HICKMAN GREATLY HATED
By Prisoners in Los Angeles Jail;
Photo Hung in Effigy
Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 7.?Manifest
ill feeling toward William E. j
Hickman among prisoners in the
county jail prompted jailers today
to keep the confessed slayer of
Marian Parker constantly behind
barred cell doors.
Mutterings in prisoners' row
reached a climax when a photograph
of Hickman was suspended from the
accused youth's cell door by a' string.
The head of the photograph had been
cut around and a stout cord tied about
the neck with a hangman's knot.
Jailers did not attempt to conceal
their apprehension for Hickman's
safety and plans were in consideration
for placing heavier guards about
his cell. Prisoners in tank 16, near
the tier where Hickman is _confined
were responsible for the "hanging"
of the photograph.
Some of the same prisoners, it J
was revealed today, recently fashioned
clubs from broom handles and
were holding them in readiness when,
the improvised weapons were discovered.
Jail guards said their intended
victim was Hickman.
The accused youth has shown great
fear the last few days, jailers said,
of his fellow prisoners who glare at
him whenever opportunity affords.
Defense preparations fojt-^Hickman's
sanity trial January 25 were
at a standstill locally here today
while Jerome Walshchief -of counsel
was enroute to the middle west
to obtain depositions in support of
Hickman's plea that he was insane
at the time of the kidnaping and
murder. Young Jlickman' formerly
lived in Kansas ^City and Hartford,
Ark.'

LONG TRIP IN BOAT
Sixty-Eight Year Old M an Pub*
Into Georgetown To Dock.
Georgetown, Jan. 9.?Charles
Selitz, a 68-year-old veteran of the
seas, arrived in this port this after;
noon after completing an eight-hundred
mile trip in this tiny row boat.
Njyr York to Miami is his slogan and
die asserts that before February has
slipped away his boat will be safely
tied t6 the dock in the Florida city.
Starting from New York October
23, with the firm determination to
win the title, the champion rower
of the world, Capt. Seilitz headed
his little craft South, and then his
adventure began. His boat was nearly
swamped on several occasions.
Once his supplies were 6wept overboard,
and during the recent cold
spell he came "within an ace" of
freezing. The captain would row
during the day and wheh night came
would anchor his boat and make for
.shelter. ' Tfais is whenever he could
locate a habitation.
When asked the purpose of his
trip, Sell its said that he was looking
for no prize or award, but was
merely proving that such a journey
could be made by row boat, ainglehanded.
"I have already broken- all
previous records," he declared.
. Capt. Seilitz asserts that age
makes no difference land that he
feels no older' than he did at forty.
And judging by appearance, the champion
rower is correct.

BAN QN OVERDRAFTS'
VUU Dunk Examiner Will Try To
Stop Misuse of Bank FumIh.
Columbia, Jan. .7?Overdrawingone'#
bank account will' become a
lout art in South Carolina by the
end of 1928 if Albert S. Fant, statu
bank examiner, has his way in the
matter. He aaid yesterday that perhaps
"the greatest evil habit practiced
by banks today is that of allowing
customers to overdraw their accounts,
thereby creating overdrafts."
There is no legittmat* excuse for
a banker to allow a few privileged
customers to overdraw their accounts,
according to Mr. Fant, nor
is there any good reason why this
"so-called privileged class should
expect special favors when they
have no funds on deposit in the
bank with which to protect their
checks."
With bankers co-operating witn
him, Mr. Fant hopes to be able to stop
the practice?he intends, so far a9
he is able, to whip it out entirely.
Mr. Fant said that in its efforts
to elimipute the practice, his office
would have behind it a decision of
the United States supreme court.
This decision, in the case of Minor
et al. vs. Mechanics bank of Alexandria,
1928, is by Justice Story and
is as follows:
"It is a usage to allow customers
to overdraw?and to have their
checks and notes charged up, without
present funds in the bank; stripped
of all technical disguise?-the
usage and practi.ee to misapply the
funds of the bank; and to connive at
the withdrawal of the same without
any security, in favor of certain
privileged persons. Such a usage
gnd'practice, is surely a manifest departure
from the duty, both of the
directors and the cashier, and cannot
receive any countenance in a court |
of justipe. It could not be supported
by any vote of the directors, however'
formal and therefore, whenever done
by> the cashier, is at his own peril
and upon the responsibility of himself
and his sureties."
The First Baptist church at Sumter
was damaged $5,000 by a fire on
New Year's day which was started by
sparks from the furnace.
.Spartanburg' now claims 32,600
population by virtue of the estimates
of a newspaper service made for its
chamber of commerce. This is an increase
of 44 per cent over the federal
census ai 1920. ?
