MARCH 20. 1 -I t. Til* Eternal Question. John Hogan, of Sumter, was fined th.000 or 3000 days last week for viola tions of the dispensary law He was jrraigned on 30 charges, each contain- three counts of selling, storing and keeping in possession, and the fine was imposed on each count Ten white rm n were arrested in Cel lar last Thursday on charges of vio'a tions of the dispensary law . A number of liquor cases against Totn Harrison at Greenville were com promised on Friday by his paving to the city $1,750. 0.... J Pat Cooper and his son. Jam«-s at Swanaea, have been arrested and bound over to court by Sheriff Miller of Lex ington county < o the charge of selling liquor L. H. Couch, proprietor of a meat market, and Fd ( hapman a barU-r, were convicted last week in Kaslev of maintaining nuisances and were heav lly fined—the nuisances being running blind tigers. Tb« authorities of Jas(>er and Be au fort counties are getting tusv tnd mdiag the tigeri right and left Lo Columbia laat week a number of alleged blind tigers were raided and a quanitity of beer and whiakey seized ? • A B—fartor to Maakiwd If Dr. Friedench Franz Fnendmann, tho German phytic an. can make good h:s claim of having discovered a cure for tubereulrs.s, rthe great white plague," all mankind will rise up and call him leased and acclaim him the greateit benefactor of the times. For year* physician* have been searching for a cure for this curse on humanity and although a prize of many thousands of dollars has been hung up for the discoverer of a successful cure, no one has yet been able to claim it Dr. Fnendmann has In-en demonstrat ing his treatment in Canada and is ex pected to hold a-CUmc at Bellevue* Hos--* pita!, New York, some time during the present week, at which 20 to 00 tuberculosis sufferers, patients at the institution, will be awaiting him. It was reported last week that remark able improvement had been noted in one of the patients treated bv Friend- mann when he made his first demon stration in this country. Here’s hoping that he has found a cue. Mr. Holman'* Resignation. In another column of this week's is sue of The People we publish the res ignation of Mayor R. C. Holman. We are sorry that he has resigned, but fully appreciate his position. Under the circumstances, We believe that he has done the right thing. It became with him a question of either attend ing to the business of his law practice at the expense of the town's affairs or performing the duties of Mayor by neg lecting his practice. He could hardly be expected to give up his large law- practice for the small salary that the of fice pays, therefore, only one course was open to him. Given the time, he would make ah excellent official. With his experience in the higher courts, he was enabled to get at the truth in the trial of ewes be fore the municipal court. We repeat that we are sorry that he ha* resigned, but approve of the manly, itraightforward courae he ha* taken. Seeing that he had made a mistake in accepting the office, he was man enough to acknow* ledge it. One concern in Columbia proposes to put up 17 stores at once and in dif ferent parts of the city. That's what Anderson needs—more stores and more dwellings to rent. —Anderson Mail. The city ot Anderson may need more stores and dwellings to rent, but what the county of Anderson, in common with Barnwell and a great many other counties in the State, needs is fewer people in the towns and more in the country. F.verytime a family moves from the country to rent a store and dwelling in town it tends to increase the already high cost of living just so much, for instead of being producers they become consumers. What has become of the “back-to- the-land" mov e ment of yesteryear any way ' Hmate Make* Waste. The truth of the old saying “haste makes waste" was proven again last week. A number of farmers in this county had already begun planting corn, and several farmer friends told us Saturday that the seed would prob able be ruined bv the heavv rains of r * last week, making it necessary to re plant in order to get a “stand " Not long ago a farmer, w ho lives not many miles from Barnwell, told us that he used to plant corn very early in March, but experience had taught him that later plantings paid better The seasons, bethinks, lave i hanged Better go slow It is easier to adapt the plantings to the »caaoni than the sersons to the plantings.
