The judge said that the buyer of bootleg is "more culpable" than is the seller, a* without buyers there would be no selling. Judge Kaniage is quoted as saying that reckless driving on the highways is a greater evil than is violation of the prohibition laws, pointing to the recent death of W. B. Montgomery, Spartanburg milt mag* nate, as the result of carelessness on the part of the young people who caused the fatal wreck. The judge also added his opinion that there is now very much less drinking than there vvaty in pre-prohib?tion days. f.x?. n r-~r^~s ~-r" -jrT'?

HILTON, Chief of Police of Camden, S. gygri*ri - - - Again Operating Old Howie Gold Mine Monroe, N. C., Feb. 21.?To vl?tt Union county today end hear the conversation among the cilitmi of the new prospect of the Howie Gold Mine, which is being operated to capacity, carries one back to the glamor of the gold rush days. Te Howie mine, which i? about six or seven miles from Monroe, is ntfw owned and operated by the Jackaon Mining Company, inc., of Philadelphia and New York. The operators began work some time ago and according to Barnette Newby of New York, president and general manager, the situations is "Very encouraging" and tons of valuable ore are expected to be mined in the near future. The old Howie, or Colossus Cold Mine, us it was once called was discovered and operated before the Revolutionary War. Commodore Stockton, a great land owner and miner, came to thitf section and "prospected" | for gold. Realizing that in the new location gold was abundant, he returned north and organized a company. The new company came to what is now known as Howie Gold Mine and dug several shallow shafts and obtained much gold. During the Civil War it is said* Mr. Stockton and his company lost their Southern possession. A company of Southerners was then organized and the gold they obtained was used by the Confederate government. After Mr. Stockton's death, which wus just ufter the close of the War, his heirs went to law and after much trouble with the Southern Company, regained the property. Since that time many companies have owned the mine. Many operated it successfully and many have failed in the attempt. Since activity and operation have ceased, the mine partly filled with water and lay dormant for a number of years. During this time many stories have helped to make history of the old spot. It is said a man once was leading a boll by a shaft near the mine. This shaft had no cover and was very dangerous. Just as the owner of the bull was about to pass, the bull became unruly and, in plunging to obtain freedom, landed in the shaft, with its head down, face first. And to this day the shaft is known and called "Bull Face Shaft." Another shaft, called "The Negro," derived its name from another incident. Several negro slaves were laboring in a newly sunken shaft and in some way loose dirt caved in upon the blacks. They were buried alive and were dead when the dirt was removed. These negroes were buried near the mine and a granite slab marks their graves. David R.

The bout ended in the second round when Battling Babe Jtuth threw discretion and boxing rules into the dis| card, grasped his trusty home run I bludgeon and nourished it menacing ly at the former heavyweight champion. The mutch was the headliner of the annual Balm Beach charity show for the benefit of under-privileged children, sponsored by~ tTTe^IocallCiwan 1? club. The contestants appeared on the stage in a Palm Beach "afromobile," propelled by a grinning Negro boy, and while Dempaey had all the best of the first round, the former cham pion fled in disgrace at .the appearance of Huth's big bat. The shcAv was probably the most expensive ever held in America. Some of the boxes sold for as much as $5,000, while ordinary seats brought $^f> each. Among the producers were Floren*. Zicgfeld, Arthur Hammerstein, Sam Han is, Anita L/Oos, John Emerson and Harry Frazee, and the cast numbered such theatrical stars as Billie Burke, W. C. Fields, Dorothy Dalton, Louise Groody, Jerome Kern, Helen Cohan and others. Negro Shot From Ambush Marsh Cunningham, negro, was waylaid and shot Monday afternoon about dusk while returning from work to his home in the Cedar Creek section, by an unknown person, the weapon used being a shotgun loaded with No. 6 shot and two loads being fired, it is said. Cunningham was sitting on a load of jsrood wheft shot, both loads entering the back of his neck and shoulders. When fired on he either fell or jumped from the wagon and ran about 100 yards, fell and expired, the team going on to his home some distance away. Sheriff Dabney and deputies immediately went to the scene of the killing, but at time The News went to press on Thursday afternoon no arrests had been made; but two or three persons are being investigated and an arrest will likely be made at any time. Some discension among several of the negroes in the community had existed for some time, it is said, and it is believed the killing was the result of this feeling.?I^ncaster News. Slayer ( aught in Philadelphia I hiladelphia, h eb. 19.?Police announced late thts afternoon that they had arrested William Wood, a fire captain of Augusta, Ga.. who is wanted in that city in connection with the killing of Sidney Wiley, a cotton mill official. Wood was arrested as he was about to enter the home of his uncle at Fox Chase, a suburb. Philadelphia police received word yesterday of the killing and were requested to watch the home of the uncle. When Wopd was approached by a detective and a patrolman he denied his identity, police said, but later said he was the man wanted. According to the police, Wood said he shot Wiley because of Wiley's friendliness with his wife. He said he caught them in an automobile together last Thursday and when he tried to stop them Wiley sped away Wrood, the police said, further told them that he fired five shots but missed. From Thursday to Sundaj he looked for Wiley and on hSur.da;. found him. Wood said he inter.dec merely to warn Wiley to keep a-.vaj from his wife, but that Wiley struci him with his fist.

This is the contribution of the United States to an agreement with Canada to lessen the dangers threatening the rapid extinction of the continent's birds and results from the pleas of conservationists in all parts of the country for nearly a dozen years. j In every State of the Union and in Alaska one or more woodland sanctuaries will be created for game fowl and migratory birds, under the program which is estimated to be completed within ten years. As a matter of fact, the new act goes-beyond m.igcatogy birds in its scope, since it would naturally follow that wild life of all kinds in the United .States will live unmolested in the sanctuaries. As to birds, not only ducks, geese and others classed as game will be protected but also the great hosts of smaller birds so vitally essential to the agricultural interests of the country by their unceasing warfare against injurious insects. The measure was fathered in Congress by one of the leading conservationists in the country, Senator Norbeek of South Dakota. The conservationists have felt great alarm at the rapidly disappearing marsh ureus which have been depriving birds of their natural habitat. The fear has been held by them that unless suitable water and marsh areas are maintained, the birds will gradually disappear, despite the recent increased restrictions placed upon hunting. The measure also represents an unusual digression from the prevalent1 opinion that all drainagh of water of marsh lands is a public benefit. Conservationists have convinced the department of agriculture that under proper conditions marshy Jands will contribute financially to much more advantage than had they been turned to agricultural purposes'by providing a valuable supply of game'fish, a substantial return from the furs of beaver, muskrats, skunks and raccoons, grasses important as forage and for the manufacture of graas rugs and in holding off flood waters and in preventing excessive erosion. By terirtB of the new act, a com mission will be created consisting of the secretaries of agriculture, commerce and interior, two members of the senate and two of the house. They will be charged with the responsibility of selecting suitable sanctuaries, working in cooperation with the State authorities. The first year's work will be devoted in the main to a complete survey with the actual designation of the sanctuaries to follow in successive years. The act authorizes an appropriation of $76,000 for the first year, $200,000 the second, $600,000 the third and one million dollars for each of the succeeding sev6n years.
