TWO LAWYERS | FACECHARGES - C. J*. Sims and L. G. Southard Involved W. W. Rhame Claims They Are .Wrongfully Withholding $2,000 From Him. (The Carolina Citizen) C. P. Sims and L. G. Southard, well known lawyers of Spartanburg, have been summoned to appear before the state supreme court in Columbia on December 30 to show cause why they should not be made to pay to W. W. Rhame, the sum of $2,000, which h.? claims they are wrongfully with holding from him. Rhame was convicted at a recent term of the court on the charge of keeping a disorderly house and was given an alternative sentence of 12 months imprisonment or a fine of $1,000. He claims that he had employed Sims and Southard as his attorneys, and had paid them their stipulated fee, when they i"-j formed him that they could get him out of the trouble upon the payment of a fine of $3,000. He says he gave them the money, and later, when he learned that the fine was onlv 11.000. \ lie demanded the return of the $2,000. which they have refused to pay him. He has employed R. J. Gantt and Cornelius Otts as his attorneys in the acticn against his former attorneys. Messrs. Sims and Southard deny the allegation made by Rhame, and claim that he paid the $3,000 for professional services and that they do not owe him anything. Rhame's complaint, upon which Sims and Southard were cited to appear before the supreme court, follows: "Your petitioner would respectfully show until this honorable 1 court that on or about the 8th day of May, 1922, he was arrested by Rural ' Policeman J. B. Cooksey and others, 1 on the charge of maintaining a disorderly place and put up a cash bond "\ of $100, which was accepted by the said J. B. Cooksey in lieu of committing your petitioner to jail. "On the night following, one L. G. J Southard came out to your petitioner's r place of business and recommended himself to your petitioner as being a lawyer, the said L. G. Southard at * that time being unknown to the peti- ~ tioner. The said L. G. Southard : further stated petitioner, and said I that C. P. Sims would be associated j L with him in the case (both of whom c; are officers of the court), and that . they would roDresent vour netitinnpr 11 in all the courts both state and fed- r eral for a fee of $100, and your peti- ^ tioner agree to pay said fee, and has > paid all fees, including printing case, 3 etc., for which this petitioner has re- b ceipt. "Some days thereafter your petiti:.Tr W_a3 a^a'n *rre?ted on a ^^B^^SSgeof^Eonng^wnTsJcey in viola- "" tic a of law, and brought to the 5 county jail of Spartanburg. At this time your petitioner sent for Thomas M. Lyles, Esq., who told your petitioner on account of his being associated with I. C. Blackwood, Esq., so- 0 licitor of the se- enth circuit, he could f not handle the case, but he would see s about arranging bond for your peti- 0 tioner and left the jail. <| "Immediately thereafter C. P. Sims t came in and told your petitioner that thdre would be two oases, one in the t United States court and one in the stute court, and that he would represent him in both, cases in all the j, courts for a fee of $200, making $300 in all and then in addition would ^ charge petitioner $150 for carrying J, the appeal to the supreme court. ! t When petitioner was admitted to bail,! ( lie paid E. C. Wrightson $50 for going j j his bend and to secure the said . Mr. Wrightson for going said bond executed a mortgage on his premises ! for the amount of your petitioner's bond, to wit, $1,000. ' "Thereafter petition was tried on July 28, 1922, before the Hon. Tho* S. Sease, presiding judge, and cor ed and sentenced, to be confine, the county jail at hard labor upon the public works of Spartanburg county for a period of three years, or that you be confined at hard labor in the state penitentiary for a like period. From this sntence and jud^mdnt your petitioner appealed to the supreme court, and the appeal was perfected, your petitioner paying for the printing of the record as shown by the checks. After the appeal had been docketed in supreme court for a hearing, the Hon. T. P. Stoney, who had been employed by Dallas Cam, a brother-in-law of petition to assist in the case, together with L. G. Southard, conferred with Solicitor Blackwood in the city of Columbia in reference to this case, and it was agreed that the hearing of the case would be continued for a week and Solicitor Blackwood would recommend the sentence be changed so as to allow your petitioner to pay $3,000 as an alternative. "After your petitioner came back from Columbia, so he is informed and believes, the sentence of the court was re-opened, and the folowing sentence imposed by Hon. C. J. Rammage, special presiding judge, on December 7, 1022: "The sentence of the court is that you, W. W. Rhame, be confined in the county jail at such labor as you ' -Ll- nnnn tha nnHlio itrv UUIC IV pci ivi 111 U|?/.. ,uv j works of Spartanburg: county for a period of three years, or that you be confined in the state penitentiary at , such labor as you are able to perform for a like period, and pay a flue of $3,000. This sentence is suspended during; your good behavior upon the payment of $1,000 and upon your ? leaving Spartanburg county, and a discontinuance of lodging room* at your place of business now being opI { erated on the public highway between Spartanburg and Roebuck and known a* Rhame Park, and further that you 1 never operate a similar place of 1 amusement in Spartanburg county or anywhere elae." "That previous to thia change of sentence, oh November 23, 1922, your petitioner gave to C. P. Sims, Esq., his check on the First National Bank of Spartanburg, S. C., for $3,000, with which to pay the agreed alternate sentence, which check was 1 cashed by said C. P. Sims; Solicitor 1 Blackwood having agreed in Colum- ' b!a to nl'ow ycur petitoner to pay a ' "no of $3,000 in lieu of serving on ' he public works; and your petitioner is informed and believes that the 1 change frcm a $3,000 sentence to $1,- 1 000 was agreed upon later, nnd the 1 sentence was opened during the spe- 1 cial term of court held by Hon. C. J. 1 Hairage, ,and the last sentence im- ' posed by Judge Ramage on the 7th 1 day of December, 1922. "That after the $1,000 was paid 1 according to the new sentence, your p titionvir went to C. P. Sims. Esq.. and demanded that he refund to im the $2 000 which had not been v used in paying said fine, this petilioner ha\ing given C. P. Sims a f heck for $3,000 before the revised ^ sentence was imposed by reason of v his agreement with Solicitor Black- v wood, understanding at that time hat his sentence would be $1,000; and 1 is sorn as your petitioner learned l.at the sentence was reduced to $1,- A j(i0 he demanded a refund of the $2,)00 by the said C. P. Sims. C. P. Sims refused ts refund the $2,000, and ;l aid, "You know I paid the money ( v ut." P "Thereafter, on Saturday, Decern- 1 ber 9, C. P. Sims came to petitioner's place of business near Spartanburg, r and said, "I understand that you have 1 .,aid I had to pay Blackwood $1,000 r to get that thing fixed," or words to 111 hat effect. I said to him, "Mr. Sims, ,v [ said nothing of the kind, but I do ' >vant the $2,000 of my fine which the P i urt suspended." Mr. Sims said, ' You know I paid it out to that '' >nd got in his car and drove away. v ,Ie seemed to be excited and would .ot talk to your petitioner. Wherefore, your petitioner, having 9 tated substantially what occurred, n ?uys this honorable court that it is- K ue its rule requiring the said C. P. Jims and the said L. G. Southard to -fhow cause before this honorable ourt at such time and place as this ? r.e or both of them should not pay o your petitioner the said $2,000 be. a ng the sum represented by the suaitnded sentenced imposed by the Hon. f J.

"They utterly ignored the deli- n ate relationship between foreign ' rade and exchange and they demand- i id that exchange should be so reguated as to be convenient and ad vanageous both to the importer and ex- >a jorter. The expansion of currency ' is an inevitable outcome of a pre- 11 ponderance of exports, as was wit- v messed during the war." ' He declared that what is most >> ded is the cultivation of know- ri jge in economic affairs among the people and the line of economic policy " to be followed by Japan, adding: "The position of Japan is such that -i without foreign trade she can hardly > get along. In this respect Japan is more like England than the United >States. Industrial development is no * doubt necessary for Japan but this ' can scarcely be expected without -1 building up a healthy foreign trade." i "WORSE THANPAIN" ?

Morgan City, La.?"It would be hard for me to tell how much benefit I have derived from the use of Cardui," said Mrs. I. O. Bowman, of 1319 Front Street, this city. "I was so run-down in health I could ' hardly go. I was thin. I had n<< appetite. Could not rest or sleep well ' I was so weak, and so very nervous, 1 was no pleasure to myself. "I suffered some pain, but the worst of my trouble was from being so weak and easy to get tired and out of heart "This nervous condition was worse then pain.

Cardul, today, NC-144 - Not For Solo (From Success Magazine) A man is not judged so much by what he accomplishes as by what he tries to do and the way in which he meets obstacles and difficulties. The great thing is not to allow the storms, the hurricanes, the tornadoes which have swept through our lives and destroyed our property to wreck our hopes and our beliefs also. The supreme thing is not to permit the accidents of life to kill our spirit, to desi roy our belief in God, our faith in ourselves and in others. No matter what has happened to your home or to your business, no natter what has happened to humiliite you, to make you seem like a failire in the eyes of others, just resolve hat there are certain things in your ife which can't be taken away from . nil vnnr Knl ir f *? ?? j ^ jkm. wwnvi. /uuiavu, yuur uu* icf in vour mission, and your deternination, no matter how long: it takes, v what the conditions, to make your Ireams come true. Don't allow the unfortunate things t'hich have happened to you to mar r wipe out the good things, the ruits of your manly efforts, your onest endeavors; don't allow the failres, the misfortunes, the disasters ,hich have come to you to kill your pirit. Don't let anything that has appened tempt you to lower your tandards or to do anything that culd mar your self-respect. There is the test of a real man?to land, true to principle amid the torms and wrecks of life, not to try > save yourself, no matter what your redicament, by crooked methods or icky games. In other words, you prove your lanhood when you let everybody who nows you see that there is something i you that is not for sale; that, no latter how you are buffeted by the inds of misfortune, there is somcting in you that it is not to be conit* red, something bigger than anyling that is trying to down you, ' ronger than any unkind destiny J hich would thwart your life purpose.

( In reporting a resolution providing >r the adoption of a higher minimum ( ilary, Charles H. Compton of St. auis, chairman of the salaries contittee, stated that better salaries ere necessary if the public library as to hold its place as an educaonal agency and that the cost of livig should be considered in fixing tho .inimum. "Library salaries must bi Jjusted to meet the competition of usiness, teaching and other profesions that more qualified persons may e attracted to the work," he said. "The committee believes," Mr. iompton added, "that an assistnt with a college education nnd one ear's training should receive not less han $1620 per year; with less than full college education and one ear's training, at least $1380, and a u/iUaaI orlupotinn qnH nn?> ear of training in a library training lass not less than $1200 per year." In urging the adoption of a reso ution for certificates, similar to hose granted teachers, Frank K. Valter, librarian of the University of Minnesota, and chairman of the committee, stated that he believed such tction would in time limit profeslional librarianship to those with cal qualifications. "It is not the the plan of the committee to force state legislation proding for this but to adopt standards vhich could be used by those adminstrative units desiring to obtain lo al legislation providing for a cgrti*ed librarian," he reported.
