the bullet shows that it split in two,
and made an ugly wound. He is here
in local hospital. Eatman is forty
years old and has wife and four
children. He was despondent over
money matters, owing money that
he was unable to pay. This was the
substance of note he wrote before
he shot himself, and said also that he
was going to die and to rest.

THE THRICE.A-WEEK EDITION
OF THE NEW YORK WORLD
In 1922 and 1928.

Practically a Daily at the Price of a
Weekly. No other Newspaper in the
world gives so much at so low price.
The whole world is being made over
and the United States is taking the
lead in the work. This year, particu-
larly, history will be made, and every
American citizen will be deeply in
terested. No other newspaper is bet
ter equipped to give the news of the
world at the time it is news than
The New York World.
The Thrice-a-Week edition of The
World is the greatest, example of conn
prehensive. journalism in America. 1t
will keep you as thoroughly informed
as daily, which would cost five or
six times as much. It is a unique
newspaper, published three times a
week, for 81 a year. This is the
regular subscription price and it pays
for 156 newspapers.
We offer this unequalled newspaper
and The County Record together for
one year for $685.. The regular
subscription price of the two papers
is S3.50.-adv.-tf.

Next week, beginning Monday, De-
cember 4, will be PAY-UP-WEEK.
The County Record takes this oppor-
tunity to remind number of its pa
trens, a few in particular, that re-
mittance would be accepted with ap-
probation. There are some who owe
us that never intended to pay us when
they made the obligation, but per-
haps that is our own fault to some
extent for having granted them credit,
so from this class of dead beats we
are not expecting remittance. How
ever there are more honest men in
the world than there are rascals or
dishonest ones, and it is these that
we hope to receive something on ac-
count from.

There are still large numbers. of
fields in williamsburg county in
which old cotton stalks are standing,
an open invitation to the boil weevil
to spend the winter in comfort. Va
rious conferences OF experts with
leading business men and agricul-
turists of the country recently have
stressed the destruction of cotton
stalks as essential to success in fight
ing the boll'weevil. It is such sim
pie matter to cut down the stalks that
it is hard to, understand why any
farmer should fail to heed this warn
ing. We might as well make up
minds that control of the boil weevil
will take work, constant and intelli-
gent work, and the sooner We get
on the job the sooner We will enjoy
normal cotton crops.

WANTED: BETTER JURIES.

In its latest presentment the grand
jury of Greenville county made this
forceful plea for jury reform,
"The importance of having the
best citizens of the county serve upon
the juries, both petit and grand, can
not be overestimated. We would
recommend to our delegation that a
commission consisting of five men,
bers be created by an act of the leg
islature, if such should be constitu-
tional, for the purpose of selecting
the best citizens of the county for
jury service"
This is one Of the best, most con-
structive suggestions ever made by
a grand jury in South Carolina.
If adopted, it would strengthen and
uphold the administration of justice
because it would increase the conf
dence of the people in the verdicts
Of juries. Moreover, it would tend
to prevent those frequent miscar-
riages of justice which occur when
artful lawyers play upon the preju
dices and passions of ignorant, mar
row and prejudiced jurors. 1t would
mean that more and more of the
guilty would be punished, because
there is less likely to be rotten
verdict or an unjustifable mistrial
in criminal cases where the jury box
is filled by twelve intelligent men of
high character. One narrow, illit-
crate, bone-headed pumkin can now
nullify the judgment of eleven men
of brains and unnecessarily cost the
county thousands of dollars.
Jurors at present are selected by
county officers. This system is wrong.
No matter how free these officers in
some counties may be from being
influenced by political considerations,
officers in other counties may be
swayed by them. Politics and the
adrri :stration of justice have moth
ing in common and should be divorced
absolutely. Even where the officers
do their full duty, there are always
those who will impute political or in
tested motives to them.-The Togaloo
Tribine.

resulted from one or more Of the
following causes: failure of the dis
trict to qualify for state aid, scaling
of state aid, failure of the state to
allow anything for incidentals, and
salaries in excess of the state sched-
ule. In few cases they have result
ed fapm the failure of trustees to
make careful estimate of expenditures
at the beginning of the year.
Several years ago when these de-
fcits we're small and in only a few
districts, they were disregarded, and
the schools were run as usual. But
when began my term of office in
1921, l found the Indebtedness so
large that the efficiency in a number
of our schools was being destroyed.
We shall never be able to do the best
work in our schools until we run
them on cash basis. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is illegal and un-
Just to allow school district to over
draw it's account, it is impossible for
the county to carry this financial
burden in this day of financial de-
preston. Unless sufficient amount
of revenue can be raised to iquidate
the idebtedncss, it is inevitable that
a number of the schools will have to
close shortly after Christmas. Un-
less the rural schools run six and
seven months, they lose the state aid,
and the district funds, after the de-
fcits have been deducted, will be suf-
fcient to run them on an average Of
about four months. This, of course,
is unthinkable. However, as l see it,
this is the outlook unless something
can be done.
To my mind, there are three pos
sible remedies as follows: the voting
of bonds by the districts, the voting
of additional mills by the districts,
and a blanket levy by the county
delegation to cover the indebtedness.
1 am afraid that the first two would
fail, for it would be rather hard to
get all the districts to take action.
favor the last two reasons: first, it
is right that the strong should help
the weak; second, education is not
only a district problem, but county
problem as well, and better still,
state problem.
The rural schools especially, in my
opinion, should be the benefciaries of
this blanket levy. We should work
toward equality of opportunity Our
nation will never be what it should
until we give the rural children the
same opportunity We give the city
children.
Under the present financial condi-
tions l would not for one moment
urge our people to vote additional
taxes for general advancement, but
I feel justifable in urging it in order
to save our schools. Even if our
schools cannot 60 forward, we must
not allow them to 60 back.
My purpose in writing this article
is to give the people the facts so they
will be in position to express their
wishes to the local members of the
