The Herald is in receipt of COM
munication from the Vicksburg Ma
tional Military Park commission, IN
which the support Of this newspaper
is asked in behalf of an appropriation
by the general assembly for a state
memorial on South Carolina circle in
the Vicksburg (Miss.) National Mil
itary park. The commission states
that from funds the war department
placed at its disposal, bronze portrait
ibusts of two distinguished South Car
olinians have been placed in the park,
these two being Generals Evans and
Grist, and the commission has also
secured as gift to the park bronze
portrait statue of another distinguish
ed South Carolina officer, General
Stephen D. Lee. The commission
suggests a bronze statue heroic size
of Governor Francis w. Pickens, one
OF South Cardinals civil war gov
ernors, who held the governors Of
fee from 1860 to 1852, though we
presume any other distinguished son
that may be selected would be accept
able to the commission.

South Carolina has always been up
among the leaders in most things,
and, according to a recent census
announcement, South Carolina takes
a leading place in the list of states
in the percentage Of population en-
gagged in gainful occupation. or
the entire population of this
state 1,21S,316 persons ten
years of age or over were engaged IN
gainful work. This is 55.3 per cent.
of the entire population, and places
South Carolina fourth in rank among
all the states Of the union, only the
states of Nevada, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts showing higher per-
centage. The percentage of females
engaged in such occupations is 1874,
and this percentage is the highest
among all the states, though the Dis
trict of Columbia, with its numerous
government offices employing female
labor, shows a higher percentage.

Apollo Music Club Meeting.

Mrs. F. NJ. Moye and Mrs. P. j.
Zeigler were hostesses to the Apollo
Music club at its regular meeting on
Thursday afternoon, Dec. s. The pro-
gramme of music was dispensed with
in order. to have time for the discus
sion of the unusually large amount
of business on hand
After gathering reports from all
the different committees of the ba-
zaar held in connection with Farmers
Exchange Week it was found that a
very neat sum had been realized and
that the club had been strengthened
by the spirit of cooperation shown by
the members at all times.
The club is planning to sell Red
Cross Christmas seals in order to help
fight the dreaded plague of tubercu-
losis, and is also planning some
gifts to the sick and needy of this
community.
In order to assist in upholding the
spirit of Christmas cheer and good
will, the members of the club will
get together on Christmas eve and
sing Christmas carols on the streets
and at every home in town that will
burn candle in it's window as a sign
that the occupants would like to be
sung to.
Other matters of less Importance
were discussed, after which the hos
tesses served a delicious salad course
with coffee. The meeting then ad-
journed to meet with Miss Vista Brab-
ham early in January.

VERY SIMPLE NATTER.
Herald Reader Tells Just How You
May Quickly Make Income Return.

A friend and reader. of The Herald
makes an interesting contribution on
the popular question of making your
income tax return. 1t is Illuminating
if not instructive:
Since it is near time for everybody
to figure their income tax, we would
like to submit the following from a
friend who landed in Columbia try
ing to figure his out:
IF your income is $2,4OO.O0 or
more and you married a good looking
woman and own an automobile, fig
ure your tax by arithmetic, geometry,
trigonometry, syntax and surtax.
Multiply your income by your
wife's age. Subtract your age. Null
tiplv by your collar size. Add your
waist measure, plus your trouser
ength. minus your wife's skirt length.
Bring down balance to column ]. Sec
ton B, add section A, column B.
Take your total and multiply by
your automobile license number, de-
duct size of your shoe. Multiply by
your postoffice box number, and, un-
der deductions:
Take off $4,000 for each child
and add what YOU spent at shows and
carnivals, picture shows, and deduct
what you paid the preacher, church,
Red Cross, Near East, Chinese and
other reliefs, like centenary, educa-
ton, etc.
Multiply total by months in year,
days in week.
"You will not have to pay any tax,
for they will find you in some place
strapped down"

ThG presence IN 6amDefS CQlS "eeh
of Judge Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken,
who is presiding at the special ses-
sion of criminal court here, recalls a
notable appeal he made few weeks
ago to the grand jury Of York county
Judge Rice is a Bamberg county
product, by the way, as most of the
readers of The Herald know. The
judges remarks to the York grand
jury, in part, were as follows.
Few men who commit murder in
South Carolina pay the penalty they
should pay. If man commits mur-
der and is allowed to go free in nine
cases out of ten he will commit an
other murder. AS long as petit ju-
rors fail to do their duty in murder
cases. so long will South Carolina
have the name of being the worst
state in the union in number of dia-
bolical holnicides. It has been charg-
ed that man who steals horse. COW
or hog in South Carolina is always
convicted, but if he kills his fellow
HAL, u0 Is dllUN GU W SO Tree.
| have recently tried three cases
where men were killed by being shot
in the back and petit jurors turned
the murderers loose when they plead
ed self defence, the only defence they
could plead. The charge is made that
one can not get justice in a South
Carolina court house and it does seem
so. If petit jurors are not RESPONSE
BILE then l do not know who is. The
trouble with most petit jurors is that
they think they have right to set
tie case as they please, regardless
of the law and evidence. So long as
Jurors fail to make murderers pay,
so long will murder run rampant in
South Carolina.

What to do with the big motor
trucks is question that is troubling
the road authorities everywhere. The
heavy automobile truck is thing Of
only recent years. In fact four or~five
years ago there was but one truck in
this county. Now there are scores
OF them, many with a tremendous ca
pacity for loads The old ox-carts are
things of the past to the saw mill
man, who can transport cheaper and
far quicker logs out of the forests
with heavy truck. But these trucks
tear the roads to pieces. The finest
sand-clay road will soon give away
under the strain of the big truck. Dis
cussing this matter, the Cauhoun
Times in a recent issue says: y
One of the most vital questions be-
fore the public today is that of good
roads. The day of good roads has
come to stay. In course of time
bad road will be curiosity. In the
meantime the point in road making
is to build a road that will accommo-
date the traffic. This wasn't such a
big question when the horses couldn't
pull very much over a sandy or mud
dy road. But now the motor truck
measures it's capacity by the power
OF its engine. There seems to be no
way Of building a roadway that will
keep up with the capacity of the big
motor truck. Not even the paved city
streets can long stand up under the
heavy motor truck traffic, but abound
in holes and hollows.

out intending any reflections upHn the
finer instincts or roDiar traits Of our
great sister s.ate across the SaTan-
nal, / is none 81 less 4 truth that
the unfortunate tity Of Augusta is
dependent to larsa extent up;n
trade from this side of the river
for her commercial supremacy and
that the citizenship of Augusta is
largely constituted OF South Caro-
lima blood. Such people are not to
be downed; Augustus spirit is in
vincible and shall not be conquered.
Within the past decade and a half
Augusta has suffered five separate
and distinct catastrophes, any one of
which would have sounded the death
knell of a less courageous, less de-
termined people. 1t is the fellow who
is down, the fellow who is dealt a
death blow, the fellow who can sur
mount obstacles and overcome noun
famous difficulties, who wins the hight
for life; and after each instance OF
devastation and destruction proud
old Augusta with head erect has
emerged from the dire consequences
of utter ruin, pathetic in her mis-
fortunes, yet glorious in the magnlh-
cent fidelity of her loyal citizens, with
answering confidence in her future
fighting the very battle for her ex-
istence with the outside world look
ing on in admiration. Augusta has
despite it all stood to the front, proud
of the traditions of her glorious past,
ambitious as to the present and con-
fdent of the future Such spirit is
not to be denied - and though in re-
cent gloom and sorrow the light OF a
new day dawns upon fair Augusta,
when in this, the new critical period
of her existence, in her hour of des-
tiny, she begins rebuilding, recon
structing, with the sympathy, though
unasked for, of the outside world.
Such a citizenship is worth more
to her than all the granite and stone
moulded into buildings until the end
of time. Strong men and true, high
minded men; men who know the
right, and knowing, dare maintain.
it was about 1906 when the first
disastrous flood surged down upon,
the city of misfortunes taking an aw-
full toll. Almost before the high
prints of the water left on some OF
the buildings had vanished another
flood deluged the city, with damage
in the millions. Since then more
than a million has been spent for
levee which now amply protects the
city from the high waters OF the Sa-
vannah. But in 1910 Augusta was
visited by terrible cyclone, and then
on March 22nd, 1916, the great con-
flagration occurred which entailed
loss of approximately ten millions.
Last Saturday a week ago the Sec
ond big fire ragged and their loss ap-
preached two millions. 1t reads al
most like fiction, tragic fiction, but 1t
isn't. And knowing the splendid
spirit and determination Of her gal
liant and noble people it is foregone
conclusion that brave old Augusta
will again sustain her grandeur, arise
from the ashes of her smoulderlng
ruins, and with just sense of pride
in her glorious achievements of the
past, go forth on and on to renewed
heights of greater achievement IN
the future. All hail, all honor, to our
sister stricken city. With her loins
girded for future progress, Augusta
can; Augusta will.

7lUo K. Of C. Leagues
 Formed For Season
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CIRCUITS AGREED ON AT NEW HAVEN MEETING FORMER MAY BE MADE UP OF TEN CLUBS.

The state athletic committee of the Knights of Columbus will conduct two K. of C. Leagues the coming basketball season. This matter was definitely de- cided upon at a meeting held Sunday afternoon at New Haven when repre- sentatives from some thirty odd councils were present.
 There will be Northern and South ern League. The former will embrace Hartford, New Britain, Manchester, Southington, Rockville, Willimantic, Meriden, Terryville, Middletown and possibility Winsted and Torrington. Ii the last two named are taken in, the league will be a ten-Club affair. Man. chester, Rockville, Willimantlc, Wlnsted adn Torrington were not represented IT the league that was run last year.
 The southern section of the state will include teams from Bridgeport, Stam- ford, Greenwich, South Norwalk, Dan- bury, New Haven and New Milford Outside of New Haven, none of the teams named were in the fold last year. It IS planned to have the winners of the re- spective leagues in a series at the ter imitation of the schedules.
 Last year six clube were enrolled IT the league, the teams being Hartford New Britain, Bristol, Middletown, South ington and New Haven. The season was such a tremendous success with the re- suit that other councils throughout the state have been clamoring for admission This brought about the idea of forming two leagues.
 A meeting of the Northern League will be held Sunday at Middletown while the Southern League will gather Sunday November 6 at BridpeDOrt
 The following teams were represented at Sundays meeting: Hartford, Meriden Southington, Torrington, Winsted, Mid dletown, Derby, Rockville, Naugatuck Manchester, Putnam, Willimantic, New Canaan South Norwalk, Bridgeport Waterbury, Branford New Haven, New Britain and Ansonia.
 At Sundays meeting in Middletown the schedule will probably be worked out:

BRITISH BOXERS ARE IDLE TOO MUCH
 TO KEEP IN TRIM
Some Manage to Fight Three or Four Times Year, But
 Feel It.

Having lost faith in the monkey gland treatment since its shining after taking example dropped dead on his way to Albert Hall to tell a hopeful audience how to live to be 150, boxing promoters are trying to find some other method to liven up the torpid British boxer
 It is no light task Some of the lighter. physically and financially, boys manage to get enough steam up to fight every two or three months: but to the heavies, they think they've put in hard year when they have fought twice.
 That, boxing experts have begun to think, is the reason the average BritOn who goes to the Statss is not recognized by his friends when he gets back until he has had a new set of teeth put in.
 Mai. J. Arnold Wilson, the leading promoter over there since Charles c.. Cochran found out that a contract to the ordinary boxer is only a contract when it is in his interest to carry 1t out, has suggested the introduction of the mo- decision bout.
 Over there. to date, the boxing en- thusiast has always demanded that a nght get somewhere. This Major Will son feels IS the main reason why there are few fights, in addition, of course, to the fact that there are only a few towns in which 1t pays to stage fights, and that London is the only possible place for a big match.
 Major Wilson thinks 1t unfair that champion boxer, who has something to lose if he slips, should not be called upon to fight every month or so But he feels that if no-decision bouts could be arranged, with a knockout the only possible way of obtaining a decision III d short bout, 1t might be possible to jazz things up a bit. Now all the big heavy bouts are a championship length-2O rounds.
 Fighters in America" Major Wilson Some of them fight every fortnight or even every week That is the reason they are good. Joe Beckett has lost two of his last fights because in each of them he has met a new offense and he cannot be at his best at that because he cannot solve 1t quickly enough If he had been trained in the no-decision school, con- stantly meeting new men, using all pos sible methods of Offense and defense he would have had chance either against Carpenter or Moran, for he Is a heavy puncher and can take fair beating. DON'T FIGHT ENOUGH.
 "Bombadier Wells would have got along lot better if he had been forced to go in the ring frequently against all sorts of men. I think that is true of almost all our fighters. They do not work enough, and when they meet man they must think out what man trained in the American school would know be- forehand."
 Major Wilson is starting immediately to test his theory. He had already ar ranged one elimination contest for minor heaveyweights and is likely this winter to try to get some of the leaders into short fights.
