In former years it was a habit of
* the courts to frequently impose the
death sentence upon those committing
murder. The practice has almost
gone out of style with modern
changes. But we are persuaded, so
long as the penalty prescribed for
murder is death, that it would., be
a good custom to .revive. Somehow,
the idea has become rather popular
that a service on the chain gang is
more profitable to the state and county
than a death sentence. But the
state is up against the problem now of
murders every day. Even the younger
generation can remember when
a homicide among whites or blacks,
was something to be talked about
for weeks, perhaps. Now it creates
little comment and no excitement at
all. They have become entirely too
common. Bamberg county may not
speak of homicides in the state in a
general or impersonal manner. She
has her full share of them.
m i m 1 ?
The legislature has taken up a
great deal of time this session discussing,
without, so far, getting anywhere,
the stock law. We are thankful
that Bamberg county does not
"enjoy" the privileges of the free s
range, and we cannot see any good
reason why the legislature should ac
cord much time to the matter at all.
*
The writer has never lived in recent^
years in an}* community that allowed
stock to run at large, therefore
freely admits his inability to properly
estimate the sentiments of free
range advocates. On a general principle,
however, regardless of the advantages
attached to such a system,
if advantages there are, we cannot i
understand the justice of allowing
one man's stock to run on another's
land and eat his grass?and the crops
thrown in. We don't helieve that
such a proposition of disregard of the
property of another is constituional,
anyway, and if it is constitutional,
the constitution ought to he
changed. The idea of requiring any <
farm owner to fence his farm to prevent
other people's stock from eating
his crops is ludicrous on the face
of it. Whw should John Doe have
to spend hundreds of dollars in order
to keep Richard Roe's cows from eating
his crops as fast as he plants
them? Even though a majority of
people in another county desire the
free range, why should the taxpayers
of Bamberg county be forcpd to
contribute to the support of sucli a
lop-sided proposition? It may be argued
that Bamberg county has noTi:ng
to do with it, and that u does
not affect us. It does. Statistics
show that the cattle tick has been I
eradicated except in counties allowing
the free range, and that it is almost
an impossible task to rid the
pests in such communities. The
state has paid and is paying large
sums of money to rid the entire state
of this enemy of the livestock industry,
and Bamberg has to pay its pros
rata share, although the county has
been free of ticks for several years.
Thanks to the free range, there are
cHii etipfcs in tho state. If certain
counties persist .in retaining the free
range, a privilege which we do not
believe they are entitled to, then in
justice to the other counties that do
not want it and will not have it, we
say let them fight their own ticks.
They are not entitled to state protection.
What it Means.
Sunday morning, Brother Brown,
an old colored preacher, used the
word "phenomenon" in his sermon.
After the services were over one
of the congregation approached him
and said:
- "Brother Brown, what dat word,
phenomenon, you was a-talkin' about
disomurnin,' mean?"
Brother Brown was a little puzzled
himself as to Webster's exact
definition, so he resorted to examples.
"Well," he said, "you see, my bruther,
if you see a cow, dat ain't no i
i-f n c-QQ Q tVlictlfi I
^ il C11U 111 C UU11 , Ai. ^ U U O ^ u. buiubiv) I
dat ain't no phenomenon; if you seel
a bird, dat ain't no phenomenon. But
if you see a cow sitting on a thistle,
singin' like a bird, dat am a phenomenon!"

of horny handed sons of toil who are 1

"I do," replied the traveling salesman.
"And for my part, I'm glad to
see them."
"Why, so?"

ATTORNEY SHOOTS SELF.
Bullet Passes Entirely Through Body
and Wound May be Fatal.
Greer, Feb. 20.?A. H. Miller, a
prominent attorney of this place, shot
himself fatally this afternoon at 1
o'clock at his home here. The bullet
entered the breast just above the
heart, piercing the left lung. The
bullet passed clear through the body,
went through the window of the room
and lodged in tne wan or tne nouse
next door to the Miller home. Immediately
after the shooting, Mr. Miller
was rushed to the sanatorium at
Chick Springs, but recovery is doubtful.
He is 42 years years old and
is closely identified with the business
and political life of the section, and
was a candidate for congress in 1915.
Ill health is supposed to have been
the cause of the tragedy. Mr. Miller
was alone in his room, sitting on the
bed, while Mrs. Miller was in an adjoining
room. He has several children.
A .32 calibre pistol was used.

The death of Andrew L. Drummond,
76, former chief of the United
States secret service, noted for his
investigation of the original Ku Klux
Klan was announced in New York
ondMav. He died at his home .in

southern secret org?'11'nation. He was

A Good Judge.
An orator was holding an impromptu
revival meeting in a public square.
It happened that a couple of dogs
joined the crowd.
Believing in the potency of illustrations,
he stopped and pointed to the
dogs. Turning to an intelligent looking
youth in the front of the crowd,
he asked:
"What would you do, my boy, if
those two animals were to start fighting?
Tell me."
The youth gazed at the t"wo dogs
with a critical eye. Then he replied:
"I'd put a buck or two on that black
one!" >
Some Wind.
A' stranger in New Mexico became
very much excited and alarmed at
the continued high wind, which carried
tons of sand through the air during
the day. He remarked to an old
resident that it seemed to be an awful
windstorm. The old resident replied:
"Windstorm? This ain't no windstorm.
Why stranger, last week the
wind was blowing. You've seen
ground squirrels? Well, I saw one
of them thirty feet in the air?digging
a ho'le in the sand."
Got the Short One.
The time had come to dole out the
day's rations and in an Irish regiment
the quartermaster and his assistants
wer portioning thein out in preparation
for distribution.
At last, just before the orderly
men were due to arrive, the assistant
turned to the quartermaster.
With a twinkle in his eye, Mike
said:
"Av ye plaze, sor, there's a loaf
short. Who'll I give it to?"
"Keep it yourself, Mike," replied
the quartermaster.
Redeeming TraiL
"I know I'm old, but I'm crazy,
about you," stated Mr. Moneybags.
"When I go I'll leave all my fortune
to you if you'll have me."
"Have you any bad habits?" asked
Miss Goldilocks thoughtfully.
"Only that I walk in my sleep, if
you could call that a bad habit."
"You dear old thing. Of course
I'll marry you. And we'll have our
honeymoon on the top floor of some
tall building, won't we?"?American
Legion Weekly.
French authorities have hit upon a
unique plan in sending invitations to
Germans such as high officials, clergymen,
mayors and members of parliament,
to convince them of Germany's
moral duty to make good the devastation
caused by the war.
