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."

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

The automobile world has now a
new "Ace," a real spf.ed demon. 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 ^
