Anderson ..Mail. s l>id you ever sit in an automobile Vvhich was speeding along the road, piloted by some jackass who seemed intent on trying out numerous short cuts to eternity, I and then avoiding disaster by a hair'/ Of course you have. Nearly every body, even those who drive fasted and take greatest chances when they are at the wheel themselves, are easily terrorized by the driving of someone else who takes corners too rapidly, or who darts in and out of traffic with .such an apparent disre gard towards danger as to thoroughly scare the other occupants of his auto mobile. it's a feeling that few people like. ' Sometimes it is the result of nerves. Sometimes it is the presence yof real danger that causes this feel ing, but when it comes, great grief, how cine does grip the side of the car, or the hand rail, and press on the floorboards, and hold his body at high tension. Coincident with this thought, a poor nervous woman leaped to her death, or fell to death from the running board of an automobile in Greenville recently. I'erhaps she was nervous, i'. ghlened at what she thought was .'anger, or perhaps she had stood the nt* ve wrecking strain of riding with a reckless driver until her nerves reach ed the state that she would rather risk a leap from a moving car than stay in it longer. When a fellow does fool driving, it is sometimes worth while to consider the other persons in the car with him. It's all right for a fool to kill himself, hut it is hard on other folks who may be ruling with him, dont you think? Ex-Judge. 0. P. Townsend, of Ben nettsville, died Friday, in the ninety first year of his age. He was a Con federate veteran, and at the time of his death was commander, of Camp Heuegan. He was elected circuit judge in 1K71 and served four years. GENERAL NEWS NOTES. .Lieutenant L. H. Sanderson, U. S. M. C.. on Monday drove an army airplane over a measured course at Mineola, L.

No stronger argument against un restricted immigration has yet been put forth than the statement made by the. United Mine Workers of America, that eighty-six Luthuanian Bolshf- ^ vists led the Herriu massacre of non- j union miners. Whether the charge is true or false, ' whether the United Mine Workers are i bolstering up a bad. case, or .showing forth a good one, the fact that there are enough alien Bolshevists in this country to commit such crime, is suf ficient indication that in a low grade ] of immigration lies danger. This country has welcomed to her j shores a vast number of high-grade I foreigners, who have become good j Americans and passed into history as ; fathers of even better Americans. But! it has also allowed aliens of- so low a ! standard of civilization to come in j thai >the body politic ha a been hur;,j and not helped. It is not enoug'i j that a man labor for his daily bread. / , lie must labor and at the same time! observe the law, practice the princi ples, and revere the fundamentals of this country, if he is to be a citizen asset and not a citizen liability. No one knows who or what was responsible for the Herrin murder;. But is is very plain that whether there were eighty-six foreign mur derers engaged, or whether the eighty-she are but an excuse, it is re cognized that Bolshevistic immigrants either have, or may, or do, comipit crimes against the government! Let Congress stand firm against those interests which would commer cialize this country by unrestricted immigration, at the expense of the quality of its citizenship! ? Capital News Service.
