpleasant
things about this question Of equal
rights. The women now are full
fedged citizens; their dut y is to
vote, to serve on juries, and so on.
No women have been placed in the
jury boxes in this state yet, but they
will be. South Carolina petit juries
have way about them of wrangling
much over verdicts in some cases and
they frequently spend a night or two
locked up; under the law they can
not be separated. In St. Paul re-
Gently jury composed of seven wo-
men and five men had to spend two
nights locked in one room before a
verdict could be reached. When only
men were eligible for jury duty no.
body was greatly concerned when a
jury elected to argue for day or
two about a case; but with women
involved it becomes a different mat
ter.

The radiophone is a new lnVen-
ton that is making good. There
have been so many marvellous new
inventions in recent years that people
have not yet realized the wonders
of the radiophone. This is little
instrument, we are told, about the
size Of an ordinary parlor phono-
graph, by the means of which the
family circle may listen in on con-
certs given in Philadelphia or New
York at certain hours of the day or
evening. It is a wireless instrument,
and the cost is said not to greatly ex-
ceed that of talking machine Of the
better kind. This little invention
bids fair to revolutionize things in
general, and it may be interesting
further to note that the instrument
is not merely in the experimental
stage, but thousands of them are be-
ing installed in homes and clubs all
over the country. The scope of the
radiophone is not limited to con-
certs; sermons, news dispatches,
etc., are heard with equal ease and
accuracy.

WILSON REGAINS HEALTH.
Former President Also Retains All OF
His Old Time Popularity.

Washington March 4.-Former
President Woodrow Wilson today con-
cluded one year as private citizen
living in seclusion after eight years
of public life. When he left the
White House a year ago he was en-
feebled and broken in health. Today,
according to those who have talked
with him, recently, he shows only
slightly the effects of the dangerous
illness he suffered in the last few
months of his term as president.
Personal friends who have called
at the S street home of Mr.. Wilson
in the last few days express amaze
ment at the tremedous strides he
has made toward full recovery. This
is particularly noticeable, they say,
in the returning power Of his voice,
and freedom of movement.
Mr.. Wilson's health, it is said, is
generally better today than it has
been at any time since he broke down
at Wichita, Kan, under the strain OF
the vigorous stumping campaign in
behalf of the League of Nations dur
ing the fall of 1919.
When he left the White House for
the last time to attend the inaugura-
tion of his successor his face was
ashen gray and clearly revealed by
deep lines the long fight he had made
against an illness which many be-
lieved would keep him in bed for the
rest of his days.
Today Mr.. Wilson weighs as much
as he did when he was stricken. The
lines have gone from his eyes and
his cheeks, and his complexion is
ruddy, showing clearly the result of
the extreme care with which his
health is guarded.
Further evidence of the improve
ment is shown by the increasing
number of visitors calling at his
home, the resumption of small family
dinner parties and the constantly in
creasing frequency of long automo-
bile rides and visits to the theatre.
When he appears at the theatre
Washingtonians give yociferous proof
that he has lost none Of the popu-
larity he enjoyed as president. Every
time the whole audience stands and
cheers until he is seated, this being
repeated when he leaves. The same
respect is given him now as when he
was at the White House. No one
leaves the theatre until after Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson have passed out.
So far Mr.. Wilson has refused to
take any direct part in international
affairs and only occasionally ex-
presses an opinion in personal letters
regarding domestic affairs, but he
follows both with intense interest,"

The marketing movement has a
good start in Bamberg county. The
farmers of the county have linked
mn with the tobacco, cotton and truck
marketing organizations. With the
perfection of these selling agencies,
it is safe to predict that the planters
are going to enjoy better conditions
in the south. We cannot see that any
planter stands to lose anything by
going in with the marketing organ
izations, and ne may lose much by
not doing so.

NEGROES LEAVE TRAIN.
Actors Refuse to Ride in Jim Crow"
COMPARTMENT.

Winchester, Va, March 15.-Rath-
er than ride in a Jim Crow" com
partment of a Pennsylvania train
from the state line to this city,
Charles S. Gilpin, negro actor and his
troupe quit the train at Clearbrook,
Va, and made the rest of the trip to
Winchester by automobile.
When the conductor told Gilpin
the Virginia state requirements in
regard to negro passengers, a heated
argument is said to have followed,
which resulted in some quotations
from President Harding's expressed
views on the negro question. The
conductor refused to be persuaded
by the arguments. Gilpin got off and
his company followed.

A writer in the Columbia State
from GreenyilIs says: Last year
I made s1,000,000 and have paid
$750,000 income tax, including sur
tax. After l spit up s250,O00 for the
state, I will proceed to take a long
vacation, as l will be just as well off
to twiddle my thumbs as to work my
head off. Several thousand men in
my employ will be out of a job be-
ginning April l. This is probably
a joke at the expense Of the new in
come tax law. No man in this neck
of woods is prepared to believe that
anybody in South Carolina made a
million dollars last year. However.
that may be, there is a lot of COM
mon sense in the item. 1t is not our
impression that $750,000 tax is ex-
tracted from a million dollar income,
but it is dangerously near the
amount-about s650,000 we believe
If anybody is fortunate enough to
make q million in a year in this
state, he will have to pay in addition
to this amount $4,000 to the state,
making a total income tax of $751;
00O.' After thinking the matter over
carefully and judiciously, We have
decided not to become millionaire.

People still call for free garden
seeds. The Herald regrets to an
nounce that the supply has long since
been exhausted, and no more seeds
can be passed out, unless our genial
congressman can jolly the agricul-
tural department into forwarding an
other supply. Never before in the
recollection of this writer has, there
been such a demand for free seeds.
On several occasions heretofore The
Herald has had to beg people to take
seeds. Gardeners evidently appreci-
ate free seeds this year. =.

Much interest is being taken in
the scientific world in the story of the
finding in Patagonia of prehistoric
animal, thought extinct for some
thousands of years. The animal is
said to be one hundred feet long,
and the exact replica of fossils found
in the same country. An expedition
has been fitted out, it is said, to get
the animal, dead or alive, whereupon
the Patagonian society equivalent to
the American Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals protests
that the beast ought to be allowed
to live, especially as it appears to
be the only one in existence.

There has been perceptible tight
ening up in the jury rooms of South
Carolina during the past few years.
There has been a decided change of
sentiment in regard to crime, and
this sentiment is having a marked
effect ON the commission of crime,
which is not as prevalent now as a
year ago. A few years ago a person
with influence and money could come
very near to buying his freedom in
this state; not directly, of course, but
just as surely by other and perhaps
legal methods accomplishing the
same thing. This is not nearly so
easy to accomplish today.

OF course, as the season is yet early,
dt is not at all unlikely that there
may be others. However, there are
some strong men in the list and If
they really mean business, there is
going to be lively campaign this
year. 1t is very likely, though, that
the first intimation some of these
gentlemen had that they were going
in for the governorship was when
they read their names in the Her

Poor South Carolina!

Once every year we have our feel
ing of pity for South Carolina, and
that is upon the annual meeting Of
her legislature.
:. Up in North Carolina we do not let
our solons meet but once in every
two years, but in South Carolina they
meet every January, and as the cot
ton mill operative vote holds the bal
ance of political power in that state,
the office seeking members of the
legislature strive and connive to in
troduce measures that will attract
the mill vote to themselves.
Many wonderful bills have been
introduced in the past, but none have
ever exceeded in brilliancy of con-
ception that one introduced last week
by member from lower South Caro-
lima.
The bill would. have made 1t lille
gal to close down any cotton mill ey-
en- though business conditions were
such as to show large losses from op-
Grafton. OF course, no such measure
will pass, but we can not help won
dering if the wise author of the meas
f'ure expected the law to be effective IN
case of a strike.
Every state legislature has its
share of rattle-brained members and
it is the hard luck of South Carolina
that she has to deal with her quota
once every year.-Textile Bulletin.

Bank Cannot Get
Rosborough Funds

1t might be of some interest to
Bamberg county people, especially
Denmark folks who were acquainted
with Eugene E. Rosborough when he
lived there as boy, to know that the
superior court of Richmond county,
Georgia, of which Augusta is the
county seat, has held that the life
insurance companies must pay to his
widow the full amount of the policies
on his life totalling $4,000.
The companies did not deny the full
liability, but Mr.. Rosborough, who
was cashier of an Augusta bank, got
in bad financial straits with the bank
last fall and committed suicide, hav-
ing embezzled, it is alleged, over
s150,000. The policies were all made
payable to his wife as beneficiary and
a few minutes before his rash act,
he left a note to his wife asking her
to turn over to the bank $4,000 OF
the money to help meet his shortage
and to retain the balance for herself.
In addition to this the bank claim
ed that the premiums on the poll
cies were paid by Rosborough with
the banks funds. On these grounds
the bank attempted to collect from
the companies the amount in ques-
ton and to have the court restrain
payment in full to the beneficiary
widow.
The court denied this right, and
the case will be appealed to the su-
pretne court of Georgia, and Mrs.
Rosborough has been restrained from
using the funds while the suit is
pending. Many people in Denmark
remember Eugene Rosborough quite
well.
