Senator Hleant: and Governor Richards
may *Vap places, according to
the newa of the day. The senator
han admitted that he would rather be
governor of South Carolina than anything
else, and Mr. Richards is having
such a warm time trying to fill
the chair like a statesman that possibly
he would welcome the change.
What the voters of the state would
say about t he shuffle, however, is
another story.?-Florence News Review.

Tombstone Sentiments
Many people are buried under
gravestones containing misleading
epitaphs; there is no for.i\ of boasting*
as glaring as that on gravestones.
A news idea is a board to censor
such sentiment^. * When a marble
slab is placed .over a man's grave,
although his real character actually
suggests a wolf or jackass, the board
of censors will have it removed, and
possibly heavily fine those relatives
who are responsible.
1 do not favor the idea. Not a
great many visit cemeteries, and if
we must exaggerate, let it be confined
to as quiet a plac^ as possible.

OFFICERS
An officer is just a man at best.
And if lie isn't a good and true nad
tried and dependable man, with
enough income to be above ordinary
temptation, there isn't any estimating
to what ends he will go with the
little authority entrusted to him.
The killing of the bridegroom at
Jesup, the two men killed at Folkston.
the girls who were shot and chased
in South Carolina for no other reason
than they ran away when they
thought they were being stopped by
highway-men. a similar crime in
Alabama, and many of these in Georgia,
the girl in Alabama whom tho
officers chased and claimed she killed
herself with a larger pistol bullet
than her pistol carrried?all of these
serve to illustrate the importance of
raising standard of police officers to
the highest possible point. We aie
enlarging the powers, trusting them
with more ami more authority and
discretion and power, and if they are
not worthy of it, human liberty is being
jeopardized. For what an officer
can do in enforcing the prohibition
law, he cab and will do in reference
to other laws.?<W. T. Anderson,
in Macon Telegraph.
Notice About Crooks
hen a man has been exposed as
a crook, and everybody knows he is
a crook, you can't stop speaking to
him when you pass him on the street.
That would be childish.
But you can refuse to have anything
to do with him. You can leave
a group when he joins it. You can let
him know by your manner that you
don't care to associate with him.
And that is what the honest and
decent people of this community must
?do if they hope to discourage crookedness.
The trouble with the town now is
that crooks haVe been able to get
away with all kinds of knavery without
sacrificing social position. People
have been too kind-hearted to
turn a cold shoulder.
But you simply must shun and
ignore the crooks. That's the only
way to get the town clean and keep
it clean.
Their families will get sore, of
course, but that* can't be helped.
Keep away from the thieves.?

Newberry County Gets I>?iry Agent.
Newberry, April 10.?K. D. Steer,
of Clinton, began work in this county,
April 1, as assistant county farm
agent in chaigc of dairy development.
As a result of ail appropriation by
the county delegation in the last
legislature, Newberry county thus
has one uf the few assistant county
agents in the South and the first
county specialist in dairying in South
Carolina. Owing to the growing demand
for extension work many coantie*
in the South are providing appropriation*
for assistant county
agent* to *peciu)ize in various livestock
woi k.
Young Steer is a graduate in dairying
from ( 1 em it on College, the son of
u prominent dairyman at (Clinton,
and has had experience in dairy
farming and cow testing.
County Agent T. M. Mills, is hopeful
of soma progressive results of
the dairying program Mr. Steer ii
launching. It is expected that many
farmers will increase their herds and
that others will diversify their general
farming pragrams by purchasing
tows, thus making Newberry county
less dependent on cotton alone.
From The Soil
"I hold in my hand," said a gentleman
the other day, as he picked up
a handful of soil from a field, "all of
the elements necessary to produce
every article any one of you have on
your bodies."
And he continued, the wool in your
clothing came from the sheep that
graze upon the grass, this soil may
produce. From the cattle, supported
by it, the leather in your shoes comes,
and the cotton in your garments is
grown out of it. Even your eye
glasses are made from the particles
of sand. And you have been fed this
day and every day from its products.
"Buy land, young man," he concluded,
" and take care of it. It is
wealth and a living."?Spartanburg
