I was fortunate in finding room
that fulfilled all requirements, at Il
modest price suitable to my slender

avenue. 1t was in the back of the

me in a sort of muftled roar which

room was furnished with heavy, old
fashioned furniture which must have
been very handsome in its day. But it,

And I am hopeful that soon some

are really made. Here will be pure

TN MY opinion, then, to reject pic

the right thing to do. What should be
done is to seek means of expressing
thought in pictures-symbolical real

The eternal struggle of ambition ant

in life of man and much more frequent
than the struggle against definite op.

have rejected hitherto because it was

NOVEMBER Term
CIRCUIT COURT
TO Be BUSY One
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CASES,
BOTH CRIMINAL AND CIVIL,
WEI BE TAKEN UP.
INTEREST IN PENNINGTON CASE
Public Awaiting Action of Grand Jury
on Charge Of Murder Against Pa
trolman Jake Staggs,-other Inter
esting Cases.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
1t is indicated that the approaching
November term Of circuit court will
be a busy one indeed, Many impor-
tant cases, both civil and criminal
have been set for trial. and there is
also much work ahead for the grand
jury.
One of the most important civil
cases to come before the court is that
of Mrs. Minnie Pennington against the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of Mt.
Pleasant, in which the plaintiff seeks
to recover $1,000 as result of the
robbery Of the bank in the spring Of
1920. This case is to be tried for the
second time, the first trial resulting
in a decision for the defendant bank
but the decision of the trial judge was
reversed and the case remanded for
new trial. Upon the outcome of this
case will depend action to be taken in
similar suits aggregating some $685.
600 instituted by patrons of the bank
who had valuables stolen at the time
of the robbery.
The grand jury will be called upon
to investigate, soon after it cOnvenes
the charge of murder against city pa
trolman Jake Stages, who fatally shot
Maury Tomlinson in front of Brazier's
restaurant here last summer. Much
interest is being manifested in the
outcome of the charge Of murder pre-
ferred against Stages Immediately
after the shooting. Mr. Stages after
remaining in Jail for several days was
liberated on bond in the sum Of $4,000
and resumed his place upon the police
force.
There are several other important
cases to come up for trial also, and
quite number of bound over cases
to be investigated by the grand jury.
Up until this time Judge Turner has
not minated who he will name to sue
coed w. o. Witherspoon as foreman
of the grand jury, Mr.. WitherspoOn
having passed away since the court
was last in session The judge will
probably not make his appointment
known until the jury is convened.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.J
A more or less mysterious automo.
bile wreck occurred sometime during
last night on East Seventh street.
This morning a Ford roadster, which
had been converted into a truck, and
apparently used as a service car of
some description, was found lying bot
tom side up almost under the city
bridge on Helms branch. How the
occupants escaped death is not known.
Police this morning We're making an
investigation of the wreck, but had
been unable to locate the driver or
to learn any particulars.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the state license number, 4G049,
had been issued to John Cooley, col
ored, of Mt. Pleasant, but Cooley could
not be located and officers We're left
with very little to work upon.
The driver of the car evidently had
a miraculous escape from death. as
the car left the road just as it ap,
preached the bridge. coming in the d-
recton of the city, and crashed over
the embankment, turning completely
over.
News of the wreck spread quickly
