AUTO THIEVE!
WHOLESALE ROUND-UP OF OF
GANIZED GANG WORKING IN
SOUTHEAST.
Columbia, June 22.?A wedge ha
been inserted into an organized ban
of automobile thieves, said to nura
ber at least fifty, operating in th
southeastern states by the arrest o
four alleged principals in the traffi
by the authorities of Richland coun
ty, the recovery of nine stolen auto
mobiles and the location of six other
which will be in the hands of the of
ficers shortly. Likewise the arrest o
members of the particular branch o
the major gang revealed that at leas
twenty other cars are scattered fror
Richmond to Tampa and there are as
surances that many of these will b
recovered and returned to their own
ers. Warrants for five other of th
clique have been sworn out and the;
will be arrested in a few days, in ad
dition to arrests to be made by Nort]
Carolina authorities of lessei member
of the band.
Those arrested and incarcerated i:
the Richland county jail Williar
Burns, alias Charles Mitchell, alia
Thomas Harris whose home is si
miles from Ashboro, N. C.; Emor;
Rickard, a farmer of Lexington coun
ty, this state; J. E. Williams, of nea
Asheville, and Will Calhoun of Greens
boro, X. CM It is known by the auth
orities that the last two men have giv
en aliases.
Cars Located.
Of the cars located and recovere
are nine Ford roadsters and tourim
cars stolen from Columbia, two au
tomobiles from Spartanburg, one fror
ttign romi, is. v^., one irom icaniut
man, N. C., and one from Batesburg
When apprehended the gang had in
its possesion a complete set of auto
mobile tools for changing factor
numbers, paints, parts of cars
switches and other implements fo
concealing the identity of automobile;
Complete credit for the apprehensio:
and arrest of the alleged automobil
thieves is due to T. Alex Heise, shei
iff of Richland county, and his asso
ciates, w. H. Thompson, deputy, un
der Sheriff Heise, Chief of Rural Po
lice Dunway, Richland county, and on
of Chief Dumvay's officers, J. A
Stack. These men have been work
ing on the case since May 19 whe
Sheriff Heise got his first informa
tion and the first arrest that of Wil
Burns, was made at Summit, Lexing
ton county, at the home of Emor
Rickard on June 4.
According to the confession of J E
Williams made to Sheriff Heise in ja
today the gang would steal cars lef
by their owners parked in streets an
if they were pressed for money im
mediately take them to Xorth Care
lina and sell them "for what the
could get" however, if they were i
funds they would make over cars t
conceal their identities at seclude
places in the country. Rickard's plac
in Lexington county, is alleged to b
one of these stations.
Part of Big Game.
If the statements of some of thos
under arre?t are to be believed th
clique, of which they are member:
is but a part of a great gang c
automobile thieves operating in ever
part of the southeast divided int
various divisions but operating sept
rately and for their own profit.
They assert that hundreds of cai
are stolen yearly and are disposed <
through "fences" it is charged tht
Rickard alone had seven stolen cai
in his barn at one time accordin
to Sheriff Heise.
According to Williams's confessic
his particular band started its opers
tions about a year ago at Spartai
burg when he and another companic
stole a Ford truck from in front <
the Gresham Hotel at that plac
l Williams gave the pi-ices he and hi:
companions received for the car:
stolen and they averaged about $301
for each. He said that they paid $21
for each car they stored at variou:
Y points for service and protection fron
the fences.

One of the pritiest and most inter^
esting social events of the season took

( IUI1, JCyUgCiJCJU tuuiuj, av ivui-wiiiv;
k" on Wednesday, June the first, when
their daughter, Lelia, became the wife

took place in the spacious living room
which was beautifully decorated with a
^ color scheme of pink and white, and
brilliantly lighted with many candles.

. themselves about a beautiful embankt
ment of ferns and carnation?. They

j. A Short Course At Winthrop.
n *
e I wish to say a word or two to the
- Club women and Club girls of Wili
liamsburg county about the splendid
i- short corse at Winthrop College,
i- which I had the privilege of attende
ing this summer.
l. As I have never taken such a course
as this before, I could hardly realize
ri i what a wonderful amount of good the
. I annual short courses at Winthroo Col
III lege have done and are still doing
- throughout the state,
y There were courses offered this year
in every phase of demonstration work,
1. end we were allowed to chose the ones
il which we liked best and which we
t felt would be most beneficial to us.
d I specialized in jelly-making, while
i- ethers from the cuonty took bread>
making rug-making, or some other of
y the courses offered. Of course we had
11 the very best teachers to train and ino
struct us, and we came away with a
d store of valuable information which
e we could never have gained as well
elsewhere.
In addition to our classes, we hac
the opponunititv of hearing some
e splendid lectures by such men as Dr
e D B. Johnson, and Messrs. Long
s, Cobb, and Martin. Then, too, there
>f were several ladies who made excely
lent talks on interesting subjects conc
ceming the home,
i- The authorities in charge of th?
Winthrop College short course not on s
ly provided for our mental uplift, bu<
)f they looked cut for the physical an(
it social side as well. Our working
rs hours were from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m
g and recreation hours from 6 p. m. t(
10 p. m. It was during these moment;
?n of recreation that we had the privi
lege, and pleasure of attending som<
splendid musical recitals. There wer<
in several receptions given us, where w<
>f met each other in our informal waj
e. and had the best of times, and on on;
> occasion, we all went to the picture
>' show to <ee Charlie Chaplin in "The
) Kid." 'Tis needless to say that we en>
joyed the picture very much
> I wish I could tell you just how
) much I enjoyed my trip, and how j
; much good it did me, but I am sure
;! that I should never be able 'o tell the 1
5 half even; A.iyhow, if you want some
,, good sound advise, don't ever turn
s,down a short course at Winthrop Col-1
lege, if the opportunity ever comes
your way. Nora Elliot.

Weevils, Weather and Poison
Clemson College, June 20.?As the
weather conditions constitute the determining
factor in the amour.t of boll
weevil damage from year to year, so
will the weather directly affect the
poisoning work from year to year, according
to Prcf. A. F. Coniadi, entomologist,
who states that if curing
the early part of the fruiting season
there is a month or more of hot and
dry weather we may expect that this
will control the weevil s^jfficiently to
make dusting not necessary or profit
abie. On the other hand, if this is a
i period of frequent rains, the weevils
I will rmiltinlv verv raDidlv and severe
loss may be expected. The midday
showers of a rainy season have a tendercy
to cause shedding of many
squares and young bolls. This results
in a concentration of weevils on the
remaining fruit, thus aggravating the
situation.
During the dusting season the
weather may be so rainy that it is impossible
to keep a coat of poison on
the plants sufficiently long to be of
value. But farmers should not be unduly
afraid of threatening weather after
poisoning has started. Experience
so far would indicate that every effort
should be made to apply the poison
as nearly as possible according to
schedule. Since the weather conditions
vary in different localities, the
procedure can be determined only
during the dusting season and foxeach
locality individualally.
