There is scarcely . a ( day but what one or more of these ,j women are up before the. recorder, 1 and Just what disposition to make of these cases is a serious problem to the city authorities. In every case of conviction the recorder sentences •them to pay u fine of $100 or serve SO days iii jail. In very few cases are they in position to pay the flue and to \ fill the county jail ami guard house with thlr> class of women Is a dead expense on the city and does no good tW the imprisoned either morally or , mentally. -' **\>Iu many cases, whore the entlr?, fine cannot bo paid, n part'of it Is , .suspended conditionally, the record er: exercising in each case his heat •judgment.. • ‘ ' Before .the county disposed- of the Poor Farm, these women were work- ont there with good effect but’ i"! since it's, been disposed of there is no place to send these women to. .The wages paid cooks and washer . woman in.'Florence are extremely high and their services are very much' in demand, many people being absolutely unable to get either and yat'the town is so full of vagrant women that one or more come before (he recorder almost every day. ' The police department is to be commended for its effort to break up their gang and it's a pity that some means of punishment might not be devised that would make the life of the- vagrant female a terror iu Flor- . ence. The male vagrant can be easily cared for, for the road work of the county is ever in need of his services and ;:o days shoveling dirt thereby boosting good roads for Florence county has a telling effect, and just what to do with the women vagrants is a perplexing question to the au- , thorities, but they are determined to devise some means of ridding Flor- '• 1 encc ofthctp,and here's hoping them <. , abundant success. cal enterprises, nor to pay taxes nor would be have anything to contri bute to the church, and so lie without hi« local customers liKcttlta oe iu a most d’plorafile condition.

We do not "know of any reason why Florence merchants cannot uud jluuld not sell goods as cheaply as the tperchunts of other chic* and yet wa are told by Mr. J. 10. McBride in his card published in the Times of Tuesday that such is not the.case. But we do know that for souie reason entirely too muclij nukiey , is being sent oft to merchantsJn c/ih- tan,t cities by home Layerk^wid this Is borne out by the records in the local post office money order busi ness, and this we should like to see entirely eliminated and it cun and should be done. No one can blame the buyer for getting his merchandise at the low est possible ccst. it is not only good ■judgment but is essential during these times and lie owes it to his family and to himself to buy where his money goes the furthest. The local merchant owes it to his business, to his town and to com munity and to his customer to be able to meet honest competition squarely in the face. We need to get together in Flor ence and to eliminate this mall order business. We need the mo^ey at home and we need to remedy the evil, whatever that fault he. ♦ ♦ TODAY'S EVENTS * • ♦ ♦ ♦ conference of a to meet to Baltimore to large to the To remove snow from city streets a motor driven machine has been in vented that cleans an eight foot swath at a rate of bOO feet a minute.

SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Women should bo taught by those of experience that their most precious possession is their health. Upon it depends happiness, success and attractive homes, —for no home can be attractive or happy with a despondent, nervous, irritable wife and mother, sutfering from the ills peculiar to her sex, such as displacements, ulceration, inflammation, irregulari ties and the consequent headaches, backache, and dragging down pants. It is such women who should listen to common sense advice and when such symptoms appear try that most successful of all medicines, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs and contains no nar- eol irs or harmful drugs, and which for more than forty years has been restoring American women to health.
