OF SOUTH CAROLINA ARE
APPROACHING OLD AGE.

Columbia.
Washington (Special), ? According
to the census of 1920, 40.8 per cent,
or about two-fifths of the people in
the state of South Carolina are either
infants or children under 15 years of
age: 10.9 per cent are young people
15 to 19 years old; 33.8 per cent,
about one-third, are men and women
in the prime of life, being from 20
to 44 years old; while 14.4 per cent,
being. 45 year of age and over, are
well along in middle life if they have
not reached old age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the percentage
20 to 44 years of age being
43.2 for the urban population as compared
with 31.8 for the rural, while
the percentage under 15 years of age
is 30.2 in the urban population as
against 43.1 in the rural. These differences
may indicate larger families
of children in the country than
in the city, but probably indicate also
the fact that country children as they
grow up have a tendency to flock to
the cities, thereby increasing the active
adult population of the cities at
the expense of the rural districts.
Patrons Want Trains Restored.
The Augusta-Aiken railway case
took a new turn with the filing with
the state railroad commission of a
petition from patrons of the railroad
asking for the reinstatement of
trains taken off by the railroad company
under a recent order of the
commission.
The petition, which was signed by
approximately 100 patrons of the
railroad, requests the restoration of
all trains taken off under the commission's
order. This order, which
reduced the service given by the
company by one-half, was Issued by
the railroad commission following a
hearing by the commission on a petion
of the railroad company for a
60 per cent increase in fares, needed,
the company claimed, to meet a deficit
existing between the receipts and
operating expenses of the line. The
commission, however, refused to allow
the petitioned increase and instead
ordered th? company to reduce
operating expenses by cutting its
' service in half.
Wife Pleads for Husband.
Mrs. S. J. Kirby, her 11-year-old
? daughter and other members of her
family and her husband's family
s ught executive clemency from Governor
Cooper for S. J. Kirby, convicted
of murder and sentenced to death
by electrocution for his part in the
brutal killing of William Brazell,
young Columbia taxi driver.
Mrs. Kirby told Gov. Cooper her
husband often appeared to be sufforinp*
frnm insanitv and she pleaded
for his life. Mrs. Kirby is in hopes
that the governor will at least commute
the sentence of death against
her husband to life imprisonment.
? Railroad Company Chartered.
The McClellanville and Santee
Railroad company of McClellanville
was chartered by the secretary of
, state with a capital stock of <50.000
(minimum) and $100,000 (maximum).
The company, according to the petition
filed, will operate a railroad
from McClellanville in Charleston
, county to Jamestown in Berkeley
county, an approximate distance of
20 miles.
The petition also sets forth that
the company may use either electricity
or steam in operating its line
and may generate electricity for sale
to the public if it so desres. The
road will be standard gauge.
One Parole and One Pardon.
Marlboro county in 1917 of man^
slaughter and sentenced to serve
fceven years in prison, was paroled
W during good behavior by Governor
f Cooper. Authorities of Marlboro
county represented to the governor
"* that Stevenson was in exceedingly
noor health and woul dprofably not
live out his sentence.
Alonzo Robertson, convicted in
Laurens county in March, 1917, of
stealing cotton and sentenced to
* serve 60 days' imprisonment, was
pardoned to restore his citizenship.
Murderers in Death Cell.
' Jesse Oappins. C. O. Fox and S.
J Kirbv. the three men under sentence
of death in the electric chair,
on October 21. for the murder of William
Brazell. Columbia taxi driver,
are in the death cell at the state penitentiary.
and all is quiet following
the -trial of one of the most sensational
cases in this state in several
years The men were brought l?aek
to the sta'e prison, flowing the imposition
of sentence by Judge Seas*
presiding at Lexington term of sessions
court.
Jackson Vocational School.
Car?9 %Kkson's stock as the
possible location of one of the four
big government vocational training
schools was given a decided boost in
the passage of a resolution indorsing
the selection ?f the camp for this
purpose, introduced .at the state cor
ventioli of the American Legion at
N?wherry The resolution was passed
without a dissenting vote.
Copies of the resolution will he sent
to Secretary of War Weeks and to
Col Charles Forbes, director of the
veterans bureau.
Passing of Special Courts.
Special courts to try individual
case*^ or several pending cases will
6oon he past issues in South Carolina,
according to the opinion of those in
touch with legal matters in the state,
this being due to the decision of the
supreme court in the Gossett case
when the court declared that a fair
trial could not be had at these special
terms.
The court granted Gossett a new
trial and plainly said a defendant
could not get his constitutional rights
at such a court. This decision by the
high tribunal practically abolishes the
law under which all special court*
have been called in the past number
of years, and makes the calling or
special terms in the future hardly
worth while, it is said.
At present the solicitor asks the
covernor for a special term of court
and it is usually ordered, and this is
the section of law that Justice Cothran
takes to task so severely in his
opinion on the Gossett case.
During the present week a special
term of court has been in session
at Spartanburg and attorneys here express
doubts as to the validity of ct#victions
at the term. The opinion in
the Gossett case says nothing about
civil court, and it is presumed that
the court makes no objection to these
actions.
Death of Colonel Duncan.
Col. D'Arcy Paul Duncan, a former
member of the state railroad commission,
died at his residence after an
illness of only a few days. Colonel
Duncan was 75 years old and had
been a resident of Columbia since
1904, when he severed his connection
with the railroad commission.
A youthful soldier during the closing
days of the Confederate war, for
many years a successful planter, a
public official of Union county, a
former member of the state railroad
commission, a former president of the
State Fair association, secretary and
later manager of the Alliance exchanpe?these
and other positions and
services had 4nade Colonel Duncan
one of the best known men in South
Carolina, his death causing profound
sorrow throughout the state.
Motor Fees Aid Counties.
Counties in the state have so far
received a little over a half million
dollars from the 80 per cent motor
vehicle license fund, this sum being
returned to the various county treasuries
as provided by law. according
to figures compiled through Augmt
| by L. H. Thomas; secretary of the
I n?ntn hi<rVtu-av f>ntYimission. Mr. Thorn
as announced that the total collections
to date for 1921 has reached $727.507.06
and of the amount $576,631.29
was accrui-ble to the counties.
Greenville county leads the entire
state with $4S.6S3.91 returned from
the sale of licenses, while Richland
is second with $45,231.06 and Spartanburg
is third with $38,312.11. Charleston
comes fourth with $37,437.99
and Anderson is fifth with $35,611.28.
Counties Get Motorcycles.
State highway department officials
have been advised by the war department
that 22 Indian motorcycles at
Camp Jackson are to be turned over
to the department for use by the
counties to which they are allotted.
The machines are first to be overhauled
and then the highway department
will distribute them where they are
most needed.
The machines coming through the
department of agriculture, bureau of
public roads, by orders of the war
department, will be used partly for
police officers and other work.
Admission to State Fair Less.
Admission to the state fair will be
75 cents this year as against $1 last
year, acording to D. F. Efird, secretary.

in entry fees nor in charges for stall
room. The entry fees for field crops
will be 10 per cent of the first premium
offered and for horses $3. The
stall rents will be $2 for cattle and
$1 for swine.

warden from these sales in the last
few days.
