Strange Find Is Made In

suspended by a rope from a tree, bnt
when a negro babe la thus discovered

“find” reported in a yard over on Hin

sides there rer irted to the police that
a stillborn child ws* hanging in a tree
in her front yard, and immediately an
investigation was instituted. The ue
pro child was fonnd as reported, hang
lag by a string from the limb of l
small tier, but so far the Identity of
the inhuman mother has not yet been
discover'd. The ebsrge ol mnrder
may have to be answered if the gnilty

A local bill of mneh interest to elti*
zens of Amerions has just been intro
duced in the House by Bepresentative
Hixon of Sumter and the chanoes are
that it will pass aad become a law,
though Representative Lane will op*
pose ila passage as before.
The measure seeks to change the
method of electing members of the Po
lice Commission of Amerions, now a
■elf perpetuating body.
The same bill was introdnoed at the
heel of the last session by Bepresenta
tive Joiner of Hnmter, and was favora
bly considered by many members bnt,
largely owing to the lateness of the
time of its introduction, Mr, Joiner
failed to get it throngb.
But better success is hoped for at
this session.
In faot, Bepresentative Hixon is fully
of the opinion that his measure, a very
exeellent one, will go through at this
session.
At present the police board here baa
absolute eon - ol of the police force,
while the city conneil has nothing to
do with the employment of the men
and are not permitted to give them an
order or in anywise diroat members of
the force in thedisebarge of their duty.
This condition not infriquently
brings about a great deal of friction be *
tween the two bodies.
The bill introdnoed by Bapreasnta-
live Hixon seeks to make members of
the poliee board elective by the people
of Amerions, as are all other offlolMa
and employes, with Ithe mayor of the
oity, whoever he may be, as an ex-offi'-
eio member of the commission.
Under the present method the mem
bers eleet their their successors, mak
ing the board self perpetuating. Borne
of them have been on the board for a
long period of years. Many citizens
hope the bllljwiil pass, and the measnre
will be watehed with mnoh interest.
What objection ean there, be to a
measnre which places this important
question before the people.
Tt ere is no cough medicine bo popular
as Foley’s Honey and Tar. It contsiE*
no opiates or poisons and never falls to
cure. John B. Hudson.
