JOEY STOOD USE TO TEHEE
A large number of our citizens
have just returned from Florida
where they have been attending the
second trial of T. S. Glover for the
murder of Edwin S. Rawl. It will
be recalled hat Mr. Rawl was shot (
at a lumber camp known as Alco
about one year ago; and from the 1
statement of the only eye witness, <
Allen Perry, a South Carolina boy, >
the killing was without legal justification.
However, theie was another
mistrial in rssr i r? Oi i, I
ing nine to three, so we are in'orm .
ed by those preserd, inrterd of eleven
to one as fom.trly published.
The friends and relatives of Mr.
Rawl, who have been to Florida or
this case, say that numerc us unfounded
reports have been circula- ^
ted throughout the county in which 1
the trials were had derogatory tc
the deceased and fa* orable to tr.?
defendant. The'/ s*5; uis 1 a".

themselves to serve *n the
case by stating on examination that t
they had foimecl and expressed o- ,
pinions relative to 'he case, and ^
some went so fa-, as to say that they ^
had been introduced to the defend- i
ant since thev herai^e ii<rnr?a TViic
/ , I J
state of affairs, it is presumed,
prompted the presiding judge to
deliver the jury, when about to dis
charge them, an excellent talk on (
the subject of jury duty urging them
as good citizens to discountenance
any and every effort to influence or c
tamper with jurors in the discharge 1
of their duties. This action on the 2
part of the judge was very gratifying
to the members of the Rawl
family, who are anxious that this 1
case should be tried before an im- <
partial jury. !

Each of them has pledged

prosecute all persons guilty of disorders.
In the past it has been the
habit of some persons to get drunlc,
shoot guns, and curse in the highways
