Kearse, Feb. 7.-Mr. and Mrs. H.
S. Kearse left recently for their new
home at Chester, and are we'll pleas
ed with their surroundings general
ly. However, they report defcien-
cy of "fat splinters' in Chester coun-
ty, which have been so much in de-
mand the past few weeks. We be-
lieve old Bamberg county is the best
place, after all, for We may be short
of some things, but we do think we
hare enough fat" stumps to supply
the demand.
Farm work has been almost at a
standstill for the past few weeks on
account of the bad weather, however,
our farmers are not discouraged, for
they are hoping that the recent
freeze will dull the activities of Mr..
Boil Weevil. Some of our farmers
have planted their tobacco beds, and
others are planning to do so. G. T..
Ritter has been shipping lettuce re-
Gently and receiving fairly good pric-
es for the same. This is new in
dustry for our section, and we trust
that other farmers will follow Mr..
Ritter's example.
A little stranger came to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Kearse on the
oath ult., and as the weather was
freezing cold they gladly welcomed
him into their home and hearth, and
are now receiving the congratula-
tions of their friends on the posses
sion of a bouncing baby boy.
Mrs. B. V. Kearse was called to
Fairfax few days ago, on account
Of the illness of her sister, Mrs. G..
w. Jenny. On her return she reports
Mrs. Jenny much better.
We are glad to report G. B. Kearse
convalescent after a recent illness.

A PRACTICE THAT DIsGUsTS.

The people OF South Carolina are
more disgusted with the habit indulg-
ed in by legislatures of electing their
own members or attaches to other
offices than members and senators
imagine.
Everybody knows that when mem
bers of board are to be chosen by
the general assembly citizens back in
the counties, no matter what their
public and private services and
achievements have been, too often
have small chance in contest
against member, senator, a COM
mittee clerk or solicitor or other
person whose work brings him into
association with the body while it is
in session.
In this abuse, which we heard a
prominent South Carolinian the other
day characterize as Outrageous" the
present legislature is no worse sinner
than some of it's predecessors. The
evil is not confined to election of
members to ofices-it extends often
to the election Of a legislator to an
other Office 50 that, in violation OF
the spirit of the letter, or both, of the
constitution, he holds commission
ership or trusteeship as well as mem
bership in the legislature. AS the
fruit of this practice various boards
will in time be packed with legisla-
tors and ex-legislators and hangers
on about the legislature, an undue
proportion of them being citizens of
Columbia, as State House attaches
for the most part reside in this city.
We do not know that more elec-
tions will be held by the general as
sembly during the present session
but we point to the abuse and hope
that the people will turn their eyes
upon it. A legislature that gobbles
the small positions for it's own mem
bers and those of its friends so near
that they can lobby for them is
scarcely one having correct sense of
it's responsibility to it's constituents.
When a judge is to be chosen, sec
ond rate lawyer, in the general as
sembly, especially if he is a member
of the lower house, is probably able
to defeat the leader of the bar Of the
state.
For a legislator Of vision broad
enough to perceive that legislators
represent the people, not themselves,
and hold their votes in trust, the op-
portunity is excellent to take the lead
in putting an end to this wretched
misuse of power.-The State.

BUILD FOR CENTURIES.
Soldiers Returning With New Ideas
of Architecture.

Americans returning from the war
bring with them the new doctrine
that church, public building or a
dwelling should be SO built that it
need not be rebuilt every generation.
Comfortable, attractive houses 800
years old, fine churches 500 years old
are among the sights they have look
ed upon in France.
Just now, in period OF high cost
Of labor and material, this doctrine
that dwelling may be satisfactorily
built but once in 800 years, should
appeal to the prospective house bull
der. It assures at least that he need
build but once in his life time and
that his child may not need to build
at all.
Such a house need not cost much
more than one that would go to
wreck in thirty years. A little we'll
trained thinking will be about the
only difference. Four qualities must
be built into suck a house: Perma-
nent material, permanent beauty OF
plan, permanent warmth and econo-
mical arrangement. These qualities
are fundamental, always have been,
and always will be. Such a mouse;
will sell well 800 years hence, and
will have pleased every occupant in
the meantime.
Good architecture styles are per-
manent. Our best styles today are
centuries old. Warmth also is an
abiding quality. A house that is
hard to heat will not be permanent.
The fuel problem will be constantly
growing factor in home life. Ameri-
ca is not likely to see cheap coal
again very soon. A house warmly
built is fortified against waste in this
item of maintenance.
Standardized workmen's houses,
single and multiple, bui1t chiefly OF
cement or clay products are to be a
large feature in future housing. But
these must be made attractive to the
eye, and economical Of unkeep.
Workmen cannot live well and lay by
in store unless their houses are so
built.
The average Garner who has built
a home has to spend his life to earn
it. And he has been forced to DO
this, often. because his father built
a house that did not last lifetime.
A cheaply constructed house is a
waste to the family and to the COM
munity. The ideal house Of the fu-
ture will stay built.-Minneapolis

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROOADS.

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. It 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. | have
no desire to prosecute anybody, bur
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 l
take such action.

Reason Why.

The English cyclist rode on
through the rain. He was drenched
and splashed with mud from head to
foot. He saw a countryman walking
toward him.
"How far is RiSton?" he asked.
Eight miles in the other direc-
tion," was the answer.
s'The other may?" gasped the c-cy
list. 'SBut the last sign post pointed
this way to Riston."
"Ah, that post was turned round
long ago to confuse the zeppelins," l"
answered the countryman with a
knowing smile.
