Tp the Voter*, of the 8th Circuit s There is no more important office in these four' counties of Newberry, Abbeville, Greenwood and Laurens than that of Solicitor. The man_ elected should be willing, to devote a large part of his time to thie office. Cases are frequently lost l)y the Solicitor not being on the spot to help the sheriff sift, out the facts and in otherwise not properly prepar ing the case for trial. If elected, I will attend all inquests when notified and about ten days before the Court of General Sessions convenes in each CLINTON SCHOOLS OPEN SEPT. tST Th^ folfowing/information pertain ing to the’opening of'the Clinton city' schoolsyfor 'the,-njeK 1936-37 session has been furnished The Chronicle: All the schools of the eystem will begih off Tuesday, Sept. 1, at “ 8:40 a.m., at which time pupils will be ex- pecfedT to report to ‘ ^their respective schools and grades. "Pupils who failed and did not at tend summer school, and have been studying under an approved teacher, may report at.-9 a.m., Monday, Aug ust 31, at their respective buildings fo^ re-examinations. To be eligible for a re-examination the pupils must present a note from the teacher stat ing the class of work done and the length of time studied. All buildings have been carefully repaired. All desks have been cleaned and painted and every precaution hg.s been taken to put all buildings in county, I will go to the sheriff’s of fice in that county and confer with'first class shape so that worjcing conf these officers in regard to cases to be ditions for all ^tudents and teachers wi‘11 lie the best possible. Never before tried at the next term of criminal court, for the purpose of familiariz ing myself with these cases, and con sulting with the sheriff concerning the witnesses to 'be used jh the trial of same. If elected Solicitor,, all cases handed .to, me by. the grandjUitX ..Y-iU, .hp band-, led without favor or partiality, re gardless of whom the defendant may be. I will do my best to raise the price of human life in this circuit by painstaking and thorojligh prepara tion of evidence from the beginning and by vigorous and prompt prosecu- tmn to trial of all murder cases and cases of'attempted murder. I expect to use common sense in the administration of this pob. The yardstick by which this common nen.se will be measured will rrot be how the disposition or continuance of a case or a certain class of cases will affect me personally in being elected or re-elected, or how a particular friend may be convenienced, but it shall be based on the upholding of the law in that particular community affected, which in my opinion as a general^ rule is best upheld by prompt trial oif the defendant, ^ At the first'meetinj^^pf the candi dates for Solicitor in Newberry, it was unanimously agreed that the can didates in this race should noi direct ly or indirectly offey^ to give or en gage to pay any gum of * money or other valuable consideration to anotV er, in order to induce such other per son to procure for him, by his inter est, influence or any other means whatsoever, ^is office. I have kept ?rpent and intend to keep it /■ this agree strictly dicing my candidacy for So licitor. / I graduated from Furman Univer sity m 1927 and then entered Fur- man/lJniversity law school -where. I _ graduated in 1929. I worked in one of the best law offices in Greenville-for years before moving to Abbeville / where.

WordsT Commonly The Lions club of Clinton was host Friday evening to about thirty-five farmers of the community at a meet ing arranged especially in their hon or.' Each member of the club invited a farmer and introduced him to the gathering. H. L. Eichelberger, presi dent' of the club, presided, and Robert S. Owens, local attorney, welcomed the guests. Music for the occasion was furnish ed by Mrs. J. F. Jacobs, Jr. C. B. Cannon, county agent, was the speaker of the evening. He |ip- pealed to the .farmers to pursue a di versified form of agriculture, saying this included having on the farm cows, Irogs and chicken for home use. ‘‘The chief objective at present in Laurens county/’-Mr. Cannon _said, “is soil conservation.’’ He said that two terracing outfits are now at work in the county serving farmers and that interest has reached a high point, the machines being unable to keep up wjtb the demand for them. Mr. Cannon appealed for a closer cooperation between farmers and bus iness men of the. community, saying that as the farmers in any commu nity prosper so will business houses in town reap benefit. The guests were: Mrs. Annie H. Dunlap, Mrs. Reese Young, W. R. Pitts, E. F. Anderson, W. P. Dickson, John E. Smith, G. F. Buford, J. H. Watts, Ryan Lawson, V. E. Shealy, TV D.

Nettles. “How \Jrill you be tried?” Nettled queried. “My €k)d and my country,” the Ne gro answered in the legal ritukl upon prompting of defense attorneys. “May God grant you true deliver ance,” the solicitor concluded. Judge Donald Phillips set the trial for Wednesday morning and ordered a special venire. J'he Negro who confessed, Sheriff Laurens Brown said, to slaying the pretty blonde student, was arraigned , only on the murder charge, although the grand jury shortly before had re turned i^wo true bills. One charged murder, the other first tfegree bur-^ glary. Both are capital crimes. Moore, dressed in black trouser* and a black shirt crossed by light suspenders, sat with his court-ap pointed counsel and showed only slight interest in the preliminarie*. Sheriff Brown, former college foot ball tackle who led the three-week in vestigation of the slaying, was the first witness before the’grand jury. Brown was armed with a confession he said the prisoner made that he shot and beat Miss Clevenger to death early in the morning, of July 16 in her Battery Park hotej^room. The Negro detailed in the^nfes- sion, the sheriff said, that he entered the room bent upon robbery but «hot the young student when she threat ened to scream and telephone the ho tel office. .After shooting her. Brown said the Negro continued, he battered her about the face with the butt of the pistol. Other witnesses called before the Laurenif^ag. aervicB. es for Mrs. I^isy Owynne I Bowed Miller, 27, wife of Dr^ C. Mauiin MiL ler, were held at 6 o’clock Friday af ternoon from the home of Mrs. C. M. Miller, Sr» The rites were conducted by the Rev. E. D. Patton of the First Presbyterian church, and the Rev, W. D. Spinx of the First Baptist church.

In addi tion to her husband she is/survived by a lonrTday-oId infant daughter,_ Daisy/ Gwynne Miller; first bopi of ived by the family. She is also survi her father, John D. Bowen, of'Sum- mertpn; two brothers, James J. Bow en of Summerton, and John D.'Bow en, Jr., U.
