('., Friduy. Jan. 27, l^2S From a Former Citizen In writing to The Chronicle u few days ago, with a renewal of his subscription, we arc in receipt of the following highly appreciated letter from a former citizen, now a wellknown practicing attorney in a distant city: "The paper comes regularly and is always a welcomed visitor to my desk as I still see a number of the names of friends 1 knew over thirty years ago. Am also greutly pleased to note the activities in JwjMnoss and building circles and confidently expect the town to become a real city in u very fnw years. "Some of my fondest recollections cluster about the old town, and While I rejoice to note its progress, 1 trust it will never lose its original charm as a place of real homes, of hospitality and chivalry." The field force of the South Carolina Highway Department are now in vurious sections of the state rounding up those who have not yet received their 192H automi/bile license tags. Those who have not yet secured this year's tag would do well to keep off the highways if they want to stay out of the "hands of the law." Report of The (JiiiM. According to YVillium I). Cook, special agent, there were 24,270 bales of cotton, counting round as half bales, ginned in Kershaw County, from the crop of 1027 prior to .January 10, 1028, as compared with 8M.27M bales ginned to January 10, 1027. Making a Correction. In our report of taxes collected la-t week The Chronicle made an ert < r by using these words relating to tux executions after March lath: "The unpaid lax list goes over to the sheriff who issues executions." This was an error on our part. The treasurer issues the executions on all unpaid taxes and these are placed in the hands of the sheriff for collection. In the matter of the back taxes, the sheriff on!\ had one years taxes to collect, as the outgoing sheriff, (i. C. Welsh, turned over a practically a clean sheet to Sheriff McLeod.

Anderson of [ f ayetteville, grand master of Masons ( of North Carolina, made at Raleigh U> ; the 111st session of the grand lodge j on ruesday, shows that there are 40.000 members '-J the fra'ein:.t\ in [ that state.

D. GALLOWAY Bithopvilli, S. C. H | V? \ VICTORY AND DEFEAT Governor Winn on Hunduy HmI?h But l.ortf.s on Hunduy Go*. Columbia, Jmii. 20.?The State Supreme Court, in an opinion on the so-called Sunday blue lawn, filed late today, held that yaaolinc cannot be sold in South Carolina on Sundays, hut that udconunercialized golf playing in lawful. The dociaionii, whu h grew out of an attempt a year ago by Governor John G. Richards to enforce t'he ancient Sabbath observations statutes of the State, some of which date back ' to 1091, therefore, constitute a victory and defeat for th% chief executive's interpretation of the laws. Except to say he was well pleased with the court's action, Governor Richards would make no comment. The remittitur in the case, in accordance with regular procure, will be bunded down in ten days, at which time the court's opinion will tuke effect. In the prevailing opinion, written by Associate Justice Eugene S. Bleaae, it was held in both cases tliat the circuit judges erred when they granted the injunctions by which the governor's law enforcement officials were restrained from interfering with the playing of golf and the selling of gasoline and motor oils. The court summarized its opinion us to golf as follows: "That it is not unlawful for one to engage in the game of golf as an exercise, sport or pastime on Sunday, but it is unlawful for one in any way or manner to engage in golf as a worldly laU^j- or business on Sunday." Pointing\to the fact that the statute specifically makes the Sunday laws apply to persons more than fifteen years old, the opinion held that caddies under that age could be used. In like manner the opinion as to gasoline was summarized as follows: "That the sale of gasoline and motor oils on Sunday, and the exercise of the business of selling those articles, can only be engaged in under the law where it is done, as stated in the statute, as a 'work of necessity or charity;' that the burden of showing the necessity or charity must rest upon the seller and guilt or innocence of any persons charged with the violation of the statute must depend entirely upon the facts and circumstances of each case, as is the general rule in all prosecutions for criminal offenses." I he blue law cases grew out of a campaign by Governor Richards shortly after he took office, in January 18 of last year, to stop all golf on Sunday and to prevent the sale ol a!! articles of merchandise except a Jew classes he recognized as necessities, which included milk, ice, drugs and prepared meals. Numbers oi goiters were arrested at various points in the State, and all acre acquitted by juries in magistrates' courts. 'c' 1 he golf question came to a crisis when Circuit Judge Hayne F. Rice issued an injunction upon the petition > ! 1 ho-ma* Hitchcock, international!v known po'o p'ayer, and others, restraining officers of the law from in'< rawing with the playing of the game on thi Palmetto links and the High.and Park courses, of Aiken. A snort time later the Charleston Oil t ompany, of Charleston, sought the same remedy by obtaining an ir.jtim tion from Circuit Judge William H. Grinriball, preventing interference by officers with the sales ! gn?o':ine and motor oils. t^n instructions of Governor Richj aids. Attorney General John. M. j hanieN appealed from the orders ot Judge Rice and Grimball, and in j its opinions today the ' court dis! solved both injunctions. In the gasoline case, Chief Jus| tier Watts, Associate Justice Sta; bier. Associate Justice Carter and As^ >o? into Justice Cothran concurred, the last named in the result only, re| rvii.g his opinion as to the eon\ >titutional.ty of the statutes involved. ; Chief Justice Watts dissented j "! ,ni majority opinion in the I g"lt rav, while Associate Justice van dissented part and conciiM-ed in par:. Associate Justice >.ab.er and ( arter concurred with Justice. Blease. McVlahan Injured By Auto. John J Me.Vlahan. of Columbia, nsurance commissioner of South Carolina, was struck and received injuries by a hit and run auto drivi er at the intersection of Sumtei and ; Pendleton streets, in Columbia, last I Saturday afternoon about two o'clock, j Mr. McMahan whs crossing the j Street when the car suddenly swe-.ed , around the coiner, hitting him on the ; ktiee and knocking him to the street, i His left arm and wrist were badly sprained and he was otherwise j bruised. His injuries are not conj sidered a; sericuv iwp ' ?? junior ordkr active 1 Rated ?!i One of the htf|Mt FraUr* nal Ordern in America. The Junior Order United American Mechanics was instituted in America 76 years ago ami since that time there has been 2,000 council# organized and still functioning in over 44 states of the union. At the present time the membership of this order exceeds 840,000 and is rated as one of the largest fraternal organizations in America. The wonderful success that this order has enjoyed is largely due to the principles for which it stands, namely: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, separation of church and state, protection of Americans and their interests, upholding of American free public schools and encouraging the reading of the Holy Bible therein, helping and assisting its members, and taking care of the deceased members widows and children. The order provides for the creation of a fund for the puyment of benefits in case of disability or death of its members to their legal dependents. It also maintains two homes for the children of deceased members. At these homes the children are given a common and high school education and vocational schools are maintained wherein they are taught a trade to fit them for the battle of life, also they are given a thorough knowledge of God's word. These two homes?one located at Tiffin, Ohio, and one at Lexington, N. ?are taking care of 1,850 children of deceased members of this order. The Junior Order has always advocated compulsory educational laws and is still doing so. It is largely (Jue to the efforts of this order that we now have a uniform text book in South Carolina. This order has been the cause of more thun 50,000 flags of our country being raised above opr public schools and most as many Holy Bifbles placed within, them, thus preparing our; youth for the highest type of American citizenship, and inspiring them with "Virtue, Patrotism, and Liberty," the attributes of which are now and will be in the future, responsible for our national life. \ On September 2, 1927, DeKalb Council No. 88, Jr. O. U. JV. M., was instituted in Camden, &. jC., with a charter list of 26 members, and since that time, the membership has grown wonderfully, but we are not satisfied with our present membership, and are therefore muking every effort possible to increase by getting into the order the men of the community that stand for the principles, upon which our Order is based. Should there be any old Junior Order men in Cumden that desires to be reinstated, or any others that want to join, the local council or any of its members, will be glad to take the matter up with them. The council will meet iu regularsession Monday evening, February ? at 8 o'clock pnd immediately following a fish supper will be served.
