OUTLAWING COFFIN TACKS.
The town of Monroe in the county
of Walton has put the legal ban on
cigarette smoking by all under 21
years, in addition to the State law
prohibiting the sale of the “tacks"
to those under their majority. The
ministers asked for the city ordi
dinance to this effect; the council
wanted expressions from the parents;
the preachers got a signed petition
of 100 fathers who have boys in their
teens; the council passed the law,
and it is against the town law for a
boy under voting age to puff the
weed in paper-rolled from the corp
oration limits of the capital of Wal
ton. They may smoke in the actual
residence of their parents—nowhere
else.
We hope to see at no distant day
every city and town in the country
pass such a law. Os all the vile and
detest.able things to see it is a small
boy smolcing a cigarette —and we
have them in this town by the
hundred.
There is a law against selling cig
arettes to minors, and the law is vi
olated on all sides. Any kid in
town, in knee pants, can get all the
cigarettes he wants at any time.
Can not this law be enforced? Is
any one trying to enforce it?
What is the outlook for the future
of these boys with this monstrous
habit fastened upon them? Nothing
blit wrecked constitutions and prem
ature decay of the physical and men
tal powers.
When a man is arrested for drunk
enness, the officers always try to get
him to tell where he got his liquor,
and the patient, being in a repent
ant mood, often divulges. Did you
ever reflect that cigarettes is almost,
if not quite, as injurious to a child
as whiskey? Our officers know the
law. They know it is being violated
on all sides by the vendors. Do they
ever try to find out who sells this
vile poison to the children?
If they don’t, why don’t they?
Now, what say the Mayor and
Council to having a law making it
. a q. child to smoke a cig
arette on the streets or smev.„
anywhere else except in his fatness
home.

Constables Dismissed By Biease.
Anderson, S. C. Juneß.—Allstate
constables of South Carolina were
dismissed from office today by Gov
Cole Blease. The governer, who is
here attending the state grand lodge
of Odd Fellows said that he had taken
this action as the results of the state
supreme court’s decision yesterday
with reference to the Webb liquor
law to the effect that liquor may be
shipped into South Carolina when
for personal use. I
Governor Blease said tonight that
under this decision the constables
cannot tell which shipments are de
signed for illegal use, and they are
therefore useless.

WIDOW OF MUR-
DERED MAN IS
IN JAIL AGAIN
Bartow Cantrell Confesses and Implicates
Mrs. Silvey Hawkins.
■ -
Sunday night Sheriff Spencer was
summoned to the jail, where he and
Deputy Buffingtori received the con
fession of Bartow Cantrell as being
the one who killed Arthur Hawkins
in his field near Bellton two weeks
ago.
He claimed that it was at the in
stigation and over-persuasion of his
brother, Jim Cantrell, that he com
mitted the crime; that his brother
had promised him six dollars and a
half interest in his still if he would
'“help him out.”
This confession was the cause of
the release of Loss Miller, whom
Bartow Cantrell claimed did the
shooting, on a $250 bond as a witness.
The confessions of the Cantrell
brothers caused the rearrest last
Friday of Mrs. Silvey Hawkins,wife
of the murdered man, who was out
on a SSOO bond.

her 18-months-old baby, to which
she seems devoted, and lavishes

the children of Jim Cantrell.

Editor Eagle:
Why is it that with all the-etfort
our little city is making to keep the
streets in more sanitary condition—
with all the expenses to which the
taxpayers are held in order to pro
vide officers for devising and for ex
ecution of ordinances—machinery,
workmen, and animals—why is it
that we are constantly confronted
by unsightly accumulations of litter
and filth of various kinds and de
grees on our streets, from one end of
town to another?
Why do we-- find papers, some of
them torn to bits, scattered hither
and yon, from onefcide of the streets
|to the other? :
I Why do we find fruit peelings of
any old kind lying around promis
cuously on the streets? Is there no
regulation against such? If there
is none, there might be wisdom in
providing one.
Why do we find no space within
the limits of the town where we may
escape from the torturing torments
of the tickling house-fly? He does
not confine himself to the house—
perhaps he is a suffragist, and does
not care*to have his sphere limited
to the house.
Why do some of the garbage recep
tacles provided by the city stand
empty, while the flies are regaled
on the open streets with the materi
al which should be securely covered
within the cans, until the city scav
enger can make his rounds to take

Terrell won first prize, and Miss
Fannie Scupin and Mr. Boyd Sloan
won the consolation.
Miss Isabelle Goforth, sister of the

Summer, presided over the punch
bowl, and Misses Louise Whitehead,
Louise and Lucile Brewer served an

“Movie” Actor by Profession,
“Speed King” by Preference.
Carlyle Blackwell, the popular
leading-man of the Kalem Stock Co.
at Glendale, Cal., is a self-confessed
law - breaker—a “joy - rider” and
“speedbug” of the worst type. When
he has any spare time, which is
seldom, he drives a high-powered
motor car over the California roads
at a rate of speed that would do
Barney Oldfield credit. “Relaxa
tion.” he says. And that in the face
of all the strenuous roles he enacts
before the camera.

Mr. Blackwell is young, good
looking, athletic, versatile, and has
brains. Little wonder that his por
trayal of character parts is conspic
uously intelligent.
He is “nervy,” too. Not long ago,
while leading a charge in “The
Spanish Revolt of 1836,” he injured
his leg, and although he was later
confined to his bed for ten days,
getting himself into shape again, he
quickly finished the scene with no I
evidence of the pain he was suffering.
