Robert Lee Smith, S8-year-old
colored resident of Rembert, wai
shot to death by rural police at
Rembert last Saturday night after
he had attacked two officers who
were taking him Into custody on
a charge of house breaking and at
tempted assault on if woman.*
. A coroner's Jury has held that
Sinlth came to his death at the
hands of Rural Officera S. P. Oed-
dlngs and R. L. Alabrooks who
were acUng in the discharge of
their duty and In protection of
their own Uvea.
The two offieers, investigating
the breaking into of a.white man’s
home and the attempt^ aasanlt on
the wife of. the owner, stated at
the inquest-'that Smith started to
fight when they attempted to place
him under arrest. He attacked the

Senator R. M. Kennedy, Jr., of
thhi city, does not believe that
the department ot agriculture
should be permitted to renlg on the
payment of ao-called crop inaur-
ance.
This week the Kershaw county
senator introduced a bill in the
general aaaembly, which would
memoraliae the naUonal congress
to appropriate anfficient funds to
liquidate houest obllgatlona of a
department of the federal govern
ment.
’The action of the Kerahaw aolon

avaUable to pay loaaea, which are
obllgationB under the crop-lnaar-
ance program, which has been car
ried oh by tho departmMit hf agri-
eulturs for severail years.
In ths resolution introdnoed by
Kennedy, attention is called to the
personal solicitation carried <m by
employees ot the department of
agrleultore through an argent and
continued lelllng campaign by
mail, which resulted in many tann
ers being induced to procure thla
indemnity.
The farmers, it it pointed out,
