The past FEDERAL court records
show that Lexington county rural

than any otherscounty in the State.
THIS does not show that there is no
necessity for the rural police, or that
they are not doing anything: think

resent it. We are not as bad, as some

Dear Editor: ~
As the me is nearing for the con-
vening OF the next General Assembly,
and as I am frequently asked what
am going to do and what do I stand
for. i want to say that I am going to
do, as have always done, the best
I can for the people of my county and
state.
Under the stress Of times I want
and will advocate such legislation
that will ultimately relieve our
people. =.
First, I am in favor Of further re-
lieving the agricultural people of their
burden of taxation and placing 2 it
upon other things that heretofore
have escaped their share of taxation.
Second, I am IN favor of better
schools economically run and longer
term of school hours and more in
structive teaching rather than the
mere hearing OF recitations.
Third. I am still in favor of better
roads and an economical construc-
tion and maintenance Of. same.
Fourth, am not like Ephriam--

rHE EVIDENCE.

From the evidence furnished
think the county is probably the worst
in the state for law Violations" That
is, the statement OF the governor in
reference to the whiskey ra DIS con-
Quoted here last Thursday. and from
the evidence he gave to the press
along with the statement it would
seem, that his reasoning faculu es were
somewhat impaired at the, time.
The evidence the governor had at
which he spoke, was information fur
nished him by state constables b no
made the rals. They searched rsix
places that day and found wh,skey at
one, II half-pints. Probably the
worst county in the state.''
\, No one in Lexington that is &C
auainted with the situation will say
that Lexington is all it should be in
reference to law enforcement. Like.
wise no one acquainted with the sit
nation CAN say That 1t ia thes"worst in
the state"
We cannot say with certainty that
the, governors home town of Charles
ton is the worst sin the estate. but
afton .observatton we utntsay that the
sx9yernor.s home town; tsr worse than
5slsxington. Irssr " : &C.,
1--WE! cannot say With; certainty that
Eoiunibia,is thee"worst IN the state"
but from obsarya.ion We viii say tina.
.itt is worse than i.exington in refer
encefto whiske ey 9iolafi6ns:
. We cannot a 4 say II That the g5vsrnorsss
aware thSt Il htskeS is sold hourly in
about goo yards OF his private 6frice.
but that fs everyday talk. 3
We, cannot say what prompted the
governor to give out the statement
about Lexington. but we think he was
wrong, rg.-. :Sii.s
Lexington is bad enough. but Lex
ington rs not the worst in the state"
The statement that the i'bootleg-
gers have, the Officers, .ptimidated" is
rather far-fetehed.s The officers
have been npceasing in their raids in
different sections Of the county. and
have captured a number of-stills and
arrested several vioiators Of the law.
The evidence does not bear out the
charge. *-a ~
Lexington offiai ais and Lexington
citizens resent the charge that it is
probably the worst In the state. - ::

She signed her name. There were

the handwriting of the address upon
the package, the Manitowoc postmark
and the shoe box furnished clues to
the sender of the ring and the watch

self could not trace those clues, but
Henry or her father could. She wrote
to both of them, therefore, describing
the articles which had come and re-

The next noon she received a
wire from Henry that he was coming

had expected him the end of the week.
Late that evening, she sat with her

The lights of some boat turning in

Keep Mentally Alert.

When alls said and done you're
worth what's under your hood. Become
mentally inert and you stagnate. Allow
the '.isms" and the ifs of the times to
flood your mental carburetor and you'll
choke the engine on the most crowded
corner. The man who succeeds must
keep everlastingly fit. He must con-
stantly care for what's under the hood.
Many time he'll have to do what he
doesn't want to do. But doing that
well only makes a man of him. Small
fry never do anything except what
peases. Men Of big mold do many
things distasteful to them TO help 9th
ers. In the end they're happier for it.
So be man of progress. Pay attention
to what's under the hood and keep the

English Dog Source OF Considerable
Revenue to Small Boy, His
Owner snd Colleague.

The Manx seaguIl who seized golf
ball from under the very niblick OF
n,ayer. was a spoil-sport as well as
gourmand. His conduct can be ex-
tenuated only on the plea of defective
education. Very different it is with
the spaniel who plies steady trade
on certain links In Cornwall. England.
The course lies along the cliff top.
with steep seward slope strewn
with loose rocks and thick with gorse
and all kinds of tangled growth.
MANY ball goes bouncing down.
From the doorstep of cottage look
inp ON the links. an amiable spaniel
watches. Is 1t fancy which sees his
brown eyes glisten when new ball is
abandoned? When the last golfer HES
home. the spaniel's hour comes. Un-
hasting. systematic. he works that
hank of rock and heather, where four
feet have so great an advantage in
security, and the nose is safer guide
to hidden treasure than the eye. His
accomplice. a mere hoy. who acts as
storekeeper and accountant. receives
the proceeds on the brihk. Up and
down trots the travelling member of
