Old-Time Observance
Columbia. April 15.?Sunday in colonial
South Carolina was devoted to
! rest ami religion. A recent addition.
; to the South Carolina Collection of
j the University ot South Carolina liI
Urary is a copy of "The Practical Justice
of the Peace ami Parish-Officer
of South CJarolirva" by William Simpson,
published in 17<i 1. Among the
interesting statutes contained in this
volume are those governing observance
of the Lord's Day and swearing.
On Sunday church attendance was
compulsory, unless excused. No worldjiy
labor was allowed. There was a
; penalty on those who sold goods. No
j traveling was penmittXMi without a
license. No sports or pastimes were
allowed1; public houses could not entertain
any persons, except strangers
and lodgers. The church wardens
walked through the streets during
services to apprehend offenders. A
penalty was levied for making a servant
work on Sunday and the offenders
were prosecuted within ten days
after the offense was committed.
Those found guilty of swearing
were forbidden Holy Communion unit
il they were reformed. They had to
j pay a fine which went to the poor,
j If the offender were over 15 and <1 id
j not pay the fine, he had to go to the
| stocks; if the offender were under
: 15 and did not pay, he was whipped.
Rayfhond Hamilton, the outlaw,
cuts a sorry figure behind prison
walls down in Texas, awaiting the
execution that he escaped by breaking
prison to engage in further outlawry,
compared to the dashing figure
he presented as he led bank raids
and <shot down officers and civilians.
Behind strong walls, with a guard
that has been greatly strengthened,
Hamilton appears to realize that he's
a doomed man, and his nerve and
braggadocio are gone. He whimpers
that he's not ready to die, and has
sent his aged mother to the Governor
of Texas to sue for mercy. The notorious
outlaw now realizes, perhaps,
that a life of crime does not pay, and
let it be hoped that this realization
is accompanied by a feeling of penitence
that will lead him to ask for
.forgiveness at the only tribunal that
has the power to grant forgiveness
of spirit as well as to the body. However,
his offense against society has
been too aggravated for the Gover;
nor to think of commutation in any
I form, and we feel satisfied that at the
appointed time the once feared crim!
inal will be led forth to receive the
j death that he so richly deserves. Here
and there many be maudlin sympai
thy?there always is for even the
1 most hardened criminals?but the
time for Hamilton to have apked for
] another chance was before his penchant
for crime had led him so far
[astray that the only expiation at all
commensurate with his sin against
society is death.?Chester Reporter.

AN OLD, OLD STORY
Aged Row an Farmer Robbed by Two
Men Selling Spectacles.
A story oomipg* from Salisbury relate#
how two "optigyps" worked
their racket Monday afternoon on M.
Alex Kluttz, well known farmer of
Crold Hill township who lives* between
Orescent and Faith. They got $400
from him un<l all he received in return
was un alleged examination of
the eyes of himself and wife and a
cheap pair of spectacles.
Mr. Kluttz, who is 7K years old,
told Sheriff Krider al>out it this morning.
He sai<l two white men came tp
his home Monday afternoon driving
u "fine" car but he does not recall
the description of it. They represented
themselves to 1k? a "Dr. Gardner
of John Hopkins hospital" and a "Mr.
Miller of Charlotte."
At first they said they wanted to
buy some land for the father of the
"doctor." No land for sale, they then
out of. a full heart of professional
kindness, offered to examine the eyes
of Mr. and Mrs. Kluttz without any
cost to them whatsoever.
Mr. Kluttz, it was found, needed
glasses and negotiations were made
for a pair for $3. Some medicine was
dropj>ed in one of Mrs. Kluttz's eyes,
after which she could not see out of
it, it was re J >otnted. Sonne more eyedrops
were used and lo the miracle
men found that she had some kind of
a growth in her eye which they removed,
according to their statement.
The experts also said that it would be
necessary for her to go to Baltimore
for treatment and that it would cost
her $'J50?but the kind gentlemen
might be able U> get her by for $150,
so S. C. Kluttz, a son-in-law, told
Sheriff Krider.
Up to this junction Mr. Kluttz, who
has a reputation for thrift and careful
handling of money, did not susl>eot
the men. As the professional
services reached the final stages, however,
the two men sat down on either
side of him. He pulled out his pockotbook
to pay the $3 for the glasses.
In some manner the money was gotten
from him. It was not explained
clearly to the sheriff whether or not
I he. gave the money to the men be- *
cause he realized ho was j^oin^r to
ho hold up or whether they snatched j
it.
The son-in-law, S. (\ Kluttz, explained
that his father-in-law had
about $ lot) in the purse which had !,
been j?aid hint on n note by another |
son in-law, ltoy Basingor, who alsoij
lives in the neighborhood and Mr. j
Kluttz had not yet had time to put j,
the money in the bank. 1
The men wore described as both
being "fleshy," one weighing about
200 pounds nrvd the other around 170.
Both were dressed in dark clothes.
Or.c of the neighbors told son-inlaw
Kluttz that two men driving a
car came by her homo about 2:80 yesterday
afternoon ami asked, "Whore
does Alex Kluttz live?"
How the men chanced to know his
name ami apparently that he had
the money is a mystery that the sheriff
is puzzled over.
"About once a year somebody
comes through this section working
this kind of a racket," Sheriff K rider
said. "It is a mystery to me how
they get by with it in thus county
where we have such a level-headed,
economically-minded type of citizens.
Sometimes they donT of course?but
then again quite often they do, a-s
you see."
The sheriff is working on the case.

The IIuiuhit Machine
Human bodies a-re frequently referee*!
to as machines. In u certain
sense' they are machines, but they
possess i>rojH*rties not usually found
in machines fabricate*! froirt inanimate
materials.
In the first place, the human machine,
ami that 01 oumr aivimals as
well, has the peculiar faculty of repairing
and renewing itself if nature
is given a fair clip nee. In the second
place, these living machines can function
even though many of their parts
lire entirely missing.
Just how far they may go in this
respect is hardly appreciated by the
layman who has not given thought
to the subject. I>r. J. K. Ivrdnmn, of
New York, nvciilly gave some infer- |
mat ion along this line by enumerating
a few |of the parts which may
he spared without. destroying one's I
usefulness. He reminds us that one
"may go about Iiis work minus aj
leg, an arm, an eye, his tonsils, ap- I
pendix, gall bladder, one kidney, ]?urt
of his lungs and brain, and as much
us 1*2 feet of his intestines."
Recent developments in surgery
have made possible operations on the
heart, the entire removal of one lobe
of the lungs, and modifications of
other organs formerly thought indispensable
in their intact state.
In some cases science has been able
to fit us up with spare parts which
function almost well as the original
ones.

Great Demand
For New Cars
Detroit?The seasonal rush to buy
cars is getting "out of control," according
to rejKvrta fix>m automobile
factories. Due U> generally improvt*d
conditions, car buying has set. iiv
earlier than during fj the previous
years when the industry Wus Imttling
against the slump.
In spite of j>cak ojKirutions that
arc being expedited against steadily
mounting orders, -production- is rumniivg
far behind demand for new cars.
Firms producing pertain of the more
popular makes are holding meeting's
in various parts of the country in an
effort to "hold" retail dealers who
haw become rebellious1 over delays in
I delivery. Nearly every company ill
the Michigan area is from 2 to 3
weeks behind, ami pledges already
made covering allotments for April
and May are being revised downward.
Before there is any lot-up in the
activity the pace at which factories
will operate promises to approach, if
not equal, seasonal levels of 1921),
when the all-time "top" was recorded.
It will be May before any tapering
off will bo possible, according to
advance surveys.

comfort" for every passenger in the car is a basic part of
the Ford V-8 design. The long, soft transverse springs
mounted beyond the axles give the luxury of a 123 inch
springbase.
Seats are wider and more comfortable. There is plenty
of elbow room and leg room and a spacious luggage com*
partment is built in back of the rear seat. No need to pay
extra for the privilege of storing your bags out of the way.
