S. Kearse left recently for their new home it Chester, and are well pleased with their surroundings 'generally. However, they report a deficien cy of "fat splinters" in Chester county, which have been so much in demand the past few weeks. We believe old Bamberg county is the best place, after all, for we may be short of some things, but we do think we ha*Te enough "fat" stumps to supply the demand. Farm work has been almost at a standstill for the Dast few weeks on i account of the bad weather, however, our farmers are not discouraged, for they are hoping that the recent freeze will dull the activities of Mr. Boll Weevil. Some of our farmers have planted their tobacco beds, and others are planning to do so. G. E. Ritter has been shipping lettuce recently and receiving fairly good prices for the same. This is a new industry for our section, and we trust that other farmers will follow Mr. Ritter's example. A little stranger came to the home of. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Kearse on the 24th ult., and as the weather was freezing cold they gladly welcomed him into their home and hearth, and are now receiving the congratulations of their friends on the possession of a bouncing baby boy. Mrs. B. V. Kearse was called to Fairfax a few days ago, on account of the illness of her sister, Mrs. G. W. Jenny. On her return she reports Mrs. Jenny much better. We are glad to report G. B. Kearse convalescent after a recent illness. Some clever rogues broke into the store of J. S. Breland last week and succeeded in getting away with some booty, consisting of cigars, tobacco, shoes and some casih. No arrests have yet been made.. BUILD FOR CENTURIES. ? Soldiers Returning With New Ideas of Architecture. Americans returning from the war | bring with them the new doctrine that a church, a public building or a dwelling should be so built that it need not be rebuilt every generation. Comfortable, attractive houses 300 years old, fine churdhes 500 years old are among the sights they have looked upon in France. Just now, in a period of high cost of labor and material, this doctrine ' " v. __1,, tnat a aweniag may u? sausiactuiii; built but once in 300 years, should appeal to the prospective house builder. It assures at least that he need build but once in his life time and that his child may not need to build at all.* ! Such a house need not cost much more than one that would go to wreck in thirty years. A little well-! trained thinking will be about the only difference. Four qualities must be built into such a house: Permanent material, permanent beauty of plan, permanent warmth and econo mical arrangement, rnese quairues are fundamental, always have been, and always will be. Such a <hous<; will sell well 300 years hence, and will have pleased every occupant in the meantime. j Good architecture styles are permanent. Our best styles today are centuries old. Warmth also is an abiding quality. A house that is1 hard to heat will not be permanent. The fuel problem will be a constantly growing factor in home life. Ameri- I / a ie tint hvaIv tn see cheaD coal V? IV/ uvrv _ . again very soon. A house warmly built is fortified against waste in this item of maintenance. Standardized workmen's houses, single and multiple, built chiefly of cement or clay products are to be a large feature in future housing. But these must be made attractive to the eye, and economical of unkeep. Workmen cannot live well and lay by in store unless their ihouses are so built. rpu~ ?mi-nor titVihnn hiiill 1UC <t(ci age cai ubi H4?w a home has to spend his life to earn it. And he has been forced to do this, often because this father built a house that did not last a lifetime. A cheaply constructed house is a waste to the family and to the community. The ideal house of the fu' ture will stay built.?Minneapolis Journal. Rpflsnn Wh*. The English cyclist rode on through the ram. He was drenched and splashed with mud from head to foot. He saw a countryman walking toward him. , "How far is Riston?" he asked. "Eight miles in the other direc- j tion," was the answer, i "The other may?" gasped the c-cv I list. ">But the last sign post pointed this way to Riston." [ "Ah, that post wa9 turned round long ago to confuse the zeppelins," answered the countryman with a knowing smile. A PRACTICE THAT DISGUSTS.! The people of South Carolina are more disgusted with the habit indulged in by legislatures of electing their own members or attaches to other offices than members and senators imagine. Everybody knows that when members of a board are to be chosen by the general assembly citizens back in the counties, no matter what tiheir public and private services and achievements have been, too often have small chance in a contest against a member, a senator, a committee clerk or a solicitor or other person whose work brings him .into association with the body while it is in cession. In this abuse, which we heard a prominent South Carolinian the other day characterize as "outrageous," the present legislature is no worse sinner tiban some of its predecessors. The evil is not confined to election of members to offices?it extends often to the election of a legislator to another office so that, in violation of the spirit of the letter, or both, of the constitution, he holds a commission ersnap or trusieesnip as wen as membership in the legislature. As the fruit of this practice various boards will in time be packed with legislators and ex-legislators and hangerson about the legislature, an undue proportion of them being citizens of Columbia, as State House attaches for the most part reside in this city. We do not know that more elections will be held by the general assembly during the present session but we point to the abuse and hope that the people will turn their eyes upon it. A legislature that gobbles the small positions for its own memhprs and those of its friends so near that they can lobby for them is scarcely one having a correct sense of its responsibility to its constitutents. When a judge is to be chosen, a second rate lawyer, in the general assembly, especially if ihe is a member of the lower house, is probably able to defeat the leader of the bar of the state. For a legislator of vision broad enough to perceive that legislators represent the people, not themselves, and ihold their votes in trust, the op I portunity is excellent to take the lead | in putting an end to this wretched misuse of power.?The State. ?W.

Pursuant to recommendation of the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the landowners of the county cultivating lands adjacent and adjoining public roads are hereby urgently requested not to plow into or allow their hands' to plow into the roads. Landowners are requested to plant two or three rows of crops adjacent to roads paral lei with the road, so that there may be proper turning space without the necessity of turning plows in the roads. It is against the law to allow plows to damage the roads, and it is an unnecessary practice. The county spends large sum3 of money in road building, and the roads belong to the people. I have no desire to prosecute anybody, but I must insist that this practice be (- nnnad l'mmorliiitolv Tho farmers imjiuvumvvij . * uv ?.v?. ? and tenants can cooperate in this respect, and there should be no necessity to bring action against anybody.
