South Carolina dentists in session at the Jefferson Hotel adopted a reso lution calling on the South Carolina Medical Association to appoint a com mittee to confer with a committee from the dentists appointed for the purpose of framing a bill > and pre senting it to the next legislature making medical and dental inspec tion of school children compulsory. This resolution was adopted after a paper on “Medical Inspection of Pub lic Schools” had been read by Dr. E. C. Dye, secretary of the association and members had participated in a lively discussion. The dental associ ation feels confident the medical body will cooperate with it in asking the general assembly to pass a law re quiring all children of the state to be examined before entering school.

Swearingen, state superin tendent of education, said. “With tne development of an adequate. school system this number (of districts) should be reduced, but this reduction should come through growth and not through force. The Law’s Delay. Six times found guilty of murder and sentenced to lose his life in ex piation of his alleged crime, and six times saved from death by a reversal of judgment by the supreme court, is the unusual story of Willie Bethone a negro who was convicted of murder in May. 1909, artd sentenced to die in June. 1909/ And in the list of decis ions handed down by the state su preme court appears the following: “The state vs. Willie Bethune. .Judg ment reversed.’’ All of which means that he has another lease on life.
