I <S> LITTLE WILLIE'S $ I COMPOSITIONS. * ^ By Judson W. Chapman. $ STORMS. |f Some disturtances of the elemenrs f that come when least expected, least wanted and *hen least convenient. They are necessary evils; for if a storm didn't raise cain occasionally \ farmers would be unable to raise any\ thing to eat and help win the war. In hone-dry states, the right of the ele|| ments to brew1 a storm without 11i | cense has been questioned. Storn^ P1 sometimes, are wanted by some and are wanted badly; it is at this' time A that the skies are as blue as her eyes and as clear s.s the plot in a hair breadth Harry story knock-down * -drag-out wild-western movie drama and Old Sol's rays of sunlight are coming down just as the hair comes down from a wonman's head when she retires at night. A lot of storins occur out west and quite a few occur at sea. California furnishes a good out-put of storms along with such other blessings as Mexicans, split electoral votes and fleas. Storms can Dlav more havoc on the ocean, how r ever, than other places though i,t doesn't take a storm to give the fisn a nice dinner from over the rail of a passenger ship laden with tourists and other necessary evils. Like humans, storms will go anywhere though the storm's trip is not interrupted by meeting humans while human's trip 3s just naturally ruined by meeting a storm. .When there appeals to be g a storm brewing, the sweet young Hashing puts on her several miles or SllMlce and net built around a quarter Hpjg^Hv& yard of pink tafetta, which is gpBetter known as the party dress, an3 ^^^then goes out to meet the storm only IBr to return and cuss her poor husband W out because he isn't willing to fork over half a hundred for a new one. ?| But of all the different storms, the m domestic storm is the worst and by If far the most dangerous. And the worst part about any storm is the | aftermath as any who have ever been in one can vouch, and proDaDiy snow scars, for.

July 1.?"There has been t considerable delay in the publication | of the acts passed at the last legislaj ture, but I understand the body or them has been printed and that work is now be'ng done upon the index. I : hope they can be distributed by e*"ly fall," says Attorney General Pee* > /-.nnpco sin r?ninir>n whip.h 'iP j U" ' , rendered to a Newberry magistrate, , citing a law* passed by the last gen eral assembly. I Four months have elapsed since the legislature adjourned and the com| plaint at the delay of the code com missioner is general throughout the ; state. It is absolutely necessary for those charged with the disbursement i of funds, narticularly, to have copies of the acts under which they are ! working constantly before Jien*. : Judges and magistrates and all those : charged with the enforcvir.ent of the r * law need the acts. The only way to get the copy of an act desired, until they are published, is either to call in person at the secretary of state's offire and look at the original, or se cure a certified copy from the secretary of state. If the delay should be much greater, the laws providing for I the raising of revenue and the disI bursement of funds will have expired before the acts are published.. The legislature of 191b changed the j method of enrolling acts by providing ! that they should be typewritten in duplicate, In order that a carbon co?y rvy-nrut ho fn-nishpd the code commis ItXifrj.iV, W 4M4 M.W..WW _ ; sioner in the interest of a speedy pub! lication. The desired result, however, has not been accomplished. It has been suggested that the office of code commissioner should be combined with ! that of supreme court reporter so that . the court might correct any unneces ( sary delay. ! The attorney general's-opinion fn which the delay in the publication of the acts is called attention to, states the law in reference to using an automobile without the consent of the . oner.- It is as follows: "Mr. Charles W. Douglas, Magistrate, Newberry, S. C. "Dear Sir: Answering your letter of the 25th inst.

( 1 [n>?-SPl \ PLAN TO PACK Al'DUBUN MEETING A ' onfidrnt?-!*' L?fter. ?n Wh'fh TriotisnjT Clearly Cleans *\Servile to Manning1*?Review of Fxtre uteij Factional Governor'* Tactic?. Columbia, .July 6.?Governor Manning is insisting upon a "regularly j - ailed meeting" of the Audubon society to send him a recommendation for * - 'u f xror/ion appointment a cmei. The anti - Richardson faction of the Auduboa society is making an 'earnest effort to pack any meeting which may he cailcd with a sufficient number of proxies of new members to( override the Richardson faction.

It is really a beautiful "surprise" for which they are working and shows a fine Italian hand, but the trouble is the "surprise" simply won't work. The manner of it is shown by the, following "confidential" communication in the nature of an invitation to the "select" to attend the little party at which, confidentially," the antiRichardson faction is, confidently exj pecting to do all the honors: *?ry Important j "Please mail enclosed duplicate to a I reliable friend. i onr?

F. FUNDEBURK, "Secretary Audubon Society." The May Meeting. ! It will be recalled that at the May meeting of the society, when the name of Col. Alfred A. Richardson was for ; the third time sent to the governor, ! the entire old membership list of 1916 i as turned over by the former sercrei tary. Miss Belle Williams, who is a | member of the anti-Richardson facj tion, was recognized, and those on the ! list, together with members taken in ! since that time, allowed to vote, irre' spective of whether or not they had ' kept up their dues. Even with this concession on the part of the Rich ardson faction, Colonel Richardson's majority over Mr. Wade Hampton j Gibbes was overwhelming, and would i still have been overwhelming had evj ery proxy submitted by the Gibbes ' faction, -irrespective of its eligibility, i been counted. When the governor for A "? ^>-1- 1 T-? S l the third time returned uoiwnei ardson's name as "unsuitable,"' Presi[ dent Adams sent out letters asking ? for an expression of the society's J choice in order to break the deadlock, and President Adams himself was named by 206 out of 218 who replied ?large majority of the entire membership of the society. Governor Manning returned President Adams' name as "not suitable/' with a letter ic j which he held that the choice was no1 | "regular," and now comes anotner ieii ter from him requesting a "regularly _ | called meeting." J "Patriotic*' People. . j At the May meeting of the society ; it was claimed by some of the Gibbes .; supporters that the meeting had been j packed with Richardson proxies. In j the matter of "packing," however, ii L | appears that the anti-Richardson fac. tion has taken off the laurels, in view \ of the confidential communication j quoted, for the purpose of securing proxies with which to stampede the meeting on the day it is held. The ,1 meeting on the day it is't5:ulzhpB2w call is for "patriotic" people," which being translated, means people whc will vote for an administration partisan. But the "surprise" which has been planned will now be no surprise at all, and the dollars and the proxies which may pour in probably will not after all, suceeed in $e naming ol . ;o.? o-a-mA warden. The IUC nc.vi, buivi o plan was well conceived, and really does credit to the partisan political methods which have twice overridden the legislature as to the manner o! the selection of a chief game warden; which have ousted Colonel Richardsor from the office because he belongs tc the Reform faction, and which have brought about that paralysis of "game and fish conservation" which is spokj en of "confidentially." It is a beautii ful plan. The only trouble with it is that it simply won't work. ANCIENT PROPHECY TELLS OF GERMANY Document Three Hundred Years Old Says Country Will Be Divided Into States. The State. A copy of a prophecy said to be 300 years old and written by Brother - - - * v Johnannes, a monk, in wtiicn xne suuduing of Germany, her subdivision into 2S states (the exact number of German provinces at the present time), removal of fortifications and armies from within her borders, and i ' universal peace, were predicted, was presented yesterday for publication : by Mrs. M. A. Cramer, who has ; charge of the Timrod library. The j copy was made from a Boston paper I and sent to Mrs. Cramer by a friend. In the prophecy the nations are typified as follows: The Black Eagle, Germany; the Crow, Belg&um; the Leopard, England; the White Eagle, Russia; the Other Eagle, Austria. The copy of the prophecy reads: "The Black Eagle seizes a crow and is forced to let go by the Leopard, then is attacked by the White Eagle. Tlie Other Eagle tries to help the Black Eagle. It goes on till the whole world is in a battlefield. Finally the Black Eagle is subdued; Germany is subdivided into 28 states, I For Your Rea< New Books by ] $1.00 Copies for $1.25 Copies for r":U o uiiuei QL I I i ! ? ____ . Third Annua i ! of I.
