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. There was a ntranjye ne

had tho assistance of his missing j
brother is because the defendant is:
a one-armed man, according to a
statement of a person who was in
Florence during the trial and saw
the accused on the stand.
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.

ANECDOTK SHOWS
LINCOLN'S HUMANITY I
Tti the summer of 1SG3, writer, a
contributor, two young soldiers, Ed
ward R. 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."
That was fifty-seven years ago.

EFFECT ON CROPS MAKES
COW PEAS SOIL IMPROVE
The ease with which cowpeas are i
grown and their marked effect on sue
ceeding crops have made them one of
the most popular crops grown for soil;
imnrovement, according to Farmers'|
|Bulletin 1153, Cowpeas: Utilization !
;iust published by the United Stater 1
Department of Agriculture. "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

that were in the store. Other property
may have been taken but it
