^Why So Much Publicity?
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" *

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

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.
