precludes any attempt to smoke thein

This latter is not dtffluult, owing

Ihe huropeans follow on horses later,
arid arrive when the digging operations
are well advanced.
A double-barreled shotgun with No.

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

and with a loud rattle chafges out

Flying Upside Down
There is no theoretical reason why
an airplane should not fly upside
down Indefinitely.'There must be sufficient
power to counteract the'Inefficiency
of the wing In such flying, the
aviator must be physically capable of
withstanding a flow of blood t,o the
head, and the engine must somehow
be supplied with fuel even though the
carburetor is high above the main gas
tanks. By the simple expedient of
placing a turtk of gasoline well below
the fuselage on an Avro training
plane, according to the Scientific
.American, G. F. Van Damme of the
.Belgian army has flown upside down
for the record time of 2 minutes and

through its Public Health Nurses, ol

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

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

their daily Uvea. In March, 111,219
Individuals received this Instruction,
while during the year 3,588 clasSoe
were conducted and 6,450 conferences

thus reaching thousands of
individuals.

Ah 1'ruhibitiun Ofliceir in South Carolina,
Alter Ilia Acquittal.
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 Plentiful.
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
