Editor THE ThxEs:
Will yon allow me space to enter a pro
test against a foolish custom?
I had hoped that our new town council
would discontinue the ordinance that re.
quires the policeman to ring the town bel)
each hour of the night. This bell is at the
town hall, south of the court house pIazza,
and about 400 yards from the business
block. To strike this bell each hour of the
night the policeman muset leave the vital
pot of his watch and traverse this dis
tance, climb a long fiight of steps and en
ter an apartment. The time required tc
do this gives ample time for them to smash
a glass and abstract two double-barre:
guns, force a window, rob and fire a build
ing, or open a warehouse door with falst
keys and carry away sacks of coffee and
Why such a foolish, absurd, ridiculoum
and castly custom to property ownert
shold be persisted in is beyond the power
ofmy reasoning faculties.
The ringing of the bell is entirely un.
necesary, but if considered indispensablt
to kep policeman on duty, then why not
hang it on the plazza, say midway between
the northeast and northwest corner of the
sae?
IIt seems,~ too, that prudence would sug.
nest that the police be ordered to allow ne
person to remain with them after a certain
reasonable hour of the night, and that they
be instructed to accost each and every citi
zen seen on the streets after said hout
;hos actions seem at all suspicious, and
that ther~ names and the hour be noted fot
future reference. E. S. Entsx.

Hon. E. D. Smith of Sumter, prezen
candidate for Superintendent of Educatiot
on the Prohibition ticket. then addresse
the audience on education in a masterl
effort. While not opposed to St:te aid t
State institutions of higher learning, h
said the school per capita of State aid wa
only $2.37 to the free schools, while it wa
1.97 to the colleges. This he thought at
injustice, that the common free school
suffered thereby, instead of being fostere.
as te State's nurary, that in this grea
inequality the injustice lay.
Professor Acermnan, principal of the Laki
City High School,' an accomplished teache
and Rev. Mr. Kirton gave an address or
education. Both of these gentlemen de
lighted the audience. Professor Acermart
"mnade a hit" when in the course of hi
address he said that the usual three month
free school term would never give a Chilh
an education; that the avei'age biy an
girl of this day would generally forget wha
they had learned in the lonig interval elaps
ing between the free school terms.
Last but not least, the audience was no
invited to a sumptuous dinner of ever;
good thing eatable that those good peopl
know how to prepare. After partaking c
a bountiful supply of it and a good smoke
your scribe wended his way homeward, re
alizing that he was indebted to Professo
