state peniteat;ary at hard labor.
Barron Grier, one Of the attor-
neys for the defense, did not arrive
until 8 O'Clock, being tied UP in the
Underwood case in Greenwood this
week. Mr.. Grier arrived in time to
make an appeal for leniency to Judge
Smith and asked that the judge not
give a more severe sentence than the
resident Judge did in the first trial.
Judge Smith was firm in his stand
and held that the facts in the case
warranted a sentence Of y years.
About year and half ago Ash
ley received the same verdict and
was sentenced to II years y. the pen
itentiary. Upon an appeal for lenl-
ency to Judge George E. Prince. the
sentence was changed to ten years.
Ashley was released on bond pend

SKULL SHOALS TO
GET A NEW PASTOR

If Dr.. f. c. Hickson, moderator of
the Broad River Baptist association,
persists in MS announced determine
ton to keep on preaching at Skull
Shoals Baptist church, instead of ac-
cepting the invitation Of the board
Of deacons TO resign, he may ex-
pound the Gospel to empty pews, 1t
was intimated yesterday by j. u.
Kendrick. a member Of the Skull
Shoals board Of deacons, who was a
visitor in Gaffney. While no definite
announcement has been made, it is
understood that the deacons have al
ready started negotiations to secure
the services of another minister, and
arrangements have been made to
change the regular preaching day
from the fourth to the third Sunday
in each month.
NJ. Kendrick expressed regret that
TIE present situation should have de-
veloped, especially in view of the fact
that he has been a personal friend
to Dr.. Hickson.
A short time ago the board of dea-
cons of the Skull Shoals church un-
animously decided to request the
resignation Of Dr. Hickson as the
pastor because Of his alleged politi-
cal activities. 1t was only a few
days before the second primary that
DR.. Hickson published a, statement
advocating the election Of Cole L.
Blease for governor, and he himself
had been candidate for county
Office in the first primary.
Mr.. Kendrick yesterday recalled
the fact that several years ago DR..
Hickson quit conducting a revival
meeting in the Rehoboth church
church when the Littlejohn's box re-
turned majority in favor of Mr..
Blease. In the last primary, the vote
was more than two to one against
Blease.

vEToEs BONUS

In vetoing the soldier bonus bill
President Harding did what every
body expected him to DO, and the
only thing he consistently could have
done under the circumstances.
Before the bill was voted upon IN
ether house of congress, the presi-
dent put its proponents on notice
nat if it were passed without pro-
vision being made for financing the
expenditures contemplated, he would
veto It.
Congress enacted the measure,
knowing that the president would We
to it.
/: Its supporters sought to fool the
veterans of the World war by MAX
ing an appearance of deep-seated IN
terest in their welfare, obviously ex-
pecting to gain their reciprocal sup
port of the soldiers and their house
holds at the polls this fall.
They knew that the country is bur
dened with taxation, almost to the
breaking point: That the treasury OF
the nation is in no condition to meet
the demands that are now confront
ing it, to say nothing of additional
drains.
They knew that the inclusion of a
provision fer the financing of sol
dier's bonus service would entail in
creased taxation.
So, seeking to avoid alternating the
good will of business and of the tax
paying masses, and at the same time
to curry favor with the soldier
vote" they passed the bonus bill
without making provision for pay
ing the contemplated .oonus, know
ing that the president would prevent
it from becoming law, and trusting
that the real motive would escape de-
lection.
They sought to go before the vet
erans of the World war with g rec
ord Of having voted for the bonus,
letting responsibility for defeating it
rest upon the president!
The whole scheme was transparent
and it was no credit to congress.
There is not sn ex-service man,
nor business man, nor an intelli-
gent voter in the country who can
not see through it!
The political time-servers in con-
gress who sought to hoodwink the
veterans and fool the masses Of the
people, have made a bungling job OF
it!
They have fooled nobody but
n.selves.-Atlant Constitution.

RELATIVE OF EMILY GEIGEH
WRITES
Aged Citizen of Ridge Spring Com
munity Gives Affidavit Concern
ing Revolutionary Heroine
RI Tho Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
For years the question Of whether
or not Emily Geiger was real per
sonage and heroine of the Revolu'
tionsry war, OF a mere myth has
been discussed and it is still an un-
settled question. I understand that
Alex S. Salley, Jr., our well inform
: ed secretary Of the State Historical
commission. and who is most depend
able as an authority on many histor!-
cal questions, has conclusively shown
that Emily Geiger did not make the
trip accredited to her by Chapman
and others VINO have followed him.
1t is very probable that many, after
having been convinced that she did
not make the ride attributed to her
in Chapman's history and the writing
Of others, have concluded that no
such person ever lived.
It is we'll known that marriage
and death and Relationship, ETC.,
can be proven in courts of law by
reputation and it is in this way only
that such proof oftentimes can oe es-
tablished.
There must also always be some
foundation in fact for so beautiful
story and. for such heroic conduct
as that attributed to Emily Geiger.
Bearing these two statements IN
in mind, the affidavit herewith suO-
m:tted for publication, along with
this letter, it seems to ME, must for
ever set al rest the differences of
opinion which for years have existed
in regard to whether or not such a
person as Emily Geiger ever lived.
This affidavit is given by Mr.. John
Threewits Nicholson, now 81 years
of age, and a gentleman whom
have known personally for more than
80 years and whose reputation for
veracity and general standing IN the
Ridge Spring community has never
been doubted or questioned. Nothing
can be added to what this at1ldavlt
contains, and while it is evidently
true, as Mr.. Salley has shown, that
Emily Geiger could not have carried
the message accredited to her IN the
history of Chapman and others, this
affidavit must forever settle as fact
that such person as Emily Geige1
lived, and that she carried message
from some point in this state to an
other point on behalf of the Wings
and that while carrying said mes
sage she was captured by the British

South Carolina,
Saluda County.

Personally comes. the undersigned,
John Threewits Nicholson, who on
oath says that he is now 81 years of
age and was born and reared in
Edgefeld county, and has for a long
number of years resided where he
now lives, to wit, near Ridge Spring,
in Saluda county. That Saluda coun-
ty was formed out of Edgefeld coun-
ty. That deponent has heard. his
father and mother state that they
had seen and talked with numerous
people who knew Emily Geiger or
knew of Emily Geiger. That depon-
ent's mother was a Threewits and it
was the common reputation in the
family of deponent's father and mo-
ther that Emily Geiger married John
Theewits, a blood relative OF depo-
nent's mother and of deponent. Fur
thermore that it was the general rep
utation in deponent's mothers faml-
ly and in the family of the Threewits
that Emily Geiger carried message
during the Revolutionary war and
was captured by the British while
carrying said message. That after
the Revolutionary war it was the
common reputation in his mothers
family and said reputation was ac-
cepted as being true that she married
John Threewits, and lived in Lexlng-
ton county, few miles west of Co.
lumbia and died there.
