Sunday newspapers carried a story of the league's plan for relief of travelers through this section of South Carolina and in response many* notes of encouragement have been sounded for their action in the matter. It is hoped f>y the body that others will give expression of views and offer suggestions whereby moi*url8uHjCan P*** P?*nt without the baq^taste of which so many are complaining. Among the number who has been summarily dealt with in the little village of Blaney for alleged violations of the speed regulations is R; W. Crosland, wholesale manager of the Black-Frasier Motor Car company, of Columbia, who declares in a letter to the Young Men's Business League that the proposal of placing large signs to warn the motoring public of the speed-trap is certainly a great move for the body. "There is no telling how many people have been caught at Blaney for speeding or rather what they call speeding," says Mr. Crosland in his letter. I was one of their victims over two months ago and the number of the receipt given me was 80. In talking with the officer he stated he had only been there not quite a month so you will see that he has caught over 80 in less than one month. "There is no telling how many people have been caught, going through that town, while the officer hides under a tree and after you get down the road about a quarter-mile then pinch you for speeding. This is an outrage," continues Mr. Crosland's letter, "and something should be done about it and at once. , "I have been told," further stated Mr. Crosland, "that the officer went to Blaney from Columbia and furnished his own motorcycle and is, or was, working on a commission. This should be stopped, if it is correct, and I understand it is. When I was held up by him he was using a very old machine and the next .time I went through, which was about two weeks ago, he had a new machine so I presume he was catching quite a few." DEATH AT KERSHAW W. W. Horton Succumbs to Lengthy Illness at Late Home. It is with much regret that we this week chronicle the death of W. W. Horton, who succumbed to his ailment on Sunday night about 11:30, following a protracted illness extending over several months. For many years he had been a sufferer with kidney trouble. On the 15th day of last August his sufferings became far more acute, and on the J9th day of the month he was taken to the Baptist hospital in Columbia for treatment. He remained for several weeks and re turned home somewhat improved, his improvement continuing until he was able to visit his store on Monday, October 31, for the first time since being taken to the hospital. The same night, however, he became alarmingly worse, and began to decline rapidly until the end came on -Sunday night, the 20th. Mr. Horton was born near the town of Kershaw May 18, 1871 and was therefore, in his 57th year. He was a son of the late W. S. and. Jane 'Hunter Horton and spent mg?^ of his younger life at home on the farfr^until after the building of the town of Kershaw, when he came here to clerk. He was married twice. First to Miss Nannie Leila Cauthen, March 3, 1897. Some time after this marriage he moved to JJartsville for a while, and upon returning to Kershaw began business for himself, which business he continued for the remainder of his life and carried on farming in connection. He was married the second time to Miss Eva C. Brittain, January 23,-1918. Of these two unions six children survive: Hazel Bernard, of Cartersville, Mo.; William Randolph, Miss Marie and Walter Howard, children, of the first marriage; and William Waite and Charles Ernest, children of the second marriage, all of Kershaw. Mr. Horton was a good citizen and stood only for that which was best <for the community. He served f o* a tlihe as a member of the city council and j| that capacity stood for the right always. "HHe wup a consistent member of the Kershaw. First Baptist church, and from that church the funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock by his ^pastor, Rev.

Bell of Lugoff is in the Baptist hospital because he ate a Thanksgiving dinner, but nevertheless he is in a bed in the institution and a partial plate of false teeth rests securely in his oesophagus despite the efforts of physicians early last night tc remove the same. Mr. Bell came to Columbia early last night for medical treatment after having swallowed a portion of plate about ?ne and a half inches long and a half to an inch wide. The plate, with one false tooth in it, was found by an x-ray picture to be in the oesophagus of Mr. Bell and he \v(as immediately taken to the operating room where-j an attempt to remove the object was made without success. While Mr. Bell's condition last night was not serious, physicians said that anyone with such a large piece of hard foreign matter located in the oesophagus must be watched with care and after an examination today it will be decided whether or not another attempt to remove the plate will be made. Mr. Bell swallowed the plate and tooth', he told physicians, while enjoying his Thanksgiving repast.
