God’s sakes don’t throw at the dog, but throw at me. The News
trying to extricate itself and that of its party from the bad fi
nancial showing o^ the county affairs made a bad bn^k in this
week’s issue, and got ii;s figures badly mixed whether by design
or not, we are not prepared to say. The Dispatch in its issue of
Dwember 29 gave the amount of the county indebtedness that
we claimed before the last elwtioA, and then gave the amount as
now claimed by the county administration, giving the figure just
as they appeared in The News of December . 23, 1914. But our
contemporary took a part of the figures used before the eiectioii
and a part of those we used from the county exhibit report and
■* jungled them together until they looked like mixed pickles. Now
here is the figures that we gave as representing the county in
ilebtedness; .

SEEKING DIVORCE, THEY BLAME
“13” AS HOODOO.
Wiehittt, Kun., Jan. 1.—Many people
claim ihat there is nothing to the sup-
criiiUc,-; “IR” but in Witthita
is a couple seeking a divorce iri the
diiitrii-l court that believes the num
ber is an ill omen. TTjey cits their
own lives since they met snd were
married. Here is the story as told
by the man:
Thirteen years ago the man and
woman met in Topeka oh March 13.
7%ey baeame well acquainted in the
months following, so on October 13,
rare married. They were married at
No. 213 East Seventh street and start
ed housekeeping at 213 East Eighth
street. The rent on the house came
to $13 a month, and they had three
children.
October 13 this year the .iuit for
divorce was filed in the district court
The sheriff served the papers in the
case and made his rnal return Octo
ber 2-3. The woman asked for tempor
ary alimony and the judge granted
her $13 a week. Each is 43 years old.

On September 5, 18$9, the Wo

the Methodist Episcopal Churfih. Sauth
opened a school in Ribeirao Preto, Bra

that day, September 6, 1914, the new
building for the Collegia Methodista
was inaugurated. Thisi is a most
I important step in the history of the

LIVES DESPITE ADVERSE CONDITION.
The fact that our p^ple are continuing to plant sugar cane and
rice is owing to the small advance in price of these products, due
to the eifectj of the European war. These industries are living
today not because of anything this adniinistration has done for
us, but in spite of all it has done against us. Our people are pro
tectionists in principle and feel that they can no longer alHliate
with a party that for the second time has lost no opportunity to
strike a blow at the industries of the South.
We forgave the Democratic party when during the Cleveland
administration our industries were threatened, and we had hoped

MISTREATMENT OF JURORS.
The office of juror is, theoretically,
at least a solemn one, but the juror
is also a badly imstreated person. In
thfi i-ftry selection of jurors the intent
of the law is often reversed in the
placing: of a premium on stupidity and
creddlity. This is done by t)ia court
excusing the uusy men, and, as most
people know, by lawyers holding out
for veniremen who either have no~
are are willing to swear they have not
“formed an opinion.”
.Another way is by trying t"> forct
verdicts, by holding juries as prison,
ers under lock and key for days at a
time after they have frankly declar
ed their inability to arrive at a ver
dict. Such an incident is reported
from Scranton, Pa., where a jury in
a murder case was imprisoned for
sever, days, though its membei-s had
told the court they could not agree.
Such a proceeding tends to make jury
service something to be avoided as a-
pest. Suppose, after a thorough de
liberation upon all the evidence,
men finding it absolutely impossible
to reach a vp'dict, are starved into
