WHITE MEN AND NECROEti
MU8T SERVE JAIL TERMS
(Continued from first page.)
at the time, ami entrance was forced
under a Health warrant issued by
Magistrate Nicholston. J
Hart testified that ? .-there were in
the neighborhood of two dozen fruit
jars in the kitchen, most of which
smellcd of whiskey. In one of the
rooms, in a washstand drawer, he says
they found "one pint pif contraband
whiskey, which wan colored red, mad*'
by a process within this state.," Thin
Kami* kin<i of whiskey, he said, he had
found at stills in Edgefield county,
In another room, the testimony was
to the effect that a two?quaft fruit
?v. jar was found, nearly full of corn
whiskey, the jar being covered with
an old coat or cloth. Also a small
glass and a funnel were found on a
box in a roonl. In the bed room were
two beds the witpc^ssea said, and in
one of the trunks personal effects,
letters, papers, etc., addressed to and
with the name of K. S. Villepigue,,
were found, find in another trrunk let
ters addressed to James Truesdalo.
Trucr.dalo is a negro under indictment
for violation of the prohibition law
on the same state of facts out of
which grew the prosecution of Ville
pifue.
The testimony was that the doors
leading into the hallway had three
latches each on them. The defense
moved for the direction of a verdict
for the defendant on the ground that
Villepigue had not sufficiently been
connected with the premises, and
when this motion was overruled, evi
dence was offered by the defense to
the effect that Villepigue slept at a
different place, and tending to show
he was not responsible for the prem
ises, Witnesses also testified to seeing
a negro in the yard of the premises
shortly before the raid, and running
upon the approach of the officers.
The jury received the case before
the dinner recess hour. Shortly before
five' o'clock they asked for further in
strut 'liuun, mid after being charged
again by .Judge DeVore. as to the
matter's upon which they desired in
formation, retired and shortly after
wards brought ip a verdict of guilty
with recommendation to mercy,
whereupon Judge DeVore imposed the
sentence of one year, fixing bail in
the sutn of $3,000, pending appeal.
The process by which the red liquor
was made Hart testified was the, use
of rye shorts and corn, and the liquor
was colored in charred barrels, with
a little red oak bark put in it. I
Hart testified as to watching the
premises at night before the search,
and described the automobiles he saw
drive to the premises.
On Wednesday morning James
Truesdale, colored, pleaded guilty to
violation of th*? prohibition law, the
indictment growing nut of the same
rase upon which Yitlepigue whs con
victed, and Truesdale wax sentenced
to serve three months. ,
Letter Johnson, colored. whs con
victed ut assault and battery with in
:4ent to kill upon tin* person of an
other negro hoy. Johnson was sen
tenuced to serve nine months "on the
... _ Kut |cdg?>, colored, charged
with violating prohibition law, was
? tried in his absence and found guilty
J and a Healed sentence given. He later
: app< arcd and WUH granted a new trial
| which will come up at a later term.
Anderson I'eay, colored, was charg
! ed with housebreaking and larceny
and carrying concealed weapons and
found not guilty. He was charged
with entering the house of Alberta
Watkins, a notorious negro woman,
where it is charged he stole a pistol,
j The court adjourned Wednesday af
ternoon and second week jurors have
been notified that they need not ap
pear. Very few cases were continued
to other terms. The court of common
pleas will begin on the second Monday
in November, being the 12th day.
Presentment of Crrand Jury.
To His Honor, Judge J. W. DeVore,
Judge of the Fall term of Court,
for Kershaw County, 1923:
We beg to say that we have passed
on all bills handed us by the Solicitor
and such other matters as came be
fore us,
We inspected the Jail and found it
well kept, and gratified to find that
the broken floor had been repaired.
The prisoners ajvpeared comfortable
and well fed.
In looking over the Court House we
found that needed repairs recom
mended are being made to tho roof)
etc:
The Public Schools o I the County
have nearly all begun the Fall term,
with a fair prospect for good work.
1 he tax problem as affecting the
Schools has been taken up with the
several departments authorized to
levy and collect same, and wish to
say that fine progress has been made,
Our Delegation gives us to under
stand that a real effort will be made
to make adequate, and to stabilize our
School finances. The Sheriff appeared
before us and satisfied this Jury that
he was making good progress in the
collections of tax executions and
back taxes, and stated that he hoped
to have practically a clean sheet by
next spring. The County Auditor was
called in to explain the large amount
of double entry returns of property,
Lloyd George and "Pal" See America
David L?oyd George, England's War Premier and the sti our man
of that great con0ict, sailed into N-w Vork Harbor on his first trip
Here to be accorded a welcome which left the little Scotchman breath
less With his wife and daughter he is now in Canada prior to a tour
of the United States, when great demonstration* \vill nc featured at
every stop. Shown with him here is his daughter, Megan, his "pal"
and constant companion. ,
causing the taxes groin# to executions
to appear very large. He informs us
that he had eliminated about seven
hundred double .entries, persons dead,
Jand moved out of the county.
* From information the Bridge near
Kirkleys over Lynches Creek has not
been built. This matter is urgent and
we recommend that the Road author
ities give this Bridge attention. A
footway is badly needed through the
swamp at Teams bridge over Twenty
Five mile Creek. The rest of the roads
in the county sppm to be in as good
repair* as the recent dry weather
would permit.
The Foreman of the Grand Jury at
tended the checking of the Books of
the County Officers and found the
same to check and to the best of his
knowledge and belief are corect.
We have turned over, to the Sheriff
several requests for indictments,
against violators of the law, which
we hope will be attended to at once.
We thank the Judge, Solicitor and
the Officers of the Court for courte
sies shown us, all of which we respec
fully submit.
1. J. McKENZIE,
Foreman of Grand Jury.
^Second Week Jurors Not Needed.
Clerk of Court Clyburn and Sheriff
Welsh request us to state that jurors
called to serve for the wefck beginning
October 29th need not appear for jury
duty as the court for that week has
been called off.

CARNIVALS MUST PAY TAX,
! ?
Jack King'ti Tent Theatre Playing
Ai H?rc Gets Exemption.
Carnivals and like shows operated
1 in connection with state and county
fairs were yesterday morning denied
their petitioned exemption from pay'
taunt of the state amusement admis
sion tax by the special relief commis
\ ftion meeting in the office* of the state
tax commission.
The case for exemption of the car
nivals as presented by various repre
sentatives attending the session was
bottomed upon the contentions: that
the carnivals could not absorb the tax
and could not pass it.\on to the public
and that the, requiring of payment of
tax would react to hurt the state and
county fairs. The attempt to pass on
the tax to the purchasers of tickets,
it was argued, would result in a de
crease in attendance, which would 're
duce the profits of the fairs. Repre
senting the petitioners were: T. A.
Wolfe, head of the Wolfe shows now
at the state fair;' 13. O. Frierson of
Spartanbdrg and Paul V. Moore of
Columbia.
The petition for exemption was re
fused. A number of fairs, it was
pointed out, have already been held
and the taxes collected upon carnivals
exhibiting in connection with them.
Victor Canares head of Jack King's
pomedians, a traveling stock company
presenting full length plays was also
heard by the commission which held
that his company, differing from
other "road shows" only in the fact
that it exhibited in a tent rather
than in a, theater, was to be exempted
as provided in the former ruling per
mitting the . exhibition of "road
shows" without payment of the tax.
King's show is now at Camden.
Attending the session were: Gov.
Thomas G McLeod, Senator II. II.
Gross, Representative Claud N. Sapp
j and the three members of the state
j tax commission, Chairman Walter G.
