We beg to suggest to our city au-
thorities the necessity for putting an
end to the needless noise caused by
the automobiles and motorcycles TAX
ing Main street with the mufflers
wide open. 1t is a needless disturb
ance, and could be suppressed with
out hardship to anybody. Every au-
tomobile. motorcycle and motor driven
vehicle should be operated with closed
muffler in the city limits. The city
ordinance, if we mistake not, is quite
specific in forbidding such practice
We respectfully urge that the city
authorities enforce this regulation.
There will be many citizens who will
hold you in lasting remembrance if
you so do.

One feels desirous that all citizens
might be willing to conform to the
law. Nobody desires that anybody
should be made to suffer. But the
blind tiger is least to be pitt:ed, for

gain that is the b hsis of this nefarious

blind tigers were tried in this weeks
court. Some plead guilty, some were
acquitted, some were convicted. One
thing that the blind tiger operators
seem to have overlooked is the fact
that the law now is a dangerous
thing to tamper with. 1t is no longer
possible to violate the law with i'm
punlty. A man who sells whiskey in

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Adopted by Mr.. Joy Lodge, No. 2O3,
of A. F. NJ. Kelton, S. c.

Whereas, it has pleased our Heav-
emily Father, to call from our midst
into rest, our beloved brother, F. M.
Adams, on March 6, 1916, faithful
member of our lodge for a number
of years, great leader with us,
whose council was always good, rec
ognized leader in his church and in
his community, always trying to help
bear the burdens of his neighbor. AS
a Christian, he stood for those things
that are holy, pure and good. AS a
citizen he stood for the things that
were always best. In business, hon
es twith everybody; a man who loved
everybody, and was loved and held in
high esteem by all who knew him;
to know him was to love him. Truly
prince, great man has fallen.
Therefore be it resolved:
1st That we bow at the will of

The farmers of Union county should
be interested in creameries which are
being established under the Extension
Division of Clemson College. Recent
ly there has been established such an
institution in Spartanburg and efforts
are being made to have creamery
routes not only from the various seq
tlons of Spartanburg county, but
from Union county as well. Until
the movement gets fully under wav.
Union could not support such an en-
terprise. There would not be feeders
enough to make it success. But il
Is an easy matter to get into the
Hpartanburg system, and then, when
many farmers are enlisted and the
outlook warrants it, creamery could
be established here. This movemet
on the part Of Clemson College is
one that should lead to great results
Next week we will publish articles
bearing on this subject.

We feel sure that Judge Sease will
receive the commentator of the
worthy citizens of the county in his
strict handling of witnesses. The time
of the court and the inconvenience of
the many is too often interfered with
by the tardy witness. Judge Sease
will have no more of this, but, if nee
essary, will lock such tardy ones in
Jail. He is right in this determina-
ton.
