of q set Of men who work 80 hard as a
rule that they do not take life very

agine the sort Of stuff he talked 1t
was not long before he touched on
George Meredith and expressed olin-
ions which might have caused an cut
burst. Instead Of this, some one sug-
gested deferentally that he talked too
generally; that he would be better COM
pretended if he illustrated his views
by reference to any one Of the nov
els. He thought the suggestion wise
one and left the choice Of the book to
his audience. The original prcposer of
this eminently reasonable plaa imme-
diately suggested 'Tess Of tie DUr-

obligingly accepting the choice. What

s A small boy placed some pepper on
stove during the session OF court in Green
vile last week, and court had to adjourn
8 for awhile. 1t wouldn't be bad idea to
serve the legislature this sort of trick
I provided it would producethe same result
~
81 The most sensible thing the general
assembly has done in some time was the
passing of the bill providing for biennial
sessions of the legislature. This matter
must be submitted to the people before
becoming law, but it is safe to say that
q large majority of the taxpayers will
favor it.
There is q bill before the legislature pro-
siding for an amendment to the constitu-
stion in the matter of forming new coun-
! lies. The bill provides that in the forma-
ton of new counties, old counties shall
not be cut within ten miles of the court
house. It is claimed by some new county
advocates that this bill is a blow at them,
but it ought to pass. New counties should
be formed with due regard for the old
territory, and the limit should be even
more than ten miles fron the old county
seat.

atisement of Radios" sent them by John
Baillie, Of s12 Drexel building, Philadel-

ton. but refused it except for cash in

brother editors not to do the work unless
they get cash in advance, as we have
/ investigated the financial standing OF the
concern, and it was not at all satisfactory.
We feel sure those who do run the adver-
sising will never get paid. We publish
i this information for the protection OF the
country newspapers, and it is a rule all of

against dead-beats and swindlers.

The Beaufort board of trade, in adopting
resolutions condeming lawlessness, said:
saWe believe that the material as well as
the moral welfare of the State is being
1eopardized." The Beaufort board OF trade
! is sound in this belief. Lawlessness in
lures any community but particularly
such sections as are dependent to large
measure on foreign capital and intelli-
gent foreign labor for development. It is
very properly the province OF every trade
Sor; commercial organization OF this State
TO put itself on record against all kinds OF
lawlessness; and for the members OF such
organizations to aid actively in creating
"a sentiment for law and order.-The
State.
All of which is well said and in which
we fully concur. Personally we have
argued along this line to the people OF
this county. Bamberg town and county
has suffered materially from the spirit OF
-lawlessness. We have too many killings
within her borders for our advantages to
prove attractive to new population and
capital.
