Ray Riddle, pastor of Lowryville Presbyterian church, has tendered his resignation to take effect December 1. in order that he may devote his entire time to the position which he was recently given by the Synod of South Carolina?tha^ of superintendent of the Home Mission department of the Sytk>d. The members of Rev. Mr. Riddle's church accepted his resignation very reluctantly; however, realising the .larger work which he was to understake, they accepted it Rev. J. B. Traywick has been confined to his home on Academy street for several days with a-severe cold, accompanied by bronchitis, and is still running some temperature, though some better. As Sa.n Brice, colored. who lives on Dr." C. A. McLurkin's plantation in the Halsellville neighborhood was jogging along on his way to Chester Saturday morning, he was stopped on the Ash"ord Ferry road about three miles from Chester by n white man, who was sitting by the roadside, and asked for a match. As , Brice shoved his hand into his pocket ; to comply, the white man, according to Brice's story, grabbed the rein of j his steed, and covered him with a pistol and demanded his money. Brice says he made some show of resistance, i , whereupon the white man whistled, 4 and a confederate came running out of the woods, also with a pistol in his hand. Brice was then searched, and a pocketbook containing thirty dollars was taken by the highwaymen, who walked off into the woods and allowed their victim to go his way. Brice says the two robbers were very dirtylooking, and he would have no trouble in identifying them. He . reported the occurrence to Sheriff Anderson immediately upon his arrival in Chester; and the sheriff nnd his deputy, Mr. Howze, hurried to the scene, but were unable to find the robbers An event of interest to the many friends of the late Dr. and Mrs. S. \V.

FIVE YEARS FOR WOM\N Unnatural Mother Put Her Babies In a Well. Among the interesting cases tried at the court of general sessions at Wathalla hist week was the case of the state against Ellis Hall and his wife, Mabel Hall, charged wi h assault and battery with intent to sill. It is recalled that the Halls were charged with carrying two babies, twins, about six months bf age. up on the Toll Gate road some 18 miles north of Walhalla, louring the babies into an abandoned well and leaving them there. The couple then are alleged to have begun their retreat out of Oconee county, but were apprehended and lodged in jail, where they remained until their trial. After the state had completed Its ease, Judge Ernest Moore, upon motion of defendants' attorney, directed a verdict of not guilty as to the defendant. Ellis Hall. The defense offered by attorneys of Mabel Hall was Insanity, that this defendant was mentally incapable and consequently should not be*punished. The jury rendered a veixllct of guilty of assault and battery of a hi;h and aggravated nature as to Mabel Hall. Judge Moore sentenced her to the stato penitentiary or to the cou ".ty jail for five years at stic^i labor as she was able to perform, but upoi plea of her attorneys, the sentence is to be qerved | the drafts economically you want it, io fuel waste, t is ornamenburns for 10 r\of kerosene.

Passage of anti-beer bill "marks a new step forward in the enforcement of prohibition," Commissioner Hayncs said. Wednesday it: a formal statc4 raeni. The act, ho said, strengthened the I hands of the prohibition forces in dealing with the alleged medicinal pre- : pcrations sold on the open market and used for beverage purposes and also | limits the activities of "the few phyA sictans" who were issuijig prescriptions for liquor to people not actually j requiring it. # | "No embarrassment in the jenforccmcnt of prohibition," Mr. Haynes said, "is anticipated from the provision imposing penal liability upon officers J searching1 dwelling without warrants and searching other property without reasonable cause. The officers are given fair warning that they must, not starch dwellings without warrants and no attempts to do so will J>? made. It will be a very rare case In which, j under the act, an officer can be prosecuted on account of the search of other property. Heforr a case against an officer can be sustained it will be necessary to show not only that the officer did not have a, warrant but that he acted maliciously and without probable cause. "It, therefore,'appears that so long! as prohibition officers have reasonable : ground for suspecting, a violation of i the prohibition act theytenn not be i .punished for searching property other i than a dwelling without a warrant. No substantial decrease In the ac- I 'tivitfes of prohibition ofUcerslstinti- j cipated as the result of the new act j and I am entirely confident that the ! United States, attorney and the do-I purtment of Justice are not going to I institute proceedings against officers; except in the case of a wilful and wanton search by an officer without i reasonable grounds for doing ho." - , ' *' ' - '*> '* ''I Since the Days of Our PILGRIM FATHERS \ W THANKSGIVING DAY has been a day for good eating. > Come to ; THE CASH AND CAREY For your good eating for Thanksgiving.
