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withdrawn, and that the caseswere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withdrawn.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.

Two Lions Killed.
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 Pine Grove community Is using
a part of the Berdell property secured

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.
