Judge Z. A. Littlejohn convened the
May session of Sumter Superior court
Monday morning and during the next
week or ten days tho wheels of jujs.
tice will whirl within the temple, al
though bott> the civil and criminal
dockets appear lighter at this term
than In several years.
The grand Jury was organized by
electing Mr. F. AV. Griffin foreman, af
ter which Judge Littlejohn charged
that body.
The charge was direct and forceful
as are all delivered by Judge Little
john, and covered the many viola
tions of law occuring here. The court
dwelt with partlcual emphasis on a' fepcatci
recent cock light here.
The grand Jury Is made up of the
following twenty-three citizens:
F. W. Griffin, W. D. Haynes, W. I».
Page, J. E. Gyles, W. A. AVebb, G.
Buchanan, J. L. Wooten, W. R. Battle,

Several indictments were returned
during the d»y, three for murder.
One of these was a bill against Charles
Baldwin for the killing of another
negro. Bill Riley, down near Cobb
Station recently. ,
If weather and labor conditions were always ideal, there are several l
on the market that could handle cotton and produce a fair sample. But icte.
conditions arc the exception. Most of the cotton that comes to the ginnery i
exceedingly dirty and trashy and much of it is wet The ordinary system nnno
do anything with it It requires the exceptional system—the Mungcr System
* *>}
The Munger System thor-
oughly cleans and dries the
cotton before it delivers it to
the feeders. The process of
handling the cotton in the
elevator, separator and dis
tributor, in addition to remov
ing all the trash and dirt,
opens up and loosens the
cotton, leaving it in the best
possible condition for the
gins to handle.
It required but one day and a bait
to dispose of tbe entire civil docket
in Sumter Superior court—a rather
remarkable record, indeed. At noon
yesterday Judge Littlejohn dismissed
all jurors drawn toj service this
week and declared a recess until next
Monday. At that time tho criminal
docket will be taken up and all felony
.cases ready for trial disposed of dur
ing the ensuing weok. There aro
three or four negro murder cases ajiil
few Involving the title of sundry
hogs surreptlously seized by the sable
citizens since sidetracked at the coun
ty castle. .The grand Jury Is still
busy this week, but It Is not Improb
able that the May torm Will come to
an end next week, thus making the
sess’on of the court the shortest in
In cases where the cotton
is particularly dirty and trashy
the operation of separating,
cleaning and drying can be
before delivery to
the feeders. On this account
the Munger System can
handle cotton under any and
ail conditions and is the only
outfit which can.

Itlemen—You will find- enclosed receipt in full for $5,000,
ftheck for which I have just received payment of all claims
Policy No. 1664, held in your Company by the late Robert

lyment made under the various policies held in other com-
THE RECORD.
Id?promptness speaks for itself, and needs no further com-
1 Accept my thanks for your check and best wishes for the
Is of your company. R _
The unusual promptness with which all claims are settled by
the Southern States Life Insurance Company, is due first, to its
willingness and desire to assist the beneficiary in preparation of
all necessary papers, and, second, the fact that it is a HOME insti
tution, located in the IMMEDIATE vicinity of the insured, is EASY -
of access, has facilities'for securing information PROMPTLY; ad
vantages which, by the very fact of their location, are denied to
companies whose offices are in distanf cities. The Southern States
Life has never contested a death claim.
—
le above tells the story. Prompt payment of death claims proves the insurance company’s integrity. Policies were also
r the iusured in Eastern and other Southern companies, one of the latter has a home office in Atlanta, but The Southern Stat.
ps the first company to make payment. ■>
