LARGE LIQUOR HAUL
MADE LAST FRIDAY

One of the largest liquor captures in
Lexington county since the dry laws
were enacted was made last Friday
when Sheriff E. Austin Roof and
State and government agents took
into custody three men driving q big
touring car loaded with bottled in
bond booze. It is said that the ma
chine in which the men were trans
porting the goods became disabled on
a bad stretch of road just out of Lex
ington Thursday night, and people in
the neighborhood became suspicious
Friday morning and notified the
sheriff. Before the officers of the law
arrived at the scene the parties with
the whiskey had succeeded in getting
away. going in the direction Of Co.
lurnbia. Sheriff Roof notified Colum-
bia authorities to be on the lookout
and he himself followed and over
took the car at Brookland bridge, but
in the meantime the liquor had been
taken from the car and hid away in
the woods near Hooks store, the Off
GERS of the law later locating 16 IL
gallons. The boy in charge of the
car admitted to- the officers his full
connection with the transaction.
The men claim to be from Savan-
nah, and two of them gave their
names as j. H. Wrentz and j. D.
Smith. The other, only a boy, was
released. The men stated to Sheriff
Roof that there were two more cases
Of bottled in bond goods in the woods,
but the officers were unable to find it..
A preliminary hearing was held be-
fore Magistrate Hendrix Monday
morning, the two men being released
on bond and bound over to general
sessions court.
The automobile in which the liquor
was being transported is being held
by Sheriff Roof, but it is stated that
certain holders Of a mortgage over
tile car are arranging bond for the
car also.

the forty-day period went glimmering
last week and it seems almost certain
that the legislature will prolong it's
session at least one week over the
regular time, and maybe longer. -.
There has not in long time been a
session when it seemed SO hard to en-
act measures into law. Practically
every statewide bill that has come up
has met with determined opposition,
which up.to the present has been sue
cessful in killing large number of
the proposed laws. Things are so un-
certain that most members seem
averse to doing anything except mark
ing time, not even being willing even
to abolish any departments OF the
government, though measures aiming
at several of them have been intro
duced. Among the rest the highway
commission has come in for a good
deal of criticism and seems to be
somewhat in bad favor, whether justly
so or not remains to be seen. Though
it seems that practically no change
will be made in the law under which
they are operating, the appro-
priations for their work were
cut severely by the ways and means
committee. Among other things the
committee sliced materially the sal
aries requested by this department.
Among others the commission had re-
uucsted a salary of $4,000, or $1,000
more than is paid the governor and
s3,500 more than the attorney gen
clal receives for the state highway
engineer The house allowed him
$4,000. The chief clerk of the board
was cut from request of $4,000 to
s2.40O. sum which the legislature
seems to have fixed for the pay Of
such work. And SO on down the line.
There is pending a bill completely
revising the game laws and increas
ing the licensing. 1t has the ap
proval Of the commimttee in tn. SER
ate and may get through ii the ses-
sion is sufficiently prolonged.

Several Of the more hardy garden
crops, including those mentioned above,

may be planted at least a month be-
fore the average date for the last frost.
Irish potatoes are easily injured by
freezing, but they require about a
month to come up and may be planted
at about the same time as lettuce and
radishes. It pays to take a chance on
the early planting of certain Of the
more hardy garden vegetables. II they

be replanted. A good method Is to
make about three paintings at inter-
walls Of three weeks, and if the first

Gardens are going to be just as i'm

OF agriculture specialists declare. High
food costs, they say, are likely to re-
main until more to eat is grown and
distributed. Farm gardens, village gar
,dens and city backyard gardens all
will help. Food produced in the gar
den not only helps balance the family
budget but releases that grown on
farms for the use Of people who are
entirely dependent upon others.
With the frightening Of the days. it
will not be long until land can be
worked, and such hardy crops as peas,
onions, lettuce, radishes and beets
planted, especially throughout the low
er Gulf coast region. The average
date of the last killing frost Of the

PansIes for Spring Bedding.

Pansy seed started in the conserva-
tory or greenhouse now will make
good plants for bedding out in the
spring.
Sow the seeds in seed pans or boxes
and grow the plants In the shall
low boxes used by florists for this
purpose.
Cold frames should be ready and
kept covered all winter, to take the
plants in March.
The plants car be ported and grown
In the pots. The object Of putting
the plants in the cold frames is to save
room in the greenhouse and also to
harden the plants of so they can be
set out early In beds. The sashes
must be taken of the cold frames
early or the plants will become tall
and spindly or drawn" as the gar
deners call them.

NOT MUCH DANGER IN. AIR
Statistics Concerning the Casualties
Among Flyers Are Something
Of a Revelation.

: The airplane is the fastest ma
chine man has yet built, but fast as
it is, it has not yet caught up with
its reputation for danger. That repu-
tation was acquired~when the plane
was in its infancy, when man was just
beginning to master the air, and In
the mind Of the average man it has
not yet been downed.
The British air ministry collected
statistics on all commercial flying in
that country for the last seven months
Of 1919. The results amazed even
pilots and engineers who long had re-
garded the risk in flying as negligible.
The figures covered 25,33O flights by
4O3 machines Of a total time in the
air Of 8,368 hours, during which time
593, 600 miles were travelled. In all
this flying in good. weather and bad,
one passenger was killed in every
1906 passenger hours In the air. TO
put it differently, a single passenger
might expect to fly about 1,18O,O00
miles-47 times around the world
before becoming the victim Of a fatal
crash. That sounds utterly absurd
to the landsman, yet the British gov
stands back of the figures.
The pilots who tested experiment.
al planes did stunt flying and ran
other unnecessary risks, showed 48
deaths per 1000 hours. sof
, Coming carer home, figures COM
piled by the Post Office department
show to the end of last year 100000
miles flown with a loss of three pi-
lots. These pilots, Of course, ran
many risks, for they carried the mail
through rain, snow and fog that blind
ed them. .,a:
Even in training pilots the figures
are exceedingly low. From the be-
ginning Of the war until the end Of
1918, 1880 men learned to fly in
the United States air service. One
man was killed in every 2,31O hours,
OF one to about every 10000 miles.
With these positive proofs of avia-
TONS safety before us, American air
plane manufacturers are going ahead

realization soon will come every

FLYING Squirrels.

Along in April, if you are walking
through a heavy piece of woods and
you tap tentatively upon the trunk Of
a hollow tree because you see a prom
Using looking hole higher up, then,
once out Of about 1872 times you will
see n or more curious little heads
peering down at you. You will have
found a family Of flying squirrels, says
a writer in the Christian Science Mon
itor.
You will be apt to notice that the
little rascals above have unusually
large eyes and you will perhaps be
surprised at the number Of inhabit-
ants which will continue to emerge
from that hole upon continued tap
ping (sometimes there will be eight
or nine) ; but particularly you will be
delighted by the wonderful lightness
and gracefulness Of the jumping fights
they will make to the nearby tree
trunks. OF course they land at a low
er level than the spot from which they
jump, yet by repeating the process
they are in nc time distributed to the
four compass points and out Of your
range of observation. If, however,
the young are very small they may be
caught and you can examine their silky
fur and the little sails which they
spread with their feet when they VOL
