Thursday, October 14, 1920. A week or two ago a man was giv- ' en a new trial in Orangeburg because the trial judge was related in the , sixth degree to the mother of the man killed by the defendant. Such silly technicalities of the law make one feel sometimes that the courts of South Carolina might be improved on, ' especially when it is noted that the . judge was unaware of the remote re- , ' ' * ' * -* ' ^ a ii lauonsmp ai ine ume 01 ilk? mai, and could not, even if he had chose to do so, have been influenced by the relationship. How any sensible man could figure out that the burning of cotton gins will help in the present cotton crisis is difficult to understand. This is on a parity with J:he movement some years ago to burn cotton rather than sell it at less than production prices, or to get rid of it so that it could not be said to be in existence. Such steps are wilful and criminal and any person guilty of such should be given the limit of the law. These acts can not be even placed in the class of over zealous desire to help the situation. Ginneries are private property; they have the perfect right to operate, and it is their duty to operate. If necessary the government ought to protect them by any means within its power. ? ^ i?? ? It appears to us that the decline in prices is about as difficult a situation as the rise in prices. Either way you OI/NWI TT 1 rvnrtr. T oil TTT gu suiucuuuj' lusca. Xi an pnv.^o equalized, there is no objection to high prices. In fact we rather incline to the belief that the average person can get along better with high prices than low prices. This is evidenced by the tact that at the present time there is $39,000,000 more on deposit in the banks of South Carolina than there was a year ago. That a person can save money even with the high cost of living prevailing is shown by the fact that of the thirty-nine millions above referred to twenty-five millions are in savings acocunts. This state leads the entire south in increase of bank deposits per capita. There can be no real hard times as long as there is so much money in the state. <tl Wii FAIRFAX NEWS NOTES. Council Will Hold Community Meeting?PuPils Make Contribution. Fairfax, Oct. 10.?The new council has called a meeting for Thursday -night, Oct. 14, at which time important business will be on the programme of the evening. Immediately after this session visitors and all will be served with oysters and other ' suitable eats. Fairfax citizens are looking to the future. Her folks are all public spirited and it is predicted that this "get together meet* will re- = suit in far greater avchievements for the little oitv. The pupils of the Fairfax school have agreed to make a very liberal contribution toward purchasing an oil portrait of Gen. Wade Hampton for the R. E. Lee camp of Confederate veterans, Richmond, Va. This appeal came from a prominent South Carolinian, who had visited the above camp, and much to his surprise found only a small steel engraving of our southern hero. Miss Sadie Harter, the accomplished musical directress of the Olar centralized high school, was at home to spend last week-end. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Young were visitors in Augusta and Trenton the past week. Friday afternoon, the lower school society offered a very interesting programme.
