condition of the roads near Sumter
will be serious matter two weeks
from now.
BESIDES there is another good rea-
son: The monument to the Women
of the Confederacy will be unveiled
in Columbia on the 11th, just two
days before County School Day. Very
few children can attend both so close
together. If they go to Columbia on
Thursday they will be totally unfit to
so to Sumter Saturday. The two
should not clash for just as many Of
the school children of the State as
can afford the very low rate should
go to Columbia. In my humble opin-
ion a day spent by boy or girl Of
IL to Is years old attending the un.
yelling Of this noble monument and
participating in the historic exercises
Of this occasion will be worth more to
the child and to the future welfare
of the State than the day at school.
For this reason l trust the County
School Day will be postponed, and
that every school in the county will
be represented at the unveiling by
as many boys and girls and teachers
as can possibly secure the means to
go. Then when they return let each
boy and girl submit a narrative Of
what they see for the next Fridays
composition. The undersigned hereby
offers to the boy and girl between
the ages Of 10 and IA who writes the
best composition describing the trip

Some Random Thoughts.

My trip to Hampton and Jasper
counties last week gave good op-
portunity to see the country and the
roads, for Go miles was by buggy
from Allendale In Barnwell County
across Hampton to Ridgeland. the
county site Of the baby county OF
Jasper. About 80 miles Of the road
was as good as the Bishopville- Kings
tree road along the eastern side Of
Black River. There is very little
clay in reach Of the road workers Of
that section. hence they have no
voads that have been ruined as some
of ours have been by too much clay.
Speaking of roads: The Wedge
field correspondent said recently that
last year when our roads were COM
paratively good there was much talk
about Good Roads. Now they are
almost impossible nothing Is said.
That Is easily explained: 1t is like
the mountaineer whose wagon tail
gate gave way at the top of a long
steep hill and his load Of apples went
rolling down the hill. Being a man
given to strong language a friend said
why don't you say something John (?
He replied, Il have no cuss words
adequate TO the situation " That
about describes the roads for several
miles east OF Sumter.
1t must be because OF the great
er depth to clay In the Barnwell-
Hampton section. for they say 1t has
rained some CD down there, that
they are far more advanced with
their farm work. Some plowing was
being done while the land was too
wet. but nothing like the amount Of
wet plowing down there that there is
In this section.
Upstate the week before, people
could not turn out because of bad

they were so busy putting down cane

been wrong to have them stop for

Pickens the writer will make no more
appointments until crops are laid by.

CRIMINAL USE OF THE MAILS.

1t is an offense which can be punished by
prison sentence to use the mails for the
purpose of soliciting criminal medical
practice, or to dispose of medicine or in
struments used in such practice. Recently
the government under the direction OF the
Postoffice Department caused the arrest OF
one hundred and seventy three persons in
seventv-two towns and cities located in
twenty-nine States, for violation OF this
wholesome law. The Department had been
for over six months accommodating the evil
dence against these enemies of society,
and had planned the arrest of 80 many on
one day as notice to all such offenders
that they are engaged in dangerous as
we'll as despicable business. That some of
those caught in the tolls of the Govern
ment Inspectors had borne good reputa-
tons in their local communities only en-
phasizes the need of such work as the
Department has undertaken. Postmaster
General Hitchcock claims that in the past
two years the Government has put out OF
business concerns which had mulcted the
people out of more than 100000, 900 by
frauds perpetrated through the use of the
mails, and that large number OF the pro-
moters ef fraudulent schemes are now
serving time in prison. Let the good work
90 on, and let the people not multced learn
wisdom from the bitter experience OF those
who have been duped.

A Smokehouse Revival.

Louisville Courier-Journal.1
Officials connected with the Missouri
Department of Agriculture have begun
campaign to revive the rural smoke
house.
The old-time smokehouse is a good in
stitution, but in Missouri, as in other States,
it is about to perish from the earth. 1t
dates back to that halcyon period when
every farmer felt it incumbent to put up
winter supply, some of which, barring &C
cidents, was sure to last until the revolu-
ton of the seasons brought recurrence of
hog killing time in the following year. The
tremendous expansion of the packing in
dustry has carried the products of the
packing houses to the village groceries and
the crossroads stores, and on many of the
farms the once essential smokehouse has
disappeared and most of the farmers of to-
day do not feel it incumbent to follow the
customs of their forebears in storing and
curing large quantities of meats for family
consumption.
1t would be we'll if there should be re-
vival of the rural smokehouse. Science
has never discovered a better method of
curing meats, and the best packing house
ham in no way compares in quality with
the hams which we're cured by the PRINT
tive but effective methods which prevailed
in the days when every farmer "lived at
home and boarded at the same place. and
had bacon to keep if not to sell. If Mis-
souri's sham and bacon shows" held I'M

and happiness and will add much to the
