In an address to the grand Jury at
Sumttr Judge C, J. Kamage on Tuesday,
hit at "Young America." 09
ulso took a fling at the bootleggers.
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.

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.

breeder and capitalist, of Hartsville.

and a man whose influence is being
felt largely and increasingly in state
and national agricultural circles, will
aid 100 Darlington county farmers,
through a process which adds to his
established reputation as a bent-factor.
He will help, through thet
commendable method of causing the
farmer to help-himself. . F.ach of the
100 farmers will have a five acre plot
under the directions of Mr. Coker,
cooperating Vwith the state cohtost
rules, Clemson college and his three
appointed supervisors.

Dempaey Fleet Before
Ruth'a Menacing Bat
Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 21.?An attempted
ring comeback by Ja<*
Dempaey ended last night when the
old Mantissa mauler tied the ring to
escape the rushing attacks of his opponent.
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;.

Bird Sanctuaries
For Every State
A national system of sanctuaries
where migratory birds ijaay feed, rest
and breed, unmolested, in marshy and
woodland areas, will dbme into being
by the bill signed Monday by President
Coolidge. 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, $600,000 the third and one
million dollars for each of the succeeding
sev6n years.
When St. Louis physicians X-rayed
the head of William Stewart, 41, ne$ro,
who had fallen on an icy sidewalk,
they found a bullet in his head.
"My wife shot me after a little argument
22 years ago," explained th?
negro.
