DEN5Y is RILED.
Says Naval Academy Dissraced by
Much Drinking at Football Game.


The conduct of the Annapolis mid
shipmen at the Army Navy football
game in Philadelphia last Saturday,
was arraigned in a public statement
last Monday by Secretary DENLY ot
the navy department, declaring that
members of the corps had brought dis
grace not only upon themselves, but
on the Naval. academy. ,rLen, 20
How many midshipmen drank
heavily 1 do not know" said the sec
retary's statement, but he added that
despite the good behavior of many,
enough midshipmen had failed to do
their duty to their uniform and to their
country to bring shame upon ALL" lie
announced that an investigation would
be ordered.
Secretary Denby's statement fol-
lows:
MY attention has been called to the
misconduct of a number of midship-
men from the Naval academy on Sat-
urday night, after the Army Navy
game. have no desire to minimize In
any way the fact that many of the
mid9hipmen did disgrace themselves
and bring disgrace upon the Naval
academy, for l know it to be true.
am shocked beyond measure that srich
things could have occurred. The mis-
conduct on that occasion vas, as far
as l know, the most fragrant that has
ever been charged against the acade--
my. How many midshipmen drank
heavily / do not know. The Whole
regiment was in Philadelphia. Only
relatively small proportion Of the reg
iment attended the ball. OF this small
proportion / think the great majority
conducted themselves with propriety,
but enough failed Of their duty to their
uniform and to their country to bring
shame upon all. Such. an occurrence
will never be repeated, for such steps
as are necessary will be made to make
it impossible.
"In this connection I wish to make
it quite clear that the Naval academy
has hithertofore set an example to the
country of good conduct on such occa-
sions and will set examples in the fu- I
ture. was so proud Of them at the
game, which was one Of the most
thrilling have seen and where saw
absolutely no evidence Of drinking
among the midshipmen, that later
events of the evening came as an abb
solute shock. When think of the pic
ture presented by our 1900 young men
standing at'cap salute in honor Of the
visitors while the cadets celebrated
upon the field the well-won success I
can hardly reconcile their sportsman
like conduct then with what occurred
afterwards. An investigation will at
once be ordered"

LAW AS TO APPEALS
After Discovered Evidence Don't Go
Without Permission.

The state supreme court Monday
afternoon handed down a decision
which tightens still further the loop
holes in the criminal law and criminal
legal procedure in South Carolina,
when it announced the adoption of
what will be known as Rule 81"
which prohibits the making OF appeals
on the ground of after discovered evil
dence, without the supreme court first
giving permission for such a motion.
Rule 81 reads as follows:
The following practice shall be OBJ
served in the matter of motions for

ing upon appeal in the supreme court,

OFF TO PENlTENTIARY
Roy Henderson of Cherokee County
Begins Life Sentence.

Roy Henderson of Cherokee County
Begins Life Sentence.
Officers from the South Carolina
state penitentiary are expected to ar,
rive in Gaffney tonight or tomorrow to
take in custody Roy Henderson, Is
years Of age, young Cherokee county
man who has been sentenced to life
Imprisonment, and they will carry the
youthful Cherokee prisoner to Column
bia where he will begin the service Of
the sentence.
Orders that Henderson be taken to
the South Carolina penitentiary were
issued in Court of General Sessions
here, Judge 1. w. Bowman presiding,
last Saturday afternoon and followed
motion to that effect presented by
Butler & Hall, attorneys for the de-
fendant, says the Cherokee Times Of
Tuesday. An appeal has been taken
from the sentence imposed in Court Of
General Sessions, and transporting
Henderson to Columbia to begin the
service of his sentence does not mean
that the appeal has been abandoned,
but merely gives the attorneys suffi-
cient time in which to perfect the ap-
peal, the case having already been filed
in the solicitors office. When motion
was made last Saturday by Butler &
Hall that the defendant be taken to
Columbia to begin serving his sentence,
no objection was offered by Solicitor
Blackwood, and accordingly the order
was entered. .F.eia
When Henderson was 16 years Of
age, he and two little Kirby boys, one
eight and the other six, were hunting
in the Goucher section Of the countS,
this community being their home,
when the two little boys were killed.
After several days had elapsed, Hen
derson was arrested and charged with
the crime, but he maintained that the
little boys had been killed by negro.
He was sent to the state hospital for
the insane at Columbia for mental ex-
animation but was later returned to
CHeTOkGe, the dllenlSlS SldllIlB lHdL no
had the mentality of a nine-year-old
boy. He was then arraigned and tried
in Court of General Sessions, the jury
returning verdict Of guilty of mur-
ier, with a recommendation to the
mercy of the court, this verdict carry
ing with it an automatic sentence to
life Imprisonment. His attorneys then
appealed the case, since which time
Henderson had been in Jail here.
Although he has been a prisoner in
the Cherokee county Jail since Now
ember 20, 1920, Sheriff watkins says
that Roy mas always made splendid
prisoner. He says that the youth has
never caused him the slightest trou-
BILE in any respect and that never but
twice has he asked that any favor be
performed for him, these occasions be-
ing when he desired a few cigarettes
from town.

must look it up to see that nothing is
put overt" Public opinion now is
get the dollar"
Sometimes when I see or hear of
some of these subscriptions where they
sign up widows, orphans or anybody
else for all they can get and for as
long as they can get them to sign,
whether it is for the church or not,
doesn't look straight and honest to me.
1t was to be admired when the widow
gave her mite" but it didn't mean that
she was solicited or persuaded to give
it. 1t seems to me that committees
are sent out to get the money from
anybody or in any way they can, and
the bigger show each committee makes
the more they think of themselves.
Men are still nothing but overgrown
boys. The boy says: You gave Willie
baseball, you got to give me one,
too" The girl says: You gave Mary
a dress, you got to give me one, too"
The man says: THE Methodists or
Baptists or some other denomination
got new church, or Sunday School
room, you've got to give us one, too"
No one cared much about it until the
other got it, and then vanity and rival
ry come in and we have just got to
have it whether we have the money or
not, and right now, just any way we
can get it, and then the dollar looms
up, and then the schemes to get the
dollar.
Some fellow pulling crooked details,
some fellows taking advantage of ig-
norance and conditions, some fellows
soliciting subscriptions from widows,
orphans, clerks and others who can
hardly make ends meet will probably
say this is all bunk" Well, perhaps,
so, but say, as far as your conscience
is concerned it is all bunk" you
haven't any. The almighty dollar is
the biggest devil today. Religion
should, in my opinion, encourage
character building and our lives should
be built on fact and truth.-John T.
Roddey in Rock Fill Record.

That is not true. His force includes

For Benefit of Employees.
Here" said this morning an en-
ployer of men, sis a sermon in verse
that would be worth much to young
employees if they would read it and
profit by it,:
I'm not supposed to do that" said he,
When an extra task he chonced to see;
That's not my job, and it's not my
care
So I'll pass it by and leave it there"
And the boss who gave him his week
ly pay
Lost more than his wages on him that
day.
'I'm not supposed to do that" he said.
THAT duty belongs to Jim or Fred"
So a little task that was in his way,
That he could have handled without
delay,
Was left unfinished; the way was
paved
For a heavy loss that he could have
saved.
And time went on and he kept his place
But he never altered his easy pace,
And folks remarked on how well he
knew
The line of tasks he was hired to do;
Fer never once was he known to turn
His hands to things not of his con-
Germ.
But there in his foolish rut he stayed
And for all he did was fairly paid,
But he never was worth a dollar
more
Than he got for his toll when the
week was DER;
For he knew too well when his work
was through
And he'd done all he was hired to do.
If you want to grow in this world,
young man,
You must do every day all the work
you can;
If you find a task, though it's not
your bit,
And it should be done. take care
of it,
And you'll never conquer or rise if you
DO only the things you're supposed
TO do.

WOMEN TIGERS IN JAIL
No Discrimination Should be Made Be-
tween Sexes, Says Greene.

tween SeSes, Gays STeene.
The imposition of heavy Jail sent
ences upon two women in liquor cases
during the recent term of criminal
court in Anderson, which was adjourn
ed Saturday afternoon and the attitude
of Judge William p. Greene, of Able
vile, in which he made it obvious that
in the administration of justice in his
court no discrimination is made be-
tween the sexes, establishes something
Of a precedent in criminal court history
in Anderson county.
Rather than manifesting a desire to
be lcnient with feminine violators of
the state laws, Judge Green impressed
upon the two women sentenced by him
the fact that their bad example would
only make lawbreakers of their child
rem. Should any distinction be drawn
between them and women violating the
liquor laws of the state he intimated
that the latter would generally be sup
posed to be more scrupulous in this re-
gard and while it is detrimental enough
to people for it's manhood to become
involved in such violations, sad state
of affairs, indeed, exists when it's
womanhood is similarly inclined.
You're not giving your children a
chance, except to become lawbreakers,"
charged Judge Greene, when he passed
a six months Jail sentence upon Mrs.
Mamie Crumpton, jointly indicted for
a violation of the prohibition law with
her son Robert Crumpton, both of near
Williamson. The son drew a similar
term but the judge declared in passing
sentence upon the young man that had
be been set a good example by his
mother, or had her bad example not
existed to actuate him in the commits
sion Of the crime, he would have re-
ceived the limit of the law. In sent
encing Crumpton, Judge Greehe said in
part:
you've not had a good example set,
but you may as we'll make up your
mind that the man who violates the
law is going to be punished"
The sentence of young Crumpton was
passed prior to that Of his mother and
when the woman was told to stand the
judge asserted that you've been re-
sponsible for the trouble your son is
in. People," he added, will not stand
for places where people drink liquor
and become disorderly for this cause.
1t is a hard thing to do to sentence a
your children chance, except to be-
come lawbreakers." In the trial of this
woman, testimony adduced indicated
that Mrs. Crumpton had poured out
quantity OF liquor when the officers
had arrived at their home early during
the morning.
The other case in which a woman
was sentenced to a Jail term of i'm
prisonment was that of Gordon Lever
cite and his wife, both of near Pelzer.
The case was a parallel in some
respects to that of Mrs. Crumpton, for
it was alleged that Mrs. Leverette' was
pouring out quantity of liquor when
officers arrived at the home. Gordon
Leverette drew a sentence of six
months while his wife was sentenced
to four months in the county Jail or a
similar term in the state penitentiary
The imposition of Jail and gang sent
enccs upon defendants in liquor cases
and the refusal of the court to impose
money fines in such cases featured the
term of criminal court here last week

The following reports were hand

Covington, La, Nov. 8, 1922.
Mrs. A. G. Reed, President of Louisi-
ana Federation of Women's Clubs
The Women's Progressive Union OF
Covington, La, have had seven regu-
lar meetings for the year 1922, with
several called meetings.
Last spring the Union put on a
thorough ant campaign, forming
committees that went from home to
nome collecting funds. We have
about five hundred families in the
residential section of Covington and
close to four hundred subscribed to
the ant campaign fund. The ladies
old all the work, advertising largely,
getting the people to-come and get
the liquid and cans, thereby saving
immensely on delivery expense, en-
abl1ng us to have sufficient funds this
coming spring to use in placing the
ant poison in premises where they
cannot afford it. Rev. F. C. Tai
madge has offered the assistance Of
the Boy Scouts in placing it in sucsl
areas. This first campaign helped
wonderfully in educating the people
IN trying to eradicate the ant, but we
see great need for a second cam
spaign.
