As a Juryman sees It I - I Needless Waste of Time in Cir cuit Court Bores a Layman Half To Death Editor Daily rtem: Please let me give you my j heartiest thanks for your editorial in the issue of June ist. especially para- ! graphs two and three. If there is a ' layman in Sumter county who lias served on the jury one week and has not been bored half to death by the needless waste of time, I don't know j who he is. It does seem to me, as i a taxpayer and citizen of this county, ? that the time has arrived that we should demand a more efficient handling of our present court, sq that time may be saved and the docket cleared without the extra added ex pense cf a? county court.

Police Dots There have been many bicycle rid- '! ?rs to make appearance before Re ader Harby for the violation of the ordinance against the riding of bi ?yeles after dark without their being properly equipped with lights and ; he lights lit. In each case there has been no excuse that was in any vay offerable, for the bicycle riding : >opulace of the city has had repeat ?d, ample, sufficient, and timely warn- : rig of what was expected of them. ? The fine which is receivable by the ?ity for this offense is large enough ' o cover the purchase price o.? the ; 'antern so i* is rather a lesson in ?conomy to invest in the bicycle lan tern. Surely it is a safety and a splendid precautionary measure, for < it may be the means for the saving < )f both life and limb in addition to the court fine. A bicycle is hard to , see at nigh: even when lantern equip r*d find next to impossible to see if entirely without a light. The police have strict orders to "bring them in"L ?those ones who take the chances? , so be warned once again. Hungarian Marriages are Based on 1 Money. Budapest. May 10?A remarkable' story of how a young Hungarian made ] i profit of 4.000,000 crowns by spec- i ulating with his wife's dowry and . :hon sending her and her dowry back i to her father, has just come to light 1 here. Four months ago Joseph Klein, a j young merchant of Budapest of small i means, married Transylvania girl and J< received with her a dowry of 2.000.-ji 000 Rumanian lei t worth at present!' exchange rates about one and one- i fourth cents per lei.) The bridegroom quickly changed his wife's dowry into Hungarian cur rency nnd received in exchange 14, 000,000 crowns, the crown being quot ed- seven to the lei. After the honeymoon the young husband found that his good opinion of both the Rumanian currency and of his wife had de dined, and that the crown was now onh live to the lei. Mr. Klein thereupon bought back his wife's dowrj for 10.000,000 crowns and sent her and her dowry back to her father. By that transaction Klein made a clear profit of 4,000,000 crowns and is said now to be on the lookout for another wife. This is an example of how the mar riage marker hen- has been affected by the fluctuation of exchange values. When the Hungarian crown sank very low. the value of Transylvania. South. Hungarian and Siovak girls backed by good ^Rumanian lei. Jugoslavia- di nars and Czecho-Slovak sokols, rose considerably in the eyes of the Hun garian youths and at least as many, matches were made on the exchange as m heaven. Slowly, with the improvement of the Hungarian money, the demand for girls from the lost provinces abated' and Magyar girls are agin very firm j in the market. Former marriages with j foreign curr< hey girls arc now being ! cancelled for the sake of Hungarian ; women. The pug <'. of Houghton, X.

He'; was one of Tulsa's prominent negroji physicians and surgeons. j' Many negroes left Tulsa today. The ' Red Cros offered to provide trans- j portation for any destitute who ] wanted to leave, although no effort ': was made to have the negroes leave, i Rain today added to the difficulties i of the homeless negroes. 1 The downtown section tonight will 1 be patrolled by the regular police. j A subscription of $300,000 will be ! asked, the committee announced to- i night and housei: owned by the ne- j groes will be reconstructed.

Several thousand negroes today were released from supervision of jthe military, given badges inscribed J "police protection" and sent about i their accustomed duties.

Thirteen white men arrested by i military forces this afternoon were : released alter General Barrett ex amined them and concluded that they had not been looting negro homes. Mayor T. D. Evans tonight issued an order revoking ail special police commissions. The mayor acted under instructions from General Barrett, who said .many of the ring leaders among the white rioters and men who did most of the shooting carried arms as special officers. A military order tonight forbade holding of funerals of those killed in the riot in churches because of the "conditions of emotional stress which still prevails within the city."
