FOR A NEW JAIL The government has again loosened its purse strings and billions of dollars will soon again be (lowing into the different sections of our country. A recent survey has shown that the Southern states have not received nearly their share in this government spending. It may be thought by some that it is unstatesman-like for we folks of the South, and Scmfch Carolina particularly, to grab some of this money that is being spent so lavishly; but to our minds we are utterly 'foolish if we not go after our share while it may be gotten. Kershaw county has not gotten much in the way of permanent improvements througlh these government spending agencies. Quite a number of other counties in the state, we feel, have fared much better than we. We hope that thoBe in authority may leave no stone unturned in their efforts to get some much needed improvements for our county. For several years there has been pronounced agitation in Kershaw county for a new jail. Our county government has heretofore been working with the WPA and PWA to get governmental aid in erecting a modern jail. The county already owns a conveniently located lot upon which it may be built. The present structure has been woefully inadequate and out of date for many years. In fact, it is a disgrace to any civilized community to maintain such a place for the incarceration of its prisoners. Practically every grand "jary for the past several years has called attention to the dire need of a new jail, and while the citizens generally have seemed somewhat apathetic, we are hopeful that they will now get behind our county officials and cooperate with them to the end that a modern jail may soon be erected. The Kershaw county court house is inadequate in its facilities for the different county offices and agencies that have had to work from that building. Th e new agricultural building will to some extent relieve the congestion, and if a modern, new jail is erected, adequate offices may be placed therein for the sheriff, which will make still more room for other officers at the court house. We suggest to any of those who might be opposed to this program that they visit the Kershaw county jail, and after they 'have carefully inspected it, let them say then whether or not the need is a crying one. We suggest that interested citizens over the county might be of some help if they will write to our senators and our congressman, urging that they use their influence toward securing this aid for the erection of this building. General News Notes W. B. Aycoek, son of former Governor Aycock, of North Carolina, and a shell-shockod and totally disabled World War veteran, committed suicide at his home In Raleigh, N. C., by shooting himself. He was 47. The prices of canned meats In Paraguay are reported to from 30 to 70 per cent the first quarter of 1938 as compared with the same period of 1937. Hides are oft 30 per cent. Fred L. Brown is In Jail at Cambridge. Mass., after confessing that he killed his wife and after weighing her body with plowshares, dropped it from! a bridge into the Nanticoke river He] Bays he killed his young wife, an ex-1 pectant mother, to prevent her press- j ing charges against him of cruelty toj a cat. After being responsible for most or^ the work in rounding up eighteen per-, sons indicted by a federal grand Jury | in New York, on charges of espionage and conspiracy.

( NUMBER 1 G-MAN TURNS TABLES ON CONFIDENCE MEN Washington, Juno 26.?Confidence men whose motto la "Never give ? sucker a break" are about to have that same philosophy practiced against themselves. J. Edgar Hoover, the No. 1 G-man, has a new filing ayetem which will give confluence men aa little chance of avoiding recognition aa a movie glamour girl would have crossing a college campus. The confidence game file was started In 193tl, two years after congress pussod the national stolen property act. Already It has more names than a congresamans' election-year mailing list. In addition to Mating hundreds of known swindlers, the ttle contains their photographs and play-by-play descriptions of their special rackets. One of the common -confluence games Is the "fixed horse race" swln-j die. Hotting up headquarters In some, large city, tho gang sends out Its expert to tlnd victims. He looke hardest for a stranger in the city, without friends to consult, who can cash his aBsots quickly. Contractors stand high on the list. Picking his victim the sleerer strikes up a friendly acquaintance which carrlos them to a nearby bar for a chat. There the steorer finds a wallet containing a large wad of bills, also tho owner's name and address. The swindler Immediately suggests returning the wallet and Insists that his new friend accompany him. Tho owner, or "eplelor, Is very grateful. He represents a large racing syndicate, he says, and In return for tho visitors' honesty he offers to lot them in on a "fixed" horse race. Tho three become very friendly and In several days their winnings, according to the spieler, reach a largo amount, possibly $500,000. When tho group decides to cash In Us winnings the "banker" appears. Ho shows a suitcase full of cash, usually rented for tho purpose, but says ho will not turn It over to the syndicate representative until he establishes his $200,000 cash credit at the rack. The steeror and spieler offer to put up $ 115,000 between them and tho victim, expecting big profits, hurries homo to raise tho other $85,000. j This he turns over to his friends who promptly disappear. ?"Frequently confidence men lure a likely victim to another cly by offering him an attractive position with a foreign concern, then they awing lute the fixed-race routine. The less-complicated "oil lease game" also accounts for many largo swindles. In this racket members of the gang bid against each other for valuable oil property until the Blightly-dazed owner in the hope of turning a neat profit, buys back tho original option at an exorbitant price. The "purchasers" vanish and so does tho money. t . . Stock "lifting" is simpler yet and is usually played alone. The swindler represents himself in a strange cl y as ft prosperous dealer In stocks an bonds. He persuades his victims to exchange valuable, readily negotiable stocks for worthless paper. The "glimmer racket" Is another device to line swindlers' wallets and usually victimizes eldorly persons who can ill afford the loss. Posing aa eye specialists In Binall communities, the confidence men perform fake operalions and give expensive, but worthless treatments. Two bandits tied, gaged and locked up a policeman at Frankllnton, N. C., and aided by a terrific downpour of rain, which drowned out all noises, cracked the safe In a general store and got away with much cash.

How niaiiy grown-up* in Orangeburg county relish tackling a new Job without help 6r assistance from some one who has done the work before? Not many, Is our guess! That being the truth, should not parents realize that, very often, when Johunie or Sarah fall to make the marks at school that other children make, the fault Is not the child's, but rather a lack of patient assistance and direction at home. ? e\ Modem schools cannot give any one pupil Individual atteutlon, and the lit tie tots, struggling amid a massive world of new facts, sometimes fall to receive, at home, the help that Is due from those who have "done the vrkl before."?Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
