new GRAND JURY
FOREMAN APPOINTED
The Court After a Holiday
Took Up the Grind Again
Tuesday Morning

The circuit court, after taking q
recess from Saturday morning on
through the holiday. resumed bus
mess again last Tuesday morning.
One of the most important things
done, tile latter part of last week,
was the naming, by the court, of
Edgar Traywick as grand Jury
foreman, to take the place of w.
E. Haley, whose time had ex.
pired. The foreman is appointed
for two years. Mr.. Traywick is a
good man and will give the very
best of his ability and attention to
the duties of the Office.
When the Democrats forms
we're closed last week Floyd Knigh-
toms case was in the hands of the
jury. Knighton was charged with
killing negro boy named TOmmie
Hart last January at Buena Vista,
and was acquitted by the jury.
Another murder case was dis
posed of last week. Lige Crews,
a white man, was found guilty of
murder in the second degree, for
the killing of Lewis Saules some
time last year. This was a hard
fought case and attracted much
interest. Large crowds attended
the hearing. Crews and Saules,
were not the best friends, but had
engaged in a crap game just before
the killing. Crews was the only
white man in the game, and trouble
arose between him and Saules.
Crews left the game, secured a
gun, returned and shot the negro
to death. The jury was out only
a short while. The punishment is
ten years in the penitentiary,

THE CARROLL COUNTY
QUARTERLY COURT
Holds Important Session Next
Monday Appoint Educa-
tional Board

The regular July session of thu
Carroll county quarterly court
was not held last Monday on ac-
count Of it being July 4 and many
of the members wanted to cele-
brate the day in a different way,
and the term will be held next
Monday.
The court will likely be called
upon 10 elect an educational board
under recent change in the educa-
tional laws of the state. This new
law provides for the election of q
board Of seven members and this
board is to have full control of all
the schools of the county.
Some county courts are declin-
ing to qualify under the new
school law. providing for the
selection of this new county board
of education. These courts are
ruling that their counties are ex-
empt under Section II of chapter
100 of this acts of 1921 which reads:
Section IL Provided that moth
ing in this bill shall be construed
as applying or efectiDg in any
manner counties now operating
under county elementary boards
of education; and providing that
nothing in this bill shall be con-
strued as applying or limiting the
duties of such special school dis
tricts as may have already been
created 10 this state by the Legis.
lature."
We have a county board of
education which has control of the
elementary schools of the county,
and we have county high school
board which has control of the
high schools of the county, and
we also have special school districts
created by acts of the legislature,
each one having its special board
of education.
1t seems to US that our county
court under these conditions would
be amply warrented in declining
to qualify under this new law.
One great trouble with our school
system is the fact that we have too
many and too frequent changes,
and we might add too many laws.
Turning over to seven members
the entire control of our schools,
with all details of the various
schools to be worked out, appeals
to US as a rather hazardous pro-
position.
The schools are progressing very
well under the present system, the
people have become accustomed to
it, and it might be best, if it can
be done legally, to let things re-
main as they now exist.

AMBITION SCARED TOO HIGH
Pioneer Grape Grower Unfortunately
Was Not Satisfied With First
Really Excellent Results.

A hundred years ago DR.. C. W.
Grant bought, q small, rock-ribbed
island In the Hudson river nearly Op.
pOsite Peekskill. There was general
laugh at what people declared to be
his folly, as the island was SO barren
and worthless that II did not seem pos
sible for anything to grow there. DR..
Grant, however, had ideas Of his own.
and he began growth Of grapes Of
the then new variety. the Delaware.
In q very short time the island was
known to grape growers all over the
country, and Doctor Grant was de-
clared to have done more for grape
culture than any other man in Amer
lea.
The great business enjoyed by the
physician turned his head, and he be-
gan to work toward scheme that
would turn the island into paradise
of growing flowers, especially mag
nOlias and rhododendrOns, and he
hoped to give seed or cuttings to every
home In America. The result OF his
attempts was bankruptcy, and he left
the island, which soon went back ia
rock and barren soil.

PEOPLE FAVOR BONUS BILLS
New York, New Jersey, Washington
and South Dakota Sanction the
Proposition.

The passage Of soldier bonus bills In
New York. New Jersey. Washington
and South Dakota by overwhelming
majorities at the November elections
is unquestionable proof Of the public's
recognition Of veterans claims. Is the
opinion advanced In an editorial which
appeared recently In the American Le-
gion Weekly.
"One-fourth Of the Ave million men
who served In the army and navy live
in states which have shown their sense
Of justice by awarding compensation"
the writer says. "Three-fourths Of the
veterans Of the World war live In
thirty-six states which have not faced
the issue-in most Of them because
there have been no recent sessions Of
state legislatures.
'.The United States senate will soon
pass on the question Of national COM
pensation for World war veterans.
Facing them squarely Is the FOrdney
bill, adopted by the lower house. This
bill will meet every test Of justice. 1t
Is In accord with the sentiment of the
people of the country rs attested by
the state bonus elections. Its passage
by the senate will mark the fulfillment
of national obligation. The state bO-
muses. are the expressions Of desire
by the people to give square deal.
They do not lessen In any degree the
federal responsibility, which cannot be
avoided on the plea Of state generos.

Legion Legislative Committee 10 Pross.
Ing Passage o. Measures Important
to World War Men.

Five bills are being pressed by the
legislative committee Of the American
Legion Ut the present session of con.
gress. Foremost among those In pub
lie interest is the Fordney bill, that pro
vides adjusted compensation for all ex.
service men, but more important In the
eyes Of Legion men are the Watson
bill. the Rogers bill. the Stevenson bill
and sundry appropriation bill allow.
Ing $10OO0,O00 FOR hospital construc-
ton.
The Fordney. or bonus bill, passed
the house In the last days Of the last
session Of the Sixty-sixth congress. II
then was referred to the senate finance
committee, Of which Senator Boles
Penrose Of Pennsylvania is chairman.
Assurances were given that early hear
ings would be held on the bill.
The Fordney bill, as II stands now,
provides cash payment for all vet
ernns up to and including the grade Of
captain. Of one dollar a day for each
day of home service, and $1.25 a day
for foreign service, with a limit Of $500
and 1925. respectively. Or, the option
Of the same amount, plus 40 per cent
II taken In the form of government GER
tificates, assistance In the purchase of
home or farm or vocational training.
The Fordney bill, however, will be
subordlnated to the other four pet
Legion measures, all Of which aim at
the Improvement Of the condition Of
the disabled. In this the legislative
committee Is following the mandate
Of the second national Legion conven-
ton, which went on record that mat
ters for the benefit of the sick Ind dis
abled are of first Importance and are
to be given preference over all 9TH
err legislation affecting the welfare Of
the service men,"
The WATSON bill provides for il re-
glonal branches of the bureau of war
risk insurance, as many sub-Oflices as
may be necessary, and would make 1t
possible for ex-service men to pay
their government insurance premiums
Mt any post Office. 1t relieves from the
puyiuCht VI uiShbiVu hSh as
hospitals or taking vocational train
Ing and men temporarily disabled. 1t
extends the time In which ex-service
men may apply for disqualification. 1t
Is bill that would improve the effi-
cheney Of the war risk bureau and
would give justice to the disabled. The
Watson bill passed the house unani-
mously ut the last session. 1t then
was referred to subcommittee of
the senate finance committee.
The Rogers bill represents the efforts
Of the American Legion to obtain CO.
operation between the bureaus func'
tioning for the benefit of disabled ex.
service men. It provides for the trans
fer Of the rehabilitation section OF the
federal board Of vocational training
and Of the public health service to the
Jurisdiction Of tho war risk bureau.
The plan Is to have all the bureaus un
der one directing and responsible head
preferably a new cabinet officer.
The Stevenson bill would establish
the same privilege Of retirement fol
disabled officers of the emergency
forces as Is now enjoyed by officers Of
the regular army, a privilege already
accorded by congress to emergency OF
| ficers of the navy.
