WINTER WEATHER IN THE PAST
Kditor Digs Up Ficti About Temper ture
in K?viou? Yearn
Oat* may be heading, rosea, iris
and many other flowers may be
blooming ahead of time and men may
bo mopping their brows as in the
good old summer days, but this kind
of weather has been here before and
it was not so long ago as 1832, a
year that can speak only from the
iecprd, says the Greenwood IndexJournal
and continues Us reminiscences:
Take December, 1896, for instance.
November that year was one of the
mildest that the oldest inhabitants of
the period could remember and then,
on the last day of the month the first
frost came along and that very night
it snowed. Not just a little ski ft, as
o snowfall is sometimes called, but a
real deep blanket of it.
John B. Sloan recalled the frigid
spell in a talk about the weather yesterday,
but wasn't sure whether il
was in 1896 or 1898.
"Find out which of ^Jtose two years
the State Baptist Convention met in
Charleston and you will get it," he
suggested.
J. W. Sproles looked up the record
and found that it was in 1896.
"I was a delegate to that convention
along with W. L. Durst and others,"
said Mr. Sproles, " and I certainly
do remember that blizzard but
it came a few days after the frost
iftbntioned by Mr. Sloan. We left
here on a Southern train at 11 o'clock
in the morning. Telephone and telegraph
poles were down and we didn't
get to Columbia until night, and
reached Charleston some time the
next day.^ It was a real blizzard."
Mr. Sproles was reminded that the
told snap came just a short time after
the hot election in which William
McKinley defeated William J. Bryan
after the famous heated 16-to-l campaign
and it was saggested that maybe
it was a reaction from the hot air
spilled during the summer.
And speaking of that terrible
weather of-February 1899: People
with good weather memories say that
January of that year was not a mild
month. There was much snow and
the blizzard came on February 13.
And there was more snow in March.
But the blizzard of 1896 followed a
real warm spell. The question is,
will weather history repeat itself?
Big Bills in Hoarding
Washington, Feb. 13.?Most of the
money In hiding is in big hills, a fact
that led treasury officials to surmise
today that it is persons of comparative
wealth that have mainly taken
to hoarding.
While the drive went ahead to return
unused cash to safe channels
that will liven business,, an official
compilation showed that -in the 13
months ending with December 31,
there was an $808,000,000 increase in
currency out in notes of $60 and nbove.
The gain for twenty dollar
bills and below was $393,000,000.
Officials have been unable exactly
to tface the money hoarded, but the
opinion was evident in expert quarters
that- amounts ^ of $60,000 . and
$100,000 and more account for most
of that in biding.
It should be considered an honor
to receive a bill for what you owe.
Instead of getting riled up when
you are presented with a statement
of your account, you should be genuinely
pleased. .For a bill is an indication
that someone has faith in
your honesty. ' When you are presented,
then, with a bill, pay it at
once if you possibly can. If you
can't, frankly tell your creditor when
you can. Cherish your credit as you
do your health, happiness and other
7>riceless boons equally rare and
elusive.

Howell Found Guilty *
For Second f11me
tl
For the second time in his span w
of life, O. E. S. Howell, former night 2
watchman, on Wednesday afternoon ri
heard the death penalty imposed for b
the slaying of E. Hart Williams, former
filling station operative and ^
World War veteran, as a Sumter j,
county jury for the second time re- h
turned a verdict of "guilty" without V
recommendation to mercy.
Judge W. 11. Townseijd Wednesday j,
evening, as the shadows were length- o
ening outside, in the court room, ^
pronounced (the death sentence on g
the prisoner, who lost his composure v
so evident throughout his second tri- b
al and almost collapsed when the "
jury returned its findings. Howell t
was sentenced to death by electrocu- 1
tion i at the state penitentiary on j>
April 8, next, for the slaying of Wii- a
liams. The jury stayed out one hour j
and 57 minutes and surprised the d
majority present by their sudden re- ^
turn to the court room. Counsel for
Howell made no motion or. notified e
the court of any intention to appeal h
tjie celebrated case again.
In marked contrast the second trial r
of Howell consumed less than half ^
the time taken by the first trial, as ?
much testimony introduced in the t
first was omitted. Mrs. Howoll did ?
nolt testify in the second trial at alb \
Interest, too, was noticeable by its s
absence as time appeared to have ^
played havoc with public interest, j,
and it was found wanting. A high ]
type of order was maintained all (
throughout the trial of Howell and ^
witnesses were expedient with their (
testimony. In short, there was an \
orderly and speedy dispatch of the 1
business in hand, that of arriving at
the facts in the case.?(Sumter Her- r

On Monday afternoon L. Perry
Mackey, rural mail carrier on Route
1, returned from his mail delivery to
find his home in Hothel section in
ashes and his furniture burned along
with it, only the covering1 from three
beds and two trunks being saved, so
quickly did the fire do its destructive
Work.
Mrs. Mackey was in the cook room
preparing^ dinner when she heard a
roaring sound, and when she went
to investigate she found the ceiling
of the room on the opposite side of
the hall to be ablate around the chimney.
She rushed to the door and
sounded the alarm to her brother,
Robert Croxton and Riley Ia>wery,
whot were at the barn Jot, and they
with three women Who were on the
outside came at once, but the fire
hat! made such progress that nothing
but the things mentioned could
be saved. Only a fow minutes before
she discovered the fire, Mr$. Mackey
and her brother wore sitting in the
room where the fire originated but
neither of them were aware of its
presence above them. Mr. Mackey's
loss is right heavy as ho had only
partial Insurance on both building and
furniture. *

the ground and burned it. The live
wire then burned {l^cgugh the pavemtit
and 15 inches of soil to sever
