vistigate illegal executions; now the
committee is investigating almost
everything else. And none of it will
amount to anything is our prediction.
When the investigation is completed
I everything will be about as when
it started. No crimes are likely to

will still believe the crimes were committed
or not committed as they did
before.
"The people in the Piedmont section
of this state are still of the

Charleston the other day, "that the
boll weevil will never reach them."
He added that this applied not to all
the people but most probably to a
Kg1. majority of them. This gentleman
deplored the fact that the Piedmont
cannot produce such an abundance
of food crops as Bamberg and other
southern Carolina counties, and he
ventured the prediction that in the
next year or two the estate of the
> upper counties will be vastly worse
than it is now in this section.
There is getting to be too much legislative
control over the industries of
this state. There is such a thing as
legislating corporations . to death,
jp-- \ While we sometimes feel that betww>n
pnpnnrah'nnu and thp r?POT)]e
] there is a vast gulf, still we are all
mighty glad to have manufacturing
and other enterprises, and again only
a small portion of the corporations
are against the interests of the people
^ ; generally. The legislature has already
effected short working hours
per day, and somebody has now introduced
a measure in the legislature
< to further shorten them. This is
nothing short of silly. . The pay of
employees will be cut in proportion
to the work performed. Anyway the
country ou^ht to work more instead
of less. There are some legislators
who have always had the idea they

than the owners can. We believe
in a fair deal for everybody.
The "high taxers" are resorting to
every possible subterfuge to keep up
the enormous expenditures inaugurated
during the war. They now reaII

refuse longer to pay the taxes like
. they have in the pagt; consequently
all sorts of other taxes are being proposed,
such as income, gasoline, soft
drink, and other so-called painless
extraction taxes. Experts have been
jpK. hired from a distant state to tell the
people just how it can be done. But
the people are tired of being told.
They are not only tired of paying
the high taxes, but they are sick and
tired of the enormous waste in the
state government. There are boards
'IS and commissions galore, all wanting
big salaries, and huge expense accounts.
It won't work. The war is
over. We must now come down to
earth. About four-fifths of the commissions
and boards must be legislated
out of office, or somebody is
going into the elections this summer

M BLACKVILLE BUREAU
Funeral of W. Frank Walker.
Blackville, Jan. 24.?Mrs. W.
Frank Walker and her three step
ohildren, John, Louise and Marguerite
are the recipients of the sympathy of
their many friends in their bereavement?the
tragic death of W. Frank
Walker, which occurred at an early
hour Saturday morning at the Baptist
hospital in Columbia, where he
had been carried for surgical treatt*
ment for fractured skull. Mr.Walker
was a planter, and a member of the
city council of Blackville. He was
originally from Laurens, but moved
here many years ago, to look after
the business interests of ais brotherly
m-law, Charley Mathis, a noted farmer
of Blackville. Mr. Walker was
twice married, his first wife was Miss
Owens, of Laurens county. Of this
union, three children survive. His
second wife was Miss Daisy Hair, a
popular and attractive lady of this
place. He was an active member of
the Methodist church, and was about
47 years old. Funeral and interly-.
mi'-;.
\ '
.
I
ment took place at the Blackville
cemetery yesterday in the presence
of a large crowd of friends and relatives.
Rev. F. L. Glennan, assisted
by Rev. L. H. Miller, performed the
services.
Fire I)oes Small Damage.
There was quite an excitement in
town today when the alarm of fire
was heard. Mrs. Mallie DeWitt's
nouse, occupied Dy Mr. ana Mrs. u. &.
Fishburne was on fire, but was put
t
out before much damage was done.
t
"Dobbin" Comes Back.
It has been predicted that this
would soon be a "horseless age," but
an unusual sight here now is folks
enjoying the luxury of a horse and
buggy ride, who haven't traveled
that way for years. The horse is
slowly coming back into his own, for
a time at least. "There is one good
thing about old Dobbin. You don't
have to haul corn to town to swap
for something to run him with."
"E" is Popular.
Some of the children are asking
another riddle this week?"What is
the most up-to-date letter in the alphabet?
TVney say it is the letter
"E," because its never found in
"cash" and always in "Debt" like
everybody else around Blackville.
"Home Made" Brew.
"Sassafras tea" is a popular drink
in several homes here, and the children
say it is just as -good as the
"cold drinks." Which reminds us
of old "Uncle Bob" Kennedy, an old
veteran of the Civil War, long since
dead, who used to say he carried
some sassafras root with him and
drew tea off the same piece all during
the war, and the longer he used
it, the redder and stronger the tea
became. He said a "hard tack and a
swig of sassafras tea" was a luxury,
fit for a king during the war.

The Joseph Koger chapter, D. A.

Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the following
Interesting account of her recovery:
"I wa3 in a weakened condition.
I was sick three years In bed,
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still J didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trouble
since . . I sure can testify to the

For over 40 years, thousands of women
have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
