His body was carried to ' Union County and the funeral was conducted the next day at the Put- ] nam Baptist church by Pastor T. D. To'er of the West Side Baptist f church where Rev. Hill was a mem- * ber for a number of years. Rev. , Toler was assisted by a number of ] other pastors. The great crowd, and 1 the large number of floral tributes ' gave evidence of the high esteem in \ which he was held. Many beautiful \ floral designs were received too late j for the funeral, as it was Mr. Hill's j request that his body should not be , embalmed, so it made a hasty burial 1 necessary. In the passing of Rev. < Hill, tju? ministry of South Carolina ( has lost a man who was faithful in , the proclamation of the great doc- < trines of grace and a man who has > had many years of successful work both as a pastor and, evangelist.? j Lancaster News. < : J* ^ Patient Jumped From Window j Believed to have been seized with a f sudden fit of insanity, D.

V SEIZURE OF AUTOS UPHELD Can Ik? Forfeited by Government, Says Supreme Court Washington, Nov. 22.?Automobiles seized while engaged in the unlawful transportation of intoxicating liquor may be forfeited by the government, whether they are being operated by their owners or someone else, the supreme court ruled toduy in deciding a case from Alubamu involving one Ford coupe. I hen* was sharp division in the court, over the question whether the old internal revenue laws imposing taxes on the manufacture and sale of liquor were in effect. Justices McReynolds, Sutherland and Butler joined in a vigorous dissent, contending that the manufacture and sale of liquor for beverage purposes had been prohibited by the 18th amendment and that the old revenue laws taxing the manufacture and sale of beverages had been inferentially repealed by the prohibition law. 1 he importance of the issue rose (mt of the assertion of the right of m innocent owner to recover an automobile seized while being used to unlawfully transport liquor. Manufacturers and automobile sales agents were interested in the case. The coupe was being sold on the installment plan by the Garth Motor company, which claimed the right to recover it upon the showing of ownership and unauthorized use in liquor transportation. Warren Griffen, 15-year-old lad of Oscar, Ky., has been declared by examining physicians for the international livestock exposition at Chicago, the healthiest boy in America. Jeannette Rushing, Sunflower county, Miss., and Alberta Hoppe of Linn county, Iowa, divided honors*as being the healthiest girls in the country. A college student has devised a scheme for using the automatic windshield wiper on his automobile for breaking in a*new pipe. MASTER'S SALE State of .South Carolina, County of Kershaw.
