CRUSADE is BEING WAGED
AGAINST FUNERAL PlUMES


LONDON, Nov. 22.--The latest cru-
SADIE in the effort to end needless
sufferings of animals is directed
against the nlumes with which it is
the custom to decorate the heads of
horses in funeral professions.
Undertakers and the Royal Socie-
ty for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals are uniting in this attempt.
The plumes, it is found, sometimes
weigh fourteen pounds each. The
British Undertakers' Association has
decided the plumes are cruel and I'M
necessary.

Hail Storm in the County.

Parties returning to Fort Mill
Monday afternoon on passenger
train No. 28 reported much hail
in the terrific rainstorm that
swept over the lower section of
York county between 5 and 6
o'clock. The heaviest downpour
occurred about mile below Rock
Hill, where it was stated that
considerable damage was done
to early garden truck and such
OF the cotton that was above the
ground. A little of the rain fell
in Fort Mill and vicinity, but it
was manifestly the edge of a
heavier downpour farther to the
south.

The Carlin Act.

The first violation of the new
Federal law-known as the Car
lin Act was the stealing of an
express package in one of the
Chicago depots resulting i'm the
arrest of the offender and placing
him under So, 00C bail. This act
imposes a maximum fine of
80. 600 or imprisonment of not
more than ten years for any
person convicted of unlawfully
breaking into any railway car
containing Interstate or foreign
shipments of freight or express
or OF stealing or obtaining by
fraud or deception from any car.
depot, platform, vessel or wharf
any freight, express or baggage
which constitutes or is part of
interstate OF foreign shipment.
While the Carlin Act in no way
lnfrlnges on the jurisdiction of
the State courts, it puts the
whole power of the Federal
Department of Justice behind
the detection and prosecution OF
persons guilty Of stealing from
cars or depots since it will be
practically impossible for thieves
to distinguish between intrastate
and Interstate shipments. AS
the Carlin Act becomes better
known and understood, the petty
crook will look upon an express
package in transit with the same
reverence and awe as he has
been taught to respect all mail
matter, however tempting its
purlolnlng may be to his criminal
instincts.

Counterfeit Paper Money.

The dangerous counterfeit In
dian five-dollar silver certificates
recently discovered continue in
circulation, despite the vigilance
of secret service and treasury
officials. The notes, which are
almost perfect limitations of the
genuine ones, are finding their
way through banks and sub
treasures. The secret service
operators have redoubled their
efforts to find the counterfeiters.
The notes are printed on genuine
paper, obtained by washing one
dollar bills. Government Of
ficials believe that the maker of
the notes is the same counter
feiter who for months circulated
bogus one dollar bills throughout
the country. :

Blease Calls in Constabulary.

AS a result of the decision of
the Supreme court on the Webb

to his constables telling them
that he would have no use for
their services after the first of
June.
When asked about the decision
of. the Supreme court in the
Webb case, and its effect upon
his policy, the Governor said.
