State Officials Stopped at Night at J ■ Edisto River Crossing Near Springfield Held up on the Alledale-Colum- f bia highway .in South Edisto river swamp late Thursday night on the theory that they might be liquor runners, three women—two of them officials of the State department of education—offered such explanation to the officers, of what city or county the women knew not, as to enable them to drive on into Columbia. The party of three arrived in Col umbia early yesterday'morning, none the wore! for the holdup; and during the day an event that might have caus ed less frequent travelers much concern became for the three choicejeonversa- tional material. , \ Members of the party were Miss - Mattie E. Thomas; school community organiser of the South Carolina S hoot Improvement association; Miss ary E. Hite, acting State supervisor adult schools, and Miss Faith Clay- n, of Pickens, who is to serve as rxmnty supervisor this summer in the Allendae County campaign against illiteracy. Miss Thomas had gone to Seigling to deliver the commencement address and Mies Hite and Miaa-Clnytpn to —~0f IflteWSTT^tb a large confer with J. R. Cullom, Allendale County superintendent, concerning the adult school work. , Party Leaves Allendale. , Thev left Allendale at around 10:00 o’clock in a coupe, Miss Thomas being at the wheel. For a n hour the party proceeded op its way undisturbed, and only the whirr of the cmr’a motor and the mer ry notes of a mouth organ—to which Negroes Arrested Large Pistol Taken A pistol that has attracted con siderable curiosity was taken from 1 a negro Saturday by Sheriff Boncil H. Dyehes, following a raid in the Edisto River section of the county. The Sheriff and his deputy, Mr. P. 0. Beasely, visited n negro house in search of contraband liquor md sur-^, prised some 50 or 90 dusky gamblers wooing the goddess of luck. When the alarm w’ds given. Sheriff Dyches states that, with one accord, what the negroes craved most of all was an opening through which to make their escape and that where one was lacking it was quickly made, holes be ing butted through the .weather- boarding by those wrho desired to go from there. The officers, however, succeeded in making six arrests and pistols were foiffid on Dock Green Mack Fanning and Hugh Scott. Do-ik packed a gun of the vintage of 1856 that measured some 16 inches from stem to stern. Charges of gambling and carrying concealed weapons were lodged against the culprits, although it will probably be a man’s size job lo prove the last count against Dock. A bottle of liquor was also found in the house, but no charge of violating the prohibition law will be made, ac cording to the Sheriff, as it would be a difficult matter to prove ownership.

Barnwell and Blackville were be hind and the Edisto swamp just out in front 1 when the party turned out into the old road, a new road now be ing under construction across the swamp. To the left, partially blocking the toad they noticed a car, and as they passed, the lights of the car—headed toward the ^wamp—flashed once, twice. Following a hazardous course, .with swamf) land to each side, the party proceeded along slowly until brnught to y. halt by a large car on the bridge ahead and by the cry of “Stop.” Miss Thoimp swung the car to wards the right, pointing the radia tor toward the black watere of South Fork l Hardly had they stopped when I a man approach from a third car, ^^rked to the right of the road. A ^Huicd pistol lay unraised in Miss Hite’s lap. Take All Precaution. The officer—for so he said he was 4 —told the women not to be frightensd ^ but that they were ort the lookout for a liquor car and had to take every precaution. Thus the blocked high way and the demand to halt. One of the officers made his home in Springfield, it was learned, and he was able to recall that Miss Hite had formerly taught tjiere. Explana tions as to their identify having been satisfactorily made, although one of the questions was somewhat du bious, Miss Thomas said, as to her having delivered a commencement address, the officers allowed the party to proceed, and the car eas<>d across the Edisto bridge into Orange burg County, and struck cut for Col umbia. Accustomed through their duties of touring the State to night travel neither Miss TH^gnas nor Miss Hite were particularijf disturbed over the ^ incident., But there was, they both readily admit, no more mouth organ playing that night. Save that after they had left the swamps of the Edis to miles behind Miss Thomas* played —with meaning—“Whispering Hope.” —The State, June 5th.
