THE PROLIX ER8
Kvon a small newspaper office receives
enough canned loiters every
week or two to monopolize most of
the space. In at least one respect.
It Is noticeable that brevity seems almost
an unknown virtue. Many that

be restricted to a half column The
admonition of many is. "Please publish
" If compiled with, In many cases,
not a dozen readers would peruse
them The time and the money spent
in netting up. and sending out the
literature, must be enormous.
An uccoinpanlng check Is practically
unknown.
This habit has grown to such proportions
that It takes time, as It does
with a radio, to sift the chafT from

Another Flower For The Cops
The world would soon be bogging
again, up to the chin in savagery
without the cops. That was a brutal
-butchery of an Episcopal Rector
on St Sitnond's Island near Bruits-.
. u iv.k, Georgia. It was a cowardly!
night shooting from ambush. It took;
mrte month** to out, what ap ,
pears to he a certainty, as to the!
identity of da.-tardly murderers. The.
result was. about as expected. Tiiej.
. villein e goes to show that I wo white j
madhouse moral perverts hired twoi
in groes to do their dirty work ID

all should be promptly railroaded toi

;.,u:td up the crooks, hut the cops j
iie\.*r sleep They deserve far more
praise and money than they usually
gat The press reports tell us that the
whites deny their part in the crime.
Did anybody expect them to be fools,
enough to admit their share in the
nasty butchery? Again. we shout:
"Bully for the cops "?Calhoun Times
A letter "to the drunken driver,"

Material May Be
Hauled On Wateree
Major Heading Wtikinson, United j
Stales district engineer at Charleston,.
has advised Major Oonoral J. L Schley,
chief of the engineers of the War
Department of the possibility of using j
the Wateree, Cougareo and Santeej
rivers for tiro transportation of mate-1
rial for use in tiie construction of the,
Han tee-Cooper project.
Major General 8chloy has ordered
the engineers to make a study ot the
rivers in question to determine if the
estimated saving cost'in transportation
of materials by water is sufficient
to Justify tiie dealing of the
three rivers.
"Should the estimates indicate a
substantial saving," said Major General
Schley, "tiie department will give
careful consideration to an allotment
of funds for the work.
Under the existing project by the
Rivers and Harbors act tho War Department
is authorized to clear the
Wateree river to provide a safe and
unobstructed four foot navigable channel
from the mouth to Camdeu. a
distance of sixty-seven miles. The
last expenditure for tho project was
in 1916.
It was pointed out here this week
that if the study of the three rivers
by tho engineering department results
in a favorable report and recommendation
for tho clearing of same, that
it will not only mean a renewal of
freight transportation on tho river,
but that wealthy people who delight
In motor gitaw llnobl aJNT
in motor boating will seize upon the
opportunity to procure light draught
craft and make boating an interesting
adjunct to the resort program here
and at other points.

Angry Flames Raze
Bryant Building
The office and show rooms of the
Bryant Fuel Company, located on IH>Kalb
street, near the city gates, wua
gutted by flauiea early Wednesday
morning
The fire la believed to have been
atarted by gome one who broke into
the building, atarted a tire in the
circulating heater?con la from which
dropped to the floor and Ignited aome
burlap aucka that had been apread
out on the floor to make a bed. | ~
The fire In the heater was out when '
Fred Bryant vialted the office at 11 j
o'clock Tuesday night, but when the
firemen broke In the building they
reported the stove and chimney was
red hot, and the fire wua raging over
the interior of the building.
The loss to the buildings and contents,
according to Mr. Bryant, will 0
total over $f>,000 and it is partially
covered by Insurance. The show;
room housed many new models of
electric refrigerators, lronera, stoves, ^
stokers and the like. The office records,
kept in a desk, were burned
when the Humes destroyed the desk.
The lire was reported by an alarm
sent in from a fire box at Campbell
and DoKalb streets. When the fire
department reached that corner, they I ?
could not locate any fire?tho Bryant
building being over a block away, and
the person pulling the hook at the
alarm box had disappeared. The Are
hud not broken out ut the time and
the smoke was not discernable in
tho darkness. A few minutes later
and when the department was pulling
into the fire headquarters, Police Officer
Laney, who had made an investigation
In the neighborhood of the
cull box, sent in another alarm.
Tho interior of the building was a
furnace when the firemen broke
down the doors and it was impossi-'
ble to effect any saving of tho struc-,
ture Which was virtually gutted.!
There will be some salvage on the: .
stock, it is said. }
Tho alarm went in at 3 o'clock and
six men from headquarters responded
and were soon joined by four others.
The firemen state that had the
person who sent in the alarm remained
to show them the way, there
would probably have been but very
little loss. i
