I lie holes, which have only one entrance. are dug out of the sandy rldim by the crocodiles, and always face Inland and away from the prevailing wind from the sea. This fact precludes any attempt to smoke thein out\ and necessitates .dinning operations. This latter is not dtffluult, owing lo the! sandy nature of the Soil. I he usual course followed Is: A party of two or three natives with shovels are sent on ahead to mark down u hole showing fresh tracks ut the entrance, which they start to dig. Ihe huropeans follow on horses later, arid arrive when the digging operations are well advanced. A double-barreled shotgun with No. 1 shot Is usually employed. The Sportsmen take up a position on top of the sandy ridge above the entrance to the hole. ? As the diggers get further down, the inmute can be heard moving uneasily. The excitement is intense, and the native diggers pause after each stroke of the shovel to listen to the reptile's movements. Suddenly our friend down the hole, decides to bolt, and with a loud rattle chafges out of the hole, the diggers, meanwhile flinging themselves upon the ridge to each side of the guns, and with astonishing rnpidity, In so clumsy a brute, it is half-way across the mud bottom before the guns open fire.

The United States Public Health Service estimates that adequate rural health nursing service would cosl $20,OUU,000 annually, but would save u billion dollars In vulue pt human life, earning power, aud economic con servation. The America^ Red Cross through its Public Health Nurses, ol whom there were nearly 800 on duty the past year, is doing its part in meeting this requirement. The Red Cross, through its nutrition Service, taught thousands what to eat for health. In this country, 24 States were served with from one tc ten Red Cross Chapter nutrition programs in each State. In 38 States, nutrition instruction was given either through the regular nutrition instruc tors or through volunteer dietitians During the school year an average of 3 6,413 individuals a month, includ ing parents, teachers, preschool, and school children, were assisted to a better knowledge of food in its rela tlon to health, and bow to apply it to their daily Uvea. In March, 111,219 Individuals received this Instruction, while during the year 3,588 clasSoe were conducted and 6,450 conferences and home visits were given by nutritionists, thus reaching thousands of individuals.

Charlotte, N. C\, Oct. 18.?Alonzo Seabrouk, of Charleston, federal prohibition agent, who last week was acquitted by a jury in United States District Courtf at Charleston on .t charge of accepting bribes, will be restored to duty as soon as a forin^k OJ'der comes from Washington, Bet C. Sharp*, administrator for the Carolinas, and Gcorgiu, said today. He aaid he had recommended the reinstatement of Seabrook. Seabrook was arrested last September in u raid conducted by prohibition officers and deputy United States marshals, under the direction of M. O. Dunning, prohibition coordinator for Georgia and the Carolina*, without the knowledge of Mr. Shurpe. lie was charged with accepting "protection" money from moonshiners and bootleggers. Law Enforcement A Farce. Commenting on the Seabrook case the Waltorboro Press and Standard, published not far from the Hell Hole section, says: "The trial of Alonzo B. Seabrook, federal prohibition agent, last week, charged with accepting bribes for protection of the bootleg industry in Berkeley county, resulted in a verdict of "not guilty." This verdict was given by the jury in spite of the fact that marked money had been found in Seabrook's safe in his home und of testimony as to how he had accepted bribes for protection of violators of the prohibition law. Even though the jury acquitted Seabrook, it will be a long time before many people who heard the trial or read of it in the newspapers, will believe anything except that he is guilty. "Supposing that Se&brook did not accept money as a bribe to give protection, as he contended in his defense the fact remains that the biggest illicit business done in the South, of which We know, was permitted to run openly and in .flagrant violation of the law, unmolested in territory supposed to be under the control of this federal agent. Even gestures of enforcement were seldom made by the enforcement officers and the smell of this business was reaching far and wide. When ic came time to do something those who came to do the work were forced to work under cover and without the j knowledge of this officer and other officers whose sworn duty it was to enforce the law. If these strange of-j fleers could secure so much evidence, how much easier it would have been I for Seabrook to have obtained it? It! was common knowledge spoken openly that there was a graduated scale of| payment for protection that all the bootleggers in the Hell Hole section of Berkeley county were forced to pay in order to operate unmolested. These payments were alleged to have been made to all officers from the lowest to the highest, Mad with regularity, hying measured by thy gallon of liquor manufactured. What will by done with the others apprehended ut the sume time us Seuhrook ? Will they tod be while-washed hju| reinstated to continue the same kind of - mockery of enforcement Will juries believe that the liquor confiscated in the raids was ''placed there by enemies," and not to be taken as evidence of guilt? Perhaps the attor-( neys in these cases will not be able to i prove that it was uot liquor at all, and if it should prove to be when brought into the court, then they can rely upon an insinuation that it was placed there! after the jugs and fruil jars were placed in the custody of the officers. These are the verdicts thut tend to bring the work of the courts into dis-j repute in South Carolina, and give the mob seeming justification for taking the law into its own hands. The Aiken lynching, is another case in point ?law's delays und the uncertainty of the Imw'h ever doing anything?where the mob decided thut it would be better to end the farce of a trial and administer its own crude ideas of justice ?committing another equally great crime. "The Press and Standard is not so much concerned over the escape of Seabrook?his acquittal is merely un incident. What we do see as a serious consequence of these trials is the breaking down of law and the utter disregard of the rights of others on the part of those who are venal or criminally inclined. If Seabrook was really innocent The Press and Standard would not have hud him punished, but it is hard to conceive of an innocent man's having been the victim of such circumstances and such a chai'i of evidence. McKuight was condemned and his testimony decried as worthless by the shrewd attorneys of the defense. What about the testirttony of an officer who would accept a bribe? ; Could he be believed any more quickly than McKnight? Can Seabrook justify convictions he has secured in times past on similar testimony? Did Seabrook manufacture the testimony used in getting convictions, in cases he had worked up? Is any testimony secured by any detective worth anything. But why pursue this chain ofi reasoning further? The facts are that the jury turned him loose. He has been exonerated of the charges made against him and is free to accept employment again in the same capacity. Doubtless others incriminated at the' same time and in the same manner will also come clear, and we shall have liquor flowing freely and' more homicides committed in the Hell Hole section of Berkeley county and elsewhere in South Carolina. "Meanwhile good citizens should ponder on these happenings and try to decide whither we are drifting."

Turkeys will be fairly abundant on the Lancaster market before the dawn of Thanksgiving l>?y, in the opinion of dealers who say those that already have the birds for sale have been engaging them for delivery. While the market will probably not bo glutted, no scarcity is anticipated and the indications are that the noble hiril will grace the boards of many Lancaster homes November 25. Price? are yet unquoted though dealers believe that turkeys will bring about the n figure commanded last year. The sea-\ ' son has been a fairly favorable .one for turkeys and many farmers who care for small flocks in connection ; '& with their other work, will probably iL have little difficulty in disposing of their stock. The turkey is always thor piece de resisance of the Thanksgiving dinner and usually sells readily in Lancaster. One dealer said he expec ted to buy most of his turkeys for the Thanksgiving season from La&a , iwjPI caster and Kershaw county growers.? ^^8 Lancaster News. John Skelton Williams Dead. ?
