DECREASE COPPER
 AND INCREASE SILVER OUTPUT

The big surplus of the American Smelting and Refining company will be drawn upon to help out dividend requirements this month, which will be over $600,000 The company has con- cluded to curtail the production of copper to minimum and at the same time make big effort to secure a greater production of silver. The company has many important veins of silver that have not been operated to their capacity the past dozen years that might add greatly to the assets of the company now that silver has reached such high point in the mar ket.

COOPERATION HELPS
IN ROAD WORK
County Engineer Asks for
Cooperation
BEST SOIL
is NEEDED

Three Outfits Now Working on Prince.
ton Road and Another to Start Oh
Cross Hill Road. Landowners Ask
ed to Cooperate in Getting Suitable
Soil.
Mr.. \. G. Hughes, engineer in charge
OF the top-soil rOadwork in the coun-
ty, in speaking the other day Of tho
new Princeton road now underway,
said that he thought it very likely
that this road would be completed In
five months unless some unforeseen
obstacles have to be overcome. Three
outfits arc already at work on this
road and rapid progress is being made.
Mr.. Hughes states that he finds a very
good grade Of top-soil along the new
road and thinks that the county is
rather fortunate in this respect though
he has seen better soil elsewhere.
Speaking Of the subject of top soil,
the engineer said that the quality of
the top-Soil obtained depended large
~ upon the cooperation which he re-
ccivcd from the people along the road.
The tOp-Soil varies even in small areas
and 1t is very important to select the
best TO be obtained. Where the land
engineer to sclct the fields whore the
soil is to be obtained much better re-
suits arc obtained than where the en-
%inccr is restricted to certain area.
In this connection, M. Hughcs said
that it had hccn his observation and
that it was the general experience that
only in exceptional Instances did tho
removing of top-soil injure the land.
m many cases, it had been reported to
him that the land was actually im-
proved. The reason he gave for this
was that much OF the top-soil is old
and wOrn-out land while that left at
Ter it is removed is freshcr. It has
been the general custom where he has
had charge Of work to have the land
n!oWcd over after the soil is removed
and thus leave the land in good condi-
tion. Mr.. Hughes said that some ton
soil this fall will necessarily have to
be obtained from fields under cultiva-
ton but that proper Arrangement
would be made with landowners about
this
Mr.. Hughes said also that he thought
1t very likely that another outfit would
be put to work on the Cross Hill road
next week. Contract for this work has
been let to Mr.. j. NJ. Gregory, who is
also Il member Of the firm of GREGORY
Thompson having the contract for
me frInccton road. This road will
tie up with The i,norcc- Waterloo gov
"immcnt aid project near Cold Point,
following the general route Of The
present road.

PEOPLE: MUST HELP
in LAW ENFORCEMENT
Law Enforcement Meeting
Held Monday
PISTOL "TOTING"
BIG EVIL

Jury, magistrates, City Officials and
Peace Officers, Law Enforcement
Placed Up to People. Must Report
Violations OF Law.
AT meeting called by Solicitor
Blackwell and held in the Court House
Monday morning, ways and means Of
combating law violations were dis
cusscd. The meeting was attended by
most of the law officers Of the county,
magistrates, members OF the grand
jury, Mayor Babb and several OF the
witty policemen. THE consensus Of
opinion was that I.aurcns county is
not suffering as much as other roun-
ties from the crime wave said to be
prevalent in the state, credit being
givon by some present to the rural po-
lice system as we'll as the vigilance OF
individual rural policemen and other
peace officers Of the county.
1T was generally admitted that there
has been an increase OF crime in the
county. This was placed to several
causes Clerk Of Court c. A. Power,
who was present. ascribcd part OF it
10 Il general breakdown of the social
fabric due to the war. Mayor Babb
gave vagrancy and its associate evil,
pistol carrying, as the principal OBJ
Staclc to law enforcement with which
he had to deal. These two evils were
generally admitted to be at the cause
OF most criminality in the county at
present. Others spoke Of the whiSkcy
evil, the principal trouble from this
source being due to lax enforcement of
the law in neighborinS counties of
GrGenyillc, Greenwood and NGwbcrry.
Police officers reported that whiSkcy
was being brought from these cOun-
ties and distributed in I.aurenS Ocun-
ty, though there were evidences Of a
few stills in this county which were
being located. Solicitor Blackwell said
that this had been taken up with the
Governor and he had promised relief
from that quarter Much discussion
ccntcred around the problem OF con-
ccaled weapons, but the problem re-
mained unsolved. White men who
loaned negroes pistols and who inter-
vcned in their behalf after arrest were
given credit for much lawlcssness
from this source. The sentiment pre-
vailed that sentences should be more
severe in the future for carrying pis-
tolls, it also being pointed out that to
loan pistol to another was unlawful.
The remedy for combating The pre-
Yalent lawlcsSncsS was generally ad-
mittcd to be found in the cooperation
OF the people. Those who know OF law
violations OF any kind must report it
If the country IS to be freed from
criminals. Lawabiding citizens OF the
county were called upon to report all
cases Of law violation to the county
officers and the sheriff pledged prompt
action in such cases. Without this
help, it was generally admitted. it
would be difficult to overcome the
evil.
The meeting was called by Solicitor
Blackwell at the instance OF Gov.
Cooper and similar meetings arc be-
ing held all over the district by Mr.
Blackwell.
