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.

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.

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.
