- The trial of Edgar Morris was IN
progress at Charlottesville, Va, last
Monday. He was charged with the
murder Of Magistrate Bluford sullivan
during a court session at StanardsVliie'
Va. During his speech to the jury AT
torney Hammer, representing the de,
fendant, attacked the character and
reputation of the magistrate, saying ne
feared neither God nor man. You are
a liar" said Rev. R. w. Lewis, an Epls-
copal clergyman, who had charge OF a
mission near the scene OF the muroer.
Rev. Lewis was called before the par
and after apologiZing at the request Oh
the court, was fined $40.
The giant British dirigible R-34,
the first lighter than air machine TO at
tempt a transatlantic flight, left East
Fortune, Scotland, at LAS Wednesday
morning and is now on her way 10
America With no mishap she is ex-
pected to land at Roosevelt field, Nine
ola, L. l., probably today or tomorrow.
The airship, the largest Of its KIND In
the world. measures 634 feet from nose
to stern and carries three boats below
the gas bag. She has gas capacity
of 12.OOO.OOO cubic feet and is COM
manded by Maj. ]. H. Scott or the
Royal Air Force. The craft is equipped
with a wireless system as powerful 90
that of the great ocean liners. Among
the crew of % men is Lieut.. Comr.
Iandsdownes, staff commander or the
American naval air forces in france
who is making the voyage as the repre-
sentative Of the United States navy. IL
has been estimated that the R-34 Will
cross the Atlantic in from gu TO ~
hours under favorable conditions. An
nouncement has been made, however,
that no attempt will be made to estap-
iish a time record for the crossing the
comfort of the dirigible's crew pelns
given first consideration. With FAVOR
able weather the R-34 is expected 10
parallel the route Of the northern
steamship lanes, but should adverse
weather conditions be encountered she
probably will take the southern course,
passing over the Azores. The landlng
will be made at Roosevelt field, Mlneo.
la. L. I. Under present plans, the giant
airship will only make short stay pc
fore starting on her return visit pc
cause of the fact that there is no nan
gar at Roosevelt field or elsewhere
"a pable of housing the machine. Ac-
commodations for 100000 persons 10
witness the landing have been proViu-
ed. The R-34 recently made e6 houp
trim into the Baltic, during which she
covered approximately 1000 miles.

But assume that all four of these ne

But assume that all four Of these ne
groes were engaged as principals in
the violation of the law, it docs not
stand to reason that any OF them
would know exactly what kind of
story to tell to get out Of the scrape
with the smallest consequences to one
and all.
Someone who knows how has got to
plan the kind of lie to tell and the best
means Of backing that lie up. and II
the man who makes the lie and plans
the best way to get it off is not as rep
rehensible as the man who does the
actual swearing, it would be interest
ing to have some one show up the diff
ference.
OF course no jury has got to believe
those lies, and no jury does believe
them more than does the outside pub
lie; but it is rarely the case that there
is empaneled jury that Is SO aban-
doned that it does not want some SEM
blance of justification for the perjury
it takes upon itself.
Mr.. Brice and Mr.. Smith are equally
honest in their views, and both are
partly right and partly wrong.
Mr.. Brice, however, is entirely right
in the contention that the only real
cure lies in a clean, wholesome public
sentiment. Public sentiment is not
clean and wholesome now. If it was
clean and wholesome it would not
stand for such things.

wbo Is Responsible?

Il is the lawyers who stand in the
way of. convicting illicit whisky max
ers and sellers, according 10 Magistrate
Smith, and it is the juries, according
to ]. S. Brice, Esq.
The question is as interesting as that
of (Which is the mother Of the chick
en-, the hen that laid the egg or the hen
that Matched it?"
Both Magistrate Smith and Mr..
Brice are more than half right; but we
think that Magistrate Smith is nearer
right than Mr.. Brice.
Mr.. Brice's idea as to why juries will
not convict is that public sentiment is
not sufficiently aroused against liquor
making and generally include men who
drink if they do not actually make
liquor, and whose sympathy is with
the defendant.
The lawyer gets his charter from the
time honored tradition that every de-
fendant Is entitled to a fair and i'm
partial trial and it is the supreme duty
Of the lawyer to see that his client re-
ceives every legal right to which he Is
entitled, and that no improper owl
dence is admitted against him.
There is nothing the matter with
that proposition-surely not on the
face Of it-and If the terms thereon
were strictly adhered to there would
be no ground whatever for the conten-
ton of Mr.. Smith, just as there would
be no reasonable basis upon which to
dispute the contention Of Mr.. Brice.
But the function attributed to the
fawyer in theory often goes great
deal further in practice, for instead OF
confining themselves to seeing that
their guilty clients get fair and impair
tial trials, many lawyers take license
to go further and see that this is what
their clients don't get.
Take the cases Of those four negroes
that were surprised at the still near
Leech's mountain in a rainstorm last
Friday afternoon. The probability ls
that all of them were equally guilty In
the active making and selling Of liquor
in violation Of the law; but 1t Is OBJ
vious that to buy liquor might truth
fully account for the presence OF one
or more of them.

based upon q petition of resident pa
irons Of the school district and In
Clark's Fork No. 25, action was taken
on the boards own initiative.
The object Of the rearrangement Of
lines in both cases was to improve the
school advantages Of the respective
districts, especially from the stand
point Of giving them better schools
than seemed possible under existing
conditions, and longer terms. AS the
situation stood in Nos. 3 and '25, the
schools could run only four months
out of the year, and with the rear
rangement, though the chools will be
further away from most of the chill
dren, the schools will be open eight
months out Of the year.
The trouble with Clark's Fork dis
trict was that it was too small and
Door. The people had voted an extra
tax; but it was not enough to afford
the desired school terms. In Bethel
there had been division and dlssenslon
for q number Of years, growing out OF
different and various reasons, special
tax propositions had been voted down
repeatedly, and many Of the patrons
of the school as well as the county
board of education had become hope
less Of a readjustment which would
permit Of the operation Of a school
worth while and adequate Of the rath-
er high requirements Of the nelghbor-
hood.
There was no opposition to the re-
adjustment of the Clark's Fork school
district lines. There was regret, but
it did not amount to opposition, Tor
the reason that the trustees and pa
irons seemed to recognize that there
was nothing else to do. In the case Oh
the Bethel district the majority faction
was very much opposed to action that
would deprive the neighborhood OF lts
autonomous privileges, and CONSIDER
able delegation appeared Defore the
board to protest against such actlon'
Mr.. J.. S. Brice, employed as spokes-
man, admitted the legal right OF the
boa ID to act as its judgment might die
tate; but urged sentimental ties ana
held out tentative promise that II the
board would leave the district as II
was the majority would join the mi
nority in voting an eight mill tax upon
which to operate both the Miller and
the Bethel schools.
The board having had the whole
question of the Bethel school under
consideration for q number OF years,
and feeling that it had sufficient hrst-
hand knowledge of the situation 10
warrant action, did not hesltate 70
grant the petition for re-adjustment
Of the lines.
BY resolution a small corner OF BOW.
ling Green district and large part OF
Bethel No. 8 were added to Clover DIS
trict, and the remainder of Bethel NO.
2 was added to the Forest Hill district,

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-07-04

There are too many people who are
looking upon the existing business and
industrial situation as temporary
furry that will sooh pass away. They
are unable to realize the possibility OF
permanency. Their conceptions OF
business are based upon the years
through which they have passed fol-
lowing the great civil war and they
think they have fixed in their minds
a correct appreciation Of what stable
times ought to be. 1t would be foollsh'
no DOUBT, for anybody, to gather the
idea that there are to be no more
stringent times and the like. 1t would
be foolish for any laborer to think that
from now on somebody will always De
hunting for him for employment at
any wage that he might see proper 10
demand. The situation will gradually
and surely sift itself down to some
thing more normal. 1t will again oe
so that the man who is not competent
to manage, and can only labor on the
direction Of others Of more experience
and brains, will find himself less In de-
mand than he thought. The only wise
and sensible socio-economic social sys-
tenn is that under which capital and
labor cooperate to mutual advantage,
and for mutual profit. Labor will not
make much headway except with sat
isfied and appreciative capital, and
capital will never be at its best except
with satisfied. prosperous labor. But
it is well foI all to realize that there
is probably more permanency about
the present cituation than they could
have we'll foreseen few years back.
It is we'll for all to realize that the
world has entered upon new epoch,
more liberal and advanced than any
thing that has gone before. Men are
more dependent upon each other than
they have been, however, and the
sooner the fact is realized by all the
better it will be for all.
