A Jury of inquest was empaneled
and heard the testimony of several

Bethel who was unable to determine
whether the child was white or black

of the flesh had been picked or the
bones by buZZards. .t

There will be a good deal of differ
ence of opinion about tho righteousness
of that verdict in the case Of McFad-
den against the Anderson Motor co.
According to the testimony, the driver
of the car was running along where he
had Il right to bc, well within the
speed limits,a and the little girl was
walking along where she ought to have
been and in perfect safety. Inc child
suddenly sought to cross the street
right in front of the automobiles all
unconcious of her danger, of course.
Under the circumstances it was almost
=. miracle that the child was not killed.
The question before the jury was the
measure of responsibility for the accl-
dent. and the jury found that the
driver was responsible, not actually OF
course but technically. We do not
question the jury's finding in the mat
ter; but that the question was close
one there is no room for argument.
What the supreme court will do re-
mains To be seen. But if the supreme
court does uphold the verdict, it Will
undoubtedly be notice to automobile
drivers that they must be on the look

In the selection of DR.. j. Il. Johnson,
of Rock Hill, for the presidency OF the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Asso-
citation, that organization has placed at
its head the best man 1T could have
found in the state for the position. DR..
Johnson is a practical business man, a
practical farmer, and man of charac-
:er, energy and ability. AS a farmer he
has had to meet and solve all the prob
lens that have confronted other farm
ers-iinancial problems, labor prob
lens, fertilizer problems, seasonal
problems and everything else. Per-
sonally nc has always cultivated u
deep, broad, helpful sympathy for MS
fellow man generally and his fekpw
farmers especially, and those who
know and understand him fully appre-
ciatc that his only purpose in ever be-
coming a member of the cotton grow
ers association was for the good he
wanted to do for others rather than
the benefit he expects TO secure for
himself. 1t is certainly that same
motive that has induced him TO accept
the place TO which he has just been
elected, because on account of his large
and prosperous personal business in
tercsts, he could not possibly afford TO
give his time for any other consider
alton.

There is no question about the fact
that the next step inthe real progress OF
our public school system is solution Of
the high school problem. The high
school pupils are taking up to" large
proportion of the time Of the teachers
in the two and three teacher schools,
and some way must be found under
which the high school pupils can re-

without neglecting the lower grades.
