October J Last
Day to Register

Monday, October End, is the last
date on which the voters of the coun-
ty may register for the general 'elec-
ton. There are several hundred vot-
ers of this county who have not yet
registered, both men and women, and
The Herald takes this opportunity
of calling the attention of these vot-
ers to the duty of registering on the
next first Monday.
At this writing, Monday, the re-
suit of the primary election is not
known, but regardless of the result
of the primary, it is very important
that all white people of voting age,
men and women. enter their names
on the registration books. There has
been a well-founded belief that there
might be a bolt under certain condi-
tions, and it is squarely up to the
Democrats of this county and state
to register and be prepared for the
general election.
The time has come when the age
old apathy of South Carolina Demo-
Gratis toward our general elections
should be thing of the past. Events
are fast transpiring, and there is
likely to be split any time. Our
people have had ample opportunity
to observe that the one and only in
terest Of South Carolina lies with
the Democratic party.
It has been customary for about
$4,000 people in this state to partici-
pate in the general election. There
are at least 250,O00 qualified white
men and women in this state, and ev-
cry one of them should be register,
ed and they should exercise their
franchise in November.
There is going to be a strong ef-
fort on the part of the Republicans
to poll big vote in November. The
Jobs of certain South Carolina Repub-
licans depend on this, and you may
be sure that the effort will be made.
1t is entirely likely that the Repub-
licans will have full ticket in the
field.
Registration certificates may be
had by applying to the board of reg
istration at the court house on Mon
day, October 2. Those registering
after that date will not be allowed to
vote in the general election in No
vember.

Early Morning
rains Taken Off

Bamberg is temporarily almost on
the mail and transportation map. Be-
ginning last Sunday morning with on
ly notice of a day or two, the early
morning trains from and to Angus
ia were taken off, the reason assign
ed being the shortage of fuel, the
railroad strike, etc.
This means that not a solitary dali
ly newspaper reaches this good burg
before nine o'clock a. m, and maybe
not then. The State has routed it's
Bamberg papers by way of Orange
burg, and when everything goes off
we'll and the two roads make connec-
ton at Denmark, the papers arrive
here on the nine o'clock train. If
the connection misses fire at Den
mark, the State will get here at sew
en- O'Clock at night. The News and
Courier and the Augusta Chronicle
also get here at nine o'clock.
However, that is only small part
Of the isolation. If one wants to do
little business in Augusta, he can
leave here not before 1880, and if
the train is on time-which it is not
frequently these days-he may take
an hour for dinner in Augusta and
still have. whole hour to transact
business
About the same length of time can
be spent on a days trip to Charles
ton, or Columbia-perhaps a little
longer. It simply means that here
after Bamberg business people need
ing trip to any of the cities will
have to Ford it or stay all night.
The greatest inconvenience, per-
haps comes to the less fortunate
the sick. 1t has always been found
most convenient for local doctors to
take their patients to the hospitals
on these early trains.
We are assured, however, that the
present abbreviated service is only
temporary, and it is thought that
there will be no difficulty in persuad-
in the railroad commission to order
these trains back into service when
the present emergency passes.
Darn the strikers, say we!

E. T. HUGHES FOUND DEAD.
Chairman Ways and Means Commit.
tee of House.

Marion, Sept. 5.-The dead body
of Eddings Thomas Hughes, aged
AZ, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the house of represen-
tatives Of the last general assembly
and a prominent lawyer here, was
found in his bed at o'clock tonight
by Mr.. Hughes's mother-in-law, who
lives next door to him. There was no
evidence of foul play, but the cause
of his death has not yet been ascer-
tanned. Mr.. Hughes was seen this
morning in his home and on the
street, having returned from his sum-
mer home in Murrell's Inlet yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Hughes was one of the best
known men in the state. AS chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee of the house, he attracted much
notice last year and announced that
he would run for congress from the
sixth district. However, he with
drew from the race and was then
urged by many of his friends to run
for governor but did not enter this
race.

At meeting of the subscribers to
the capital stock of the Edisto Build
ing and Loan association of this city,
Monday morning organization was
perfected, directors we're elected, and
at a subsequent meeting of the direc-
tors officers of the new association

This association was organized by
stockholders of the Citizens Build
ing and Loan association, which has
now been in operation something ov-
er six years and which, it is expect
ed, will liquidate the latter part Of
this month. While the new associa-
ton is an entirely different body, it
includes most of the stockholders OF
the old association, and is something
in the nature Of the Citizens success
sor.
The first action of the subscribers
meeting was to fix the capital stock of
the association at $4,000. 1t was
announced that there are still some
shares unsubscribed, and that sub
scriptions will be received until the
full amount is taken.
The subscribers then elected i've
directors as follows: A. w. knight,
E. H. Henderson, DR.. Robert Black,
J. A. Spann, and w. E. Free. By
laws were adopted incorporating
practically the same regulations as
obtained for the old association-on-
ly minor changes being effected.
At the meeting Of directors immed-
lately following, the officers were
elected for the next year as follows:
President, A. w. knight; vice presi-
dent, DR.. Robert Black; secretary
and treasurer, R. NJ. Hit; attorney,
E. H. Henderson.
The first payment to the capital
stock will be made on the 10Th OF
this month, and subsequent payments
will be made on the 18th of each
month at 81 per share until the stock
natures at $100 per share.

BIGHAM APPEAL
NOT DISMISSED.

Columbia, Sept. 9.-In a per curl
am order handed down yesterday the
supreme court refused to dismiss the
appeal Of Edmund D. Bigham as Pc
titioned by Solicitor L. NJ. Gasque, OF
Marion, and will hear the appeal on
it's merits on the call of the twelfth
circuit cases before the court this
fall, which will be in November.
Solicitor Gasque moved before the
court on September 1 for a dismissal
of the appeal on the grounds that it
was manifestly without merit. The
court says that it does not consider
the appeal "manifestly without mer-
it, and will nto dismiss it. Mr.. Gas
cue moved under Rule 80 for the dis
missal, which provides for such ac-
ton in criminal appeals where there
is no apparent merit.
In the per curiam order the court
says: "The court is not convinced
that the grounds of appeal are mani
festly without merit and the motion
of the state to dismiss the appeal is
therefore refused.'
Bigham was convicted Of the muir
der of his brother, L. Smiley Bigham,
in March, 1921, at Florence and SEN
fenced to be electrocuted. He appeal
ed to the supreme court for new
trial but the court affirmed his convic-
ton. He was taken back to Florence
this summer to be resentenced and
when he appeared in court his attor-
ney, A. L. King, moved for new
trial on the grounds Of after discov-
cred evidence. Judge S. w. G. Shipp,
presiding at Florence, refused the
plea for a new trial. Bigham then
appealed from this refusal to the SUI
preme court. Solicitor Gasque moved
to dismiss the appeal but the court
| refused to do so.
Bigham in addition to being con-
victed for the killing of his brother, is
charged with killing his mother Mrs.
l.. S. Bigham, his sister, Mrs. Mar
gle Black, and his sisters two adopt
ed children, Leo and John McCrack-
en-. He has never been tried for the
| killing of any one except his brother.

City Proud of It's
Fire Department

Alexandria boasts of one Of the
best equipped and most efficient fire
departments in Virginia. Within the
past few years the entire department
has been motorized, the somewhat
Anticipated horse-drawn steam fire
engines and hook and ladder track
having given place to three triple
combination chemical and pumping
engines, modern Saotor truck, two
motor hose wagons, one motor sup
ply wagon and car for the use of
the chief. In addition, the depart
ment now has ready for use 10000
feet of hose, in perfect condition.
BESIDES the motorization of the fire
apparatus, the city council Of AleXan-
dria has recently placed in the hands
Of the fremen another advantage,
the Standardization of all couplings.
At every fire the paid members Of
the department have the assistance
