Weekly Budget from Lake City.

Lake City, Jan 30:-Young Nh
Humphries of Timmonsville was in
town from Saturday to Monday. He
comes as regularly as any drummer
you ever saw, works as hard at his
job and stays longer.
&c Williams, ESQ, of Florence
spent Sunday in town at his old
home.
The excessively bad weather has
brought about a positive dearth Of
news. Folks can't visit; the streets
are deserted except when the
movie" is running; and the wet has
even taken the starch" out of the
spirits of the people.
The drummers who travel by the
John Henrys" come in at night
complaining of all manner of aches
and pains and sore spots. The roads
are not altogether as smoot as bill.
lard tables.
MIR ] D Singletary has English
peas up and looking well.
Mr. A B Brick left Saturday night
for Baltimore and New York. He
will be gone about ten days or two
weeks. One object of his trip is to
buy goods, but he said before leav-
ing that, if he could strike bargain
in a wife, he will not come back
alone. He will attend the marriage
of his sister in Brooklyn next SIM
day.
Chesley Timmons. colored, was
convicted in the mayors court Tues
day of selling whiskey and sentenced
to fine of $1O0 or be imprisoned
80 days. A man may commit MUIR
der or steal bank with fine pros
poets of going unpunished, but if he
sells liquor in South Carolina. he's a
goner. This is the one crime, and
largely the only one, that is receiv-
ing attention today in this State.

Who Is To Blame?

Kingstree has an ordinance against
the running at large of live stock
on the streets of the town. For
some unaccountable reason it issn"t
enforced. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to see loose animals running
at large on the streets of the town.
Only a few days ago a lady, VINO
had in her charge a little baby, was
walking along one of our streets
when a gentleman had to 60 to her
assistance to help her get by a horse
that was running around loose on
the streets. We know of a lady
that has to be continually on the
watch for these loose animals when
her children are playing on the
streets in front of her door. Why
does this condition prevail? Hogs
and cattle have been permitted to
roam permiscuously in certain parts
of town recently and several resi-
dents have complained to US that on
this account they are unable to
beautify their'lawns or keep their
premises as they would like to. Tax
paying citizens have a right to ex-
meet q reasonable enforcement OF
the law.
Are our ordinances simply to fill
nm space on the ordinance book or
are they enacted into law for the
protection of our citizens? We
would also like to know why the Or
dinance requiring automobiles to
stop at the corners of Main and
Academy streets and Main street
and Hampton avenue are not en-
forced? Less than one-half the au'
tonobiles passing these corners fail
to observe the notice to STOP" If
this law is not going to be enforced
why not take down the signs, for
certainly they are no ornaments.
Who is to hlame for the non-en-
forcement of the towns laws!

A Good Bill

We are glad to see that the Oil
introduced by Chairman Llles' Oh
the ways and means committee, pro-
vidine for five hundred dollars traV-
eEnu expenses for circuit judges has
passed the House and we nope IL
will pass the Senate and become
law. 1t strikes US that with all the
appropriations of our LEGISLATURE
they could very we'll afford to pay
our judges salary in keeping with
the work they have to do. That they
are underpaid most every person
will admit, while there are some
few who advance the argument that
if they can't do the work for what
they are now getting there others
who will take the job. Yes, there
.re those would be willing to take
the lob of being President for half
the salary he is getting, but We
want quality in the White House
and not quantity. South Carolina
has most able set of men on the
bench and the time is at hand When
their services should be recognized
BY being paid a salary their ability
demands. Along this line we think
our circuit Solicitors should be pro-
vided with an amount for travelling
expenses. Their salaries should al
80 be increased because it is through
his office that the whole legal ma
chinery for bringing the violators OF
the law to justice is started and car
ried to a conclusion, usually.

The sundiaI.

The smdial is an instrument OF great
antiquity, for it Is referred TO in the
Bible isaiah xxxviH, 81, and IL has
been estimated that the date Of this
sundlal would be about 700 years be-
fore the beginning OF the Christian era.
The first sundiai OF which history dis-
tinctly tells us Is that OF the Chaldean
astronomer Berossus. who probably
lived about 800 B. @.
Then and for many years afterward
the art OF constructing sundials TO suit
any place and situation was an impor
tant branch OF mathematical study.
The sundIal az invented by this Re
rossus remained In use for many centu-
ries. four OF these having been found In
Italy In modern times. One which was
discovered at Tivolt In 1748 is believed
by some TO have belonged to Cicero.

A large increase in the forest fight
ing arrangements OF the state is fore

This associations organization. in
existence six years. consists OF a
trained woods force with headquar-
tiers at Marquette.

warden's department
The resultant combination gives an
almost complete patrol north OF the
straits and large army OF fire war
dens in the southern peninsula. The
combination OF the two was made
possible by the 1917 legislature in
the increase OF the appropriation the
commission could use for forest fire
fighting. 49, f.
