Government Balloon Stranded. A United States army balloon in | charge of W. J. Medusky sprang a lealc near Edgmoor, Chester county Wednesday and had to descend. The ball loon occupied by several army airmen was said to have been en route from Norfolk, Va? to some point on the coast. Shortly after 'he big balloon landed Wednesday because of leaking gas it was packed up and shipped back to Norfolk. Its appearance at Edgmoor attracted great interest and miny wild stories immediately gained circulation relative to its descent. Among other reports it nas circulated that moonshiners in the n< ighborhood, becoming suspicious of the craft and bellevinsr that it had been commissioned by some enterprising prohibition inspector to search for "hootch," fired upon it The big: pas bag is said to have left Norfolk at 4 a. m. Tuesday. Bradford for Free Books. That ho will introduce a bill at the coming session of the South Carolina legislature, providing free text books in the public schools up to and including the fifth grade, is the statement made by W. R. Bradford, York county representative to the general assembly, who has served several terms in the house and for a term chairman of the ways and means committee. At the past session Mr. Bradford declined the chairmanship of that impo-tant committee, feeling that he could serve better as a member. He has been interested in the text book question for some time and is now giving the subject considerable thought. Mr. Bradford stated that he ?* 1 At -v tnsi miioh Deuevcu iiH-ri! niu viiiik-i; uw ........ changing of the text books, nnd that ownership would tend to curtail the introduction of new text. books. He believes that a sufficient sum can be pro. vided by saving here and there on the management of the aiTairs of state to meet the cost of providing text books without resorting to taxation. Representative Bradford believes that the time will come when all the public schools will provide free text books for the pupils; that the state having said a child, must attend school until it has reached a certain age, it is incumbent upon the state to furnish free text books for those it requires to go to school. However, to provide text books for all the public schools would entail an expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars and while the patrons of the schools will expend a great deal more than that amount this fall for books, they do not mind spending a dollar for books anything like as *bad as paying 50 cents to the state to buy for them the same dook mcy puiu for. Consequently, Mr. Bradford believes a deal of missionary work will have to be done before the people of South Carolina will stand for taxation to raise a fund with which to buy school books. But the lower grades can be provided with free br *ks and a start made in the right direction. ? Detectives of two New Jersey counties have been working for the past six days to identify the party or parties responsible for the killing of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist at New Brunswick and Mrs. James Mills, his choir leader on Thursday night of last week. They think they have Centered upon the , guilty party; but have not yet seen proper to make an arrest for the reason that an arrest would immediately be followed by habeas corpus proceed4 oorinii'D IViMD tn ?riv*? Itlgb ? JUCII nuuiu v V- o - - away their case before they are ready and probably help tht suspected slayer. k The two bodies were found in a secluded lane near the church; but it is not certain that the killing; took place there. It appears that there was a vacant house some distance away, and i there are some circumstances to indik cate that Mr. Hall a id Mrs. Mills had B been there. Mrs. Hall has a brother, P Willie Stevens, well known about New Brunswick and over a large part of New Jersey, who has no special occupation, and Mrs. Hall has stated that she was out late Thursday night with her brother, having gone to the church in search of her husband. Willie Hall is said to have corroborated his sister's statement in one instance and in another case to have told another story. From the manner in which the dead man and woman were shot and cut, Hull's throat having been cut, it is evident that there must have been some blood; but no blood has been found either in the church lane or near the old home. A filmy handkerchief, with several bullet holes in it, was found, on the abandoned farm, near where, it is thought possible that the killing may have occurred and one of the detectives claims to have picked a nlutnl- Kut hns nr.t <351 i ivherp Neither Mrs. Hall nor Willie Stevens have shown much signs of grief over the killing-, it is said. Willie Stevens is quoted as saying that although he has a pistol, the one that the detective claims to have found is not his. ? Fire, writes a correspondent of the Associate Press, has accomplished for the Turks what the sword has failed to do. Asia Minor, the cradle of Christianity, will soon be depopulated of Christians. Many of those in Smyrna who were not snatched from death by American and other rescuers arc disappearing into the hills, some voluntarily, many by force. Others are dying of exhaustion, fright or exposure 011 the shattered stone water front of the benighted city. The only cry American correspondents hear is, "Won't Ameri? ca come and save us?" Mustapha Kemal's order permitting American and allied ships to enter the harbor to evacuate the victims has relieved the anguish of both refugees and relief workers, but every day's delay in the arrival of the vessels means the death of many. Ix?ss than 50,000 Christians remained huddled on the quay or in concentration camps out of the original 250,000 and the worst fears are en tcrtained for tnose who were uikcn forcibly into the interior. The Turkish edict has pone forth "Christianity must be stamped out in Asia." The lack of food and clothing and the unspeakable sanitary conditions are adding to the horrors, and the people are obliged to eat the flesh of an mals killed in the k lire days. The American blue jackets have ransacked, the ships in the harbor for condensed milk for the famished babies and have given Vheir coats to women. The nights are bitterly cold and the shivering fugitives take refuge in the cellars of smouldering ruins; others have burrowed into the earth like animals of the wild. Mothers in bitter anguish and despair are thrusting their babies int< the sea. The combination of war, m; ssacre, fire, drowning and famine diseases has visited scourge and havoc upon innocent and defenseless Christian women and ** children. One must go hack to pagan times to find a counterpart to the reign of fury, fire and famine which laid this great shrine of Chi istianity in ashes. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? Jackson if.

Restriction of the federal Judiciary was urged upon congress in a resolution adopted by the South Carolina State Federation of Labor which brought its annual convention to a close in Columbia Tuesday. The resolution, which was sent to the South Carolina representatives in congress, charged that the Judges were "usurping powers and authority never contemplated by the founders of the government. Whereas the federal judiciary has for years been usurping powers and. authority never contemplated by the founders of the government and whereas such usurpations are not only violative of the constitution and of the most sacred of human rights, but have actually been a ?? of ry/Mrnrnf cnt I menuce iu uui iuhu ui 5wTV> therefore.
