JUSTICE DELAYED Is JUSTICE
DENIED

To the Editor Of The Lancaster News
and Citizens Of Lancaster County.
Sometime ago l read an article
fTom the pen of a very distinguished
judge of the Georgia bencn, in which
he charged that the juries of the
country were responsible for the
many lynchings which are so preva-
lent here in the South; stating that
if the juries would do their duty tnat
we would have less lynchings. l. as
a citizen of the South, refute this
charge and not only that, but l make
the assertion that the judges them
selves are more responsible for the
lynchings tnan any one else, because
they do not force the cases to trial at
the first term OF court after the crime
is committed, for Justice Delayed is
Justice Denied.
We are upon the eve of holding
court in this county. The court will
in all probability be convened with
some judge presiding who was elect
ed to hold that honorable position by
the Legislature of our State. In the
past / have heard some of the judges
who presided here in this county, in
their charge to the Grand Jury, very
scathingly condemn the Petit Juries
for their failure to convict the per-
petrators of crime, alleging that If
the juries will convict more we will
have less crime. After the judge
has delivered his charge, the Grand
Jurors are intrusted with the indict-
ments and retire to their room to
consider the cases, reporting back to
the court after hearing the testimony
either finding a true bill or no bill.
Now rp to this time and up to this
point the machinery Of the court runs
smoothly, but alas and alack the
Wv taken charge of by
the lawyers. Then IL perchance the

defendants lawyer is not, and upon

ness having n doctors certificate say
ing that he is unable to attend court.
none OF which are worth the time il
takes to tell as a general thing, be
ing ordinarily mere subterfuges to
have the cases continued. In the past
these cases have been continued and
by the very same judges who SO
scathingly denounced the jurics foi
failing to do their duty; therefore
justice has been denied, because
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied"
1t sometimes happens that the great
er part OF the murder cases are tied
up and continued by reason of the
illness of one attorney, who is
prominent practitioner, and justice
Is denied, because Justice Delayed
is Justice Denied" Now to show
the absurdity Of this system: Let
us suppose that a man without money
or means OF retaining an attorney is
to be tried for murder, what hap.

ney to defend him, for which work
he receives very small sum
twenty-five dollars / understand
which is paid by the county. l have
yet to hear of the first case of this
continued until another term or
court. Why are cases OF this char
acter always tried? Because there
are no high priced attorneys to in
vent ways and means Of having them
continued, and so justice is not de-
MED, because justice Is not delayed.
These reasons to my mind are suffl-
cient to convince any one that th-
courts are failing to perform the du
ties for which they were instituted
On the other hand IL shows that the
courts of justice are being perverted
into courts of injustice by the law
yers with the connivance of the
judges.
In the above we have only vieweo
this matter from n viewpoint OF JUS
tice. but now let us look at It from
monetary viewpoint. II costs the
county money to try all cases and in
murder cases the cost is sometimes
very great, then for each term of
court that a case is continued OF
course the cost is piled up IL a
murder case costs $1,000 to try il at
the first term of court after the crime
's committed. then il it be continued
for several terms OF court the case
will cost the county several thousand

BAPTIST CHURCH

Sunday was a good day at the Bap- tist church. Many new faces were among the worshippers. We greatly appreciated and enjoyed their pres ence.
 The music of the day was the best in several months. We hope to make it better Improvement is our motto in everything pertaining to church work and service. Give us your presence and in that way en- courage us to do our best.
 Every pew that is filled is an added inspiration to the choir, to the min ister, and to the church worker. Your sympathy is with the church. You would not have closed the doors of a single church in our city. It has been verified conclusively, to most every observant mind, that Where religion dies women lose their virtue and men commit suicide.' If this be true why not protect ourselves, our children, and our neighbors, against such a fate by giving proper empha- sis to the church and religion.
 We should be glad to have you wor- ship with us Sunday morning at eleven and Sunday evening at seven-thirty o'clock. The music will be good and inspiring, the preaching the best the pastor has in him. Come and help us.
 John W. Epperly, Pastor.

DO HOT BE SW|HDLED
 IN YOUR OWN HOME A Fake Test Exposed

Some Baking Powders contain speck and only speck of dried albumen (some- times called dried white of egg).
 The U. s. Government has declared this speck of albumen is no help in the baking.
 BUT, when water is added to baking powder which contains albumen, such baking powder, no matter how poor it may be, will foam up much higher than any good baking powder which is not doped with albumen.
 Agents for doped aIbumen powder come into your home and add water to their powder, and to one CT two good baking powders which are not doped.
 The albumen powder foams up high in the glass; the others do not foam so high.
 Then the agent tells you that this test shows that his powder is much stronger than the others. U. s. Government officials say this test is a fraud.
 K c BAKING POWDER contains no albumen, and is legal under the Ndt5o7adL Pure Food LGa0 and the Pure Food LGs0 of eGch and eveTy StGte.

 Therefore, the public should encour age both pupils and teachers in noth- ing short of serious work during the five days allotted to school activities. This can be done by arranging for parties and school gatherings on nights not followed by school days. There should be more visits of par ents by teachers.
 A closer cooperation of teachers and parents is necessary if the best good of the child is to be seriously consid- cred. To this end parents are urged to visit the schools and see their child ren in their daily work.
 Some complaints have been made by parents that the children are kept at school until dark. This may be ture of those who are taking part in ath- letics, school plays or other outside activities.
 i Parents who do not approve of their | children taking part in such activities should notify the superintendent, prin- cipals or teachers and such children will not be included in such activities.
 All high school pupils are dismiss ed at 80 unless detained to make up | missed by 3:45 unless detained to make up lessons. In no other case is pupil held in school later than 4:00 o'clock. If the children do not get home in due time, parents should consult with the teachers to find out | if it is the fault of the school.
