Of the lid killings, 32 were found justified, leaving 114 classed as murders, Of these, 45 were not indicted, as 22 committed suicide, 15 have never been found, and eight were freed because of luck of evidence. Sixty-nine, in all, were indicted. Of these, lfi were acquitted, 11 were "no trial" cases and one was a mistrial. Forty-one were judged guilty of murder. , Of these, 35*are in prison sarvlng sentences, six have been uppealed, three have been granted new trials, one was paroled, one escaped with a tine, and just one of the murderers paid the death penalty. If these statistics are generally applicable, it means that in this country less than one per cent of murderers ever receive the most severe punishment, and that the chances are about even for their never receiving any punishment at all. It is obvious that our legal system, while basically sound, has become burdened with a mass of technicalities providing ready loop-holes for the criminal. Clever lawyers confuse issues and sway juries composed of laymen with little knowledge of the law, with sentiment or arguments beside the point. And when everything else fails, advantage is often taken of multiplicity of laws to gain repeals, delays or new trials. We have 17 times as many murders a* England, and six times the number of Canada. Crime suppression will come not from new laws, but by simplifying and making operative the ones we huve. When You Receive A Bill It is an honor to receive a bill. Instead of getting all riled up when tin- mail brings you a statement of account, you should be genuinely pleased. F?>r a bill is an indication that someone has faith in your honesty . If you never receive a bill, it woul I indicate that your credit is worthless, and that no one was willing to take your word that you will pay. Credit is the most valuable thing a person can have. Money may he had by various means, but credit comes: only from years of honesty and promptness in meeting bills when du" When you pay a bill, you arc mere ly being honest. When you receive a bill, then, meet it if you possibly can. If you can't frankly tell your creditor why yoi can't. You'll find him more thai ready to meet you half way. Cherish your credit as you di health, happiness, and other priceless boons equally rare and elusive.? Monroe Enquirer. Governor* Richards removed fron office C. F. Ballentyne, the sheriff o Berkeley county, finding that h;s pie: of oonstitut;onal psychopathic infer ioritv complex > >nfesves his incapacity to properly discharge the dutie of his office, as he is n slave to booze and also that he failed to investigat trie misdeeds of his deputy, recent!; removed by the governor, and con doned the offenses of the deput; sheriff. C. L. Woodward. Governo Richards discusses the right of a governor to remove a sheriff and find that the statute gives him that pow er. The next step for Sheriff Bal entyne was to appeal to the court on that question, as did "his deput who was reinstated the same day h was removed after appealing to th circuit court. This the sheriff di yesterday, and Judge Bonham made restraining order keeping Sheri Ballentyne in office until the whol matter is heard formally and decide in court, which promises to be a Ion time in the future.

Mrs. Watts, it is said, jumped from the automobile when she aaw the engine coming upon them but was struck and badly crushed by the engine. Medical aid was soon summoned and she was rushed to the Orangeburg hospital in an ambulance. It is not known to what extent Mrs. Watts is injured but one leg is broken and her body badly cut and bruised, it is reported. The train was in charge of Conductor Malcolm Lloyd and Engineer Fred Miller. It is stated that the engine was moving slowly and was brought to a stop in a very short space otherwise Mrs. Watts would have been cut to pieces. The automobile was lightly damaged. Mrs. Bass and Mrs. Patrick escaped injury. The above dispatch from Branchville will be read with sorrow here. 1 This is the second affliction following the death of a son, by a blow on th* head at Rock Hill some time ago.

Expresses Appreciat ion We wish to thank the county director and eit\ officers for tho privilege of parading the street on Saturday, . November "ltd. To our mind the i schools made a splendid show when i we consider the short time some of I them had to prepare the children. The . privilege of dividing the schools into * two classes was granted us by Mr. Garrison, thus enabling the smaller - school a chance to share in the prize L money. Schools with four or moro l teachers were in the first division, i schools having three or less teachers were in the second division. In the ) first division Jackson won first prize, * St. Matthew, second; in the second - division Mt. Joshua a two teacher school in West Wateree won first prize, Mickle school in the same disi trict won second prize, i We regret that the student* of * Browning Home did not carry their - school banner, for if they had we are - sure they would have been favorably s j considered in the awarding of the . prizes, hut the judges did not know j but what they were the continuance y of Jackson-as they marched behind - Jackson school. V We thank the teachers and parv ents for their cooperation, the judge* - who willingly gave their time and all s that in any way helped to make this - parade possible. ^ Teachers will please take notice s that we will hold n meeting of the y County Teachers Association at Jacke son November 24th.
