Works Out Unfairly
From the Rarrwt.li People

From the i3arnwhli People
The People agrees With Senator
Davis Noise, Of Sumter County, that
the distribution Of the 100000
IunG guaranteeing Il seven months
school term 10 needy schools IS
neither fair nor equitable. For in
stance. Barnwcll County taxpayers
contributed $l.2739o TO the fund
last year and received in return only
$S3S. or about 90 per cent. Char
lesion contributdc more than $3l,-
900 and received nothing in return.
while Horny county paid in $1,000
and received $4,000. Jasper coEn-
~ paid in more than $1,000 and re-
ceived nothing IN return, While
Chesterfield paid in q little more
than s. 900 and received more than
$4,000.
II is argued that oil that is nee
cSSary TO receive the benefits Of the
seven months fund IS TO levy To-
cal tax OF eight mills. have an ac-
tual enrolment CT twenty-five
children and n 60 per cent daily
attendance This, OF course. means
additional taxation on people al-
ready over -burdcned in order TO get
back money that they have already
paid as taxes. We are in favor Of
amending the law in order to effect
4 more equitable distribution OF the
fund. or else abolish il altogether
and let each county control the dis
bursement OF the money collected
for school purposes.

preparation Of funds and breach OF

More than $4,000 is involved. 4
warrant sworn out by Leroy Springs
and John T. Stevens, codirectors
with Jones in the mercantile COM
pany, was served upon him in De-
cember. Owing to the extensive
business connections Of the prose-
. cutting witnesses and the defendant
and the agreement to excuse any
talesman who was under obligation
to or employed by any of the firms
7 it required practically all OF the
morning session TO draw jury and
the panel was exhausted A new
venire of seven was drawn by the
/! jury commission. The State and
defense both exhausted their chal-
lenges.
The array Of counsel is very bril-
liant. including besides the entire
Lancaster bar, former Judge II. l.

inson, of Columbia; Thomas F. Nc
Dow Of York: Claude n. Sapp, Of
Columbia. and ]. y. Hcmphill, of

testimony began at 1880 on count
No. 5.
V. L. Croig, who is credit man
for the mercantile company, was
the first witness called. He tas-
tilted as 10 certain entries OF e.
$500 item authorized by the de-
fendant. 4 check covering this
item and the books OF the company

on the stand. a number of papers
! bearing on cotton future transac-
tions were introduced in evidence,
among them being. account sales
from Gwathmey & Co, and Mum,
Rogers & Stackpole.
D. a. Boyd, a certified account
ant OF Leroy Springs, was the next
witness. He testified that in an audit
of the books Of the mercantile
company from July 1917, 10 Au-
gust 1921. he found certain irrcsu-
larities. During the examination
OF this witness numerous tits oc-
