Following, up a recommendation, of - | the grand jury and a ruling by ?udge ( Sease, Sheriff Hunt of Sumter county, has notified the filling stations be X. g yond city limits that they must cease Sunday sales of gasoline. The sheriff promises that ha will see that the town filling stations are also shut up tight on Sundays. Mayor 8. C. Carter wrote Mr. H. L.

Chester Reporter. ..... ^ We are not.iwslined to believe the Attempts to secure clemency Fraitk Harrell, one of the two 1 i. . undfcr conviction for the-slaying of Major McLeary, will got very* far.

The board voted to ask Fur ?; man university to postpone sale of the mountain property until after the meeting of the Baptist state conven tion in Spartanburg in December when a special Committee on the Bap tist Summer Assembly will report .recommendations regarding the possi ble retention of the mountain resort, and developing it for assembly pur-, poses. The board also approved the allocation, made by the ^CommitLee of 85," at a recent meeting here, Lf funds to be raised by the Baptists l>f the state next year, the goal lir which is $1,100,000. The nuieUwg'of the board, held iin the Sundav -< ? . ^..:^adi*oo1 building of the First Baptist Church hc-i*, Bev. .J. Dean ( rain, Of Columbia, president, a native of Greenville county, presiding. The sale of the Caesar's Head property has already been negotiated, a Greenville company to pay $550,000 for it, the trustees; of Furman having arranged ?L. this. The sale, now, however, it is ? : ? sajd, will be held up. pending action by the state convention in December, As is already well known to all | reading )reop+e,-that in addition to ' _ lerous constitutional amendments Ihvoted upon in the November . lljl election, the ten-million dol lar bond issue for education, is the most important of all. Soma of the state educational institutions are pre Burning it Will carry, but as for that .'jr. it is hard, to say at this time. Winthrop is nslfing for a million and 4" a half of the proposed ten millions in order to enlarge the plant so as to accommodate 1,700 girls. It would seem common justice that the state provide a college education for all who ask for it or none. The voters of the state should know just exactly what they are doing when they vote this born! issue. It must be remem bered that it costs the state from $200 to $500 ^ year for each student in .. the state colleges, and with the in ..creased attendance provided for, it > * will necessarily take hundreds of remand a mo?e annually to provide for tho^^rmuuta^iince of those institu tions. It is safe 10 Hamate that the annual increase in appropriation.- for - state colleges will increase away above the million mark, and s\:th the interest on the bonds, the state will f have to raise something like a million I and a half to two millions more an - nually for education. If these figures are incorrect, we would like to have a correction. South Carolina is in ...|ieed of more education, but at the ~SBine time the ability of the people to stand"additional taxation should b< Lgiven careful consideration. We are told xevery now and then by . umo officer, who draws a fair salary an J possibly pays a poll tax, that South . Carulinjf^doea not know what paying /oa really Is/ -but tfsk the fellow property Vorth from two to \ dollars what happens to Mail. Mttken War on Vagrant*. Judge DeVore, pffftWing ?t Spar tanburg court last week, in address ing the grand jury laid great stress on the laws a* to vagrancy. and^read tfte following, Section 712, ode '> South Carolina, to the jurors: , "All person* wandering from place tg. placi*. without any known residence or i criiding In any city, county 01 tQwu who have no visible means of gaining an honest and reputa > e means of livelihood, ?U suspiciou^ persona going about the t0J,!l swapping and bartering horses (with out a certificate of his or her good character signed by the magistiate of the county from which the said person last came; likewise all persons that acquire a livelihood by gambling or horse racing, without any visible means of gaining a livelihood; all keepers of game tables, faro banks, or other bank* whatsoever, used for gambling known under any other denomination; #lso all persons who lead idle or disorderly lives; all who knowingly harbor horse thieves, and felons and thoxo that are known to be of that character and descrip tion; likewise all persons not follow ing some handicraft, trade or profes sion or not ('having some visible meaiu of livelihood, who shall be able to work, and occupying or being in possession of some piece of land, shall not cultivate such a quantity of it, as shall be deemed by the magis trate to be aecossary for the main tenance of himself and his family; also, all persons representing pub licly for gain or reward without be ing fully licensed and play, comedy or tragedy, interlude or farce or nt-h*14 entertainment of the stage 01 any rtiirt thereof; all fortune tellers for fee or reward and all sturdy beggars shall be deemed vagrants and upon Vnviction before a magistrate shall be flrwl- In a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars or thirty days im prisonment." There is a vftde Difference. "The country editor who would brazenly print all that happens about him would not last a week,' sage y comments the Marion Star on the sub ject of printing the news, contrasting the big city paper with tfie country paper. There is a great deal of truth in this statement. Many a small town editor lives, moves and has his being solely because he knows what to keep out of the paper. The difference be tween the metropolitan paper and the country paper is that the former is purely "mechanics,' while the lattei i*. or ought to be, just human, pos sessing both heart and soul. As The Star further puts it: "A small town editor has more 'neighbors' than the editor of the daily paper, and the conduct of his business is more nearly a personal matter. A man must live with his neighbors, and to be trulv neighborly one must be charitable and kindly. Therefore, the country editor is not permitted to print all that happens about him?his neighborly duty to his neighbor causes him to put aside the nep and close his eyes. ? ? ? ?? The will of the late Dr. E. R. Wil son of Sumter county, deceased, was admitted to probate on October 14th. Besides providing well for the mem bers of his family, he donated twfctfty fivc thousand dollars to the Tuome> Hospital corporation, and provided also for additional sums for that in stitution and other home charities, in case of lapsed legacies.?Sumter Item The Texas supreme court has handed down a decision in which it has refused to bar the name of Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, Democratic nomi iiee for governor, from the official I icket.
