Urges Law Enforcement. Diff

Law" said Geo. D. Tillman,
quarter of a century ago, was not
made to be enforced" What is it
made for, said l. For the poor, the
timid, the ignorant, said Mr.. Till
man. Why the first thing the ad-
ministrators of the law do when q
law is passed, is to find a way around
it, and as the Col. said this with his
characteristic emphasis he made
gesture with his right hand in the
form of a circle to enforce his idea
of getting around the enforcement
of law. We were younger then than
now, and thought the Col's. ideas
a little extreme, but experience has
taught me that he was nearer right
than 1 then supposed. The only
thing l remember about Seab
Wright's great speech at Edgefeld
more than a year ago was when he
said, that the great problem before
the American people of to-day is the
enforcement of law" Let the peo-
pie who enforce law and want it en-
forced study this statement for there
is more in it than you possibly
think.
Edgefeld county is to be con-
graduated upon the election of Col.
S. B. Mays as president of the Good
Roads Association, who will, so I
am informed, endeavor to broaden
out the offices of this association
by enlisting the several commune
ties in the different townships max
ing the county. We need some good
solid ground work in building up
this good roads idea, and Col. Mays
is not a recent convert to this idea,
but one who has been faithful for
score of years. Let every one inter-
ested help Col. Mays, and his assist
ants in this good work.
Cotton is opening very rapidly,
and the people are having some
trouble in getting it ginned. The
Plum Branch ginnery I am told,
using gins,. turned out or ginned
10 bales one day last week.

Mr.. w. w. Fowler who is an in
defatigable worker called together
the executive committee of the west
side fair association of which he is
chairman, Saturday afternoon last
to complete the list of cash prizes,
and other matters pertaining to the
association. 1t was announced, that
Clemson would send experts tojudge
the live stock and that Commissioner
Watson of Columbia, would be
with us, and possibly Congressman
Byrnes and Tom Watson. If all
these big guns come we will have
the oratorical pyrotechnics as we'll
as an excellent display of exhibits,
which will appeal in some of its
phases, to the taste of the most
fastidious. So prepare to come one
and all.
Rev. T. II. Garrett was called

The B. Y. P. U. last night was

ston, who is on a visit to her moth
er, Mrs. L. f. Dorm.
Miss Penn, from Trenton one of

Rehoboth now of Mccormick last
Friday in our town. He was on his

Mr.. o. D. White, the duke of
White Town, paid Parksville an
honored visit on last Saturday. He
ought to come oftener than he does.
