In view of the trial here f<u’ viola
tion of the state ])rohibitory law on
W’edne.'^day we aie constrained to
ask if there is not some way to in-!
<iuce witnesses to tell ‘‘the whole;
truth, ’as their oath rc(iuires. It is I
nearly imi)Ossil)le to convict a man
for selling whisky in lirevard, al-1

law 3S being violated here every

Tlie ladies of Hrevard are fortu-
riate in having sucii abundant oppor
tunities to select their K;ister hats as
jtre <»ttered by the displays of Mrs.
Mnglish and Mrs. Norton at their
Ka>ter 0])enings. We are more or
less observant of things of beauty,
undjjuy who are not satisfied i»y Mrs.
ICnglish’s display of stylish hats are
certainly hard to please.
Speaking of our abundant and
healthful water supply—why is it
that there is not a hydrant tor the
use of the ])ublic school? We are
violating the rules of the Water
(^>mpai:y every <lay by furnishing
the school children with drinking
water IVom the News office—their
nearest hydrant. This is not treat
ing the company right—neither is it
treating the children right. What
does the board of education mean l»y
thus ignoring the health and welfare
of the little ones? There is more
water needed at the school house
than simply for drinking purposes.

The County Commissioners are
to l e complimented on the great
improvements recently made on
the court house and county jail.
Since these buildings have been
repaired, Avhitewashed and thor
oughly cleansed it not only im
proves their looks but makes the
said buildings much healthier
and more pleasant for the occu
pants.
There is one thing that it would
pay the Commissioners to look
into and if possible to secure for
the county, and that is a fire
proof vault for the Clerk of Court
and the Register of Deeds, Ev
ery citizen of the county is di
rectly interested in the safety of
the papers and the records that
are kept in those two offices, and
if the court house should happen
to burn down at the present time
it would be only a matter of luck
if the contents were not de
stroyed. In the destruction of
the records in the office of the
Register of Deeds we would find
that many citizens and property
owners would have the only title
that they have to their land de
stroyed and it would necessitate
a legal proceeding to re establish
their title if a lawsuit did not
arise, and as a result the citizens
and the county would be put to
great expense. If the Clerk’s
office and its contents should
happen to burn up, a great
amount of confusion would arise
and it would cause endless litiga
tion and the loss of much money
to our citizens as well as extra
taxes to pay the expenses of the
special terms of court that would
have to be held in this county.
Now^ would it not be wise and
economical to preclude the dan
ger of the losses by having sub
stantial tire proof vaults in w’hich
to keep these priceless recoi-ds
and documents by investing
some few hundreds of dollars
now instead of waiting and hav
ing to j)ay out thousands after a
fire, to try and straighten out af
fairs, and then it would save all
the inconvenience that would
necessarily follow the destruc
tion by tire of our records. Near
ly every other county in the
state has seen the need of fire
proof vaults for the valuable rec
ords and ])apers and we must
do likewise or we will surely suf
fer for our neglect. It would be
better to pay a small extra tax
and save our original and pres
ent set of records or other docu
ments and archives than it would
be to have to pay a larger tax to
get up a new set after a fire.
There are at present some
little vaults in the two offices
mentioned that were intended
for fire proof vaults, but they are
not, and besides are so damp that
any books put in them would
mold, so they are worse than
useless. Large fire-proof iron
safes would cost too much, but
good, substantial brick or stone
vaults could be put in for a small
amount and it would be better
than insurance.
