LIBERTY HILL HAPPEN INGS Gathered by Our Corres pondent There. Mr. ,E>ddtor:v The fair weather and wind of the past few days has greatly aided in drying: out the roads in this section and with a little scraping and other repairs traveling would now be more agreeable. (This does not refer to Highway No. 97 but to the County roads.) We hear that Mr. T. P. Morgan foreman of Highway 97, with his force, worked all night during the high water last week, strengthening and protecting the approaches to the . Beaver Creek bridge, the high water and strong winds of Tuesday causing some damage to the embankment but it was soon repaired and the road opened to traffic. I State Constable T. J. Cunningham i was here a few days last week work ing on the robbery of the store of Messrs. Mackey, Jones & Company With slight clues and some clever de tective work he soon connected John ' Patterson, a young colored man who I lives near here, with the crime. Pat ' terson was carried to jail at Camden 'and later made a confession implicat j ing another boy who has not been 'found yet. The svoien goods for the most part have been recovered. Messrs. Mackey Jones & Company (are having the tenant houses on their Cedar Rock plantation re-covered with shingles. I Representative N. S. Richards is at home for the week-end. He says that the Bond issue and supply bills will soon be out the way, which is about all of importance yet undone, and the long drawn out legislative sessions will probably adjourn "sine die" dur ing the week. The Pastor being away on his other appointments, services at the Presby terian church Sunday were conducted by R. C. Jones, who read a v<;ry in teresting sermon. Miss Joesphine Wardlaw, who has been living in Chester for several years underwent an operation in a hospital there last week for appendi citis and also the removal of her ton sils. Her brothers, Messrs. W. C. and R. J. Wardlaw, Jr., went over Sunday to see her, and report that she is get ting along very nicely. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Thompson and children of Heath Springs were visi tors in the home of Magistrate Thomp son on Sunday. Messrs. R. J. Wardlaw, Jr. and A. C. Cureton, Jr., each of whom are em ployed at the State prison in Colum bia were at home for the week-end with their parents. Mr. and1 Mrs. J. G. Richards, 3rd, of Cheraw, spent Sunday here in the home of Mrs. C. E. Richards. Post Master C. D. Cunningham made a business trip to Lancaster on Saturday. On Tuesday last we accom panied County Director D. M. Kirkley and Mr. Ghartle Cauthen from Camden to Kershaw. We stopped for a Bhort while at the chain gang camp under Supt'. C. A. Johnson. Mr. Kirk ley is greatly interested in the bu'ld ing and improvement of the county road system and has done much to advance that line of work to its pre sent improved condition. C. Liberty Hill News Among the Color ed People A. W. Gaither, one of our oldest and best known colored citizens died at his home here on Wednesday morning last. He was taken sick the evening before while he was at work. It was not thought that his condition was serious but he died before next mom ,ipg. He was buried Friday evening in the new cemetery at the Presby terian church with Masonic honors, after services by Rev. Roseborough cf Camden, the pastor. He was a g^od farmer and also worked at the carpen ter trade. He was a useful man and had many friends among both races. He will be missed. Sam Gaither of Atlanta who left here several years ago was hero Fri day to attend the burial of his fathor. Jim Duren, who owned a farm near Cedar Rock, has sold his place to Mr. R. C. Jones and moved to Sumter. M. B. Brevard otia of our thrifty colored farmers has sold his place on Singleton Creek to the Power Co. and is building a dwelling house on another place he owns about two miles out on the Heath Swings road. Annual Field Day for (Colored Schools The Kershaw County colored teach ers association has decided upon March 15th as the date for the annual field day for the schools of the coun to. *"An interesting program has been arranged and the public is cor dially invited to these oxercises. A bout fifty per cent of our schools have closed, but in spite of thU fact we are expecting a large and inter esting crowd. Come and see what the schools are doing and compare just a few years ago with the present" \ advises Klise F. Molester, supervisor of colored rural schools. . Mr. Hudson Expresses His Views on' Farming and Road Building Dear Mr. Blrchmore: In sending check for my subscription to The Mes- ! senger, which I have read for the past 36 years ? had it to follow me where- J ver I went ? I was wondering if any of my "old frienda" would care to know | if I were still in the land of the living, or do we so soon forget, that we do not care? To write this was suggest ed by meeting in Maxton, N. C., a few days ago, one of my old friends from Beulah, Mr. Jesse Sowell. Yes, it was a real pleasure to me?t him, and ask about somt of my old friends there. Not living in the past by any means, yet it is a pleasure to look back to the days when I learned to farm on "Pine Farm" and Hermitage. Sure I strove to "treat the othcT fellow" fair not caring so much for the re I ward, but of a conscience of a "duty well done," and this has been my aim in life "to give the best that is inme". Did I succeed? Well I left a record of 17 years without a failure, and am proud to say, that if our good old state ever returns to the position she i should hold in agriculture, wo will have to return to the old method of ! farming. Have the farm managed by ''practical", not "business farmers'', and worked with hirod labor, not "share-croppers" by the one and two mule tenant. A pity that the first man who ever "let a share crop" until he was "dead and forgotten". I have proved by experience, that a ten mule farm can be worked cheaper and pro duce a third more, than by the one nuile system. I am not referring to men who own their land, and do their own work. Would that their tribe would increase, but to the "tenant sy stem of farming." Now just a few words. After work ing for "the other fellow", "buying and selling,'' farming in the southern and northern part of the state, I have landed at McColl, S. C., and am rent ing a 200 acrq farm here, and a 12 mule farm at Laurinburg, N. C., and was fortunate, after the disaster of last year, to get sufficient cash to finance them* In fact I havo ''the best chance of my life," and am still working the place I have referred to, and have never given the labor share crops, and never expect to. Saw when I was a boy that the "one mule sys tem" was a failure and would not get you anywhere any faster that I wrote The State five years ago. As to the pay-as-you go road system ? It was all right "provided you didn't have far to go," and am glad to see that the business men of the suae see the sit uation at last, and are working for the bond plan. Some of the "little fel lows" can see as far as the statesman. B. M. HUDSON. Rupture Shield Expert Coming to SUMTER AN COLUMBIA . .In Sumter on Friday Mar. 15 at the Claremont Hotel and in Columbia on Monday and Tuesday, Mar. 18 and 19 at the JefferHon Hotel from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Evenings by Appointment. ONE DAY IN SUMTER AND TWO DAYS ONLY IN COLUMBIA No Charge for Consultation Mr. C. F. Redlich, the successful expert says: The ''Perfect Retention Shields", hold the rupture perfectly no matter what position the body assumes or how heavy a weight you life.

Stomach trou ble, backache and constipation often caused by Rupture promptly disap pear. Truly remarkable results habe been obtained with recent and not yet ful ly developed ruptures and many old ones also. No legstraps^ or clastic belts are used. Can be wora while bathing and are highly sanitary being imper vious to sweat. I/etters from highly satisfied clients available.

We learned with sincere regret of the death of Mr. W. S. Rozier, of Bethune, which occurred somewhat suckdenly at his home a short distance above the town Monday, about mid. day. For many years we had known Mr. Rozier and regarded him as a warm personal friend. He was a man of the strictest integrity and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. His life was spent on his farm, in the conduct of which he was very successful. As a neighbor and friend he was always sincere and help ful. A loyal citizen, a sincere friend andl kind-!hearted' neighbor, ihe has gone to his reward. Sincere sympa thy is felt for his bereaved family. The funeral services will take place today and the interment will be in , the Scotch burying ground near Be- I thune. ' Tax Paying Time Extended.

The senate yesterday passed Sena tor Hammond's bill to authorize ihe state highway commission to pur chase the bridge across the Wateree river in Kershaw county with its via ducts and approaches for a sum not exceeding $2tH),U00, with amendments introduced by Senators G rover C. Welsh and Philip II. Arrowsmith. Senator Welsh's amenum nts pro vide that all sums of money belong ing to Kershaw county to be held by the state treasurer at the best rate of interest obtainable ami be dis bursed by him on the requisition of the county board of directors, the, senator from Kershaw and at least one member of the house deLgatior and thai Kershaw county retain juris diction over the bridge until th-1 state highway commission shall have complied with the provisions of the art.

The State. Will Serve Time in Kershaw County llonry Truesdale, who was convict ed of manslaughter in the court here some time ago and giv^n a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary, has been brought back to this county to serve time on the public works of the county. Edward and Laurence Dyke who were convicted at the re cent term of court here ami sentenced to serve nine months in the peniten tiary, were also brought back to serve their sentences on the chain gangs of the county. These were thv young men who left Camden in a car that had been rented from Mr. Trax ler to go to Columbia in, but who drove it to Rhode Island where they were arrested and held for the officers here. Th<? county directors felt that as the county had had the expense of thrir arrest and trial they were entitled to their work, which is a reasonable proposition, and the county needs the help of its prisoners on the roads. Sam Jones, a colored prisoner, was also returned to Kershaw county to work on the roads here. Charlie Atkinson, who escaped from the gang several weeks ago, has been caught and is back on the gang. He has forfeited his time off for good behavior on the gang and will have to serve full time now. Dr. Peterson to Make Address, i Columbia, March 10. ? W. S.
