The Reckless Autoist.
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.

Restrict Immigration.
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

Liver and Blood Syrup has given i,u. a
now lease on life," said T. 15. M.por*,
H. H. No. 2(J, Matthews, N. C.
"When I started taking Dr. Thach
er's Liver and Bloood Syrup 1 was in
mighty poor shape. My liver must
not have been working right, for I
was biliouH and constipated ami suf
fered from headaches and that tired
fueling.
"1 read that tKey would give you
.your money back if it didn't do you
good. I could find nothing but praise
for that first bottlo, so I took three
more and it fixed me up fine, my liver
and bowels are doing their duty and
my head is clear and I am full of new
life and energy."
Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Sy
rup is sold by all druggists and if you
are not satisfied the purchase price
will be refunded.
Home owners are making a profit
from the tourist trade by letting
rooms to motor campers. The num
ber of signs offering these accommo
dations are legion. Pricey tire ii round
50 cents to $1.00 per room per night.
This movement does not^ompete with
the hotel trade, but ofTqvs a change to
the tenting tourist. Business in this
line is especially good on rainy nights
when camping-out presents difficul
ties for the amateur wqpdsman.
The more good roads, the nroro auto
?ampers there will be!
