Ger Owners want more rubber On the tread where the wear is
hardest; more gum between cord plies to perfect a resilient and
powerful carcass. And they want a scientifically constructed Non
Skid tread with all angles and contacts to resist skidding and give

be shed"-Gen. go.
l attended court sometime ago in
another state where a man was tried
for murder. This was the, third time
that the case had been tried. The
man killed another in a hotel, wit
messed by a big crowd, but he was ac-
Quilted and walked out of the court
room as free as a jack rabbit in a
briar patch. But like Lady Macbeth,
he will always smell blood on his fin
gers, and all the rich perfume of
Arabia will lever sweeten them.
I notice that Fox, the father of the
fellow who helped murder the young
man near Leesville, has been before
the governor asking Communication of
sentence to life Imprisonment. And
it was also argued that Fox being a
North Carolinian was not familiar
with the laws of this state. That is to
say, that Fox did not know that it
was a violation of the laws OF South
Carolina to brutality murder and rob
a man and then drag his body out in
the forest for the ~Yultures of the air
and the beasts Of the forest. Who
ever did hear of such a pretext! We
need men with high ideals of what
civil law stands for, to sit upon the
jury. They should be men after the
flesh. / have said and nov say that it
is the laxity of the law that is one
great cause of so much lawlessness
The law should be executed in full
force, and put a stop to SO much vic.
lence in the land.

TWO BIG ATTRACTIONS AT THE
PRINCESS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.

The attraction for Monday 25, is
William S. Hart in "The Testing
Block" 1t is a story Of life on the
redwood slopes, in the days when
might was right, and the man who
could draw his guns quickest survived.
but like all Hart productions is is a
masterful blending Of dramatic acting
and fact action, in which right trinm-
phs over wrong, and the guilty gets
full punishment. 1t is without doubt
the strongest picture Hart has made
in long while. There is also a Com
edy on the program.
The attraction for Tuesday 26th is
Roscoe FATTY Arbuckle, in the laugh
hit of 1921 "Brewsters Millions" there
are few who are not familiar with the
story by George Barr McCutcheon.
and many have seen the stage play,
but we assure you that you have never
laughed as much in your life, as you
will at Fatty Arbuckle in this picture,
it is scream from start to finish.
Better not miss Monday and Tues

tees to this fact in no uncertain terms
We also find the sanitation is bad
.at the Barrow School, and that trash
bis allowed to accumulate in the fur
mace room. AT the Union Academy
we find that the roof is in bad shape
and the fire escapes of such 'charac-
ter that no one could use them. As
regards sanitation, at the Union Aca-
denny, we find that there is no such
thing, and that steps should be taken
at once to eliminate the condition of
filth which we found.
We have inspected the jail and find
the prisoners well cared for, the Jail
well kept except for want of proper
screening of the kitchen. We call this
fact to the attention of the Board of
Supervisors, and recommend that pro-
per screens be provided.
We have inspected the hotels and
play houses of the city, and with one
exception find adequate fire protect
ion. The exception to which we wish
to call attention is inadequate fire es-
capes at the Gilmer Hotel.
We have done our best to thoroughly
investigate every violation of the Law
that has been brought to our attention
and have done our best to return in
dictments in each and every case
where the evidence justified. From
our investigation we feel that we are
justified in saying that crime is on the
decrease in this county with the ex-
ception of the violation of the prohi-
bition laws. We have sought by all
means available to us to bring these
into the machinery of the
court with the hope that it may re-
suit in the conviction of the guilty
snd constitute a forward movement
in the stamping out of this traffic.
We desire to express our sincere APP
probation of the efficient manner in
which the officers of the court have
waited on this body, and most especi-
ally do we desire to thank the very
able District Attorney for the eff
cient and untiring assistance he has
us. We also desire to thank
your Honor for YOUR able charge and
assure you that itlhas made whole
impression UPON our minds, and
we trust upon theIgreat public mind,
so that our effortsshall be backed up
by the public and that our efforts
shall not have beedin vain
Now, having male our final report
and performed ourIduties as best we
could, we beg to befmsllly discharged.
