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.

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?

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.

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

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.
