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.

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."

WHY THAT LAME BACK?
That morning lameness ? those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work a burden and rest impossible.
Don't be handicapped by a
bad back?look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Bamberg resident's example.
L. B. Fowler, contractor and builder,

were weak and the secretions unnatural
and highly colored. My back
