C., was waked After 3 u, m. 99veral.tughte a^o to And two men taking gae. Upon hi? appearance at his door they demanded money. They were armed end threatening. But they met their match. Fxlwarda had no thought of tamely permitting a couple of thugs, beating their way through, to violate at will his rights and rob him of honestly earned money. He answered with bullets. One bandit immediately got his death messenger and staggered 50 feet to fall dead. The other,-who was already climbing through a window, also got his, though unfortunately j not in such manner as to finish him instantly. So he manage# to shoot Edwards fatally. Those two plunderers are typical of a class, who are thorough-going one- ! mies of society?ruthlesB in their de-1 termination to have what they want without earning it and to kill any honest fellow, who balks them. There is just one single proper disposal to be made of such enemies. Gaither Edwards knew this and at once put them cold on the earth, so that they could trouble decent folk no more. Every decent honest citizen will, as it were, bare his head in deferent honor to this brave martyr in the de- i fense of a home, regretting deeply that the infamous invaders of his home destroyed him in the battle.? .Spartanburg Herald. ^ Put The Patrolmen in Uniform The Abbeville Press and Banner criticizes the state patrol of the state highway department as a poor makeshift plan but what interests us even more is its pertinent comment that highway inspectors used as patrolmen should be in uniform. Any officer halting automobiles on public highways should be in uniform. Motorists cannot bo expected to stop for plain clothes individuals with upraised hand. The motorist who sees such a person signalling him to stop is as likely as not to step on the accelerator in the fear that the individual is a highwayman or in the thought that he is one1 of the nuisances known as hitch hikers. The Press and Banner's suggestion that these patrolmen by all means should be uniformed is entirely logical.?Greenville Piedmont. Billion Lost Annuully New York, Aug. 11.?American in; yestors contribute approximately $1,000,000.000 yearly to stock swindlers. And that contribution is attributed to a combination of ignorance in financial matters and the gambling instinct. by 33 expert fraud fighters.

Announcement of the suggestions was made yesterday by the Redfearn Motor company, Ford dealers in this I city, who will display the list prominently in their place of business. "These rules," said Mr. Ford, "are merely common sense as applied to automobile driving. Every experienced motorist knows all of them. It is our hope, however, that by stating them concisely and posting them where they will come to the attention of a great mnny motorists, we can so emphasize them as<to make a real contribution towards greater highway safety." The twelve rules are: 1. Courtesy comes first. Consider the rights and privileges of others. | 2. Keep your mind on your driving, and anticipate sudden emergencies. Learn the "feel" of having your car under control. 4. Obey all traffic and parking regulations. f). Keep to the right, and comply with road markings and signs. (5. Signal for stops and turns? watch the car ahead. 7. Slow down at crossings, schools, dangerous places. 8. Never pass cars on hills, curves or crossings. 9. Adapt your driving to road conditions?rain, ice, soft spots and ruts. 10. It doesn't pay to take the "right of way" too seriously. 11. When you drive, remember the times when you're a pedestrian. 12. Know the law. It was passed for your protection. "It is estimated that 20,000,000 persons will tour on American highways this summer," Mr. Ford continued. '"Recognition of the right of others will be essential. Many unpleasantries and accidents will be avoided if motorists, at times of close situations, will recall these rules and act accordingly. They are the recommendation of the Ford Motor company offered 'to give greater peace of mind to those i who travel by automobile." Judge Knew Prices The young judge had a bootlegger before him. It was his first case and ! he was undecided as to what to do | with the offender. Excusing himself for a moment he stepped into the corridor and met' an old-time jurist. "Oh, Judge," he said, "I've a bootlogger before me and T don t know what to give him." "Well," replied the old-timer, "don't give him more than $4 a piint ?that's all I ever give." In their frantic search for the killer of a 12-year-old girl last Tuesday ithe Minneapolis, Minn., police last | week arrested 21 suspects. Most of these were released after examination, but several are yet held by the ' police.

University, Va., Aug. 14.?Jeers and hisses greeted reference to Bish op James Cannon, Jr., tonight as Stanley High, editor of the Christian Herald, New .York, in an address before the Institute of Public Affairs sought to defend tho Methodist official against attacks in the press. What appeared to be the greater part of the audience indulged in the noisy demonstration. After the noise had subsided, Mr. High changed to another topic of his speech and left unsaid the remainder of that portion in his prepared address which referred to the bishop. He was seeking to say that the wets resorting | to mud-slinging was an indication that the "fight must be going badly." Smoke Screen No Good. Charlotte, N. C., Aug.19-?Here's j a tip on how to handle those rumrunning cars that use smoke screens. J Rural Policeman Macy Fesperman i and Henry Moseley early today gave j chase to a car they believed was run-' ning whiskey. The driver loosed a thick smoke screen. The officers put' on more ga*s and went right into the screen. They collided with the rum-1 runner, shoved his car off the road and when he tried to escape shot him in the arm and captured him. The driver gave his name as James Hilton. Six gallons of'liquor were found in the car. Hilton is held under guard at a hospital. Swiss Flyers Thought Lost. New York, Aug. 20.?Two Swiss flyers, scarcely more than boys in years and novices in experience, were overdue tonight in their thrust to conquer the westward crossing of the' North Atlantic, an attempt in which far better equipped expeditions had faih^d before them. Blythely disregarding the fact that they knew next to nothing of navigation and none too much of flying, Oscar Kaesar, and Kurt Luescher took I off from Lisbon early yesterday morning and headed their white monoplane for the far coast across the waves. * A German steamer saw them 175 miles at sea ami they flew over the 1 Azores at 1 o'clock, Eastern Standard Time, in the afternoon. Up to that (time they had maintained a speed of 190 miles an hour ami the gasoline consumption had apparently been i light enough to give the 21 and 22 | year old flyers the belief that they could make the American ^coast. Fined f or Shooting Doves. Anderson, Aug. 20.?Of more than local interest is a ease tried or disposed of by Magistrate G. H. Geigc. of this city, yesterday. The case was brought by State Game Warden Richardson against John E. Sadler, who was fined $100 for shooting doves out of season. ! Acting on information received b\ him in his Columbia office, Game Warden Richardson, came to And'erson to investigate report that doves were being shot in this section out of season. Some 79 doves, it is stated, were found in cold storage at a local ice cream plant and the package containing them reported as the property of Mr. Sadler, who, though he accepted full responsibility, did not admit that they had fallen as a result of his markmanship. The dove season does not open until September 1. Clay Named Executioner Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 17.?Deputy Sheriff J. A. Clay, of Oxford, Granville county, Thursday was named to succeed J. E. Thomas of Louisburg as one of the two executioners at state's prison. The new executioner, who will ejccivo $25 for every person he executed j for the state will come ovfcr from Oxford to central prison here for the executions he is to perform, Go go Ross I' superintendent of sta' -'s prison, -aid in announcing hi? ppoint mcr.t. When Mr. Thomas resigned reo-.iti ly h?- had killed 15 men for tho state during the four years he served as executioner. He declares he was ,4a , fool for ever accepting the job," cut denied that thoughts of the men he had killed bothered him. Joe St no, convict guard, is the other stati- ,-x? ecutioner. Thomas resigned shortly 1 after he was appointed a guard at Central prison. 3 The Richland county jury, investigating the cause of death of ,J. \y. Love joy, whose dead body was f?und f in a Columbia speakeasy last week, and for which three men were arrested, declared Monday night, that f Lovejoy came to hi* death at. the f hands of parties unknown. It was s the opinion that it was a case of . suicide. -JaCCO " urn I" i 'iirn. COTTON 8TANDAKDIZ ATION.X^ Coker's Cleveland No. 5 Beet For Kershaw County. v . In studying the cotton aituation in i Kershaw county, three major recommendationa are to be made by the County Agent: 1. Standardize on the beat-suited and moat profitable variety, 2. IammI more thought and attention to proper fertilization and poisoning. ! <V Cu t cotton acreage to that] amount that'can be .successfully and properly handled. Suggestions 2 ami 3 will be dealt with at a later writing. But the, subject of standardization needs attention novy si nee a considerable acreage of Ooker'e Cleveland No. 5 was plafited in Kershaw county this season and it is hoped that those farmers who planted these seed will fcsve them and sell the surplus to neighbors for planting use next season. It is also requested that all who will have these seed for sal? will notify the County Agent so that he may tell other farmers where they may obtain seed for the next planting season. To standardize on a cotton variety will prove valuable to the farmers. We are reliably told that the local mill will prefer Coker's Cleveland No. 5. It produces a quality of lint which meets mill requirements, is highly productive :and in every way suitable for Kershaw county conditions. It already enjoys a good reputation "here and is already being extensively grown. As to local conditions such as certain wilt-resistant fields, these will have to be dealt with iirdividually. Farmers can help save a big loss to their cotton crop by seeing to it that a minimum of trash is picked. Green and wet cotton should not be picked. All cotton, especially the first picking should be stored in a dry place for a few days before ginning. Seed for planting <hould be caught at the gin and not allowed to be carried through conveyors. If at all possible, certain days should be set aside for ginning the established variety. This is very important in securing pure seed for planting. I)r. Snook Sentenced. Columbus, Ohio, August 20.?Dr. James H. Snook was sentenced to be electrocuted on November 29, for the killing of his co-ed sweetheart, Theora Hix, by Judge Henry L. Scarlett today, after a motion for a new trial had been overruled.
