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

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

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.

highway commission, in a letter writ
ten Saturday to Cyrus L. Shealy,

increase would bring the gasoline tax
to more than live cents a gallon.
The letter was written in reply to
the icquest for .information on the
part of Mr. Shealy. who has. Mr.
Thomas said, been finding opposition
among his Lexington county constit
uents to the projected license fee. A

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.
"We are asking the Associated
Charities in various cities to put a
stop to the piaitice and, if necessary,
we shall appeal to the ?. ; v 1 2 auf)i<?ri

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.?

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.
