missed the disbarment order against
Dr. S. D; Redmond, attowey-at-law,
and fully exonerated him of all charges
preferred against him, in a decision
handed down today.. Dr. Redmon
is chairman of the Mississippi
V-. Republican State Kxecutive Committee
and the only colored man holding
such a position in' this country at this
. tfme.' The
supreme court upheld Redmond
- in all Tour of the specifications pre_
seated, in_hiii animal, h old i n g that
against him grew out of Redmond's
to disbar him* a "clean bjll of health."
*' . Judgt. V.fl J. Stricter 0/ the Hinds

Appointed by .1 udgc Strieker. It was
from this order that Redmond appealed.

fefv charged for winding up the estate
of the late Professor O. L. Coleman
of Gibsland, Louisiana,'founder
of Coleman-College, who left frh estate
f. valued at $110,000. . .
Part of 1he' estate_ was located. in
.lUcksop, part in Louisiana and part
-in Chicago, Illinois, and Redmond ren
tiered many otlfiffllegal services for the
executrix, Mrs. Mat-tie Coleman, the]
( " widow, and for Mrs. Oliw Coleman
Thomas, her daughter, in Jacksonj
Washington, l>. C., and Tuskegee.l
Alabama, which tire Court held -wasj
noti. part of the administration and
t . fort which Redmond was . entitled to
extra p.a.v. Mrs. Olive Coleman Thomas

Association. . . ? r
.Judge Strieker "allowed Redmond
mdv?S'2?5 for eeitain smvie? renderetl
th^' estate in .lachyuii, holding that
^ he didn't have jurisdiction over the
other matters, and sent Redmond to
Mrs. Coleman to make his own settlement
with her for other services, and
so specified in nis decree. Redmond
and Mis. Coleman 'thereafter agreed,
on a fee of $1,001), hut when Mrs.
. Coleman and. ^jrs. Thomas found that
only S275 was sot out in the decree,
(buy "nofused to pay the $1,000,?They
Told the judge that the reason that
y, they agreed- to pav the $1,000 was
because Redmond told them that the
judge wanted to allow him such a fee.
? AIT 4T OiTs?TTsfrmmd denied, and said
word in an e(fort*^b-Save $1,000. The
Supreme Court held that Mrs. ColeM
man swore falsely and knew at the
time that she- was swearing falsely
against Redmond.
iVr. Redmond showed by several exj
judges and other leading lawyers that
$0,500 would have been a reasonable
T*?_1 ft e?foj his services. Ifledmond at thflt
time refused to ask that much, hut
j ottered to accept $1,000 as a matter
> of concession, fn view of the fact that
the late Professor Coleman had been
a warm personal friend of his. The
Sunreme Court refused to go into the
subject of the amount of the fee but
said that SI,000 was a very small fee.
, Dr.-Redmond says that since Mrs.
Coleman and Mrs. Olive Coleman
?? Tboma^ acted as they did, after his
* mum out of respect for the late Pro
c.'MeW&'H.lrg win now sue fof
all be can show his sot*viees worth.
lie never accepted the $275 and says
that he will not accept the $1,000 con^
cessionary fee, hut will let tl>e matter
rest wholly on merits. It is said that
RedJnond will also sue Mrs,. Coleman
and Mrs. ThortTi^^jfOr slander, and will
institute prosecutions for perjury
against some of his enemies.'

WHY PREVENT
WOOD FIRES'
_______ * ,
M- *i' ? ^
iTT?irjr" citizens 01 .south Carolina
have the -very e rr oneousjrdelt that
forest fires do no damage tirtiie woods
and tree growth. This is a very 'unfov
Lumrte_ state of mind. H is hamUt?>understand
why even the person who
?asually goes into the wno'dff wbW-e
fires burn can not see the damage
ttmt?you tnke a trip through a forest
ed area it will he well to take a lesson
in nature. Very often Jire luirhis
an pne-sideof a road and,not on the
other, due to the'fact that the, road
[Treated a barrier that the fire could
not overcome. On the burned, side you
will see blackened stumps and bowls
of trees, discolored foliage"3of pines
and hardwoods and a forest floor practically
devoid of younp trees with
many older trees burned to death practically
making a desert so far as valuable
tree growth is concerned. Contrast
this with the sid& of the road
that has not been burned. There you
will find thousands of thrifty gt'owng
pines and hardwoods with healthy
looking logs an abundance of
green foliage and a foi-est flo r wit'-,
tons of pine strqw and leaves being
changed by nature into nourishment
for the best development of a tree
crop. You will also find on this area
many, birds and game animals, pa
tictilarly in the spring of the year
during the nesting season. Tlv game

Recurring to this discussion. Mr. S.
and destructive animals.
There .is not one good?reason?for
starting a forest fivd. It is.a menace
to the best interests of <very citizen

of burning the woods can be stopped
through .'the urgent and persistent
efforts of good citizens who report
forest fires and the persons setting

They are responding as never n

reaction ijt_to"hp--found in the. world ^
.of life insurance. With many life in!

people now recognize that it offers an
onnortunitv 'for thrift, hardly offered

It still remains a fact , however, .
[that while .$100,000,000,000 worth of, e(
life insurance'is.in-force in this coun- j
try. hot a little mure than 2 per cenl|()|
of the aggregate income of the na-'^t

Ufc insurance has now cottie tb .be -7

Life insurance, undoubtedly,' in the j-j
