Highway Patrolmen.
South Carolina's highway patrolmen
ure important ufftcials, Dressed
in their impressive black uniform#
and parading the highways in groups
of six, thoy have all the romantic
glamour of dispatch bearers frons
G. 11. Q. As belits important men,
they stop at line hotels. You can't
blame them for it. Think hoW inappropriate
it would be for agents of
the $06,000,000 Highwuy Commission
to hole up in a cheap John boarding
house. Hut what does the hookwormy
taxpayer think about It as he
fills up his pellugra diet of corn meal,
sow belly urwl sorghum molasses and
retires in sweaty underwear to his
corn-shuck mattress? The putrolmen
work in the daytime, and their chief
duty ut present is to stop citizens going
about their affairs and > try to
^ catch one who hasn't u 50-cent dri- |
ver's license. It's a lot of fun to catch
one short and make him pay u fine. J
Hut apparently it isn't fun to-enforce |
reasonable laws at night, for tiie
highways are lousy with farm vehicles
running without lights and decrepit
old Fords minus tail lights and
blind in one eye. Alt, well; lot the old
State keep her record unbroken: If
she must do something sensible, let
her do it in a stupid way. Otherwise
some >tranger might get the impression
that she isn't Simple. Fountain
Inn Tribune.
A Warning
I'ue to the large amount of leaves
''ailing at this time of year, house
owners arc warned to clean leaves
from roof tops especially around
chimneys and in crevices where a
spark would be. apt to fall and cause
fire.
Hogs
Hogs offer the best prospects for
1 it'll of anything we produce in Kershaw
cotinty. I)o not pass this up
as "reading matter." Let me say it
again?-"Hogs offer the BEST prospect
for 11KJ1 of anything we produce
in Kershaw County!!" If you
have corn I strongly advise raising
hogs. Got from us Extension Bulletin
No. 80, "Hogs for South Carolina.
" We will 'bo glad to help in
every way possible, says Henry D.
Green, the county agent.
I)o You Know?
At about the Kershaw county line
the name of the Oataw'ba river is
changed to Wateree. This is the only
instance we know of where a river
on its way to the ocean changes its
name cn route. The reason for this
change of name is not known by us
and we are wondering if some of our
reader* call enlighten us on the Mlb- I
Jet. ?Lancaster News.
