RURAL CARRIERS HAVING
HARD TINE NOW

The ever popular rural carriers 60
ing out from the Lexington postoffice
are all having a hard time now, due
to incessant rains which have caused
roads everywhere to get in bad way.
Especially do the carriers going out
through the clay sections have it hard.
Mr.. Harry Rawl, who operates the
only official motor route in the coun-
ty and who has a. distance of so miles
to cover every day, rain or shine, has
about the worst piece Of road to cover.
His line traverses clay altogether, and
goes through a thickly settled COM
munity, where the travel is heavy at
all times, which helps to make the
roads bad. All of the boys, however,
feel that they owe an important duty
to the public and each and every
morning they leave on their long and
lonesome journeys with broad smile
and jolly goodbye. They come
back in the afternoon wearing the
same glad smile, although their daily
tasks are rough and rugged just at
this time.

MISS CARRIE SLICE
DEADLY OWN ACT

Stealing herself away from her
loved ones and placing on her bed
the shroud in which she wished to
be buried, Miss Carrie Slice, aged 81
years, daughter of Mr.. Walter Slice,
prominent Dutch Fork farmer, Sc
cured a % calibre parlor rifle early
last Thursday morning and blew
out her brains. Miss Slice was alone
in the house at the time, her father
being at the woodpile cutting wood.
The young woman had finished her
work of the morning, having placed
the house in apple-pie order, and to
all appearances, was in the best OF
spirits Hearing the crack of the
rifle, Mr.. Slice rushed into the house
only to find his daughter lying across
the floor in a pool of her own blood.
The rifle was at her side. The bull
let entered on the right side of the
head and ploughed it's way through
and through. Death had been in
stantenous.
Miss Slice had been the head of
the home since the death of her
mother several years ago. Being the
only daughter of the family, she was
idolized by her father and brothers,
and was shown every attention. She
was loved and esteemed by every one
who knew her, and no cause for the
rash act has been assigned.
The funeral was conducted from
the home on Friday afternoon, in
the presence of a large congregation
of sorrowing relatives and friends,
the last sad rites being performed by
the family's pastor, the Rev. A. M.
Carpenter The interment was in the
family plot nearby.

enel and Mr.. J. William Mitchell OF
Batesburg were the principal stock

ing our farmers to fall behind with

PAST WEEK WITH
THE LEGISLATURE

Columbia, Feb. 3.-While the leg
islature apparently settled down 70
work better the past week and really
made considerable progress on mat
tiers in hand, the prospects are tnat
the session this year will extend be-
yond the regular forty day limit. But
little work has been done on the ap-
propriation bill, which usually con-
sumes a great deal of time.
The outstanding feature of the
week just passed was the effort made
TO reconcile differences on the ques-
ton of good roads. Governor Cooper
called an informal get together meet
ing of both branches of the legisla-
ture, for last Tuesday night. The roll
of counties was called and. members
from every county had an opportun-
ity to air their views. After a lengthy
session the conference adopted mo-
ton to appoint joint committee
from both houses to draft a good
roads bill. This committee has had
several meetings and has made some
progress towards. reconciling the va
tious shades of opinion. It is under
stood that the committee has decid-
ed to recommend a bill embodying
the idea of road building by the coun-
ties with maintenance by the State.
(This applies, Of course, only to such
roads in a county as are embraced in
the State highway system). Other
features of the bill decided upon, it
/ is said, are a two mill tax for road
maintenance, to be expended by the
highway commission on the roads of
the counties where collected. It Is
believed that when the committee
has finished its deliberations~it will
be able to introduce a bill that will
successfully run the gauntlet Of both
house and senate.
The Anthony amendment to the
federal constitution providing for wo-
man suffrage is as dead as a door
nail as far as South Carolina is con-
cerned, the senate having adopted the
resolution of rejection. There are
still enough states that have not rat
flied to make it possible that the a.
mendment. will fail Of the required
number of ratificatfons to make it go
into ,,effect. Virginia now has the
question under consideration in its
legislature, with the chances favor
ing rejection.
