( unsiderable misunderstanding on the point has prevailed of late, following publishing of reports that participants in recent bond elections must have pa id taxes prior to January 1. 11*28. This rule, it pointed out by persons conversant with ballot! regulations, was necessary because if j the t.uxes had Iven paid later, it l vjiould have been with penalty, and ! would have been six months prior to the elections. Of course, there are other regulations, such as the residence requirement of two years in the state and 'six months in the county, and also the rule for registration on the county rolls. However, these points are generally understood, and confusion rolated only to the matter of tax payments. So, if you paid your county taxes during the jieriod allowed up to March, and are otherwise qualified, you can vote in the general election this year?if Rule 32 dosen't influence you to do differently.

'T (I'HiM if 7 .r, ~^ i i How Two Hoblntt Huilt Their Home A correspondent writing in the Rock Hill Record of hurt week telle the following interesting etory of how two robins decided to remain in Rock Hill for the nesting season end how they built their home: "I>et me tell you how much fun I had recently (it wasn't at a bridge party, tea or reception), and at tfie same time learned a bceuttfu! leeson in Nature'* own school?a leeson of patience, courage, perseverance ami good cheer from two little robins. "Rising earlier than usual Friday morning, not yet accustomed to the sun flooding my bedroom so early, I crossed to the window to Ibok out on a nearby pear tree, which does not cease to be a miracle to me from the time the seemingly dead branches burst into abloom until the last tender leaf is full grown, and was attracted by an unusual commotion. Flitting about ami chattering noisily about among the boughs ware two saucy red-breasted robins, evidently bent on the selection of a siite for their summer home. Much to my delight the decision was made in favor of u branch near my winding. It was lots of fun to watch them, and at such close range; the infinite care with which every twig was placed; the patience with which the wind was defied, When the work would have to be started anew: the dexterity and dispatch with which the building was done and .the pleasure derived from the work. Only one of these feathered builders did the manual la!bor. We will take it for granted it was the male, as it should be, while his consort stayed nearby to give encouragement and approval with a cheery song. Together they flew to the ground for material for the new residence, and in an incredibly short time the builder was back with his first load of straw, almost too much for the little beak, a few stray pieces falling, and, unlike the careless sparrow, he would fly back for each falling piece until the first load of straw was safely lodged on the selected spot. 'While the work of building was being done the little helpmate would perch on the topmost limb of a fig tree close by, and sing; her song of cheer until the next trip wax made, when the same procedure was repeated and continued until I left an hour or more later. '.'Upon returning in the afternoon, I hurried to see if thq home had been completed, and it was all intact, ready for occupation, I thought. But all day Saturday there was no housekeeping done in the new home, I and I had begun to wonder if it was | to be abandoned and why ? But | Sunday morning I found out. Many of us probably hated to hear the downpour of rain, but it was just . what those little birds were waiting for, so they could plaster their home, and they were at it bright and early, carrying mud to make it impregnable i to the wind and weather. I "Sitting at my desk, my thoughts 'have dwelt pleasantly in the mem1 ory . of those little "home-makers" ' and their new quarters.

Benton Gang Leader Goes To Gallows Benton, 111., April ID.?Charles Birger, notorious southern Illinois 'gang leader, was hanged at 9:52 a m. today for the murder of Mayor Joe Adams of West City. Birger was pronounced dead five minutes later. Nearly 500 spectators were crowded in the stockade. B: rger slept fairly well in the eaily morning hours and ate a slight breakfast. Until a late hour he sat In his cell and talked to newspaper reporters and other visitors. "I've been a foo-l," Birger said, "I've been no good. I've played the game and lost, but I'll lose like a man. I've liked to live and spend money; maybe I made it in ways folks call crooked?-gambling and bootlegging and that.kind, of business. I I know now that I've done a lot of things that 1 shouldn't. I'm convicted of a crime I didn't commit, hut I have committed a lot of crimes, so I guess things are even. We got too strong against the law and that broke it all up." Mrs. E. Anions, first wife of Birger, was one of the last to visit hi mi last night. She came from Portland." Ore., with her husband several days ago. Arrangements were made yesterday to care for t.he body at an undertaking establishment here. Nathan Birger, the former gang leader's j nephew, had a hearse on hand to con! vev the body to St. Louis, where ;t will he taken to the home of Mrs. Ray Shamsky, Birger's sister, and held until tin fuheral Saturday. Attempt To Steal Car On last Saturday night, between 'he hour of midnight and daylight or Sunday morning thieves robbed l)r,' Turner's coupe of his case of instruments, the rims and tires from the] two rear wheels, threw the cushions out, and left evidence that they had made the attempt, to get the car started. It is a very natural in-1 ference that they first attempted to; tal.e the car apd nil olse c innected wi'h it, but failing in their effort to get the car started they took the articles mentioned above ami left DrJ Turner the loser to the aim unt of a hundred dollars or more, i* >u!es the additional expense he will he put to in replacing his physician's case, in-t struments ami medicines, which he, uses in his medical practict, in addition to the inconvenience he will be put to ur.til these can be replaced.'

An Outrageous and Hilly taw The other day a citizen of South Hill, Va., came down to Alcota, in' Clarendon county, $outh Carolina, and "aecured ?om? labor for bit farm in Virginia." Later he can* to Alcolu to arrange for the truxMportation of some of the member# of three families to Virginia. Already the families had made preparation to go to South Hill and had shipped their household goods. The Virginian was arrested by the sheriff and later released upon the advice of the circuit solicitor after ho had agreed to forfeit a bond of $500. All this is published in the Manning Times. The sheriff is quoted as hav* ing said that the Virginian acted "In a very gentlemuniy manner following his arrest" and said that he was ignorant of the law. Presumably, the officers in Clarendon county and the solicitor were performing their statutory duties and no criticism of them is here offeVed. The law under which the Virginian was arrested is an outrageous one. It should never have been enacted. It ought to have been repealed long ago. It happens that the three families of Clarendon who were about tv> go to Virginia are white people, but that has nothing to do with the matter. The folly and iniquity of the law would be illustrated none the less had they been negroes. Within the last 26 years thousands of persons have been induced to come into the* South Carolina cotton mill villages from the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee and probably southwestern Virginia. Often South Carolina cotton mills! have sent people into those regions to find immigrants and, doubtless, in numerous cases their expenses were I paid. If these mountain states had had on their books statutes similar to that of South Carolina, scores of South Carolinians would have been sent to jail and a valuable element of what is now our population would have remained in their mountain i homes, where they would not have been so well conditioned as they are in thjir new homes. The need of South Carolina for more inhabitants, for more labor, Lr more men and women to utilize its rich and idle resources is far > greater than any or all of its other j needs. The towns, the counties and the state are spending money in conj siderable sums for the purpose of inviting immigrants. We are widely advertising our advantages. Last year the state, at an expense of $25,000, published a handbook, and if its object was not to present the attractions of f.-outh Carolina to outsiders, what was it ? Yet, while we are leaving nothing undone to persuade families of Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and other states to come into South Carolina and share in the benefits of its citizenship, when a Virginia gentleman comes in person into South C arolina and persuades three white families to go to his state we arrest him as a common criminal. Have not these white families of Clarendon liberty to go where they choose? If a Virginian comes to C hai leston and invites a linotype operator or an editor of the News and Courier to accept employment in RichmorM, 3hould he be sent to jail? Would the operator or the editor be guilty of a crime in listening to him or in arriving at the conclusion that he would better himself by emigrating. The law is infamous, and worse than infamous, because it is silly. In principle, it means that a South Carolinian is either an imbecile or! a criminal if he concludes that he would be wise to change his residence, and it is tantamount to an accusation by the state of South Carolina that it is itself guilty of an offense punishable with imprisonment when it undertakes to influence citizens. of other states to settle within its borders. The $500 of forfeited bail4 should be returned to the Virginian, with apology?or all the chambers of commerce in Soutl\ Carolina should burn their advertising "literature."?
