FRESH AIR FOR MOTHERS.

Fresh air camps for youngsters
have been established as part of
the child welfare work of most Of
the larger towns and cities. Of
course, all the poor little sufferers
in hot tenement districts are not

an annual outing in the country
rarely get more than fortnight of
it. Still, they are better off than
their fathers and mothers.

very best men available for federal

conducted in absolute conformity
to law, there will be contests and
if the House is very close, RepuRS

LIFE TERM
FOR MURDER

Greenwood. Sept. I:-After de-
liberating 16 1-2 hours the jury in
the case of r. Clayton Underwood
and Berry 2. Hughes. charged with
the murder of Oscar Mitchell,
Greenwood baseball player. report
ed to Judge H. F. Rice this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock that they had
agreed on a verdict Of guilty of
murder in the first degree. with
recommendation to mercy, in the
case of Underwood. but they could
not agree on Hughes.
In imposing the life sentence
carried by the verdict, Judge Rice,
pronounced warning against the
influence of liquor. Underwood re-
ceived the sentence without a
tremor but his wife who had
shown no emotions throughout
the trial burst into tears.
A motion for new trial was
overruled by Judge Rice and he
again refused to direct verdict
of not guilty for Hughes. Bail
for Hughes was fixed at $4,000.
The life sentence for Underwood
was the first sentence ever pro-
neunced in this county on Sunday
and one of the few on record in
this state.
The trial of the two men con-
sumed three days. during which
time hundreds packed into the
court house to hear the trial of a
case that had aroused intense
feeling.
Oscar Mitchell, Greenwood sec
ond baseman, was shot to death by
Underwood in front Of Underwood s
fathers boarding house August 8:
Underwood claimed that Mitchell
had made an attack on his wife.
The state introduced evidence to
disprove the attack story.

@DYISG FOR IRELAND

Bernard Shaw. himself loyal
Irishman, has been indulging in
some plain remarks to his fellow
.countrymen anent the recent guer-
.rslIa warfare carried on by the re-
publican faction. In his judgment,
'.tIe, luxury of dying for Ireland
after doing Ireland all the dam
age he CARS. all that Irish rev
olutionists can hope for hence
forth.
s. That verdict seems justified by
recent Irish history. The rebels
against the Free State have done
their utmost. without visible pro-
fit to- anybody and with only harm
to the great. body Of Irish people
who, like the common people ev-
ergwhere, want peace and order
and a chance to enjoy life and
get ahead.
The assassination- OF Michael
Collins has only emphasized the
anomaly of this rebellion by lit
tie. mistaken group Of Irishmen
against the wishes of the major
ity.s Lamentable as that tragedy
has been. it may serve a usfeul
purpose by clarifying the situation.
The overpowering indignation of
the Irish public may bring the
rebels to their senses.
The netice said TO have been CIV
en- by their leader, De Valera, that
they might stop fighting if they
wanted to, should help along this
process of restoring sanity to dis
tressed land. Surely it is no.
necessary that Irkshmen. should be
always dying for Ireland, The
