Mrs. Jay Morse, of Roberdel No.

she heard the little girl scream;
the neighbors ran to help, but
she was so badly burned that she
lived only a few hours. She was
conscious to..the end; so much of
her body was burned that she
did not suffer much. The little
girl said she reached up to put
her school books on the mantle,
and all at once the blaze ran up
in her face; there was fire in
the CRATE. She was burned last
Friday at l o'clock in the after

ed of the theft of a Ford Coupe

the idea of further fighting the case,
and SO on Tuesday at noon Sheriff

a small lot between the residences
of Edgard Davis and B. F. Reynolds,
on Washington street, extended.
The house is directly over where a
small branch was or is. The town
had a restraining order secured
against him on January 22nd for
filling up this branch. After this
was issued, the town alleges that he
continued to put debris into the
branch, and so he was given a hear
ing before Judge Ray at Monroe
February 10th on the charge of
contempt of court. DR.. Chamberlain
stated that he had instructed the
workmen not to throw debris into
the branch, and that if such was
thrown it was not with his consent

We editors have a "hard time"
We really do. Even our best
friends seem to regard US with a
''let George do it expression of
countenance that makes us feel
overburdened and oppressed. Ev-
erybody seems to want us to
open our mouth and put our foot
in it, keeping their own discreet
ly safe. A group of men and
women were discussing whether
the Carnival feature should be
abolished from.our County Fair
or not. The women we're solidly
in favor of doing away with the
Carnival, thinking that the ganb-
ling, the fake side shows. and
worse, do far more harm than
good in the community. The
men climbed on the fence and
from that vantage ground agreed
on the matter. 1t seems that the
Carnival is of considerable finan-
cial value to the tFair Associate
alton, paying about $1,00O.00 for
the concession, and if the Carni-
val is done away with this fund
would have to be raised by pri-
'vate subscription. One women
said she would rather go over
the county and solicit subscript-
ions rather than have her small
son taught that the cheap glitter
of the side shows is a wholesome
amusement. A gentleman said
that the gate receipts would not
support the Fair. that "the
crowd came to see TIE Carnival
and not the exhibits. Which be-
ing interpreted means that Rich
mond county which holds up its
head as one of the leading count
les of our State is not able, or
willing, to get together such an
exposition of its products that
our neighbors will not enjoy
meeting together, seeing what
has been done for the common
good of all and entering into
generous rivalry for still better
things. This is a question of
public interest. If the people of
Richmond county want the Car.
nival as a feature of our county
fair, let them say so: if they pre-
fer a clean exhibit of the products
of our community then say SO
