STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES
HOLDS SESSION IN NEWBERRY

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections met in Newberry Wednes-
day and outlined their work for 1916.
those present were Dr. Geo B. Cromer,
chairman; DR.. Z. t Cody. of Green
Vile; L. E. Carrigan. of Society Hill;
! DR.. D. D. Wallace, of Spartanburg, and
and Secretary Johnstone of Columbia.
The principal matters considered was
that OF making Statewide study of the
problem Of feeble-mindedness in the
! appropriation made to the State Board
Of Charities and Corrections no special
provision was made for this work. But
the board considered it of such great
! Importance that it set aside a definite
, amount for this purpose and the secre-
tary was instructed to perfect arrange
ments by which it could be done It
is expected that this work will be ur-
dertaken within the next few weeks
a number of reports of conditions
found in county jails, chain gangs and
aims houses were considered. These re-
ports reveal in certain cases some very
serious conditions which the board will
undertake to get remediedSome of these
conditions are doubtless due to lack
OF knowledge of present laws. some to
inadequate facilities in the institutions
themselves and some to ineficiency of
management. The board is strictly Wis
torial and advisory in its powers,
but it is expected to discover, reveal,
and, as far as possible, cooperate in
remedylng conditions that are unjust,
nneconomic and inhumane.

The Herald and News for only one dol

many who have not yet taken advantage
OF our very liberal offer to get in the
1916 class and if they do not do so we
will be forced to take them from mem
bership in our household however un-
pleasant the tack may be. Come tight
along now today and tomorrow and
square your account at the very liberal
proposition we are making.
Harvey Dorroh was given a choice
between a fine of $50 and 80 days on the
roads before the recorder on Wednes-
day morning on the charge of storing
liquor Dorroh works for Mr. Geo. S.
Mower. He ordered his gallon and went
by the express office to get it and in
stead oftaking it home hewent by Mr..
Mowers with it to do his work first
and the story goes he became thirsty
and tried OFT one Of the pints. 1t was in
p;nts. The act of 1915, and the ordinance
Of the town conform to- it makes it a
to keep or store any whis-
key-even your own gallon any place
except where you live or sleep. Dorroh
was represented by Mr.. B, V. Chapman
and we understand an appeal has been
taken from the recorders court. The
moral Of this is if you order your gal
lon you better take a straight line for
YOUR residence And don't get thirsty |
before you get there.

JUDGE THOMAS HAS
A HARD PROPOSITION
In the Cross Bankrupt Case
Now UD In Piedmont.

Judge w H. Thomas, referee in
bankruptcy, who went to Piedmont
today to hold court in regard to the
Theo Cross bankruptcy case. is con
fronted with an entirely new ques-
tiCa in such causes II seems that
when Cross was adiudicated a bank
rupt, year or more ago, he had n
vested interest In parcel OF real es'
tate. the value OF which was so in
significant that he really forgot 1t
and did not list it in his seh die
Of assets. The said real estate was
in the possession of an aunt and
since her death 1t WAS found the
same reverted to Cross. She died
after he had been adjudicated a
bankrupt and II is learned that the
property has greatly increased In
value. The question now agitating
attorneys and which will come be-
fore Judge Thomas to decide will be.
should the real estate he sold at its
present value and the entire amount
devoted to Cross liabilities, or
should 1t be sold at its value as of
one year ago, when Cross was adjudi.
Gated = bankrupt?
