Those who take the law into their own hands may expect to be nmiisliwl outside of the law whether they actually get what is coming to them in that regard or not. Sometimes they get it, and sometimes they do not. But they know that they deserve it. According to the judges of this state, several of whom have expressed themselves lately from the bench, the practice of talcing the law into the hands of the private citiren is on the increase in this state. They warn the people of what the result of this will be. They say that it must be checked or else the time is not far when anarchy will reign. The judges are telling the truth. Their statements as to the extent of taking the law in this way may be overdrawn to some extent. The practice has grown so as to be noticeable i more than formerly. What they predict as to the result of this is also | true. It can lead to nothing else except wlvit they say, for unless we I have the law as our supreme rule of j conduct we have chaos and this means anarchy. j The courts say further that this tendency among the people must be checked. They mean that the law must be applied. He who fails to shape his conduct otherwise than as the law dictates, violates the law and is as mean as any other breaker of the law, no matter what kind of man or woman has been the object of his 1 o nrlnco n/*f a I?'* ? A 1 Kvui&iiii ii< irt useufss 10 try 10 excuse such conduct by the vileness in the life of the person or persons attacked, or the evils supposed to he suppressed. Such a man who as: sumes to take upon himself the functions ot judge and jury is nothing, short of a criminal. His station in life may be higher financially and socially than the stealer of money and the common house breaker, and' thus the example set for others is more apt to be followed, and this fact makes such a man a worse foe to organized society. The remedy advised by most of the judges of tho courts is the perj formancp of duty by the juries who pass on the cases in the criminal courts. This is without any doubt the best remedy to be had. Law lessness cannot be punished by lawlessness. The law is as adequate to punish all such offenders as anything in nature can be. H is the |'VH<? V1IIU nan ^ill.y LUIIIJt; HH ll.'; L<> depend upon to right the wrongs >m |dieted. If the juries do their dutv and convict thp guilty without fear ; or favor, then the judges in almost | I every case can he depended upon to ( do theirs. Severe sentence.-; follow . the convictions and thus the law ' places upon everybody its heavy j hand of restraint. Another remedy lies in the hands of the sober, clear-thinking men and women of this country. They certainly mend things up by crying down the lawless nature of the mob. They must stand against mol. rule in all things and against the private punishment of > private wrongs at the hands of the private person supposed to have been injured. Thev must not wink at such conduct and pass it by unnoticed, for what they allow to pass in others will be visited upon them se Ivor. They must-^ realize that people of this kind are foes to the state. Their actions are calculated to sap its very foundations. The more they look iind Crown down such lawless acts as have lately marked this section of the state the sooner will they begin to have what may justly be caned a law-abiding community. o Ho who would succeed in any undcrtaking must not shy at difficulties. He must face thom. There is no such thin?; as accomplishment without difficulties. These are natural. Never think they are not. Look for them and never let them boss you, but overcome them, knowing that they c?'n be overcome. If any man deserves nity it is the one who wants' t# 'set himself up for what he is not. Wo such man was ever original. He usually has some- ' body picked out and he tries to follow him and cannot'} but he spends his life in trying. He has nobody 1 fool eel. .o'xeept himself. ' Many a man who is living a wrong 1 life arid iniuring others every day. ' thinks that lie has his meanness con- ! realed so that the knowledge of it is locked up in his breast alone. Hut this is always a mistake. Tf a man i? living n, life of sham:* with ! his neiopTibor' wife, all the rest of 1 his neighbors will know it. If he is ' getting a living by dishonest methods everd family in the ecommunity will know it. Sins of this k'nd cannot be hid under a bushel. Y, S. 0., OCT 20, 1921 YOUNG WOMAN PASSES AWAY Mrs. Lydia Sarvis Edwards, wife i>f Grady Edwards, died at the Flor 1 pneo Infiimary, Florence, S. (}., o'v ] Tuesday of this week, at 9:30 (yclocKli in the forenoon, after an illness at the hospital lasting about six weeks. The deceased had been married about one year. She wqs the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Sarvis, of Busckville, S. C. Her* sisters are Mrs. Florence Pinner, IWrrs. Sain Pipkin, Miss Flossie Sarvis, Mrs. K 1 Page; and her brothers are Clifford Sarvis and J. J. Sarvis. Mrs. Edwards taught in the public schools and finished a term after her marriage. The interment took place at Hebron Church, near her old home ai d where she had always attended church and where she was ever a fxiithf.il A V I I I U I MIVIII UVI o LOWER PEE DEE BRIDGE. Quite an enthusiastic meeting was held in Georgetown last Tuesday ai which the proposition of building a bridge acvos .cthe Pee Dee river nt or near Port Harrelson was discussred. Both the Horry and Georgetown delegations .vcrc present, as weil as some members of the Board o? County Commissioners and citizens representing the Chamber of Commerce of Conway and Georgetown. The tentative plan is to build the bridge at jl cost of about $200,000 jointly by the respective counties, by the issuing of bonds. The opinion seemed to prevail that it would bo unwise to link up with the Stale Highway Commission, hut 10 build it independently and make it a toll bridge. The meeting was unanimous as t > the necessity and advisability of having thw structure connecting the sis ter counties and putting us in tone'.with the balance of the state. Thi? route would place us in line with the National Coastal Highway running from Maine to Florida. The Chambers of Commerce are actively behind the project and expect to push the enterorise to com paction. ' A committee of throe from each Chamber is to be aopointeri. acting with the Board of County Commissior.crs. to formulate plans and submit Inter a definite proposition. Those attending from heie were: Senator Jeremiah Smith, Represen taVives Ford and Prince; Supervisor H. P. Little, D. V. Richardson, J. H. Marsh and D A. Spivey. WANTS BATTERY STATION SITE | ? ? '* J Chamber of Commerce Gets i Letter From J. M. Mc- | Kenzie. Jr. The Conway Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of a letter from Mr. J. M. McKonxie, Jr., of Bnnnockburn, S. C., making inquiries as to the desirability of Conway for the location of a battery business. The Chamber of Commerce has writeen Mr. McKenzie of the town's possibilities along the line of his inquiries. , Mr. McKenzie's letter follows "As I am thinking of going into the battery business in some real live little town 1 decided to write you and net your opinion of your town. "I v. <>r d like to know just how many * mgaged in this line of "work there no*., also if 4!ie people are well pleased with the service they are* putting out. Or do you think that the town is large enough to support one other battery service?" PEACE TREATY RIGHT-OF-WAY Washington. ? Ratification of the German peace treaty within the next few days was forecast by leaders of boh sides after a canvass of the Senate had been completed. A vote on the treaty had been expected by Friday or Saturday at the latest, but in view of the death of Senator Knox some delay is expected in the action of the Senate. A safe margin above the necssary twi-thirds majority for ratification was claimed by the treaty's advocates. Fourteen Democratic votes, it was said, would be cast for ratifica tion, with a loss to the Republican side of only three or four against rati-1 fication. Senator T?odge, Republican, leader of Massachusetts, discused the handling of the treaty with Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic floor leader, and later announced that the treaty would be Riven exclusive right of way, beginning not later than Friday, when the unanimous consent ip.ier\.ent made some time ago lin it- : ing each Senator's time to one hour, will become etTective. Comparatively few Sgiiators, it was , said, were planning. ,t? make ad- ' dresses, nnd it was highly probable, leaders declare*!, that a final vote , could be had on reservations and rati- J fication late Friday,- or almost ceri.tiniy on Saturday.

Charley Prescott ,was let to bair last week by order o?+Judge Frank B. Gary, holding court in the city, of Florence. The U&jl was fixed bjr agreeament with tnfc*' solicitor, Mr. L. M. Gasque, at the sumi of $1,00#.' This bond was signed by Messrs. W. J. Sessions and George Cartrett' and Prescott was freed from the jail not long after the preliminaries were arranged. The wife of Prescott had been ia trouble during the time that her husband was kept in jail awaiting tha inquest and the making of bail. She drove to Conway almost every day find m;ulp rnmnlninf f Kut h?r niAfu had been disturbed the night before by boys or men who came to her home and waited in the public ro?(4 near the bars where the former trouble took place; that they disturbed her and her children so that she could not sleep; that she could not tell with certainty who thcs^ parties were. I Near her house is the stall ih which the mule is kept. This mule* when teased, will kick the sides aC the stall. This was kept up for several nights while Pi?escott was h* 'ail, according to the story told by his wife. She also said that almost every night parties would knock on* the door of the little unfinished houye where the Prescotts live. She claims that almost every minute she l felt herself in danger of serious in! jury. All of this was reported to tho 'rural policemen, but so far as can he learned none of the authorities have taken any action on these com {plaints. Now that Presrott is back | home, although ho is old and sick most of the timea, he is capable of protecting his home, and his home, though humble, is a home just the STILL LOCKED. The sock of J. A. Tyler at Alls-brook, S. C., still remains locked upwhile his creditors are considering1 a proposition of compromise that he made through his attorney last week. o DEATH OF A LADY Mrs. R. M.
