Two Kinds of Justice.
America has not yet learned
from th?? mother country all that
is worth knowing. Over there
they still do some things better
than we do them in this country.
For instance, the man accused of
i crime and placed on trial in an
English court, whether he be a
friendless wanderer* or of the
nobility, is certain to receive ex
act, even-handed justice in the
disposition of his case. Neither
wealth, social standing nor political
power can be relied upon
as a refuge of escape for the
man accused of violating the law
in England. If the defendant
is found guilty, he receives a
sentence commensurate with the
enormity of his offense. The
a laws are not placed in the statPutes
of England for the punishment
of poor white folk and
"niggers," with the understanding
that they are to be inope rative
against the rich and powerful.
If there is discrimination
in arty degree of punishment for
offenders, it is in behalf of the
poor and friendless, on the theory
that more should .be expected
of the well-to-do members of
society.
Not so in America. Take the
case of Truman H. Newberry
for instance. Newberry is a
senator of the United States
from Michigan?that is, he is the
occupant of a seat in the senate
accredited to that State. Newberry
is accused of having debauched
the- electorate of Michigan
in securing more votes than
his opponent, Henry Ford, and
is now facing a federal jury in
Grand Rapids on criminal charges
which should send him to the
' penitentiary if he is convicted.
Newberry may or may not be
guilty; there possibly is room
for difference of opinion as to
that; but there is scarcely any
room for difference of opinion
as to whether he will ever cool
his heels as a convict, knowing
how we do things in this coun.
try.
Many people who were in position
xto observe the virulence
of the influenza epidemic and its
consequent heavy death toll in
this section in 1918 are skeptical
when it is suggested that the affection
now prevalent in many
communities is a recurrence of
that disease. The newspapers,
??VTT VT VI I UU I1IUVII llV/ UIVIU |JUL'IIL
opinion and the average man,
havjng recently read the glaring
headlines about the number of
Victims of the disease, in this or
that town, has made up his mind
that, another epidemic of influenza
is abroad in the land and
nothing will convince him to the
contrary. Meanwhile there is
the question in the minds of
many whether the closing of the
public schools and churches in
this section does more harm than
good.
Many Cases of Influenza.
For the last week Fort Mill has
been under a more or less strict
quarantine' against the spread of
influenza, the local board of
health having issued an tyder
last Wednesday closing the i>uh
lie schools, churches, moving: picture
theater and warning: against
public gatherings of any kind.
The disease has continued to
spread, however, notwithstanding
this precautionary measure.
In a number of instances whole
families have been stricken with
the disease and there have been
several cases of pneumonia, but
up to the present time there have
been no deaths traceable to the
disease and it is thought that
conditions will warrant the raising
of the quarantine within the
next day or two.

The bill provides for a dual
system of State and county highways,
but is silent as to the material
which shall constitute the
roads. It provides that the State
highway department will construct
the system of State highways
linking up the county seats
of the State, covering such main
arteries of the State as the commission
deems advisable. With
the consent of the county authorities
the highway commission
will have the right to lay out
county systems of roads, the cost
of construction to be pai^ out of
county funds, and the county to I
retain the title to the roads and
.bridges.
A provision of the bill is that
beginning with next year all automobiles
weighing 2,000 pounds
or under shall pay an annual license
of $6 and an additional tax
of $2 for every additional 500
pounds. The measure provides
a license fee of $10 a year for
one ton trucks, $20 for two ton
trucks, $50 for three ton trucks,
$100 lor four ton trucks. $300
lor five ton trucks, $500 lor six
ton trucks, $1,000 for trucks of
seven tons or over. Each motorcycle
must pay an annual tax of
$5. Dealers' license are $25 annually
for the first make of motor
driven vehicles sold and $15
for each additional r.i<*ke Of
the amount accruing from the
license tax 80 per cent, is to be
spent in the county in which it
originated for the maintenance
of the State system in those
counties. Any surplus can be ^
used in the county for roads and
bridges in such manner as deci!j
