LAURELS FOR THE COUNTY
COUNCIL

From the Partisan presses the past
let rightly extolling the virtues of the
Henry County Council of Agriculture,
which thru the untiring efforts and
efficiency of it's organizer, County
Agent A Patrick, has accomplished
much for the farmers of this county,
and which has many beneficial plans
for the coming year.
The County Council is composed
| of several hundred of the leading
| farmers of the county. Its office in
| the court house, is a satisfactory
farmers headquarters, where they
may go for advise or information,
where they may carry any farm
problem with the pleasing certainty
of obtaining beneficial consideration.
Thru the efficiency of the County
Council, Henry county growers of red
clover, have this year been saved
some $12,500 on the sale of red clio
yer sedan amount that would
otherwise, have gone into other peck
cts than those of farmers.
Sweet potato growers, raisers of
poultry and live stock, others of va
rious agriculture interests in the
county, have reaped signal benefit
from the first years existence of the
County Council of Agriculture.
Future accomplishment of this
splendid organization, its expanded
efforts and increased benefit to Henry
County farmers depends upon the
continued and augmented co-opera-
ton of the farmers. There are some
few farmers of the county, who have
not yet affiliated themselves with the
County Council, but who should speed
! lily become members and lend their
support to mutual and general ben
eft.

MANY GIRLS VANISH.
Record Shows That $1,000 Disappeared
Last Year.

Sixty-five thousand girls disappear
ed in the United States last year with
out leaving trace. The great major
ity were lured to the big cities from
the small towns and their fate is an
unsolved mystery.
This story was brought to the ma
tional congress of Mothers and Par
Teachers Association convention
in Washington, with plea for the Gre
alton Of central bureau to help find
missing girls. Lieut.. Catherine Van
Wrinkle Of the District Of Columbia po-
lice department told the convention one
Of the biggest needs Of the country was
to save the army of girls who annually
are lost in the maelstrom of the big
cities. Police department and civic as

able to cope with the situation success
fully, she said.
She asked the convention to take
immediate steps to create central bu-
reau with auXiliaries in all parts Of the
country for the purpose Of co-ordinat-
ing and enlarging the facilities for
tracing lost girls.

CHARLOTTE DOCTOR WORRIED.
Alarmed Because North Carolinians

Alarmed Because North Carolnians
Come to YorkviI'e TO Be Married.
There are three reasons, and all of
them are based on ignorance" declar-
ed ". A. McPhaul, city physician. ITO
account for the exodus of marrying
COUPLES into South Carolina
First" said DR.. McPhaul, to the
Charlotte Observer. Saturday. there
is the question of few men who hes
itate at paying the physical examina-
ton fees for their examination in the
city. Perhaps many do not realize that
the cost Of a trip to York county for
two or half a dozen people will cost
much more than the license will cost.
Second, the candidates for marriage,
like so many other people OF the world,
don't like to have to do thing they
feel they must do because Of legal COM
pulsion. Many a man refuses to be
married here in Mecklenburg and at
home because a law has been passed to
make him undergo an examination If
he Is married at home, so he makes the
trip to the South Carolina towns just
over>the way.
Third, there is that class Of men
who fear, to undergo the examinations.
feeling that the result will debar them
perhaps from marriage >Of this class
little can be said now, since they have
a way out, though I cannot see why
the wife -to-be does not grow .suspi-
cious in many of these cases and begin
to ask confusing questions.
"The law will never compel people
to submit to it," declared DR.. McPhaul
with emphasis. at is question Of
education and public opinion. When
these are developed, then we may look
for results.
"The question was variously discuss
ed at the meeting of the North Carolina
state health officers association and
many papers were read. All showed
that counties along the line both of
South Carolina and Virginia are hav-
ing a similar experience to that of
Mecklenburg"
DR.. McPhaul said that he also read
a paper before the association dealing
in part with this question.

close of the arguments in civil case,
one Of the jurors asked the trial judge
to tell him which was the plaintiff and
which was the defendant in the case
Local attorneys as we'll as visiting at
torneys," adds The Enquirer, said that
never before in all their experience had
they heard such a question asked" 1t
is quite reasonable that a lawyer
should express surprise when such
question is asked. but there is nothing
surprising about it to the average lay
man. The laynan' does not understand
legal par lance; he is not versed in the
rules Of court, and unless he Is what is
known as an expert" juror, court
phrases and court proceedings are as
so much, Greek to him. He Is a school
boy in the court room Juries are made
up of men whose lives run in channels
entirely different from those Of Judges,
lawyers and court attaches. AS rule
their. vocations do not require them to
study the meaning Of legal words and
phrases, and it is no reflection on the
intelligence Of the men who serve as
jurors to say that not one-half Of them
could give anything like a clear analy-
sis of the testimony at the conclusion
of case We have seen judges who
did not understand a case after the tes-
timony had been taken and the argu-
ments made On one occasion lead
ing lawyer OF eastern South Carolina
sat as Special judge ina case invo'v-
ing many fine legal points At the con-
clusion Of the case he wrote his deci-
sion and then went home and after
studying over the case reversed him
SELF The supreme court reversed him
and practically sustained his first de-
cree. What then can be expected OF
the layrnan when he sits as juror on
a case involving much testimony of a
conflicting nature? We do not believe
the rules Of conrt. should be modified.
but they should he simpljfed. Instead
Of plaintiff" and defendant" why not
designate the principals in case nv
their names as "Mr. Smith or Mr.
BROWNE" Or follow the title Of the case
and refer to them as "Mr. Smith. the
plaintiff" and "Mr. Brown. the defend
ant" If that mad been the rule the
Yorkville juror would have had a
clearer understanding Of the case at
the conclusion Of the testimony and
arguments.-Dillon Herald.

brother, Sam used to carry off a lot OF
county prizes.

ing his prize acre last year were the
we'll known Goodman's Prolific. The
crop was planted May 10. The bud
worms came: along, however and got
the young corn-practically all l'g%of it.
On June 6, the crop was re-planted.: Z

The corn ground was in good shape,
however, before the crop was planted.
vetch which was waist high was on
the ground. This was turned under
with disk harrow and, the ground
was narrowed and cultivated until 1t
was in the best possible shape It
was the vetch that made the corn.
After the corn started growing good,
Hugh didn't fail to work it
The crop was. gathered about De-
cember. The fodder was left on the
stalks. Messrs. John F. Gordon and
John Campbell weighed the, corn, as
representatives of the department Of
agriculture. y
Now Hugh has his land in shape to
go after the state record again.
He doesn't know for sure of course
whether he is going to win or not; but
he knows that he has been successful
once and really he sees no reason why
he can't do it again.
Besides, now since the boys have
made such a wonderful record it Is in
a way up to some one Of them to keep
the honor in the Campbell family.
