There has been commenced a nation
wide movement to require the equip
ment of all automobiles with automatic
speed regulators and to make some
thing like 25 miles an hour the maxi
mum limit. Theoretically this. is good
idea; but as to how it may work IN
practical operation suggests many
complications. For instance, think OF
the advantage that holdup men would
have in an S0-miles per hour machine,
with 25-miles per hour machines in
pursuit.

Numerous couples from Cleveland
and CASTOR counties in North Caro-
lima have come to Yorkville during the
past ten days for marriage licenses.
Most of them have had the ceremony
performed by Probate Judge Houston.
Asked yesterday why so many couples
come to York county from North Car
olina to be married, a young bride
groom said: I'VE have a fool eugenics
law IN North Carolina, that was made
for tn benefit of the doctors. Under
this law both men and women have to
undergo a physical examination before
a license is issued. The doctors don't
really examine but they charge from
$5 to $40 for the examination. Young
men end young women have come to
the conclusion that it is much cheap
er to come to South Carolina and get
it done with license, ceremony, taxi
and everything for less money"

so does the next. 1t takes these two
issues to make up for the suspension OF

next Friday-is thrown in for good
measure. But after that all January l
subscriptions that have not been re-
turned, will be discontinued.

Governor Harvey has reprieved Ira
B. Harrison until February 16. Harri-
son, one of the murderers Of ]. c. Ar.
nette, was sentenced to die last Friday
with Frank NJ. Jeffords. His attorney
B. B. Evans, managed to stay his exc
cution by means Of an appeal to the
supreme court. It will be remembered
that the attorney first asked Judge
Mauldin to appoint lunacy commits
sion to inquire into the sanity of Har-
rison. 1t had already been judicially
established tnat Harrison was sham
ming and the judge refused. Evans
then went to Justice Cothran, who also
refused; but he could not prevent an
appeal to the full court, and that acted
as a stay of execution beyond the date
on which Harrison had been sentenced
to die. The clear purpose Of the whole
proceeding was mainly to secure delay
According to the usual course OF such
things Harrison would have been safe
another appeal on some other ground,
equally frivolous. After each delay
extending beyond the time judicially
fixed for the execution, the prisoner
would have to be sentenced again, and
that would mean a further wait until
the next succeeding term Of the Rich
land general sessions. So in the eff
fort to eliminate all this the governor
reprieved the prisoner until February
16. 1t is probable that the court will
dismiss the appeal as frivolous before
that date, and unless Mr.. Evans gets
up another appeal, the execution will
take place. Otherwise, if Mr.. Mcleod
follows the precedent set by Governor
Harvey, there can be other reprieves,
and Mr.. Evans will be kept quite busy
Matching up new schemes to circum-
vent the execution of the law.

At the instance of the state highway

At the instance of the state highway
commission a bill will be introduced in
the next general assembly to require a
state license at the hands of all auto"
mobile drivers. The idea is not to
charge more than a nominal fee for the
license; but to impose a heavy fine on
those who neglect to take the license
out. And persons who transgress the
laws of the road will probably be de-
prived of the right to drive.

w. Brown Gaulden, we'll known
farmer and trapper of York No
shipped the first mink skins OF the
season to a st. Louis dealer this week.
According to Mr.. Gaulden who in his
time has caught hundreds of mink, the
fur is of good quality this winter and
it should bring good prices. Trappers
generally get from S5 to SO each for
mink hides. There were seven in the
shipment dispatched by Mr.. Gaulden
this week.

William n. Neil, well known local
bird hunter killed three partridges at
one shot last Tuesday, according to j.
f. Johnson who was hunting with him
at the time. Although he has only one
arm, Mr.. Neil is noted as one of the
best shots in this section. He and Mr..
Johnson were hunting down in Bethes-
da township when a covey of part
ridges arose. Johnson did not shoot
while Neil shot just one time. Three
partridges fell. "If 1 had even shot |
would certainly have claimed one of
those BIRDS" commented Mr.. Johnson
in telling the story. "But since 1 did
not shoot at all, had no right to make
any claim"

works on Christmas day and since,
stocks of local merchants have not
been consumed entirely and unless
much powder is burned on New Years
the merchants are. going to find it nee

It is believed this condition is due to
the fact that more merchants carried
fire works this year than is generally
the case.

Louise, ten-year- daughter of
County Supervisor Hugh G. Brown
was bitten by small bird pup last
Friday that is believed to have been
mad. A short time after the little girl
was bitten the pup was killed and its
head was sent to the state laboratory
in Columbia. A report was received
Sunday to the effect that the dog was
suffering with rabies. Howard Brown,
a brother of the little girl and Carrie
Powell, a colored woman were bitten
by the pup and all three are taking the
pasteur treatment. They show no Ill
effects from the bites so far.
