Why Not Drive In
Replying to a communication sent
us last week concerning the taking-,
out of a vehicle license by residents <
of Georgetown county who expect to !
run their vehicles in Williamsburg
county. We have to advise ourt correspondent
that vehicles are as free ^
to come into this county without the j
license tag as a Georgetown autoaio- *
biles is to come here without paying
additional license or tax. so why not |
drive in?
Heniy H. Watkins of Anderson,

Dough-Boys' Fly-Swatting Shocks b
The Teutons
No doubt by way of retaliation
for all the mean things said about tl
the Kuns during the period of the
war. the German newspapers are
now publishing stories of atrocious j
crimes committed by American sol- C
diers in the occupied territory of \\
Germany, says Richard Henry Little
in the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Little
met a German who had been travel- "
inc in the occupied zone, however.
and was by him informed that there
was ao foundation for these stories, o
The German farmer folk, said this ;
man, in the region where the Ameri- ir
cans are located, regard the latter as P
kind, agreeble beings, albeit lunatics d<
and also millionaires. They complain%
ed of no outrages perpetrated by the
0. D. boys, but they did mention a S1
few of their funny ways, which are h
utterly beyond the Teutonic understanding,
and hence are viewed, if _
net with suspicion, at least with as- ?
tonishment. not unmixed with pity "
that human beings should permit o
themselves to get that way. The edi- u
fying information furnished Mr. Lit- c.
tie by the obliging traveler is set out, '
in part, as follows:
"The peasants told me," said he. 6
"you might never know an American
was mad unless a fly came into the
room. When the American sees
a fly a strangs, hard glitter comes
into his eyes. Then you see he is crazy.
His mania makes him want to
hit the fly. He folds up newspapers
and tiptoes over behind the iiy anu
strikes at it with great viciousness.
If it does not die, he pursues it. calls
in more soldiers, and strikes at the
fly."
The traveler said some German
farmers who had observed this
strange action on the part of American
soldiers were willing to make allowances.
They said probably in
America flies were large and that
their bite caused instant death.
Therefore, Americans had formed
the habit of killing all flies they saw.
The traveler said another proof
the farmer in the occupied zone had
that Americans were stark, raving
mad was because they made them
open their windows at night and let
m the deadly night air, which every
German peasant knows is most poisonous
The German farmer likes to close
all windows at night and plug up
ever}, keyhole to keep out the deadly
night air, but. if the Americans
catch them with the windows closed,
they haul them into court and fine I
them.
The peasants say the American
soldiers told them, it was one of
President Wilson's fourteen points
that all Germans should have their
windows open at night, which is
proof to some that Americans want
to kill the Germans off with consumption.
while others say it shows
Wilson is as mad as the rest of the
Americans.

V,. Fditnr:
A few lines to the merchants and
the tobacco warehouses of Kingstree
as to the condition on this side
of Black river. Men from the warehouses
can be seen over here soliciting
the planters to take their tobacco
to Kingstree to sell on that market
which we would like to do, so as
to do a little trading with Mr. Merchant
and return to our homes. But
on crossing the bridge over the river
at the Lower Bridge, our only direct
way to Kingstree. you will see posted
on the bridge. Stop, look and listen.
and those crossing this bridge
do so at their own risk.
Now Mr. Editor can you tell us
what route to take. These bridges
have been reported to our county
commissioner's time and again and
if I am rightfully informed aiso to
the grand juo* at our last term of
court, yet nothing has been done.
The cry has been no money to work
roaas. Levy more u?.\ei>.
Now you ride on what we call public
road and you see everything from
an ox cart to a Hudson-Super-Six
decorated with beautiful tags costing
from fifty cents to ten dollars. We
call this tag money, and we do hope
o
W. T. Wilkins, who is connected
with the management of the Central
warehouse invites his farmer friends
to bring their tobacco to the Central.?Adv.

Drown While Bathing
??- \
Manning, July 16.?While a party
were in swimming yesterday afternoon
at Home Lake, Mr. Henry C.
Plowilen. affectionately known as
"Chub", lost his life by drowning.
The party had been in the water only
about ten minutes when Chub called
for help. Mr. J. F. Move went to his
assistance and had Chub rest his
hand on his shoulders; while swimming
toward the bank in this position
and before they could get him
in a boat he relaxed his hold on Mr.
Move and sank before helping hands
could seize him.
He never came to the surface after
this and after the party had
searched for the body an hour or
more they came to town for help. A
large crowd went out and after i
searching for three or four hours:
the body was raised and taken to
Manning. There was no water in his :
lungs and it is the generally accepted
opinion that he breathed his last
before he sank as it was known, that
