17-YEAR-LOCUSTS LEAVE;
ANGLERS MOURN FOR BAIT

AURORA, IIl.-Seventeen-year To-
Gusts which invaded this section in
swarms a short time ago and pre-
vaded the atmosphere from morning
until night with their monotonOus
song, have apparently flown to other
regions or taken a recess. In many
of the sections that were thickly popu-
lated by the pests a week or two ago,
only few remain.
Fisherman learning that the insects
were good bait, scooped them up in
baskets and several anglers report
large bass catches since putting them
on the hooks. The locusts have also
fallen the prey of the birds, many of
them having been killed in this man
ner.
Those who remember the last visit
of the insects say that their disap-
pearance at present is just temper
airy lull and that other swarms of
them will take the place of those here
for the opening reception. According
to predictions, the locusts are not
scheduled for their official departure
until September.

co. SHERIFF
WOULD SUCCEED SELF

Sheriff George Beatty makes an
nouncement this week of his candi-
dacy to succeed himself in the Office
of sheriff, which place he has so ac-
ceptably filed for nearly two years.
His announcement comes late because
of the fact that the opinion emanating
from the office of the attorney general
holding that such officials are eligible
to a second term was made but Sat
urday last. Under the amendment
which was adopted by the last legisla
ture sheriffs may hold the office two
terms, but such amendment is sub
mitted to the people for ratification at
the coming election, which at first
was considered a bar to present Off
Gals being candidates. However the
late decision holds that sheriffs may
stand for reelection and Mr.. Beatty
has concluded to make the run for the
nomination. This makes six candi-
dates in the field for the republican
inatiOn-DemOcrat

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROADS.

Pursuant to recommendation of
the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the
landowners of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining public
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to plow into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowners
are requested to plant two or three
rows of crops adjacent to roads paral-
lei with the road, so that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity of turning plows in the
roads. 1t is against the law to al
low plows to damage the roads,
and it is an unnecessary prac-
tice. The county spends large sums
of money in road building, and the
roads belong to the people. I have
no desire to prosecute anybody, bur
I must insist that this practice be
stopped Immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this re-
spect, and there should be no neces-
sity to bring action against anybody.
Full notice is being given before 1
take such action.

Perhaps the first definite political
move of the present political year was
the resignation recently of Senator
Christensen from the senate finance
committee. Of course the senator
and his friends say there is no politi-
cal significance attached to the resig-
nation. But the senator has laid his
foundation we'll. One would think
he is the champion tax-reducer in
the state from some Of the articles
that have been written about him.
Already he is spoken of" for gov
ernor, and limited at for United
States senator. However, it is too
early for a definite political an
nouncement. That may, with con-
fdence, be expected little later.

:. The so called new source Of tax
alton" began to take effect Wednes-
day, when the gasoline tax of two
cents a gallon became effective. A
small tax on gasoline would probably
not be offensive to the people, but
two cents gallon is unreasonable.
It puts terrible burden on those
individuals and concerns that use gas
for industrial and necessary pur-
poses. The legislature has through
cut, seemingly, acted on the hypothe-
sis that gasoline is purely luxury
and that every person who drives an
automobile is joy-rider. AS mat
ter of fact, we do not believe that
even one-half of the gasoline con-
sumed by automobiles is used for
pleasure riding. The biggest censuH-
ers of gasoline for automobile driv-
ing are probably the small town and
country doctors, on whom the tax
will fall heavily. The joy-riders can
easily dispense with pleasure riding,
lbut we cannot very well do without
the good doctors. In its final analy-
sis, 1t will be found that the bulk OF
the taxes will be paid by a certain
class. This has always been the sys-
TEN, and we presume it always will
be. Still, we do not think a small
and reasonable tax on gasoline for
road purposes would be Objectionable
to most people. The corporation Ii
eense tax and the inheritance tax we
think are without any justification.
The corporations are ridden to
death in taxes already. If the
present system of when you can't
find anything else to tax put
it on the corporations continues
the state will soon be black
baIled by investors. We do not be-
lieve in placing an unequal burden
of taxes on anybody, corporations or
individuals.

senger service ordered between Green
Pond and Ehrhardt on the Coast
Line. However, the service is in the
nature only of an experiment. For
thirty days the double daily passenger
service will be tried out. At the ex-
piration of that time, the railroad
has the permission of the railroad
commission to again bring the matter
up, and the commission will take
the service off if it is found to be too
expensive for the amount of travel.
1t is therefore up to the people to use
the service as much as possible.
