NEWELL WIMBERI A LESSON FOR MOfcS How unjust it is to judge of guilt on the strength of superficial circum stantial evidence was illustrated some time gao by the case of a 11-year old boy murdered in Arkansas, pre sumably for a small amount of money he carried. It was known that shortly before his death he had been in company with a one-eyed negro boy, who also wm missing. Search for the negrr was begun, with open threats of sum mary ve?tff*nce. After several day* the negro boy was found not far from wherd the white boy was killed. But he was,, also dc<vd, with indications that h6 gave his life in common bat tle with the white lad's murderers. Now suppose that the two boys had separated before the white boy Was killed. And suppose the mob had captured the negro lad, whose sight less eye Would have identified him be yond question.. There would have been |ust one more lynching of a neg deepite his pleadings and protes tation* of inntoeoce. Hog Shipment Within : Next Two Weeks Farmers * interested in shiping hogp by harlot to Richmond within the next 2 Weeks will pleas* notify the coifnty agent this week. Last week the to prices for hogr delivered to Richmond' was , 8.75 pei 100 lbs. for hogs weighing from 165 to 226 lbs.; *8.60 to $3.75 per 10C lbs. for hogs weighing 226 lbs; V 260 lbs.; $8.80 and $8.60 for hogr weighing from 250 to 800 lbs; $8.4f to $8.70 for hogs . weighing 125 i lbs to 160 lbs.; $8.00 to $8.40 per 100 lbr for hogs weighing from 100 lbs. tr 120 lbs. It will be more profitable to oir farmers if we can ship approximate ly 200 hogs using a double-deck ca' since the rate per 100 lbs. will be less than fn cars only a one-decV shipment is made. The prices quoted above whic)- ? were in effect at Richmond las' week are given here only as an inde' to the price situation. It should b f borne in mind that prices received at the time , we may ship within th . 2 weeks from now may be slightly deviated from the above prices.

Henry D. Green, County Agt , Greenville Woman's College Taket j An Important Step Forward ,,A At a recent meeting of the G. W C. Board .of Trustees, Miss Betty Mittell of Savannah was elected; tc the position of "Enlistment . Seiorfe tary." Miss Mittell is an ho&OI graduate pfthe class of *92$. pu&u the succeeding five tell has held several responsible po sitions, so she goes out to solicit stu dents for her Alma Mater equipped with a heartfelt interest invthe col lege, with experience in contact wort and with all the charm and winsome ness of youth. The Executive Board of the Green ville Woman's College Alumnae As sociation in session Wednesday af ternoon, February 8, duly elected Miss Mittell a member of that Body and authorized her to organise G. W C. Clubs wherever she goes in the in terest of securing students for the 1938-84 session. This arrangement promises much for Greenville Wom an's College. The organizations will send the names of tftelr officers di rectly to Mrs. J. D. Hughey, Chair man of the Executive Board of the Alumnae Association. This is thr ^irst time that a College Official h*?^ been duly authorized by the G. W. C Alumnae Association to perfect Toca1 units of the state association. In thir manner a net-work of communicatior will be established and it will then be possible for the Alumnae (the As sociation) to accomplish great thingr for the college. At the meeting of the Association February 8, it was decided to get t< work on refurnishing the "Lonj Parlor" which will, when completed be dedicated to the memory of the late Miss Lula Cagle of beloved memory. This is the first step in carrying out the resolution of th' Association to restore all memorials The next step contemplated is thr placing of a permanent marker in honor of Dr. Charles S. Gardner former pastor of the First Baptist Church of Greenville. It is knowr to many in the city of Greenville ar to many in South Carolina and else where that Dr. Gardner raised thr money for the first auditorium th college ever owned. This act on the part of the Alum nae Association in one way of pre nerving and handing down the his tory and tradition of which the Alum nae and other friends of Greenville Woman's College are Justly proud There are other memorials to be re ptored and each will be taken up ar rapidly as 'reasonably possible. Effort has been made by some members of the Department of Eng lish' at G. W. C. to enlist the interest of the students ' in doing original re search work on the histroy of Green vllle Woman's College. This is not only an excellent exercise for thr students, but the results will doubt less be some valuable papers for th< Kershaw Co.

BAN OF BILLBOARDS Drastic action against the billboard nuisance is reported from the pro vince of Ontario, Canada, where strict regulations are being enforced in pur suance of a recently enacted law. I4 is said that existing billboards are be ing removed at the rate of about 100 a week. The Ontario law prohibits the erec tion of billboards on the public high ways, and even, forbids the paintinp of advertising on bams or othei buildings near the roadside. Signr erected by a person on his own prop erty are restricted in size and arr subject to a tax. No billboards may be erected at turns in the road, an** old, unsightly signs must be cleaned up or removed. Enforcement of the new regulations has already made a marked improve ment in the appearance of the coun tryside, and the absence of billboardr will tend to reduce the number of tra' fic accidents, it is believed. Regula tions similar to those established ir Ontario are being adopted in other Canadian provinces and might well be extended to the United States. . - - - , Correct this sentence: "I have no difficulty in dealing with women, be cause I understand them. college archives ?
