WHOLE FAMILY IS WIPED OUT (Continued from page 1, column 5.) thought that the man then rushed down the stairs and met Mrs. Bigham, his mother, at the back doer on the piazza, which connects the kitchen and dining room with the main house. There he shot her and the youngest of the two children. The < boy's body wras half-way down the steps, indicating that he was trying to escape. In the meantime the other child evidently had made his way into the yard and wras run down, being overtaken near a potato bank at the rear of the kitchen. From all that can be gathered Bigham must have immediately buried himself in, the thick woods a mile from the house where he took his own life. Bigham was about forty years old. He was unmarried and was a son of the late Senator L. S. Bigham, who served several terms in the senate from Florence county. Bigham was a civil engineer. The only surviving members of the Big[ ham family now are Edmund Bigham, who lives at the old home, and Dr. Cleveland Bigham, whose whereabouts are unknown. Dr. Bigi ham was convicted in the George[ town county court several years ago r of the murder of his wife. He w:?3 I sentenced to three years imprisonment in the penitentiary, but before he could be taken to prison, jumped I his bond and has not been heard of since. The amount of the bond was $10,000. Still Uncollected. The state of South Carolina has never been able to collect the bond money and the matter is now in the 'hands of the attorney general for settlement. It is understood that the | , Bigham estate is responsible for the money, all the members of the family having signed the bond except Mrs. J. Bogan Cain, who died rather suddenly during the influenza epi| demic, leaving a husband and one I son. As a possible motive for his deed yesterday, it may be stated that L. S. Bigham has been suspected of mutilating the county records for the purpose of getting hold of the estate lands. This matter is being investigated. It seems that about the time Dr. Cleveland Bigham left Florence the Bighams transferred their interest in the estate of the late Mrs. J. Bogan Cain, the only member of the family not on the bond. All the deeds to the thousand or more acres of land bear her name. Since her death, it is stated, that Bigham has been attempting to getj a settlement from her husband who ! is a deputy sheriff of this county, but' the matter has not been closed. Sev-j eral pages have been torn from the' deed books, the indices indicating, r and it is stated that they relate to the Bigham lands, and it is also said ihat in more han one case the wording of the deeds where the record is in long hand has been -crudely altered to i i show that Mrs. Cain was entitled to, ' ? 3 o o t fID ! only a nan or iinru imci COL ao i uu ] case might le in the certain tracts j referred to. The mutilation of the court house records caused something of a ssnsuliou and the matter hasi been kept quiet until absolute evidence could be secured. tobacco mnxcs 1:10:2 i'kkxs. Genera! Willingness to S* 11 in Kentucky. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 17.?Higher prices and general willingness on the part of growers to sell characterized the reopening today of hurley tobacco market throughout Central Ken-1 tusky, according to reports received! i here tonight. The markets closed January 4 following refusal of the farmers to market their crops at prices offered at. that time. At only one point?Carrollton, Ky., I ?was any dissatisfaction shown over | prices offered by buyers. There, dispatches showed, the market closed at 2 p. m. because of complaints of farmers that prices offered did not pay production costs. Decision as to whether the markets will reopen is to be made tomorrow. Reports from practically ail the markets showed that rejections of buvers' offers were rare. Prices offered on the Lexington market, the largest in the world, were slightly better than before growers forced suspension on January 4, warehousemen stated tonight. The average price here was around $12 per 100 pounds, it was stated. Approximately 900,000 pounds was sold here and warehousemen stated that rejection of bids by growers would not total one per cent. Head buyers for at least three of the largest tobacco manufacturing firms were on the local floors today and offers were made for every basket regardless of quality. Prices ranged from 50 cents per hundred pounds to $53. Dispatches from other points showed the range in price as follows: Winchester 50 cents to $56 per hundred pounds; Lancaster, $5 to $60; Danville, 25 cents to $53; Frankfort, $1 to $69; Carlisle, $1 to $48, and Paris, 50 cents to $35. SPLENDID LYCEUM. Course at Carlisle Offers Unusually Excellent Numbers. The Carlisle School has this season spared neither pains nor money in providing for Bamberg a most splendid lyceum course, consisting of live attractions tnai represent vanety and quality beyond all former seasons. The course will open on January 21st with the coming of Albert Lindquest and assisting artists. Mr. Lindquest is known in America and Europe as "the American Tenor with the voice of gold." The greatest musical critics of the age are unanimous in proclaiming him one of the finest concert tenors of this generation. He has a broad musical intellect, cultured and polished, and an exquisite lyric quality of voice. Miss Leonora Allen and Mr. Robert MacDonald are the other members of this concert company. Miss Allen, soprano, and Mr. Allen, accompanist, are highly accomplished musicians, and well qualified to accompany Mr. Lindquest. This attraction this season has sold in the large colleges and universities of Europe, Canada and the United States at $500 an engagement, but by a rare piece of good fortune Carlisle School procures their services for half price, much below actual cost, but a courtesy that the Bureau wishes to extend out of gratitude for past patronage. The Bamberg Music club, together with all music lovers of the commu nity, are urged for your own pleasure to hear this concert. Yours, in this case, is a rare opportunity. We shall be given that kind and quality of music that leads us into an experience that lies even beyond the power of laughter and tears, where inspiration and longing fill us with the pure and the beautiful, like the red and white meeting with the bosom of a rose. To lift us high to make us strong, these are the experiences that we owe ourselves oftener than occasionally. Following the Lindquest concert WANTS TO GO ON GANG. Hugh Bramlett Withdraws Motion For a New Trial. Greenville, Jan. 13.?Hugh T. Bramlett, convicted last week of the murder of his mother-in-law, .Mrs. Lou .McHuyh, with recommendation to mercy, was this afternoon sentenced by Judge George E. Prince to serve the remainder of his life at hard labor. Bramlett today withdrew his motion for a new trial and announced through his counsel that he was ready to receive sentence. Bramlett asked that instead of being sentenced to the state penitentiary he be permitted to serve his sentence on the chain gang here where he would be near his family and his aged mother. This request earnestly pleaded tor by Bramlett's counsel and strongly opposed by Solicitor .Martin was giv en consideration by Jud?e Prince, BramleU to serve in the penitentiary, but included a provision that ''in case the insane asylum unite in a certificate that you have entirely recovered your mental balance you may be, on request of the supervisor of Greenville county, transferred for hard labor upon the public works of said county for the remainder of your sentence." Read The Herald, $2.00 per year. artists will come "The Harry Leiter ! Light Opera Company," "The Clifton Mallory Players." "Tlie Virginia Girls Sextette," and Ralph Parlette. De-| . tailed announcements will be made as each company follows the other. Our Light Opera Company has made; a "great hit" throughout the coun-j try. The Mallory Players have starred on the Lyceum Platforms of New York City and Philadelphia only recently. The Virginia Sextette is composed of six cultured Virginia girls who sing and play well. Ralph Parlette is everybody's favorite?his "The University of Hard Knocks" has been heard around America and Canada. The tickets this season, covering the five attractions, are offered at three-fifty ($3.50) an extremely low price when we recall that Albert Lindanes! alone commands a price of not less than two-fifty to three-fifty ($2.50 to $3.50) per seat in all large, city, college and university audiences. Colonel Duncan has authorized me to state that an entire side section of the Carlisle auditorium will be reserved for those of the city who hold season tickets, and chairs will be provided to take care of the overflow. I may say further that the Carlisle boys will maintain attentive order among themselves, and will cooperate in making a grand success of this larger and more inspiring lyceum course. The lyceum may be made to serve as a great institution in Bamberg. Let us make it such. We may have the great in the lyceum world just in proportion as we give support to this cause within our gates. Your attendance will help and inspire the young men of Carlisle whom the state of South Carolina has committed to your care and training. ?Adv. CLAUDE MELTON. NOTICE OF FINAL DISCHARGE.
