This matter has been called to the at tention of J, B. Felton, county super intendent of education, and to the at tention of the county board. The ed ucators now have the matter under attention and in all probability they may try the ?chemo out in the schools of Anderson county. While the Bystem'ls perfectly sim ple, it require?, s?me time to.explain it. However,.it provides that every, pupil.\-?Ul be given, a certain humber! of credits -for performing simple tasks at home, such as ten credits for mllk-| lng tho cow, ten .credits s for splitting | wood, ton credits' for washing the} teeth, 20 credit? tor. building a chicken j coop, ten . cr?dita:" for currying - the horse, and so.on. including practical-, ly every task which a boy or girl may, porfbrm around the, house.

Olive Church In July (Front Wednesday's Daily.) When criminal court convened yes terday morning .Judge Meinminger delivered his charge to the Jury in the case of UlysseB Davis, charged with the murder of Jim Emmerson. The jury retired at 10 o'clock and shortly before ll o'clock a verdict of guilty of manBlaugfhter was re turned. The defendant has not yet been sentenced. This killing occured in North An derson on August 20, following ser vices at a negro church. A large party of negroes had been to preach ing and as they were returning homo nome negro struck Jim Emmerson behind the ear with a rock, fracturing his skull and causing concussion of the brain, killing tile negro instantly. Davis was arrested, charged with the crime, but on the stand yesterday, pleaded au alibi. Tho next case taken up was that of Newel Williams, a young negro from Pelzer charged, with indecent exposure of the person. His trial lasted but a short time and in this case the jury returned a verdict of guilty. WU limns was sentenced to 18 months on the county chain-gang. It. will be remembered that this case excited great interest in Pelzer for a tims and a lynching was narrowly liveried, the prisoner being hurried to tho county Jail here before the mob could lay li ands on him. Os Bozeman, charged with shoot ing and killing Matthew Jones, is now boing tried. Bozeman waa ar raigned yesterday morning Just bc* fore tbe noon hour and bis case oc cupied the attention ot the court till adjournment yesterday evening.

Judge Memminger announced that- he de desired to give the matter further consideration before ho passes the sentence and therefore deferred it until later in the week.'.
