ALFOCORN MILK MAKER the pcivrfcr ouav rum Sold By STOKES-EVANS CO. Camden, S. C. M ' mm) , INDICTED EXAMINER IS OCT (iinrrnor I'uIh Albert S. Fant in I'lace of W. W. Bradley. <By John K. Aull, C hronicle Correspondent.) Columbia, Oet. 4.?W. W. Bradley, fttate bank examiner, will be succeeded on Thursday by Albert S. Fant, now senior associate State bank examiner. Mr. Bradley's term expires on Thursday. He was first appointed by Governor Cooper on May 16, 1922, to fill out the unexpired term of Jns, K. Craig, resigned. On October 7, 1922, he was appointed by Governor Harvey for the full term of four years. At the recent session of the .Richland county grain! jury true bills were returned against him on two indictments, both in connection with the affairs of the deceased American Bank and Trust Company, of Columbia, one of the indictments charging malfeasance in office and the other, conspiracy with J. Pope Matthews, then chairman of the board of directors of the bank, and Ivy M. Mauldin, then president of the bank, to commit J certain acts specified in the bills of indictment which are alleged to have been in violawhi of the criminal laws of the State with regard to banking. ! The appointment of the State bank examiner is made by the governor. He may advise with the executive committee of the S?ate Bankers Association, under the terms of the Act. Exactly what this provision was incorporated in the Act for, no one has ever been able to explain?for it does not require a provision of law to permit one to advise with some one else. Hjut it is there. It is stated that Mr. Fant was recommended "by an overwhelming majority of the bankers of the State, by divers business men and others." He began his career as errand boy years ago for the old Bank of Anderson, and rose to cashier of one of its branches. He later cstab :? 1? ? I lished a connection with Geer Brothers, of Belton, and in 1913 engaged in the cotton and fertilizer business. In I April of 1920 he was made assistant , State bank examiner, and has continued with the bank examiner's offic? since, now being senior associate bank examiner,_ ?... He will tackle a hard job, but he : has training and ability. There are about 120 State banks that are closed and in process of liquidation, and the j statement is that 98 of these are be-j ing liquidated under the sole super vision^jif the bank examiner's office. ; Mr. Fant says he is going to ask the courts to name receivers for these 98 banks, and that he intends to "mobilize all the resources of the department to. a strict supervision of the active! | banks." Mr. Fant is now 40 years of age. At the end of his first four-year term 'be will be considerably more than fourj years older?for, in the state of the ; public mind, hardly anything less than! miracles will be expected of him. But j I he is live and energetic, and physically strong, and he knows the bank-! ! ing business from the ground up, and those who kfow him have every confidence that he will make good in the strenuous task to which he will set i himself. He goes in at a time when the farmers are despondent over the low price of cotton, and on the very day of the: special session of the State Bankers Association, called to devise means to aid in the handling of the crop. Not onlv as State hank examiner, but as one with intimate knowledge of { banking affairs and of conditions gen! orally in the State, he can he of in! valuable assistance along all lines of endeavor at this time. i _____ Trading rights of the Moravian j Church in Labrador have been sold .to ! the Hudson's Bay * Company.

American tourists traveling "for to admire and for to see," also to visit i dressmakers, milliners and get away from prohibition spent in France last year $226,160,000? a great deal of | money, and real money. It would be a pity if misunderstandings about debts that may never be paid should make Americans in France so uncomfortable as to cut off that yearly tribute to the French dressmaking M^iotaur. We want France to prosper, and it is pleasant to have Americana leaving hundreds of millions in France, bringing information. SHOOT TO KILL.

This ' earnest, ~sincere youth is, among other things, an excellent horseman, a good sportsman, and was an infant prodigy. He was carried each night to a tent in his sleep. As i he dreamt, so his friends say, "tha Master" appeared and gave him instructions. At the age of twelve, he wrote his hook, "At the Feet of the Master." Thgt does not necessarily mean Divine inspiration. Consider little Christian Heinrich Heinecken, who died in 1725, "before he was five years of age. He was able to converse plainly at ten months. When one year old, he knew by heart the most important parts of the Pentateuch. At two years of age he had mastered sacred history, at three he was thoroughly acquainted with history and geography, ancient and modern, sacred and profane, and spoke French and I^tin. He devoted himself to religious stwiy iu his fourth year, and to church history. And this is no "yarn" but historical facts.

C., Oct, 2.*?A quiet, motherly woman, friendly and genial by nature but apparently a little .wearied by nearly six years of anxiety and suspense, here this afternoon reavowed unswerving faith in the innocence of her husband, from whom prison bars separated?. her eariy in 1921. The husband, Edmund I>. Bigham, twice tried and twice sentenced to death for the alleged murder of his brother, Smiley, and charged with the death of four other members of the Bigham household ajt the old family plantation in Florence county January *15, 1921, is in the Florence county jail awaiting the outcome of a bitter legal battle now turning into its sixth year, "My husband is innocent," declared Mrs. Jligham. "I have stood by him this far, because I know he is. not guilty of the horrible crime he is charged with. And I will stick to hiui to the end." Mrs. Bigham lived near here with her father, T. A. James, who is now very ill at the home of a son in Taylors, for p little over four years after the tragedy. A year ago last June she moved to' the home of M. E. Hudson, local merchant and cousin of her husband, and has cared for his children during the illnefcs of Mrs. Hudson. A daughter, Evelyn ifigham, 13, lives with Mrs. Bigham here and attends the local high school. Another daughter, Louise; 19, is in training at the Biltmore hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Bigham were married 21 years ago, she said to^ay, and lived until the date of the 'quintuple, homicide at the Bigham homestead. "Yes, I signed the statement," Mrs. Bigham declared when she was questioned concerning the affidavit presented by L. King, attorney for Edmund Bigham, at a hearing before i Judge*" X. W. Devore in Conway Wednesday, and upon the grounds of which Judge Devore granted a continuance of the noted case. The case was docketed for trial the following day in Horry county court of general sessions. The affidavit declared thai Mrs, Bigham was in.a delicate state of health and could not attend the trial without jeopardy to her unborn child. j "I was not feeling well when Mr. King came," continued Mrs. Bigham, | adding that she was still feeling rather ill. She said that she was suffering from a cold. The wife of the man who has been in the shadow of the electric chair the greater part of some five years since his first, conviction was reticent in discussing the case. * "Tdt^ much has been said already," she exclaimed. "1 have been talked about so mqch until I have decided to let the people go on and say what they want to. They will have to answer for their own deeds and I for mine." When asked about the reputed "bloody necklace" incident, Mrs. Bigham quickly replied. "I know nothing about it. I know .1 don't have it." r She said that if she had attended ' the trial that was set for the Horry | term of court, she would have testified just as she had. in former trials? in behalf of her husband. \ Child Killed Going to Circus.
