What Happens To Murderer*
Recently h large American life in*
aurancc company investigated the
records of the killings of lid of its
policyholders by other persons. \The
result is an accurate commentary on
our handling of crime.
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.?

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.

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. Teachers are ex

ireUBS A WARNING
( rook Abroad Taking Order* Fgr
i Hooter? With Caah Down Payment
The Chamber* of commerce of the
various southern cities have" received
from the New Britain, Connecticut,
hamber of commerce the following
warning:
"A man of about 30 years of age
i with light hair, blind in his right eye,
weighing 125 to 160 ibs., and drivi
irig an old style Ford Sedan is now
operating somewhere within the above
mentioned states. He works in the
smuller cities and tpwns and from
house to house. Bis proposition is
:hat he represents the American
Hosiery Company of New Britain,
' <>nn. and that he is authorized to
lake orders for ladies, gents and
nildrens' hosiery at the ridiculously
low price which attracts the unsuspecting
householder who makes the
small initial payment demanded. Ha
receipts for the amount which is usually
under one dollar and states
that the balance can be paid when
the goods are received. Nothing further
is then heard from him.
"The American Hosiery Company
is a very responsible concern and are
very anxious to apprehend this man
who is preying on the householders
and using their name when he has
no authority to do so.
"You will be doing your people a
good turn by warning them of this
man's activity and at the same time
be serving this organization and the
above mentioned member in a very
definite way. Your effort* will be
very much appreciated."
