Commercial engineers must study each area today, predict what its increase or decline in population will be several years in the future, and then estimate accurately how much telephone plant will be needed to serve the community. ?

C., 5>ollcomen, j John Urlgg and 1)111 Smith, have been | ?iiupended from the force pending an investigation made by them of brutality In the handling of negro prisoners when there was no excuse for such brutality. Dependable witnesses saw the uncalled for attacks on the negro prisoners, the officers hitting them with blackjacks and kicking them. The Labor day week end crowd at Atlantic City, N. J., visitors numbered more thun a million, and in consequence thousands were forced to sleep in their curs In the streets and In the highways leading to the resort. Standing room was at a premium at times on the famous boardwalk. Just another evidence that the depression is passing.

A negro 23 yearn old wan found dead at 2 o'clock in the morning, crunhed between a cotton bale and the follow block^of a 1 intern press at an oil company plant.- The follow block rises nix feet In three minutea, and why the boy did not get oft ii, when It started to go agalnnt the bule, Ih the mys?ry. The coroner's Jury could not give the answer, and the only explanation seems to be that the negro fell asleep, on Hie instant he got on the block, to adjust the bule covering. George Perry, a Columbia messenger boy 14 years old, Jumped from his bicycle upon a fleeing bad man who had a pistol and a rifle, and held him, until u barnstorming aviator took the weapons from the bandit. The latter was Herbert Moorman, with headquarters at Toledo, Ohio with a long rocord of holdups in Missouri, and a fugitive from the Michigan penitentiary, where he has 13 years yet to serve. The chase after him In Columbia followed his covering a dentist, Dr. E. C. Draffln, with a pistol in the office, taking his watch and $f>8, and leaving the dentist gagged and bound In n rear room. Tony Cugluu, a notorious Philadelphia criminal and gunman, credited with having murdered not less than nine persons, arrested in New York, where he was also wanted for murder, committed suicide by hanging himself to a washstand in his cell in a New "Wirk jail, early Monday morning. 1 hough a killer of the worst type, he was a coward. He didn't have the courage to face trial and the electric chair, and besides that lie was afraid of being shot to death by some of his enemies whom ho had "double erossed" whenever he believed it to be to his interest to do so. solicitor J . G. Leatherwood, of Greenville, announces that he will not be a candidate for reelection next year. He will have served 12 years continually, when he retires then. He has prosecuted probably more dramatic (uses In court than any other prosecutor in the state. Since he took office, court annals of Greenville county have been fraught with sensational cases that drew attention from wide areas. Among them the Willis murder case, the Pridtuode murder cawe. and over a dozen cases against county officers for various crimes, in Greenville county. He has prosecuted UOU homicide cuses in Greenville county, and 400 in Pickens county, a thousand in all. He has been revi rsod only twice by the supreme court. Edwin Terry was shot and killed by his father-in-law, C. ('. Punish, near the hitter's home, near Saluda. The two families were picking cotton, and after a fuss. Parrish si ruck his wife, ami Terry interferred and told J "P.4 "riFtr " TTffT hr.nt un t-rrvy rish. Then Parrish went to the house and got a shotgun, and tt... others thought he would shoot h-is wife, whom Terry placed behind him. as the gun was tired, the charg. hitting neither of t hem. Then Terry turned his hack on Parrish, who .-.hot Terry mi the back, killing him instantly. Mrs. Parrish was then pursu- d by her husband, while he tried to reload the gun. but she persuaded hint not to shoot her. Parrish was Jailed by the verdict of the inquest. Representative J. i). Witherspoon. of 1.aureus county, read his followSolons a somewhat severe, and many will think, deserved. Lecture last week when he wrote an article for the papers in which he charged that while tin- legislature was in session 131 (lavs at its recent sitting, it was actually in session only 231 hours and sixteen minutes, not quite twenty-nine eight-hour working days. Mr. Witherspoon concludes as follows: "The main trouble with the Legislature is that it loafs on the job. An analysis of the record will prove that instead of buckling down to work the legislaj tare tiddle.f and fooled awuv its time I and held sessions for such brief perj iods that they were farcical."

The shaving mug, in its - happier times, was a thing of individual taste, running somewhat to sentiment. When father got one for Christmas the idea was to have "Father" inscribed on it in gold letters. Or if simple manliness was preferred. "James A. Smith/' in forthright fashion. One's favorite barber stored them on racks in the shop and the minute the proper mug owner appeared "Ed" had his mug out in a trice, ready for action. It was a mark of class to be so outfitted, soap, brush and all. But a more careless day dawned. The barber set up a newfangled way of spreading soap already prepared in a most hygienic way, with the fingers, and Individual cups languished. Shaving, too, was done more by the individual?at home. For bin! were prepared the soap that comeB from a tube requiring no brush, even. it seemed aB though the doom of the shaving mug had struck. But when one hears that 8,000 of them have been found In New York in five hours the necessary pause Is taken in thought. Oviously, views on their non-persistence must be revised. The American Legion officials at Indianapolis, Ind., declare that during the year ending July 31, the legion spent $1,027,734.44 in direct financial aid to 256,549 children of war veterans.
