yard, or have it at the Library and a
committee will see that it is proper
~ taken care Of. The birds sanctuar-

that ninety per cent Of our bird life
has been destroyed? Let us protect

NEW CEMETERY FENCE ERECT
Iron Replaces Wood Which Stood for
Fifty-Seven Years at Salem, Black
River.

Salem, Black River, Jan. III. P.
Commander of Sumter is erecting a
substantial iron fence around Salem
church cemetery, the gift of L. C.
Mills, the senior elder of this old
church, commonly spoken of as "the
brick church."
Two years ago the congregation
started a fund to build a fence that
would be as near permanent as any,
thing can be, humanity speaking. The
contributions came in rather slowly
until last fall when the residuary le-
gatees Of Miss Mary Hamilton With
erspoon requested the court to allow
500 Of the $1,000 legacy she left for
the protection and care Of the With
erspoon plot be held by the deacons as
an endowment, the interest to be USED
In the larger sense of keeping the en-
tire grounds and fence in good order;
the excess to accumulate until it, with
other contributions will in the future
build permanent fence. This gift of
Mr.. Mills will give ample time to
raise fund large enough to carry out
the intention Of the congregation and
friends who have their dead buried
in this historic spot. The deacons are
having the present wooden fence re-
moved and have offered it for sale at
noon of Saturday, January G. On page
one Of the present volume of the con-
gregational records under date OF
May 8, 1860, "the deacons reported
that the paling in of the graveyard
was completed according to contract
at cost of 1925, the amount has been
paid to the contractor. The report
was received and adopted" On page
under u. H. Cooper in account with
Salem congregation from May, 1850
to May, 1862" it is shown that r. NJ.
Montgomery was the contractor and
was paid 1925. These records are in
the beautiful script of the late w. f..
Mills, grandfather Of Prof. Mills of
the University of South Carolina, and
of the Rev. w. II. Mills of Clemson
and father of l.. c. Mills, the donor
of the new fence. The j. H. Cooper
mentioned was the late Capt. Harring-
ton Cooper, grandfather of Haring-
ton Cooper Brearly, Of the Univcrsity
of South Carolina, and of Cecil Brear-
ley, president Of the University's
Young Mems Christian association.
The lumber in the old fence is OF
such fine material that a new fence
built now Of the finest lumber OBJ
tainable would require more repairs
in the next 25 years than the old fence
that has stood the weather for 81
years. There have been some repairs
but many panel and post is as sound
today as when built in 1860.

these trips he would confer with the

In largely promoting both the activ-

they would have at their elbows the
fun power OF the State instead of the
tedious routine OF correspondence,
which Is never fully satisfactory in
police measures, tt
'-The commissioner In his person
would be the coming of the strong
arm OF the State to cooperate with
local officials. From some experience
Il rt I had last summer I learned
that much more can be accomplished
by an aroused local officer. sometimes
with special assistance. than by en-
pioying numerous constabulary.
And once . local official is aroused
and successful he becomes complete
master of that situation for all time.
'~rhe commissionership. as I con-
csivs IL, should accomplish much bet
ter results for the State at less ex-
pense than heretofore. The increas-
NC demands upon a governors time
and thought make imperative the del

the commissionership is that the COM
