Luther Bishop, a state detective, who
was killed in his home at Oklahoma
City, Okla., early Sunday morning,
has been taken into custody in connection

HLAQUB TO HANG IN OFFICE
Geiuraal Walker Makea Gift To New
Governor of State
^Jolumbitt Record)
A hai)(f carved oaken wall plaque,
presented to Governor-elect John G.
Richards by General C. Irvine Walker
of Charleston, Aho was a colonel of
the 10th South Carolina regiment of
the Confederate army at the same
lime that Major Richards' father,
Rev John G. Richards, was chaplain
of the unit, will hang on the walls
of the governor's office in the state
house during the term of the new
l>ovcrnoi in office^ in accordance with
the wish which the veteran expressed
in making the presentment: "That it
will serve to keep alive in your memory
the supreme sacrifices your father
and his comrades made in the momentous
struggle for free government in
the Sixties."
1 he plaque itself . is about eight
inches square, and is a remarkably
well executed specimen of flat wood
carving. It is finished in the natural
wood color, and bears the relief of the
10th regiment's flag?rent by shells,
and battle scarred?as it appeared at
the close of the War Between the
States in 1866, In the upper corner
i? the state tree, a Palmetto, and in
the lower is the title: "Battle Flag
1861-6."
1 he father of the governor-elect
was made the chaplain of the 10th
regiment upon the outbreak 'of the
war, being a Presbyterian preacher
who was highly respected and esteemed
'by the members of the unit
at the time of its organization, and
he served in that capacity throughout
the war . with General Walker, who
was at that time a colonel. The two
were thus intimately associated in
those adverse days and there grew up
between them .? mutual regard, which
is still demonstrated in the gift of the
colonel to his comrade's son.
During the war, General Walker
served the South with distinction, and
since that time, his life has been e
record of devotion to the welfare of
his native state, particularly with regard
to the collection of matters of
historical interest and importance in
connection with the days of tho Sixties.
He was chairman of the commission
which erected the monument
to the women of the Confederacy on
the state house grounds, in which
office he was affiliated with the governor-elect.
" He explains that he has "too much
leisure for a man of active mind,"
andjjas taken up amateur flat wood
"cfhvmg for his own amusement. Nor1
does the quality of the execution ol
the carving betray any lapse in the
activity of the aged general's fingers,
and, quite to the contrary, only goes
to vouch for the remarkable faculties
of the distinguished Confederate, who
is now past 80 years of age.
Wreck on th'e Southern
Passenger train No.~113, Marion to.
Rock Hill, in charge of Conductor Albcrgotti,
with Engineer George Hapiinersly,

ithe second-class coach left*the rails
and overturned. The engine and the
firstadass ear^remained upright. One
man, Will Wilson, a negro, was-injured.

of spikes from the rails,on one
side and the loosening of spikes on
another rail. The track was torn up
for a distance of 250 feet or more*

Negro Boy Killed
The Rembert section was tl^e scene
of .another killing which occurred last
Sunday afternoon on the farm of Mr,
Tom Polk Sanders. It appears that
two negro boys, Alexander Thomas,
aged 9, and Edward Williams, aged
18, started playing together which
resulted in'roygfc play apd then to
fighting, when Thomas drew a cheap
knife from his pocket and stafcbe^
the other in the chest, the blade penetrating
the heart. The Williams boy
ran off a short distance and then fell
dead.
Coroner Scale was notified and held
an inquest Sunday night whfclr~*esulted
in a verdict that Edward Williams
came to his dsath from a knife
wound in the hands of ^taxandwr
Thomas. The boy wa* arrested and
lodged in jail to await the aiding of
the court of general sessionsy/ On account
of the age of the priswsr thero
is some speculation as to what will
be done with htm even if It can W
proved that the killing was A>m with
malic* aforethought.?<Sumte^ierald

Stole Money JKrom Foreign Missions
Board of Baptists
Richmond, V?.f D*c, mart* to
obtain the release from jail of George
N. Sanders, former treasurer of the
foreign mission* board of the Southern
Baptist convention, were expected
to be made today while officials
of the convention sought to diamine
the exact shortage in the bolt's accounts.
Sanders was arrested late yesterday
on a warrant charging the felonious
theft of $112,000. Court was not
in session and ho was remanded to I
jail.
The warrant was sworn out by Per-I
cy L. Tiller, detective-sergeant, after!
a conference between officials of the
mission board and Commonwealth's
Attorney Dave Satlerfield. .It charged
that "during six years past" San- I
ders, "did unlawfully and feloniously
steal, take and carry away United
States currency to the amount of $92,- 1
; 000, the money and property of the!
foreign mission board of the Southern
Baptist convention, a corporation ex- I
isting under the laws of the state of |
Virginia." j
I The convention will sustain a loss,!
the Rev. George W. McDaniel, president,
has said, despite whatever
amount is realized on Sanders' bond
of $25,000 as treasurer and property I
and equities in insurance valued at J
$30,000 which the former official has
made ovdr to the board. The Rev. Mr. r
McDaniel struck an optimistic note in
a statement made public last night. j
"The grave apprehension felt as to
the effect of the treasurer's defalca- J
tion upon the people at large is be-|
ing relieved by their assurance of j
faith in the foreign mission board |
and pledges of continued support," he J
said. j
"One layman has wired an extra j
.contribution of $1,000 accompanied by j
a letter of sympathy. A typical telegram
comes from The pastor of one
of our largest churches, saying: 4I re- j
affirm my faith in the foreign mis- j
sion board and pledge my co-operation j
to its program." j
Auditors now are engaged, m com- j
pleting their survey of the mission)
board's accounts.

more than, an hour later Mr. Tilghman
arrived1 at the; Florence Infirtnary
having been rushed here in a I
higb-.powered' automobile. He re- i
acted well to the blood transfusion
which was; given shortly after he
entered the hospital.
From what could be learned concerning
the details of . tjn accident
-Mri Tilghman war sittjng at the radio .
and apparently had not observed his
little son playing with a parlor rifle
belonging to a?t olcfer brother, ^either
was it known that the rifle was
loaded. Suddenly exclaiming, "Daddy,
I am going tf shoot you," according
to the information received here, the
little fellow polled the trigger. Mr.
Tilghman was seen to fall to the flgpr. t
Physicians were summoned and it .
was immediately determined that surgical
attention was nyessary.

LARGEST COTTON CROP
High Murk Reached in Production of
Fleecy Staple
Wash iag tori, Dec. 8. A tidal wave
of cotton has swept the South this
season and reached the high-water
murk for all time with a total of 9,809,000,000
pounds of, the foamy lint.
That total was the preliminary estiI
mate of production announced today
by the department of agriculture,
which made allowance for Home loss
of open cotton still standing, from
beating storms and for the tendency
of growers to leave low grade cotton
unpicked because of the low prices.
The crop reporting board estimated
production at 18,018,000 bales of 500
pounds gross weight, each containing
478.5 pounds of lint* with 21.5 pounds
of bagging and ties. The census
bureau reported that 14,044,000 running
bales had been ginned December i
first. .
The huge production, which cxoeeded
the previous record crop of 1014
by more than 1,100,000,000 pounds,
was the result of the largest acreage
ever plunted to cotton. For the belt
generally the weather of the season
favored the <jrop;^"fertilizer wjw used
freely and boll weevil damage was
surprisingly small. Abandonment of
acreage between June and December
was smaller than the average of the
last ten years and the yield was 83
pounds more than the ten year average,
it being estimated at 187 pounds
per acre.

the county of Greenwood against R.
A. Ellison, Mrs. Minnie L. Ellison and
the Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance
Company. The total charged

interest on $63,806.67, the exact
amount of the alleged shortage, from
July 1, 1925, the date on which he
went out of office to December 3, 1926

The fourteen-year-old son of Mr.
John T. Green of Horatio Crossroads,
was very badly wounded Wednesday
of last week ^while out hunting near
his home. He endeavored to cross a
pile of lumber when he stumbled arid
his gun fell from his hands and was
discharged, when it struck the lumber.,
wounding him in the chest and
neck. He was at once brought to the
Tuomey hospital late Wednesday afternoon
where it was found that the
shot ranged upward tearing away the
muscles of the chest afnd neck and exposing
one lung and a large, blood
vessel, but neither of them were 1fcnetrated.
The wounds are of a very
grtfve nature and at first there were
no hopes for his recovery. Later he
rallied and now has a fighting chance
for recovery.?iSymter Herald.
