w. E. Mitchell, one of Sumter's

will turn out thirty bushels per acre,
while the oats would turn out at
least sixty bushels per acre.

"ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE"
SAYS THE FOREMAN.

A foreman who had charge Of a
department in a certain rather old
fashioned business, frequently
used the above phrase. If the
owners of the concern suggested
some new method, he would growl
and Shake his head.
lie would go out among his
worBmen, and some of them would
raise objections to the new idea,
based on the dislike felt by most
people for any change Of their
operations, The foreman lacked
the energy and the resolution to
investigate these objections by
persosal experiment.
ITS almost impossible to do it"
he would report and would re-
peat the objections as to how they
could be overcome. There are too
many Of these almost impossible"
people in the world.
The successful man never makes
such a nadmission as that. If a
thing is demonstrated to be i'm
possible, he gives it up as imprac-
ticable But if anyone says "aI-
most impossible" it means the
thing can be done, only there are
difficulties to be surmounted. That
simply incites the abitions Of a
Tesourceful man.

SOLONS, STOP
PISTOL MENACE.


If criminals obeyed the laws Of
the land there would be no crimi
nails and we Would be living in an
ideal state. But as there are adj
mittcdly criminals, it follows that
there is a class cf persons to whom
the law means nothing. Therefore,
it is plain that the mere enactment
of laws will not prevent crime.
The most can be expected of any
penal law is that it will act as
deterrent to criminals.
Amy police official, and student
of criminology, viii agree that no
law can be enacted which viii pre-
vent criminals from obtaining pis-
tolls and revolvers any more than
the enactment of laws will prevent
stealing. But laws can be enacted
which will in the first place, make
it difficult for criminals to obtain
such weapons and in the second
PLACE make it persosally danger
Gus for them to be found with
such weapons in their possession.
The Uniform Pistol and Revolv-
err law which the United States
Revolver Association is endeavor-
ing to have enacted in all states
is such a law. Briefly, it provides
that:
None but citizens, personally
known, or properly identified to
licensed dealer in firearms, are
permitted to purchase pistols or
REVIEWERS. A record Of sale must
be filed with the police.
10 pistol Or revolver may be
delivered to the purchaser until
the. day after the sale.
Owners Of such firearms are not
permitted to carry them on
their persons or in a vehicle with
out a license from the police.
Dealers are not permitted to
display pistols or revolvers, or imi-
tations thereof, where they can be
seeh from the outside of the store.
Possession of a pocket frearm
by a person committing or at
tempting to commit a felony, IS
regarded as prima facie evidence
of criminal intent, and is punish
able by a mandatory sentence OF
five years extra Imprisonment.
Heavy penalties are prescribed
for second and third offenders.
Fourth offenders may be sentenced
to life Imprisonment.
Manufacturers serial numbers
or other identifying marks on pis-
tolls or reyolyers must not be al
tered or erased.
Aliens and persons who have
been convicted of a felony are not
permitted to possess a pistol or
revolver.
Now comes our friend, Jesse E.
Mercer, one time newspaper edi-
tor and well known Georgian, and
calls upon the incoming legislature
to curb the folly Of this internal
utterly defenseless - American
fad" He insists on a real anti-pis-
toll law with teeth in it. Mercer
says that the time has arrived
destroying this folly of pistol tot
ing. This mania for killing seems
to get worse, and now is the time
to act-gct behind the members
of our legislature, for we now have
only few more weeks to get this
important matter before the
soIons.

IDEAL HOME IN HER MIND
After All, Lover 81 Romance Had
More Satisfactory Existence Than
Had Her Successful Rivals,

Gloria was very. very sentimental, !,
she spelled Romance With a capital;
she dreamed day and night Of Love,
Home. Husband and Children.
She was twenty when she first met
her first ideal. but he proved much
more mercenary than he seemed. for
he married her best friend who was
very. very rich. Gloria's heart, how
ever. was caught In the rebound year
later when she met her second ideal.
He was rather older than she and liked
intellectual girls. which Is the only
way to explain his marrying her chum,
who was very. very clever.
by this time Glorla's twin sisters
were quite grOwnup. One was very,
very beautiful and the other had
very daring, dashing style. and they
married Gloria's third and fourth
ideals ~ -
Once more Gloria tried to make her
dreams come true. but when she found
her fifth ideal preferred her cousin,
" ho had what Is known US charm, she
decided to abandon the chase, and
from that time on she devoted her life
TO writing realistic stories. She wrote
Of Love that was real and lasting; she
created Homes where the servant
question was unknown; she had new
husband whenever she desired without
the formnlity of II divorce; and her
Children did exactly us they should
without any tlresome study Of Child.
Culture.
Altogether she had much more
satisfying and satisfactory existence
than any Of the wives Of her five
ideals.-Katherlne Negley in Judge.
