WEDNESDAY. MAR. 30. 1910.
A recent Act makes it obligatory
that the State flag be "flung to the
breeze" over every school house in
the State. A very good law.

same time?
Court is over, and it must impress
i Jet- '
1 all the observers that the "game is
hardly worth the candle.” A differ
ent method of “trying" cases might
be adopted that would be more ex
peditious. Somebody is responsible
for a very great waste of the re
sources of the county.
What is the matter with Colleton’s
candidates? Thev seem a little slow
in announcing themselves. Mn other

names already published. One thing

l Thinking people are about to con
clude that trial by jury is getting to
> be a farce. After all one or two
|members of the jury decide the to-
\ue. In one of the trials recently
i concluded here a juror was heard to
aay, on coming out of the room,
t
-‘Mr. , he aay we ought not to
%
. find the man guilty, and we didn’t,
lease Mr. — say it wasn’t right.”
Now, for all practical purposes, this
juror could have been eliminated
from the panel, and a careful study
of the jury on this particular case,
will disclose the fact that there were
. •*
others who probably decided the
case because "Mr. So and So thought
so and so.” It is a question for care
ful study.
BEAUFORT’S ROAD BUILDING.
The visit of the Supervisor and
Commissioners to Beaufort 'last
Wednesday was very timely and
wise. Here they were able to see at
work machinery similar to that con
templated for the use of Colleton
county in the new road law. Their
report of what they saw to moat in

iasm to new running high. At the
April meeting of the Board there

One thing thev are going to find,
though, when they come to purchase
machinery to that the fund available
for that purpose to not large enough.
To use a traction engine to the
greatest advantage in building sand-
clay roads, it will be neceanry to
have a train of wagons to haul clay
or aapd. In addition to this a good
roller to essential, a road-plow, etc.
To purchase all this the Legislature
provided only $3,000! Twice that
sum can be very economically spent
on equipment and with the balance
of the road funds of the county mote

The cake brought $57.65.
The best feature of the occasion
was a lecture on “Courtship" by
Prof. P. C. Garris. Prof. Garris was
introduced by Rev. Mr. Rushton,
who stated in his introductory re
marks that baseball was a game of
modern invention, and men of his
I age knew nothing of such games in
I his boyhood days. Then came Prof. [
Garris, amid much applause, and
everyone seemed to enjoy his lecture
to the fullest extent. We passed
Mr. Garris Friday afternoon while
he was putting up some wire fencing,
and told him not to begin his lecture
until we got back for we wanted to
hear it, and he replied that it would
not be much as he had to prepare a it
while while putting - up the fence.
We only have to say that we would
like to have some more—it was a
good tonic. Among the visitors
present were Misses Maude Padgett
and Rena Wolf, and Mrs. Isham
