Boyden, I chief enforcement ofttcer of the food i ft<Jministration and approved by Pre*, 'dent Hoover, then food adminiatra- < tor, denounced the bhhop'a war time peculation in flour ae both illegal and i ^nmorairWr. Boyden, imminent 1 lawyer, was an unofficial rep resentatlve of the United State, on I the reparations commission after the war. The Boyden opinion was written i une 6, 1918, in response to a re quest by Senator Carter Glass, then , /nember of the house. June 1, 1919, Mr. Glass, learning that the bishop , had purchased 660 barrels of flour shortly before the (food administration I law became effective August 10, J 917, i aaked Mr. Hoover for an opinion on the legal and moral" aspects of the , transaction. <> The transaction was brought to the , attention of Mr. Glass by a friend, who exhibited a letter in which the bishop, seeking to allay gossip throughout Virginia that he was a food profiteer, admitted he had purchased 650 barrels of flous' with his owp money in the name of the Blackst6ne Female Institute, a Methodist college at Blackstone, Va., of which he was president. The Bishop's contention in the letter was that he bought the flour to protect the college against a possible shortage, but he did not explain what sudden developments occurred in the situation making it safe for" him to sell the flour within a few weeks after! the purchase. In the letter the bishop insisted that, the purchase was made with the I knowledge of the trustees of Black-f stone institute under an agreement ! that any loss sustained in the &deai | would be borne by him and any pro-] fits occuring would be retained by] him as reimbursement for advances! he asserted had been made from his funds in behalf of the institution. j Mr. Hoover wrote Senator Glass that he had referred his letter to Mr. Boyden. The latter wrote: The m&n is clearly a hoarder un-1 der the terms of sections six and seven of the food act, because he held flour 'in quantity in excess of the reasonable requirements for use orl consumption by himself and depend-1 ents for a reasonable time.' Even If I we assume that he really bought the flour for the benefit 6f the college, he J is still a boarder, for he*held enough! for three years supply for the col- I lege. j "He js, by so doing, depriving some I portion' of, tho-tommunity of its fair share of a scarce' food product. The better educated a man <is the more I clearly he ought to see this moral principle. I " am unable to persuade myself th&t a college has any special claim for consideration.'* How much the bishop paid for the flour, how much if anything in profits he cleared, and the exact dates "of I the transaction could not be learned. J Because the purchase was made just J before the food law became effective, I that law, which provided a penalty of I two years in jail and a $5,000 flue for i hoarders could not be invoked. Frank Anderson, stenographer for the 13th Carolina judicial circuit and for years a well known citizen of Greenville, died ^Saturday at Oteen# N. C? in a government hospital. Making It Plain - A colored preacher dowa^south was trying to explain the fury of hell-t5' his congregation. .. "You. all is seen molten iron run- . nin' out from a furnace, ain't you ?" he asked. The congregation said it had. "Well," the preacher continued, "dey uses dat stuff fo' ice cream in de place what I'm talkin' 'bout." To Build New School The trustees of the Kershaw school district have closed a deal for the purchase of two and one-fourth acres of the J. C. Catoe estate lands, adjoining the high school grounds on the north side, which was purchased at a cost of $1,000. The building, which j? to stand _ nearly opposite the residence of W. F. Estrtoge, is to be of two stories and of brick construction. It will contain seven clastf. rooms and an auditorium*, ami will be steam heated. This building was made necessary to accommodate tlml ' pupils in the lower grammar grades, which were considerably increased by the enlargement of the mill village, who will now be more comfortably and conveniently taken care of by nearer to them. It is hoped to have the building ready in ample time for use at.the opening of the school s?sekm in September.?Kershaw Era. ^ * - - . i?w p? Killed a Man For $12SO And a Watch ?

Bullet Removes Appendix Anderson, July 17.?James Raykerd's operation for appendicitis is believed to be unique, for instead of the scapel of a surgeon the instrument used to rid J>ames of his appendix was a 32-calibre pistol bullet. While the patient's physicians said the removal of the 49'gno which is n frequent offender nowadays was not altogether necessary at this time, it was just as well tha^ it was done for Jumes might have had trouble later on. And then, too, James saved the price of an operation. Jtaykerd is a negro of about 20 years of age. He is in a serious condition at a local hospital as a result of six perforations in the intestines from the bullet which with one stroke Bandits Steal Car and Money New Orleans, July ID.?Masked bandits stole an armored money truck containing $42,000 in. cash and negotiable cheeks on tho streets of New Orleans early today and disappeared. * ^11 After an all day search, the police had been unable to find any traco of either the robbers or the motor car. removed his appendix as cleanly as a surgeon's knife could have done.
