county has reported its tax levies for

He reports that there are but very

RELIEF IN sight.
Local Train from Charleston to Fay
elteYille TO be Put on Again Monday.

1t was authoritatively stated
by Atlantic Coast Line railway
officials last night that Trains
Nos 7S and 10, between
Charleston and Fayetteville,
would be re-established on
their old run, beginning Mon
day, December 6. These two
trains were suspended during
the first days of the past month,
and after Palmetto LII mited
Nos SO and sc, from New York
to Florida, had been put into
operation. The new train was
scheduled to do local duty be-
tween Charleston and Fayette-
Vile in places of Nos rs and
70, but the experiences OF the
month OF November demonstrate
ed conclusively that the heavy
through train was unable to
do the local work without
greatly impairing its schedule.
Much complaint Was made by
traveller:Iand shippers along
the linr from Fayetteville to
Charles on because of the late
ness o. the Palmetto Limited.
The Inauguration of the old
trains will relieve the through
train of the local work and will
no doubt prove a satisfactory
solution of the problem to all
concerned. Nos IS ana 70 will,
when again put into opera
ton, have about the same
schedule as before. The figures
will be given out for publica-
ton within the next few
DAYS. News d: Courier.

the county and the school fund,
in the ratio of one-third each.
But the county board has been
ordered by Auditor West to pay
out no funds except for actual
running expenses until the matter
of overcharges has been adjusted
between the State dlspensary
"winding.up" commission and the
whisky houses. And so the
matter stands. The money II the
banks being temporarily deposited
subject to check, is drawing no
interest; the liquor houses are
kept out of their money and the
towns and the countys share of
the funds will be held up IN
definitely. Moreover. should ex-
tended litigation grow out of the
remarkable assumption of au-
thorlty that the "winding-up''
commission has arrogated to it
self, there is no telling how
much (or how little) will be left
after the lawyers fees have been
taken out.
Altogether it seems that the
State dispensary commission,
which has really done great
deal of good work and saved
tie State many thousands of
dollars, has gone a step too far
in their latest move. Whether or
not they have legal authority to
back up their position, We doubt
their moral right to meddle into
the affairs of the county dis
pensaries. All over the State the
commission is being adversely
criticized for their action in this
matter. The people resent their
interfering with the affairs of the
county dispensaries.

We Do Not Complain, but

The action of the city council
of Spartanburg is significant.
There are four newspapers pub
lished in the city and heretofore
the license fee has been ten
dollars. The new council, re-
gardlpg the newspaper as "the
greatest asset town can have, "
has removed all license, taking
the position that it Is to the
towns best interest to help
rather than hinder the efforts of
the press to up-build the COM
munity.
Moreover, We are informed that
the town of Spartanburg pays
its three secular newspapers two
hundred dollars year each
six hundred dollars in all-for
publishing ordinances and other
official matter. Surely it seems
worth while to publish news
paper in progressive Spartan.
burg, the "Pearl of the Pied
mont"
We are not complaining, yet
still we cannot help but contrast
the attitude of Spartanburg to-
ward its newspapers with that
of the municipality of Kings
tree toward the. one newspaper,
not only in the town but in all
the county, that has weathered
the storms of adversely and
financial disaster in maintaining
it's struggle for existence. The
Record has watched Kingstree
grow from a struggling village
into a town of fair proportions
and in every way possible has
added the weight of its influence
toward its up-building. The
growth of the town has been re-
markable, really exceeding our
fondest anticipations, and there
are yet untold possibilities for
future development. Far be it
for us TO claim that to The
Record is due the credit for
even small fraction of what
has been accomplished, but we
do say, in all truth and sincerity,
that we have done our best, year
in and year out, toward that end
and We are just as we'll pleased

A Step too Far.

The Kiugstree dispensary board
met here Monday. They are now
getting things in shape for the
final closing up of the affairs of
the dlspensary system in this
county, which will be in the
near future, unless complications
and delay should result from the
State dispensarY "winding-up''
commission stepping in and hold
ing up claims against certain
whisky houses from which the
county board purchased goods.
The claims are held up on the
ground that the county boards
were oyercharged by these whisky
houses.
According to Our information
the county dispensary board now
has deposited in banks about
$4,000 in cash, $4,000 of
which is net profit to be ap.
portioued among the three towns
where dispensaries were operated,

that the thing we wished for has J

that the thing we wished for has
come to pass as if we got the
credit for it all. The fact is
nearly every citizen of the town
has done his part and the de-
sired end has been attained by
ali pulling together. Yet who
can say that some OF this spirit
of achievement, at least, was not
prompted or intensified by the in
fluence of the newspaper.
Spartanbur9 has taken of the
license from all its of ewspapers.
Kingstree year or two ago in
creased the license for publish
ing local newspaper from eight
to ten dollars, resembling the ae-
tion of former council that
seemed to appreciate newspapers.
Spartanburs pays six hundred
dollars for publishing ordinances,
ETC.. while fifty dollars a year,
we believe, would cover every
cent of patronage this newspaper
receives from the municipality of
Kingstree.
As was stated at tie outset,
we DO not mean to complain.
Our relations with the members
of the council are entirely
pleasant, both officially and
personally. We 90 not believe
that there is any intention to
deal with us illiberally and, after
all, they have just as much right
to increase the newspaper license
as the Spartanburg council has
to repeal it.
The city fathers have done
many things to be proud of
within the past few years and We
believe that they are as careful
and economical in the conduct
of the towns business as they
are in their private affairs. The
license they charge US, or the
ordinances they Withhold from
our advertising columns, will
never cause US to lose sight of the
progressive spirit they have shown
and the many things they have
done in the way Of permanent
improvement to ado to the beauty
and comfort of the town.

this issue the State supreme court

finding of the State board OF
carvassers in the Rutledge comfy
election contest aad it is i'm

the outcome. 1t may be tha: the
whole election will be declared
null and void and another elec.

possibility in view and the eS-
perience fresh in their minds of
being disfranchised on account OF
no. having registration certificates,
it would be strange indeed if the
voters in the affected area shonld
be caught again in the same
predicament. Yet We venture to
say that if the election were
held next week there would be
scores of citizens of the voting
area disqualified on account of not
being properly registered, or not
having their tax receipts at hand.

The owl Cnme nncl,.

A great white horned boot owl es-
capped from the Bronx ZOO in New
York. He came back once for a visit
which nearly resulted in the death Of
Keeper Brady, who tried to bag him
with a butterfly net and fell Off the
aviary. After three months he was
seen sitting on the wire-covered roof
one morning just after dawn. The
World thus tells the story:
The big fellow had not returned
alone. In his beak he had nice lit
tie prairie dog. This explained why
several members of the prairie dog
colony have been missing of late.
The other blinkety-blink members of
the family nodded familarly to the
returned wanderer and welcomed him
by nibbling at his toes through the
wires. The great owl, however, did
not go inside, for there was no en-
trance open for him.
Director Hornaday was informed
and he Immediately set about recaptur-
ing the big bird. A bright idea occur
red to him. In the center Of the
aviary Is a tall tree with branches
reaching to the roof of the aviary. Dl-
rectly over where 1t touched the cell
Ing Of the cage sat the great white
horned owl, his talons fastened in the
wires. The South American condor,
perched near the top, was disrespect-
fully pushed off the tree by Brady,
who had Skinned up the trunk, taking
1t for granted that the owl couldn't
see much in the daylight. Brady car
ried with him two loops Of copper wire
and a pair of pinchers.
Arriving at the top he slipped the
loops around two toes of the truant
and drew the slip nooses taut, twisting
the ends together. That was enough
to hold the great horned one for
while.
1t was easy to bag him from above
and Brady then released his talons. 1t
may be remarked that Mr.. Owl took
his prairie dog with him into the
aviary and that Mr.. Condor from the
Andes was bit too late, although he
got part Of second joint.

field he was without a rival, and to a,

artistic sense of beauty and genius

He was the first carver to give an.

either the lifelike representation of a

the past season Henry Miller has pre-.

triumphs in eastern and middle west

send the play on a tour to the Pacific

He has retained four of the first COM

and chosen the other three players from
the western company.
