, ?.G0 A Ye., ?? Advance Second Class Milter at ?ffice at Camden, S. C. OF THE HOWELL^ , hearing .the" case of O. 1 and his wife, charged the murder of E. Hart Williams, pulair young business man of ir, did not take very long to a verdfct of guilty) for Howell not guilty for his wife, who was ' joihtly with him. This case at xi much attention not only, in .SJumteiv where the parties resided, tut throughout the state. Howell was convicted without recommendation to mercy, and was sentenced to dde in the electric chair August 22. To those Who followed this casp, it was <iiffi-' cult to see how Howell could escape conviction. He was unable to employ $ attoMieys to represent him so the ul court apoptinted two capable attorn ?| eyf to handle his ca8e and two were 'j0i appointed to represent Mrs. HowelL The jurors no doubt endeavored to do their duty and render a just verdict, gipfc There were some who thought that their verdict as to Howell would be what it proved to be and that'' Mr. Howell would be convicted* with a re p.'i commendjfttiqn to mercy. The pre ^ isence of her four amall children in the court room while she was being ; tried, and the testimony of the spec lif., ialiet that she had a mind of only a ?ji/. fourteen year old ahild, possibly had a K??<i deal to do with her acquittal. gA It was <no small matter to go and ?hoot down an innocent man without any chance whatever for an explana tion nor a chance to defend himself. Human life is too cheap in South |?v' Carolina, and certain punishment ; r ' should follow the unlawful taking of ?/? human life. We believe that the ' . 4 Sumter jurors trying this case are (to be commended in rendering the [$?'' v.edict they did. FARM ROADS AND SMALL TOWNS A nation-wide movement is under way to brinp^ about the construction, m on an extensive scale, of secondary or farm-to-market roads. So long as 75 per cent of American farmers W?' are cut off from their markets dur ing several months of each year by impassable tfoads, we will have an ?'kgricultural 'problem-" &ood ' second* ary roads would -benefit many pea sons besides farmers. Such roads would bring business to storekeepers in many small towns. They would allow the farmer to go 2?, or 50 mile J frr his necessities or amusements. They Would offer tourists the attract ion of new territory and freedom from traffic congtslion found on main highways. They would bring t i eater prosperity to the farmer and give him more money to spend. Brains, rock and a little asphalt can pull the farmer out of the mud for much less cost than the loss now mif fe-ed because of bad roads. SAFEGUARDING PROPERTY AND PERSONS Fire insurance and casualty insur ance are the safeguards of billions of dollars worth of property and mil lions of lives in the United States. Without these two agencies to pro tect property and persons, our coun ts y could never have devclo<p<;d as it has. The beginning of the twentieth century inaugurated a generation during which the world's manner of living has been revolutionized. Fire insurance has had to cover many risks which wore previously unheard of, while casualty insurance has grown from almost an unknown bus iness until, today it is Indispensable to human endeavors where labor or contact with fellow-beings is involv ed.. . ? These two elasess of insurance fur bish the basis of credit and protect ion for every home and business in the United States. They carry the ? risk for all business. ' . If one wishes to demonstrate what an outstanding part they play in our modern financial and industrial struc ture, try to operate an employing business without them. ? 1 ? 1 ? - AMERICAN PROGRESS DEPENDS ON "RAII*8" During the first third of 1930 the profit earned by the western rail roads was at the annual rate of three per cent return on the value of their Investment. The railroads of the ftT'; country as a whMe earned 3.03 rc>" "'j 'r:y. ?eht. ? f. In tih? same period last year, the v western lines earned profits on an annual basis of .5.28 per cent and the 1im>-? of the entire nation averanr*i 5.39. The depression which charac terised th ^beginning of 1930 was probably felt more severely by the railroads than by any other industry. Steam railroads furnish the best and most essential type of transpor tation. Other forma of transporta tion have been developed but we de pend on the roalroads to transport, quickly and cheaply, the commodities necessary to our existence. Neither' buses, airplanes not waterways can take their place. ? ) It is the public that suffd most from a depressed railroad condition which of necessity retards industrial and agricultural growth. liAMBLING THOUGHT by U. C. II. A very charming lady requested me to write more poetiy. I have did S07 hero 'tis: ("Sing a sonri of six pence", I Fruit jars full of rye, | Four and twenty married men i | Drinking on the sly. | When the jars were eftipty, I They began to sing; Staggered- home, and told the* wives 1 They hadn't drunk a thing. | Before the law, "Cops" are classed as human beings, though some folks may think differenty. Curiously e nough, cops wives like to send their children to school and church decent ly clothed. Cops have to pay their bills just the same as other /oiks. They are expected to be honest even if their sulaiies a;c not enough to ?make both ends meet. They are not expected to take tips from the public like waiters in a hotel dining room. | They are expected to be courteous, intelligent, and brave, not to mention being tactful. Their lives are con- 1 stantly in uanger. Men of that type j ought to be well paid. Enough to !' live in comfort and carry Life insur ance. They are an as.sut to anv com munity. ? A jury in Miami freed A1 Capone, because the jurors believed that he .was being? framed. "Persecuted in stead of prosecutod". We are a great people. Handboiledi if a decent man is charged with an offence a gainst the law, but when a "gangst ei gets in the toils, we rush tx> his assistance, and wrap A mantle of charity around him so thick that the law could not touch him with a 40 foot pole. Yes, indeed; the lawyers for the defense ? with tears in their voices ? tell the jurors that their cli ent is being "persecuted instead of .prosecuted"? a stock phrase in use lor the past f>0 years-^-and the ?ujors forget the oaths they took, and bring in a verdict of not i.uiky. Tne "gangsters" kn return would cheer fully blow , every juror to "kingdom come" if they, the jurcrs, interfered in any manner with the "gansteis" 1 business. Sucker bait used on suck ers. Don't blame the lawye.s, they know when they have a "sucker" jury. Ihe Postmaster General appointed' an Ohio negro .0 a position in the 1. O. Department in Washington, and provided him with a ~ negro stenogra pher. The Tammany gang appointed I a negro to a high official position in I New York City, and. provided him! with a white woman stenographer. Comment is unnecessary. , ,l^onie years ago Governor Roose velt of New York established a hos pital at Warm Springs, Ga.? I think that is the place. 1 Mr. Raskob, the democrat-republi- 1 can, has just contributed $100,000 to some hospital. Mr. Roosevelt is pop- ' ular in Georgia, and Mr. Raskcb 1 hopes to be; a hundred thousand dol- | lars worth any way. I 'Ihe next, nominess of the Demo-! cratic Party will probably be Roose- I v e 1 1 and Raskob. Mr. Roosevelt is ! not a strong man physically, and in ' the event of his death in office? if I elected Mr. Raskob ? repubican wet I ?would Jcceed him. A pleasing I prospect, eh ? - The Democratic Party is fortunate in not hnving a president in the White House at this time. / ^ Ihe Columbia State says that only 50 pc>r cent of the voters have enroll ed, ;\nd wonders why. The why is rule ;t2. Can any of you ^inks tell me which is the hind portion of a coin? I didn't know either until I began browsing about in Funk and Wag nail's Dictionary. There are some wonderful illustrations and definit ions in that dictionary. 1 Now they say that 20 Senators signed the Highway Itond Rill with out reading it or knowing wQrnt it was. It looks like we had a few men and a lot of rubber stamps bo attend ,to our lawmaking. ! Free drinks will cause a lot of them to sign anything. No worvdter we hav# no statesmen ih South Carolina. I The little fellow all wfcnt aome thing special for their 'deesfcrioU^ not much, but just a little. The big fel lows tell them, "sure you can have It ' I it's a pk&ur* to help you." TOen the big fellows, who ilw*y* want something worth wthUe, introduce a bill involving millions of dollars and demand return of the favor* from the little fellows, and of course . get it. The old game of sucker and) sucker bait. It's pitiful, isn't it. , Meaningless expressions: Courts of Justice, The Majesty of the Law. In olden times When m$n committ ed crimes t&ey fled to "Cities of Re fuge" for protection, and got it. Now adays they flee to the court houses for the same thing; and Set it. Why bother Supreme Courts with murder appeals? Let the murderers appeal directly to the governors of the diffeent states. It ends there any way. Yes, we are a great people; the most logicalist what is. Nicholas Murryi Butler is preaching tolerance towards the communist- Nicholas Murtry believes in being tolerant to wards everything except the 18th Amendment. Down here we are told that we should not 'agin' a man on account of religion. We should practice toterance. The said telllers believe in practicing tolerance toward everything except of course), Republi cans and Hooverctratos. They d|raw ihe line >.he:e; .'specially on Hoovci crats. You cannot pull the "Prodi gal Son" stuffy on the Democratic Party. Not down here. You jist ain't fitten to feed the hogs like the ' Prodigal Son" did. Politicians are firm believers in the old asyfng, "Charity should begin at home." Meaning their homes' of course. They aie the cowboys of the political game.

Woman'n Influence In Community nnd National Affairs. The book of Judges covers the peti otl from the conquest of Canada and denth of Joshua to the judgeship of Samuel. While Joshua nnd tli* elders of his generation lived, the people In some measure remained faithful to God. luil the very next generation went Into apostasy. -Their declension may he accounted for by: 1. Their failure to drive out the* ! Canunnites when they took possession of the land. Their failure to carry out this .coniniaud of (lod was their undoing. 2. Their amalgamation with the Cannnnltes. Their tolerance ??f the heathen about them was quickly fol lowed by union in tnarrlaee. 8. Idolatry. Their Intermarriage with the heat lien was followed by worship of the l^eathen gods. In order to teach lids lesson intelli gently It Is necessary thnt the teacher have a grasp of the book of Judges front which It Is taken. In chapter '2:0-19 is given a synopsis of the book. Observe (1) The sin of the people (vv. 6-13), (2) God's Judgment for their sin (vv. 14, ir?). (3) Their repentance (3:0). (4) (iod delivers thetn at the hands of the Judges (vv. 10-1!)). A repetition of sin. oppression by the en emy, repentance, nnd deliverance, l : the story of the book of Judges. I. The National Emergency (vv. 1-3). 1. Lapse Into idolatry (v. 1). Rhud was not only n righteous but a strong ruler. Under his Judgeship, freedom hnd been enjoyed for many years. As soon as lie wits dead the . people turned away from God. 2. The bondage of the people (v. 2). The Lord abandoned them to lie op pressed by Jabin, king of Canaan. 8. The people cried ttiiio Clod (v. 8). Affliction brought them to their senses. II. The JuJgcclOp cf Dc'oarah (vv. 4-10). The great national emergency con fronting Israel was met by a woman named Deborah. Iler name means "Bee." As suggested by another, she exemplified her name by her Industry, sagacity nnd greut service to the pub lic. 1. The place where she Judged Is rael (v. f>). It wus under a palm tree. She held an open alt^'Wourt for the administra tion of justice. 2. Her method (vv. 0-10). (1) Her summons to Barak (vv. 0. 7). Barak mesns "lightning." l>choruli, being a prophetess, was. able to select a man whose gifts would enable him to rally t lie forces needed to gain victory ove. the formidable foe. Deborah gave definite Instruction us to the number of men and the strategy to be em ployed, assuring him that Cod would deliver Sisera Into his hand. (J) Barak's reply, (v. f;>. He expressed an un will I ngnoj's to go unless Deborah would go with him. (8) Barak re buked (vv. 0. It)) . Deborah yielded to his request, but made It plain to him that It would detract from Ids honor ns ii conqueror, "for the Lord shall sell Sisera into tlie hand of a womnn." Ill The Difcat of Jabin's Army (vv. 1 1 - 1 < . Sisera. the cnptnl'.i, guthered a mighty army mid wont forth, confident of victory o\er the ill-equipped and undlsoiplli od army of Barak, hut lie made one sod mistake ? he did not consider that It was the Lord's but tle (v.

In the guise of friend ship she committed n most heinous murder after Inviting him Into her dwelling. V, The Song of Deborah and Barak (eh. r?). | This song wns composed and sung , In celebration of the marvelous vic tory which God had wrought.
