THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1921.

The annual report of the South Car
olina railroad commission, submitted
last week to the Legislature says:
Seventy-nine persons were killed and
5S9 were injured in accidents connect
ed with the railroads of the state, dur
ig 1920. Of the persons killed were
passengers on trains, II were railway
employees and So were trespassers or
persons crossing railroad tracks at
the time trains approached. Of the
injured 129 were passengers, and 46O
were persons using the crossings.
The greater number of the accidents
and deaths, the report says, were due
to collisions of automobiles with
trains. The commission urges the
public and the railroads to exercise
more care at crossings. This admoni-
ton might well apply to citizens OF
Kingstree and community.

Dillon Boy Knows How to Save.

Mr.. w. E. Hall, Of the Dillon Hard
ware Company, had an interesting ex-
perience the other day when he sold
a youngster a bicycle and in making
payment the lad brought forth a hea-
wy bag from which he produced $50
buffalo nickles or a total of S34.0O.
Mr.. Halls curiosity was aroused and
his questions unfolded the following
story of thrift and self-denial to graf
ify an ambition which probably is
without a parallel in the state: The
purchaser of the bicycle was young
Leonard Hayes, son of R. R. Hayes,
from the lower part Of the county.
The boy is only fourteen years old.
Years ago he had an ambition to own
bicycle, but to boy of his means
the cost was prohibitive. He was a
lad of determination however, and
made up his mind to save his
nickles until the amount was large
enough to buy the bicycle. In the
year 1914 he began to lay up his
savings. When piece Of money
came into his possession he converted
it into nickles which he placed care
fully in his money bag. Before long
the nickles beran to accumulate and
he had visio of the bicycle that he
would some day own. The glad day
came just after Christmas and he
took out his money bag, carried his
nickles to the hardware store, count
ed out the money and handed it over
to Mr.. Hall for the bicycle. There
was no happier boy in the world than
Leonard when he mounted the shin
ing bicycle and rode off towards his
home. There is in the story a lessen
of sef-denial which many people
would do well to learn.-The Dillon
Herald.

TAKE PEPTO.MANGAN
Fortify Your System-Good Blood
Will Give You New Strength
to Keep Well

If you feel the least bit run down,
not necessarily sick, but tired and
blue and sort of down and out, it shows
plainly that your power of resistance
is low.
1t is dangerous to go around that
way. You don't want to do it.
Make no mistake about it, when you
feel yourself slipping into lazy habits,
getting Indifferent to the things you
naturally like-no energy, no vigor,
always tired-it is time to look out.
It may not mean that you are sick or
that you will be. But there are dis
eases that would have an easy time
of it with your system when your
blood has no fighting qualities.
You want to be well and keep well
and feel strong. If you build up the
quality of your blood by taking Pep
to-Mangan you will be in trim to
fight off winter ills. 1t has just the
right ingredients to build your blood
up with rich, re. corpuscles.
Pepto-Mangan gives your blood the
qualities it needs to pick you up and
start you off on a healthy basis. You
will notice the difference soon after
you start taking it., You will have
better color, better feeling, and more
energy.
You can take it in liquid or tablet
form as you prefer. Both have the
same ingredients. But be sure you
get the genuine Gude's Pepto-Man-
gan. Ask for it by that name
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan," and be sure
the full name in on the package.

Teach Kindness to Animals

One of the most important things
to teach children is to take good care
of their household pets; 10 remember
to feed them and to give them water
to drink at regular times if possible.
We are only doing right if we treat
every living creature as we would
wish to be treated ourselves. If you
drive horse, think how you would
like to be treated if you were
that horse. Treat your dog and cat
as you would like to be treated if you
could change places with them.
Kindness on the farm-gentle
treatment of cows; good bedding, good
food and stall large enough to lie
down in, for the horse; shelter for the
swine; proper food and care of poul-
try all repay the farmer in dollars
and cents. Try it.

SAMUEL ScoVlLLE, JRr
On the MESSAGE Of Lincoln

THREE phases in the character of the
i Great EmancipatOr whose birthday we
are celebrating today come across the years
to us as an inspiration for every man. IN the
opinion of Samuel Sc6vllc. Jr., lawyer anu
author of a volume on Lincoln written Tor
the Trench Library during the war.
These three characteristics which, accord
ing 20 Mr.. Scovilc. determine che greatness
of every man, are courage, unselhshncss ana
humility, all of which LINCOLN had to
maximum degree. In his fife and in his
sayings and rritinEs MI thrc" characteristlcS
are cXemplifed again and again, as - dls-

things without which no man can be great
courage, unselfshncSS. humility. lie dared
always to do the thing that he thought was
right. lie never let self interest influence

his own importance hold him back from the

GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANGE

LNNCOt RAGING reports come from Har.
II risburg to the effect that the members
Of the State Legislature arc in n mood to
carry out the wishes of Governor Sproul and
submit to the people the question of holding
a constitutional convention
The administration bill. which il enacted.
would provide the machinery for the conven-
tion, has been introduced and is now in the
hands Of a Senate committee. This bill
should be reported back to the floor of the
Senate with favorable recommendation and
started on its way to final passage.
For time the prospects for passage Of
the bill seemed to be dimmcd by reason of
Senator Pcnrose's declaration that this was
not the time to rcwrite the constitution.
Subsequent events indicate that the senator's
views are not 10 he taken as meaning that
he cared to stand in the way of putting up
to the people the simple question of holding
or not holding n convention. There will be
plenty Of opportunity for Senator PenroSe
and those whose minds go along with his to
express their views in the event that the
people authorize the convention.
Senator pcnrosc showed no disinclination
to 'submit" himself to the people when the
federal constitution was amended so as to
provide for the direct election of United
States senators. In fact, when others dis
tinguiShcd in the roster of the Old Guard
ran away from the test of the primaries.
Senator Pcnrosc stood virtually alone OF his
order in facing the people.
If the senator had no fear about intruSt-
ing his personality TO the primaries then he
can have no fear about intrusting his views
on the constitution to the electorate of the
commonwealth. Passage Of the bill now be-
fore the Legislature merely gives the people
a chance 60 say, 1--WE do or do not want the
constitution revised Senator PeurOqr
agrees with other political leaders, VIC have
n" doubt, that the "pooplr have some
rights
If tho convention BE- authorized. then
there will be fun and free opportunity for
the delegates to debate the various issues and
decide just how far they should go in the
matter. And further. the results of the con-
vcntiOn would then have to meet the ap.
proval of the voters.
Only bold and irresponsible political
leader would try to throw the bill for the
constitutional convention on to a Legislative
>idotrack.
The convention would consist Of 12J dele
gates. Two would BE- elected by the voters
in each of the fifty state senatorial districts
and twenty five would be appointed at largo
BY tho Governor. 1t is to be hoped that those
selected Ivy the voters in the districts will
measure UP to the high standard set by the
men and women who sat on tho commission
tur the revision of the COnSttution-thc body
which paved the way for n substantial re
,N~liuy Of tNr fundamental law.

CAN THEY JOB THE PRIMARIES?

INDEPENDENT citizens are beginning to
understand the reason for the being Of the
lob Combine. At first the Combine appeared
70 be solely interested in getting jobs. That
is why the people were quick to classify the
new organization and record it in local po
itical history as the job Combine. Now it
develops that the winning of jobs was only
preliminary to the larger plans Of tho lead
ers. They want TO lob" tn" voters and
gag the primaries.
All the gossip that is being let loose con-
cerninG this and that ward leader being
considered for ono Of the places on the
'ounty ticket, TO be nominated and elected
his fall, is purposely spread about. The
dea is to accustom the people to the kind of
late that the Combine leaders hope TO jam
through the primaries They realize that
( will need all the reitcratye advertising it
can get.
The Job Combine does not expect its can.
,idatcs 70 win on their merits. They count
IN tho overwhelming power Of organization.
They hav" combined Penros" men. Ware men
and others who are almost Observation-Disclosures
