appear to us as a very goofr^oFsatisfactorv
law, but rather as an in
fringemem upon the rights of owners
of hunting and fishing grounds
who are accustomed to inviting their
friends upon their premises for a
little sport with the rod or gun. That
part of the law relating to closed
seasons and prescribing the methods
of capture of fish and game may be j
all right, but the rest of is is not re-'
garded with general favor so far as
we can learn. The new law is Statewide
and applies to all counties
alike.

for the large number of
oplc supposed to be served by it. [
The trouble is, or seems to be, that
the route covers too much territory,
making for a carrier a daily trip of
over sixty miles. The route has been
without a carrier for several weeks
and while Postmaster Stackley is doing
everything1 he can to get a carrier
the federal authorities should
take steps to shorten the route.

Trying to Get Rid of the Negro
A long article in the New York
Evening Post under a Philadelphia
date line describes what is now happening
to the negroes who went
north in (he past two or three years,
attracted by the high prices then being
paid for war work, and gaily
shaking the dust of the South from
their feet forever. Their present
plight is axactly what their friends
foretold. At Coatsville, Pa., where
many negroes were employed in the
great steel plants, these negroes, to
whom the promise of long employment
had been made by the agents
who enticed them North with assurance
of high wages and free transportation
both ways, are now without
work and without funds, hated
and despised not only by their fellow
laborers but a'so by the authori-1
tics, State and local. They are looked
upon as vagabonds and criminals
and tm>^dstomary thing is to seize
one charge or another,drive
them to the southern" limits of the
town and order them to "head
south."
This is the pictyre as it is drawn
by one of the Northern newspapers
which has been most consistent in
its championship of the negro's interests.
To appreciate it correctly
one must, as the President would
say, have the setting. The present
condition in which the negroes who
hurried North in the exodus of two
years ago find themselves is bad
enough in itself, but what makes it
harder for them is the contrast with
the prosperity of the negroes who
stayed in the South, especially the
negroes who stuck to the farm,
worked hard and saved their money.
What the New York Evening Post
>ught to do is to send one of itscorIjgspondents
into this section to report
on the situation here in comparison
with the situation as it has
iescroed it at Coatsville.?News and

REPLY TO BETHEA
1
The Record, an afternoon paper of
Columbia, and R. Carlton Wright, of j
Columbia, its publisher and editor, j
nade an answer last Friday in the (
;uit of Major Andrew J. Bethea, of ;
Columbia, for $100,000 against them i
*i/i- alleged malicious libel. 1
Major I?etf*ea based his suit on a ]
cries of articles published in The i j
Record which charged that he did j1
lot have a right to don the uniform |i
>f a major in the United States j
irmy, as he was in inactive status
ind that he was made to "disrobe" j
jy an crmv officer at Camp Jact- j
>on. The allegations Major Bctn?a j
lenied, claiming that The Record's
Articles Atre unfounded and held ,
iim up to ridicule and scorn.
In its return today The Record
llleges that it had authentic information
on which to base its charges
and that it thought it was its duty
to let the people know about Major
Bcthea as he had been in public life
and it is understood contemplated
running for Governor. The return
further stated that while Major
Bethea last summer was campaigning
for Governor, other men of his age
were donning the khaki. It allegedalso
that Major Bethea was a young man
and unmarried. Major Bethea for
four years up to January 14 of this
year was Lieutenant Governor of
the Stale.

Is Well, Thanks to Dreco.
"When I began taking Dreco I
was in awful shape; after eating my
stomach would ache, swell up and
get hard as a rock. I was never able
to get any breakfast at all. My liver
was dull and I had dizzy spells, foul
breath and bad taste in my mouth.
My kidneys were out of order, which
?ave me pains in my back and
rheumatism of the joints. I have taksn
two bottles of Dreco and my pains
are all gone now*. I eat three big
meals every day, and never have
those, stomach pains. The dizzy spells
have ceased and I sleep fine. Dreco
is great," are the words of Mr. M.
C. Bryant, 128 Crescent ave., Spartanburg,
s. c.
Dreco is compounded from the
juices and extracts of medicinal
roots, herbs, barks and berries. There
is no doubt about the value of this
great medicine for stomach disoru-o-ilr
Iriflnovs slrnrensh liver.
constipated bowels, nor for cleans'*
in# the blood of poisons and impu-'
rities, thereby eradicating rheumatism
and catarrh. Scores of people
have testified to its merits; many of
them after all other remedies and
doctors had failed to help them, and
all declared Dreco had restored their
health.
Dreco is now sold by all good
druggists throughout the country
and is especially recommended in
Kingstree by the Kingstree Drug
Company.

Crooks Might Come This Way j
Atlanta, (la., March 10.?All State i
banks have been warned by State
Treasurer W. J. Speer to be on the;
lookout for crooks who are reported
operating in Georgia.
The method of procedure, accord- j
^iug to the State Treasurer is for a
person to present a check to some |
[ bank drawn upon another in a differ- j
ent section 01 tne country ami iw a** |
for a certificate of deposit in return.
The certificate of deposit is a negotiable
paper, and the holder thereof
immediately trades it for cash, while
the checks given are usually returned
as worthless paper.

Personally, nearly every man has
a revolution brewing, but it seldom
breaks out.
The most complacently made arguments
are based on the most il
logical foundations.
Jonah was cast overboard because
he was supposed to bring bad luck;
and the whale thought so, too.
Desk work is probably as irksome
as housework, out no man can hire
