"Wo have on quite a building l?oom at Groat Falls," said Chief of Police J. Cal Steel of that place and former- 1 ly of Yorkvflle who was in Yorkville this week attending court. "Something like sixteen store buildings are now under construction at Great Falls," Chief Steele went on to say, "and I understand the mill manage- , ment there is making arrangements to , build some thirty or more dwelling j ? houses. We don't know anything , about hard times at Great Falls." Turkeys. Apropos of Thanksgiving Gray ' Moore, well known young farmer of * Bcthesda township was talking about 1 turkeys the other day. "Turkeys," lie., said, "are much more trouble to raise 1 than chickens and therefore they com- 1 mand a higher price. In the first place, they lay their eggs in very se- 1 eluded spots and one loses much time in finding the nests. Then when ; they go to setting they must he watched very carefully. The mother turkey with her young ranges very exteti- ' sivcly and in nine cases out of ten are ( likely "to become the victims of some 1 nr-ichbor't? lotr. It is rarely the case ! I that one raises half the turkeys that i are hatched. That's why they bring ' 1 higher prices per pound than chickens and that is why I for one don't care to be bothered about raising them." I She Put on the Fan. Negro woman about as black as the ace of spades and possessed of a voice equal to the loudest horn that almost any automobile dealer sells, was testi- ' f.ving in a case in the court of general ' V sessions for York county growing out' ' of a shooting sera pa j ' * "And when the shooting began what j : became of you?" Solicitor Henry asked. ' Tiic negro woman looked at the vet- 1 eran prosecutor in some wonder and | i amazement and then she repeated: "What- wuz ah?" j ' "Yes, where weu? you?" queried the solicitor. "Ah Wits puttin' on dc fan," returned the colored woman. i "What do you mean?putting on the fan?" came the inquiry. "Boss," explained the woman, "ah; means clat ah wux gittin' away fum J where de shootin* was happening so fast dat de wind jest nachurly fanned ny as ah proceeded on mah way. Dat'.sj wltut ah means hy puttin*.on do fan." ( More About Phillips. Young Jim Page, son of Jas. A. Page of Clover, who is assistant manager of (he foothall team of Krskine College. wants the world to know about his friend "Body" Phillips who deserves a place on any old All American foot ball team that might In? picked, dim writes Views? and Interviews from Krskine: "While 'Dodo' was a Babe Buth around Yorkville this last summer he's even better on the foot ball field than on the baseball diamond, l'hillips has crossed every goal in the state, some tiling t!i:ii i-iirinan, uie hi.-iu- ni.niii> ions can not J toast of, Cloi.nson hold- j * ing them to a 0-0 score.

If Phillips plays ' for Vorkville next summer and plays ' rs good at baseball as he has at font j hall there will he no team in South ' Carolina that can beat Vorkville. I hope Vorkville and Clover can get 1 him again." Big Saving In Small Things. "One tiling I have noticed is that whether there Is money in raising wheat, corn and oats or not. if a man lias wheat, corn and <?ats lie can come pretty near raising a crop <>f eotton with hut little outside help. Also I have noticed that if a man wants to raise a crop and has not got those things, he has got to buy them, and whether lie buys then; for cash or on credit, he hits to pay for them with monev. So taken altogether, it seems ; to me that somehow or another corn, wheat or oats must he something of a money crop." So said M. L. Ford, the noted philos- ! opln i: of Clover, to Views and Inter, views the other day. Mr. Ford does not pretend to he a farmer; hut laowns several farms and all of tla-m yield more or less income, mainly through his managnm-nt. iI?* does not pretend to know a groat ileal about business; but somehow he is always able to pay his way and nobody ever catches liitn ill debt. He does not pretend to be espeeially bright in financial matters; but usually bis investments set m to yield a profit. He is not wasteful or extravagant; but nevertheless lie has what ho wants, and generally he happens to want things that are good. "It does not take a great deal more trouble to work two rows of potatoes than it does one and \Vhilc you are doinir it vou can pm in a row or two of tomatoes, some corn, some pinrters and different other kinds of vegetables, and you can cultivate them witb mightv lit* tie work, it don't mean much, maybe; but more than oner T have sat down to a good meal for my family and entertained myself with estimating the very small cost of it compared with what it r i would have been if I had bought it all ironi somcnoay imm-. j mcic ui? imw who g^y thertf is no money in raising these things; bill it seems to me that if I had not had a garden I would have paid out a good deal'more than I have' paid out." Accy is For Prohibition. Acey Wright, big fat ncgrt> with a sunshine strti'e and gleaming white teeth and all of that let the world know through the court of general \ sessions Tuesday that he is a strict prohibitionist now. ? Wright was a witness in a negro cutting scrape and the testimony developed that one negro who cut another had told his victim that he was going to have plenty of liquor at a supper to be held at. Wright's house. The solicitor tried to learn something about the liquor from Wright who denied that any liquor was at his plrfce on the specified occasion. "Mistah isolicitor," he said, "ah ain't had a drap o' liquor in three years? lot a drap. "Now ah uster drink right smart," le went on to explain voluntarily; "hut alv quit when yo' ail got mah man what ih got mih liquor fum. , "Does yo disromembor ole man John Woods whul^ived -ovah next to Hickory Grove and what dey called do daddy rabbit ob de moonshiners over next to Hickory Grove?" Solicitor Henry remembered Woods and remembered that he was contacted in I'nited States court. "Well suh," said Acey, "when dcy got in behinst ole man Woods and fixed him mah so'ce ob supply was gone an ah ain't had no liquor since?not a imp." Fighting the Weevil. "1 am not clear in,my* own mind as to whether it is best to try to do any- ^ tiling to encoyrage the planting of cotion next year," said Mr. M. L. Carroll, 1 uf Carroll I Iron., Vorkville, to Views] ind Interviews yesterday; "but here is] i letter that is <fUlte interesting, to'say ihe least of it, and if you care to print t for what it is worth, all right." t'iews and Interviews is decidedly of pinion that 'boll weevil, or no. boll ivetvil, the farmers of,, this section diould not try, to gro\v cotton except is n surplus *vrr necessary food crops. >ut. as .Mr Carroll says, ti;? biter, ivbieh is from It. f>.

We are informed that during previ-j nis years, corn and oats have been aimed oyer from the farm to the haingang, and that the cotton raised >n the fayni has been sold, and goes I nto the general county fund.

BLAMES JURORS FOR THE CONDITION ?? State Is Notorious for Failure to Convict Murderer's?Tells of Cases Where \AI U n Shot Victims In tht Back Escaped?Judge Says Man Whc Escapes With One Murder Will Kil Again?Asks Aid of Grand Jurors ir Teaching Regard for Oath. Dep'.oring the ever increasing number itf homicides in South Carolina and laying the blame at the door of petit Juries who fail to convict, Judge Hayne F. Itico made a powerful appeal to the York county grand Jury to return tc their respective homes determined tc use their influence with their neighbors who from time to time are members of petit juries, in seeking to "show them their duty to convict man-slayers, before he dismissed the grand jury Tuesday afternoon. It was a he&rl to heart talk that* tlie judge had with the grand jury?a talk similar' to one that he said he has made to every grand jury he lias had the pleasure ol 2 - ? I C</vnt U Puunllnn hlu fori ! auuressiiiK in ouimi vuuiiw w...o . "Gentlemen," said he, "this ever increasing number of homicides in South Carolina, is a matter that has caused me much concern: Rarely ever does I the South Carolina man who commits murder pay the penalty that the law provides. I have noticed that if one who commits a murder is allowed to gc free he will in most cases commit another murder at some time or other in his life. This thing bas worried me no little ever since I have been on the bench., When a man kills another with malice in l|is heart and is allowed to gc fr?e, some other man is going to meet death at his hands. State Is Notorious. "So long.as we allow this thing to go on so long will South Carolina have the name of being the worst state in the Cnion in tbe-qumber of diabolical homicides. It has been charged that a man can be brought up for stealing a horse or a cow or a hog and be convicted, but if he is charged with murder he will go free. There is much truth in that charge. ^ "1 have tried three cases that I recall just now where men were killed by being shot in the back. The murderers came into court and pleaded self-del'< ns" lb" iinlj defens" that they could make. They got away with it because in a case where the murder is cold blooded and brutal the only defense is self defense. They were acquitted^been use the juries that tried them had a very jow conception of their duty. "You have heard it said, and so have I. that there is no justice in the courthouse. If it is true whose fault is it but that ok the petit jury that tries the case? This thing of turning loose men who are guilty of dastardly murders is bound to react. "i'etit jurors," continued Judge Rice, "seem to-think that they have a> right to do as they please with a case, regardless of . the law and the evidence, and in my opinion it is this feeling on the part of petit juries that is responsible for the ever increasing number of homicides. Punishment Reduces Crime."I htu'e hoard people say that punishment doesn't reduce crime. To my mind such a statement is nonsense. To the average man life is dearer than anything If a man knows tltfit he will pay with his own life for the killing of his fel'.owman he will think a long time before lie kills. "There hlive been too ljiany mi?earriages of justice in South Carolina This state has a reputation throughout tlie I'nion for failure to convict murderers. I'ntil petit jurors get a highei concept ion of their duty?until they learn that they are to he governed ir tin ir Verdicts purely by the law and the evidence and without fear or favi).-. tins unsavory reputation that the state litis in regard to murder is going to increase instead of decrease. "I would impress upon you members of the county's' grand jury of tuques! to discuss this matter of homicides with your friends and neighbors. 1 would have you to impress upoji'them the importance 'of doing their duty it murder eases and in striving to teach them to regard as holy and sacred tin oath thai they take to try cases solelj upon the it. .v and tjie evidence. No Fault of Solicitors. "1 am convinced that scarcity of con vietions is not the fault of the solicitors of the slate. We have in this state solicitors who are the tviual in abilit> anil encijrv of the public pros -eutors o| any other state. Too often have I seer these solicitors make out clear cases ol murder only to have the murderers walk oat of the courthouse free men b> verdict of a jury of twelve. 'I would like t>> talk to you pentlem< it of the pi'and jury lonper," said Judpe |:!< ?> in conclusion; "luit I know that vou are tired and that you art anxious in lvtiirn to your respective homes. There arc other matters within tin county that, I would like to discuss with you; hut I shall not do s< now. However. I could not dismiss you without calling to your attention the ever inereusitiLr murder record of your state and mine, and withmlt asking your aid in trying to impress upon pi lit jurors in your respective sections the importance of high regard for their oaths and a higher conception of tlieii - > duty and responsibility concerning homicides." f TURBULENT SENATORS Williams and Watson Run Close to a ? Fist Fight. Charges by Senator Watson, of Georgia, that Henry Ford "robbed the government" during the war precipi' tated red-hot debate in the senate t Monday and threatened at one time , to lead to fistcuffs, according to the , Washington Heraicl. I Senator Williams, of Mississippi, , undertook to defend Mr. Ford. He recalled the days when, he said, the senator from Georgia was "running I with Henry Ford against the country . and in the Interest of people with the , common enemy." "The senator knows that is not y true," shouted Senator Watson, leap, ing to his feet and advancing in Senator Williams' direction. "What's not true?"' demanded Sen, ator Williams. "That I ever ran with Mr. Ford I against my country," repll%l Senator Watson. I ! "Well, I'll take back what I said , about Mr."Vord," snarled Senator Wil| liams, "but I say that the senator , from Georgia was running a newspaper in which he urged the people of Georgia to resist the draft law and other activities during the war," i * Physical Violence Averted. t ' With half a dozen senators clamoring for order, Senator Watson rose again and cried: "The senator knows that what he says is not true." * The presiding officer, rapping vigorously for order, succeeded in Restoring quiet, and Senator Williams disappeared into the Democratic cloak room. Senator Heflin, of Alabama, ' gained recognition and physical violence was averted. ^ The outbreak came during the debate on the question of allowing Truman H. Newberry to retain his seat as 1 senator from Michigan. Henry Ford has been contesting Mr. Newberry's right to the seat, and Senator Watson took occasion to pay his respects to the Detroit autqmobile manufacturer He declared that the war department records "sifow that Henry Ford robbed ! the government." Attacks Ford's Son. Senator Watson said it was stated | that Mr. Ford contributed $50,000 to Woodrow Wilson's campaign fund in 1 191G, at the personal request of Joseph I*. Tumulty. "Did that liberal gift have anything ; to do with- keeping Henry Ford's son out of the army when so many hundreds of thousands of other men's sons were in the army. Thousands of them fighting, suffering, dying in Flanders and in France, while Edsel Ford i was continuing to make his Lizzies to : run against golden chariots?" asked Senator Watson. ! "What else did Henry Ford get out ; of Wilson's honest and patriotic administration? It was reported that he got $14,000,000 for the construction of Eagle boats which were either useless [ or not constructed, and when the fact : was brought hom^ to Henry Ford, he said he was going to return the monj ey to Uncle Sam. I was anxious to , have a front seat and see Henry do ' that, but he has jiot done it. Says Huge Sumj Were Given. "Let us come to something more snecific. oroven by the records of the . war department. The Ford Motor Company, according to the war department. received from Wilson's ad. ministration $249,000,000 for loolr [ which were never delivered. I sup! pose Henry has them Vet.

HOGGINS CASE POSTPONED . _ V Mrs. Hugglns and Albert Zimmerman to be Tried Next April. INSUFFICIENT TINE FOR DEFENSE Counsel Told Court Two DefendantaCharged With Murder Are" Almost Wholly Without Funds?Witnesses for Prisoners Scattered to Many Cities?State Opposed Continuanop of Case on Ground That Witness## ' Might Leave. Albert Zimmerman and Mrs. Effie Huggins charged with the alleged murder of Pink Huggins, store keeper of Charlotte street, Yorkvllle and husband of the woman on the night of November 6, will not be tried until the April, 1922 term of the court of general sessions. Whether they will be tried then remains to be seen. On motion of Thos. P. McDow, fcsq., counsel for Mrs. Huggins and W. B. Wilson, Esq., counsel for Zimmerman, Judge, Kice continued the case until April, Tuesday evening. Plea of counsel was that they had not had time to prepare a proper defense; that the defendants were poor people who had not yet been able to raise money to pay lawyer's fees~and other costs; that one of the members of the counsel did not feel physically able to go into trial of such an important case at this term of court and that both members of counsel were Interested in a case before the supreme court which could not be postponed. Solicitor Henry opposed continuance . on the ground that the witnesses in the case were "migratory witnesses" and that it was doubtful if they could be obtained next April whereas they Were on hand at the present time and the state was ready to go to trial. Judge Rice's Statement. Judge Rice stated that he would *t KA grant'me rriunon ior uviuuiuaiwc u?I cause he was sure that in the event the defendants were convicted and an appeal was taken to the supreme court that tribunal would set aside any verdict that might be rendered on the ground that the defendants had not had time to prepare a proper defense. "I shall allow a continuance en the further ground," said his honor, "that' these people are poor people who should be given every opportunity to defend themselves no matter how guilty or-innoeent they may be. I feel sure that should we go into the caae now all of our work would be for nothing." I ' i W. B. Wilson, Esq., told the court that he had been approached for retention as counsel in the case only about ten days ago and Mr. McDow stated that he had been called in only three or foyr days ago to defend Mrs. Huggins. i. Change of Venue Not Asked. There was no request made for a change of venue on the ground that the defendants could not obtain a fair trial in York county for the reason that so much newspaper publicity had been given the case, as had been reported might be made. The only reference along that line was made by Mr. Wilson who stated that "public opinion is very much fixed at this time because of so much newspaper publicity but whether that publicity has been put out by the state or who I can not say." k . Counsel stated that the defendants were not only almost wholly without funds, but that their relatives had showed 1:0 interest in them ar.d had made no attempt to come to their aid. Witnesses for the defense, it wals argued, are now living in several cities and towns and counsel have had no , time to interview and examine them. It was stated further that Mrs. Hug' gins is an expectant mother and was not in physical condition to undergo [ trial for her life at this time. Neither Zimmerman nor Mrs. Huggins were in the court room when the | motion for a continuance of the case ( was made by their counsel. They were not brought into the court room I during Tuesday. Bond Not Likely. Whether an attempt will be made \ to obtain bail for the two defendants remains to be seen. In view of the fact that both of them* are without funds and apparently without friends it is hardly likely and the probability is .that they will remain in jail until next spring entirely cut off from communication with each other. ?? ' The three children of Mrs. Hugglns have visited her since she has been in the jail; but it was learned from the jailor that they have shown little in terest in her. Other relatives have also visited both Mrs. Huggins and Zimmerman since their arrest. ^^harleston, November 22: A $1,000,000 good roads bond issue was au' thorized by a decisive majority vote i in this county today, general apathy marking the balloting, with only a percentage of registered citizens accepting their equal rights of suflferage. With all city boxes in, and one from J the rural districts, the vote stood 1,1 057 for the bond issue and 16 against. , j The rural vote unreported will make I no difference as to the result. In the ' j city. 097 voted for the issue and 14 j against, and it is likely the total exj pense of the election will not reach $30. The money resulting from the sale of I these bonds will be expended largely in permanent highways by the sanitary , and drainage commission.
