This is a rather unique and unusual attitude foi; a public officer pr official to take with respect to rewards or perquisites or "trimmings" that can he accepted within the letter of the law. Another unusual' incident of the news, story is that the doctor offering the reward left it with tho county officials with instructions that it be spent to buy shoes for tho needy children of that county/?Spartanburg Journal. A band of robed and maskedmen shot to death George Green, a middle aged negro, at his home near Greenville. They first demanded that the negro come out and when he refused and threatened to hit with an ax tho first man to enter, the mob pounded boards off the door and shot him through the hole thus made. Citizens in the vicinity were very indignant at the killing, and the sheriff's office started a big hunt for the members of the party \yho were white. A negro man and'wolnan were whipped at Greer two hours before tho shooting of George Green. "America Goes Socialistic^ "The prevailing chaotic state of affairs prompts the question "Whither Arc We Headed?" This volume repi c.-ents an attempt to answer that question by interpreting outlaws and pointing out their social significance. Although the Socialist party commands scant recognition as a political factor, the conclusion that -America is steadily going socialistic seems unmistakable to the author, a member of the South Carolina bar." The above is what the publishers "Dorranee," of Philadelphia, think of a recent book they have gotten out written by Henry Savage. Jr., of this city on "America (Joes Socialistic." Tho book is now on sale, full cloth.$1.75, postpaid for $1.85. The official count of Orangeburg county shows that it went dry by five majority, 7P5 to 7!H), . while the unofficial election night count had it wet by two majority. The official count of Charleston county found a couple of dozen more dry votes cast and makes that county go wet S..'!l?0 to 105, over 20 to one, which is some kind of a record. I Hanks of North and South Caro-j Jina will distribute approximately $'JT712.000 during the next two weeks in1 the form of Christmas Savings club cheeks! Fifteen Greenville liit'-men adopted a stray little dog, and when they found he could not close his mouth, they all tried to reach in and pull.a hone out of his throat. Then it was di scovered that the dog had rabies,! and all the firemen at that station are taking Pasteur treatment now. Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, Nov. 2L- The main purport of this column is indicated by the heading, but to digress ??mewhat, brief observations are made concerning a creditable publication, necessarily limited in size, entitled "History of Kersh.aw Lodge, No. 21t." l'? was compiled and edited by Mr. .las, H, Wallace, a life member of the lodge, and while intended, primarily for those connected with the masonic j fraternity, there is much of interest to the public geneially in Camden and throughout the vicinity. Many notable occurrences are described, one-in {particular being the laying in 1825 j by (Ion. Lafayette of the corner stone i of the monument erected to the memory of Baron DoKalb, in front of the j Presbyterian church. There are also ' brief but interesting biographical sketches of prominent citizens connected with the masonic fraternity, from a period covering the early days of the lodge up to the present, , * While not affecting the national situation, as the necessary steps have been recorded requiring the elimination of the eighteenth amendment from the- constitution of the United States, still the vote of South Carolina against repeal will doubtless have considerable bearing during the next session of the legislature, most likely tending to prevent any decided wet legislation. A prediction is that the situation will be allowed to remain as it will be after national prohibition is abolished early in December, with some modifications, such af the sale of beer of a higher alcoholic content than 3.2 per cent, as now legal. The sale of wine may possibly be made legal, as under the state law which will again become effective, the importation for general eonsumptior is prohibited. The "quar.t-a-month' liquor feature is not likely to be abol ished. Under its provision any mar in the state over twenty-one years of ,uge and any woman that old. who b the head <>f a family, may procure a quart of whiskey each month foi medicinal .purposes,, application foi permission to order to l>o made tc tin- judge of probate. * * Right after his inauguration President Roosevelt called an extra session of the seventy-third Congress, which lasted until down in the Summer. and the first regularly scheduled i meeting will take place on Jpnuaiy j third. This date, instead of the first (Monday-in -December, is fixed under I tire terms of the twentieth, known as | the "lame du.-k" amendment to the (constitution, recently adopted. Rumblings are heard in both Democratic and Republican quarters that the bi ! partisan support so gem-rally accordled the president during the special session can not be expected to last. 1 A point has been reached where ilu : Republicans must put up some kind I of a fight unless they are to cease I functioning as an opposition, and I many Democrats are disgruntled .beI cause patronage lues been dispensed so slowly. On both sides there ,is disappoint merit because recovery has not progressed as rapidly as had been hoped for. However, administration leaders contend that the president continues to enjoy the confidence of the country and that in the event of a show-down he could defy a recalcitrant Congress. There is little prospect that such a situation will arise. * * * * Steps have been taken for tho^ establishment of diplomatic relations between this country and communistic Russia, with general approval being voiced, but with discordant notes here anil there. The action taken implies no condoning of the present form of government of Russia, hut to withhold recognition would have been t" ignore the obvious fact of a a bit- government there, which has i-or.tinu?-ti tor sixteen veai>.

The state is threatening to- sell Courthouses, jails and county homes for unpaid taxes. A number of cities and counties of the state bought gasoline at wholesale and did not pay the state tax, and this is what the state is now trying to collect. Mrs. J. G, Htavley, who was alone in the stalled truck which was hit by William K. Vanderbilt HI, resulting in the death of the young head of his generation of that family, says that she and her husband will sell the truck and go, into- some other business, as a result of her very nervous condition since the accident near ' Uidgeland last week. In the supreme court hearing on the application of -Senator \V.. H. , Nicholson, of Greenwood, to be reini stated as an attorney, after he had resigned in the face of charges of misuse of funds, seven of his former [ clients made affidavits about their i experiences with him, and their losses through him.

While Harr^ F. Sinclair, big oil operator, was before the senate stock market investigating committee, he saui that- their inquiry was a "joke." His reference was to the testimony .of another witness, so he said. He Hushed when Senator Couzens remarked. "A lot of people thought the 'teapot home investigation u;T* a joke too." Sinclair -served a time in a Washington jail in 1020 for contempt of the Teapot Dome oil investigation.! Senator Thomas I). Schall. Repub- ' lican. was boood by an audience of ' the University of Minnesota at Min- J i nenpolis, Minn., when he gave an address in which he attacked the na| t ional recovery program. The booing icame to the senator for his criticism | of Franklin Roosevelt in ta king I about war dybts, which be said- the president was cancelling. Mrs. K. H. Connor, alleged uang- ( land spy. arrested in Memphis, lenn.. lis lighting against her return to Kansas City, Mo., where she faces an indictment on a charge of aiding in the union station massacre in which four policemen and a thug were killed, pleaded not guilty when arraigned before a United 'States commissioner and demanded a hearing before she should be removed to Kansas City, A special Massachusetts legislative committee has reported a liquor control bill providing for the sale of li- ' quors to be drunk, on the premises in. hotels, restaurants, clubs, tavernsrailroad dining ears and passenger vessels.
