We know of no one more optimis;ic as to the future of the South in general or who believes more firmly n the great possibilities of our own county than our friend, Peter Gouriin,civil engineer by vocation and at 3resent foreman of the grand jury. Vlr Gourdin is a close observer and lis employment naturally gives opportunity to see and appreciate the latural resources of our county, dad he lived until today, Mr Gour- j iin says, the great New York editor would have changed his slogan to, 'Go Soutn, young man."

Recently, through the enterprise of the board of trustees, a splendid school building was erected at a cost of $8,500.

Again we beg to remind our friends that all notices relating to money-making enterprises, for church, school or any other cause, are charged for as advertising at one cent a word. All cards of thanks,'for any purpose whatsoever, are charged for at the rate of one cent a word. It would save us a good deal of trouble and embarrassment if you would just count the j words and send the money along with j your "copy," as it hardly pays us to , keep books on these little items. Yet in the aggregate they mean a considerable loss to the paper if not' collected,and they are so easily overlooked. tf j ' * ' , . \r ' , i CRIMINAL COURT CONCLUDED. W. J. Cockfleld Acquitted of Charge of Murder. As the paper went to press last Thursday the case of the State vs W J Cockfield, murder,and J H V Gaskins, accessory after the fact, was being tried. On the testimony adduced the Solicitor consented to a verdict of not guilty as to Gaskins, there being insufficient evidence against him to press the charge.-' The case against Cockfield was contested vigorously on both sides. ?. " j? i?:u:?? dOHCltor oou maue a uniuauk. cuuu for O" ion, while Messrs Lee & Fishl ind H G Askins handled the de ? with masterly skill. Thuiw^y afternoon the case went to the jury and after a short period Qf deliberation, a verdict of not guilty was rendered. The crime with which Cockfield was charged occurred in Lake City December 4. 1910, and our readers are familiar with the circumstances of the killing. A carnival company which had been exhibiting there was packing up to leave when some time after mid-night one of the employees of the show,a negro boy named Henry Alphonso, was shot dead. The crime was deliberate and unprovoked, arousing great indignation among the better element of the town people. The main ground of defense was an alibi, which means,in effect, that the accused man was elsewhere when the crime was committed.

At any rate, the murder of Henry Alphonso, the friendless negro, will probably be- numbered with the large, list of crimes unavenged to.be dealt with at the final day of reckoning, when all secrets in the heart of man shall be laid bare. The last case tried was the State vs J P Wheeler, storing alcoholic liquors. The jury failed to agree and a mistrial was ordered. In the above case Joe Brown, a witness called by the State, changed his testimony from that he had given at the preliminary hearing as to so nearly "knock the props" from under the Solicitor that the latter ask- j ed the court that Joe be held for perjury until he could procure a warrant for him. This request was granted and Joe was turned over to the Sheriff and is now under warrant to answer for perjury. Making Journalist.
