BIGHAM CASE I STILL TALKEDj Edmund Bigham Had Assistance in Wholesale Kiliings of Family ! GETS RESPITE BY APPEALING Dr. Cleveland Big'ham Believed to Be Masquerading: in Wo- J man's Clothing'. ? There is still some interest shown j in the Bigham case, in which Edmund Bigham was convicted in the Florence court last week of the murder of his brother, Smiley Bigham. The defendant had been charged with the killing of his mother, his sister, and two adopted children of his sister, but he was tried for the killing of his brother only. Having been \ convicted in this case and sentenced to be electrocuted on April 8th, his attorneys have given notice of appeal to the Supreme Court in the hope, of course, of getting a new trial. This appeal, if it has no other result, will obtain i*?im a respite from death unn' tho matter can be disposed of by the Supreme Court, probably several months or within a year from now. Tt is not thought likely that the appe.il can possibly rerult in anything oxcept to grant him a temporary lease of 'ife until it can be heard and decided In thej Jiigb court. The reason for so much interest in the case here is to he found in the recollection of a terrible tragedy at Murrells Inlet several vea'-s ago, /'""when Dr. Cleveland Bii*!l'im, a brother (>f this defendant, shot am1 killed Jnis wife, claiming that he had seen her advancing along the beach and had thought she was a ghost, or a trespasser trying; to enter the private property which w?s then occupied by Bigham. He wn? tried in the court at Geov'ctown and cohvicted and sentencf' 'o the peniten-1 tiarv. hut he appr ?d and secured his liberty on \n appeal bond given! by the member?; of his family, who j were recently the 4 victims of the j wholesale killing' above mentioned.' He skipped his bond and the Bigham estate has heen tied up ever s'nee [ over proceedings to estreat the bond I of Dr. Cleveland Bigham. Out of this has grown tho troubles in the Bigham family and which has lead to tho death of all of them except tho grandchildren of the old mother who was killed at the same time that Smiley Bigham lost his life at th? hands of Edmund Bigham. Stories are rife both here and in ? Florence county that Edmund Bigham did not perform this horrible tragedy all alone, but that bo was assisted by the mis.ing hrovner, Cleveland.

It appears that while circumstantial vidence ak no is what convicted l-Mghar?, vet there were some of the strongest circumstances ever known ;n a criminal trial brought out by the state., Among the facts established was the one relating to the location of the wound which killed Smiley Bigham. The claim of the defense was that Smiley had killed his mother, sister and the little boys and then killed himself, after going into the woods. The bullet wound, however, was in the back of the neck, and the solicitor demonstrated that it would have been impossible for the dead man to have killed himself in that manner. The bullet had been fired from behind and ranged almost straight across through his neck. If he had fired the shot himself it would have ranged downward. o Hall's Catarrh Medicine Those who are in a "run down" condition will notice that Catarrh bothers them much more than when they are In good health.

Campbell and Wayland Thompson found themselves near the so! 5i?rs' home in the District of Columbia. perhaps four miles from the White House. They belonged to Gen. era! Wright's division, which at the same time was guarding Washington. The day was hot and as ;bov wpv thirsty, they went up to one of several cottages they saw and knocked. A tall man with disheveled hair came t< the door, in shirt sleeves and clotli slippers. "Can we get a drink of water?" thev asked. "Yes, I'll get you a drink," he replied. So the man went to the well outside the house, let down the bucket and drew- it uo full of water. Then he v ent into the house and returned with a pitcher and two old-fashioned gob lets. The pitcher he filled fiom the! bucket and then, having poured water into the goblelts, he handed 0:10 to each of the young men. The water v. as c?ol and refreshing. Their host, whom they took to be an ordinary man, talked to them al' the time they were there. He asked all sorts of questions, their names their ages 'Campbell was nineteen and Thompson about twenty-one), where they came from, what regiment they belonged to, and the like. When they .had slacked the;r thirst they thanked him and turned to g<? en their way. But he stopped them raving, "Young men. when you get back to your respective command-, ou c;u\ tell them that you have been given a drink of water by the I'lcsi'.lciU of tiii U'v'icd States."

"Re. :de.< increasing t}ie productiveness of the soil, the bulletin says, the cowpeas al [so improves its general physical condition, making heavy clay soils more open and sandy soils more compact. The cowpea has the distinct advantage of making a good growth on soils which will not produce profitable I yields of other legumes or cereals. Tt is an excellent green-manure crop for [vineyards and orcbaids. i incept on the poorer soils, results 'indicate that it is decidely more profit |able to utilise the cowpea a hay or pasture and then plow under the Hubble than it i to plow under ihc entire crop. About 85 per cent of the fertilizing ar I .- oil impvr.ving value of the cowpea is contained in the ha..'and about if> per cent in the roots and stubble. Feed'ng experiments indicate that mi ch of the fertilising value of feeds is recovered in the man ire. Tt is possible, therefore, to obtain the feed inn: value of the cowpea as hay or pasture, and, in returning the manure to the soil, to sa,fc a I a "ire (part of the fert;lizin<r valve, ivov ded the manure is well handled.
