Discourses on I,a wlenttneHM,
In addressing the grand jurors be
fore they wore discharged at Ander
son,. Judge Hay 110 F. Hive saidf
"In cases before me the man who
was killed doe?n!t have a dog's show.
Kighty i?f r cent of these cases arc
murder, pure and simple, but our petit
jurlo* AJppeAr hard to be convinced
that tho accused will swear anything
to save his neck."
l/ntil we reach the point that petit
jUtiea quit side-stepping their duty
wo cannot expect to check lawless*
ncss." ' -
Continuing this able address, Judge
It ice said:
"It has been charged that you can
not net justice in the courts of South
Carolina. There may be some truth
ii that charges I'm afraid there is
I .op much truth in it. The. trouble is,
most men brought into court don't
want justice. I have tried cases du?>
my experience on the bench in
which men were indicted for murder
artd t he state made out its case, not
beyond a leasonable doubt, but beyond
ail shadow of a doubt, so clear that a
| man with any sense could see that
I the man under .indictment was guiltv
j <>f a brutal crime, and then have a
i petit jury turn them loose to wal!<
out. of the coUrt house as free men.
i have tried cases in which the dead
wan was shot in 'the back, the bullet
wounds serving as silent witnesses
that could not be disputed, and in
those same cases had verdict of 'not
guilty' rendered. ? ?
"I am telling you this because I
want you and the good people of
South Carolina to know that there
must be a change in the administra
ii ii of justice in this Mate before we
reach the point that every citizen
realizes that if he kills another with
out cause he must forfeit his own life;
when he knows there is certainty in
the punishment by the law, then we
can walk our streets in safety from
the 'vagabonds and desperadoes whose
hip pockets are tilled with pistols."
The two causes for crime in South
Carolina, Judge Rice stated, are boot
leg liquor and hip-pocket pistols. lie
also suid that he never expected to
see the day when there would be no
liquor; that"it would be made as long
i as there was a demand for it; but
through the proper enforcement of
the prohibition law that traffic can be
brought down to a minimum.

olina towns and cities are arranging
for big delegations, the city of Spar
tanburg is going and take its drum

'jetting in great shape for South

very anxious to And out in* the next
? wo or three days approximately how
many Camden and Kershaw County
men and women will go, leaving in a
body from Camden, at 8:30 a. m.,

how many owners of cars will furnish

u to mobile? party paying his or her
p o rata share of operating the car.
Governor Thomas G. McLeod, Hon.

tive should have a ? 'Camden pennant,
wh\-.h can be purchased from ihe
C '..iialtii i.;ul Kershaw County Cham
ber of Commerce at actual cost of
fifty (50c) cents each, and every car

to notify Secretary Reardon at the
earliest possible date.
To great Britain is due the credit
of having the first organization which

NEW TYPE FORDS.
(?ood Many Change* Noted in All
Styles of Popular Priced Cars.
I r
The new type Ford cars will soon
be on display at the show i-oom of the
K. i haw Motor Company, in this city.
The higher radiator, now standard
hi all Foul types, has brought a gen
eral improvement throughout the en
I tire line and the new radiator apron!
blending with similar apron effects on
the fenders give* the front of the
cars a highly finished appearance, j
The touring car shows a decided i
improvement, having a more stream
line effect. It is lower in appearance,1
a feature adding much, to the attract*
iveness of the slanting windshield and
one-man top.
runaboutm iikiuvtee much
improved ami looks more sturdy.
The coupe is entirely new in body
design and construction. There is a
more trim exterior appearance, n.ore
comfortable seating arrangement and
greater IVtggagc carrying capacity.
From the dash there is a graceful
sweep of the cowl to the radiator. The [
c doors are wide and heavily framed
A larger compartment at the roar
gives increased room for luggage and
the new type rear fender is more se
cure. Ventilator in the cowl and a
\ istu OVeT the windshield add to the
exterior appearance, effecting a high
quality aspect.
Interior arrangement is most con
venient and the upholstery is choice.
The seat is deeply cushioned and the
cushions are divided, making it easy
for filling the gasoline tank which is
under the seat. A small recess shelf
at the rear of the seat is handy for
small parcels/ The door windows are
equipped with revolving type window
regulators, permitting any desired
ventillation. Doors are provided with
locks.
The higher radiator has greatly en - 1
hanced the beauty of the Ford four
door sedan. This car, highly popular
since its introduction a year ago be
cause of its low, graceful lines, now
presents a more sturdy appearance.
Another feature coming as the re
sult of the change made in the front
of tbo_tuu?_ijicluding larger cowl, ra
diator and hood, is that occupants of
the front seat are afforded more space
thus insuring added riding comfort.
Many other little improvements and
refinements are noticeable including
revolving type window regulators for
all door windows and a dome light for
illuminating the interior.
Many Negroei* Returning
Many of the negroes who went
North in recent weeks are now j*.
turning to their Dixie homevglad
get back. They artj better to be in
the South. Moat of those who return
mo declare. Here's one:
"Tell the colored! men that they h*d
letter stay here and work. Then? is
nothing for them to do in the North.
I have been there and I know. Try to
help me , persuade the negroes to stay
lu re for they will be sorry if thi-y
up th?ie, like I have been."
The speaker was David Boyle, a r?.
spectable negro of Richland county,
who "answered the call' which wax
spread abroad throughout the South
for negroes to go North and work in
the industrial plants. Boyle has Ut.,
working 40 years on the Frost place
in this county. The glowing terms in
the call appealed to him and he left
some time ago. He has seen Philadek
phia, Cleveland, Albion, Mich., but he
is glad to get tyack to Columbia. He
did not move his family and now they
are happily reunited.
"The laws are not strong enough
against these men who come down
here and entice labor *a\Vay a yd wish
you white folks would help to break it
up," Boyle said. There is nothing for
the negroes to do up there. Thesa
men come down here and take away
the negroes by making them false
promises. ?
Boyle left here and was promised
$7.50 a day. He was paid $4.20 a
day on an eight hoar working day.
Then sumo of the mines shut down
and the negroes were out of work.
There was a difference between the
pictures painted by the labor seekers
and in the conditions as they actually,
existed
Boyle has been busy preaching his
gospel of staying in the South and
working the farms or whatever labor
the honest negroes are engaged in.,.
The colored man made one exeep
tion. "We don't want the loafers down
here. Let them go. It will be good
to be rid of them, but as for the hard
walking, honest negroes, I am telling
them to stay here. 1 have talked' to
many since I have come' back and
many of these were planning to go
North right away. ? Columbia Record.
The city schools .of Greenwood at
their opening Monday showed an in
crease in numbers of 77 in the white
schools and a decrease of 134 in the
negro schools, due no doubt to the
negro migration.

Judge a Car
By Its Re-Sale Value
A car that is noted for its
used car value, is simply a
car that is so well built that
it gives good service, with
little wear, over a long
period of years.
That is the kind of car that
sound economy counsels
you to buy, ? and that is
the kind of car the new
Hupnnobile is.
Ever since the first Hup
mobile, built 15 years ago,
Hupmobiles have been
noted for their ability to
keep on going, year after
year, with a minimum of
repair and replacement.
Their re-sale value has
always v ,cn unusually high.
It rood to kno'rv th t in
the n e \v H u p mo bile the
things wnich make for Ion 3
Inc have been still further
imp-ov^d and strengthened.
When yc/.i ? ^n ' ? v ? *. ?? car' J
e-oCi-' v m ??.<-> i; ; dally
V O . r : ? t ]? ^t it
is also an unusually reliable,
low cost car to maintain.
The very features which
make for long life to an
equal extent make for con
sistent service.
The new Hupmobile is the
finest Hupmobile ever pro
duced. It is built of the
best materials, and with the
best workmanship.
The motor is still more
powerful/ still smoother,
still more remarkable in
its ability to climb steep
hills or settle down to a
snail's pace without shift
ing of pears.
Cc me in and see this more
beautiful, larger, easier rid
ing car. Let us demonstrate
its brilliant performance for
15 minutes,- -and you will
agree with us that it gives
you all tl>e practical advan
r, of cars much higher
in price.
