Bryan will come to South Carolina for a day this month according to a telegram received by J. McSwain Woods at the AntiSaloon campaign headquarters in Coltfrnbia. He will speak jat Greenville and Spartanburg. The 20 percent, discount sale of the J. M. Anderson Co. is meeting with splendid success. At a time when merchandise is mounting with the crest not in sight, it is something cut of the ordinary for a merchant to offer his goods for almost cost price. Consumers are quick to recognize the bargains and the sales are heavy. Wade Hampton / Gibbes, chief game warden, in his supplementary report of the activities of his office during the calendar year of 1919 to the governor and the general assembly, asks that the present deficiencies in the game laws be corrected and recommends the passage of a statewide law to protect the game fish. ^ Treasurer J. E. Jones wishes to warn the taxpayers of the county that another two percent, penalty will be added to the taxes January 31, making 3 percent, in all, the other one percent, being placed January 1. Mr. Jqnes also wants to make clear a point which has caused some misunderstanding among exsoldiers of the county. Many ex-sddiers thought that they were exempt from paying road taxes, but as road taxes are collected now for 1920 and the exemption' for road taxes and AMONG THE SETBACKERS. Col. W. W. Wilson and Maj. J. K. Temple, of the Level Land Hillbilly School of Setback, were in the city Thursday. They came down to take a look at the hides of Jack Perrip and Daley which 'they expected to see tacked up on the South side of Col Barksdale's handsome residence, bul instead of finding these they reported to us that the only fresh hides they found were two old gray-headed hides, one of them with a beard. As soon as the roads are good they i. - iA 'i. - 1< 1V_ _ 1 expect 10 mviie some 01 me cracK players from Greenville Street up tc make an address to the Parent-Teacher Association in their school, and they p omise that there will be a good audience to hear the speakers. x \ 0 Col. Jim Taggart was up from Mt. Carmel last week and told a good one on Uncle Pat McCaslan. Col. Taggart says that one of the old-time tenants on the McCaslan place, (which was recently sold by Uncle Pat) was coming to town, and that he Col. Taggart, got into the wa gon and rode up with the old colored man. As they drove along the old fellow got to talking about the old times, and the old place, and giving Colonel Jim some history about matters pertaining to the old homestead, Finally, the old man said to Col. Taggart: "I tell you Mas' Pat done made a great mistook." When asked what the trouble was the old negro replied: "He done sold all this fine plantashun an moved up ter toun and got it all in munny, and he aint doin nuthin but playin kyards wiff Mister Stark and Mister Greene, and the old man aint smart ernuff tc stan up aginst 'em) and they gwinei git all that air munny. They toe sharp for Mas' Pat." Col. Taggart thought this would be mighty bad, if it happened, and sc expressed himself. "Yes,"-said the old darkey, "and if they dont git it all jist let him trj Mr. Wade Cothran, and then thej wont be nune left at all." ?o? Col. T.

'poll taxes was for 1918 and 1919 road taxes are due now. I j Bill_Lomax, a negro b^ricklayei employed on the new store being built at the corner of Church an.' Vienna Streets, was knocked from the scaffolding Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clock, when he touched i high voltage wire and fell into a pile of rocks, bruising himself about the head and body. His condition i; serious but is not thought to be fatal. There is a current of 230C volts in wires on Vienna Sreet and the insulation on these wires is nc protection if good connection is made with the ground. It is not thought that the shock greatly injured Lomax, but that it was he ; fall caused by the unexpected shock. Clerk T. G.
