Men are found too who will accept these favors and support these officials. Have you ever heard of an officer remitting a ftne to whieh he is entitled under liwlokeeptn favor? Did you everhear of a maa’stoUag an officer that he Would not veto for him if he did not O' do thus and so? Such persons are guilty of buying votes and of selling votes. Now these conditions are not ■* found in Col'eton, but they are found in ether counties, and it will be well for our officials to keep their eyes open or someone in this county will be led into these bad habits. Let us keep our politics clean. A GRAND JURY? Sometimes we ask ourselves the question: Why a grand jury, any how? It seems that their recom mendations are never heeded by those officials to whom they are di rected. At a previous {session, a magistrate of this county was pre sented for incdmpetency, end it wss asked that such steps as were neces sary be taken to have him removed from office. Nothing has been done. Again this officer has been presented. Will nothing be dons this time? If the officer is not competent to hold this important office, he should be removed, and some officer is not do ing his duty when he does not have him removed. The charge of incom- petancy should at least be investi gated, and the magistrate either cleared or condemned. The magis trate in question should demand an Investigation. GRAND JURY VS. ROAD EXPERT. The following from the present ment of the grand jury is worthy of careful study: “We have examined the *Good Roads’ in process of con struction, but the aaopinion or makaare- If this bsjtrus, then why did Jupr have anj rthtagtosi sin quoting: “The has employed a read ex- ssn on the road a mnmmmml thgt MEMMINGER VS. WIJ^ON. At the recent term of sessions court at Sumter, several cases were tried involving violation of the pro hibition law. In the course of Kis charge to the jury in one of these trials. Judge Memminger charged the law as it is, and as a result there has been much said of his charge. He charged that it isunlftrful, “and a person who has it in his possession becomes guilty of receiving and ac cepting and keeping that liquor in his possession and storing it, no mat ter how small a quantity it may be, and no matter for what purpose he may have it. . . *. Any man who has$t in his possession, whether for personal use or otherwise, of a quan tity of liquor, no matter how small it may be, that it is subject to seiz ure, and he subject to prosecution for the receipt, acceptance and keep ing it in his possession.” This charge is in direct keeping with the words of the Cary-Cothran Act which says:B“It shall be unlaw ful for any person, firm, corporation or association within this State to manufacture, sell, barter, exchange, receive, accept, give away to induce trade, deliver, store, keep in posses sion in this State, furnish at public places or otherwise dispose of any spiritous, malt, vinous or other liq uor* or beverages. ’’ This is the law. and it ia believed by able jurists in the State, among them several of the Walterboro bar, to be good law that will stand the test of the Supreme Court. On the"contrary. Judge Wilson, who has justjconcluded a term of court here, in one of the liquor tried, took^occaaion to charge the jury that the law permitted any per ■on to keep liquor in| his possession “for pereonal|use,” and that it was no violation of law to|have it in pos session if intended for personal use. o We confess we do not see where he can find any peg in the Cary-Cothran law on which to hang such acondua- ion as this. ^ ‘ . t i- The custom in Walterboro has been to seise the liquor as soon the express agent delivers it to the consignee, especially if there are any suspicious circumstances surround ing it. ThereCwere several such cases that had been appealed to the circuit court, but Judge Wilson seemingly afraid to tackle them, and had them all continued. It may be thptbesawthe decision of Judge ilernmhiger and did not wish to charge the jury so directly in oppo sition to the charge of this able jur ist till he had had time to study the question very carefully.

They would come home at the end of their honeymoon's first quarter. She assented. The/ bad no sooner settled them selves In their seats on the train after the wedding than Mrs. Wilder took a book oat of her hand bag and began to read. Evan turned and looked at her curiously. 8he paid no attention to him, bat went on reading, and he turned away to the window. For tb% first time in bis life pe had felt a de sire to say something tender. But there was little em-ouragemeut to “talk •oft" to a woman deeply Interested in ■ b«»ok. He rtewtsted. On arrival at their destination the newly married wife told her husUmd that she was very tired after the preparations f«»r the weddlusr and wished a room to herself at the hotel. There was some thing so decided in the proposition that the husband did not venture an objection. The place of their quarter of a hon eymoon was at the seaside. Evan .arose in the morning, having lain awake all night in a mental grumble. He went down to breakfast. After waiting half an hour for his bride be sent a serva-nt to her room to learn when she would be down. He receiv ed in reply a bit of pa|K>r on which was written: “Dear Evan—Don’t mind me. I’m making up sleep. Hope you'll find something to do to kill time.” Evan sat down to breakfast alone. He had pictured that first breakfast i and wondered how he would ever get through it. He would rend Ids pa|*er and bia wife would object. He would lay it aside mm! try to say something •neeable to her and shtf would pout Sne had relieved him of her presence at this undesirable first breakfast, and he was at perfect liberty to read bis paper aa be liked. a He strolled during the morning over the beach thinking of how differ ent was the reality from what be had conceived.

The Doctor Whose Patients Hang On Bj Herbert Kaufman. Out in China all things arc not topsy turvy. Physicians are paid for keeping people well and when their patients (all ill their weekly salary check is stopped. The Chinese jddge a medical man not by the number of years he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive. An advertising medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that it has a%e to its credit isn’t so important as the age of its adver tising patronage. Whenever a newspaper con tinues to display the store talk of the same es tablishment year after year, it’s a pretty sure sign that the merchant has ma&z money out of that newspaper, because no publication can - continue to be a losing investment to its cus tomers over a stretch of time, without the fact being discovered. And when a newspaper is able to boast of an honor roll of stores that have continued to appear in its pages for a stretch of decades it proven its superiority as plainly as a mountain peak which rises above its fellows. The coihbtnation of stability and progress'll the longest virtue that a newspaper can pos sess. Onlythe fit survive—TzgHititAOii\s a. difficult thing to gif and a harder thing to hold—it takes merit to earn it and character to maintain it. There is a vast difference between fame and notoriety, and just as much difference between a famous newspaper and a notorious one. Just as a manufacturer is always eager to install his choicest stocks in a store which has earned the respect of the community, just so a retailer should be anxious to insert his name in a newspaper which hat earned the respect of its readers. The manufacturer feels that he will receive a square deal from a store which has age to its credit. He can expectas much from a newspaper which is a credit to its age! The newspaper which outlives the rest does so because it was best fitted to—it had to earn the confidence of its readers—and keep it. It had to be a better newspaper than any other, and better newspapers goto the homes of better buyers. Every bit of its circulation has the 'And it every element of quality and staying power. V is the respectable, home-loving element of „ community—not the touts and the gamblers—- toward which the merchant must look for his business vertebrae—he cannot find buyers un less he use’s the newspaper that enters their homes. And when he does enter fheir homes he must not confuse the sheet that comes in the back gate with the newspaper that is de livered at the front door. (Coprrtrkt, IMS. by Tritons Cs»ssay, Chi cays.)
