C. Board of Corrections. Attor noy Ceneral Rules Liquor Can Ie Sent from One Wet State to Another Through a Dry State. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 15.-Reports of the Stato Board of Charities and Cor rection of annual inspections of chain gangs in South Carolina made public yesterday by Frank E. Broyles, assist ntit secretary, contain a recomnienda tion that the entire county system is wrong and should be abolished by the legislature and the convicts placed un (er the State Highway Commission. In submitting the report, 'dr. Broyles says: "From foir year's intimate knowl edge of chain gangs in South Carolina, we have reached the conclusion that the entire system is wrong and should , abolished by the legislature. We know many countles that are working less than 10 or 12 men, with three hired white men for guards. One county was working five convicts, to guoard whoml three men were employed and fed by the county. This is a los in.g proposiiton for tle taxmayers. The best that can he done with such a gang oin tie road is repair or patch work. which tears up again before lie gang works ten miles away. The trealiienit of tle men by tile aut hori ties is not what it shoild Ile in any respect and it iever will be so long as the foreian and guards are mu]n 'losel for their positions because of servi'es rendered to tle supervisor inl his campaigns. \\'e icoimieenl lie abolition of tle coity systemi and urge thai1.1t coniviets w ho have violated state laws andil have ien t roil and 'eilenced inl state collrt I1 1 pulishied by state Otli(ia l inscred of rointy olliciaIls.

ROSS D. YOUNG, County Treasurer. 8. M. & EB. H. WILKES & CO. BUY REAL ESTATE Do not wait and have to pay more. The price of real estate is jumping day by day and the longer you wait the more you will have to pay. Be wise and buy now. You do not think it a good time to buy your farm or home now---but didn't you think the same thing a year ago? Since then the prices have advanced very rapidly and the other fellow has got the profit. Do not fall into the same error again. Real estate is the one commodity that has a steady tendency upward. It will remain so as long as this country continues its prosperity, or until it reaches 'a point where the popula tion stops increasing. Bank on that. If you have a farm or home that you are not satisfied with, list it with me for sale and get one that you would be satis fied with. If you are a renter and are tired of paying rent, come to me and let me find you a nice place where you can put your rent into the purchase price and save money in the long run. Why Hesitate? Do Not Put Off Doing the Thing That Means So Much to Your Future. See Me for Anything About Land. B. M. WOLFF . REAL ESTATE STOCKS BONDS Laurens National Bank Bldg. Laurens. S. C.
