Along with ithe? sugar, salt and fuel shortage Bamberg is now in the grip of a gaso- line famine. Saturday the local sup j ply of gas for commercial purposes H became completely exhausted and not J ; a drop can be obtained here nor at i any. of the other towns in this imme i'd'ate section. Edgefield, more than f 60 miles away, is the nearest place known to have any for sale. Conse r Quently many automobilists are stranded here now, and many people If motoring to town from the rural dis frtricts are unable to get back to their States food administrator for Rich land county by William Elliott, State food administrator.

SEVERAL MURDER CASES. I Bamberg Court Holding Busy Session j This Week. r . Bamberg, S. C, Jan. 29. The Jan 1 nary court of general sessions for this I ccunty convened here Monday morn f ing with Judge Ernest Moore, of j Lancaster, presiding. It is expected I that; this term will probably last through Friday. There will be sev - eral murder cases to come up for trial in' addition to a number of minor rcharges involving misdemeanors. Ma f rion' Brown, a young white man of I' the Col3ton sectioii of the county, is v'waiting trial charged with killing a f negro. , Probably the most important ! case on the docket is that of the State against W. L. McPhail, charged with the death of H. W. Walker, in I;: the town of Midway on the night of December 16, 1916. The deceased was ; .a white man who at one time lived in Bamberg, while the defendant is a j promnient farmer of this county. This tease was tried at the last term of j criminal court here in September and resulted in a mistrial, which aroused f considerable interest all over this county. Food Administrator. Hi Columbia, S. C, Jan. 29. W. M. j Otis, well known Columbia business man, -haa been appointed United Legislature Resumes Work Today and Will Sit Full 40 Daysr; Columbia, S. C, Jan. 29. Little prospect is entertained for an adjourn ni'ent of the General Assembly before the full 40 days periou has elapsed. The Senate will meet today at 1 : 30 o'clock. Members of the Lower House yes terday returned to Columbia to begin last evening consideration of 4he ap propriation bill, which will occupy the attention of .the ...two. houses, the ma jor portion of the . remaining days of the .session. This and the council of defense bill wil be the battle ground in the House practically the entire week. The bill for the proposed four million dollar State bond issue was not introduced in time Friday night to get an expression from the various legislators, but this will afford an other field for prolonged debate. A sectional division of the ranks is foreshadowed, the major portion of bridges to be erected "under the pro posed plan being the Pee Dee or southern half of the State. A strong sentiment, though, prevails for the 'plan to wipe out all indebtedness and to place the State on a strictly cash basis and also to provide a public building for State officers and other State buildings necessary for the next ten years. The bridge fund -is also in keeping with tbe State highway department's ambition to build a Statewide system of permanent high ways and will naturally have many strong advocates behind the move ment. In the appropriation bill are several items about which the bitter contests will be waged. Fpr the Adjutant Gen eral's office, the amount asked for, $40,200, was cut by the ways and means committee to $5,900. For equip ment o fthe Third Regiment the sum of $68,0000 was asked. This also was cut by the committee to $45,087. Strenuous effort will likely be made for an increase in this amount. No provision was made for a wom an's building at the Unlpersity of South Carolina and pressure will be brought to bear in this direction also for the necessary $25,000. The amount asked by the State De partment of Education was cut $134, 000, the amount allowed being $426, 600, or $17,500 below the amount al lowed the department last year. The customary $50,00 for law and orter enforcement in South Carolina has not yet been added and this will be the focal point for -warm debate on the eye of adjournment. Governor Manning has asked $50,000 for thfi Council of Defease. Th com iuiii.cc icbuuuucuucu uiat iuib uc made $25,000 and also recommended a redistribution' of membership, giv ing each county representation.. Mem bers are serving without pay and one reason Columbia has a larger repre sentation is that a quorum at times may he easily procured without call tions of the State. Investigation of charges alleged by ing members from the remote sec Governor Manning against A. A. Rich ardson and members of the game warden force will be held this week. Considerable interest attaches to the office in that a constant turmoil has been waged about it for more than 12 months. Illness of Senator McCown, of Florence, last week prevented L scheduled hearings three afternoons. COURTS BEG N W0R1 TUESDAYS judge Whedbee Sends Mes sage to Governor Bickett About Fuel Saving (Special to The Dispatch.) Goldsboro, N.JC., Jan. 26. During a lull in the Superior court proceedings Thursday morning it was announced that there was not sufficient coal on hand to heat the court room more than one day.. After Sheriff Edwards had announced this state of affairs to the bar, . Judge Whedbee, presiding, re quested Col. John D. Langs tan, of the local bar, who had ben called home from Raleigh, where he is now State disbursing officer, to conpey the fol lowing message to Governor Bickett when he returned to Raleigh, in the form of a recommendation: "That in view of the fact of the fuel shortage, and to uphold and help maintain the government plan of fuel conservation, and to set a good exam ple to the public generally to obey the fuel administrator's mandates for fuel conservation, I recommend that all su perior court judges in Korth Carolina be instructed or requested to suspend holding court on Monday's during the winter months, and begin active ses sion for the trial of cases on Tues day's. In fact, I believe it would be a wise plan for a general fixed ruling, to take Monday's for preparatory work and begin active work for the trial of cases on Tuesday. This plan would give witnesses from a distance ample time to reach court, and would avoid unnecessary delay that is always the case on Monday's of court under the present plan of holding court." The board of aldermen in special called session granted a permit to the Goldsboro Gas Company for an ad vance in rates, temporarily, owing to the excessive cct ft this time of ma terials entering into the making of ga and the stress of conditions in general.

THE F LER CULTIVATOR The Fowler! Cultivator saves time, saves labor, saves stock, and so makes money for alf who use it. The fact that the Fowler works entirely above the roots of the crop, and at the same time makes a perfect dust mulch which conserves all thomoisture in the soil, results in the early and complete development of the puuii iiiu , a consequent increase in production per acre. This is where the farmer makes his money. As a labprrsaver alone, making possible the cul tivation of eight or nine acres a day with one horse, the Fowler is worth several times the price asked for it. It has such a light draft that one horse or mule can pull it all day without being overworked. In the cultivation of corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, cumbers crops which are plant ed in rows, the Fowler is far superior to any other cultivator now on the market. melons, cu- and other Price $12.00 Sold and Fully Guaranteed by N.
