Chaster News, Oct. 10: Many Chester
people a*e of the opinion that Judge
Puerifoy gave the bootleggers what
was coming to them in the way of road
sentences, ,The News wishes that it
had space to cite, the various prohibly
tion cases which were tried before
Scaap in Pickens county last
week. In the majority of cases, and
there were many, Judge Scase sentenced
the bootleggers to twelve
raopths apd a fine of $1,000 What
yesterday appeared to be a "political
battle" over the office of loca "magistrate
has quieted down anu in all
probability the office will now go to
Mr. Z. V. Davidson when Magistrate
H. H. Shannon's resignation becomes
effective November first. Several
names had been suggested for the
place and yesterday a "battle" between
Mr. Davidson and Mr. S. Churchill
Carter was apparently approaching.
However, The News understands that
Mr. Carter withdrew from the field
leaving,the matter to Mr. Davidson.
His appointment has already been
taken up with Governor Harvey and
word from that source is now being
looked for . A marriage woicn
came as a surprise to many friends
was that of Miss Oline Crowder and
Mr. Hugh D. Cothran, which was
solemnized at Purity Presbyterian
manse Sunday morning at .six-fortyflve
o'clock, Dr. Flournoy Sheppcrson

cases where children are being illegally

J, Marsh Hampton, well known citizen
of Gaffney, passed away at his home
on .North Limestone street early Friday
morning from acute indigestion.

The trustees of the Love Springs!
school district met with W. C. Mc- '
Arthur, county superintendent of education,.
early yesterday morning and
located the site for the new $8,000
school building which is to be built in
that district at an early date. The
new building will be erected on the
property where the old Sarrat^ school
is .now located. That the new. school
is not to be placed in the center of the
" district is due to the fact that a
passenger truck is to be added to the
school equipment. This truck will be ;

used to carry ine cmiurcn iu anu
school and by having the school
located at one end of the district the
truck will only have to make one trip.

America's Plethora of Gold.?The
Hen;ntment of Commerce reports that i
since , Columbus discovered* America i
about $]8,000.000,000 worth of gold has !
been mined, of which $10,000,000,000, an
well as most of the pre-Columbian j
stock, has been lost, worn out or used i
in the arts. The remaining J8.000.000,- i
000 is money, in circulation or stored j
in treasuries and banks. For all prac- ;
tical financial purposes this is the i
available gold stock of the world.
The Federal Reserve Board's weekly !
statement shows that $3,098,300,000 of
this gold is in the gold reserve in this
country. It is growing fast, though not
as fast as last year. There has been a j
gain since Jan. 1 of $214,300,000, and !
the present figure is a new record. The !
actual amount of gold coin in the
country, including non-active hoards
not reportable, is considerably greater. |
Even a year ago it was estimated by '
the director of the mint at $3,294,uuu,- 1
000.
Xothing is more remarkable in re- \
cent finance than the explosion of the 1
old theory that vast reserves of gold |
meant sound and stable conditions in :
a country, or necessarily meant pros- '
perity. The two billions of gold lying 1
idle in the I'nited States treasury, be- ;
yond their psychological effect in ;
quieting the nerves of the uninstruct- |
ed, are as useless to industry* as two j
million idle men might be. If financiers

SUCCESSFUL WOMAN
Operates Big Iron Foundry in the
West.
Coumpv. vision, patience. Those ox
plained Miss Al. Corula Woodbury or
Croat Fails, Montana, president of the
( real Falls iron works, are the main
requisites tor success in business.
"One needs courage (list, of course,"
said Miss Woodbury, who has the distinction
of being probqbly the only
woman in the United States at the
head of a prosperous iron plant, "and
vision that projects the finished product;
and then plenty of patience to
wait for the accomplishment of the
dream.
"I have watched our present plant
grow from a few small buildings that
seemed so far out of (treat Falls that
many friends jokingly asked why we
did not move into the city. Bpt I
have also seen the city grow up about
our establishment, which extended
from those few small buildings to its
present fine capacity. And a good
steady job of creative work is a lot of
fun, after nil. isn't it?"
The business over which she is
executive head was founded by her
father, L, S. Woodbury, about 30 years
ago. For many years Miss Woodbury
was his chief assistant and about 1907
took over the active management. .Because
of her thorough knowledge of
the industry she became her father's
logical successor about Ave years ago,
when the company was reorganized.
Since then i?ho has doubled the output
of the establishment, which employs
more than 150 men.
As president of the company. Miss
Woodbury supervises every department.
She is in intimate and constant
touch not only with the business offices,
but with.the machine shops,
foundry, structural and blacksmith
shopj^, It has been said "she is quick
to recognize indications of business
conditions needing wholesome thought
and keeps fully abreast of all new developments
affecting her field of efbrt."
Miss Woodbury explained that she
aims always to make the enterprise
sending those coined foafers about
their business and if congress would
permit that means to bo applied, the
American situation and the tinde of
the world would be in a much healthier
condition.?New York Herald.

FINALLY HANGED.
Two Men Take Turns Trying to Kill
Convicted Murderer.
Benny Swim, convicted murderer who
I was temporarily reprieved until a
I hangman c ould be found who would
| spring' the trap, was hanged Friday at
Woodstock, N. J., with two men trying
three times to do the job. Swim
i was convicted of shooting his cousin,
Mrs. Olive Swim Trenholme and her
j husband, Harvey Trenholme, in a "true
! love" sect shooting at Benton Ridge.
He was first ordered hanged on July
; 15. Pleading insanity, he won a rc
pricve until September 15. but on that
date no hangman could be found. Fri[
day two men who gave the fictitious
.names of "M. A. Doyle" sprung the
i trap. The first man tried it twice, but
i
j it failed to work. The second finally
worked it successfully.

Chain Gang for Bootleggers. -The
! spectacle r>f seven white men going to
the chain gang of tills eountj, most of j
them for violation of the prohibition
law, should have a deterrent effect on
others who are tempted by the quick
profits of bootleggers and distilling.
( And the seven are not all; two more
white men arc in the county jail and
I six negroes have been sent to the gang.
Judge C. C. Featherstone. of the county
court, deserves commendation for
> taking lirm measures with lawbreak|
ers.
It is well to remember that those
men were all first offenders. Greater
| severity mr.y be expected if they come
Ik fore the courts a second time. Fines
will never stop bootlegging and liquor
j making. Fines merely put a high
license on the traffic. P.ut chain gang
