But before the bar of justice opinions and moral certainties do not go?one must be able to deliver the goods, which, in legal parlance, is evidence of the brand where no reasonnhle doubt ex ists uh to the guilt or Innocence of the accused. In this Instance Van Martin, con stable for Magistrate D. P.

The regular monthly meeting yes terday of the .Anderson County School Teachers' Association, at West Market street school, was one of the nrost en joyable and beneficial that this organ-, lzation has ever held. The address of the occasion, "The Geography of the European , War," was interestingly discussed by Pror. E. .L. Hughes, superintendent of the city schools of Greenville and one of the best known educators in this sec tion of the country. Prof. Hughes' lecture was a discus sion of causes of the European war. in the course of which he gave his opinion as to where the responsibil ity for the?titanlc carnival of murder lies. Prof. Hughes took tho position that Russia was at tho bottom of the cause of trouble. Having been hemmed In from an extensive coast by nations ?o&e too friendly, the Russian Bear, Intensely desirous of. getting an open ing upon tho sea, brought about war at a period when the time was ripe for dealing a crushing blow to her enemies, aided, of coitran, by France and England. Prof. Hughes' lecture was listened to with tho closest attention throughout. There were points explained In his lecture which had puzzled teachers no little, and it was indeed a privilege to have someone like Prof. Hughes de liver a lecture' on this all-absorblug subject. Tho association was delighted to have with them Mrs. Ligon, who sang two solos, one before the lecture and tbe other after.
