Necessity to Convict
Guilty
The State.

Spartanburg, June 12.-Judge T.
S. Sease, presiding in sessions court
here this morning, in his special
charge. to the grand jury reiterated
what he had to say year ago to the
effect that it was his judgment that
one cause of crime in this country
was the lax enforcement of the Jaw,
due to the failure Of petit iur!es to
convict. He gave warning that he
had made up his mind 10 give chain
gang sentences in cases of conviction
by a jury Of violating the prohibition
law, except in very exceptional cases.
He says that he feels that the tine
has come for the courts to discard
so much leniency and put tie screws
down on violation of the prohibition
law.
In the course of his charge he sad
that it was not the severity of the
sentence which deferred the criminal,
but the certainty of punishment. He
eaid that man who knows that when
he put a pistol in his pocket that he
would be punished for That violation
of the law, he would think a long
time before he would put that pistol
in his pocket.
D. R. Moore, chief of police of
Greer, who was charged with killing
Bud Allen, was tried this morning.
After hearing the evidence produced
by the state, the court directed YER
dict of not guilty.

policeman, charged with the murder
of a man by the name of Brown,
whom he killed while trying to make
an arrest, has been set for $3.50
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The docket is the fullest it has ever

INTERESTING COURSES FOR
WOMEN OF SHORT COURSE

All of the more than seventy-five
courses of the Winthrop summer
school are open to the women attend
ing the short course, July 1922, IN
elusive. While this is true, special
courses have been arranged which
will permit the group taking any one
of these to complete some one phase
of the work within the time gwen.
Work will be offered in practically
all the academic subjects: History,
English, chemistry, psychology, etc.
These courses will be planned with a
view to meeting the needs of the wo-
men in the home. In addition to
these courses several others will be
offered, designed to prepare women
to meet more effectively the ever in
creasing demands made upon them.
As usual, there will be the course in
citizenship. Miss Marie B. Ames,
field agent for the National League
of Women Voters, will have charge of
this course. The regular summer
school students have manifested such
interest in this subject that it will be
offered during the entire season of
six weeks, and a special short course
will be arranged as well. Miss Ames
is not a stranger in the state, she
having been brought here by the
South Carolina League of Women
Voters the summer of 1920.
The course in public speaking
which was enjoyed so much three
years ago will be offered again this
summer for this short course. Miss
Lillian Crane, who has charge of the
department of expression in Win
thop college, will give this.
Once again we are to have the priv
ilege of having with US the eminent
parliamentarian Mrs Emma A. Fox,

HAS QUOTA AT CITIZENS
MILITARY TRAINING CAMP
South Carolina Second State in Ma
ton to Fill Quota for Citizens
Training Camps

South Carolina following close on
the heels of Florida was the second
state in the nation to fill its quota for
the Citizens Military Training camp
to be held this summer. South Car
olina stands out prominently among
the other states in the Southeast
which makes up the fourth corps area
and her showing is in direct contrast
with North Carolina and Tennessee
now at the foot of the list according
to B. C. Riley, vice president of the
Military Training Camps association
of the U. S., in charge of the south
eastern department who says South
Cardinals showing is not only a man.
Hesitation of the great interest of her
young men in this splendid oppor-
tunity for a vacation at government
expense and for army instruction
which will equip them for greater
service in case of emergency, but it
also shows the results of the splendid
efforts of South Cardinals state
chairman, Reed Smith, director of the
extension division at the state univer-
sity who has worked untiringly in an
effort to acquaint the citizens and
boys of the state with the plan and
purpose of the Citizens Military
Training camps in the fourth corps
area which will be held at Camp Nc
Clellan near Admission, Ala, and Fort
Barrancas, near Pesacola, Fla, June
9th to August 26th.
Through Prof. Reed Smith, South
Carolina has led the way for the rest
of the states in the nation and be-
cause her quota has been over-sub-
scribed the war department is plan
ming to recognize the patriotism OF
South Cardinals young men and if
possible the states quota will be in
creased in order to take care Of all
the young men who applied for ad-
mission to the camps before the cam
paign was closed at midnight, May
31st.
In other states in the fourth corps
area including North Carolina, Ala
bama, and Tennessee, the recruiting
period had to be extended until June
18th, consequently these states will
not secure an increase in their quota
which is based in every case upon
population.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is
DUE CREDIT FOR UNDERPASS
Completion of Underpass Below
Prosperity Brought About by
Efforts of Local Body

Announcement was made last week
that the under-pass between Pros
perity and Little Mountain had been
completed to the extent of allowing
traffic to pass under it, but at that
time in was not known who was re-
sponsible for having this work done.
The Newoerry chamber of commerce
is due considerable credit for this
work, as some two months ago they
took the matter in hand and after
much correspondence with the South
Carolina state highway commission,
the Southern Railway and the rail
road commission of South Carolina,
the organization was assured by the
railroad commission that work on the
project would be completed within
a very short time. This assurance
was received in letter from the
railroad commission dated May 25th
and almost by June 1st the under
pass was thrown open to traffic.
1t will be recalled by many motor
lists that this under-pass has been
closed since last year, all traffic hav-
ing to pass over a detour, which was
very dangerous during rainy wea-
ther, and the, announcement that the
underpass is now open to traffic will
be received with much satisfaction
by motorists throughout the entire
state of South Carolina, and we are
sure all of them will thank the New
berry chamber of commerce for tax
ing this matter in hand and getting
results.
