Nashville, August 10. h'orty-livc million pounds of powder wore de stroyed by fi rt? at tin' Oltl Hickory I'owder plant near here, today. The lpgs on the basis of present price* i* held at more than $2, .000, 000; The powder was manufactured for the Inderal govern went- during the war at a cost of approximately $SJ2, 500,000 for 'the 15,000,000 pounds de stroyed. Machinery and buildings erected by the government during the war at a i:ost of more than $5,000,000 were destroyed by the flames, which sp/ead over an area of 'forty acres in the .heart of the plant. The total war-time cost of the property and powder de stroyed was estimated to be more than $28,000,000. The powder had been stored here by. the government as a war reserve Opc-half of it was to be used in road-building, under the direction of tin* Department of Agriculture. Fifty factory buildings, owned by the Nashville corporation, which were rented to the government for storage of powder, were consumed in the con flagration. The factory machinery was the property of the government. The fire was declared to be the greatest single loss suffered by the government since the World War, and was rated as one of the most deflt mo tive incidents in the history of gov ernment munitions plants, No one was severely injured. Clyburn to Electric Chair. Monroe Enquirer: At the conven ing <>f court at '1 o'clock Saturday afternoon .Judge Henry I'. Lane sen tenced Vance Clyburn to die in the electric chair Friday, November 2Kth, for the murder of Mr. Butler Funder burk one year before. Sheriff Fowler will within the next few days take the condemned colored man to Ral eigh to the state penitentiary to aVait his doom. When Judge Lane pronounced sentence on Clyburn none in the large audience could detect any tremor, any emotion on the counte nance of the condemned man. He was us stolid as an ox, and apparent ly about as unconcerned. Returning to the jail he complained that it was "d ? d hot." Clyburn still maintains that he is innocent of the crime with which he is charged, At the conclu sion of the judge's sentence, (Ty burn's attorneys gave notice of ap peal. It is rather a coincidence thai Clyburn was sentenced to expatriate the crime just one year after Butler Funderburk met his horrible death, lie was killed on the night of Friday, November '50th, and Clyburn is sen- I tenccd to the electric chair on the last Friday in November.

And Now Pay# Penalty l>y Hanging In Louisiana. ,\ ill** Piattr, I. a., Aug. - Kuz?-1)-' Vidrine, 27 year old confessed slayer of rtvip mon, wont calmly to his death on the scaffold at 12:42 o'clock thin afternoon for the murder May 19, last, -of Robert JYeo Wiggins, 27 year old son of a former sheriff of Evang eline parish, his fifth victim. He was pronounced dead tit 1 :05 p. m. Accompanied by a priest and sever al deputies, Vidrine began the death march a few minutes after noon from hi* cell in the Kvangeline parish jail to an enclosure erected m the 'jViil yard. At the foot of the scaffold he stopped to have his photograph taken and after mounting the struc ture h?* spoke for half an hour, ad monishing his hearers not to gamble or drink whiskey. At no time did he show signs of nervousness. After the noose had been placed around the condemned man's neck he requested Sheriff Charles Pucheu that another picture be taken of htm. This was done. The black cap then was quickly adjusted and the sheriff sprang the trap. ^ Karlier in the day at the request of Vidrine his photograph was taken while seat- *! on the casket which later was to contain his. body. Although it had been announced ?that Vidrinc's body would be display ed on the fou.thouse square in fulfill ment of a wish of the condemned man Sheriff Pucheu changed his plans at the request of Vidrino*fc mother and it was taken* immediately to his former home several miles in the country. In a book written by Vidrine since his conviction of the murder of Wig gins and released following his execu tion, he told of how he slew the other four men. One was a farmer and the other three taxi drivers. His motive was robbery. Wiggins was shot to death when he refused to give Vidrine a ride in his automobile, according to the latter's confession and testimony at his trial. Three of Vidrinc's other victims, Charles Garbow, Lee Duke and John Hoy, a mulatto, met death in a simi lar manner. Vidrine shot and killed them while he was a passenger in their cars. Picric Vidrine, an aged farmer, was shot and killed by Vi drine while plowing in his field. Duke was killed near Orange, Tex as, December 12, 1921, for whose death Frank Smith is now serving a 15 year sentence in the Texas peni tentiary. As a result of Vidrinc's confession, a group of Texans who came here today, declared that steps would be taken immediately to obtain Smith's release. Blind Oppose Sightless Beggars. Columbia, S. C., August 11. ? A move is being launched throughout the State to deny permits to blind llegglfrs tTTply iheir mendicant trade in South Carolina. Strangely enough this effort re? ceives its most active support from the blind themselves, through emis saries of the Association of the Blind of South Carolina. Mrs. Kllen Beach Mack, founder of the Association, which has crude and inadequate quarters at 1-131 Calhoun street, Columbia, declares the asso ciation is determined in its effort ul timately to place every blind person i 1 1 the State on a basis as near self supporting as possible. This is one of the chief objects of the campaign now in progress for funds with which to erect a new home and workshop f?>r the adult blind. "With the opportunities offered for instructing the blind in useful arts and handicraft that will improve their time and lighten their burden of self support," says Mrs. Mack, her self sight les<, "there should be no occasion for any of us sacrificing self respect by begging on the streets and making ours?dve? a nuisance in --ur communities.

Distribntors Cam cjlen, S. C. Babbling Iioozc. A drunk man is a pitiable creature. We feel that way about him even though we laugh at his crazy stunts. His mind takes on all sorts of shades. I He generally feels .rich ? the only time he is permitted to enjoy that ex perience. He is invariably profane, vulgar and garrulous when the spell is on. Last Wednesday night we had a case of a drunk man at the steering wheel imagining he was robbed. It is deplorable that a drunk man has a mania for the steering wheel of an ; automobile. But, strange to say, he i invariably mangles the wrong man. He seldom injures himself. But, to get( back. In this particular case. Clove Wannamaker, a St. Matthews auto mechanic, was journeying up the >tale road to his home when he came across the poor fellow all agog over being held up and robbed of forty five dollars and his car out of com mission. The good Samaritan hur riedly patched up his machine and hastened hack to St. Matthews to report; with the victim coming on behind, as he thought. The sheriff and chief of police were notified. They, in turn warned all the sleepers in Columbia to be on the alert and the scenes of the tableau were de picted in The State for the early morning edition. The local officers, in the meantime, hurried up the road and found the poor fellow by the road-side, with his car ditched and coiled up in it, drunk as a "coot," and with fifty dollars in his pocket.? Calhoun Times. Heavy Fire Loss At Marion. Marion, Aug. 7. ? Marion's largest fire occurred last night when the planing mill, the box mill and the dress lumber shed of the Camp Manu facturing Company burned to the ground. The loss is .estimated be tween $250,000 and $300,000. There were around two million feet of dressed lumber in the shed that is now only a glowing heap of ashes. Two carloads of tobacco hogsheads on the siding ready for shipment and four or five empty freight cars were burned up. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN BUSINESS MEN THOUGHT THEY COULD NOT HAVE ANY PRINTING DONE UNTIL THEY HAD "SHOPPED" AROUND AND GOT THE CHEAPEST PRICE. DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS BUSINESS MEN HAVE LEARN ED THAT PRINTING IS LIKE OTHER THINGS. YOU WILL FIND ALL GRADES. YOU WILL ALSO FIND PRINTERS WHO USE CHEAP PAPER IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY UNDERBID THE OTHER FELLOW. THERE IS GOOD PRINTING AND THERE IS BAD PRINTING. THE CUSTOMER USUALLY PAYS FOR WHAT HE GETS. THE CHRONICLE HAS NEVER PROFESSED TO RUN A CHEAP PRINTING GOFFICE. WE PREFER TO GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS THE BEST IN PAPER; THE BEST IN INKS, ESPECIALLY MADE I OR EACH INDIVIDUAL CLASS OF WORK; AND THE BEST IN PRESSM ANSHIP. OUR JOB PRINTING DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO GROW, AND THE F ACT THAT THE MAJORITY OF .OUR CUSTOMERS NEVER ASK US I OR A PRICE INDICATES THAT OUR WORK AND FAIR DEALING HAS WON THEIR CONFIDENCE. OUR GREATEST EFFORT IS TO CONTINUE TO WIN THEIR CONFIDENCE BY TURNING OUT FIRST-CLASS WORK AT A LEGITIMATE PRICE. The Camden Chronicle V
