WAS carried to the Columbia hospital
Wednesday night with the cheek bone
and lower jaw bone on one side OF his
race broken. lie was also In partial.
~ unconscious condition. The manner
in which WeSsinger met with his In.
jury Is something OF mystery. He
lives at 300 Elmwoo avenue and
wednesday morning he started for the
dispensary to begin work at the usual
time. Later on he staggered back to
his house bruised and bleeding and
entirely unconscious. He was carried
to Dr. Gibbs 1tiice Wh2re bis wounds
We're dressed and he was removed to

A Forgotten Law.
!: OF the many laws Of tht

of the many laws Of the state
that has fallen into disuse is that re.
lating to the care and preservation O,
trees along the highways. Section
a59 OF the code reads as follows:
whoever shall wilfully or wantonly
cat down or kill any tree growing
within ten feet of any read which NAV
bn laid out, altered or mendcd by
authority OF the county supervisor OF
any county, which shall, by direction
OF the highway surveyor in charge OF
such road, have been left standing az
convenient for shade to the said road
fJr each tree SO cut down or killed
shall be fined twenty five dollars at
any court Of competent jurisdiction.'
II this law we're enforced we would
soon have beautiful highways in every
section of every county in the state,
And besides, the shade would make
travelling on the highways more pleas
ant In summer and the trees would
protect the roads fro washing in the
winter. 1t seems a great pity that
this law is not enforced.

the execution being Feb. 5th. Not In

view the sentences OF the court is
vested In the legislature as we'll as
ohe executive and the legislature hav.
ing iailed to act at its last sessions the
