WWII" 1111 A Judge BpeakN Out Judge Marvin M. Mann, addressing a grnnd Jury in Spartanburg county few days ago, made some observations so disquieting that many editors have inveighed against the evils which he cited. He remarked that unless there it an abatement South Carolina will in a few year* be overcome with anarchy. Hut it is only with the conclusion of Judge Mann's charge that we are concerned in this article. We read; However, a warning wa? issued in regard to law enforcement on the public roads. He declared unless stepd were taken to protect the traveling public, South Carolina woull be in bettor circumstances not to have a foot of paved roads. "Several days ago a drunken driver sideswiped my car and 1 was in the ditch at the time trying to avoid a Such uractkas .JUL., UliM must be stopped. Other states havo laws protecting travelers as the license laws and ample police protection. I am recommending no particular method or protection, but something ought to be done, and done soon. "The highways are property of the public. That is where a large percentage of tax money goes. I believe it is the best possible investment. But the property ought to bo protected. With the exception of schools o?nd colleges nearly all the money paid in as taxe* goes for this purpose and the project is well worth giving sufficient police prptection. There is a total of 100 deaths on the highways in this state a year and 400 Injuries. These facts say that protection is needed." We agree fully with Judge Mann that the public should be protected against the irresponsible driver. What we need in South Carolina is a well organized highway patrol similar to that of Pennsylvania. The indignity which Judge Mann suffered is by no means uncommon. Last Hunday a week gone, the writer was returning from Columbia via Saluda. A few miles beyond Leesville a car swerved around him going at a frightful speedy The driver evidently stopped in Batesburg or I>eesville for about midway between Batesburg and Saluda thfe overtook us again.' Dashing pp close behand, the driver blew and ifre turned out immediately.* He cut back onto the pavement so sharply that his renr fender hooked our front bumper, causing our machine to run off on the shoulder and to careen dangerously. The offending car pitched dangerously but the driver never slackened his speed. With cut out wide open, he dashed on without so much as looking back. How many lives, we wonder when we had recovered our complacency. had that criminal lout endangered since he started on that Sunday afternoon jaunt? Our highways ,-houid be freed of such runiians. And along with them coulii be -wept fruin the highways other law breakers who infest it. The money cost of our highways is burdensome enough, but is unavoidable; how long shall we continue to .pay the present assessment in lives? The answer can come only from the legislature.?'Newberry Herald and N e w s.

Farm Relief Bill * Finally Passed Writing from Wunhington under date of February 145, P. H. MeGowan, correspondent for the Columbia State sends out the following: "After a flghl U?,yongreae and out of it that has been going on since the terrible storm of last September to get action soine way that wogld place farmers in the Southeastern states where they could begin to make their crops, those behind the movement today saw success crown their efforts. This was when the house passed the resolutions of Representative Fulmer of South Carolina calling for $6,000,000 with which the farmers might purchase seed, fertilisers and feed for stock, the Senate having previously made it $16,000,000. The matter now goes to eonference wh^re^ 1t' wttt retnain $0,000,000, and the money will be lent just as soon *as the necessary machinery can be put in motion which should b^ within the next two weeks. "While all member# of the delegations from Georgia, South Carolina i and Florida have worked faithfully to get this money for their constituents, it is generally concurred that the bulk of the fight has been on the shoulders of Mr. Fulmer. The resolution first went through the senate with the aid of Senators Smith and Rlease of South Carolina, Harris of Georgia and others, with little trouble. It was in the house that difficulties were met. These came first in the committee on agriculture. Then in at the White House, then at the budget bureau. Those behind the plan never lost faith or. hope that they would eventually be successful and today's result is sufficient to make them feel not only well satisfied but happy over what has been accomplished. The burdens were especially heavy on Mr. Fulmer being a member of the committee on agriculture and directing the fight on the house side. Now the fight is over and the $6,000,000, though not as much by half as was wanted, will help to just that extent. House members and senators alike from the storm stricken area said after the vote was taken that their farmer friends can now go to work feeling that the federal lAithorities are behind them in the effort to get on their feet again."

NHM Gitkerd Frt* The Era of That Place Fire, which originated iit the Williams Grocery on Eaat Marion street was discovered about 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning by 11. Melntyre, who rooms in his store diagonally across the street. Mr. Melntyre gave the alarm immediately, but the lire had gained such headway by the time the fly# department reached the scene that It was beyond control, and all efforts were centered on saving the places of the Kershaw Candy Kitchen on the east side, and the Hose Tea Room on the west side. All these, together with L. D. Hilton's cotton office, compose one building, being separated from each other by a fire wall. The building is the property of J. C. Cook. The Williams Grocery^ operated by Oscar Williams, was a total loss, not * thing being saved nor left unburned, that fire could destroy. The front of the Candy Kitchen was burned through and the stock was badly damaged by fir^, smoke and water. The fropt of the Tea Room was damaged, ond of the plate glass windows and the glass in the transom being badly cracked by the heat, and the wood Work being scorchea by the fire. The building, and the stocks of the Williams Grocery and the Kershaw Candy Kitchen were insured. Our information is that the contents of the Tea Room were uninsured, and it was indeed fortunate for owners, Mrs. W. W. Horton and Mrs. A. B. Whitaker, that the fire did not reach the inside of their place. It will be remembered that this room was just recently rebuilt, having befen destroyed some time ago when it was5 operated by Elliott Mothershed as a cafe. The following announcement, came as a genuine surprise to the many friends in Kershaw of the happy young couple whose marriage is announced therein. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous matrimonial voyage attend them: "Mr. and Mrs. James Virgil Hilton announce the marriage of their daughter, Doris, to Mr. D. Reece Blackwell on Thursday, January the thirty-first, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, Kershaw, South Carolina." Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Plyler and children, Edward Lee and Jean, spent Sunday with Mr. Plyler's father, R. P. Plyler, in the Bethel section of Lancaster county. ft&n Killed Saving Child Augusta, Ga., Feb. 11.?-An unidentified woman driver and two, men companions believed to be from Springfield, S.
