LOCATION OF STOLEN CARS Carried on to The Extent of Five or Six in Number Last Week SPECIAL APF.NT FROM WILMINGTON Still Other Cars Are S Aid to Be in Hands of People in Horry County Some interesting things happened in this County last week concerning automobiles alleged to have been stolon in the State of North Carolina. Nothing can be learned, of course, concerning the manner in which the cars wore taken as the authorities here have reported only the occurences in this State. Sheriff James A. Lewis last week, acted at the request of A. L. Long, a special constable sent from Wilmington, North Carolina, lo obtain the aid of the authorities here in repossessing the cars. Sheriff Lewis was (busy at this nearly all of last week. When the Sheriff's office was con suited last Friday a total of five Ford cars had been found, and tho farfs so far known in regard to ea^h of the five, may be slated as follows: Car No. 1 This is a Ford Sedan and was found in tho possession of Mr. Jason Ward of Wampee, South Carolina. The Sheriff states that Mr. Ward does not say fro u whom he bought the car. This car is claimed by parties living in Willi inurton, and they were here last week and identified 'lie car, and pi o duced proof of their ownership of the same. As to t^is <v,r, 1he Sheriff had legal wiits in his posossion for taking it, and these were necessary before the car could be seized. Car No. 2 A Ford touring car war loc.ited in'the po-^o;sion of Sam Ward, which is claimed by a young lady in Wilmington, North Carolina. The Sheriff did not disclose the name of the lady. Car No. ."> Another Ford touring car was found in the po ;session of M. C. McDowell, formerly in the posession of a merchant in Wilmington by the name of W. P. Powell, the owner of it, and is alleged to be still. McDowell claims he bought this car from Jason Ward. Car No. 4 Still another Ford touring car was located in the possession of Nicholas F. Nixon, Jr. Ho purchased this car from Matthew Ward. The insurance hfid been paid on this car and several others ta i A CHILD I WITH I RICKETS I should be given codliver oil in moderate doses, faithfully, every day for a long time.

Car No. 5 Another Ford car with a touring top was discovered to have been changed by taking off the coupe top that it originally had. This car with the change above mentioned was seized in the hands of Melvin Owens at Myrtle Deach, whtf says he purchased the car from a stri nger whose name he did not disclose. Before the car was located Mr. Owens, or the former possessor of the car, had swapped off the coupe top and had purchased and placcd on the body the regular touring top, Another car is alleged to be in the hands of some person in Horry Coun ty, after having been stolen from an old gentlemen by Ihe name of Motte, who lives in Wilmington. He is a poor man and did not own very much property but did own this car, which was stolen from him, and he is aged, has been very much worried about the loss of the car, and was mainly responsible for the sending of Special Constable Long here to locate his car and the five others above mentioned. The Sheriff stated that none of the other cars, except the one in the Jason Ward case, has been actually taken out of the possession of these people who now have them, but that he had notified these parties upon finding the cars in their pysession, that they must not part with the machines, but hold them subject to his orders, and that he would have the owners come and identify i I.hem nt.hprwixn f.hnn hv fhr? linrxissn numbers or other means of identifi-| cation which has already been proved out, and they were also left forj the further purpose of having tlieiu t;iken care of until the owners could take them away, and ho stated that all of the cars would be seized and returned to their owners. o Gfiti is a proscription for Colds, Fever and LaGrippe.

Bigham at Florence, S. C., of the murder of his mother, sister, brother and two adopted children of his sister. Bigham, a former resident of Leslie, near Americus, came here from that place with Walter Wade only J a few hours before Wade disappeared on the nig'ht of August 17, 1917. His body was found a week later in Flint river, with two bullet holes in his back and his pockets turned wrong side out. Was Last Person With Wade. Bigham was the last person seen with Wade, and though he was never indicted in connection with the case,! was questioned closely and for a long time was under surveillance. It was known that Bigham and Wade! had some personal disagreement when Bigham lived in the Wade) household before the latter's disap- ] pearance, and this first laid the linger of suspicion upon him. I/*,n.. r* is /-ii i i icini.1 <>i ui. v_/. i\. Vjiicipniun | and Warren 1. Johnson, both now J serving life sentences for the murder of Wade, have since learned that Bigham called at the home of a well-known resident of Americus about the time of the murder late at night, being unable to satisfactorily explain his presence there, lie also employed W. 13. Compton, a taxi driver, about the same time, friends of Chapman say, to drive him into the country, and after driving some distance in the direction of Flint river, asked Compton to drive him back to Americus, without explaining his reason for changing i his mind, this being action interpre-1 ted by Chapman's friends as show-1 ing that ho wanted to visit the scene where he had disposed of Wade's body, as well as establish an alibi, j Sentiment is Changing. These facts, added to the complete absence of motive as shown in the testimony of Mrs. Yertie Howell at the several trials of the case here, have inclined manv who formerlv held Dr. Chapman and the others indicted to be guilty, to now suspect Bigham, since he killed his entire family with robbery as his proven motive. While here Bigham was always of a morose disposition, and regarded by many as queer. It is believed here now that he is a paranoiac and that he may have killed not only Wade, who had a (considerable sum of money with him when he disappeared, but also the members of his family for whose ir.urdor be h?:s just been convicted, I while in an insane state. Chapman's Mother to Face Bigiiani. Miss Emma Chapman, a sister of Dr. Charles K. Chapman, wrote Bighum following his arrest in Florence a month ago, appealing to him to "tell all you know of this terrible murded and help us to establish the innocence of my brother, who we know is innocent of the crime for which he has been convicted." But she has received no response from him as yet. A similar letter written to the jailor at Florence remains unanswered, and the Chapman family now has under advisement the question of having the aged mother of Dr. Chapman visit Bigham and appeal to him in his Carolina 'prison to tell the truth" about the Wade murder case. A well known citizen of Americus who was visiting in Greenville, S. C., last summer, talked with an aunt of Bigham's wife, who told him that the family objected strenuously to Bigham marrying her niece to no avail, because an uncle of Bigham's had killed his wife, alleging that he mistook her for a "ghost" walking in their home at night, and il A \ " ? - in at menwers 01 ner family believed the killing was a plain murder. Evidence tending to show the elder Biffham had paid a nepro $200 to kill his wife was in possession of the family, she said, though ho had never been convicted of the crime. It has also become known that special prosecutors employed by relatives of Wade, following the murder, have been dismissed, but whether this was due to developments in the famous case since the conviction of Di*. Chapman and Warren Johnson, or to other reasons, could not be learned. o To Stop a Cough Quick take HAYES' HEALING HONEY, a cough medicine which stops the cough by healing the inflamed and irritated tissues.
