from serious injury yesterday about
two o'clock when he was knocked down
and, dragged several feet by an auto
mobile bread wagon of j. A, Curetonr
& Company, Of Greenyille, driven by
a Mr. Craig. The truck was coming
out of I.aurcns street into the public
square at the Minter Company corner,
travelling at a modeit.tc rate. The
boy, coming from school, ran out in
front of the truck from behind an au-
tomobile in front of the Minter Com
pany store. When he saw the truck he
made dash to get out'of the way. but
did not get quite far enough. The righ
fender struck him and knocked hin
4 down. He clung to the front bumper
and cried for help. The driver Of tn
car was unable to stop Immediately
but after pushing the boy along for
few. feet came to q full stop and go

SHALL SHERIFF
OCCUPY JAIL?

SheriM Reid Has Moved Into Vacant
Rooms in New Jail, but May be
Forced to Move Out. Question
Raised by Supervisor.
Is the sheriff 8f the county to live
in the new county jail, into which he
has already moved, or will he have to
move out? The question will likely
have to be decided by some higher
authority than now exists in the
county.
Several weeks ago the Jail commits
sion turned the new jail over to the
board of county comm pssioners, Of
which the supervisor Is ex-ofticio
chairman. When they turned the jail
over into the hands Of the county COM
missioners, according to Supervisor
Watts, they reported that it was not
in finished condition as funds had
not been sufficient to place cells on the
lower floor. Supervisor Watts, acting
for the county commissioners, in turn
delivered the keys of the jail to
Sheriff Reid When the formality Of
turning the !. keys over was gone
through the supervisor, as he says,
advised the sheriff that the Jail was
delivered for the keeping Of prisoners
only. The intimation was, so 1t is
understood, that the sheriff was not to
move his family into the. jail.
The sheriff, whether or not he gath
cred the full Significance Of the super
visor's remark, moved his family into
the Jail last week, occupying the lowe,
rooms of the building originally in
tended to be used for cells but no
actually containing prison equipment
When the board Of county commits
sioners met in annual session yester
day Sheriff Reid was called to NEE
with the commissioners and state nj
} claim for occupying the space he doe
/ in the jail. The sheriff was out o
I town. 1t is understood that he claim
' that as the prisoners are in his Gus
: tody and that as he Is held RESPONSE
4 bic for them he has a right to renal
1 in%the Jail and be near them. More
: over he contends that by staying
the Jail building himself he saves tn
e, cohnty the-expepse OF an extra jaile
!, The Jail building has a small roo
n and office for jailer.
ri The contention Of Supervisor Wat
oil IS that the plans Of the jail bulldn
V did not call for occupancy Of so mut
% of it's space as living quarters; tn
y without the space now occupied by tt
q sheriff the accommodations for pri
l. oners are inadequate since necessiti
!. require that males, females, White
ell blacks, juveniles and hospital patien
10 be held in different wards; and tn
re- while the rooms occupied by the sher
Il are not fitted with cells they are in ;
ne other respects as safe as the rooi
as upstairs and may be used to adva
b. tage for prisoners.
re What steps are to be taken IN
de matter have not been decided up
is or at least have not been divulg
he Supervisor watts, who 1ncidenta
re said that there was no personai n
fe. tive on his part intimated that
wo might appeal to the state weif

A GRAND PICTURE

It Is indeed most regrettable that
inclement weather prevented many
from attending that great film, "The
Queen of Sheba," presented by Mana
ger Brown at the Temple Theatre on
Monday and Tuesday evenings. The
portrayal of the old Bible story was
a masterpiece from the opening to the
close--elevating instructive, deeply re-
ligious, thrilling, dramatic, majestic.
The making Of such film involves
months of time and the expenditure Of
upwards of a million dollars-and
those who fail to see these great mas
terpieces of motion pictures are deny
ing themselves an essentially educa-
tional part of their lives. The ten
dency Of film manufacturers is more
and more to produce pictures which
elevate, inspire, and educate--such
heart thtobs as "Smilin' Through"
1.-THE Old Nest" "Over the Hill" 1.-THE
Little Minister and host of others.
No person can see such films and not
be made better n n or woman.

FLAPPER TO DON
NEW LONG SKIRTS,
SAYS ADA MEADE

viii the American napper ever
willingly consent to give up her
short skirts for the ankle-Iength
gown?
YES" answers Ada Meade. the
leading lady of the Garrick Players,
for almost every woman will sac
rifice for fashion. We are slaves to
style" ,
The coming fall and winter will
witness the passing OF the abbrevi-
ated skirt" ventures Miss Meade.
The motion picture producers
realize 1t already and are frantic
with fear that films already on the
shelves. and not released. will be
costumed in a vogue that has be-
come passe. Paris and London have
already heightened the gowns and
America will follow.
Personally ! feel that the style
Immediately ahead will add to the
charm of. the American girl. The
long, graceful lines of the full
length skirt are q thing Of beauty.
Even the most charitable must con-
cede that the short skirts are not
becoming to many who seem to
prefer them"
In the new production of "ATurn
in the Dark" which will be given
its initial presentation at the Gar
rick this week, Miss Meade has an
opportunity to wear one of the new
length gowns which she predicts
will be elected for early fall wear.
