Were the game and trespass law's mor^ rigidly en forced in this county, partridges would not be BO scarce. The blanks that have just been isiuf d to the county auditors for returning property for taxatiou contain for the first time the word "automobiles." Wouder how long before "air-ships" will appear upon these blanks ? That far-famed lawmaker from Anderson county, Hon. Josh Ash ley, has gotten into the clutches of the law himself. He was fined $30 a few days ago for disorderly conduct upon thy streets of the quiet town of Hosea Path. .The damage suit for $65,000 against the Southern railway by the attorneys for the family ol the late James L. Andrews, of Greenwood, has been compromis ed. The road offered $10,000 and it was accepted by the plaintiffs. . Ou- 's own inner experiences determine largely his view of the world. We measure the world its feelings and its doings, by our own feelings and actions The man who says : "Watch every mau as a rascal," himself - will b9ar watching for be likely judges the world of his own tnart and ac tion. Judging from the many reports of robberies, burglaries, homicides S and murders that stain the pages of the daily papers, a carnival of . crime is following the wave of prosperity. When the country is prosperous the people seem to lose sight of Him who giveth the in crease and who holds the destinies of men in the. hollow of his baud, trampling the moral as well as civil laws under their feet.- Eras ggf^prjosperity - are'-vvpotablyi-evilj? ~?^serving era*.;. Historv^pfoves the truth of this assertion. Governor Heyward is alarmed over the increasing demand for ^rewards for the arreet of fugitives from-juitice, and entertains the belief that if the Bheriffa dis charged more faithfully their offi cial duties it would not be neces sary for so many rewards to be offered. HegooB a step further by Baying that he will recommend to the legislature that tm? gover nor be given tho power to remove a sheriff who is derelict in his duty. In this Governor Heyward is right. Not a few of the sheriffs .in South Carolina should have their official heads removed. How many of them persue an alleged crimin?J-who has left for "parts ?" Generally the sheriff lietly by and wails for a 'ho is paid by the gover > what he, the sheriff, is o. roHNSTON. cted services cl osedWad ?vening, at which time i were baptized. Our las called Rev.

A large congregation attended Thanksgiving service here last Thursday. The programme as published last week was carried out. The entire service was very pretty and impressive. Afte. the service a Thanksgiving- dinner was spread and it was such a nice dinner, all enjoyed .it so much The afternoon was spent in a so cial way, the time passing so fast that night- came before anyone thought of it bsiug late. We a'l went home feeling that it was good for a church and community to meet together in a Thanksgiving service. Last Thursday morning at ten thirty o'clock in thc Baptist church Mr. John F. Pardue and Miss Marie Hammond were mar ried, by the Rev. J. T. Littlejohn. This was the first, .couple to he married in our beautiful church and we hope that the lives ol these two youug people will be brght and bupny: - Judge Bell has sold his home place bore and will at an c-arly date move to Clark's Hill.
