MANS SKELETON FOUND
IN SALKEHATCHIE SWAMP
paul kirkland" Believed Vic.
tim of Foul Play

Augusta, Ga, May 20.-Who is Paul
Kirkland, of Sycamore, S. c., and how
and when was he killed? His skeleton
was found in the Salkehatchie swamp
yesterday afternoon and the authorities
are trying to unravel the mystery,
but with little success so far.
The man has been dead at least six
months, say doctors, who examined
the pile of bones as they lay practical
ly submerged in the mud. A letter
found under the bones furnishes the
only means of identification.
The almost clearly picked skeleton
was found by wandering negro boy
in the middle Of the swamp, about fif-
teen miles from Hampton, S. c., and
about twenty miles from Sycamore,
where he probably resided, according
to the address of the letter found I'M
der the bones The man has evidently
attempted to cross a small stream of
water on a log, as his body was found
directly under the log. 1t is presumed
he must have been intoxicated.

Unknown in Sycamore.

Paul Kirkland is unknown in Syca-
more, as inquiry developed yesterday.
There is a family of Kirklands in
Barnwell county, s. c., where Syca-
more is located, but members of that
family say they know nothing of Paul
kirkland.
Magistrate J. T. Murdoch, acting as
coroner, was notified and went to the
scene Immediately afterwards with a
jury. Under the bones was found a
weather-beaten pocketbook. In it were
letter from w. w. Kimball Piano
company, of Augusta few post cards
and $6.00 III money. Physicians exam
ined the remains and stated the man
had been dead six months but they
could not say whether or not his death
was a result of foul play.
The jury, however, returned a YER
dict that Paul kirkland came to his
death by violent means at the hands
of parties unknown to this jury"
Supporting the belief that he died a
horrible and lingering death is sharp
projection of the side of the log, where
a limb had evidently been broken off
by a considerable force. 1t is believed
that Kirkland struck either his head
or his back on the projection as he
fell, fatally wounding but not killing
him instantly. 1t is considered i'm
probable that he was killed outright
by the fall, but that he was so badly
injured he was unable to rescue him
self and died in the swamp.

Circulating Department.

The circulation for home use has
been 1904 volumes, for the year,
which gives an average of AZ for each
day; of these 1919 were adult and g.
lis juvenile. This rapid circulation
OF our comparatively small number Of
books has necessitated the mendins
OF ,466 volumes, which has been done
at odd, moments by your librarian.
Many of these books are badly worn
and will soon have to be replaced with
new ones. Calls for books on farm
ing, tree-life, gardening and books of
this nature have been made by people
who have recently settled in this coun-
ty. I hope we may add many books
to these classes in the near future.
Reading and Reference Department.
The attendance to the reading and

There is plenty of definite work for the party

is the spirit Of responsibility upon each ndiyid-

until he can feel the pressure Of his own hand
on the reins of government, the law win be far

The quickest way to rouse the individual to a

lican party organizations in territory and coun-
ties may we'll address themselves Immediately.

EDITOR

Jarrett, today contains this significant comment
on yesterdays raid:
This game has been SO little troubled by the
detectives that the bankers of the game thought
the raid was joke or the result of an ambitious
underling'
And it is also stated:
Reports of gambling with which the sheriff
was thoroughly conyersant were becoming so
alarmingly frequent that, following the confess
sion of the detective staff that twas powerless
to deal with these two big games, the sheriff
himself organized the attack on them"
1t is quite plain that the sheriff is blaming
his detective staff for the inexcusable condition
that he himself now admits prevails with regard
to gambling
B. The police department politics that has pre-
cipitated this revelation of sinside affairs" has
not wholly come to the surface Jarretts ex-
PLANTATION only halfexplains. What is the head
of the department doing with an organization OF
subordinates that will not or cannot obey his or
ders? Can Jarrett run the police department or
can he not? Gambling games have been running
practically wideopen for many months What
has suddenly stirred the sheriff to activity?
Well, at any rate, Jarrett has at last be-
stirred himself and now it remains to be seen II
he has nailed the evidence on which to secure
conviction of those arrested yesterday. 1t is TO
be hoped that he viii rouse himself long enough
to make a thorough job Of cleaning out the gam
blers. If he does that, and keeps them cleaned
out, he will deserve and he viii get great deal
of credit

MORE MONEY FOR PROMOTION

Promotion Pays-and pays for all the ISL
ands
Lorrin A. Thurston realized this when he
planned the esee Hawaii First campaign, a
campaign that has already introduced the
charms Of the Big Island to many HonoluIans
and tourists from the mainland who otherwise
would not have left Oahu
Oahu and Hawaii have no monopoly on scenic
beauties, and certainly no monopoly on good
roads. Each of the islands has many wonderful
bits Of natures glorious handiwork, and each of
the islands has the beginnings .of system of
good roads.
The development Of the tourist traffic is sim

Promotion pays big dividends and does it on
a small Investment. Moreover, this Investment
Is as much to the benefit of the home people as
to the visitors Money put into good roads for
the benefit Of the tourists is money spent in the
community and for the good Of the community
Money put into permanent paving, into improve.
nents in city lighting, into amusements of vari-
Gus kinds, is money expended for the progress
and welfare Of the community. Thus promotion
works doubly and secures double profits.
One distinct movement should come from the
civic convention now in session and that is for
radical increase in the appropriation for the
work Of the Promotion Committee Along witf
this should 60 the logical and necessary plan Of
close cooperation between al the islands in the
raising and spending 81 the appropriation.
DR.. Elliot struck the keynote this morning
when he told the delegates that every island
should boom it's attractions early and late, and
that allthe islands should stretch "hands-acrosss
Ihe-channels and unite their efforts.
This spirit Of inter-island promotion work
made tangible appearance early in the ses-
sion, and It promises to grow stronger today and
tomorrow.

ID the next three or four years by increasing its
Advertising outlay: And these next few years

me BfLA7tD GAMBLING RAIDS

The raiding Of gambling games by the sheriff
yesterday is open admission of what the press
Of Honolulu has been charging for months,
that little or no energetic attempt has been made
on the part Of the police to close up the many
games running in the city.
Sheriff Jarrett's belated move is to his credit,
but it would have been much more to his credit
had he acted earlier, and without the spur OF a
growing public opinion. When businessmen all
over the city, when relatives and friends of
Youths wasting their own and their employers
money over the tables, when tile casual obser-
YER and the ordinary man hears that gambling
Is flourishing, then indeed has the police force
been lax. That the conditions here should have
grown SO bad is significant of the lack OF super
vision, the lack OF energy, in the conduct OF the
police department.
The Star Bulletin has a letter, signed q Pro
fessional Gambler which, after charging that
big gambling joint is running IN Chinatown,
says in part:
During the month Of July manning
young Chinese buzinessmsnl lost over thousand
aollars on the games of pai-kow and don ngou
4bere were seversl other young who have lost
nretty heavy IN tho game of don ngou or pai-kow

All night until late Before the gambling starts cut

billiards and bet heavily. This game has ruined

factory or stores have heard of some Of the young
men who have already their positions on account
