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

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. !

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.

ing this crop on a small scale and j g
learning more about its cultivation. 1,
As the boll weevil will probably be i
here year after next fall, every
farmer should begin now to prepare .
for his coming by growing such
crops that a ready market can be (
found for. 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. (

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.

Though die had suffered with
heumatisifl so badly she could not

leal with a number of other ailnents,
Mrs J T Durham, of 2210 S
ilain St, Anderson, declares that
'Tanlac relieved my rheumatism
nd other troubles and got me in
;ood shape in three weeks, after a
i>t of other medicines had failed to
telp me."
"I suffered with rheumatism so
?adly I could hardly walk at times,"

"One of my legs was badly drawn,
md I hurt all over and suffered torure.
I had rheumatism badly for
hree or four years, but I had been
n bad health for al?out nine years,
vhen I began to take Tanliic. I
dso was troubled a great deal with
ndigestion and headaches, and my
lerves were almost 'gone to pieces.'
' could not sleep well, and my sys,em
was weak and run down and I
elt tired out all the time.
"The Tanlac soon got me where
could do inv housework, for it
luickly relieved the rheumatism
ind that drawing in my leg. I am
itrong and feel well now. Tanlac
:ertainly is a fine medicine for
heumatism, I think. I very sellom
ever feel a pain in my body
low so well did Tanlac break up the
heumatism.
"The medicine also built up my
lystem in general, gave me a fine
ippetite and relieved the indigesion.
I could not eat anything
lardly when I liegan taking Tanlac,
nit it got me so I could eat anytrng

I sure do feel tine, and the
