Censorship for Movies.

The movies may be subjected to
"censoring" if bill which promi-
ncnt member Of the lower house is
contemplating introducing becomes
law. This legislator who is a very
careful and painstaking investigator,
is looking into the situation and may
draft bill for presentation at the
coming session. 1t is probable that
such bill would call for board OF
censors in each town, and if this board
does not serve without pay revenue for
paying them would probably be pro-
Vidcd through a tax on the picture
shows. In this connection it should
be made plain that there has been no
complaints Of the movies" in Colum-
bia.

rails upon an industry, it is the deep

Attention, Gi;ls!

Four Of the officials Of the State
Government are bachelors" and as
such attract more than the usual
amount of interest when they afc
called TO various parts Of the State
on official or private business. All of
them are we'll known, viz, Comptroller
General Carlton W. SAWYER Attorney
General Thos. Fl. Peoples, Assistant
Attorney General Fred II. Dominick
and Lieutenant Governor Andrew j.
Bethea. Although all Of them are pop
ular with the fair sex there has been
no animation as to which of the
quartette contemplatcs being the first
to break into double harness, that is,
if any such step has entered into their
calculations. All four are young men
with promise OF promotion before
them. The Comptroller General is a
native OF Orangcburg, but spent the
greater part Of his boyhood and all of
his manhood in Columbia. The Attor-
ney General is a native Of Blackvlle
and the Assistant Attorney General
comes from Newborry. The Lieuten-
ant Governor is a native of Dillon
county, but has been living in Colum-
bia ever since he first became private
secretary to Governor Anscl. In this
connection it is known that Mr.. Dom
mick will run for Congress next sum
mcr against Congressman Wyatt Aiken
in the 3rd district.

Fake Employment bureaus,

Several boys from South Carolina
went West this summer to work in the
harvest fields and they will be inter
cstcd in the following clipped from the
Greenville Piedmont:
Browning Goldsmith left Greenville
this morning for Wichita, Kans., where
he is to appear as witness for the
State against the Bccbce Employment
Bureau Of that city.
About month ago Goldsmith and
Sam Taylor were in Wichita and ap-
piled to the Employment Bureau for
jobs in the wheat fields. The bureau
accepted a dollar from each Of them
and sent them on Il wild goose chase
to nearby town. The Job which had
been bought and paid for, failed to
matcrializc, so the two young men
raised a howl. State officials, having
had several similar complaints, took
the matter in hand, and after due in
vestigation, closed up the bureau and
arrested the propriet0rs.
Every year in the West unscruDll-
lous employment bureaus take advan-
tage OF innocent unemployed harvest
hands and send them to jobs which do
not exist, after extracting the usual
fee. This illegal practice has been
more prevalent this year than ever be
fore and authorities are dctermin ed
to put stop to it. The trial in Wichi-
Ia is only one of a great many of sim
liar nature that are being conducted

There has been good deal Of inter-

Some of the aspirants for the United

while others think that Mr.. Lever has
solidified himself by this declaration.
