Gary Hiott usually prints mighty well balanced editorials in the I'ickens Sentinel but his statement that 1 Congressman Wyatt Aiken would be a fartor in the next race for the United States Senate is absurd. It is to laugh. M,. o It is again necessary with us, as with all newspapers, to inform our correspondents that we will not print letters unless names are signed. If | anybody has to go to jail for libel it isn't going to be the editor of this newspaper. 1 ^ The prohibition meeting last 8un' <!ajr wae a fine thing for the town but II annenra tn na that thin in a 1 m not like locking the stable after the I'arse is gone. There is no use in making a plea for prohibition after, you have it. j c ?? ' It seems to us that the time ap.Jpioaches when Col. "Villum" Banks, '\Jhe distinguished president of the, I ' Mouth Carolina Tress Association, aind Hon. Josiah Sparks, the bald-' leaded but highly esteemed secretary. should have some few anuouncements ready relative to that meeting In Beaufort.

Practically every progressive county ii now realizes that better roads are not a lu> jsity. We hope that the day is not far distant will begin to spend some respectable sui Pudding permanent roads is the only e problem. 2?(:o:) UTILIZE THE BACK "Every yard a garden spot" is a slogan end of the county to the other and it is mi the head of the average family. He has t tables, fruits and other articles of the sail tiaturally more keenly interested. Large hardware concerns the country ov sold three and four times as many garden they ever did in any corresponding year an that a majority of the people in the Unite little something in the vegetable line are the venture. Even here in the South, where a majo always a well cultivated garden spot sonu ises, the plea for more and better garde ponse and we should be glad that it is. The price of vegetables of all kinds is m and we are brought right back to the age you must produce. \X?~ i. i * ' >%?. iwjicci I'M'iy nonie in Lancaster is i tions for the planting of extensive garden them are already planted; certainly we ho and likewise we hope that every single < lures may prove to be a success.

(;o:) HORRIBLE RECOI We were simply astounded one mornii learned*that there are ten cases of homic tried at the present term of court of genei tor. The idea of one county having that n try at one term of court is hardly less than We presume of course, that a part of the: previous terms of court but even though the size of Lancaster and a county with t 'his county boasts, should not have more 1 eide in five years. We know of other conn not a murder was committed last year, ye have ten cases on the docket for one term.
