Died Defendinx His Home.
^raither Edwards, Ailing elation
proprietor, of Sanfoixl, N. 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.?

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

Rules For Motorists
As a contribution towards greater
safety and more pleasant driving conditions
oji the highways of the coun|
try this summer, the Ford Motor company
has listed twelve rules as suggestions
to motorists and has distributed
them to dealers over the;
country.
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.
Th<' radio for airplanes has been so

Cannon's Name Brings Hisses
. i .1 lm.
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

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.

the cause of death of ,J. \y.

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
