A Good Suggestion.

Editor Keowee Courier: We would
like to suggest that the Civic League,
or grand jury. or Supervisor, or
whose ever duty it may be, start the
thought going that Walhalla could
have a more beautiful park around
the Court House. How about saving
the trees, that still live. and starting
some grass to growing?
There Is no good reason why a
temple Of justice should not also be
temple beautiful.
The "calaboose on wheels has
taken its departure. Zone good turn
deserves another"
The Civic League wants a "city
beautiful" Why not start at it's

received instructions from the grand
jury to enforce the laws governing
the operation Of automobiles on the

]ation Of these laws has become so
general that, in the interest OF pub
lie safety, the grand jury has given
strict orders to the county officials to
bring an end to the menace of
"speeding."
The rural policemen do not wish
to arrest any one for violation OF
these laws unless absolutely neces-
sary, and consequently no arrests
will be made for violations in the
past. But for the future
Well, it will be we'll to get q copy
OF the State laws governing the legal
speed at which automobiles may be
operated on the public highways, and
observe it with a very liberal degree
OF circumspection.
The policemen have asked The
Courier to give this publice notice at
this the first opportunity in order
that no one may be taken unawares
in the matter Of speeding" This
notice, and the instructions from the
grand jury, should prove all-suffl-
cient to make any arrests unneces-
sary, unless there is evident intent
on. the part Of the auto drivers to-
wilfully violate the laws.

United States reached the Mexican
embassy here to-day and will be de-
