WHEEL TkxCASE
UNDECIDED WHEN
HITCH DEVELOPS
JUDGE WhfTTRORNE MAKES
RULING IN EeWiN CASE TRIED
IN CRIMINAL COURT.
SHELTON is INVESTIGATING
Question of Automobile Is Raised
Wording Of indictment Is Also
Cause OF Confusion, One Count
Valid, Other QuaGhed.

A hitch Developed in the disposi.
tion Of the ErNin Wheel tax case be-
ing tried before Judge w. c, Whit
thorne in County Criminal Court Wed,
nesday because Of the wording of the
Indictment against w. p. Erwin,
charged with noh-payment of wheel
tax on an automobile.
Judge Whitthcrpc sustained motion
Of Col, Thos H PEBBLES, attorney for
Judge Erwin tC quash one count on
the Indictment, but oyerruled SINH
lar motion on another count. The
case now appears to have simmered
down to a question of ownership of
the automobile at the time the alleg-
ed offense, or nanpayment of tax.
County Attorney Hugh Todd Shell
ton at this time IS making an investi-
cation into the question Of ownership,
and as soon as this information can
be secured the case will be taken up
again.
The wording of the Indictment was
also questioned by Col PEBBLES, who
said that the true bill had been i'm
properly drawn, and contained a
tumble of words which meant absolu-
tely nothing in The case.
Judge Whitthorne warned attorneys
that if the case is to be submitted to
Supreme CRlrt ttat it should be as
free of errors as possible, and, for
this reason it is expected that the
indictment win be probably have to
be drawn again. County Attorney
Shelton said that the offense charged
in the true bill was for a violation
Of a county law. Eut that he had fail
ed to find where the defendant had
paid state licetsc on the automobile,
and a revision Of the true bill on this
grounds may be expected.

WHAT AN OLD SCOUT STATES
Whole Community VIII Be the Bene
ficiares of Such an Organization
AS the Mothers Are Trying to Give
To Columbia. He Says.

Although it had been planned to
bring the campaign for funds for the
boy scouts OF Columbia to close to-
day it is certain that the canvassers
are very far from the goal that had
been set as tlfe minimum amount
necessary for the success Of the or.
ganization and it is probable that
there will be an extension of the
campaign for a Few more days.
While some responses have been
very generous many others have been
exceedingly small, nothing in fact
like the merits OF the movement
should have received. It is impos.
sible for a fund of $1,000 to be Raised
unless those who are able and who
know the Valne OF movements like
this to the community, give ten or
twenty-five dollars, of even fifty dol
lars. The great majority of people
do not give to any campaign leaving
the burdens CT all of these kinds of
movements in the public good to the
comparatively few Unless these gen
erous individuals recognize this fact
every campaign for funds is going to
be failure.
Even if ] did not expect to have a
boy some day to become a member of
the scouts, | would give literally to
It," said one public spirited citizen
this morning. Il am selfishly interest

the old Confederate soldiers who at
