* IGHAM CASE MAY BE THROWN OUT COURT Florence, June. 27.-Edmund -D. Bigham may be thrown out of the Supreme Court of the State on his latest attempt to sa ; himself, from the electril chair fox the murder of " his brother, L. Smiley, in a very short time, according to the announcement yesterday morning of L. M. Gasque, solicitor of the Twelfth circuit. He cently, t ie Supreme Court adopted a rule whereby it refuses to review a question of fact, as di tinguished from a question of law an judiciary discretion, once the lower court has passed on the facts in the pr mises. Under this rule, the solicitor may move, after ten days' notice to the at torney on the other side of the case to dismiss the motion for a new trial and get an answer without waiting for the tedious , processes of the court. "I intend to avail the State of this rule," Mr. Gasque said here this morning. "If , the supreme Court follows the rule it has laid down, as there is no reason of think it would not do, the Bigham -case will not hang in the supreme Court a year longer." Only last week, A. L. King, tat torney for Bigham, filed formal notice of intention to appeal. He has forty days in which to perfect his appeal and because of the volume of the record, he is hardly expected to complete his appeal much before Jhe limit. Then Mr. Gasque will require ten days in which to perfect his no-k tice to dismiss the appeal. This will -carry the case beyond the date of July 14, which is set for the execution. That Bigham will have to be resen tenced, unless -he wins his appeal, is certain. HOLD BIG CARNIVAL. ~WHILE WOUNDED GROAN Herrin, Ill., June 27.-Herrin, -its men and women and its babes in arms tonight held a carnival across the street from the hospital where the wounded strikebreakers of Thursday's massacre lay recovering-one or two dying their wounds. Laughter and jokes floated across the summer night; paper caps adorned the heads of the gay throng, and last week's "incident was forgotten in the gladness of social intercourse. The occasion was the installment of a local chapter of an international club. It began with a parade and a band blaring dance music from a truck. The mayor was there, and the chief of police and all the local digni taries.

TO THE VOTERS OF CLARENDON COUNTY Having announced my candidacy for the House of Representative, it is natural that you will want to know something about myself and what I stand for. I was born and reared on the farm, and have done manual labor all my life. I am forty-three years old. I have lived in this State all my life save six months in Florida, ten years i, Clarendon County. I stand for good roads, better com mon schools, well paid Christian men and women as teachers, compulsory education. I have always voted dry on all liouor issues and stand for a strict enforcement of our prohibition laws as are now on our statute books as well as a strict enforcement of all laws of our County and State. I strongly advocate economy in the expr nditure of our tax payer's money, and I amp strongly of the opinion that if our tax money were wisely spent, and if each employee of our govern ment were required to out in ten hours labor per day at a salary .along with the average man as to class and nualifications with our business men and women; and not an over plus of employees in any department of our government, county or state, then with such a system in operation, I am satisfied that a great reduction in taxes can be brought about, and not hurt our colleges and schools one iota. Since the great world's war tens of thousands of men and women have been thrown out of emnployment. and those who have held their positions have had their salaries "slashed to the core." Why not play the game fair with our government employees end meet tout equal rights to all and special privileges to none?. With the iibove outlined principles, together with many other measures alon constructive lines. I respectfully solicit your supnort. If elected you may depend on finding me on the job eluring the legislative session, work ing for what I know will have the an proval of the uiviority of the people of my county. Thanking you fr c'onsidieration, I aml, Yours very truly. HI. H.
