Thursday, Jan. 30, 1913. The general assembly has done G< well, very well in the election of ci: Maj. W\ L. Glaze as judge of the sk first circuit, and the way in which it fo was done was most delightful and refreshing in this day of devious and re uncertain politics. There were sev- co eral lawyers, more or lees promi- E< nent, who were active candidates for the position, and yet Mr. Glaze was w: elected without becoming an aspirant a ? in any way, shape or form. It is th surely a case of the office seeking the m * man, and we are delighted at such ea a disposition by the general em- be bly. Let all elections of judges be he conducted like this and there will pa be no call for election of the judiciary by the people. If our law- m makers keep up this good record in fo regard to ail matters, this will be a br record-breaking legislature. one pe which we shall remember with pleas- ca ure. vjrt ?: so GREENWOOD'S EXAMPLE. tQ Some years ago the town of Green- re wood raised enough money to buy a ar site and erect handsome and com- ? a modious buildings for Lander col- be .lege and as a consequence the college ^ was moved from Williamston to Greenwood. ' The citizens of that thriving city have seen the good reCa suits from that investment, and now ^ they have subscribed a large sum of wj money for the purpose of moving the j S. C. C. I. to Greenwood. The city a will furnish a site and handsome buildings for the school. When busi- cQ ness men of a city put so much bg 0 money into educational institutions ^ as a gift, for which they never receive a dollar directly, is it not proof positive that they do it because it pays? F< The question for we people in Bamberg to consider is if it pays Greenwood to build schools "from the ground up," how much more quickly i. VTi and gladly should we contribute $15,000 or more to erect a new dormitory' for a school already estab- ^ lished here, the plant of which is te worth at least $30,000. Will it pay? The answer is that it has already ar Ft paid. Xo institution of the town XT' benefits us more in a financial way, o r for the amount invested, than the Carlisle Fitting School. It is shortsighted business policy not to sup- XN( port it. es f U Another thing: Consider lor a moment how Greenwood got her <'r schools. Lander was at Williamston and the S. C. C. I. at Edgefield, yet ' * the inducements offered bv Greenp A wood moved both schools to that u city. If the citizens of Bamberg do 01 not properly support the Carlisle Fitting School, just as sure as you live it will not be long before some other town will be making a proposition to L" tlG move the school there. Some of us may scoff at this, but it is true, nev- 111 * ertheless, as they may find out one 11 ro dav to their sorrow. We are not of mentioning this feature of the situation to frighten anybody, but simply pe to put before our people the true ca status of the situation as we see it, kl V? i so that they may act intelligently and wisely in the campaign for funds for a new dormitory, soon to begin. n' ili Union's Thirst Quenched." to Union, Jan. 2?>.?The dispensary ki was voted in at the last election by of this county, and the plants have just es been opened up. Large amounts of in whiskey, beers and wines have been j a mirchased. and have begun to arrive. \ es Friday and Saturday, the first >t days, were busy times for the dis- Ik pensers. Thirsty citizens freely patronized the places, and there is little w doubt of the success of the dispen- m sary, from a monetary standpoint at fo least. w * A1KEX MAX SHOOTS SELF. arion Percival's Death ISelieved to he Result of Accidental Shot. Aiken, Dec. 25.?Marion Percival, le of the best known and most highrespected citizens of Aiken, shot id killed himself this afternoon, r. Percival was alone in his room , his home on York .street, when, >out i o'clock, members of his famy heard a pistol shot. They rushl to his room and found him lying 1 his bed, a smoking 38-calibre re>lver by his side. He died in a few inutes afterwards without regain;g consciousness. As neither his .mily nor his friends can ascribe ly motive which would prompt Mr. ercival to take his own life, it is dieved that the shooting was accimtal, and that he was cleaning the stol when it discharged. The bullet entered Mr. Percival's ?ad. He was about 50 years of ;e and has always lived in Aiken, e was a member of one of the coun's most prominent families. For veral vears past he has been a suf rer from rheumatism, and has been capacitated for work. Three sisrs survive him. They are Mrs. Jno. lird. Miss Mary Percival and Miss [lah Percival. The funeral will be ild to-morrow afternoon from St. laddeus Episcopal church, of which e deceased was a member. Woman Sues Surgeon. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.?Under the iorgia laws a surgeon must exerse a reasonable degree of care and ill in his operations or he is liable r damages to his patient. So holds the court of appeals in versing the judgment of the city urt of Thomasville in the case of iwards vs. Roberts. Mrs. Nettie Edwards, a young idow, brought suit tor $10,000 :ainst Dr. J. L. Roberts, alleging at in operating upon her he reoved an organ which was not dissed and which should not have jen disturbed. She charged that >r health has been permanently imlired by the useless operation. Dr. Roberts entered a general deurrer and the court sustain d same, Rowing which Mrs. Edwards ought the case to the court of ap;als. This court, in its decision, lied attention to the fact that the *orgia code provides that "a per>n professing surgery must bring the exercise of his profession a asonable degree of care and skill, id that any injury resulting from want of such care and skill will i a tor? for which recovery may be id." The court of appeals also held at "the exercise of this degree of re and skill is the measure of prossional duty in all cases, and hpfhpr this desrree of care and skill ts been exercised in a given case is question of fact for the jury." As a result of the ruling by the >urt of appeals the case will go :ck to the city court of Thomasville r a jury trial upon its merits. YOUTHFUL MOONSHINER, 3 urteen-Year-Old Orphan Boy Arrested in Still but Escapes. Greenville, Jan. 21.?Sherman ayes, 14-vear-old white orphan boy Highland township this county, nose father was murdered some n years ago by a white man - the name of Jim Suddeth, was rested by local revenue agents last iday in a blockade distillery. The ayes boy was not the sole owner operator of the still, for with him ?re four white men. two of whom ?re captured. The other two men caped after an exciting chase over e hill and through the valleys. The rested men were Terrell and Jack 11, both citizens of Highland townip. | After the still had been demolish-1 the prisoners were marcfhed out the wood to the roadside. The ficers were very considerate - with | e lad of tender age and allowed I m the privilege of riding one of e horses, thinking of course that i would follow them to their deslation. The lad soon stole a march i the officers and retreated up the ad from whence he had come. The ficers did not discover his disap:arance until it was too late to repture him, however, he is well lown to the revenue agents and s arrest may follow soon. At the death of his father Sheran Hayes was adopted by a fami in' good standing in Highland nncViin Tho lafp Mr. Haves was lied by Jim Suddeth. a moonshiner the dark corner section, now an caped convict. Suddeth was tried the courts here and he received sentence to life imprisonment. He ;caped the penitentiary some five ;ars ago and since has never been ?ard from by local authorities. Suddeth operated a distillery and hen it was destroyed by the revele officers, he accused Hayes of in rming the officers. This, it is said, as the cause of the killing. PRODUCE MORE CATTLE. 1^ James Wilson Declares South is U Ideal Place. j Washington, Jan. 23.?Secretary James Wilson, that venerable "farmer statesman," who presides over the department of agriculture, in the cabinet of President Taft, thinks that the South is coming into its own. He ^ believes a considerable portion of J the meat supply of the nation must I come from the South, and he is grat- m, ified that the farmers of the South J are beginning to appreciate this | fact. I "There are millions of acres of ^ idle land in the South that are ad- H mirably adapted to the production M of cattle," said Secretary Wilson to- 2 day, "and there is no reason why Jj not only the beef supply but the sup- H r?K* nf nr>rk for American markets I i r'j should not be produced on the soils J* of the South." Secretary Wilson has been asked concerning the growing shortage of the beef supply, and his first comment was to point to the great opportunities of the South in this connection. The secretary has always H been much interested in Southern |1 agriculture and the Southern farm- || er, especially with reference to the production of live stock. He has ? consistently urged upon congress the necessity of the eradication of the cattle tick in order that the only serious handicap to cattle raising in Ar the South may be eliminated. e(* Da "The one thing that prevents the *nrA(yraoeinor in 10 OUULIJL 11 U1X1 1 1UIJ pi \j fcj 1 gogiu^ iu the production of live stock for ov market is the cattle tick pest, and to that is gradually getting under con- S1S trol," continued the secretary. "At f V? present 165,000 square miles of ter- i ritory in the South h?s been released from the tick quarantine, and more territory is being added to this ^ every month. Th "The ticks consume annually about 200 pounds of blood from each head of cattle, and of course it is impossible to fatten him for market j with this great drain on his physical reserve. "Not only are there millions of acres of idle land that->could profitably be used for raising and pastur- qu ing of cattle, but there are millions of acres of the best cattle producing land in the South that are at pres- an ent being used for other purposes th< that should be turned into feeding at q ground for live stock. . sei "Take for example, the over 2,- 0f 500,000 acres of the Cecil clay an which is found in Alabama, Georgia, tir | North Carolina, South Carolina and ^ Virginia, and the 1,500,000 acres or Hagerstown loam, found in Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Investigations made by the bureau su. of soils ?shows that these two types en of soils are particularly adapted to of cattle production and grow the finest f?] grasses and forage crops of any sois ^ in the country. "We can also take under consideration the millions of acres of Orangeburg and DeKalb soils locat ed throughout the South, which are also admirably adapted to the feeding of cattle and hogs. Besides re( there are millions of acres of land Co that are now producing spring and Co summer crops that could be profitably turned into winter pastures. wj For instance take the cotton planta- cas tions. In a great many eases these Ba 1 q fields, after the large cotton crop gais gathered, could be planted to of winter pastures, which would, in- est stead of lessening the productiveness lor j of the soil, increase it. "The long growing seasons whicn ur; prevails over much of the Southern ac; .territory enables the farmers to -?1 raise two crops a year upon many ^ of the soils. It also renders pos- g-a sible the pasturage of cattle for a Fr long time. It is not infrequently the case that on a Southern planta- pa tion the present acreage of crops grown for market could be maii\tained, while, at the same time, j land not now in use could be made I available for keeping beef cattle and for fattening hogs. q "Another distinct advantage of Sa stock raising in the Southern States arises from the fact that the expensive shelters for the wintering of foi the stock which are required in all of the more northern regions are not necessary and in many locations the cattle may be successfully car ried through the winter' without I any other shelter than the pen or 9 feeding lot."
