Chester1 Reporter, Nov. 21: Rev. F.
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. Pryor
and their seven children was the division
of their reel estate among the
latter, which was done Saturday evening.
The property was divided into
seven lots, each consisting of town
property and country property, and the
drawing for the valuable city property,
with.accompanying tract of farm land,

government's ginning report issued on
Monday morning at noon. On the
strength of this report, cotton advanced
a few points. A few staggering
snow flakes were seen to fall

weather moderated considerably Monday

and the children were not paying
much attention to the teacher, who
was giving a chemistry lesson.
"Name three articles containing

who appeared more interested in
drowning a fly in his ink-well.
Roused by the teacher's voice into
alertness, he replied:
"Two cuffs and a'collar."

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 |

'LAW WITH TEETH
Spirituous Beverages Deprived of
Medicinal Camouflage.
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."
