SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS
Mr. UuU Harris, of Anderaon
county, and a negro named laawrencc
CLarksou were killed at Down*, when
their road conutruction truck was hit
by a Southern railroad pussengsr
train.
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. Miller, 82, who during
thd past fifty ye^rs or more has i
circled the globe 33 times, died in*
Arizona on Monday. Despite all of
her traveling she never spoke any
language but English and maintained
that the dollar spoke a universal,
language understood the world over/

of the Beaufort bank; K. C. 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

CA1TURBS CRBAT RAO IK
Cfcmt Bird UmA Win* 8pr?*d of
S?v?b Fc?t.
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.
