Y To m in it Wheeler to State Hospital Maiming, March 17.??The (/lareiiI <lon county court, which convened iu I Manning Monday, Judge M. M. Munn I presiding and Solicitor Frank Mcl,eod representing the state, has already disposed of a number of cases, i the majority being for violation of the prohibition law. The case of J. P. Wheeler and Harold Wheeler, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, which was H granted a'change of venue from Williamsburg to Clarendon county at the Kings-tree court, was decided yesterday, committing them to the state hospital for thirty days. Harold Wheeler was accused of placing cross-ties on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad tracks a mile north of Cades last November, nearly causing the wreck of a passenger train. While under arrest by Sheriff Gamble, Wheeler shot the sheriff in .B the face, inflicting a severe wound. <'.B Wheeler escaped to Savannah, Ga., and later was arrested and brought back to South Carolina. The trial of T. M. Mouzon, cashier of the defunct Hank of Manning, on charges of B breach of trust with fraudulent inV tent, started Tuesday and is still in B progress. Three Confess To Murder Macon, Ga., March 29.?Placed on I he very spot where E. B. Hogan, B cotton broker, was shot and killed on B March 16, three men, all escaped convicts from Florida, who were brought g tu Macon yesterday from Knoxville, Tenn., confessed, according to offiI cers, that they were the ones who killed Hogifcfir~ " * ? The men were Jack Kenton, alias I Kelly, of Toledo, Ohio; Bradley Mcintosh, alias George Hall, of Newbern, N. C., ftnd Bernard Shrayer, of New York and Boston. Previously they had maintained their innocence I - of the murder charge, but admitted that they had stolen a number of H automobiles after escaping from a B Florida chaingang some thirty miles B south of Tallahassee on March 15, the B day before Hogan was killed. B The confession came slowly, and in B slightly different versions. First, B each man gave, his story of the afB fair, voluntarily, before A. Emmett B Barnes, official court reporter, and in B the presence of officers and a number of witnesses. Coincident with these confessions B announcement was made that Mrs! B Eva Tanner, companion of Mr. Hogan on the fatal ride through the lonely road in Oreco Heights, was released from the Ribb county jail, where she bad been held for nine days. REGULAR SAVING ESSENTIAL i_ ^ | Building and Loan Slock Offers Sure ,, Way Toward Independence v Life with its muny trials and tribillations, with its worries and hardihipu, would be a fearful thing" were we each confronted with the irrevocable necessity of always remaining in T >ur present state. There is hardly a young man or woman who would !M* satisfied to continue the balance if life plodding through a bare existence. a "Hope springs eternal in the human breast" and we are all persistently hoping, ever expecting, that things will change?that a better life is just around the corner. Hut honestly, how far away is that change? How long shall our noses remain at the grindstone? It is probably safe to say that the condition will remain just us long as we as individuals fail to install some systematic, periodic, careful type of suv- < ?ii? uuu atvuinuiutiuli, Spasmodic, occasional saving, practiced only when the coffers are full, does not suffice. The slightest distraction or tempting luxury, support ed and encouraged by a heavy living expense, will blow "spasmodic thrift into smithereens." It seems strange, but the most frugal of us need the restraining touch and urge to successfully accumulate. One of the most valuable influences of the day toward systematic saving is the building and loan association. It has occasionally been criticised for its most valuable asset ?its slight compulsion. Practically all building and loan associations permit withdrawals, and there ure none that will not gladly comply in cases of extreme emergencies, yet the slight urge without penalty?the partially binding nature of the building and loan association?is its one most valuable means of building estates and of encouraging systematic thrift. Building and loan associations, long since accepted for their service in lending and building, have a still greater service to offer?a service comparatively unappreciated. They offer the young man or woman of moderate means opportunity to save safely, wisely, co-operatively, systematically, and they furnish just that urge that is needed for stressful ( saving. Incidentally the income resulting, the utility of the saving i amassed, and the convertibility and \ marketability offered by the building 1 and loan associations are excellent, j It would be difficult to find a better investment. , < Every community in our common- ' wealth should for the cake of its own ' stability, have a building, and loan \ association, and we as citizens, with ] a view to encouraging systematic * thrift, should never lose an oppor- | tunity to support the building and j loan idea. , " ( Mouzon Gets Pen Sentence } Manning, March 23.?T.
