A Good Time Coming.
Fort Mill Times: Sheriff Brown has
according to a report from Yorkville
put the people of this county on notice
that 1t Is his purpose to put all moon
sinners in his territory out OF business
and everybody who knows the sherin
is satisfied that he fully intends to
make good. The sentiment in favor OF
enforcing laws Of all kinds, especially
those against murder, stealing, etc., Is
more healthy than ever before and the
outlook now is that the time is not far
off when the murderer will go to the
gallows and the thief to the peniten-
tiary in this county, regardless of color
of skin or social or financial standing
Not Good for Calves.
Mr.. John L. Stacy Of Glover, has
paid the price to learn that nitrate of
soda Is not good for livestock and he
wants other people to know 1t free OF
charge. IT lost calf a day or two
ago." said Mr.. Stacy. "The animal
took sick suddenly, swelled up to con-
siderably more than its normal size
and died within a few hours. ]
thought the trouble must be due to
something the calf had eaten; but was
considerably puzzled until Mrs. Starr
Stacy remembered to have seen the
calf drinking water from a kettle In
which I had soaked an empty nitrate
of soda sack. The calf had gotten into
the yard by accident"
Road Duty In Cherokee.
Cherokee News: There were many
disappointed people last Monday. The
board of county commissioners met to
pass on applications for exemptions
from road duty. More than sixty ap-
plicants were turned down. Where
the certificate was not definite and
there was reason to believe that the
person was able to do road duty, there
was no exemption. The road tax Is
but one dollar. To be exempt from IL
one must have q physicians certificate
and must lose a day in appearing be-
fore the board. If people would try as
hard to pay that small tax as they try
to dodge it they would find that 1t
" ould be an easier job.
