Wi)t pamkrg3!cralb ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1801. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 30. No. 4. THURSDAY, JAN. 27,1921. The Herald finds it necessary to offer to its readers an explanation this week. The paper is today sent out in four pages, not because of any desire on our part to economize to that extent on the use of print paper, but because it was not possible to print more under the conditions that have existed this week in regard to the day electric current. By working at night we have been able to set enough type on the linotype machine for four pages and no more. The new commissioners have worked so faithfully to resurrect the power plant that we are loath to burden them with any criticism, and we are not doing so, but our readers are not accustomed to receive four-page papers, and we think this explanation is due them. We wish, however, to take this occasion to say that the night current is so much better that we are sure we voice the sentiment of all the people when we say that this service is appreciated. Unfortunately the business firms operating by electricity, however, find it difficult to adapt their business entirely to night work. However, now that the night current service has been so much bettered, we are sure that steps will soon be taken to give a day service of like satisfaction. Un til this is accomplished, however, all concerns operating by electricity are rather seriously handicapped. ONE ARREST FOLLOWS FLORENCE TRAGEDY. (Continued from page 1, column 6.) my brother Smiley, and charging him, as I know he will, to take care of my mother and my two little adopted boys." Mr. Arrowsmith further declared that he drew the will as instructed and it was witnessed by himself, G. T. Bryce and ^Marshall W. Bridges and that he incorporated in the will the statement of Mrs. Black to him regarding the threats against her life. At the Bigham home this after noon officers made a search for papers relative to the estate lands and for the will mentioned in the Arrowsmith affidavit, but did not find them. Bigham stated that he had a will but af' * - i- - ? r\tyi ortoH ter iOOKing over nib yayvi. o i iivu that "he could not find it now." It was first believed that L. S. Bigham, while supposedly insane, had shot and killed his mother, Mrs. M. M. Bigham, his sister, Mrs. Margie Black, and the latter's two adopted children, Leo and John McCracken, and had . . then gone into the woods a half mile from the house and shot himself to death. There was some doubt in the minds of the coroner's jury that L. S. Bigham was the perpetrator of the crime and it was decided to delay rendering a verdict until additional evidence could be taken, and the arrest of his brother, Edmund Bigham, has given the case a most interesting aspect. With reference to the estate lands it appears that a few days before her death, Mrs. J. Bogan Cain, a sister, is alleged to have signed deeds transferring certain of the lands to Mrs. Margie Black. This is said to have been after the Cleveland Bigham bond had been arranged for. In view of the fact, as presented in the Arrowsmith affidavit, that L. S. Bisham had not only been made the beneficiary of Mrs. Black's will, but he also had in his possession deeds signed in blank which he could have used as he desired, it is urged that the question of motive for the murder on the part of L. S. Bigham, as far as property consideration was concerned, had been removed. Expecting a Storm. Ma, with a stern look on her face and a cane in her hand, was waiting for Willie. Ten o'clock struck, then 10.30, even 11, but no Willie came. Ma dozed in jerks and starts. At last Willie came up the garden path, took off his shoes and softly opened the door. Taking an umbrella from the hail stand, he flew up the stairs. But ma heard him and came up after him. As she arrived Willie scrambled quickly between the sheets and opened the umbrella. "William," said ma, "what are you doing? Why have you brought that umbrella up to bed with you " "Ma," said he, "I thought there was going to be a storm." ? g? > ?
