To every newspaper office each week comes a great number of letter moat of which contain advertialug matter or propaganda for nome ^ cauae. Ju?t how much of this free publicity gets into the news columns I is hard to estimate but if the aver- 1 uge new?paj>er does not print any more of this stuff than the I^ncas- i ter News then such publicity cam- I paignu are flat failures. Ah u matter of fact the great majority of pub- 1 licity sent to every newspaper of- < fice goes >nto th<* wa*u* P'llPer ,,HS" * ket and wi>y various organ izatiorjs i should flood the mails with all this material is a mystery.?Iarneaster c News. 1 Will Not lb> in Race ( Mr. R.

( Death of I. Robert Magill Following a long illness .1, Robert N Magill, of the Reaver Creek section ( of Kershaw county, passed away at his home Sunday night alxiut ten o'-M clock, and was buried in the eeine-I ? tery at Bethel Presbyterian church , Monday afternoon, following funeral j services conducted from the church by Rov. T. M. Stevenson, pastor of the Church of which Mr. Magill was ' a member. < James Robert Magill, son of the L late James Robert and Mrs. Rebecca Jane Magill, was born in Lancaster 1 county December 15, 1853, and was in his seventy-floventh year. He was ( married October 8, 187U, to Miss j Mary Brown Miller, who, with the following children survives him: Mrs. S. H. Kirkland, Camden; Mrs. Frank 1 Hinnant, Ridgeway; Mrs. Leon Black-I mon, Kershaw; Mrs. Daisy Carroll, I High Point, N. C.; Mrs. Edwin Stultz, Rock Hill; Miss Dell Magill, Kershaw; James Boyd Magill, Charlotte; I Arthur R. Magill, Tampa, Fla.; and Robert Miller Magill, Kershaw. He is also survived by thirteen grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Rebec- I ca Jones, of Kershaw; and Mrs. Wil-1 lie Jones, of Richland county. Mr. Magill was engaged in farm- I ing all of his life and was a useful citizen in his community. For many years he served as. ruling elder and Sunday school superintendent of his church, and was for many years also 1 a trustee of the Three C's school district. He was highly esteemed by his neighbors and friends. all of 1 whom sympathize deeply with the surviving relatives in their bereave-1 ment.?Kershaw Era. The Camden Garden Club j At the instigation of some of its I members, the Camden Chapter of I Winthrop Daughters decided a few I weeks ago to sponsor the organization of a garden club in Camden. I With home beautification as its chief I objective, a club of thirty enthusias- J tic women has been formed and it I is now busy planning and outlining I the first year's work. The officers I elected for this first year are: Mrs.j W. J. Dunn, president; Miss Lei^a I Shannon, vice-president; Mrs. R. B.J Pitts, recording secretary; Mrs. D. S. | Murchison, corresponding secretary; I Mrs. Willis Oantey, treasurer. ' | This club, so its members hope, j will meet one of Camden's long felt 1 needs, in that it will strive to arouse I interest in better home gardens and more beauty spots in Camden. It is J planning to conduct plant exchanges, put on flower shows and undertake I civic improvement projects from time to time. It makes its bow to Camden and the community asking that the citizens cooperate in making n success of the first plant exchange, which will soon be held, and that they give some time and thought to the . growing of flowers which they can enter in the fall flower show. Seventy-eight children, 16 of them bedridden, were oarried or led from a burning hospital at Irvington, N. Y., Saturday. An employee was burned to death. Roar Admiral Richard E.

The MissisM^fH house of representatives has voted for impeachment proceedings against Lester C. Franklin, chairman if the state tax commission. He is charged with "gross misconduct, high crimes and misdemeanors of office." v 'sr HcorrM The legislature The action of the House of Representatives recently token whereby they increased their pay from four hundred dollars per session to nix hundred dollar# per session ha# awakened the anger of all those who elected the members. The pre## of the state ha# generally condemned it. It is nothing .short of stealing but we munt call it here "legislative stealing." That is what it is. These members ran for the office well knowing that the law provided >nly four hundred dollars for their nay. On that basis they made a contract with the people. If the pay was not sufficient then they knew it was not sufficient before they asked he people to vote for them. In the campaign these little felows who can talk big on the stump ursed out the modern plan of quaiulering the public funds. They indertook to reduce taxes. They ihowed various ways whereby they ould save the people a lot of mony. <> Now what have they done when hey are elected and filling tin- oficc wherein they had promised so nuch? They have used the power >f their office to increase their <>wn wealth and they have done it in face >f the agreement that they made with he people. The Herald looks upon it the same is it looks on any other sort of dealing and the using of power when lower has been given for taking that vhieh does not belong to the taker. It ought to he against the law for his to happen. Each member who oted for the increase ought to be akon up and tried for misfeasance n office, il not breach of trust, in niciple that is what it is and nothng else. The session may extend to much onger lengths than formerly hut if t does, the blame still belongs to he members. They have not used ill of their time,. They have not worked four days out of six workng days of each week. They have worked only parts of four days. Phye knock off on Friday often at an arly hour in the working time of that day. They spend a part of Friday on the road going home. They spend Monday and 41 part of Tuesday. Most of Tuesday may be spent on the mad. They have conducted no night session in order to push matters along and get the work done. By reason of their laziness and their habits of attending entertainments and functions especially provided for their pleasure, they have let the time slip by in idleness while they have used the remainder of it in wrangling and useless bickering over nothing, and thereby the session has been stretched out to more than its usual length. ^ el they are small enough to vote a fifty per cent increase in their pay for work that they have not done. It is an ugly*-thing. Let the people know it.?-Horry Herald. TKN ROAD COMMANDMENTS Made In North Carolina, But Fit Kershaw County Perfectly Ten commandments for motorists are published by the Spartanburg Herald, as coming from a North Carolina rural policeman, who tries to observe them himself and make thiy men under him do the same. The rules seem to be very sensible ones and we pass them on to you for whatever they are worth: I. Drive to the right side of the road; it's just as good as the vteft. n. Slow down when approaching a cross road; it is nearly as d&QggroGs as a railroad crossing. HI. Ix>ok out for childreti.'* You can nevor tell what they will do, and you are always in the wrong if you hit one. IV. Try to help instead of hinder the traffic officer; he is there for your pood, and he's pot a tough job. V. He sure your "dimmers" really dim; it's no joke dri\ing into a blindit g glare, as you probably know. VI Read and obey the warning sign*; they are not put tip as ornaments. VII. If you feel you've got to >peed?do it where it won't kill anybody but yourself. VIII. When making minor repairs stop where your car may be seen trom both directions; otherwise you tuay stop longer than you anticipate. IX. Speeding around corners is a straight route to the hopsital. Don't i race past a street car. Seme day the jury will call it manslaughter. X. Use discretion. The fact that you have the right-of-way won't bring anybody back to life, least of all yourself. Tom Bratton, Chester county negro, is in jail at Chester, charged with arson, it being alleged that he had a row with his wife and fired the house in which she was sleeping.
