Accused Of Selling Official Influence Anderson, Feb. 18.?Two Seneca liquor dealer* today swore out warrants for K. C. Johnston, of Anderson, and L. C. Graham, state constat ble who was recently suspended, on charges of swindling and defrattdflMf. C. 0. Price and F. H, Hlakely chffrge that Johnston accepted 8100 and 8160, reapectirely, from themt under the pretense that he could have cases charging Infractions of the liquor laws withdrawn, and that the caseswere not pressed and later Johnston returned the money to them. Graham waa put under $600 bond on one charge, and two warrants were served on Johnston, who put up 8800 bond In each case. The warrants were sworn out before Magistrate J. P. Gillespie, at Walhalla. Johnston, who is a cousin of Gov - *. ernor Johnston, and associated in business with the governor's father here, declared "there is not a word of truth in the charges. The whole thing is u political frame-up, engineered by Ocouee county enemies of the governor." He declined to comment on reports current here that he would swear out warrants against Price und Blakely for defamation of character. Price submitted an affidavit to the Walhalla magistrate in which he set out that Johnston, had told him he could use his Influence with Graham and other state Constables to have a tentative case against the rpm dealer withdrawn. The case was not pressed, and the money Price says he paid Jobostqrf was refunded, he alleges. Graham was recently suspended from the constabulary. Following his plea of guilty, Forrest Stucky, 29, has been sentenced to serve ten years In prison on a charge of trying to extort $6,000 from Governor White of Mississippi. He was tried In the -Federal court at Ulluxl. Extra Nitrogen in "ARCADIAN" with an extra cash value as high as 8 8^ per ton.

By Gasoline Fumes I wo lions were killed by an automobile in Yorkville on Thursday morning. They were lirutus and Topey, part of Che bunch of Hons of the Barqett Brothers big show which has lta winter Quarters her?. They died In the most modern fashionable method of accidental death, from monoxide poisoning." ? i.i.... i In the background of their tragedy is the well known depression and a bear raid on the lion market.' It all ts a rather Intricate story, with lta castrophe here on a Thursday mornI log. Brutus and Topey were kept in one cage. Tommy Bums, the menagerie superintendent, covered the cage closely with canvas. Then he rigged a rubber hose with one end in the cage and the other end over the ex-J haust .pipe of an automobile. The engine was started, and the exhaust fumes, bearing much carbon monoxide poured Into the cage. The two lions enjoyed the warmth corning In after the weeks of cold weather in which it is difficult to keep tropical animals warm. They lay still! and enjoyed the warm air. But very 1 Hoon, their heads and big manes| dropped on their front pawk and they seemed to sleep. In ten minutes from the beginning, they were dead, per- j fectly painlessly, and without warn-1 ing to them. Later the two lions were skinned, and the skins will be tanned to ornament somebody's home. The claws are most valued by animal men. The meat of the Hons was of not much value as food for other lions. They were two perfectly good lions Brutus was about 8 years old. and Topsy was about three and a half years old. Both were tractable and good show animals,, Brutus weighed about 450 pounds, and Topsy tipped the scales at about 825 pounds, but would have grown as large as Brutus, the difference In sex considered. They were killed because lions are rather costly things to keep and especially to feed, and the show could no. longer use them, nor could it sell them. Next season, the show will put on a lion training act of smaller size than last year, and will need only four lions, Instead of the six they used last season. So It had two good lions to dispose of. They were offered at bedrock prices discounted ninety per cent. The prospective buyers, stationed in the North with successive cold waves sweeping over all that country, were afraid to buy Hons to be shipped there, feeling sure they would die from cold before arrival. And nobody wants now to buy a lion anyhow. Zoos, big and little, have been getting rid of their animals during the depression and are not buying any new ones. The whole story is, that the lion market is so firm at the bottom, that it makes the stock exchange look like boom times, The short of the story of the efforts of Barnett Brothers to sell two fine lions is, that they could not get an offer for them? and so they killed them to save expense of keeping them. This seems like a record depression story, occurring right here in old j.Yorkville, For some queer reason, the show owning the lions failed to try to get Harry Hopkins to make a project of them, or to get Professor Tugwell to put them in one of his resettlement plans. Brutus and Topsy, who met with a scientific death, here in Yorkville, had never roamed In Africa, or chased amateur hunters up trees there. They were American bom and bred and had lived all their lives in this country. And they died in the latest Ameri! can way. from monoxide poisoning, the most scientific way for a lion to i die.?Yorkville Enquirer. Pick-up and Delivery Proving Popular | "Just what wo wanted and & wonderful solution to the problem of getting small shipments to apd from the freight station" seems to be the opinion of all merchants, storekeepers and individuals who have tried Seaboard Air Line Railway's free pick-up and delivery service as innumerable shipmonts of all description are dally transported between shippers' doors and the freight station in locally-owncd. Seaboard-contracted trucks. The new Seaboard plan has proven a boon to all shippers and receivers of less than carload freight who donot operate their own trucking equipment?bringing to them a dependable | door-to-door service at prevailing low freight rates, while to those who oporato their own drayago equipment, an allowance of five cents per hundred pounds is granted for performing either the pick-up or delivery service themselves.

The site for the playground in Camden was secured by the City of Camden and Is located between Lyttleton and Fair streets, south of DeKglb street, > A colored playground was also furnished by the City of Camden and is located near the Seaboard passenger station. 'n Betbune a site in the center of town was furnished by Lorlng Davli. The Pine Grove community Is using a part of the Berdell property secured by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McCullum. A recreational council decides the activities desired In the community, helps work out a program, secures material and directs the expenditure of funds. Not only the young people come under this program but classes are held for the teaching of knitting,' crocheting, weaving of rugs, making articles at pine needles. Mag&slnes are lent to those wishing them also. The young people are taught sports to develop them physically as well as mentally and this also tends to teach them better team work in later life, making for better Americans. * Lion Not King Of Beasts Columbia, Feb. 25.?The lion is not the king of beasts. John A. Crawford, instructor of physical education for men in the University of South Carolina says that all lions fear gorillas. The big male is more vicious and can make more noise than a lion. There are two species of gorillas, the black and the red, neither of which will have anything to do with the other. They often wage war against each other, individually and in bands. Thomas S. Shibe, Philadelphia baseball magnate, who died last week, left an estate of $1,000,000.
