Our two American boys have been wearing- overalls for quite a bit ami we are hoping that this movement for everybody to don the garments is not going to put up the. price of the article. Luther, Jr., calls them "oversalls" and they both seem fond of wearing them. ???- i It would seem to us that with cotton mill stocks selling at 400 and the mills declaring 100 per cent dividends besides stock dividends that there might be some very good protits being made in this business, and the wearing of calicos and overalls would only tend to increase the price of cotton goods, but maybe this will help in some way the producer and induce more people to go to proJ? in iirV> r% f ] aucjiitr, uecausc uiai 10 nu?? , country needs just now, riore pro- j duction. And more economy and less j extravagance. And less waste. Wonder if that provision that we all thought was in the traffic ordinance about cut outs was taken out at the last moment just before the ratification of the ordinance as well! as the provision about driving to the right. Really if that is true the ordinance is scarcely a scrap of paper. The Herald and News takes pleasure in congratulating Mr. J. J. Vigodsky in winning the medal for his college at the intercollegiate debate at Greenwood last week. He had some foemen worthy ' of liis. steel. I i WILLIAMSBURG NEGRO KILLED BY W. M. DORROH \ i i Coroner's Jury Exonerates Mr. Dorroh?Acting as Deputy for the Federal Government?Making Whiskey Raid. i Mr. William M. Dorroh who has been working in the capacity of a federal prohibition officer was forced to kill a negro in Williamsburg county last week in order to save his own life. There must be a lot of whiskey being made down that side. The following is the account of the raid from The State of Sunday: Will Mathis, a negro living at Salters, about five miles from Kingstree in Williamsburg county, was shot and killed by federal prohibition officer, W. M. Dorroh, when he made an attack on the officer while a raid was being made in his house for blockade whiskey, according to a report brought to Columbia yesterday by federal prohibition officers who took part in the raid. The raid was "made April 15, and the negro, according to the officers, was attempting to wrest from the officers a bottle of whiskey which had been seized. Mathis seized a foot adz and is said to have struck one of the officers on the arm with it. A pistol is also said to bear the mark of the adz. In the struggle which ensued, the federal officer is said to have fired twice, one shot hitting > Mathis in the leg and the other in the body. He died in a short time, but almost with his dying breath refused to divulge the hiding place of his still. The coroner of Williamsburg held an inquest soon after the death of the negro and is said to have exonerated the officer. During the raids, seven stills, most of them of a small, crude pattern, n-?v.a ^ in Willia-mc.hnrcr prvnntv ?? .LVIA1JVA AAA TT v v..--^ and a considerable quantity of beer destroyed. The raids in Williamsburg county were made by federal prohibition officers, P. J. Coleman, W. M. Dorroh, W. C. Ickleburg, state constable and Deputy Sheriff Cockfield. Federal officers say that the deputy sheriff has rendered valuable assistance in efforts made to ' stop illicit distilling in his county, j One still was destroyed in Darling- j ton county and one in Florence dur- : in? the week according to reports submitted yesterday. Warrants were * also issued against two persons: charged with storing whiskey. Soldier's Body From Siberia.
