AN HEIR TO a nARaE FORTUNE,
Linotype Operator Says He viii Pro.
badly Keep Right on Working,
t(Columbia record, 5.

Eyes, am still on the Job" Rob.
ert Ussery, Of Aiken, linotype oper-
ator, and one of the principal helps
to the 150-millioh-dollar Browning
estate in Texas, told a Record report
er when he asked him IL he was still
working at his trade in spite Of great
riches which will lssoon be his.
The Browning estate is that Of the
late Thomas Browning, of Texas, who
46 years ago left this State to seek
his fortune. He found 1t in Texas, in
oil fields. There he died several
years ago, leaving an estate estimat-
ed at $150,000,O00,. Texas authori-
ties, as we'll as the United States gov
ernment, in whose trust the estate Is
now being held, have since been on
search for ktnspeople Of the late
Browning. Mr.. Ussery, one of the
claims to the estate, Is son of Thos.
Browning's nephew. -~
While he has not yet come into
possession OF any part Of the estate,
he Is justified in feeling as he does,
he said, since advices from his ,attor-
neys, Sims C Brown, Of Barnwell,
are that ~the red tape which sur
rounds the settling Of the estate is
rapidly being cleared, and that set
Element will soon be made.
"Of course T feel different" Mr..
Ussery said, "Who wouldn't when
he is expecting to receive more
money and property than he had
been able to conceive of-so much
that he will not even be able to spend
the interest from it? But" he contin-
ued, II may continue right on work
Ing" ---.~
In q quiet, unassuming manner, al
though with his eyes piercing into
the far-off future, Robert Ussery thus
made his summary on how 1t felt to
be a prospective millionaire. He is
married and has one child.
Considerable interest had. devel-
oped in the case in parts Of Georgia
and throughout this State, paTticu-
larly in Aiken and Barnwell coun-
ties, where there are large family
connections Of Brownings. None have
been found, however, who rememb er
the late Thomas Browning.

SOUTHERN Ns SEN NAToRS AROUSED;
Object to- the Appointment to Negroes
to Important Offices.

Washington, Nov. 23.--Although
it had been the general belief here
that. President Harding would re-
frain from appointing "the colored
brother'''t TO Federal office in The
Southern States, many Of the
Southern Senators, on returning for
the new session, are much aroused
over the fact that, during the recent
recess, ,/the President appointed me-
gro politician Of New Orleans, WAL
ter Cohen, to the lucrative position
of comptroller of customs of that
port-a position which was previous
ly knowna as surveroy.
It Is believed that one reason for
the visit OF Governor Parker, Of Lou
isiana, to Washington at this time
was lhatShe might urge that this ap-
point9ent be not followed up in
spite Of the protests to President
Harding that the Southern Senators
endeayor to keep the nomination
from coming to vote: The feeling
is that IL Cohen's nomination should
come to a vote"it would be confirmed
for partisan political reasons by the
Republican majority. If it does not
come toRa vote, the President can
only keep Cohen N his job by repeat:

From Having to Close Down-Piping
Water Into Company's Dam.

Not everybody knows just what a
great Institution the water system
recently installed in Walhalla has
proven to the Victor Monaghan Com
pany's local plant The drought that
has been 80 seriously affecting the
whole Piedmont section has hit the
local company hard in the matter of
water supply. The small stream that
'empties into The, dam has been run
ming exceedingly low, and for some
time the water has been totally mad
equate to meet the demands. When
the water system began supplying
water to citizens pipe line was run
into tho mill dam, thus keeping a
constant flow into it that has pre-
vented the necessity for closing down
at least for part of the time.
The mill management is very alert
in conserving its wa.er supply. In
order that there may be no waste
whatever, return pipes from the mill
to the dam have been in use for a
long while,s thus returning to the
pond all water that would ordinarily
go to waste.

Big bug Not So had.

A big and ferocious looking bug
was brought In to the county agent
recently by farmer, who said that
bugs OF this type were eating up his
wheat and oats. Other farmers re-
ported the same thing appearing in
the Ebenezer section. Some sample
bugs were sent to Prof. A. r. Conradi,
chief entomologist, at Clemson, who
replied as follows:
K These are the oil beetles, the
Same as blister beetles, and belong
to the tribe from which blister po-
tions are made, known as Camphar-
ides. II they bite a person on the
arm where the skin Is tender 1t will
raise q blister.
"These insects occur sporadically
now and then in green growing oats
and wheat. They conf1ne themselves
to small spots, and we have never
known them to do more injury than
to turn yellow just a few spots in the
Held. It is not regarded as a seriuos
pest"
