In its Monday morning issue, The State proclaimed a safe and sane at titude in regard to such law viola tions and stated that it does not ex perfection; that in a city the sire Columbia there are bound to be gambling and liquor seilirg, and that m they are kept reasonably under the authorities are doing their When, however, such activities atcasion general comment and com- plairt on the part of the public, it is time that something be done. And what applies to Columbia also applies in greater or lesser degree to city and town in the State.

They kpow, or should know, whether or not there are flagrant vio lations of the law. If the gerertd pub lic believe that there are suclf viola tions ard-they have become offensive, than our officers are inefficient and derelict in the performance of their duty. We all have too much of the old Adam in* us to expect perfection, but wu can at least make the violation of tbb liquor laws discreet and add aolnewhat to the city treasury by raids and arrests. Jf •• •••» A mat. asked the Pullman agent for a berth. “Upper or lower? There's a differ ence in price. Let me explain: “The lower berth is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower. If you want it lower you’ll have to go higher. . “In other words, the higher, the lower. Most people don’t like the upper, although it is lower on account of its being higher. When you occu- ipy an upper you have to go up to go to bed, and get down d[hen you get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. The upper is lower than the lower because it is higher. If you are willing to go higher, it will be lower.” ' “Guess I’ll go to the settin’ car,” replied the man - who thought he wanted a berth.—Anon. » 1 Advertise in The People-Sentinel Paris Porch Frock Is Dainty for Home Wear and appear before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at BernWell, S.

In the matter of traffic regulations as well as in other things, “an ounce of prevention is worth a cure.” The above should not he construed as meaning that The People-Sentinel abvocates that local officers should as sist orly in helping to regulate minor traffic violations.

Va. Chief interest In Blue Grottoes cen ters around the thousands of names of Civil war soldiers which are Inscribed upon Its walls and which can easily he read today. The caverns also have the varl-colored formation peculiar to places of this kind and which are formed by drops of water through limestone formations extending over thousands of years. The caverns are located eight miles north of Harrison burg on the Volley pike and run under a huge limestone knoll on the Moore farm. During the Civil war both Confed erate and Union soldiers made part of these caverns, running back under the knoll, a hiding place and a camping site, especially In stormy weather. The mouth of the cave was large enough for many horses to enter. In fact, the first opening was used as a stable for horses. The soldiers would go back further Into the channel where, safe and unmolested from the enemy, they carved their names on the sides of the walls. • _ _ a ♦ » A Fair Exchange is No Robbery.
