DR.. James M. Johnson, accom-
panied by his little son, has re-
turned to his government duties in
Washington, after spending part
of his vacation here to the pleasure
of his many friends. AS no one votes
in Washington DR.. johnson deferred
his trip to Newberry in order to vote
at his "home precinct but was de-
MED the great privilege granted every
American citizen. He was not al
lowed to cast his ballot owing to the
construction of a rule of the Demo-
cratic primary governing the cleo
ton. When the rule says $50 and
so' and ''such and such" there is only
one thing to do and that is, go ac-
cording to the law in every instance
and not violate it in any circum-
stance.

fee Saturday the judge told us two

the same afternoon: zeb Galiman

J. Taz Sem, Jr., wounded bird
and brought it to town last Thurs
day and had it in Mr.. J. A. Burton's 81
Office. It was a small bird, but be-.
ing of an unusual species in this:

fit of the curious and saw that it be-
longed to the Adjutant variety OF
low country birds.
