Age in South Carolina

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25, 1921.
to the census of 1920,
4O.8 per cent, or about two-fifths, OF
the people in the state of South Car
olina are either infants or children
under Is years of age; 1919 per cent
are young people Is to 19 years old;
1873 per cent, about one-third, are
men and women in the prime of life,
being from 20 to 40 years old; while
.14.4 per cent, being as years of age
and over, are we'll along in middle
life if they have not reached old age
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per
centage 20 to a. years of age being
4S.2 for the urban population as COM
pared with 31.8 for the rural, while
the percentage under Is years of age
is 3O.2 in the urban population as
against 43.1 in the rural. These diff
ferences may indicate large families
of children in the country than in the
city, but probably indicate also the
fact that country children as they
grow up have a tendency to flock to
the cities thereby increasing the ac-
tive adult population of the cities at
the expense of the rural districts.
Over two-ffths of the population,
1853 per cent, are old enough to vote,
being 21 or over, and in this class the
men and women are practically equal
in numbers. The males of military
or fighting age, 1S to 40, constitute
36.5 per cent of the male population
and 1872 per cent Of the total popu-
lation.

AUTO INTOXICATION-MAYBE
Man is Charged With Driving
intoxicated Automobile In
Augusta

The following is taken from TIE
Augusta Chronicle:
The unshaven and uncollared tex
cept by the oficer) defendant Va;
brought before the bar. The defen4-
ants own particular commercialize'
of evil leaned casually against one
end of the desk, apparently deeply
absorbed in counting the flies that
crawled on the ceiling.
"You are charged with driving
car under the influence of liquor
the court explained. Guilty or no.
guilty?"
"Gui-", began the defendant.
"Not guilty." shouted the casual
gentleman at the flies.
The witnesses were sworn and their
testimonies were listened to. Each
witness testified that the driver of the
car was under the influence of liquor,
but, as though considering this point
beside the question, the lawyer asked
each witness with the greatest partic-
ularity.
"Was there any liquor in the carr"
!. All of them testified guardedly
that they hadn't seed none.
"You looked for it?"
eyes, SIR"
"And never found any,"
E'No, sir.
When this was over the court gave
the lawyer the floor.
First, will your honor please re-
state the charger"
Driving a car under the influence
of liquor - repeated the myssifed
magistrate.
Exactly. 1t is quite clear, your
honor, that the case should be dismiss
ed; the witness unite in testifying
that the car contained no liquor"
eyes, and they also quite unite in
testifying that the man did"
"Ah, but if it pleases your honor,
that is not the charge. The charge
is driving a car under the influence
of liquor, is it not?"
"Your honor has apparently not
observed closely enough the wording
of the law. Now, l should like to call
your honor's attention to this: it is a
well known and accepted principle in
the writing of our English language
that an adjective phrase shall be plac-
ed, if possible, next to the noun it
modifes. We are surely not taking a
liberty to suppose that our forefath
ers who worded this law knew and
followed this rule. We may therefor
reasonably believe that the placing
of the phrase under the influence
of liquor where it at present stands
was by intention and not by accident.
Now should like to call your honor's
attention to the fact that this phrase
fmodifes the car and not the driver"
He paused a moment to let this SIM
in, then continued. at is therefor
impossible that the driver be convict
ed of being under the influence OF
liquor, when the charge by which he
is brought here states that the car
was under the influence of liquor;
and l think your honor should see
fit to dismiss the case"
The court stared at this genius for
moment incredulously, then fined
the innocent drunken driver, remark
ing:
'It was the spirit of the alcohol
that brought him here and it is the
spirit of the law that will keep him
here"

OFFICIAL STORY TO COME FIRST

Washington, Jan. S-Orders of the navy department to the three navy airmen now making their way back from the Canadian wilds not to make public any account of their flight from Rockaway station and subse- quent experiences until their official report has been submitted will stand Secretary Daniels said today, despite the appeals from newspapers and magazines which have reached him. The official account. he added would be made public as soon as 1t was re- ceived.
 Since the men are paid by the government and were travelling in government service at the expense of the public," MT. Daniels said, 'I be- Eeve the story of their experience should be available to all the people before any exclusive sstories are given out. I do not, think 1t would be fair to let some big newspaper get a scoop on such a story, just because ii can afford to send a correspondent up into Canada and offer a big sum for it."
 MT. Daniels said one paper had authorized tho representative it sent north to meet the palloonists to offer them $16,000 for a signed exclusive account by any one of the trio or by all three.
