The sheriff of Greenville county sent the eighteen magistrates in that county the names of thirty persons without visible means of support and | refusing to work and asked the magistrate to run them out of the county. There has tjpen much lawlessness there in 1928. By raising $60,000 subscriptions to preferred stock, Gaffney gets a proposed rayon mill to be built aad operated by W. T. Hadfield and S. Stutz, of New York state. The building is to be 08 by 200 feet, Mr. Hadfield in speeches and conversation tot Gaffney said the rayon industry is now in worse condition than at any time in its history, but he believes the depression will be temporary. A carnival company at Greenville was burned out Tuesday morning, and with it the warehouse in which some of its property was placed. The show lost four railroad sleeping cars, two automobiles, nine wagons, a eaterpiL lar tractor, a merry-go-round and ! other equipment. The forty people of the show escaped from the Cars, but lost their personal property. Water pressure was too low for the city fire department to extinguish the fire. A bucket brigade of show people kept it from adjoining warehouses. The funeral of Capt. Harrison Patillo Griffith, of Gaffney, was held ' Wednesday in the chapel of Limestone college of which he was president emeritus and for many years professor of English. He was the author of' several books and at the end of the last century was for some time editor of the Gaffney Ledger. I He died Tuesday aged 91 years. 1 MissjjrCeleste J.

Home*Jr., president of the South Carolifljk Agricultural Credit company, aud Miss Beulah H. Harvey, secretary and treasurer of the South Carolina Agricultural Credit company, were yesterday declared guilty in federal court of conspiracy to violate section 37 of the criminal code in submitting false financial statements to the Federal Intermediate Credit bank for the purpose of obtaining money and of influencing the credit bank. The jury deliberated only a little more than three hoprs although the court was actually in session on the case 82 days. Sentence will be imposed ,in the federal court room at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning by Judge Ernest F. Cochran. Norris P. Bryan, vice president of the Truckers' Supply company; H. B. Macklin, director of the Truckers' Supply company and a commission merchant of Beverly, N. J.; Harry Bowers, who was employed in a clerical capacity by the Credit company, and W. R. Eve, Jr., treasurer and general manager of the Seaboard Farms of Ambrose, Ga., were found not guilty of the charge. Section 211-B of the' laws, rules and regulations of tihe farm loan board includes the provisions violated, according to the indictment, and reads as follows: "Whoever makes any statement, knowing it to be false, for the jA4pose of obtaining for himself oft for any-person, firm, corporation or association any advance fir extension *H>r renewals of an advance or any Release or substitution of security-from such bank, or for the purpose of Influencing in any other way the action of such Bank, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than fjve years, or both." The verdict of the jury, signed by H. W. Fuseler of Charleston, foreman, was as follows: "We, the jury, find the defendants guilt as to W. E. Richardson, R. C. Home, Jr., Heulah B. Harvey with recommendation to the mercy of the court and not guilty as to'N. P. Bryan, Ii. B. MaCklin, H. Bovvers and W. R. Eve, Jr.*o Judge Cochran began his charge to the jury at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon but court adjourned at 5:30 and the charge was continued yesterday morning and was completed at 2:15 yesterday afternoon. The jury began its deliberations at 3:15. Attorneys in the- case for the defense were: Mendel L. Smith of Camden and R. A. Moore of Douglas, Ga., for Macklin and Eve; Robert J. Travis of Savannah, Ga., for Home; Edgar A'. Browit Of Barnwell for Richardson, Miss Harvey and Bowers, and AJfc?4 Huger of Charleston for Bryan. The prosecution was represened by District Attorney J. D. E. Meyer and Louis M. Shimel, assistant district attorney. - s il' The case grew put of the failures of the Beauford bank, which closed it* doors July 10, 1926, and of the'South Carolina ^fricultural - Credit company, also of Beaufort. Shortly thereafter the United States government sent department of Justice^ investigators to examine L the loans made by the Federal Intermediate Credit bank of Columbia <mi certain financial statements and mortgages in that section and, as Investigators A. Donaldson and Clofford Cagle testified orvthe witness stand, found overdrafts on the account of the Ag ricultural Credit company In the Beaufort bank amounting to $1,111,310.53 and irregularitled in the amount of $1,(106,492.20. It is expected that after all settlements; are made that the Intermediate Credit bank will lose more than $600,000. The case came up for trial January 9 and, with the exception of about four hours lost on account of kickness of two jurors, has been- steadily grinding ever since. In addition to regular court hours, $ourt has Convened several mornings at 9:30 instead of at 10 o'clock and last Saturday a two hour and a..half hour afternoon session was held. Richardson spent four days or^ the witness stand, being subjected to examination and cross-examination, theother defendants being on the stand dniy one day apiece with the exception of Bdwers and Mis* Harvey, who teatiiy.

Ktdgeland, Feb. 4.?An American ea^le is in captivity at O'Keetie club ijjj* inilvb below Ridge land on tho coastal highway. This bird is trerpendous in size and measures seven feet from tip to tip. of its wings. He . teems .ver> .submissive and does sot attempt t<> fight and eats heartily his beef and chicken which his ke?|K*r feedp to him. A negro man went down in great swamp to h place known as Horse ( Island und when returning through j the swamp there stood this tremendous bird in his path. The old darkey said he was scared to go ( near it at first but he stood there so still and seemed to look at him as if he was in pain. So he finally walked up to him and quietly picked him up without even a flutter. His walk home was several miles but he fianlly got there with an American eagle hugged up in his arms. After he examined him and found his lej^t wing broken, he took him over to the club house and offered him to one of the club stewards, who would not accept the gift. He finally took him to the back where the old gardener, Alec Johnspn, was and he immediately took charge of the bird. He ate heartily from the first, and after two weeks seems to be doing fine. J. A. Coleman, who is superintendent for O'KeefJe club had a wire cage eight by ten built for him and he seems perfectly satisfied to be in captivity and his wing seems sound and well ug&iu, but as Old Alec said "I ain't try to see if he can fly for yet. 1 'fraid he might go for, aure." It seems almost against the nature of the fouls of the air that a bird full grown which had lived its life in the swamps free now seems satisfied to be kept in a cage and picked up by human hands . It causes wonder here if it is possible the bird escaped from some large circus or zoo. If the wing was broken by a shot it could not be told but just the same a living type of the U. S. bald eagle, which crowns silver dollars, is much at home in captivity in Jasper county.
