During the evening a report was made of the splendid work being done by the Kiwanis girl at Chicora coll- iege. Miss Nancy Perry of Thornwell. Her report for the first semester shewed that she is intimately ac quainted with A’s and AA’s, and it made all the boys happy. Miss Nancy is being educated at Chicora by our club and she is an exceptionally fine and promising young woman. The wives of the Kiwanians “showered” her on Christmas with a box of lovely gifts for which she sent her thanks and appreciation. Gilbert Blakely, one of the best sec retaries in the Carolinas, was talking about dues and said he was prepared to grant absolute divorce to members who were derelict in either dues or attendance. All the boys had better pay up. The club now has 40 members and has escaped the ills incident to in fancy. Along with other organiza tions constituting International Ki wanis, the club has for its year’s work the following objects: To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relation ships. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards. To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship. To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic ser vice and to build better communities. To co-operate in creating and main taining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, pa triotism and good will. Just before adjournment.

Judge and lawyers were quickly located, but it was more than half an hour before Norris could be found. It was Norris’ third acquittal of a criminal charge. He was indicted in 1912 and 1913 on charges of arson and perjury in oonnection with The burn-, ing of his Fort Worth church and par sonage.

But I am sorry to say that today, in many cases, the young man’s gift is a flask of whis key.” Criticizing the slowness of the ma chinery of the courts, Judge Johnson referred to a notorious homicide case in the state, the man under charges of murder twice condemned to death but again seeking postponement of his case for the reason that his wife was shortly to become a mother. Jn his own observation, he declared, he had known of a case in which the defense attorney had stated he knew how ev ery juror stood before the trial was entered upon. “It has been, it is be ing done, and we all know it,” declar ed Judge Johnson, asking: “What chance has society for'protection, what chance has the law, against such condition?” “I am speaking plainly,” declared Judge Johnson, “and when the day shall come when as a judge -I cannot speak plainly, I shall*resign from the bench.” Speaking further of homicides, the judge stated that he knew of a man being acquitted on a charge of mur der on a self-defense plea when his victim was actually unarmed, in his shirt sleeves and running away from his slayer. “Human life is too cheap in South Carolina,” he reiterated, and men have been murdered for a dime.” One of the causes of outlawry in this state, he declared, is illiteracy. A survey of the prisons some time ago showed that 85 per cent of the crim inals never had advanced higher than the third grade at school. He bitter ly condemned 1 confusing license with liberty and said that even men. in high places spoke of personal* liberty when, in point of fact, they meant ffersonai license. Concluding, Judge Johnson warned that he would not be approached re garding the merits of any case out side the court room and wbuld not lis ten to any plea except as made before the bench.
