And of the longing of the convict outlet of the lake into Waccamaw river. It is understood that an en gineer will be secured at once to make surveys and ascertain the best plans under the existing conditions. The law requires that the dam and spillways shall be of such a nature as not to obstruct the passage of boats or fish. One plan is for a "Ours is a grimy bit of blue and ery small, Where sunbeams scarce venture o'ertop the wall." to Ordinaidy one might think that a man who begins to write poetry while in jail should have five years .added to his sentence.

Faucets To remove marks caused by wa ter dripping from the faucets in sinks or bath tubs nothing is better than powdered chalk mixed with a liquid ammonia. An old brush is an excellent thing to use in applying it. The movie magazines keep talking about the reason why Will S. Hart and his wift separated. Possibly Hart wasn't the right kind of liver. A great many people object to the ladies wearing fancy stockings. However, all we have to say about it is that they're all right as far as we can see.
