not pause to polish his periods or to
elaborate his characters. Even his
plots were elementary, with no sub
tleties of ratiocination such as may be
found in Poe, Gaboriau, and Conan
Doyle. On the other hand his hero
was in action every moment, and IN
the Nick Carter stories may be found
the prototype Of a stirring kind OF
film drama in which the young people
of today take the pleasure which their
predecessors found in the yellow
backs" r .t,., .. .
One realizes how the world has
moved when, he reads the pleasant
words now, being spoken about the
stories in which were told the iadYen- :
lures of the dashing and marvellous
and ever heroic Nick. !, They are not
at all bad books" the Republic says
of them, "iand the censure, which they
used to bear in common with all
dime novels was exaggerated and
based to great extent on prejudice
and Ignorance" Yet how Sehemently
they were condemned and denounced
in the old days! How dreadful a
crime it was to be caught reading one
of them and how dire was the punish
ment, sure to be visited upon the
youthful offender! There was no
hope at all for the confirmed dime
noval devotee. He would grow up to
be criminal and would bring his
fathers gray hairs in sorrow to the
grave. The Jail yawned for him.
And now we learn that Nick Carter
was not, such a bad fellow after all,
and the proof of 1t is that millions of
boys who knew all his adventures by
heart are not now langushing' in Jail
but are living happily in their own
homes, the perfectly respectable heads
of families. One is almost led to 'sus-
pect that perhaps the influences which
are said to be undermining our morals
today, just as Nick Garter was ac-
i cl,sed of undermining them then, are
not going to be quite as fatal as some
people fear they will be.--Charleston

A Huge Joke.-Down in Hampton
county Sunday Jake Terry" of Estill
drove aout two miles to church and
saw Tack Fulton" sitting by "Jake's"
girl. Jake, drove back to the village,
got his pistol, returned to the church,
shot Tack presumably, in the back,
while the communion was being ad-
ministercd. This is equal to the times
when gay sports considered q girl his
chattel and not. to be addressed by
competitor without permission. This
barbarous affair is only another illus
tration of the cheapness fof' human life
in our midst. After a few days he
will get bail from a "mercifur' judge
and run at large till public sentiment
cools. Then shrewd lawyers will
bring into play the numerous loop
holes. Finally Jake" will go free to
shoot other "Tacks" in the back and
he will have the usual chances till the
Doodle gives out. He may then get a
year or two in the pen. Verify the
course of criminal law" in South Car
olina would be a huge joke if not so
ragical.-Calhoun Times.

March was the first month on which
the tax of two cents gallon was paid
on gasoline, and judging by the figures
for this month total of approximate

months or they may decrease
Under the terms Of the; gasoline tax

The Winchester Lumber & Coal Co,
Winchester, has made wonderful
strides during the year. While it is
true that the price of Lumber, Lath
Shingles, Sash, Doors, Roofing Mater
ial Building Paper, and Builders Sup
plies have increased from time to time,
still this establishment has been able
to keep prices down to a consistent
figure and as a result the volume of
business has increased rapidly. They
are meeting the present low prices of
today's market and are selling Lumber
and Building Material at as low price
ms any concern in this section.
The prospective customer is obliged
to take the word OF the dealer to a
great extent when buying. This is par
ticularly true Of the Lumber Business.
Therefore il is good sound judgment
TO make purchases from concern that
has reputation for Square Dealings.

pany is in that class.
