The stolon automobile of a Kansas
< it\ doctor, for which a reward of
$35 was offered for Hv* recovery, was
* located by a deputy sheriff in Johnson
county, Kansas, \Vh.Q returned it
(o it owner, but declined to accept
the $25 reward giving as his reason
thai he had only done his duty for
which the taxpayers of his county
wore already recompensing him, according
to a news story in the Kansas
City Star. 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.

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
