KEEP YOUK MONEY AT HOME Money is the equivalent of power. When you send money awuy from your home town for things you could as well buy at home, you drain part of the community's po'wer away from it. Parasite plants often destroy trees, by sapping out the life from their trunks. Parasite people also ruin communities by receiving its benefits and giving nothing in return.?Rock Hill Record. COURTESY AMONG POLICEMEN Chief Horace Moore has gotten the word over to the police force of the city over whose destinies he has lately been elected to preside, that the first of the demands which he will make of every one of them is that they shall he courteous in the performance of their duty to the public. That, originally would not have boon weighed heavily as a factor in the success of a man on the police force of a town, but today it is vital, for the simple realign tlust officers of the law who are on traffic duty, which the majority of them ure, come into contact not with criminals so much as with the best people they serve in their communities. It is highly important, therefore, that in order to maintain satisfactory relations with the citizenship,-these?officers shall deal with the public in a cordial and courteous manner. Rut the most important consideration is that courtesy is essential in a police officer because of the contacts with strangers that are enforced upon him. When a visitor comes to town, igorant of traffic rules and regulations, and is approached by an officer in a rude and uncivil manner, that visitor takes away with him unpleasant and distaseful memories of the community. On the other hand an officer of the law can make his relations with the>o strangers to turn into a veritable community asset if lie eonduets himself pleasantly and cordially toward them. Chief Moore i- right. Coiirtesty is, indeed, the big word today in the lexicon of sucess in a police department. ?

Boy Kills His Uncle By Stabs From Knife Hazell JBowerf, aged about 21 years, is bi'iiiK h?ld in the county jail by a coroner's jury, charged with the death of B. B. Bowers, aged about 35, who was an uncle of the boy. It is stated that a party had been out hunting squirrels Saturday utter noon about seven miles east of Kershaw near Buffalo church. Late! in the afternoon after the hunt was over several shots were fired at ail empty gun shell as a target, and dispute arose between the two men. The elder Bowers was cut in several places with a knife, the wound provmg fatal was the one under his left arm which severed the main artery. After the fight the wounded ma:i was placed in a truck to be carried to Kershaw for treatment. On the way the truck turned over and it was first reported that the man had died from the truck injuries. Dr. L. T. Gregory, who made the examination, gave it as his opinion that the man died from loss of blood from the wound in the left arm. B. B. Bowers is a son of John I. Bowers, a well known citizen of the Buffalo section, and Hazell Bowers is a grandson of J. I. Bowers. Coroner W. F. Russell held an inquest over the body at Kershaw and the following men composed the jury: A. C. Gregory, foreman; Joe Hough, L. W. Fletcher, T. B. Fletcher, J. E. Hendrix, I). F. Phillips. Their verdict was that the deceased came to his death by knife wound inflicted by Hazell Bowers. The following account appeared in the Lancaster News of Tuesday morn-^ :ng: H. B. Bowers, of the Buffalo section near Kershaw met death Saturday night from what is now believe! have been knife wounds inflicted "nv his nephew, Hazel Bowers. It \ui> believed at first that he died from injuries received wher\ a truck turned over as the wounded man was being taken to Kershaw for treatment. According to reports the deceased is alleged to have made an attempt to strike his nephew, Hazel Bowers, with a gun and the latter drew his knife to defend himself. The deceased received two severe cuts, one about the face and the other on the arm. Death is believed to "have been due to the severing of an artery in the arm. When the wounded man was being taken to Kershaw it is said that little attention was taken to the knife wound in the arm as it was believed that the large amount of blood that was shed was due to the cut on the face. As Bowers was being taken to Kershaw by his companions who had been with him on a hunting party the tnn k met with an accident and turned over. No one was seriously hurt but as Bowers was dead who.i the truck .reached Kershaw it was erroneously reported that he died as the results of the motor accident. Deceased was very well known in the Buffalo section of the county. He was formerly a traveling salesman but had been living on the farm recently. Deceased has several relatives in Lancaster county who attended the funeral services at Kershaw on Sunday.
