In the United States Court, held
at Greenville last week, Jesse G..
Duffe, an Edgefeld boy. a cripple
and quite young, was convicted of
robbing a postofice in this county
and sentenced to a reformatory in
Columbus, Ohio, for three years.
Great sympathy was expressed for
the youthful criminal, and Judge
Simonton was as lenisnt as possi-
8ble.
The New York Worlds figures
show that there are 1926, 100000
out of circulation in the United
States. This huge amount has
been boarded by the people in
their financial scare. And this
money the World says, has been
hidden away in the peoples socks.
1t may be true, but doesn't reflect
on Edgefeld in the least. We
haven't got the money to hide away,
and if we had we haven't got the
socks to spare.
An item, from an exchange,
which fits everywhere: A local
newspaper is often accused Of bias
in regard to giving personal notices
or mentioning the coming or going
of some and omitting others. The
fault is with the people and not
with the editor. He is always will
ing and even anxious to tell who
comes and goes if he can find out.
If you have visitors, let us know
who they are and where they come
from You will fnd.us as ready to
snotice" one as another, patrons OF
otherwise, friends or foes. Our
object is to give the news.
