And none of it will amount to anything is our prediction. When the investigation is completed I everything will be about as when it started. No crimes are likely to he fastened on anybody, and people will still believe the crimes were committed or not committed as they did before. "The people in the Piedmont section of this state are still of the ./vrbinirm " eoM a nrnminont. nitizen r>f Charleston the other day, "that the boll weevil will never reach them." He added that this applied not to all the people but most probably to a Kg1. majority of them. This gentleman deplored the fact that the Piedmont cannot produce such an abundance of food crops as Bamberg and other southern Carolina counties, and he ventured the prediction that in the next year or two the estate of the > upper counties will be vastly worse than it is now in this section. There is getting to be too much legislative control over the industries of this state. There is such a thing as legislating corporations . to death, jp-- \ While we sometimes feel that betww>n pnpnnrah'nnu and thp r?POT)]e ] there is a vast gulf, still we are all mighty glad to have manufacturing and other enterprises, and again only a small portion of the corporations are against the interests of the people ^ ; generally. The legislature has already effected short working hours per day, and somebody has now introduced a measure in the legislature < to further shorten them. This is nothing short of silly. . The pay of employees will be cut in proportion to the work performed. Anyway the country ou^ht to work more instead of less. There are some legislators who have always had the idea they TNAATvlKllOin ACO ' VUU1U 1 uu UlilUl pcupiu 9 uuoiuuoo U^tter than the owners can. We believe in a fair deal for everybody. The "high taxers" are resorting to every possible subterfuge to keep up the enormous expenditures inaugurated during the war. They now reaII 11.. 1 . -11 1 .V..1 lize iaci wie peupie win ausuiuieij refuse longer to pay the taxes like . they have in the pagt; consequently all sorts of other taxes are being proposed, such as income, gasoline, soft drink, and other so-called painless extraction taxes. Experts have been jpK. hired from a distant state to tell the people just how it can be done. But the people are tired of being told. They are not only tired of paying the high taxes, but they are sick and tired of the enormous waste in the state government. There are boards 'IS and commissions galore, all wanting big salaries, and huge expense accounts. It won't work. The war is over. We must now come down to earth. About four-fifths of the commissions and boards must be legislated out of office, or somebody is going into the elections this summer in a very much embarrassed state. With fully half of the counties of the gfv state producing only a fourth of a nrtrmQl prnn nf tr>n tVio nonnla <aro in no frame of mihd to be argued with. M BLACKVILLE BUREAU Funeral of W. Frank Walker. Blackville, Jan. 24.?Mrs. W. Frank Walker and her three step ohildren, John, Louise and Marguerite are the recipients of the sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement?the tragic death of W. Frank Walker, which occurred at an early hour Saturday morning at the Baptist hospital in Columbia, where he had been carried for surgical treatt* ment for fractured skull. Mr.Walker was a planter, and a member of the city council of Blackville. He was originally from Laurens, but moved here many years ago, to look after the business interests of ais brotherly m-law, Charley Mathis, a noted farmer of Blackville. Mr. Walker was twice married, his first wife was Miss Owens, of Laurens county. Of this union, three children survive. His second wife was Miss Daisy Hair, a popular and attractive lady of this place. He was an active member of the Methodist church, and was about 47 years old. Funeral and interly-. mi'-;. \ ' . I ment took place at the Blackville cemetery yesterday in the presence of a large crowd of friends and relatives. Rev. F. L. Glennan, assisted by Rev. L. H. Miller, performed the services. Fire I)oes Small Damage. There was quite an excitement in town today when the alarm of fire was heard. Mrs. Mallie DeWitt's nouse, occupied Dy Mr. ana Mrs. u. &. Fishburne was on fire, but was put t out before much damage was done. t "Dobbin" Comes Back. It has been predicted that this would soon be a "horseless age," but an unusual sight here now is folks enjoying the luxury of a horse and buggy ride, who haven't traveled that way for years. The horse is slowly coming back into his own, for a time at least. "There is one good thing about old Dobbin. You don't have to haul corn to town to swap for something to run him with." "E" is Popular. Some of the children are asking another riddle this week?"What is the most up-to-date letter in the alphabet? TVney say it is the letter "E," because its never found in "cash" and always in "Debt" like everybody else around Blackville. "Home Made" Brew. "Sassafras tea" is a popular drink in several homes here, and the children say it is just as -good as the "cold drinks." Which reminds us of old "Uncle Bob" Kennedy, an old veteran of the Civil War, long since dead, who used to say he carried some sassafras root with him and drew tea off the same piece all during the war, and the longer he used it, the redder and stronger the tea became. He said a "hard tack and a swig of sassafras tea" was a luxury, fit for a king during the war. J). A. R. Chapter Entertained. The Joseph Koger chapter, D. A. R., -was entertained by Mrs. T. O.

On account of real estate be! ing returned again for 1922, I would suggest that each taxpayer owning land find out just how many acres he has of tenable land, number of acres of wood land, and number of acres of swamp land. That will enable the board of assessors to get at the valuation more accurate, and the land owner will'not have to pay as much for : imeriui muu as uc pa>s iui iauus luai he is cultivating.

CARDUI HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three Tears, Suffering Pain, Nemos and Depressed?Read Her Own Story of Recovery. Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stegall, of near here, recently related the following Interesting account of her recovery: "I wa3 in a weakened condition. I was sick three years In bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still J didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since . .
