as1those of any state in the Union.

Guilty Of Manslaughter.

In New York recently a chaffeur
convicted of manslaughter, for run
ming down and killing a switchman,
was sentenced to six months i'm.
prisonment. A few days later two
other chaffeurs were tried for the
same offense, manslaughter, and con-
victed, being given thirty days and
six months, respectively. These
penalties are light for the offense,
but The World is correct in saying
that the matter for satisfaction is
that the crime was in each of the
three cases designated by its right
name and the prisoner prosecuted
and convicted under laws existing
long before this form of manslaugh-
ter was known but still valid to
cover it," The danger from. the man
who handles an automobile reckless
ly, in other words, must be dealt
with. in the same manner as the dan-
ger from the man who handles a
gun recklessly. There is no differ
ence in principle. The gun is an ex-
cellent thing in its place, and for its
lawful purpose, but when it is used
to the hurt of another the law steps
in and Furnishes its misuse. So with
the automobile, a great agency Of
civilization, a wonderful vehicle Of
utility and pleasure, in the hands Of
the reckless and careless it may be-
come menace. The chafeur who

The following figures VIII show
that the average value of the farm
lands of the county as returned for
taxation is 1923 per acre. But this
does not include the land in the
corporate limits of the towns of
Johnston and Edgefeld, which is as
sessed at $50. This added to tn e
lower valuation of the rural lands
would bring the average of all
land, towns and country, up to
