How He Workedi It.
One day a visitor at a charity bazaar
noticed a man going along the
line of booths, buying nothing and
yet leaving a smiling face behind
him. Curious to learn how he did it,
the visitor strolled up just as the
man, after looking over some things
at the last booth, was about to pass
on. "Why don't you buy something
at my table?" the girl in the booth
demanded.
'"Because." the man said confidentially.
"I buy only from the homely
girls; they have a harder time making
sales."

MR KOHN REVIEWS
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
(Continued from page 1, column 2)
sue and are averse to delay. On that
account they suggested that an immediate
tax of $1 per horse power
with a special road tax of one or two
mills will get something immediately
done. In other words, they figure
that one mill will raise $380,000;
two mills will raise $760,000. With
a dollar per horse power license tax
on automobiles, supplemented by the
federal aid, it is figured that there
would be over $3,000,000 of funds
available annually without delay,
and if this method be continuea
there would be an expenditure of,
say, three millions, and this would
get what some argue quicker results
than to wait on a bond issue.
Of course, there is going to be a
great deal of contention as to what
work should ^e done. Some legislators
already openly and avowedly
say that they are not going to do
anything to help a bond issue unless
their counties get full share of the
new roads. It is argued that the
best thing to do is to have a scheme
that will connect up all the counties
and to provide for a north and south
and east and west artery through every
county as far as practicable, but
to give each cpunty a certain amount
of mileage and then later on connect
up these fraction^.
It is agreed by all that haphazard
construction and indifferent engineering
should be abandoned, and
that whatever system is to be developed
should be mapped out by a central
board, preferably the State
Highway Commission, and that then
these links- can be connected up. To
popularize the scheme a certain
amount of permanent work will have
to be done in every county, and
where this is along a well developed
plan, and a system that can be connected
up, it might be practical.
A8 to the Constitutional Convention
The indications now are that the
people will in 1920 be given an opportunity
of voting whether or not
they will want a constitutional cont
vention held. The senate, which has
heretofore been a stumbling block,
has voted in favor of submitting the
Question to the people. The resolution
in favor of submitting the issue
to the people has been passed by the
senate and is now under consideration
on the house side, where it has
heretofore always prevailed.
Liquor! It almost sounds like a
ghost reappearing in the legislative
halls. Generally there are a score or
more of measures undertaking to
solve this problem. This year there
has been no mention of "bone dry"
or anything else along that line. One
little bill has been presented undertaking
to change the quart-a-month
law to one gallon a month, but with
national prohibition fast approaching
the legislators evidently think
there are too many other axes to
grind to* even consider liquor as a
real question. There has been, however,
presented a double-barrel
measure which undertakes to prevent
the sale of tonics and other
concoctions on which real drunks
can be had. AUGUST KOHN.
One Use for Pajamas.
The narrow skirt?which you will
have to accept, whether you take the
short French or the long American
version of it?pleads for the use of
the bifurcated under garment. Hence
the present vogue for the elaborate
chiffon or georgette bloomers made
to wear with dance frocks and other
evening attire. 4
And, by the way, the pajamas of
chiffon and lace, and other fabrics
so dainty and delicate that they
would really be but poorly suited as
a substitute for the "robe de unit,"
are not mirequenuy usea as a combination
under garment to be worn
with the rather elaborate house
gown, or robe "chezelle," that
has of late been adopted as a substitute
for the evening gown when
one dines or passes the evening at
home with intimates.
Parmer and Indian Die.
Lumberton, N. C., Jan. 28.?A pistol
duel between John Culbreth, a
prominent white farmer, and Dallas
Swampson, an Indian, late today, resulted
in the death of both, each
falling mortally wounded at the
hands of the other, according to the
verdict of the coroner. According
to eye witnesses, a dispute arose between
the two over som^ cotton seed
and the Indian began firing, whereupon
Culbreth fired upon his assailant,
killing him, but not before he
had received a wound from which he
died within a short time. Culbreth
is survived by his wife and four children.

Fighting Thirtieth True to First

i The Thirtieth division, soon tc
come home from France bringing
many South Carolina soldiers, is the
! "Old Hickory" division in spite of a
; practice recently established of call!
ing it the "Wild Cat" division, said
to have finally reached the war department,
where it is unofficially listed
as both "Old Hickory" and "Wild
Cat."
The Eighty-first division while at
! Camp Jackson was officially named
| the "Stonewall" disvision and as its
j insigna on uniforms and equipi
ment was a wild cat it was known
! both as the "Stonewall" and "Wild
Cat" division. The Thirtieth was
officially designated the "Old Hick'
ory" division before it left Camp Se(vier
and retained the name to the
j last in France.
First hand testimony that the
I Thirtieth was and is the "Old HickI
ory" division and not the "Wild Cat'
I comes from Lieut. Col. Thomas B
| Spratt of the One Hundred and
I Eighteenth Infantry, formerly the
! First Regiment of the South Caroli!

I Writing from his home in Fori

State as to the statement that the
Thirtieth was known both as "Wile
