Self-constituted guarpians of law and morality have been -inive re cently in many places. People sup posed to have committed offenses are treated to the traditional cos tumes of tar and feathers. It is to be feared, however, that the zeal of many perpetrators of these acts is moved not so much by a desire to improve the morals of the commu , as by a love for rough horse play and a brutal desire to get even with someone. The moment people undertake such prfo~ances in the supposed name of decea., others will be encouraged to do su-%. things 'out( of personal spite, and ross outrages will be committed against innocent people. The people have created courts and police to attend to such matters, and they should be asked to do their du ty. Offenders against decency can be made to feel the contempt of the community, which is an efficient de terrent. FIRE PREVENTION DAY. The'American people complain bit terly about the extravagance of the Government, and yet most persons are responsible for wastes that are equally needless and preposterous. One of the most notable of these is the annual fire loss. It is not much use to find fault with our lawmakers when we burn up annually nearly $300,000,000 worth of property. Fire department and insurance men have been conducting a vigor ous campaign to arouse the people' to the folly of this annual loss. The Fire Preventiop Day which has been pppointed- for consideration of this matter, has done a good deal to awaken ' the public to the subject. This year it comes' on October 10, and it is an occasion that should make people stop and think. While insurance is a splendid sys tem for equalizing losses, yet it leads to a good deal of carelessness. The man. who is fully covered by insurance feels that he does not not stand to suffer much if his property burns down, so he neglects .precautions that would be taken if he had no insurance. As the result of this easy-going ateitude, many dangerous conditions are tolerated, and it becomes easy for a blaze to start and spread. It m'akes a fireman's hair stand on end to see the way a lot of people will handle inflAmmable things. They throw matches into waste bas kets without a thought to see if they are extinguished. They allow rubbish to collect in their buildings without thought of 'what would hap pen if thesame gotafire. Then they expect firemen to risk their lives to put out a blaze once it gets a start in these firetraps. The insurance companies do a great deal to reduce fires, by inspec tions of property to secure removal of hazards. Anyone who fails to comply with reasonable fire preven tion rules deserves to have his poli cy cancelled and he can have no kick coming if he has to stand a loss himself.

ZION BEATS HARTSVILLL Fighting with a stubborness that was commendable in all its phases, Hartsville High forced the local eleven to be contented with a close triumph last Frday. The side lines were thinly populated, but those in attendance enjoyed a fine day of play, considering this was the first ame of the season. Mt. Zion commenced the game, the visitors receiving the ball. For two periods both elevens registered 'othing, the lone touchdown coming the seFond half; Robinson going across the goal for the score. Enu merating individual playing is not an easy tat, but the catching of .orward passes by Hanahan de crve exceptional mention. The mid 'et end was there :in plucking 'aerials" out of the air. In the piv otal position Wylie deserves a "spe *al delivery", as a last year's play r, he demonstrated that previous experience sometimes makes a star player. For the visitors Crider, White and the Hicks brothers did valuable ser vice. This quartet was in- every play and held the score to a mini mum. Mt. Zion .........0 0 6 0 Tartsville ........0 0 0 0 U.

Active boys from time immemo -ial have practiced the habit of raid ng fruit trees. Many people who >wn such trees, grapevines, etc., fig ire that if they get half the product, hoy do pretty well. If you remon trate with the parents, they laugh n say "Boys will be boys." It is pretty discouraging to a iouseholder, after he has put in lard work improving his place by slanting fruits and vines, to see his ffort thrown away through the mis hief of these heedless children. Pa ents should not take such corn laints lightly, and should offer omething more than mere talk to lawless boy. Some of these boys after they get rown up go out with a bag dark ights and raid gardens and orch rds, and carry off a large quantity f costly food products. Better not ry it too many times, boys, or you 1ay get some gunshot or dog bites FAIRFIELD COUNTY NE AS TOLD BY CORRESPO through which the bridal passed. Rev. J.
