Ballard, has given notice to public and automobile owners that Section 15 of the code of ordinances is now r being enforced effective B. the Some, aware of the striking im provement in their appearance when they let their faces grow what they might, must be tempted tq make the change a permanent one. It seems incredible that beards may become common as ties, but 4 i there is a precedent for a comeback of whiskers after a prolonged ab sence from the scene. A writer in the London Financial Times re cently pointed out that in the lat er Roman empire, beards returned after a period in which shaving was widely practiced. The same thing happened in this county just July 23 in connection with the about a hundred years ago. South Carolina Department of the Highway Patrolmen. The ordinance concerns the muf fling of al! motor vehicles operat ing in the Town of Clinton. It states it is unlawful for any per son or persons to operate any .au tomobile, motorcycle, or other mo tor vehicle in tne city without muf fling the noise made by the exhaust gas from the motors rand it shall be unlawful to sound any signal ope rated by exhaust gases in the city.
