Banana Bandit
r Works Own Ruin
Union, May 28.? Fating so many
bananas that it enlarged his corporisity,
so that he could not escape
through the bars he had widened to
j enter a big store building, is the reported
cause of the capture of a man
in this county, who has just been
'given 12 months on the county chain
i gang for breaking into a building.
The man, who is a stranger in this
j -ection, says he was on his way to
i North Carolina. In passing this store
; h? decided that he would get some
of its contents, so he prized the bars
over the windows enough to let him
I squeeze through. After he got into
i the building he saw a suit and other
, things he liked and being in need of
!a new outfit he appropriated them
i unto himself, that is, he had them all
laid aside, then he spied some
bananas, delicious bananas, such as
always appeal to his taste, and
;throught he would eat enough for one
time in his life. He did that for one
time in his life, for he ate all that
;he could hold. After he had done so,
; when he tried to make his exit he
found that he could not crawl between
the bars.
The night watchman of the property,
seeing a light burning Tn the
building, began an investigation and
.' ere found the stranger, the clothes
:.f had put aside and where bananas
ad been consumed. The judge at
.e presiding term of court here
r.tenced him to serve behind the bar
the jail, lu re or on the county
ain gang. There he has gone tn
. end 12 months, which will interfere
.th his prospective trip to North

Anderson Preparing
For State Legion Meet
\ Anderson, May 30.?The Yanks are
coming! The "Southern Yanks," the
men of the Thirtieth, the EightyFirst,
the Rainbow, and other famous
divisions in the World War. The occasion
is the annual convention of the
South Carolina Department of the
American Legion here on June 24 and
25, which will bring to Anderson approximately
two thousand five hundred
former lighting men.
Word has gone out from Headquarters,
Howard Anthony, of Post
W. A. Hudgens, Anderson, commanding,
that South Carolina Legionnaires
cannot afford to miss this convention
and apparently the former wearers
of O. D. are going to respond almost
one hundred per cent. From the many
acceptances already received, Commander
Anthony predicts an attendance
probably larger than any other
state convention of the Legion. At
least, the largest crowd in history
will be prepared for, the commander
said.
As well as bringing the rank and
file of the Legion in South Carolina
to Anderson, the state convention will
j also bring to this city many notables.
Among these will be General E. D.
Tyson, of Tennessee, a prominent
figure in the World War, and later
United States senator from his state;
Col. Monroe Johnson of Marion,
National executive committeeman;
Albert Cox, commander of the Legion
in the state of North Carolina:
Howard MacFarlane, Florida state
commander; George Levy, commander
of the South Carolina department:
! Miller Foster, adjutant of the state
department, and national vice-corn
I J
mander of the Legion.
The convention of the Legion
Auxiliary of the State will also bring
several prominent persons to the city
on this occasion. Mrs. Boyce L.
| Finckline, national president, and Mrs.
L. N. Julian, Southern vice-presiuent,
have both accepted invitations to be
present.
Messrs Levy and Foster .of the
state department? were here yesterday
conferring with Commander
Anthony and other Legion officials
with regard to the program plans.
Commander Levy predicted that more
| than half of the total membership of
the Legion in this state, which now
stands at 5,'40qy would be present for
the convention. c
Post W. A. Hudgens, which ranks
third in total membership in the state,
with?a3'45 paid members, is leaving no
stone unturned in arranging a program
that should prove most enjoyable.
Wants Light Law Enforced
Columbia, May 23.?In a letter to
Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway commissioner,

officers of the state highway
department to assist state constables,
county and city officers in
putting a stop to the practice of
operating vehicles on state highways ,

1 displayed. !
"While the duties of the officers
j appointed by the highway depart- J
ment and commissioned by me as ~1
governor are specific, their powers
are generaj," said the governor, "and
j I shall expect them to aid other of1
fleers in lessening the dangers of
< night travel on the highways of the
jstate."
