NUMBER 1. : 1 ' '* ' - - ijj, . L-IJJMB!? 0IGHAM REFUSED CHANGE Attorney^ WU1 Now Auk Governor For Special Term For Horry (From Wethkesday'a Florence News} Review) Promptly jtX 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning Judge J. T. Mauldin, sitting ut the spring term of criminal court hero, announced that he was prepared to hear the motion in the change of venuo for Edmund Bigham, Florence county man, whoso second conviction by jury in4 Horry county was recently reversod by the suprome court of thts state. A. L. King led off for Bigham and wuxed warm in his argument that his client's interests-had been prejudiced beyond repair by certain articles appearing in the Horry Herald, of Conway, and The Morning News Review, of this city: that certain artycles headed "The Last of the Bighams" and written by J. A. Zeigler of the News Review brought up the entire history of this family and had created the impression in Horry county that all of the Bighams were bloodthirsty people and that the defendant was a monster in crime, bathod with the blood .of many murders." Duo to this publicity Edmund Bigham could not get a fairj '.rial in Horry county. He started into a long review of the case, but! was halted by Judge Mauldin and urged to stick to the motion now hpfore the court. He presented twelve affidavits from Horry county along sumo argument. ^ Mr. King dwelt at length upon cer-, tain questions propounded to the de-! fendant at tho Conway trial which! he claimed had been widely circulated ; and had so prejudiced the people oi j that county that it would be next to; impossible for any evidence they might present to outweigh this prejudice. Phillip H. Arrowsmith answered for tho state and took this opportunity to present all the questions leading up to the much mooted indirect testimony that the supreme ( court had so severely censured him upon, and that was now being argued as cause for change of venue. Mr. Arrowsmith clearly stated his reasons for attacking the character of Kdmund for "hadn't the defense counsel attempted to clothe the defendant with the apparel of a sheep,'' while Smiley was forced to masquerade In tho garb of a wolf. "There sat the defendant,' declared Mr. Arrowsmith, "content and confident, hiding behind the overwhelming personality and the mag nificent abiHty of Former Judge Mendel L. Smith. There lay Smiley a j>rey to the worms that devour deaJ * mens' bones." "Didn't Edmund first swear that his brother was so violent that ho had to pack up and leave homo in this way bolstering up his own record of 'peace at any price. "Then it was, and not until then, Mr. Arrowsmith continued, ' did 1 propound tho question: T)idn t >ou drive that nail in that man s head . Didn'$> you kill a man in Georgia, etc.' I would have been recreant i.. my duty to the state had I not asked J these questions after the defendant j himself had let down the gates. Fur-j ther than that Sheriff Burch who in-J vestigated' the killing of that nog. o near Pamplico told mc that He had I tracked a horse directly from .hi dead body to the house in which Ed- j mund then lived." The newspapers j carried full particulars of the visits j of the Georgia relatives of the man, who was convicted by a Georgia court ^ aiuJPwho claimed thai Edmunds (0T1 | r.-ssion would relieve him a.: .n.mi i n-, man from a life sentence in a Goo.g.a, prison. This was the infotmntiun up-j on which I ask.d th tvv - quest, n-., >r^which I was r.v. izid by tnr prrrre court." M . A -r-v. - . a"' r.d? . buce r.e ha'* rcc,av.u a hi jr..:'.

Solicitor G&9quo made no argument depending upon as he says the able argpment of his assistant in this hard fought case. Mendel L. Smith of Camden closed for the defense, taking the judge hurriedly through a review of the tragedy, when upon a cold January afternoon five and a quarter years ago five members of the Bigham family were killed; through the quick trial and conviction and tho sentence to die 11 days thereafter; of the 8 times it' had been before the supreme courtj; of Judge John S. Wilson finally deciding that the matter of a certain suicide note should be left to a jury to decide; of the introduction of 'certain highly prejudicial questions at the trial there |vhich so influenced that packed court room | that the defense would be placed at, a disadvantage in trying to overcome I, I I Mr. Smith was never more eloquent! I and plead for two hours that his j ! client be given his right in anothev' county. "There is sdmething in this case struggling against a great judicial wrong. This is, a strange case1 of contrast, there is bitter for every [sweet, a smile for every frown, a; right for every wrong," declared Mr. \ [ Smith. Mr. Smith touched on the news- j paper publicity given tho case,-declaring that Editor W. H. Woodward) of the Horry Herald had through an j editorial headed "Horry doesn't wand Bigham Case," ending, "it is not ourj duty to dispose of him." had so ar-i rived ut a conclusion at once damag-j ing to Edmund Bigham and preclud- j ing any possibility of his ever getting an impartial trial in that county, fair and honest as ho believed tho Horry folks to be. Mr. Smith declared "it was Bigham's sacred right to ask for a change of venue and he hoped the court would grant it." Judge Mauldin asked for time to study the case, reserving his decision until later in tho week. ??? ? i Judge Mauldin Refuses Change Florence,-March 31.?Their motion for a change of vonue denied, A. L. King and Mendel L. Smith, attorneys for Edmund S. Bigham, stated this afternoon that they would appeal to Governor McI>eod to order a special term of court in Horry county at an early date. The order lcfusing^^. change of venue, from Horry county was sent this afternoon by the clerk of court of Florence county to the clerk of court of Horry.county on the, order of Judge T. J. Mauldin, before whom the motion was argued. When news that his appeal tor a ( change of venue had betn denied was taken to Bigham in the county jail here by Mr. King, the prisoner received it calmly. ^ j - "Hurry thc-m up.

Shaffer, of Waltovboro, state chairman conservation of natural resources, has addrossod the following letter to the Federated clubs of South Carolina: "As chairman of conservation of natural resources I ask that you havo your club pass resolution to encourage the protection, of wild, flower# in South Carolina. There can be no question as to the need for such protection and the thing can best bo accomplished by molding public sentiment and later laws will be passcid that will give expression to this sentiment and that will bo obeyed. . "The protection of wild flowers in South Carolina is far more than a mere matter of sentiment or an esthetic gesture. It is an important factor in the material development of our state. Florida has* featured her tropical flora und sold it to the world. The, spring glory of the Carolina forest is our rare and priceless asset. Where this natural beauty has been conserved and advertised qa at SuminCrville and at Middleton and Magnolia Gardens its fame has grown world wide. If properly protected the loveliness of the Carolina forests will render our state the spring playground of the nation during March, April and May. And the world, lured by our natural beauty and discovering our latent resources, we will enter upon an era of unsurpassed prosperity. . , "Just now is the season when the woods are beginning to be mantled with the glory of the Cherokee rose, wild nzelea, dogwood, Judas tree, and, everywhere, our own lovely state; floweC, the yellow jessamine. Everyone who owns a car now revels in! this riot of spring wild flowers. But ( if every car stops to take home these | delicate forest blossoms our heritage j of beauty will soon be but a memory.' Wild flowers,"apart from their environment, lose their charm. Theyj were never intended to be pot plants i or pi^lor ornaments. Remember j there are no gardeners in the forests' to carefully tend and propagate them. The only method by which they can survive is by reseeding themselves. If they are mercilessly broken and torn and exposed to destructive fires they must soon cease to brighten our woods with their cheerful faces. j "So resist that perfectly natural desire to pick wild flowers every time you drive through'the country. If you enjoy them, spare them and so share your joy with your fellow men, now and in springs to come. "Write articles for your local papers, determine on a uniform notice urging flower protection to be placed along the highways, do everything to make our people more thoughtful for the protection .of those woodlands which are our common gardens."
