We understand that the defendant will attempt to prove that he was several miles away from the scene of the killing while the slate has seven witnesses who testified at the inquest, nearly nil of whom stated that they recognized Andrew linker when the shots were tired.

The prayer for forty hours together before the Blessed Sacrament in mem ory of the forty hours during which the Sacred Body of Jesus was in the sepulchre began in Milan about the year 15o4. Thence it spread into other cities of Italy and was introduced into Ilomc in 15-1S. The devotion of the forty hours was established by I*oq>e Clement VIII for the whole course of the year in regular continious suc cession from one Church to another, in order that the ftiithful might appease their Lord by prayer l>efore the Bless ed Sacrament solemnly exposed.

Thieves broke into tho |?olloo sta* I lull some time during Into Friday night or early Saturday morning and stole t-wenlfcy-sovon gullt^* and one quart ? ?!* whiskey. ? I >u t int? Christmas week Sheriff Hough and (ho |h?Uoo oUhMTseaptur* t?d two trunks at the Seaboard sta tion anil some 1 1 iu?> later the Sheriff captured another trimk. and not hav ing a safe place at the eourt house for keeping this eontrahaud he hud it locked np in a cell at the **i I y pris on, where It has remained until stolen. The thieves had to break into the outer door of the prison and nft<;r entering then had to break two Yale look* that secured the cell. The thief or thieves left no clue to their work, hut the otlicers ltelieve that the whis key has reverted to its original own em It was a daring and clever piece of .work. ospoolally when two , police men were on their heat no more than one hundred yards away. < Mlleers Jones and Stewart were on at the time, and the theft was not discovered until very early in the morn ing. Policeman Joues makes the state ment that late during Friday, night several pistol shots were tired near the court house and he liolioves this was a ruse to call him away from the street while the work was accomplish ed. The two officers keep wa toll two hours each ? one sleeps two hours while the other Is on duty, but other than th?' pistol shots they heard nothing of the burglary. Evidently there was more than one connected with the robbery, for the total weight of so much liquor was more than a bale of cotton. Two trunks contained packages put np In pint bottles while one trunk contain ed quarts and to have oyrriod this away /would have cntafteji quite a little labor. The total value of the liquor was said to 1m> around six hun dred dollars. Neither Sheriff Hough nor Constable Ha tenia ti wore notified of the theft until late Saturday night and during that length of time the thieves had plenty of Time to hide their plunder. Profiteers Help Red Cross. Columbia, Feb. 27. ? -Another prof iteer in Hour has added to the treas ury of the Ited Cross, according to the State Food Administration. Food Administrator Elliott today received a check from a dealer inutile State for $13K.2tf for excess charges for sugar. The food administrator followed his usual course and .allowed the dealer to contribute to the Hod Cross, as non understanding of , the ink's was pleaded. This makes approximately that has Ihhmi turned into tin* coffers of the Iteil Cross during the past few weeks because of excess charges made by sugar dealers in South Carolina.

HOW YOU CAN HELP THE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR Realize that the restrictions suggested by the Food Administra tors are fur the g<HMT~??r nil the people and to win the war. That those who are undertaking to enforce the food regulations are doing so from a spirit of patriotism ami service to their coun try and not for pay. Observe the wheat loss and meatless days strictly, and sec that others do so. These are most essential. Insist upon thro wheatless and meatless days wherever and when ever you eat. Good intentions and promises count for naught. Both preach and practice home economics. Talk food conservation. Tell your neighbors pf a practical and apr>etiziug recipe you have yourself used that economizes in wheat, sugar and fats. The food regulations are all sure and patriotic, and if you tind your merchants or eating houses are failing to co-operate report the facts to the Oounty Administrator and give your trade to those who appreciate the actual necessity for recognized rules. Women's clubs should discuss practical household questions and leave their Ibsen and Browning evenings until the Im>vs "over there" return home. When you use wheat see that it i* mixed with corn meal ami other cereals. See that your neighbors and particularly your merchant is co-op erating and is not asking unauthorized prices for food-stuff. < Be independent of the outside world and provide your table from your own field or garden. Have food-stuff to sell, not to buy. Remember that all you save in wheat, fats and meats is for your soldiers and their companions iti armies. Be a soldier behind the lines for half an hour ?-aeh day. and spend that time in seeing that food crops are cultivated your Held* or cultivate your own garden. ' If it is not for yon to he on the tiring line, do your bit In sav ing and protluring food. Mil. WITIIKKSrOON l>K.M> Passed \vvm> at Columbia and Itciiiains ItroiiKliI Here Tor Iturlal.
