statement follows:
“To the Public :
“At the beginning of the campaign :

a memorial to our soldiers it was ;
contemplated that the $4,000 neces-]
sary to carry out the original plans]
would be in hand within the ten days;
to which the campaign was limited, I
this sum to be employed in purchas-l
ing and erecting a monument similar;
io the one published on the opening |
day; and, further, if the additional;
amount was received, to place on the
sides of the monument large tablets
bearing flic names of every boy who,
entered the service from Sumter i

Committee Reports.
“Now. the committee reports:
“1. That after diligent effort it]
has been unable to raise but $2,000. r
“2. That for several weeks, and
with the assistance of members of
the American Legion, it has endeav- :
ored .to ascertain the names of all !
'he boys who entered the service I
from this county, but finds it to be ;
an utter imposibility, due to very
incomplete records of those who en
tered through the draft and no rec
ord whatever of the volunteers. At
tho completion of our efforts we are
confident there were many in the
service, whose names are not on on;

YOU AND I;
'DO NOT JOIN IN THE '
> LAUGH OCCASIONED BY
) THE LEARNED JUDGE’S
j LITERARY REFERENCE.
GUMMING up the Arbuckle case,
Police Judge Lazarus commented
on the scarcity of evidence that
might he construed to connect the
defendant with a crime.
T'e assistant district attorney in
terrupted: “But your honor is not ov
erlooking the witness who heard Miss
Rappe saying ‘l’m dying, he hurt
me’?”
“No,” answered the court, “but 1
am taking into consideration the fact
that she was in great pain, that she
said he hurt her, but not that he at
tacked her. IL reminds me of the
line in Lord Byron's ‘Don Juan’
‘And saying she would never consent,
Consented’.”
'1 e courtroom laughed uproari
ously, say the. dispatches.
Usually, in commenting on a crimi
nal charge as serious as that in the
ArbuckJe-Rappc case, the judge uses
as his reference such serious sources
as the Ten Commandments or the
statutes based fundamentally on
them.
Lord Byron, the distinguished
reference cited by Police Judge Laza
rus, was a rake, notorious in his da?
as a dissolute and revolting partici
pant in the vilest of debauches.
When law conceives any connec
tion between such a character and a
case like the Rappe girl’s fate. Black
stone finds himself in rb-c company
of Boccaccio and Oscar Wilde.
It a rotten precedent.
BLAME
The National Consumers’ League
working against long hours for wo
men employes of hotels, says the rea:
blame is with the people who patron
ize the hotels in question.
That is /worth thinking over
twice, worth talking about.
Industrial evils cannot exist, with
out the financial support of con
sumers. Evil will cease to exist
when we reward good and refuse
evil our patronage.
FORGOTTEN
In I (if);; two important, skeletons
were discovered near Tournai,
France. They have just been indent!-
fied as Mr. and Mrs. Childeric. Ever
bear the name? Few have.
Yet Childeric was king of the
Franks (ancient French) in the year
451 when the Franks and their
allies stopped Attila and his invad
ing Chinese armies at the Marne.
That battle determined that Europe
was to have a white instead of
Mongolian civilization. Three hun
dred thousand dead were left on the
field.
Now Childeric and his legions are
nearly forgotten.
History mis a poor memory.
ROADS
The federal aid r»ad act has been
in operation) five years and three
months. The result it. that 7,469 mile:,
of good roads have been completed
and 17,977 miles are under con
construction.
The total, roughly,, is equal to a
road around the world dr about
'eight times across the continent.
That is an achievement, and a
heritage, for the future that this
generation can be mighty proud of.

A Little Human Sympathy Need
ed In Revenue Act, Says
eDtroiter
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4—(By As
j soeiated Press) -There is nothing in
! either the domestic or foreign situa-
■ tion to give rise to the pessimistic
• conclusion that the world is riding
i straight to ruin, John S. Drum, ol
San Francisco, president of th'-
; American Bankeih association, de
I elared at the opening sesson of the
convention of that body here today.
“Rational examination of our con
dition today must prove to the great-
I est doubter that our problems are but
j natural manifestations of world with
| mal-adjustmcnt that, great natural
forces arc working to remedy,” he
| said.
: The injection of a little human
’ sympathy into the. Revenue act will]
, do no harm, Henry M . Campbell, of I
Detroit, chairman of the legislative]
committee, said in an address.
“Section 203 of the nee act
amends section 202 of the act of
1918, so as to provide that in the
of gifts made after December
31, 1920, the value, as a basis for
i taxation in case of sale, shall be the
! cost to the donor or, the last pieced
! ing owner by whom it was not. ac
] quired by gift,” said Mr. Campbell,
I “while in the case of bequests, de
' vises and inheritances, the basis is
the value at the time the -bequests
take effect. This distinction is il
logical and unfair. Some acade+tM<-
theorists must have devised this
1 scheme.
Sentiment Alone Enough.
“Sentimental reasons alone are ;
sufficient td justify fixing the value;
of property at the time the gift is
received as the basis for ascertaining]
the gain or loss, in case of sale. The 1
I significance of the gift is lost if it |
I must be accepted subject to the re- !
I quirement that the donee must ascer- ]
! tain the cost and in case of sale must ;
j pay a tax upon the basis of w'tat thv
I gift cost the donor or the last pre- j
i ceding owner by whom i! was not ac- ;
I quired by gift.
“The difficulty of determinig the i
; cost of the gift to the donor of the]
1 last preceding owner by whom it was
I not. acquired by gift is also likely in
many cases to be insurmountable. In-j
; eluded in the gifts subject to the act.
i arc heirlooms, books and manuscripts, I
! works of art, cherished household be-!
longings, Christmas gifts, wedding!
presents and many other things'
i whose value lies chiefly in the senti
; ment attached to them. Imagine the
recipients rdj- a wedding present re
! plying to the donor: ‘We gratefully!
acknowledge acceptance of your gift
I provided you furnish us with a certi
: fied statement of its cost.'
A Notable Example.
j “Another interesting illustration of j
how the law might, operate—a sword!
; once owned by Labayette was giver:
i by him to a distinguished member of f
'a prominent Virginia family. The ]
] sword has been handed down from]
' father to son for more than one hun- 1
“died years. The present owner has]
been offered a fabulous price for it .
; but he has refused to part with it
But suppose that poverty or misfor
: tune compelled the owner to sell the
i sword, what value would be taken
as the basis for the tax? Would
it be the cost to LaFayette, provided
I that it could be shown what he paid
i for it?
“There is also grave doubt as to
; the validity of the provision authoriz
: ing the commissioner to fix the value.
;in the absence of all information
; available for the purpose.
“There has been some apprehen-
I sion ; —that the word ‘gift’ was used
in the Revenue act might be con
strued to include what are generally
■ known as voluntary or living trusts
The voluntary trust is not a gift, but ,
is more of the nature of a transfer

Any capable aviator in good physi

altitude flying, can soar as high as
a machine can take him
. rtcvelopment of means of upply-
1 *n.. -‘.'ygeu and beat for the a-. ;»toC
has outstripped the genius the
designers of airplanes. In my flight
! 1 used a special propeller, that was
j doing only 1100 revolutions a minute
when 1 took off at. McCook Field, but
I even then it was not able to ac
celerate enough to drive me beyond
40,800 feet into the higher, thin
ner stratus of air.
A biplane was used in this test
because no monoplane has yet been
developed which can compare with a
biplane in altitude flying. It hap
pens that this was Etc same machine
in which Major R. W. Schroeder
made his record altitude flight, which
T have been fortunate enough to sur
pass.
Data Obtained.
I made some scientific observa
tions which I believe will be of value
in the study of aeronautics. I found:
That flying at a height of more
than 40,000 feet is extremely diffi
cult owing to the fact that air re
i distance is so slight that it is hard to
control the present design of ship.
That 1 was unable to verify Ma
jor Schoeder’s observation that at
; these high altitudes there was a
] steady trade wind of approximately
' 200 miles an hour.
That the- stars ami mom* are. not
I visible in the ratified atmosphere of
*IO,OOO feet, a point which I was
1 especially instructed to observe.
That I l ' e temperature at 40,000
feet is 58 degrees below zero.
; That, a new type </f propeller
i must: be designed which will bite
- into the ratified air of the higher
! altitudes, if a flier is going to make
! a complete conquest of the clouds .
Alsojbere must be improvements
' in the ’supercharger, a device which
; was the cause of my making tny
] flight, for I set out to reach an alti
! tnde of 30,000 feet in order to test
I this out.
Escape* Suffering.
, 1 didn’t, suffer grcatluy in the

My main difficulty was with vis-
I inn. It would take me as much as
i2O seconds to read the figures on

! ed somewhat from lack of air, and
|at times mv feands felt like lead. 1
! didn't mind the cold much.
I Perfection of new devices since
Major Schroeder’s flight saved me

; he endured,’ including the freezing of
I his eyes.

The entire tof> was painted a bril- i

I ALBANY, Oct. 4.—Motion to de
clare a mistrial in the Hudson rnur-
I tier ease moved by t! " defense coun
] cl this morning, was denied by Judge
I Bell. The motion was made when the
i Mate sought to introduce testimony’
to the efect that Sheriff Tarver told
liudscn bis wife accused jiim of the
crime, and that Hudson in turn ac
cused her of killing the boys.
Attorney Peyton, for the defense,
charged Solicitor General Gardner*
was seking to do by indirection what
the. Georgia law forbids—introduc
ing the testimony es a wife against
her husband Tins was denied by
Gardner.
ALBANY, Oct. 4.—More than a
score of witnesses today remained to
be called by the state in the trial of
Glen Moore Hudson, jointly indicted
' with his wife for the murder of her
j two small sons. Robert and Isaiah
Temple, aged 1 0 and 4, last Jul y!2.
Hudson is being tried by eleven
jurors, one of the original number,
Robert Slappey, farmer, having been
excused by Judge Bell on account of
illness in his family. Both prosecu
tion and defense agreed to continue
the hearing with only eleven jurors.
The cleVen jurors trying the cas?
are:
A. C. Arnold, clothing salesman,*.
Geo. P. Mock, farmer; W. E. Carter,
dry goods merchant; U, E. Carter,
railroad clerk; J. S. Etheridge, sec
retary- Albany Retail-Me
sociation; E. S. Maultsby, wholesale
grocery salesman; G. T. Phelps, rail
road cashier; J. A. Hunt, salesman:
M. D. L. Hunt, salesman. The Hunts
are brothers.
Features of the first day’s sesisoa
of the trial included the introduction
of witnesses by the state tending to
shew that the crime was not commit
ted while Hudson and his wife wera
away from home, as they had first
contended, and also to show a mo
tive on the part of Hudson for killing
the children.
That Hudson’s wife had quarreled
with him the day before the killing,
upbraidening him for not getting ;*
job, as her children were sufefrin/}
from hunger, was testified to by
Shop Bruno, a negro.
Objection to this testimony way
made by the defense on the ground
that it was a privileged communica*
tion between husband and wife.
The state contended that as the
alleged quarrel took place in the pres
ence of a third person it. was not such
privileged communication and there*
fore was admissible as evidence. Thu
court overruled the objection. That
this quarrel between Hudson and hia
wife showed a motive for Hudson to
kill the children is contended by tha
prosecution.
