WHOLE FAMILY
IS WIPED OUT

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,

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.

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.

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."

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.
