Oconee Teachers Association.

On last Saturday the Oconee County
Teachers Association met in Walhalla
Court House and interesting addresses
were made. There was quite large
attendance of the teachers, and much
interest was manifested. Gen. G. I.
Walker, of GreenVille, chose as his
theme "The Women of the Southern
Confederacy," and made an interesting
talk. Hon. o. b. Martin, State SuperIn-
tendent of Education, delivered an ad-
dress on the subject of "Better Teach
ers," which was highly instructive and
was listened to with intense interest.
Mr.. Martin is a ready speaker and was
the master of his subject. The address
was worthy of repetition in every county
in the State. 1t was certainly helpful to
the Oconee teachers. After these ad-
dresses the routine business of the asso-
citation was transacted. The next meet
ing will be held at Seneca on the fourth
Saturday in April. An interesting pro-
gramme for that occasion will be ar
ranged.

Dcac Sir: Your business ie, whom a
house burns down, TO give tho owner
s0me money TO build a now one. It is a
good business. Queer that tho world got
on SO long without 1t.
We paint the one that burnt down aud
the new one too. What Is better, we
paint the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours.
We paint Lead and Zinc; Deyoe. We
sell the paint TO painters; we don't paint.
Lead and oil is the old-feshion paint.
Deyoo is zinc ground In with the lead
and linseed oil; the best paint In the
world, and the cheapest, because it takes
fewer gallons than mixed paints and II
wears twice as long as lead and oil No
body wants poor paint; there's lots os It,
though, in the world.
A. M. Griffen, Plainfeld, N. j., writes:
Mr.. Aa.on Higgins, of Plainfeld, al
ways used 10 gallons OF mixed paint for
his house. Last spring he bought 15 gat
Ions of Devoe and had gallons left.n "
Yours truly,
Il. w. Deyoe d Co., New York.

CHRISTOPHER HuNslNaEa FATALLY SHOT
While Cut With serenadins Parry Lived
K Only About Twenty.Four Hours.

Z. . II
Last Friday evening, q littfs after 9
O'clock, Christopher Hunsinger, while
out with serenadinR party, was shot by
Bud I'riestly, colored, the shot taking
effect almost in the center of the fore
head, the bullet penetrating the brain.
Almost miraoulously he fingered for
twenty-fopr hours. his death occurring
singer was about 10 years of age, and his
sudden death is q source of deep sorrow
TO his many friends. OF unusually fine
physique and pleasing address, he at
tracted the attention of all and made
friends on every hand. The shooting
occurred almost directly in front of Mr..
r. s. Rutledge's homo, in Midway, and
every attention was given him by physi-
clans and friends. From the first 1t was
realized that the wound must terminate
fatally. Sunday morning Coroner w. l..
Harbin was telegraphed for, "a jury was
empanelled, and at 2 O'Clock viewed the
body at Mr.. Rutledge's house, going
from there to the Court House, where
the testimony was taken. Only four wit
nesses were examined-Drs. Crawford
and Moore testifying merely as to the
location and nature of the wound and
the cause of death. Mr.. Sam E. Max
we'll, who was one of the serenading
party, was tho third witness on the
stand, and stated that he was near Mr..
Hunsinger when the shot was fired, and
that he saw Bud Priestly fire the shot.
Bailus Kirksey, colored, was the fourth
and last witness, his testimony agreeing
with that of Mr.. Maxwell, except that he
did not see the man who fred the shot,
but was satisfied that it was Priestly.
The object of the inquest being only to
establish the facts as to the cause of
death, and at whose hands, no further
examination of witnesses was held. The
verdict of the jury was, in substance,
that Mr.. Hunsinger came to his death by
a gunshot wound inflicted at the hands
of Bud Priestly. After being at large
for over forty-eight hours Priestly was
located, arrested and lodged in jail Sun
day night. The untimely death of
Mr.. Hunsinger is universally deplored,
and his sorrowing relatives have the
sympathy of the entire community.
Monday morning at 1890 O'clock the
body was laid to rest in Westview ceme-
terry, after funeral services conducted by
Rev. j. G. Schaid. Despite the fact that
there was steady down-pour of rain
there was a large ooncourse of friends
present at the last sad rites.

Court Of Appeals Governor Says
Too Much Legislation.
Jefferson City, March 30.-Govern-
or Dockery to-day vetoed senate bill
No. 273, creating an appellate court
at Springfield. No.. and changing the
limits Of the districts OF the st. Louis
court Of appeals and the Kansas City
court Of appeals. This bill provides
for the establishment Of an appellate
court at Springfield and includes
within It's jurisdiction thirty-nine
in central, southern, southeast and
southwest Missouri 1t calls for the
appointment OF three judges, with Of
flcers and attendants, and the equip
ment OF suitable rooms for court
and library, and carries an appro
priation OF $4,000.
Governor Dockery says: 81 am
constrained with great reluctance to
disapprove OF this measure. The in
vestigation have made compels the
conclusion that there is no judicial
necessity for the establishment Of
this court. The Kansas City court
OF appeals during the last five years
handed down 1926 opinions, an
average OF 263 annually. That
court is up with its docket. The st.
Louis court of appeals has rendered
1,712 decisions, an average OF $40
annually. The official records show
that both the st. Louis and Kansas
City courts are able to promptly dis
pose OF the business.
"If another court is established at
Springfield, the business will not be
more than sufficient to fully occupy
time OF one Judge" w
