PROPOSES PISTOL LAW. Fort Mill Man Would I*rovlde Uronw for Carriers of Firearm. "With crime rampant throughout the country and the law-abiding cltlens at the mercy of highwaymen, footpads and other desperate characters. it seems to me that the Legislature at the session to begin next January should afford the people the means of protecting themselves as far as It Is possible for them to do so against the many criminals now abroad . in the land." a day or two ago said a Fort Mill business man to The Times. "In North Carolina they have a law, I am Informed, under which any reputable cltlxon who believes that his life Is in danger may secure a permit to carry a revolver for self-protection. We need such a law In South Carolina. Things have reached the point , where no man knows whether his life is safe In this State. Frequently business men and others find It necessary to carrjf large sums of money through the country from one town to another In South Carolina and those men arc helpless to protect themselves against. highwaymen. Others using the town streets and country roads, especially of night, on legitimate business are >t the mercy of these lawless characters. If we had a law In South Car "Una permitting man of good repute to secure a license from some county official to carry a revolver or other flrenrm with which to defend himself If the occasion arose, there would be much less crime of a vlo'eut nature in the State, in my opln on." the Fort Mill citizen concluded.

' It was generally expected that the a.^sessment this year would be considerably more than in 1919, but as & mater of fact the increase for the year amounts to only about $25,000. The Increased levy of five mills produces an Income of about $2,125 on the whole assessment. The treasurer states that as a general thing taxes have been cheerfully paid, many of the taxpayers acknowledging that with everything else abnormally high, taxes could hardly he expected to remain nt the old level.

Men Thirty-three Years Oltl Have Seen More Ttian Their Share. Nations celebrate their centennials and men their birthdays. There remains one anniversary which could best be celebrated right now, says the New York Mall. It is the end of a generation, and the celebrants would be all men born 33 years ago. They have seen more than their share. Some of the marvels of tho generation had their beginnings before, but In effect these things have happened in the last 33 years: The cities have passed from horse cars to en ?>le cars. and from cable cars to electric traction and In various Instances from surface to underground transportation. The motor car has superceded the horse nnS has made two miles In less than a minute; the passenger capacity of American motor cars Is greater than that of American railroad trains. Airplanes have mounted about 30,000 feet In the air; alrplanse and air feet in the air; airplanes and nlrships have crossed the Atlantic; perhaps 50,000 airplanes were used in the world war; mall passenger and express air service have been established. Submarine war vessels came irear driving surface fighting ships from certain sections of the sea. By the wireless telegraph and telephone men can communicate across the sea. By the talking machine they can hear In their own homes the voices of great singers, the music of bands and orchestras. In its motion note men and womtn enacting the situations of picture drama. Electricity has succeeded gas in the home. The bathtub and open plumbing have succeeded the Saturday night wash tub on the kitchen floor. Upon the farm have come the tractor. the telephone, the electric milker. Science, which dowered (he generation with these things, gave U also the infinite curse of poison gas warfare. but did much to square the bill by developing the X-ray, by the discovery and utilization of radium, hy Identifying the vermin carriers of malaria, tvohold veliovi- ?* bubonic plngue. nnd by almost wiping yellow fever from the earth. Man. as the socalled social animal has "struck twelve" In this generation, killing or disabling 40.000,000 of his brothers in the World war, and burning up 00 per cent of the accumulated wealth of the ages. Every autocracy has been consumed in the conflagration, about 50.000,000 heretofore submerged Europeans have gov. erntnents of their own; American women have the vote; 180,000',000 Russian are Inmatbs of a political madhouse with keepers rathe^ tbnn rulers. A tangled record to appraise, with the scientists showing up rather better than the men anointed to rule. One of the good gifts of the generation to the man of 33 is the fact that he is still a young man. which was not the case with his father at the same age; nnd presumably, therefore, he will be able to profit from his own variegated experience.

When it comes to putting to n test real lighting qualities,, the Hangers, only 4-0 in number, are equal to almost any emergency that may arise. They are picked men, and must lie expert marksmen and itt home in the saddle. When a vacancy occurs in a company the captain selects I lie mnn tr? .ill It. "I can look Into a man's eyes and toll whether ho has not the rinht kiml of stuff in hint to make a good Manner," several years ano said Cnpt. W. ?" J. ("Mill") McDonald, who was In the service many years. "I never make a mistake la picking my men." Most of tMe Manners formerly were cowboys. When .a man leaves the Manner service he usually either goes back to the ranch or takes a position at peace ollleer in some county or city. An idea prevails In sonte quarters that the Manners are a reckless, rowdy set of men. Quite the contrary is true, accordion to I.indsay Carter, a writer, who has clteil instances of the moral character of the men. Cnpt. John It. Munhes is a nrcat Sunday school worker, and several J'ears ano Capt. McDonald shot and killed four Mexicans who were tlrini upon him from ambush in a remote locality of the lower Mio Orande border. The next Sunday the captain was hack In Brownsville and occupied a front seat in one of the churches at morninn and eventnn services. The Manners have been prominent in Texas history ever since Sam Hons mn ami nis compatriots soroilod from Mexico ami set up a republic of their own. The United States government orRnnlaed 17 companies of Kansrers during the War of IS12. and they were made a part of the reprnlar army, hclmr mustered out ofter Andrew Jackson's victory at New * >rleans eniled hostilities. When the Black Ilawk war hroke out in the IlahRers were called into heimx again. The rangers later became the First cavalry of the regular army. In the troubles with Mexico they assisted the nrnty and acted as scouts.

The sand was rifted In small eiidics through the air. It swished ami swirled across the fields. "Knsy! Why. I never saw a field so sandy I coiddn't control it and mnke it produce pood crops." The farmer who spoke was \V. S.
