JVill Miller, who got some of the J stolen money, is s-till at large afj though the officers have been looking for him for some time. Will Miller is a brother of the boys in jail and it was under his home at Gastonia that the most of the money was buried. Manuel Miller is alleged to have told his father where the money was located and the father is supposed to | have taken it and buried it. Following the robbery- tiho officers- gave Manuel Miller the third degree as they thought he know where it was located but now they are of the opinion that he did not know where it was planted as he was arrested soon after telling his father where the money was placed. Attorney C'arswell who represented the boys at first was given a clean slate by Judge Phillips in superior court at Charlotte on Saturday. The Observer has the following to say concerning remarks made by the elder Miller: "Miller charged that Mr. Cars-well accepted part of the payroll money as a fee and advised him to hide the remainder. Mr. Qarswell statea that he received $100 in a money order when Miller retained him as attorney and that when detectives1 (traced the money order and found that it had been purchased with part of the stolen money he returned the money to proper authorities and withdrew from the case. Miller had told him that the $100 came from a relative in Greensboro, Mr. Gar swell said. It was brought out at the trial that Miller had received the money, approximately $14,000 and hidden it. The defendant's son and wife, who were said to be principals in the hold up, are now fugitives from justice, according to police. Judge Phillips state meat follows: "Mr. Carswell, on Friday a witness by the name of Miller whom I sentenced to a long term in the peniteirtj iary made some statements which iwould tend to reflect upon you as an attorney. I with to say in open i court that I have investigated the ' charges he made against you here, by I discussing the matter with the local | officers, also with the president of ' the bar association and other members of the bar, and I find that the statements were absolutely unfounded and that your conduct in the case, for the short time you were in it, was of the highest ethical character, and the court is of the opinion that these statements were made by him because he was mad and felt that you were the ?one that caused the officers to find the money and caused the money to be returned to its I rightful owners. "I wish to say that in open court in defense of an attorney whose name has always stood in high regard by the people of this county and by the b^r, and I wish to say, in fairness to you, that I have made an investigation and that I find that those statements are unfoun^d and untrue."?Lancaster News.

The former senator went on to say that he hopes his hrotiher, Eugene S. Blease, will lx*. a candidate for the UniUxl Slates senate. The younger brother to w)u>m he refers was lately chief justice of the slate supreme court, resigning in the face of a new tenyear term just granted him by the geneial assembly because he did not think his health sufficient to meet the aixluous requirements of the office, The general assembly requested hini to reconsider, as did the then governor, Ihra ('. Black wood, hut the chief justice was adamant. He had made up his mind, and he -stuck to it. He has since he-en practicing law in his home town of Newberry. The sighed statement of former United States Senator Cole L. Blease of general interest over the nation, is as follows: I am not a candidate for any office, and will not he in 1 p.'id, whether my brother, Eugene S. Blease, is or not, 1 hope he will be a candidate for the United States senate." Asked as to rumors that there was some concert of action between him and Governor Olin 1). Johnston on certain mutters, Cole 1,. Blease said: "As to your other question, 1 have not seen Mr. Olin I). Johnston since he has been governor. 1 have not spoken to him over the telephone or through anybody else, or ^ommunichted with him in* writing, nbr he with me. I have not said one word of him or sent him any message dn reference to any appointment that he -has- made, or anything that he ha-s done as governor. It is none of my business. That is up to him and the people who voted for him. It is none of my business and I don't give a snap of my linger about it, and I am tired of jieople coming to me and trying to lay things on Governor Johnston and get me to comment about them. 1 have no comment to make. He i> governor and is responsible, and 1 suppose is glad to take the responsibility of each and every act of his own."?John K. A all. in Augusta (Ga.) Herald. Tourist Highways Being Advocated The state highway department will hear a proposal to pave certain unpaved sections of the highway from Camden, through Eastover, St. Matthews, Orangeburg, Bamberg Allendale and on into Georgia, according to a decision reached Friday evening at a meeting held in Bamberg. The proposal is for -the purpose of shortening the route for tourist travel into and out of Florida. At a meeting in Bamberg there were present representatives from the several interested cities along the route. W. D. Chitty, secretary of the Orangeburg Chamber of Commerce, was made general chairman of the organization to advocate the proposal.?Orangeburg Times-Democrat. Poultry Bays Farm people of Kershaw county, both men and women, boys and girls, are urged to develop poultry enterprises where practical. Before going into the poultry business on an extended basis one should make up his mind that he will give the enterprise a great deal of time and careful attention. He should by all means produce on the farm most of the feed for his poultry. About the cheapest home grown ration for j>oultry is yellow corn and skim milk. A farmer having a number #f milk cows can sell his sour cream to .creameries, shipping once or twice per week (Details will be worked out by the County Agerut). However, to keep cows on a profitable basis he should have a good pasture. For the past fi years we have furnished wholesale poultry shipment schedules to the various parts of the county, and we never stop running these schedules until the poultry is sold out. Many more of our farm people are finding a very nice profit in poultry, but many more of them could be making this sideline profit if they would do so. The brick brooder is in my opinion the best, safest and most practical and most economical method of brooding baby chicks. We have many bulletins on various branches of poultry production, which bulletins can be secured free of cost upon request of County Agent's office. Those interested in developing their poultry enterprises should arrange to get some baby chicks as soon as possible. Be sure to get chicks from blood tested flocks says Henry D. Green, County Agent. The difference between getting somewhere and nowhere is the oouro* to Mto ?fe tarty atari -aJt Condemned Man In Sermon On Scaffold Sum hiatal, Ky., April H>. Fifteen! hundred stood i? a natural j amphitheater today and heard oiif of the mast amazing sermons ever] preached -a sermon from the scaffold. The "preacher" was VVillian Thomas DeBoe who, for 50 ininotes, harangued the crowd on justice and morals and tiien was hanged for the rape of the wife of a Kentucky nterchant ?a crime lie denied. While spectators from Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois ami Kentucky crowded the slojK's of a hill looking down j into the 100-foot enclosure for the, scaffold, DeBoe i?oured forth the last reactions of a doomed man. The crowd was silent when he do- j maraled to know whether his accuser j was in the crowd. She was, but re-1 muincd silent until DeBpe's insistence impelled her to cry out: "Here I am!" His first words as he mounted the sea (fold back of the oiic-s-tory brick Livingston county jail at 5:22 a. m.,' were: * , "Is Mrs. Marjorie .Johnson in the' crowd?" 5 Silence answered him. Again he asked, and again silence. Nine times J he asked for his accuser. Then she. stepped forward. HeBoe, calm, speaking with a southern accent demanded: "Woman, are you satisfied?" His accuser, flustered and excitbd, defended herself when DeBoe assert- i e<l: "If 1 had $.'500 or $500 to give her, j she would not have made the charge." I His accuser flushed and shouted:] "Not for a thousand dollars! Not for a thousand dollars!" Visibly shaken, the woman yet! stood steady ami straight as DeBoe cried: j "You would, yes, you would, too." | "No, I wouldn't either!" she hurled back. I 10 yes of the assemblage watched her as she defended herself, quite as much as they did DeBoe. From the tirade against his accuser. DeBoe turned to explain the cost of crime to "you boys and girls here." "You can see what, happens when you do things that are wrong. 1 robbed, yes, but I am no rapist. I robbed and 1 am being killed. Don't ever do wrong, because you have to pay." DeBoe, referring to Good Friday, reviewed briefly the spirit of the day. "They are even putting me down on the day Christ died. Well, they are doing the same thing to me that they did to him." i Although using his own words, he, in effect, recited the words of Christ, who said: "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." Instead, DeUoe with a slight display of emotion said: I "I've made peace with Clod. I've asked Him to forgive that woman, to forgive all." 1 Throughout the entire sermon the crowd stood s]>ellbouTwl.
