4 RECORD BROKEN.

Although very enviable record has
been broken at last, a negro having
died from gunshot wound Sunday
night, Laurens county can we'll be
proud of her criminal record for the
past twelve months. Possibly no 9TH
er county in the state can boast of
such record as we have made. Just
TWO weeks more without homicide
and this county would have gone an
entire year without single one of
her citizens being maliciously sent in
TO eternity by fellow man With the
exception of the case near the bound
airy line where two Newberry negroes
crossed the line and got into a diff
Guilty, one killing the other some
months ago, we have been entirely
free of homicides since November 2Sth
OF last year. Truly it is a record TO
be proud of.
Several different agencies have
worked together to contribute to this
healthy condition of affairs. In the
first place we believe that the county
wide law-abiding spirit of the people
is due in large measure to the abol-
ition of the dispensary. When the
supply of whiskey is reduced there is
always reduction in crime. Since
there has been reduction in the
sale of whiskey. consequent upon the
abolition of the dispensary, the ma
tural result has been made evident
Crime has been reduced.
Another agency which has contrib
uted to the reduction OF crime has
been the vigilance of the officers of
the law. The rural policemen have
been very successful in keeping down
rowdyism at negro gatherings and at
cross roads meeting places. No chance
has been given for the rowdies to
create disturbances and few fights
among the negroes have resulted.
while the rural police have not often
had occasion to stop disturbances
among white people, yet, whenever
there seemed to them possibility of
an oncoming conflict, they have been
present. to keep order. The magIs-

SNAKES TO PREVENT PLAGUE

cation of serpents to XIII Flea.
Bearing Rats.

In a recent article on the plague,
Professor Sombon, of the London
School Of Tropical Diseases. makes the
curious suggestion that. instead Of
trusting to cats and dogs as animal
assistants In the war on rats. we
should take a lesson from antiquity
and again make domestic pets of the
big nonvenomous snakes The pro-
fessor even goes so far as to hint the
Esculapian serpent was an object OF
widespread respect for the excellent
reason that it killed the rats that
brought the fleas that infected men
probably with more plaques than one.
This theory involves the belief that
the ancients knew lot about the ma
ture, cause and transmission of dis
ease that was afterward forgotten and
only recently rediscovered 1t will
probably not be accepted by many, but
whether true or not, Professor Som
bon. whether seriously or not, does
make out quite case for the flreside
snake as ratkiller Judiciously Sc
lected. it's efficiency would be beyond
question, and 1t would not, like both
cats and dogs. itself provide the fatal
flea with convenient shelter and pas
turage.-New York Times.

MAY 1T NEVER RETURN.

The carnival has gone. Express
sions Of satisfaction that it is out of
the city are heard on every side. The
consensus of opinion is that it never
should have been allowed in the city.
Doubtless If ii had been known that
license was going to be applied for
such protests would have been made
that the Council would not have grant
ed the license. As it is, there is no
need of crying over split milk. But one
thing that the Council should by this
time have become aware of and that
is that the people of this city do not
want such attractions even if they do
pay into the city treasury a measely
$3.50 license. Even the preachers in
our churches, who generally do not
like to project themselves into the
'city's AFFAIRS, have expressed their in
dignatiOn at the action of council and
one of them said Sunday night that
''If you men want to get something
here next year, do not get anything
like that you had last week" The
people are against 1t and their wishes
should be respected. Rumors have
been going around that the same earn
ical wants to come back at some early
date and still other rumors have it
that another and bigger carnival is
headed this way. We hope that the
Council will keep the wishes OF the
people 1t represents in mind and refuse
to grant another License If 1t is asked
for. No price whatsoever should in
duce the Council to allow another one
to come again. Let's sound the death
knell OF carnivals

Tough Elbows.

At time Of the day when nobody
was at home In a New York tenement
except women and babies search was
made through the building for girl
who had never worn elbow sleeves
There was time when 1 would have
been eligible myself, but the styles OF
the last few years have disqualified

found on this visit baby who needed
bath right on the spot. had no
thermometer to test the temperature
of the water, and there was none in
the building. The hand and face are
no guide, because they have become
toughened through exposure. There
was a time when the elbow was an
infalliblo guide for baby's bath.
What fell comfortable to the elbow
felt comfortable TO baby. But alas,
elbow sleeves have impaired the use
iulness Of that natural thermometer.
That elbow test can be relied on now
adays only when you find an elbow
that never shed its long sleeves"

trates' officers and the sheriff's deputy
have all been especially diligent in
their duties during the past year. In
fact as a rule our county officers have
done exceedingly well in the past few
months. Though severely crippled on
account OF their fewness in number,
the city police have done good work
and very little michief has been going
on in the city that has not been at
tended to with dispatch.
And then, taking 1t all in all, there
is growing respect for the law in this
county. The people are becoming
more and more Of a healthy, peace low
ing, law abiding and thrifty class. They
are attending to their own business,
prospering as they should and letting
other peoples affairs take care of
themselves. No longer do they find
1t necessary to get on spree and
shoot up the town to have good time
If they desire day of pleasure they
er at the school houses and at the
church and at the fairs, discuss topics
of the day, look at the fine stock and
agricultural products, have speeches
and songs, mix socially together, have
nice bountiful dinner and then go
home to think about the pleasures OF
the day well spent, with renewed de-
termination to live better life, do
more for their neighbors, love one an
other and trust 70 the future
Some have predicted that the year
has been an exceptional one and that
wave of crime once started will ov-
erspread the county We do not be-
lieve so. Surely we hope not The
time of rowdyism has passed and we
believe that in the years to come crime
will decrease even more than it has
in the past

to fill the position of county treas

And in me you will find an honest

Hast ever handled public funds?"
No, but again assure thee of my
honesty"
Friend" continued the speaker for
the delegation, thou art honest be-

an honest man and he'll either take all
or none, and the chances are about

SCALING A FISH ISN'T EASY
Task That Requires Courage of High
Degree, Together With Machinery
and Patience.

In some places when you buy fish
1t Is cleaned for you. But sometimes
you have to clean fish yourself. For
the benefit of those who may have to
clean fish 1t may be said that you
need a road scraper and an AK. II
there Is anything that clings closer
than fish's sca.es 1t is not generally
known and flint and granite and NIL
ser's heart are Jelly as compared to
the backbone Of fish for hardness.
After you have scaled a fish people
are always kind enough to come for
ward and tell you how it should have
been done. But If you plunge In your
self without a.vice or counsel you are
apt to emerge with the scales Of the
fish transferred from him to you.
Scales stick to your eyebrows, to your
eyelashes; they are entanglet in your
hair. Your arms are mass Of scales.
Your clothes are covered with them.
III you happen to clean the fish on the
back porch of a seaside cottage on a
summer day when mosquitoes are
thick your misery beggars description.
If you can't get your fish cleaned for
you 1t is best to frown upon taste
for fish in the family. II this doesn't
work and you must get fish and you
must clean them choose kinds that
haven't any scales. Some fish are con-
s!derate enough to grow without
scales. They are jus. as good to eat
or good enough, anyway. and why
transform yourself into the likeness
of mermaid without any Of the fun
of being one. simply to induce fish
to part with its scales.

THIEVES ABROAD LAST WEEK.
Four Places of Business Entered and
Goods Taken from Them-No Trace
of Them

Four Places of Business Entered and
Goods Taken from Them--NO Trace
of Them.
Thursday night four stores of the
city were entered by thieves and vary
ing quantities of goods taken. The
stores were those OF w. Fl. Hudgens
& Co., Clardy G Wilson, The Laurens
Mill Store and Blakeley's Beef Mar
ket. In Clardy& Wilson'S store they
took seven or eight suits of clothes
ana a number of pairs of shoes. The
cash drawer was broken into but for
tunatcly all the cash had been stored
IN the safe. In Hudgens' store it is
hard to tell what was taken. A num-
Der of things were missed from the
Laurens Mill Store, but the amount
OF loss is unknown. Very little was
taken from Blakeley's market.
The thieves used brace and bit and
bored holes entirely around the locks.
taking them completely out. 1t must
have taken them the larger part Of
the night to cover the town like they
did. After they got what they wanted
they made their escape. The officers
think that they have a pretty good
clue as to who did the work and
where they are. An arrest Will be
made as soon as more definite infor-
nation is gotten.
