The rule against the sheriff of
Kerehaw county to show cause why
he should not be removed from of?
fice for neglect of doty In falling to
enforce the law against the snle of
liquor will have a sn.utary effect upon
all the sheriffs In the State. In re?
cent years a majority of sheriffs have
come to regard the o'Mce as ?l sort of
sinlcure. requiring little activity and
calling for no inlt'atlve. The sheriffs
have labored tinder an Impression
that they had done their full duty
when they served papers placed in
their hands and made arrests on
warrants sworn out ?>y citizens. Few
of them have sought out law break?
ers of made an effort to prevent the
violation of law. Liquor sellers in
particular and other laWl BfSphill ir. ,
general, who carried on their illegal
activities with reasonable regard for
the superficial properties, were seldom j
molested, unless a private cltiren
made complaint. The sheriffs have
been loath to work up cases, obtain
evidence and bind over witnesses on
their own initiative and the custom has
gradually become fixed for the sher?
iffs to wait for specific instances of
law breaking to be pointed out to
them. Oov. Manning has adopted a
policy that will vitalise the law and
revivify the sheriffs, forcing them to
realise that It Is their duty to see
that the law IS obeyed and that

T!k> World's Croat Literary Blbhs.
Rending Course* No. I.
Among all the books of the world a
few are so preeminent for content and
styl? that they have ben called the j
Literary Flble?. These are the Haid .
and the Odyssey of Homer, the Divine
Comedy a| Dante, the greater dram?
as of Shake-q< , re. and Goethe's
Faust. Each or these is the embodi?
ment and revelation of the ideals of
a race, an age, 01 a civilization. They j
came out of the hearts and minds of
the people, for whom their authors
were only the spokesmen. They are
therefore simple, fundamental, and
comprehensive. They appeal to the
hearts and grip the minds of all peo?
ple everywhere, young and old. learn- |
ed and unlearned, of whatever root er
creed. They are human books' and
take tirm bold ^n the human lift
which 'Vo nil live which few under*j
stand, but which in all its phases ha.
'interest without end." They are
broad minded, catholic books. Their
authors saw life steadily and saw it
whop-. Kings und priests to God and
humanity, they interpreted for man
the eternal mysteries. Prophetic
men. they stood on the mountain tops
and caught the glow of the ever
dawning new day. Finely organl"Ml
men. they felt the heart-throb t?nd
pulse beat of the human race, and |
understood the hopes and fears and
aspirations of humanity better than 1
most, and have set these to the music!
of rhythmic, winged words.
I These books should be read by all
w ho would kaow the world's literature
and life. The United States Bureau
of Education has. therefore, chosen
them for Its first course in reading,
and Invites all serious-minded young 1
men and women to Join this, its first

Mrs. R. N. Cribb, 112 Kendrick St., j

I was afflicted with dizzy spells and
Other symptoms of kidney trouble.
When I heard about Doan's Kidney
