the night of the murder. Sherif
Moreland testified that it would take
fully a half hour to run from Smith
Vile to Leesburg, little more than
six miles. The murder occurred at
$3.50, it is stated. These men were
also seen at 9 o'clock at Smithville.
The so-called murder carr could
not be identified, neither could the
shot gun found after the tragedy be
identified as the property of Minter
Kennedy.
Whether the Lee county grand jury
will be asked to continue the investi-
CATION could not be ascertained to-
night. Solicitor Williams said that
he did not know what the next move
would be.
The Judge presiding at the hearing
had granted the request of the de-
PENDANTS to hear each case separate
ly. The case of G. w. Chance was
the first one taken up. AS soon as
he was discharged the prosecutor
asked that the remaining two cases
be dismissed.
There was a scene of confusion in
the court room when the request was
granted. Mrs. G. w. Chance swoon-
ed. Other women became hysterical,
while men clapped their hands in
glee.

WITH COT AND GUN IN PULPIT
MAN TOOK CHARGE OF CHURCH
Kept Its Members From Worship Be-
cause They Used Piano.


KOKOMO, Ind.-After keeping
members of the Church of Christ, ten
miles from here, from their house of
worship for ten days because a piano
was installed in the church James
McKillip submitted to arrest yester-
day on a charge of trespass. McKil-
lip placed cot in the pulpit, procur-
ed a loaded shotgun and took pos
session when he learned that some
young members had moved a piano
into the church. He obtained bail
soon after his arrest, and returned
to his vigil to keep possession, he
said, until a court orders him to va
cate.
MlcKillip's father decided the prop
erty to the congregation shortly be-
fore his death, and stipulated that If
any musical instruments or fairs
were permitted in the church the
property was to be turned over to his
heirs or to the church members who
objected to such innovations.

COTTON RECORD
IN BALES BROKEN
More of the Staple Has Moved From
Savannah Than Ever Before In
One Months Time.


SAVANNAH.-In the twenty-four
days of February. including today's
movement, Savannah has shipped to
foreign destinations exactly 331, 1873
bales of cotton worth in round values
$13, 100000 and all previous high
records for any full single month
have been shattered by a vast de-
gree.
October, 1911, the tail end of the
largest cotton year ever enjoyed by
Savannah in foreign shipping and to
ports other than domestic, the move
ment was 33O,984. bales. This rec
ord has already been shattered, how
ever, and it is expected the month S
movement within the next few days
will be increased by at least forty
thousand bales of cotton, as several
vessels are completing cargo for the
old world.
All of the cotton utilized in Great
ing this remarkable record was not,
of course, handled by Savannah fac
tors, but Georgians generally who use
this premier ocean gateway for the
markets of the world contributed
their quota either with spot cotton
or the movement known as free on
board through brokers who worked
on vessel side basis.

PICKETTS ADVICE TO
THOSE WHO ADVISE THE FARMER
Says the Farmer Has Made Better Success of His Business
the Past Few Years Than the Average Business Man

The year 1914 was indeed a sad
blow to every Southern farmer; and,
in fact, to every business in the
South. l am firmly convinced that
last years experience will prove a
blessing in disguise, particularly to
the farming element, and they will
profit by it.
Diversification is here, and here to
stay, and the farmers business will
soon be in a better and more healthy
condition than ever before. Watch
my prediction. D. G.. PICKETT.

House Retain Section Making Pro-
posed Office Permanent.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Geor-
gia judgeship bill emerged from the
house a second time yesterday shorn
Of all senate amendments and with
such a load of bitter feeling on its
back that its friends say that they
expect it to die with the end of the
present congress. Every senate
amendment was defeated, most OF
them without a roll call, and the
Cullop amendment, which provides
for publicity by the president of the
endorsements of candidates, was in
sisted upon so strongly that the
house instructed the conferees not to
yield on it under any circumstances.
The Cullop amendment was in
sisted upon by record vote of 203
to SO, Representative Tribble being
the only Georgian voting for it. Rep
resentative Webb fought the amend
rnent in a lengthy speech in which he
declared that it is unconstitutional.
The const tuition gives the president
authority to appoint judges by and
with the advice of the senate, and
Mr.. Webb said that the publicity re-
auirement would be an abridgement
of the presidents right to appoint.
Discussion of the amendment was so
strenuous that Mr.. CullOp moved,
after he had carried his point, that
the house instruct its conferees not
to yield.
This motion carried, 1853 to 1923,
whereupon Mr.. Webb refused to
serve as one of the conferees. He de-
clared he understood the houses
vote for the amendment and did not
consider any further instructions nee
.essary. The speaker then appointed
Representatives McGillicuddy, Thorn
as and Volstead, all of whom voted
for the Cullop amendment, as con-
ferees. The houses action was not
reported to the senate yesterday af-
ternoon, and so did not come official
1y before that body until today.
All phases of the bill were sub
jects of acrimonious debate for more
than two hours. Representative
Crisp and Representative Edwards
urged that the house retain the per-
manent feature of the bill as passed
by the senate and that it reject the
Cullop amendment. Representative
Webb asked that the judgeship be
merely temporary, as agreed upon
unanimously by the judiciary COM
mittee. Representative Howard ad-
vocated the same view.
Representatives Cullop, Mann and
Stafford opposed the bill

The Jury.

The jury is the principal instru-
ment through which the people rule.
BY means OF the jury the people exer-
else the power of life and death over
themselves. 1t is right and a
power not second to the ballot.
Juries sometimes make mistakes
but. I'm the long run. In free Ameri-
can States, they do justice. The
correctness or the error OF jury ver-
diets is usually i'm proportion to the
development of sense of Justice
among the people. Anyway, we de-
pend in the main on the juries to pre-
serve law and order and civilization
and these three can be no better than
are the Juries that ascertain truth
and decide questions of guilt and in
nocence.
There arc extraordinary circum-
stances in which a newspaper may
with propriety criticize the verdict
OF a jury. but IL should do so with
caution and restraint. The State has
nothing to say about the verdict lately
rendered in York. We have un-
shaken faith that so long as cases
In the criminal courts shall be left to
the juries Of South Carolina there will
be steady progress in the enforce
ment of law and the protection of life
and property.
interference with the verdicts of
juries whether by newspapers, execu-
tives or citizens is q profound menace
to public safety. Were Governor
Manning to assume the privilege, of
reversing. in other than extraordinary
circumstances. the vcrdicts that the
people render through their jurics the
hbegty of the people would bc i'm.
periled and tho peace ana ciyiHzu-
uon OF the State would be seriously
affected.
IL were far better to abolish the
Office of Governor than to impair the
Office of the jury.
The State has greater respect for
the Office of the juryman than 1t has
for the governorship.
A substitute for the governorship
might be found; we can conceive of
none for the jury and it bchooves the
people that IL be held sacred.-The
State.
