FIVE WAYS TO GET OUT OF JURY DUTY Daily Mail. Judge <ieorge E. Prince is holding court in Anderson this week, and this being grou^us .:?>? rrmce. he made iiis le'.rtark4 to liu grand and petty jurors thU mor::i::g just a lit Lie ir.ovo intimate a .4 tioii nite perhaps, than he would have to a jury Lii another county. Judge Prince charged the grand jury in a well constructed forcible address, an adJress which undoubtedly made a better citizen of not only the jurymen, but of every man who heard him speak. H2 charged the grand jury at length upon the schools of the county, telling* them that the effect of the discipline in the school days of a boy, reflects directly upon fthp law in later IZI^ UlrUbUUV ^V/ ? iVi ?..? life. "The child" said Jud.ee Prince, "who is undisciplined in his youth, will never meekly submit to the laws of the state. I would rather a boy of mine learn obedience in a school than absorb all the knowledge in the world. Knowledge, without discipline is a dangerous thing." ^ Following Judge Prince's charge to the grand jury and their retirement to consider the bills presented to them, he directed the clerk of court to call * r>Q11_ the petty jury, ruuuwiug mt VM?* ing of the petty jury. Judge Prince said: "This is the period at which I receive the excuses of those petty jurors desiring to be excused, but before these are brought to me, I want to address a few remarks to the jurymen. , "Among the many excuses offered to get out of jury duty, it seems to me strange that no one every offers the one best excuse; I have never had this excuse'offered me. The excuse ( is that the jurymen sought to be put on the jury. That sounds like an im' T ' Vnor/1 a possibilityj Dux x navt? uitcu ? ? man say that he wasn't going to vote for , because he hadn't been on the jury since he became clerk of court. That's an excuse that will get you off all right. "The next best excuse is that you are not making a sacrifice to serve on . the jury. If you are not worth more than $3.00 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 these days is not fit to pass upon the matters that would be submitted to him as a juryman. ' will akn "Illness in your lamuj excuse you. I don't need a doctor's certificate. If you are really needed at your home on account of illness to a member of your family, or it is highly desirable that you be at home, your affidavit will excuse you. If yqur affidavit is true, I want to excuse you, and if it is false, I wouldn't' have yc. on the jury under any conditions. A man who wouM Swear a . lie in order to get jut of jury duty, is not fit to perform duty which calls fjr life and death decisions. > "Don't tell me about business. I once had a man, who owned four ^ Ha cflirl stores as* to dc tAtuacu. Aiv. he wouldn't serve for.$25.00 a day. I found that he had two partners who could ta&e care of his business. He served. A man that has too much business is always"*liable toN have a case of his own in court. I am not no rg to excuse him f>r that alone. Why should I excuse 'him and then try his case with twelve good men, instead of a couple of crumplyhorns. ! "A man who is behind with his" plowing and whose mule will stand idle while he is at court can be ex-' eused. I'll be glad to excuse him. It's: not r. legal eatcuse, but it's good with me just at this time. ? > "Now, you all know how I feel about excusing you. Don't all speak at once." \ i WOOL IN PALESTINE j British Propose to Manufacture^ it Locally. j V Boston Transcript. : American distributors of carpet wools and carpet manufacturers,' formerly the largest handlers of wool from the sheep flocks of the Bedouin tribes who in the spring carried their products to the markets in lL- rinrts of Svria for dis LUC UVlu^iu ^ ? ,_v posal, will find interest in a recent British report concerning the same. * A recent issue of Palestine, organ cf the British Palestine committee, whose secretary is in London, says in part: I "The wool of Moran is good for carpet manufacture and is considered, on account of its strong threads, to be superior to any other kind. Washed wool is put up in bales of from 240 to 250 pounds (120 kgs.), and before the war its price was about 250 francs per kilogram. Some of fche wool was exported to France, Italy and Germany, but the bulk went J to the United States where it was useu in carpet manufacturing. ? "The centers of the wool trade were in Aleppo, Homs and Hama and aTnT^^Jjie whole wool produce of the country was brought to these towns to be sold. Worthy of mention, but * of far less importance, were the towns of Damascus and Jahl, and also certain places in the Lebanon. The exports of wool to the United States from the Aleppo vilayet were valued, according to American consular re x- 1Q10 of 9R0 and in j)orin uw _? 1913 S272.674. The annual wool trade in Aleppo, Homs and Hama amounted in value to an average of 5,000,000 francs, of which 60 per cent, went to Aleppo, 25 per cent, to Hama and 15 per cent, to Horns. Next in value came the wool trade ' of Damascus, the center for the produce of the Hauran and East Jordania. "Present day reports state that a large quantity of wool is to be ob' % * ' ? f* T tamed in the neighbornooa 01 Jerusalem. The wool could be cleaned, woven or spun in Palestine, a more profitable method than that which has been the practice in the past, of sending: it abroad for manufacture and then importing it into the countiy. There are 1^0 weavers. 50 of whom were encra.eed during the war in * alliance workshops when these * \ ' y ?-0 * Wonders of Burbank, Plant Wizard, Theme * * 1 i of Chautauqua Lecture | ; II 0 - . =# e U T!k* marvelous aciuovoiuenis < >t Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, tl will ho related to Redpath Chautau- , qua audiences this season.

His h, name is Tommy Milton, already fam- 0j enDdflwavc nr the COUIltrV. m UU3 Ult bJIb V. v 4lJ But his performance on the sandy ]c beach at Daytona, just completed, ti marks him as the pieient day auto- hi mobile speed king. Tommy has sue-.jr ceeded in clipping otY all the records g from one mile up to five miles set u last year by Ralph De Falma. -.5} Driving a Duesenberg car equip-1 al ped with Goodyear cords, he xlrove one mile in the really remarkable T time "of 23.7 seconds as against the si world's record of 24.2 seconds. He ti set a new world's record of two miles tl in 46.24 seconds; three miles-in one. r< minute 2:.l8 seconds; four miles in ti ? mu,ute 3^.14 seconds and five ri miles in onlv four seconds beyond the, ir - %r two minute mark. ! t< The establishment of these new 0: records in a great victory for Good- fc; year straight-side tires for Milton's p; big Duesenberg was equipped on all p four wheels with -these tires which de- ]c spite the terrible grinding they en- o: dured in setting up these new speed marks, hardly showed that they had tl been used at all. Few persons, ex cept those acquainted with tire performance, fully appreciate the terrible gruelling a tire must withstand. at a apeed of 156 miles an hour. ' L At the conclusion of these speed tests, Tommy Milton wired the Good- ~ year company that these new world's ^ records were made possible- by the wonderful performance of the Good- ^ year cords and said: "Owing to changing wheels to get different gear ratio I used fourteen tires during my , triqls. None were specially prepared ^ and many were hurriedly mounted but not once did I have any trouble J t ey T_? D of any nature with my tires, i nrnuy ? believe that three miles a minute j? speed is possible. It is solely up to ^ the motor builders, for Goodyear is ready with the tires. I would go af-! 5* ter such a record tomorrow with the " tires I used here in my record work." j ^ A CANDIDATE'S TROUBLE. t; e A candidate for the office of com- ? r.iLsionv. of a certain county in S Georgia is said to have filed the fol- o lowing itemized account of his ex- 1 penses in the campaign: jh "Lost 1,349 hours of sleep think- o niwut thp f.lraticn.
