According to Keporta From Solicitor*

judging by report* of criminal court
activities in the state, an received by
Attorney General John M. Daniel

indiiau- better results in the prosecu

The reports of thirteen of ?hu four
teen solicitors, that of the second Cir
cuit solicitor being late in reaching
the attorney general show that during
1925 the total number of criminal
cases .handled in the circuit courts
was 3,241, which, when the .second
circuit report is in, will probably be
swelled to approximately 3,500. Last
year the total number of criminal
cases in the fourteen circuits was
3,103.
Of the 3,241 cases reported for 1925
there were 2,460 found guilty, as com
pared with 2,294 found guilty last
year. In 1925 those foi^nd "not
guilty" totaled 529, compared with
563 in 1921. The "no bills" last year
totaled 262, the year before 336.
Murder cases wore fewer last year,
1 4(5 beintf reported by thirteen' solici
tors, as compared with 157 for the
entire state the year before. Last
year 50 prisoners were found guilty
of murder, as compared with 42 the
year before, 91 were found "not
guilty," as compared with 94 the year
before, and in five cases there' were
"no bills," compared with 21 in 1924.
Prohibition cases show an increase
for 1925 from 1392 to 1426. Of the
1426 there were 1164 convictions, as
compared with 1140 last year. There
were 183 acquittals as compared with
T73 last year the acquittals, like the
convictions, showing an increase.
There were 79 'no bills," as compared
with 81 the year before.
Thefts show an increase. There
were last year 314 cases of house
breaking, as compared with 301 the
year before. Of these there were in
1925 255 convictions, against 240 in
1924; there were 44 acquittals against
32 the year before, and where there
were 15 "no bills" last year there
were 29 the year before.
The largest number of criminal
cases was in the seventh circuit. I

number was from the fiftli circuit,
Richland and Kershaw counties, 324
cases; next came the fourth circuit,

One Word Enough
The young woman carefully wrote!
out her telegram and handed it across
the counter.
"Seventy-five cents," said the clerk,
giving the yellow slip a professional
glance.
"Gracious!" the gir! exclaimed.
"Isn't that rather expensive?"
"Regular rate. Miss," the clerk in
formed her.
"Seventy-five tents for only one
word?" n ked the gir!.
"Y? ma'am. But of course you
can send nine more words without it
costing you any more," he pointed
out.
She thought over this for a moment.
"No," she finally decided. "I've
said 'yes' once. Ten of them would
look like I was too anxious."

" Young; Boy Injured
? St. George, Jan. 6. ? Duncan Felder,
the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.
M. P. Felder, of this place, was acci
dentally shot on yesterday afternoon
by George Byrd. It seems as if the
bpys were shooting marks in the rear
lot of the Felder home and in some
manner the gun was discharged and
the entire load of birdshot entered
the face and chest of young Felder.
He was just a short distance away
when the gun was discharged. His
condition is serious, but hopes are
held for his recovery. Mr. and Mrs.
Felder were in Florida and were com
municated with at once and are now
rushing home to the bedside of the
young man.
The physicians this afternoon re
port his condition as somewhat better.

er^ trying Cleveland Etheridge for
the slaying from ambush four months
ago, of two Jones county policemen
after they had raided a still located
on the edge of the Etheridge farm.
The verdict carries an automatic sen
tence of life imprisonment. The'
jury's finding came as a surprise to
all familiar with the case. The de
fenscj had confidently expected ac
quittal and even Solicitor General
Joe B. Dukes had never-been over
sanguine as to the outcome^ Atkins*
Etheridge, brother of the convicted^
man, will face trial on a like charge
in the April term of court.
Part of Money Found
T~
There have been no further develop

Tuesday night since the recovery of
part of the booty, $1,026 in silver,
and the $400 worth of Liberty Bonds,
which were found under a warehouse
in the rear of the bank by a boy,
Stewart Minor, Thursday. The offi
cers intended to allow this part of the
loot to remain undisturbed, and in- -
stitute a policy of watchful waiting;
but news of the find spread like wild
fire, and the plan was defeated.?'
