A Good BilL We are glad to see that the bill introduced by Chairman Liles, of * ? ? nrn. the ways ana means cuunmv^, _ viding for five hundred dollars traveling expenses for circuit judges has passed the House and we hope it will pass the Senate and become law. It strikes us that with all the appropriations of our Legislature they could very well afford to pay our judges a salary in keeping with the work they have to do. That they are underpaid most every person will admit, while * there are some few who advance the argument that if they can't do the work for what they are now getting there others ?-11 tnh Yes. there wno Will intvc j~~. ? are those would be willing to take the job of being President for half the salary he is getting, but we want quality in the White House and not quantity. South Carolina has a most able set of men on the bench And the time is at hand when their services should be recognized by being paid a salary their ability demands. Along this line we think our circuit Solicitors should be provided with an amount for traveling J expenses. Their salaries should also be increased because it is through his office that the whole legal machinery for bringing the violators of the law to justice is started and carried to a conclusion, usually. Who Is To Blame? Kingstree has an ordinance against the running at large of live stock ori the streets of the town. For some unaccountable reason it is not enforced. It is not an uncommon thing to see loose animals running , H at large on the streets of the town. Only a few days ago a lady, who had in her charge a little baby, was walking along one of our streets when a gentleman had to go to her assistance to help her get by a horse that was running around loose on the streets. We knftw of a lady " " 1? oftBtinnollv nn the mat ntus iu uc u/uuuu?v ? watch for these loose animals when her children are playing on the streets in front of her door. Why does this condition prevail? Hogs and cattle have been permitted to roam permiscuouslv in certain parts of town recently and several residents have complained to us that on this account they are unable to beautify their'lawns or keep their . premises as they would like to. Tax paying citizens have a right to expect a reasonable enforcement of the law. Are our ordinances simply to fill up space on the ordinance book or are they enacted into law for the protection of our citizens? We would also like to know why the ordinance requiring automobiles to stop at the corners of Main and Academy streets and Main street and Hampton avenue are not enforced? Less than one-half the automobiles passing these corners fail *' - ? to "ottid!" If to ooeerve me nuucc tu oivi this law is not going to be enforced why not take down the signs, for certainly they are no orq^ments. Who is to hlame for the non-enforcement of the town's laws? We believe in an economical county government, but we do not believe in the policy of wasting dollars to save pennies. First of all, we be- ( live in a liberal salary for all county , officers, Williamsburg has two that ( we particularly have in mind. Each i hoira aoavpH thp eountv faithfully and well for a number of years and year after year their duties become ( more arduous and complex, yet not a word has been said about increas- I ing the salary af these efficient ser- 1 van^.s. We refer to the County Su- ' pervisor and the County Auditor, and hope before 'tis too late that i our delegation will see to it that pro- 1 vision is made for an increase in the ' salaries of these officerf to a sum commensurate with their needs and , a just compensation for their ser- j vices. ! ? " 1 A POINTER FOR FARMERS. j ^ Movement for Cultivation of Pea-; nuts and Soy Beans. Last Saturday quite a few farm ers met in the court house to talk J over the growing of peanuts and I sov beans. Mr Edward Eve, repre-j senting the Sea Island Cotton Oil i company of Charleston, talked on If the cultivation of peanuts. Mr Eve i said that there was a demand for an ' j\ unlimited demand of peanuts today I ^ and that the oil mills coqjd not get i cotton seed enough to run the mills1 but six months out of the year. The I remainder of the time could devoted j r to the crushing of the peanuts and ; extracting the oil. J v Mr Eve stated that if we could; 3 get enough farmers to plant one! (J hundred (100) acres of peanuts that1 r his company would send a picker to ^ pick the peanuts at the current ? prices for this work.

If we wait until the boll c weevil makes its appearance before 1 making an effort to grow these crops | on a commercial scale the result, in many cases, will prove a failure for one or two years. We are requested by County Agent C W Baker to say in this connection : that farmers who expects to plant a ! few acres of either peanuts or soy beans, should advise him at once so that he can write Mr Eve definite- | ly concerning the use of the picking j machine. A cotton oil company in Manning i has made preparations to crush soy beans this fall. This company can take care of all the beans that will be grown in this section of the State ^ in the next few years. t Mr Baker expects to send off an j order for seed for these two crops within a few days and any farmers j wanting seed should either write or .see Mr Baker without delay for he .. can get a better price on the seed s by ordering a large quantity thqn ( the individual farmer can get by } ordering a small lot. ( """ 1 Weekly Budget from Lake City. t Lake City, Jan 30:?Young Mr Humphries of Timmonsville was in s town from Saturday to Monday. He ( comes as regularly as any drummer t you ever saw, works as hard at his 1 job and stays longer. J C Williams, Esq, of Florence 1 spent Sunday in town at his old J home. i The excessively bad weather has i brought about a positive dearth of < news. Folks can't visit; the streets are deserted except when the * "movie" is running; and the wet has < even taken the "starch" out of the 1 spirits of the people. 1 The drummers who travel by the ' "John Henrys" come in at night complaining of all manner of aches and pains and sore spots. The roads are not altogether as smoot as bil- ' Hard tables. Mr J D Singletary has English Q peas up and looking well. Mr A B Brick left Saturday night ! for Baltimore and New York. He \ will be gone about ten days or two weeks. One object of his trip is to 1 buy goods, but he said before leaving that, if he could strike a bargain in a wife, he will not come back alone. He will attend the marriage of his sister in Brooklyn next Sunday. _ * Chesley Timmons, colored, was v convicted in the mayor's court Tues- 8 day of selling whiskey and sentenced P to a fine of $100 or be imprisoned h 30 days. A man may ommit muf- 8 der or steal a bank with fine pros pects of going unpunished, but if he sells liquor in South Carolina, he's a goner. This is the one crime, and largely the only one, that is receiving attention today in this State. Cleveland Big Boll Cotton Seed fnr aolo 51 Kft npr nnshel.
