GEORGIA BEHIND P. C.
It is highly gratifying to the friends
of Presbyterian college to learn of the
interest being manifested in the insti
tution by the Presbyterians in Geor
gia. Last fall, it will be recalled, the
Georgia synod pledged its support to
the college and one after another, the
presbyteries ratified the action. The
last official b'ody to pass on the ques
tion, Atlanta presbytery, acted favor
ably at its spring meeting last week
and this fine attitude of interest and
helpfulness will be a great stimulant
to the college.
With Georgia now united with our
own state in pledging its support to
Presbyterian college, a brighter day
lies ahead and unprecedented pros
pects for progress and growth are
now in view.
Georgia has shown a fine, helpful
spirit and President McSween is to
be congratulated on what he has ac
complished. Through his untiring ef
forts and unselfish service, the col
lege’s sphere of usefulness ^s_to be

nancing the project have suffered a
relapse. The legality question of the
$230,000 appropriation provided for
the road by the delegation at its past
session has been raised from the view
point of bond buyers. And we are fur
ther told that there is an undecided
legal question between the state high
way department and the county af
fecting the anticipated interest rate.
This means that for the present at
least, the Clinton-Kinard route will
not be paved and that the missing link
of the state’s main highway will con
tinue to be neglected.
The road continues a nightmare.
PRESIDENT SHOWS HAND
Solicitor J. Lyles Glenn of Chester,
I warm personal friend of President
I Hoover, gets the new judgeship ap-
ipointment in this state and his selec-
1 tion by the White House seems to
have given universal satisfaction,
i It will be recalled that the fight for
. this additional judge was lead through
j the senate by Senator Blease almost
single handed. When he was unable
to get the bill through, he held up a
ibt of similar appointments in other
states in the clostng hours of the last
session of congress and finally suc
ceeded in getting his bill through by
using the “whip” over the heads of
his colleagues.
The new federal job created, Blease
at once announced his support of
Congressman Dominick, political
friend and former law partner, for

ton come to Charleston to iddress and

tions. A Charlestonian, active in par
ent-teacher activities, expressed confi
dence that teachers and parents would
receive benefits from a conference
with Mr. Sutton.
Teachers who strive to understand
the individuals in their classes usually
discover the cause of a bright lad’s
apparent failure and where the lad is
brought to see the error of his ways a
better student is the result. Corporal
punishment is not a remedy for some
delinquencies. If the boy feels that he
is unfairly used, a hurtful antagonism
is produced. Mr. Sutton’s argument is
that morale and discipline are related.
W'^here the morale is high, discipline is
more easily enforced.

Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, a^
leader in the “regular” Republican
ranks there, is prepared to lead a

so against the sharp limitation which
he desires on tariff limitation.
The Republican members of the
house ijays and means committee,
meanwhile, are rounding out their
draft of the tariff revision bill in

FARM RELIEF
TO BE PUSHED
Both Sides of Capitol To Spend Week
Debating the .\IcNary Measure-
President’s Views Considered.
Washington, April 22.—Farm relief
claimed overwhelmingly predominat
ing attention on both sides of the cap-
itol today as congress entered the sec
ond week of its special session.
Not only had President Hoover’s
declaration against the export deben
ture plan focused interest on this sub
ject, but the house had reached the
last day of its general-debate on a
arm relief bill whieh meets bis views
in Georgia will contribute their part
in this forward-reaching educational
movement.
Golf is like life: The interesting
courses are the ones with the most
bunkers.
W’hen a man asks your advice you
should immediately try to find out
what he wants to do, and then govern
yourself accordingly.
There are two sides to every hap- j
pening and issue, and debt is no ex- [
ception to the rule. In one direction |
debt leads to prosperity and plenty
but in the opposite direction it ar
rives at worry and want.
In his characteristic style, Blease
denies that he contributed five hun
dred dollars to the Republican cam
paign fund in South Carolina. If he
did, was anybody foolish enough to ex-
peat him to own it?
People who have charm are the
■ones who listen wpll, who seem very
much interested in what we have to
say, and who seek few opportunities
to put forth their own opinions. To
have charm is to have a real and ear
nest interest in others.
A Rhode Island red hen is said by
its Washington owner, to have laid
80 eggs in 80 consecutive days. Be
lieve it or not, but this barnyard tale
is referred to our friend, Mr. C. C. Bai-;
ley, expert local poultry fancier, for i
investigation beyond a reasonable
STILL A NIGHTMARE
For a long, long time, we wouldn’t
attempt to say how long, the Clinton-
Kinard road has been in the limelight.
Columns upon columns have been
written about it, explanations too nu
merous to count have been offered,
and pleading in Columbia for this pro
ject has been one of the orders of the
day. There have been promises, all of
which have been broken, that this
missing link would be paved after this
section protested vigorously against
a wasting of money by surface treat
ing. And to think that all of this has
amounted to nothing but bunk. The
senator from this county has on sev
eral occasion killed the bill after it got
to his calendar while certain members
have contended that they favored go
ing ahead with the work. If there has
ever been any legislative enthusiasm
manifested on hard-surfacing this
link, we haven’t observed it, and we
doubt that anyone else has.
But this “still” opposition faded
away last summer on the eve of the
election and we were promised by the
delegation that the road would be
paved early this year.
It now appears that a monkey
wrench has again been thrown into
the machinery. We are informed from
the county seat that further postpone
ment of the project may be expected.
It is stated that the “whole thing” is
now tied up and that the plans for fi-
threw their support to Mr. Dominick
and they thought they had the plum
for him when the surprise word came
from the president that Mr. Glenn
was the winner.
President Hoover by his decision,
broke up the whole play house of
Blease. Evidently, the chrds were not
properly slacked when the new job
was created, and the man picked to
fill it.
WITH THE PRESS
The Teacher and the Boy
(From The News and Courier)
If a teacher is to benefit boys he
must be in sympathy with them, said
Willis A. Sutton, of Atlanta, special
ist in boy psychology, in his address
before the district conference of Ro
tary International in Orangeburg. A
! teacher can not achieve results if he
i is out of temper or arbitrary. He needs
; to understand the boys in his class,
j Speaking out of his own experience,
j Mr. Sutton said that when a class of
; high school boys was showing a high
percentage of failures, he would talk
■ intimately and as a friend with indi-
; viduals, encouraging them to do bet-
I ter, never tongue-lashing them. If a
1 boy who can do well is backward in a
I .subject, Mr. Sutton said, there is a
I symptom of a lack of understanding
•between boy and taecher.
I Parents, impressed with the sound-
' ness of Mr. Sutton’s reasoning, dis
cussed his suggesiton eagerly. A re-
a discussion of its measure.
As the principal piece of legislation
recommended by President Hoover,
both chambers are giving farm relief
right of way. The house plans to pass
its bill Wednesday or Thursday, but
the senate, operating under rules
which do not permit such definite lim
itations on discussion, is expected to
require several weeks for consider
ation of the proposal.
Although the president’s declara
tion is counted on to prevent adoption
of the debenture provision by the sen
ate and thereby forestall a serious
disagreement between the chambers
on this issue, the first week of the
session has clearly pointed to difficul
ties in prospect over proposals on the
administration program.
The disagreements appear to be
brewing most actively w’ithin the Re-

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A
TIRE IS THE PART YOU CAN’T SEEI
It is hard to unders|,and why one tire is better than
another, judging by looks or the first thousands of miles
of service.
But after you’ve thumped and hammered your tires
for months ,the hidden part of a tire, the most important
factor in determining life and mileage—then reveals its
worth. It is the body, concealed under the tread, and
composed of plies of cord fabric. This body absorbs the
blows a tire gets. It bends millions of times, under the
car’s weight, to cushion your riding. How many times the
cords will flex and recover, or how they will stretch
without breaking, dteermines their usefulness.

^ The*truth of the matter is that the
man who patronizes the bootlegger
and encourages him in his violation of
the law is just as much an enemy to
society and good government as the
bootlegger himself. When an awak
ened public conscience understands
this, there will be improvement over
present deplorable conditions.
There are two phases of life unfa
vorable to peace and comfort, the one
is adversity, the other prosperity. It
is hard to tell in which a man is more
discontented with himself and more
offensive to others. When he is down
his friends wish him up on their own
account; when he is high up they
sigh for mountains to fall on him and
bu^y him out of sight.
I ATTRACTING LOVE - i
i Sometimes it is called “charm,”!
sometimes “personality.” A more re- •
j cent term for it is, “It.” But the thing
that suddenly makes a boy realize
that the girl with whom he has grown
i up is no longer his playmate, but his!
sweetheart, is really physical magne
tism—the most important phase of at
traction between a man and woman.
It is the divine force from which love
evolved.
But unfortunately all the girls are
not born with a sufficient amount of
this magnetism. It’s like curly hair —
you either have it or you don’t. How
then can one acquire such a W’onder-
, ful force-^and make no mistake; it
can be acquired!
To acquire your full quota of mag-
jnv.<ism you must retain the spirit of
youth. You must be throbbing with
•the forces of life. You must make ev
ery part of your body thoroughly •
alive. You must become strong
THE UBIQUITOUS FLY
With warm weather here again,
swatting the fly is meritorious prac
tice, but swatting the fly’s bfeeding
place js far better. The best way to
swat the fly is to eliminate, in and
about the household, the places where
it breeds, and the best time for this
vvorje of elimination is at present. A
little spring cleaning is worth more
.than a lot of summer swatting.
Exposed gart^ge and filth in gener
al represent the most prolific fly
breeding spots. Millions of these ^rm
carrying, filthy, annoying insects can
be produced from a small accumula
tion of rotting refuse. Owing to indi
vidual carelessness in this direction
countless flies are each year bred t
spread their damage.
There is no possibility 6f going too
• far in the elimination oApotential fly
breeding conditions, for the fly’s
death-dealing power is not exaggerat
ed. It is reliably stated that 40,000
deaths annually in the United States
can be traced directly to infections
brought by flies. Than the fly, there
pleasant to look upon. You must be
clean inside as well as outside. In ad
dition to regular exercise, you must
eat wholesome, foods and give your
body proper care in every way. A
clear eye, beautifully tinted skin, a
well developed chest and body—these
you must have.
You must send out from your body
a glowing aura of femininity, for sex
is the diviiing line between manhood
ad womanhood, and the more marked
your sex, the greater your attractwe-
ness. Look to the animal world for
your perfect object lesson. Why is the
male bird more gorgeously plumed
than the female? Because it is na
ture’s way of attracting the female,
and it is through the female that the
torch of all life is handed doAvn.
So take your choice. You can make
yourself a splendid woman whose life
is crowJed with exalted experiences.
Or you can be the clod, plodding dlong
through an empty life. It’s up to you.

■ SERMONS WITHOUT WORDS
^ere are sermons all around us,
just waiting to be seen; and, they are
so impressive—far more so to me than
those framed artfully fdr itching ears,
I have seen the young mother put
ting her first babe to the breast for
the very first time. No word to mar
the sacred stillness. Maybe just the
^rfaintest whisper of angel-wings that
J am sure fluttered near. Here was
the cherub at the fountain—the dawn
of creation, a picture worth the brush
of a Murillo—of a Millet. And the
I sermon-—a volume of eloquence—the
sacred—the sublime!
I watched the woodmen, hacking at
the base of a mighty oak. Cheerily
they sang, as chips leaped from their
pygmy blows. Silently the forest giant
stood, unconscious of the deepening
wound, now perilously near his heart.
At last the crack of-immediate doom
—a swaying body—a thunderous crash
to the earth. The proud crest, from its
heavenly altitude, now bent with soul
less dust. A tower of liberty and free
dom now supine—helpless—at the feet
of its ddspoilers! Never to rise again,
as truth crushed to earth may.
Man, miliiant proponent of liberty
and freedom, chief executioner of
both! Left to his own devices, man be
comes 1^ destroyer of all about him,
transforming the natural ’iito the ar-
ti^cial, the sublimg to the ridiculous.
Left to his own devices, mind you;
last of all, he frames his own shack
les, binds himself to eterr 1 servitude.
What a sermon for tht si ng eye!
Not all sermons are pleasing, espec
ially those we see; but they are ser
mons, nevertheless, and, bristling with
true testimony. To heed each faithful
sermon is wise, whether seen or heard;
it is ourduty to see and hear. '
