In last week's issue of Tho Courier -wo lot an error "slip by" that has created a very wrong impression as to expenditures being made by tho County Highway Commission. The law linn of Shelor & Hughs was olectod to represent the com mission and advise witli them in tho matters that como boforo them. Tho compensation of these attorneys is $250 per yoar, but our linotype man got too liberal with bis figure fives, making the compensation for these attorneys read "$2550* instead of M$250." The error*slipped by tho proof-reader, and wont through tho entire issue unnoticed by us. But others noticed it at once, and we are glad lo make Hie correction at Ibis our iirst opportunity. Of course we regret the necessity of taking $2.300 away from tho at torneys, but this regret is moro than compensated for by reason of saving our commissioners a Uko sum. JU DOM PRINCE TALKS TO JURY About Excuses thal' Would Cot a Man oil the Panol. (Anderson Mail, 10th.) Judge George B. Prince is holding Court in Anderson this week, and this being "homo grounds" for Judge Prince, he made his remarks to tho grand and petit Jurors this morning just a little more intimuto and defi nite perhaps than he would nave to a jury in another county* Judge Prince charged the grand jury in a well constructed, forcful address-an address which un doubtedly made better citizens of not only the Jurymon, but of evory man wno hoard him speak. He charged tho grand Jury at length upon the schools of the county, telling thom that the effect of tho discipline in the school days of a boy reflects directly upon bis attitude towards the law in later years. "Tho child," said Judge Prince, "who is undisciplined in his youth will never meekly submit to Hie laws of tho State. I would rather J; boy of mine learn obodience in a .school than absorb all the knowledge in the world. Knowledge without dis cipline is a dangorous thing." Following Judge Frinco's charge to the grand jury and their retire inent to consider the bills presented to them, ho directed the Clerk of? Court to call the petit jury. Follow lng the calling of tho jury Judge Prince said: "This ls the period at which I re ?oive tho excuses of those petit Jur ors desiring to be excused, but bo-j fore these aro brought to me I want to address a fow remarks to tho Jury 'snen: "Among the many excuses offered to got out of Jury duty, lt seems to mo strange that no ono over offers tho ono best excuso-1 hnve never had this excuso offorod mo. The ex cuse is that tho Juryman sought to bo put on tho Jury. That sounds Uko! an impossibility, but I have often heard a man say that he wasn't go ing to vote for-because he hadn't been on tho Jury since ho be came Clerk of Court. That's an ex cuse that will get you off all right. "The next best oxcuso is that you are not making a sacrifice to serve or. the jury. If you aro not worth more than the a day you'd draw as a juryman I don't want you. Any man who can't make more than that on his .farm tbeso days ls not fit to pass upon ibo matters that would be submitted to him as a Juryman. "Illness in your family will also excuse you.-I don't need a doctor's certificate, if yon aro roally needed nt your home on account of illness to a member of your family, or if it ls highly d?sira bio that you bo at home, your affidavit will excuse you. If your affidavit is true, I want to excuse you. and if it is falso I would not have yon on the Jury nuder any conditions, A man who would swear a Ho in order to got out of Jury duty is not fit to perform a duly which calls for life and death decisions. '"Don't toll mo about business. I onco had a man who owned four I Stores ask to be excused. 'Ho said ho wouldn't servo for $2fi a day. I found that be bad two partners who could take care of Ibo business. He served. A man who has too much business ls silways^iablo to havo a caso of his own in court. I am not going to ex cuse him on thai alone. Why should 2 excuse him and then try his case .with 'Welvo gcod mon instead of a couple of erumply-horns? JJA man who is behind with his plowing, and whose mule will stand !dle while ho ls at court, can bo ex cused. I'll bo glad to excuse him. It's not a legal excuse, but lt's good with mo Just at thl'j time. "Now, you all know Just how I feel about oxcusing you. Don't all speak nt once." .j.

Knight, of Senoca Route i, was In Walhalla yesterday endea voring to make arrangements for a settlement for ono of his mulos, the animal having fallon through a bridge, receiving somo severe inju ries, (hough, so far as could be as certained, no bones bad been bro ken. The animal will bo out of ser vice for some timo, it is thought. Mr. Knight had sent his team to Seneca for a ton of cotton seed hulls, and on the return trip homo ono mule, in crossing the bridge "on the road leading from Seneca to tho Return section, knocked loose some boards that had boon laid over bolos, and all four of Its feot went through tho bridge. In endeavoring to extricate Itself tho animal was badly skinned up. and yostorday morning was too stiff and sore to bo put to work. Mr. Knight says that he paid $7 00 for the pair of mules that were hoing driven lu the team. Fortunately nn (di wagon and another team were near at bund, and the drivers of ihe.se teams lent assistance, enabling Mr. Knight's driver to extricate his mule. The bridge where the accident occurred ls what ls known as a high land bridge, there being but little water at the place except In rainy weather. -The members of the County Highway Commission met yesterday morning at the Court House, all the members being present, as wore also Clerk McDonald, Attorneys Shelor and Hughs Chief Engineer ?

Bonds to the amount of $100,000 will be offered for sale July 1st, 1920, and the commission reserves tho right to reject any and all bids. The. com mission borrowed the sum of $1,000 for a period of sixty days, interest at rate of six per cont, this money to be used to meet necessary cash ex penditures until the bond money may be gotten in hand. The $1,000 at six per cont was loaned by the Bank of Walhalla. White Hoy Killed by Negro. Pineland, S. C.. May 5.-Vannfs P.
