JURORS DO YOUR DUTY.

Morgan county juries have
heretofore borne an unenviable
reputation for leniency toward
defendants upon whose guilt or
innocence they have been called
to pass. Men have been acquit-
ted of crime whom the public
strongly suspected ought to have
been convicted. Others have
gotten off with a very little SEN
tence when itappeared toa great

they should have had the limit
Of the law. The best safeguard
of the citizens of a community
is the, strict enforcement Of the
law, and no set of officers can en-
force. the law unless they are up
held by both the grand and petit
jurors. Unless our juries do
their full duty and mete out even
handed justice to all alike our
county will soon become the
dmuping ground for trials from
other counties on a change of
venue, and this is a from of noto-
riety which we are not seeking.

greatest menace to public safety

sometimes fall into of letting theil

their judgement and of failing tx

ton of principles. The progress
sives are still militant and re-
fuse to go back under the name
of the discredited and sinking
organization. Shortly the vot-

The republican party can new
er be rehabilitated. 1t is buried
beyond hope of resurrection.
With such men as Roosevelt, Per-
kins, Munsey and that ilk in the
control the progressives can gain
no new converts. 1T will even
lose what it has when they see
the joke of Mccormick, Perkins,
Finn, ETC., posing as reformers.
The accessions to that party were
caused by the striking out blind
ly of honest men to free them
selves from the thralldom of the
party Of special interests, and it
is not their fault that the new
party to which they allied them
selves is a political hoax. Mr..
Roosevelt and his associates, un-
intentionally, have performed a
great service for the country.
They have made the Independent
voters a power entitled to re-
spect. Their work ends there.
But slowly, steadily and surely
a new party has grown up. I'M
til recently an object of derision
and scorn, it has held to its
course, patiently, unwaveringly
land hopefully, until at the last
election it more than doubled its
strength and polled a million
votes. 1t never loses a convert.
"Once a socialist always a So
cialist." Why? Because they
have looked beyond the present
and have outdistanced all the
others in the theory of economic
progress -have builded upon the
correct principles and their po-
sition is unassailable. Then
theory offers the producers Of
wealth the only solution that is
just and equitable, that strikes
the fundamentals.
u y
The inevitable is that in the
future the democratic and thu
socialist parties wiHbe the chic
gladiatots in the arena of Amer
lean politics. First the republi
can and then the progressive
party will pass into forgetful
ness, and the great battle will
waged between democrats ant
; and socialists, and in the end tn,
latter will win. No power O
man can prevent this, becaus,
no power of man can check tn,
growth Of human thought. TIL,
democrats advocate the extrem
of pregressiveness that can b

State Sunday School Convention to be

When the convention of the State
sunday School Association was held
in Greenwood last spring, the Sec
retary Of the Chamber Of Commerce
| Of that body called up Secretary Smell
and asked him if Sumter would care
TO have the convention next year.
Ihls body is composed of all the
Protestant denominations of the State.
Inere was no time to confer with the
various pastors c: the several church
| es of the city and so Secretary Smell,
took it upon himself to invite the
convention 10 meet in Sutmer and the
invitation was accepted. 1t was felt
that the Christian bodies Of Sumter
would coo perate in making the con-
| Vention success and that the homes
| OF Sumter would be thrown open to
| the delegates.
AZ recent meeting IF the Men
and Religion Forward Movement. the
pastors and sunday School workers
there present endorsed the invitation
| of the Secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce. and it was decided to
! leave the detailed ARRANGEMENTS for
| the convention To the Executive Com
mittee. 1t was further determined to
| take up the matter of entertain
ment of the delegates with the in
dividual churches. The response has
been hearty, proving Sumter's usual
reputation for hospitality. 1T may be
necessary To arrange for 80 to 100
more delegates but the committee
feels assured that sumter will be able
To- provide for these.
