FORcEFUL CHARGES.

Speaking of ''forceful charges" by
the judges. both. state and federal
the Abbeville Press and Banner
makes this comment: "What does the
man who makes two thousand dollars
in five months in the pursuit OF a
. criminal avocation care when he may
with a part of his ill-gotten gains pay
the laws penalty :.
.@ That may be one way of creating
a healthy public sentiment against
lawlessness. But there; must pc a
right thinking and right standard
set up to which, we will endeavor to
live before we can get the right sort
of public sentiment, and even heavy
penitentiary sentences will not de-
ter the criminal, though we saw 1t
stated that crime was lowest in per-
centage among the Chinese OF any
other nation, and it may be that the
old custom among these peoples OF
the infliction of the death sentence
for all crimes was strong deterrent
to crime. The belief that punishment
is certain will act very strongly as a
preventative. No doubt about that
And it may be that in many cases our
iudges have been too lenient in the
imposition of sentences. But the
surest preventive is hearty and
wholesome public sentiment in favor
of right living.-Newberry Herald
and News.

SET A NEW DIVORCE RECORD
(From the New York Sum-

(From the New York Sum-
America has so long been regard
ed as the home of quick and easy di-
vorce that it has come as a distinct
shock to staid Bri6shers to learn
that the divorce courts in London
are churning out DEGREES at the rate
of one every seven. and half min
utes of working time. Further,
there is waiting list of some 1000
persons seeking divorces when the
judges have time to spare.
Now as many as six or seven
courts are grinding out divorces ot
an unprecedented rate. Justice Hill
recently broke all records by Gun
marrying" 1873 couples in one min
ute. He accomplished this BY taking
his entire list of decree nisis" (the
final divorce DEGREES after the statu-
tory period of six months from the
trial, when the divorce is pronounc-
ed "absolute'O and pronounced cab
soltue" in one bunch after the clerk

SUPREME COURT
CLOSES SESSION
Adjournment of Highest Tribunal
Until October Third-Tax De-
cision Given

Washington, June THE supreme
court ended its regular term today
adjourning until October 8. Most OF
the justices plan to leave at once fol
their summer vacations.
Dismissal of the governments ap'
peal, on motion of Solicitor General
Frierson, from lower court DEGREES
holding that the American Can COM
pany did not constitute a monopoly
under the Sherman act and a decision
against the government in the estate
tax case marked the final days ses-
sion.
The solicitor general filed with the
court only a few hours before it
closed motion to dismiss the ap-
peal IN the American Can case but
gave no reason when submitting his
motion. Later he explained that the
action had been taken because of the
evident meaning of the courts deci-
sion in a similar case against the
United States Steel corporation when
it held that Unreasonable restraint
must be proven before the law could
be invoked. p
Executors of the estate Of the late
Alan H. Woodward of Alabama were
upheld by the court in their conten-
ton that the estate tax assessed un-
der the act of 1916 was an "allow-
able deduction" in computing the net
income of the estate for the income
tax. A decree of the court of claims
holding that the internal revenue au-
thorities had erred in refusing to al
low such deduction was affirmed.
The Woodward estate paid a tax
of $490,OO0 on transfer and was as
sessed $165,oOO as income tax on the
amount so paid out. The income tax
law, the court held, was explicit in
allowing deductions of '''taxes paid
o. accrued within the taxable yea,
imposed by the authority of the
United States except income, wal
profits and excess profits taxes
Since the estate tax was federal tax
and was not included in the excep.
tons, the court held that it was de-
ductable.
Most Of the cases of general inter
est remained undecided today were
ordered restored to the docket fol
reargument before a full bench"

1000. *N.
The amendment for a minimum
army of 10000 as. compares with
the house provision for an average

strongly supported during debate.

affairs committee in a statement
prelimiaryrto actual taking up of the
bill, told the senate that the recon-.
mendation represented the absolute
minimum considered safe by secre-
tary Weeks and the war depart
ment.

80 percent according to records of

been one-fifth of what they were last

ally we ship in several carloads of
young mules and in trading we take
in a number of secondhand ones.
This year we have hardly shipped in
any and have taken in only a few old
ones"
W. G. Turpin, of the G. A. and W.
G. Turpin Co., stated that their sales
showed a decrease of more than rs
percent for this season over last.
awe have not been able to do any
thing in the mule business this year,
he stated. eve have always had an
excellent business but this year we
have not been able to do much. For
this year we have sold less than rs
percent of the amount we sold last
year. The farmers are either using
old stock or are just not planting
what they generally do"
Which is taken to mean that the
farmers are going ahead on just as
cheap basis as possible, and are not
extending. but rather curtailing OPP
