A penchant to swindle is
seldom entirely out of the hu¬
man system. A speaking
proof of this fact was exhibit¬
ed here lately when a
reputable citizen sold one of
the local merchants a quantity
of tallow for butter, it being
neatly prepared in one pound
moulds. Now that is a smooth
scheme and was a shrewd
trade, butter bringing fifteen
cents per pound while tallow
is going for only six.

L. P. Landis, of Atlanta,
was here yesterday demon¬
strating the practical Hatchf use of
the Elliott & Book
Typewriter on record* work
in the Ordinary’s and Clerk’s
offices. This machine puts
all documents to record in a
printed form with
ink and does it in just o ( «4*
third the space as would be
required if written. Resides
this economy of space the
^ e jjpk^ity, an d neatness its use
records are things of much
value and should not be over¬
looked. The machine costs
only $150 and its cost would
be saved to the county in three
years or less time in the saving
of records, alone. At present
the Clerk and Ordinary re¬
quire an average of five or six
records a year at a cost of
about $15 each. Winh this
machine but two would be
needed and a net gain of $45
or $60 could be kept in the
treasury. At the next meet¬
ing of the county board the
matter will be put before them
and from our knowledge of
the commissioners as progres
sive business men we predict
that they will - ad
chase of a machine for use in
the offices above named.

Of late we have heard much
complaint of the offensive be¬
havior of parties during
services at the churches here
in town. We have had no
intimation as to who the erring
individuals are but it is the
imperative prerogative of the
preachers, the good people
and the council to see that a
halt is called to such conduct.
There is no law to force any¬
body to go to church but
there is plenty of it to make
him behave himself if he
does go.
