Magistrate For Bethesda.
There is to be another primary In
Bethesda township for the purpose Of
recommending an appointee for magis-
trate. Mr.. D. P. Curry, who won the
recommendation in the primary last
summer, has decided not to take the
place. When he became a candidate,
it was in the belief that his health
might not improve sufficiently to ena-
BILE him to resume his former service
as R. F.. D. carrier. He Is now much
better, however, and has decided not to
give up his other position. The DEM
ocratic executive committee has put
the matter in the hands of Messrs. P.
NJ. Burris Of McConnellsville, and w.
H. Dunlap Of Ogden, and the under
standing is that they will call an elec-
ton to be held on Saturday, February
4. Candidates will have to qualify on
or before Wednesday, February 1.
carroII-Youmans.
Atlanta Georgian, Wednesday: A
home wedding of interest to an unu-
sually wide circle Of friends was that
Of Miss Lilly Pearl Youmans Of Nunez,

c.. which took place at the home Of the

mony was performed by Rev. e. Spi-
vey Of Meter. and was witnessed by a

Of Emanuel county and popular in the

Young man socially. The bridal marty

To Improve the Court House.
Rock Hill Record: Mr.. N. c. Walk
w the county commissioners to make
a report on improving the court house
ut Yorkville. recommends tearing out
the interior and rebuilding all Of the
offices. From our observation Of the
matter Mr.. Walkers recommendation
IS good one. The ceilings Of the
present building are very low and the
windows so small that they give
scarcely any light. causing the oc-
"upants to have to burn electric or
artificial lights all the time, and the
way in which the walls are built makes
It almost impossible to place a filing
ease or anything Of that kind. If
this could be all taken out and the
interior put in first-class condition 1t
would give practically modern court
house at very small cost, as we un-
derstand the improvements can be
made for about $4,000. where new
building would cost at least $4,000.
Therefore the improvements could be
made for the interest on what new
court house would cost.
Mr.. Beamsuard's Bill Killed.
There was considerable debate in the
house Wednesday, says the Columbia
Record, over Mr.. Beamguard's bill to
provide for the registry Of chattel
reported unfavorablv by a majority of
the judiciary committee, a minority
consisting Of Messrs. Geo. S. Mower
and A. q. Brice making favorable re-
port. The measure would reduce the
filing fee to 15c. and make 1t suf-
ficient record for such documents,
without reference to the amount, to
enter upon an index kept for that pur-
pose, the names Of mortgagor and
mortgage, the amount and character
of the debt secured" and a brief de-
scription Of the chattel pledged.
Messrs. Stevenson. Davis, Belser and
others attacked the bill, saying the
record proposed would not give suffi-
cient protection. Mr.. McDow thought
the bill a good one. He said 1t would
s50.000 a year. He did not think any
Great inroads would he made by the
bill upon the income Of the AZ county
clerks Of court. Mr.. Osborne said II
was a dangerous measure, and would
lead to loss and litigation. Mr.. K. P.
Smith moved for continuance to next
session. An aye and nay vote was
taken. and by vote Of 68 to 46 the bill
was carried over.
The Hoodtown Section.
A citizen of Hickory Grove, who was
in Yorkville a few days ago, told the
reporter about a recent trip that he
made through the Hoodtown section
and how he was impressed with what
he saw. 1T was the first time I had
been in that neighborhood for ten or
twelve years, and I was very much as
tonished at what saw. 1t Is my rec
ollection that on the occasion Of my
former visit the situation Of the neigh
borhood was anything but encourag-
ing. A good many Of the old estab-
lished residents had gone off to cotton
mills and elsewhere, and those who
were left were very much worried as
to where they could find labor to work
their farms. Some of them were not
particular, however, because they could
not see much chance anyway. But
now 1t is another country. 1t seems to
me that there are three times as many
houses as there used to be, and many
of them are neatly painted and sur
rounded with every appearance Of
comfort. Improved agricultural i'm
