Langston, councilman from the fifth ward, and who drew the assignment as chairman of the police commit tee, is doing a fine job by stream lining his police force and forcing motoristB to comply with the traffic regulations. Al ready over one hundred drivers who have disregarded traffic lights, parked in no-parking areas, driven recklessly or at a higher speed than what is allowable, or in some <^her fanner violated the regulations, have paid their fines into the city treasury. The law enforcement officers are now walking beats, the mounted traffic officers are hot on the tail of traffic violators, and the motoring public is awakening to the fact that the good old days when they could roll over the pavements at a mile a minute, tear through red lights, park dn forbidden zones, •etc., are gone fbreVer—we hope. Naturally, there have been squawks, which was to be ex pected, but all in all, the intelligent nootorists are extending felicitations to the Police Commissioner for a fine job being done and exprei^ng the fervent 'hope that the good work will continue. • > LEGITIMATE DISTRIBUTORS HANDICAPPED While Congress discusses the future of OPA, black mar kets spread. If they continue to spread, the legitimate retail distribution industry cannot be expected to operate success fully. -The threat k serious ehough to have a bearing on re newing the Emergency Price Control Act. No law should be allowed to work against retail distribution. The Neiw York Times cites an instance of the black mar ket problem—^beef. Says the Times: “With about 76 percent of the nation’s beef at retail levels having passed to the con trol of black marketers, the time is at hand when definite steps should be taken to restore that essential product to legit imate channels of trade if one of the world’s finest food dis tributing S3rstems is not to be damaged irreparably.’’ If k is to be a choke between saving the OPA and saving the distribution system, there is no alternative. The county can live without the OPA; it cannot hve without orderly dis tribution. PULPWOOD GOES TO COLLEGE THE CIRCUS IS NOW ON V The South Carolina Democratk circus opened its tour of the state last week, playing engagements in Winnsboro and Camden. The show is, if possible, even duller than usual and attendance is expected to hit a new low. ' As every election year approaches we hear much talk of abolishing the time-honored county-to-county tour of the Dem ocratic candidates. Practkally everybody agrees that the tour has long ago outlived its usefulness. In most places there are Jmoce candidates than^bhere^are memberajof the audience. And yet, when the state convention meets, it always decides to have the usual tour. Why, no one knows. A tremendous amount of expense and nerve strain would be eliminated if this antdquated tour were abolished. The candidates could carry their pleas to the voters in a much more effective and more economkal way via Ihe radio and the newspapers. Nbw, they are forced to make the burden some tour in the heat of midsummer at heavy expense, and al so spend a great deal of money in radio time and newspaper advertising, if they expect to have a fair chance of nomination This year, w|th eleven candidates for Governor, and the usual quota of other office seekers, each meeting will requ^ around three and a half hours. It is aafu to predkt that at most of these meetings there will be tSd one ^present to hear the last few candidates. Human flesh can staWl just so much and there are few persons strong enough to stand up under three and a half hours of the type of hot air we are certain to get from this group of politicians. , It is, of course, too late to do anything about it this year, but the sensible Democrats should begin to ^ve the matter some serious .thought and plan to end for all ^e this ridicul ous political circus.—Sumter Item. “MME IT A MILLIOII!’’ ENLIST IN a GRADE WITH b YOUR ARMY MOS A GOOD lOH fOfi YOU U.

This is not an unusual role for pulpwood. Known as the one crop that can always be depended upon, it fits well into the farmer’s plans to provide hk children with the finer ad vantages of life. Such plans cannot be built on uncertainty, and no one knows this better than the farmmr who can never (^uite be certain about such things as the weather, soil condi tions and the maiicet. Thus, it is quite natural for the fanner to insure a college fund 'for his children by turning to the one crop that never fails. For he knows that pulpwood will help guarantee his children’s future.
